Inside the Dexing Pavilion.

As Wu Nian's "imperial study", the decoration and furniture of Dexing Pavilion are simple yet exquisite.

Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, Wang Youxiao, and Chen Jiagui stood in two rows, waiting for Wu Nian's arrival, their expressions more or less solemn.

Liu Zhixing was even more worried.

"It's rare for you to come together. What happened?" Wu Nian walked in from the door. Although his heart was solemn, he asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he went straight to the throne and sat down, looking up at the five people.

The five people looked at each other, and Li Yong stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty. Because your Majesty established the Han Kingdom and annexed Goguryeo, the situation in Liaodong became stable. It attracted many Han people who fled south to the Chu Kingdom and returned to live in Liaodong.

."

"I know this. Is this good or bad?" Wu Nian shook his head and said.

Although he is the "king of the family" and basically doesn't care about things, he is not blind to what is happening outside the window and knows everything.

Mosquito legs are also meat.

The number of rich people, ordinary people, and scholarly families who fled to Chu State was actually quite large. Liaodong experienced more than ten years of war, and the population did not increase but decreased.

In the year of Wu, many soldiers and their families migrated to Goguryeo.

It is a good thing to expand the population and increase the number of Han people.

But when these people returned to Liaodong, they asked Tian Wen for shelter.

Wu Nian refuted all these people's requests. Although these people fled south to Chu State and did not surrender to the Mongolian Yuan people, they did not lose their integrity.

But you were not there when we were defending our country, and now that we have won, you are back.

In this case, your fields and houses will be confiscated and distributed to the meritorious soldiers.

This is very reasonable.

There is no land or house. Unless you communicate with the soldiers yourself and purchase the land and house through peaceful means.

Anyone who dares to insult my soldiers will be killed without mercy.

All in all, neither good nor bad.

But this matter has been determined. There is no need to alarm the large array of cabinet ministers, chief inspectors, and chiefs of the Imperial City Department.

and.

Wu Nian looked at Liu Zhixing curiously. He was the first assistant. He should be the first to report things. Why was it the second assistant Li Yong's turn?

"Originally, it was neither good nor bad. But the spies from the Imperial City Department discovered that there were spies from the Chu State among them, allowing these people to communicate with each other. The network of relationships is very complicated. And there are officials involved in the case, so we came together to interview the king.

"Li Yong nodded and said solemnly.

Wu Nian's face also became serious, and he said in an unpredictable tone: "I see. In the Battle of Liaodong, some of our bureaucrats did lose their ancestral property. Now they also want to get their ancestral property back. And they are also fighting with the Chu people.

Contact? The scar is really healed and I forgot about the pain."

"That's what the so-called bureaucrats are like. If you don't be strict with them, they will be unscrupulous."

But after finishing speaking, Wu Nian laughed again and said: "It turns out that this is Chu State's plan. Such a shameless conspiracy was actually brought out. Chu State is already at the end of its rope."

There are as many bureaucrats as there are people.

There were very few people who fled to Chu State. Although they were influential, as long as they held the gun, their status would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Moreover, he is surrounded by a large group of vested interest groups, not to mention brotherhood, that is, heroes and generals.

For example, this guy Zhao Yanting, whoever wants to overthrow the King of Han is his enemy.

The people of Chu would be horrified if they resorted to such a stratagem.

But the matter still needs to be dealt with. After Wu Nian thought for a while, he said to everyone: "The three departments of the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment will conduct a joint trial, with the Imperial City Department assisting. Catch everyone in one go."

"Divided into three types of people."

"One type is people who have no bad intentions and just want to return to their ancestral property. These people should occupy the majority. We will deprive them of all their slaves, gold and silver, and keep their books. Based on their heads, they will be given acres of land and exiled to Goguryeo."

"Don't they want fields? There are plenty of fields in Goguryeo. If a man gives them five acres of land, as long as they work hard, they can be self-sufficient and have plenty."

"There are few Han people in Goguryeo. Moving them there will also help assimilate Goguryeo, killing two birds with one stone."

"For the bureaucrats involved in this matter, they will be killed if they should be killed, and those who should not be killed will be sent to the army, and all their families will be moved to Goguryeo."

"Anyone who implements the Chu State's plan, or knows the plan, will be executed. Their homes will be confiscated. Their family members will not be appointed as officials and will be made into slaves."

"Yes." Everyone said yes. But Liu Zhixing's reaction was half a beat slower, and his expression became more worried. Wu Nian had an extra thought and let the other four people go down, leaving Chen Jiagui alone.

"Jiagui. I see that the Chief Assistant is in a trance. Is there anything happening to him in this case? For example, his brothers and family members are involved in the case."

Wu Nian asked in a deep voice.

The function of Chen Jiagui's Imperial City Division is somewhat similar to that of the Royal Guards. They spy on foreign intelligence and hunt down the spies of other domestic countries.

But there is no power to supervise the officials, and no power to judge.

Chen Jiagui is very well-informed, but he still passively accepts some information.

Chen Jiagui immediately raised his hand and said, "Report to your Majesty. Mr. Liu has a serious teacher who seems to be involved in the case. But it is not clear to what extent he is involved in the case."

"Teacher?" Wu Nian's expression was stunned for a moment. He thought Liu Zhixing had some family members and his brothers were involved in the case, but he didn't expect it to be the teacher.

But soon Wu Nian realized that the teachers in this world were not the teachers in the previous life.

In my previous life, I had a solid school and a smooth teacher.

The relationship between teachers in this world is similar to that of father and son, and some relationships are even closer than that of fathers.

Respect the teacher.

Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.

Liu Zhixing's deviance was limited to his indifference to the imperial examination. From a certain perspective, Liu Zhixing was actually a very traditional scholar-official.

He is talented, has high moral character, has a calm personality, is not extreme, and is not aloof. Sitting in the position of prime minister, he can handle conflicts among colleagues very well.

To put it simply, he is the prime minister, and he is the prime minister.

Say something embarrassing.

Wu Nian felt that even if he died suddenly and Wu Yu succeeded him, the country would be able to stabilize after a period of turmoil.

Entrust an orphan six feet away and send a life a hundred miles away.

The Minister of the State.

But it would be difficult to manage the country without Liu Zhixing.

Prime Minister.

Prime Minister.

Liu Zhixing’s teacher was involved in the case.

What to do?

It's time to be tolerant.

Or should it be more severe?

If used tolerantly, will there be serious consequences?

If it were more severe, would Liu Zhixing be chilled?

After Wu Nian thought about it for a while, he felt his head hurt. It has been really difficult to be a king since ancient times.

Even though he was hiding deep in the palace, he still couldn't escape.
