Hundreds of chamber of commerce representatives sat in front of the wine table.
When listening to what Wu Zhangyi said, everyone present was instantly in an uproar.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Mr. Wu, what's going on? Why is everything so good, but it's such a disaster?"
"Young Master Wu, let me be clear. Why is this such a catastrophe?"
"Although our donation is small, it won't be a disaster, right?"
"Yes, don't we need people to do the aftermath work? At worst, it's enough for me to donate more silver coins?"
The businessmen looked a little anxious. They were all businessmen, and each of them had a lot of wealth. Although profits were important, life was more important.
Who can remain calm when they hear about the danger of annihilation?
Listening to these chaotic sounds, Wu Zhangyi did not speak. He only spoke slowly after everyone gradually returned to quiet.
"Everyone."
"For this great summer disaster, we donated a total of 130,000 taels of silver. This matter must have angered the imperial court."
"But this matter really won't cause any big trouble. It's just a punishment for me."
"But the real reason is that during this great summer disaster, some people filled the cotton with thin cotton and some inferior medicines. Some people were even more audacious and sold the things donated by the people."
"That's the big problem."
"Otherwise, even if they donate 30,000 taels of silver, the court will have no way to accuse us. Whether we donate or not depends on our intentions, and we will just bear a little scolding."
"It's these things that matter."
Wu Zhangyi spoke, his face a little cold.
This summer disaster happened in Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County. Some people in Longxi County sold the people's donations, and some people in Donglin County sold expired medicines, causing some seriously injured soldiers to die. .
There are also people in Nanyue County who sell some thin cotton as solid cotton, and everyone is crazy.
This is the real disaster.
Otherwise, what can you say if you don’t donate enough? It’s just immoral, but businessmen don’t talk about ethics, just make money and that’s it.
But this kind of thing is no longer a violation of morality, but a violation of Daxia law. In addition, if the matter of donating money is investigated, it will be a big deal.
None of them can escape this disaster.
"hiss."
"Who has a brain problem? Do you want to do this kind of business? Are you crazy about making money?"
"What a beast."
"Does anyone do this kind of thing? I thought I was doing a good job in business, but I didn't expect there to be such a beast?"
"If you want to make money, don't make it like this. Isn't it killing people?"
"Master Wu, our Chimelong Chamber of Commerce has never done this before. Please learn from Master Wu."
"Yes, Mr. Wu, our Chamber of Commerce did not do this either. Mr. Wu, you are aware of this."
In an instant, the restaurant exploded. Everyone was shocked. They really didn't know what to say.
This is simply animal behavior.
Each chamber of commerce representative quickly spoke up, stating that they had not done so and would not do so.
On the main table.
Listening to the crowd's voices, Wu Zhangyi remained silent.
To be honest, he knew very well that even though these people scolded him so fiercely, it was not that they couldn't do it, but that they had no way out.
Furthermore, some people scolded them more fiercely, but they actually did it because they were just afraid of being scolded.
Wu Zhangyi understood that this group of people just saw that the Great Xia Dynasty was about to be destroyed by natural disasters, so they decided to make a fortune and make a fortune. However, they did not expect that the natural disasters did not come, but were solved by Gu Jinnian.
This was something they didn't expect.
"okay."
Wu Zhangyi's voice sounded, making everyone quiet down.
He looked at everyone present with cold eyes.
"Is now the time to talk about this?"
"What's the point of asking me to clarify? Will the imperial court believe you? Will the Xuan Deng Department, the Town Government Department, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War believe you?"
"Even if the Wu family believes in you, so what?"
"Is this something that the Wu family believes or doesn't believe now?"
Wu Zhangyi shouted angrily, his eyes extremely cold.
Feeling Wu Zhangyi's gaze, everyone fell silent one by one, because Wu Zhangyi was right, and it was really not a matter of explanation at the moment. The Wu family must believe them, but what's the use of believing?
The Great Xia Dynasty didn’t believe it, the Great Xia court didn’t believe it.
