When Wang Bin saw Zhao Tai asking about it, he quickly said: "I am about to report this matter to the king." Zhao Tai looked at him and said,

"Sir, please tell me." Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "After Wanyan Lian and others left the palace, not long after they returned home, they seemed to have discussed it and began to sell off their property." Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Oh, they have figured it out and want to raise 300,000 yuan for the lonely king." Wang Bin shook his head.

"Your Majesty, if they really spend 300,000 yuan when the time comes, it means that they are still awake and know that they must rely on and support you so that they can continue to survive. Then I think that your Majesty can treat them as ordinary people.

, there is no need to treat them differently, let them live in peace of mind. If they can't take it out when the time comes and deal with it with tens of thousands of guan, it means that they are indeed stupid and unworthy of the king's forgiveness." Zhao Tai is a smart man, he narrowed his eyes,

"Sir, what you mean is that they are pretending to be poor!"

"The king just killed the official slaves on the grounds that they did not rescue Kaifeng and colluded with the Mongols. At the moment, the identity of the loyal king of the Jin Kingdom is still of some use to the king. I think they want to make people think that they are selling the house openly like this.

Your Majesty, you bully the Jin clan and force him to

They sold off their supplies and then used public opinion to force the king to take back his orders." Wang Bin said solemnly: "If they have this idea, I think they must be eliminated." Now that the finances of the feudal government are tight, and the finances are tight, Zhao Tai gives it to his subordinates.

The officials' salaries and rewards will be reduced.

This directly harmed the interests of Wang Bin and others. Therefore, Wang Bin, Wang Wentong, Chen Zhong and others from the military hoped that Zhao Tai could make a fortune in Xuzhou.

As a result, Zhao Tai had money and was naturally generous to them. Therefore, Wang Bin always wanted Zhao Tai to kill these Jin clan members.

Zhao Tai felt a little annoyed after hearing Wang Bin's words.

"When the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, Gu missed his old feelings and protected them, but they actually thought of tearing down Gu. This is unbearable! There are many Jurchens and former officials of the Jin Kingdom in the vassal government now. If they do this, they will definitely

It will make the Jurchens in the vassal government dissatisfied with Gu." In Zhongyi Town, Wanyan Chengde, Wanyan Chenghu and other Jurchens, needless to say, their ancestors were the founders of the Jin Kingdom, and they must have feelings for the Jin Kingdom.

.

In addition, the Kingdom of Jin was established for more than a hundred years, and many officials under Zhao Tai had served as officials in the Kingdom of Jin. During their time as officials in the Kingdom of Jin, these people also received favors from the Jin Kingdom's court and had feelings for the Kingdom of Jin.

In contrast, Zhao Tai has not yet established a real political power, and it has only been more than two years since Zhao Tai's rise, and he has not yet been able to establish a strong relationship with them. Everyone's sense of belonging to Zhongyi Town still needs time to develop.

In this case, the behavior of Wanyan Lian and others will undoubtedly bring trouble to Zhao Tai and will not be conducive to Zhao Tai's efforts to unite people's hearts.

These old officials of the Jin Kingdom will have a bad impression of Zhao Tai when they see Zhao Tai being so loyal to the person they were once loyal to.

Moreover, Zhao Taigang killed his official slaves on the grounds that they had betrayed the Jin Kingdom, but now he forced the Jin clan members to sell their sons, daughters, and houses, which made him look unhappy.

Wang Bin echoed: "The king is wise! They probably want to use public opinion to threaten the king!" Zhao Tai snorted coldly,

"They dare! The thing I fear the most is threats!" Just as the two of them were saying this, the guards outside suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, Generals Wanyan Chengde and Wanyan Chenghu want to see you." Upon hearing this, Zhao Tai frowned.

Wang Bin lost no time and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that after the army entered the city, Wanyan Lian and others moved around a lot with the Jurchen generals in the army." After hearing this, Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes and said:

"Do you think Chengde and Chenghu are here to intercede for them?" Wang Bin was noncommittal.

"When the king receives them, you will know as soon as you ask!" Zhao Tai walked to the middle hall and sat down, pondered for a while, and waved his hand.

"Let them come in!" After a while, Chengde and Chenghu entered the festival hall and saluted with clasped fists:

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Tai smiled and said:

"What are you doing with these two generals?" The two looked at each other and tried to shirk each other. Cheng Hu, who was still more aggressive after doing so, said:

"Your Majesty, after I entered the city, I went to meet my distant relatives in the city. They fled from Kaifeng to Xuzhou and were exploited by official slaves. Their life was extremely difficult. Now your Majesty requires them to pay 300,000 yuan. In order to raise money, they have begun to change.

They are selling property. I came here to ask your Majesty to be considerate of them and see if I can get some relief." Zhao Tai was annoyed. Even though Wanyan Lian pretended to be poor, he dared to use the Jurchens in the vassal government to impose pressure on him.

The pressure is really unreasonable.

Zhao Tai originally wanted to give them a chance to hand over part of their money, give up the privileges of the Jin Kingdom's nobles, and let them become ordinary people under his rule.

Now it seems that they have wasted this opportunity. Zhao Tai was angry in his heart, but smiled on his face:

"Haha ~ Chenghu, don't be deceived by them!" Upon hearing this, Chengde and Chenghu looked confused. Zhao Tai stood up and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"The fall of the Jin Kingdom was due to the external Mongolian invasion and the internal insects that hollowed out the Jin Kingdom. These people received a large amount of money from the imperial court. When Kaifeng was in crisis and needed support, they escaped from Kaifeng in advance and came to Xuzhou to live alone.

Now they are fighting alone against Mongolia and need financial support, but they are deliberately pretending to be poor to continue to evade responsibility. Don’t be fooled by their appearance!" Upon hearing this, Wang Bin followed Zhao Tai's words and said:

"Yes! In order to save Kaifeng, the two generals, the king, fought east and west and tried their best, but they were hiding in Xuzhou and dreamed of life and death. The two generals were also born and died. You should know that it is not easy for soldiers. The vassal government needs a lot of money to fight against Mongolia.

, now the soldiers have trouble even eating, the king just asked them to take out a

They wanted money to support the soldiers in fighting the gold, but they just pretended. The two generals asked, what should the king do with it?" The two were invited by distant relatives in the city. They saw that the clans in the city were selling their belongings and houses, and were listening to their relatives.

When people complained, they thought that Zhao Tai forced them to pay and forced them to sell their property.

They felt that it was not easy for the clan, so they ran to Zhao Tai, hoping that Zhao Tai would be more tolerant and not embarrass the clan of the Jin Kingdom.

Now that the two of them heard what Zhao Tai and Wang Bin said, they didn't know who to believe for a moment. Zhao Tai stepped forward and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"The overthrow of the imperial court is inseparable from these insects. They used their clan status to make money, but did not use it when the imperial court was in danger. Now they have alienated us, and together with the official slaves, secretly communicated with Mongolia, I decided to punish them severely.

"Zhao Tai glanced at Wang Bin, who immediately understood.

"Yes, when I searched the mansion of the official slaves, I found that Wanyan Lian and others, together with the official slaves, wanted to surrender to Mongolia." Chengde and Chenghu were shocked.

"Is this happening?" Zhao Tai said in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
