Chapter 62 Disaster
If it were other dynasties, Zhang Yue would not dare to guess like this.
But the Western Han Dynasty was different.
The emperors of the Liu family have all been active and active people.
Today, I am one of the best.
Since he ascended the throne in the first year of Jianyuan, he has traveled almost half of China in the forty-six years.
Go to Mount Tai for the Fengshan Mountains, go to the Great Wall to the Seals, and face Jieshi in the east to observe the vast sea and Jiangdu in the south to observe the dangers of the Yangtze River.
He even went to the Yellow River to breach the breach and commanded the army to block the breach.
This is his public tour history.
I don’t know how many times I went quietly in private and secretly!
Especially when I was young.
He often dressed up as a Hou of Pingyang and Gaihou, wandering around Guanzhong.
Sometimes when I was intrigued, I took my entourage guards and slept in the wild for several days.
Surprisingly, the emperor who was decisive in the court and wanted to kill the ministers and the whole family of the ministers at any time was extremely generous to those people who offend or even offend him.
There are countless stories about the emperor and his father, Emperor Xiaojing, who went on a tour in confinement in Guanzhong.
Even Zhang Yue recalled the records of the grandfather and the Han books, there is a conclusive evidence that confirms the emperor's constrained clothes.
But no matter how much you guess, Zhang Yue dared not confirm it.
What is Yang Xiu easy to learn?
Sima Yi is the right way!
Therefore, even though he guessed the other party's possible background, Zhang Yue forced himself to hypnotize himself and pretended not to know anything.
His attitude towards this prince was also very clear - he did not take the initiative to cling to him, did not approach him deliberately, and would not treat him specially.
Welcome when you come, but don’t send it when you leave.
Love whoever you want!
Liu Jin thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said to Zhang Yue: "This time I happened to bring two retainers who are quite polite. If Brother Zhang doesn't dislike him, I can ask them to explain the court etiquette and the details of the face-to-face saint to Brother Zhang..."
Of course, Zhang Yue didn't refuse and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Wang..."
After thinking for a while, Liu Jin suddenly spoke and asked, "I have a question when I see Brother Zhang this time, I don't know if I should ask..."
His eyes looked a little trembling when he looked at Zhang Yue.
It seems that I hope Zhang Yue can nod, but I also hope that Zhang Yue will refuse.
Zhang Yue looked at his expression and felt a little suspicious, but he was not sure, so he said, "Brother Wang, please say..."
Liu Jin seemed to have vented all his strength, sighed, and then bowed and asked, "I often hear the wise and talented people around him, and they all said: The affairs of the state are due to wars outside and slandered ministers inside. If you marry the Xiongnu and cook Sang Hongyang, then the affairs of the world will be completed... Brother Zhang talked about the Xiongnu last time, and made the people suddenly enlightened... But what do you think of Sang Hongyang?"
As soon as he asked this question, the few followers behind him immediately widened their eyes.
Even Yuan Chang quietly raised his ears.
After Liu Jinze asked this question, he quietly clenched his fists.
War and Sang Hongyang were the two things his teachers said the most in his ears.
Even the teachers talked about Sang Hongyang, and spitted and cursed him more times than war.
In his teachers' mouths, Sang Hongyang, the chief lieutenant of this country, and the person in charge of salt and iron affairs, was simply a slander who had suffered from pus from the soles of his feet, a sore in his mouth and tongue, and even showed evil qualities since he was a child.
He manipulated salt and iron, exploited the people, ignored the national tradition, and listed the municipal government and competed for profit with the people.
It's really hateful!
More importantly, he also helped the evildoer and desperately supported the country to go to war.
The teachers said that he was happy when he heard the battle, and sang when he heard the victory.
He is simply the worst bad guy in the world. He is not enough to describe his evil words after exhausting all the words in the world.
He should be cooked immediately, so that most of the problems in the world can be solved.
In the past, Liu Jin believed these words very much.
Yes, teachers are gentlemen. Can gentlemen tell lies?
Besides, Sang Hongyang is indeed very bad!
Not only did he control the salt and iron affairs, but he was a dignified minister of the country, but he actually went to the market to hawk and thrown into the court. This person even distributed profit indicators to the salt and iron officials below.
Whoever fails to complete the task will get out!
His intentions are so sinister. No wonder God is furious. Natural disasters have continued in the past twenty years!
But now...
But he found that things didn't seem that simple.
Especially when he found out that his teachers had lied about the war, he had to speculate that they deceived himself on the issue of Sang Hongyang.
If this is true...
Liu Jin didn't even know how he would face the teachers he once respected and loved in the future.
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Sang Hongyang is an important official in the country. How can a poor person like me talk about it casually?"
"But... since it's a private discussion and Brother Wang asked about it, then I'll talk to Brother Wang about the issue of the national fiscal and taxation policy..." Zhang Yue stood up, looked at Liu Jin, and said softly.
Since the time travel, whether it is the original owner's memory or the Shilin discussions that Zhang Yue himself has heard.
Almost everyone is talking about one thing - when did Sang Hongyang be cooked??
In the consciousness of many people, it seems that as long as Sang Hongyang is cooked, the problems within the country can be solved!!
Whenever Zhang Yue thinks about this, he looks like a black question mark.
If there is a problem with the country, just kill a so-called slander???
Isn’t this the Donglin Party’s tone?
Let’s not talk about whether this person is a treacherous or not, just one question - if there is a problem with the country, it must be that there is something wrong with the system and policy. Can this be solved by killing a so-called slander?
Not to mention these people pushed Sang Hongyang to say that it was not raining, too much rain, locusts, plagues, and even earthquakes.
Speaking of which, the rhythm of "Please cook Sang Hongyang" was brought up by the Censor Bu Shi.
Who is Bushi?
A good old man, a person who has not read too many books, and has climbed to a high position by chance.
After Bu Shi died, many people began to follow the trend.
Cooking Sang Hongyang has even become a joke in the Han family.
So when a general led his troops back, he was very surprised to see Sang Hongyang jumping around in the court and thought that the other party had been cooked long ago.
But what did Sang Hongyang do wrong?
Of course I did something wrong!
The salt and iron yamen he presided over has great power and responsibility beyond your imagination.
In addition to controlling the salt and iron yamen, the chief lieutenant also shoulders the power of collecting commercial taxes, pacifying merchants, losing equally, quarantining farms, reselling alcohol, etc.
Sang Hongyang is responsible for the current Luntai military farming affairs and the border areas of Jiuyuan, Jiuquan and other places.
In order to make money, this businessman-born official was completely shameless.
He once brought all the officials who ruled the Su Duwei and openly sold goods in the nine cities of Chang'an.
Like a vendor, he sells products to the people.
He also used to crack down on illegal businessmen who were speculative and hoarded.
What's even more terrifying is that under his leadership, the official salt and iron products of the Han Dynasty once occupied more than 80% of the market share.
Many private salt merchants and private iron smelting workshop owners were defeated.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.
Sang Hongyang's actions were equivalent to killing countless parents.
Especially the big merchants in Qilu area, Shu County, and the salt and iron merchants in Yanzhao, they wanted to peel him off and get cramps!
However……
What will happen if Sang Hongyang is killed?
What will happen if the salt and iron monopoly is deposed?
Others don’t know, but Zhang Yue knows it very well!
That was a disaster!
Chapter completed!