"Master Wu, please show us a way out. This is an unthinkable disaster."
"Yes, Mr. Wu, please show us a way out."
"Oh, who could have known that something like this would happen? Mr. Wu, please give me some advice."
Suddenly, everyone spoke one after another, hoping that Wu Zhangyi could give them some advice and give them some advice.
"okay."
Wu Zhangyi shook his head, and then looked at Chang Yuntian, his face became much gentler, and his eyes were full of respect.
The latter nodded.
Wu Zhangyi spoke immediately.
"Originally, my Wu family will definitely not care about this matter. This matter has nothing to do with the Wu family. But if it weren't for the good relationship between you and the Wu family over the years, the Wu family wouldn't be able to bear to see you like this.
"
"So, the Wu family invited Mr. Chang Yuntian to give you some guidance."
"In a word, if you want to survive, you must listen carefully to every word Mr. Chang says, and you must carry out everything he orders seriously."
"If anyone dares to violate the law, I, Wu Zhangyi, guarantee that his family will not be able to live in peace."
Wu Zhangyi said with a fierce expression, this matter is related to their lives and the lives of the Wu family.
Because the Wu family is also involved.
But he didn't say that, otherwise, as soon as this group of businessmen heard that the Wu family was involved, they would be like the same raccoon dog. They would turn around and lie down one by one, waiting for the Wu family to solve the matter.
After all, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it, so he must keep it a secret and put the pressure on them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will definitely listen to you."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Chang, you said, we will do it according to your wishes."
"Yes, Mr. Chang, if you ask, we will do it. No matter how much money or people you need, as long as you ask, we will do it right away."
Everyone spoke one after another and looked at Chang Yuntian saying this.
Feeling the passion of the crowd, Changyun Tian's face was very gentle. He looked at the crowd and said calmly.
"Everyone."
"Chang came here today just to solve this big trouble."
"It's actually not difficult to resolve this matter. The main thing is everyone's cooperation."
"Right now, Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County are busy dealing with the aftermath. This can be considered as buying you some time. If everyone works together, Chang can help you escape this disaster."
"But if someone doesn't listen to the elder, or speaks randomly, Mr. Wu just said that it will make his whole family uneasy, but the elder feels that what Mr. Wu said is inappropriate."
"The elder can guarantee that if you follow the elder's wishes, you may not be able to survive completely. But if you don't follow the elder's wishes, everyone here will be charged with killing everyone. It will be a misdemeanor, and there is a greater chance that the nine clans will be implicated.
Some."
"Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with me. Many of you here are not short of this money, but your servants, your relatives, friends, and your brothers and sisters may not be short of this money."
"Furthermore, as long as this matter involves you, even if it is done by your friends, combined with the donation of money in the past few days, the imperial court already hates you, seize this opportunity, dare to ask, should you let it go or not?
Let it go?"
Changyuntian spoke out.
He didn't tell them the plan, but sounded the alarm and reminded them of something.
Just now he saw that many people said that they had not done it.
Through his demeanor, tone, etc., he completely believed that these people were really right, but the question came, if he didn't do it, did his family, his subordinates, and his relatives and friends do it?
If it was done by a relative or friend, it would be okay, after all, it might not necessarily involve the nine clans involved.
Unfortunately, the court must be very angry about donating silver.
So it is found that there is a correlation, but the correlation is not big. Whether it is big or small depends on the previous performance.
Therefore, when Chang Yuntian said these words, everyone here immediately understood the stakes involved.
Don't think it's okay if you don't do it. If you die, we will all die together.
Indeed, when these words were said, some people wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and sat down directly. They really didn't do anything at all, but Chang Yuntian's words were not meant to scare people. As a businessman, he naturally understands the government's methods of doing things.
.
You didn't do it? If your brother did it, you die.
You didn't do it, but your friend did. I have reason to suspect that you did, and you die.
All in all, the hope of survival is really slim.
"I beg you, Mr. Chang."
"Guide us and others on the road."
"If this matter goes through, we will definitely treat Mr. Chang as our honored guest."
