Chapter 700 The beginning of the filial piety and integrity system
Taichang Mansion, in the lobby.
Yang Biao, Zhang Zhen and other ministers were all sitting on their knees, with a cup of tea on each person's desk, looking very relaxed.
"Prices are soaring, and the national treasury has no extra money or food. This time, let's see what the king and the general do."
Zhang Zhen said with a sneer on his face.[
"Hey, what else can you do, just surrender."
One of the ministers laughed.
"There is no need to make him surrender. Just let us regain power. It is best to have some military power to protect ourselves. As long as the emperor does this, we will be the emperor's loyal ministers. We will work hard and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty."
A minister pretended to be serious and said.
"Hahaha, that's right. As long as we regain power, it doesn't matter if we become the emperor's lackey in name only."
Loud laughter rang out.
"Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, He Jin, the butcher, was in power, then Dong Zhuo stepped in, and finally Cao Cao. Now, the tide has finally turned and it's our turn, the scholar-bureaucrats, to take power."
Yang Biao also said with a smile on his face.
"Sir, it's not good. Something big happened in the city." But just as these scholar-bureaucrats were sitting quietly on the Diaoyutai, looking at the emperor Liu Xie and the king's general Liu Feng laughing, an old man suddenly rushed in and shouted
road.
This old man is Yang Biao's housekeeper and is very close to him. It is rare to see him so eager.
"What's wrong?" Yang Biao was shocked and asked.
"The emperor issued an edict and sent Gan Ning to block the city gate, and Wenpin to search for merchants. Many merchants were directly killed." The steward's face was covered with sweat at this moment. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat and said.
"What?" Yang Biao lost his voice.
"This is impossible." Zhang Zhen blurted out.
"It's true, it's absolutely true. There are large numbers of soldiers walking on the street. If they catch businessmen, they will be beheaded on the street. A large amount of money has entered the treasury." The steward said with a sad face.
"This is impossible, this is impossible. Although today's emperor is smart, he is also developing in the direction of Mingjun. He cannot be so rough. Killing businessmen to get money is something that Emperor Wu would do, but Wu
Is the emperor wise? He may have been extremely tyrannical in his treatment of foreigners, but the history books have mixed praise and praise. Today's emperor would never want to be Emperor Wu, it's impossible, it's impossible."
Yang Biao said in despair.
"A large amount of money poured into the national treasury, aren't we making wedding clothes for the emperor?" Zhang Zhen said with a dull look on his face.
They had calculated and calculated, but they never thought that the emperor would actually kill people directly. It was so brutal. How many businessmen would have to be killed before it could be calmed down.[
You know, in these troubled times, the apparent status of merchants may not have improved, but in fact, their status has improved a lot. Because all forces need merchants.
If a certain force is disliked by merchants all over the world, all kinds of materials of this force cannot be circulated. This is one of the reasons why they believe that the emperor will not easily kill merchants based on this theory.
But now the emperor has decided to send troops.
"Where did the order come from?" Yang Biao suddenly asked.
The look on his face was as if he wanted to eat someone, because Yang Biao was thinking of another person. A person who was easily ignored, but had a great influence on the emperor.
The king's great general, Liu Feng, can be seen from Liu Feng's fortune and his brutal breaking of some political rules, compromises, etc.
