Chapter 278 It’s clear who is the enemy

Xie Hui came out of the Jiankang Palace a little distraught, and the family that was always paying attention to Xie Hui naturally got the information immediately.

When the heads of these aristocratic families saw the goods converted into military merit, they all gasped.

"Brilliant, really brilliant..."

The aristocratic family has never been a united system.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, they will be the first to bite.

And which benefits are big enough?

The last time Liu Yu forced the southern aristocratic families to move north and lured the northern aristocratic families to the center of Jiankang in disguise, the benefits for the northern aristocratic families at that time were great enough.

For this reason, they launched an attack on the southern family, and finally took away part of the central power cake under the protection of Liu Yizhen.

Is the benefit of this war dividend large enough now?

Of course it’s enough!

How much profit will such a large amount of goods bring to the workshop?

The shining five-baht money confused many people's minds, and some sober people were drowned by the noisy sounds around them.

These people may not have seen Liu Yi's "sinister intentions."

But they will settle their own accounts.

That is...what do I need money for?

This is obviously a political game! It is obviously a fight in the officialdom! It is obviously a struggle for power!

but……

Something?

Official position?

Power?

Money? What’s the use of this thing? Isn’t it just a pile of scrap metal! What do you want to do with it? Become a pig for the emperor and wait to be fattened before being killed?

But the funny thing is that the people who see through this part happen to be people from big families.

The reason why these aristocratic families can analyze so calmly is because they are not short of money.

There is a shortage of people!

Those small aristocratic families and the hostile forces suppressed by these big aristocratic families are all in need! Some people are even so short that they can barely afford to eat, and they are about to fall from a "noble family" to a "poor family".

What is the difference between this and those high-minded people who say that low-income people can "rent out their idle houses and drive their private cars to run illegal businesses"?

Many people cannot even sustain their basic survival, but you are still forcing Lai Lai to say:

"I suspect this is the emperor's conspiracy!"

"Everyone, ignore the emperor! We don't make this money!"

"I would rather let you all starve to death than let the emperor and the government succeed..."

Who do you think cares about you?

As expected, the aristocratic families all waved the greeting cards in their hands and started to make gestures towards Liu Yizhen like crazy.

"Your Majesty, how beautiful does my silk look?"

"Your Majesty, look at the celadon I produced! How beautiful is the color?"

"Your Majesty! Look at the elixir made by my family's ancestral skills! One pill is stronger than six!"

"..."

At this time, everyone had no time to engage in their own plots and tricks and beat up their own little ninety-nine, but instead sang and danced around Liu Yizhen.

Follow Liu Yizhen and you will have meat to eat.

Just know this.

More and more aristocratic families began to join this feast, and the demons danced wildly one after another, and began to compete for the meat inside.

As these people were won over by Liu Yizhen, it meant that the original tide of mystery had receded.

Now, Liu Yizhen's enemies finally exposed their naked bodies.

The wealthy Yu family.

Fan Tai, the doctor of Guanglu.

There is another person Liu Yizhen least expected, Xu Peizhi, the prefect of Wu County.

He is also Xu Xianzhi’s nephew...

"It's actually them."

Liu Yizhen was not surprised by the first two.

The Yu family was once a wealthy family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although it declined later, its heritage is still there. It is still the top family under Wang Xie.

But because Liu Yu wanted to suppress the aristocratic family after he came to power, he chose the Yu family as the chicken to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys during the "Yi Xi Land Cutoff". He confiscated a lot of the Yu family's land and also killed many Yu family members.

It can be said that Liu Yu came to power by stepping on the face and body of the Yu family. They almost had a blood feud with the Liu Song royal family.

Therefore, Liu Yizhen was not surprised at all when the Yu family showed up.

As for Fan Tai...

This person had a relationship with Liu Yizhen before.

His insights into finance far exceed those of other people of this era, so Liu Yizhen was not surprised to be able to detect Liu Yizhen's little thoughts.

In addition, Fan Tai actually had a long-standing grudge with Xu Xianzhi, who was now in power, so it would be understandable for him to go against the government.

Only the last person...

Xu Peizhi! This man is Xu Xianzhi’s nephew!

Liu Yu was very kind to him when he was alive. Why did he come out to oppose Liu Yizhen at this time?

This left Liu Yizhen in a dilemma.

Does Xu Xianzhi know that Xu Peizhi is like this?

Liu Yizhen always thought that these officials in his center would not jump out to cause trouble at this time.

But I never thought that these people might have deceptive relatives.

Fortunately for Xie Hui, after all, he comes from the Xie family of Chen County, and the quality of his people is generally above the average level.

On the contrary, people like Xu Xianzhi came from a humble family. Once he became powerful, everyone around him benefited from it. After he reached a high position, he no longer knew his surname.

"Call Xu Shangshu to come."

Even if Xu Xianzhi is involved now, should Liu Yizhen use thunderous means or thunderous means? It is impossible to stop eating because of choking.

Because this is Liu Yizhen's first game after taking office.

If we compromise this time, where is the majesty of the emperor? How can the emperor's authority convince the ruling and opposition parties?

It's just that Xu Xianzhi has a special status after all, and he can be regarded as one of the few pillars supporting the Liu Song Dynasty. If Liu Yizhen doesn't give an explanation and rashly takes Xu Peizhi down, it is likely to cause other people to doubt the relationship between monarch and minister.

Xu Xianzhi now represents the power and nobles of a poor family, and even carries the influence of Liu Yu. He has a lot to bear. Liu Yizhen cannot let him have problems for the time being before irreconcilable conflicts arise.

Xu Xianzhi, who was suddenly summoned, was also anxious and uneasy when he came to Jiankang Palace.

From Liu Yizhen's recent actions, Xu Xianzhi also vaguely noticed that Liu Yizhen seemed to be trying to change the rules of the game in the court.

The young emperor seemed not to want anyone to be his opponent, sitting across from him and having a tug of war with him.

The scene he hoped to see more seemed to be one of sitting firmly in the clouds, overlooking everything from above, and treating everyone as his chess pieces.

This extreme control over power, this terrifying desire to control everything, frightened Xu Xianzhi.

Liu Yu's death seemed to have shattered Liu Yizhen's outermost layer of restraints, releasing a monster without reservation.

"Xu Shangshu is here? Don't work too hard recently. Are you feeling better..."

They chatted about common things, without any intention of saying goodbye, but this was often the case, and Xu Xianzhi became more and more frightened.

Until Liu Yizhen mentioned Xu Peizhi...

"Xu Shangshu, your nephew is really capable."

Xu Xianzhi took a deep breath.