At this time, someone stood up and bowed to Changyuntian with an extremely serious and sincere expression.
Having said that, those who should be suppressed have also been suppressed, and those who should be reminded have been reminded. Chang Yuntian does not show off.
"You're welcome, Your Excellency."
"The purpose of coming here is for this matter."
Chang Yuntian smiled slightly.
Then he looked at the crowd and said.
"Everyone, listen to me."
"Right now, the imperial court is having a headache over the land of the three counties. It is also in urgent need of manpower and material resources. The most lacking thing is money."
"There is definitely not much money in the treasury, so."
Chang Yuntian spoke.
When I was talking about this, someone couldn't help but interrupt me.
"So we donate money to give the court a good impression. Is that what you mean?"
Some businessmen spoke up and proposed this logic.
For businessmen, what they care about is money, but similarly if a problem can be solved with money, they are willing to use money to solve it without spending a lot of money.
As soon as he said this, Chang Yuntian smiled slightly.
"May I ask how much your family fortune is?"
Chang Yuntian was curious and asked the other party.
As soon as these words came out, the latter fell silent for a moment, and Wu Zhangyi beside Chang Yuntian immediately spoke.
"Speak more directly and don't be secretive."
He spoke out and asked the other party to reveal his family property.
"Fourteen million taels of liquid silver. If it comes from houses, shops, fertile land, etc., it will be about 48 million taels."
"But this amount of money is nothing compared to everyone here. It's not worth mentioning."
The other party speaks, but can't show off, and still speaks in a low-key manner.
Forty-eight million taels, Chang Yuntian was not surprised at all, but still said with a gentle smile.
"Then I dare to ask, how much are you willing to donate?"
he asked.
"One million taels of silver."
"If I can save my life."
The other party said a shocking number, one million taels of silver.
This is indeed an exaggeration. For the imperial court, it is indeed an exaggeration.
"good."
"Just treat it as one million taels."
"You might as well make some assumptions for yourselves. If you are a member of the imperial court, a businessman, and you donate a million taels casually, how rich will this person be?"
Chang Yuntian did not directly express his thoughts, but asked them to think in their shoes. Only by letting them understand what situation they were in and what troubles they encountered could they implement the plan.
Otherwise, no matter how many people say it, they will always have a sense of luck, but there can be no luck in this matter. If they make a mistake, they will all die.
"Stop talking about tens of millions of taels of silver."
"I estimate that ten million taels of silver is not an exaggeration."
"Indeed, we know that Old Xu Liuyin has fourteen million taels of silver, but for ordinary people, if they casually take out one million taels of silver, they will subconsciously think that there are tens of millions, or even ten million taels, which is not an exaggeration.
"
"Well, just like two years ago, a rich man from Zhejiang came to Xiangsilou and threw two million taels on an courtesan. We all thought that his family fortune was at least tens of millions, and he was even the descendant of one of the five major chambers of commerce.
people."
"But he didn't expect that these two million taels of silver were his entire family fortune. It's normal for misunderstandings to arise."
Everyone spoke to each other and expressed their conjectures.
But this is also a fact. No one knows how much money there is. The only way to judge it is by spending.
If a person dares to throw away a million taels of silver casually, no one will believe you if you say he has ten million taels of silver. But if a person has nothing to lose and you say he has a hundred taels of silver, no one will believe it.
After getting a satisfactory answer.
Chang Yuntian continued to speak.
"Well."
"Your Excellency has donated one million taels of silver. The imperial court was immediately surprised. They may not find you right away. But I think you will donate a lot of silver in the future, at least it will not be less than one million taels of silver."
"You put a little bit together, I'll put a little bit together, and we can break the tens of millions."
"Do you think that the imperial court will be very happy when seeing these tens of millions and spare you?"
When Chang Yuntian said this, everyone gradually thought of something.
"There are tens of thousands of people, and the court won't let me go?"
"With so much donation, is it possible that we must be put to death?"
Some people are confused and think that donating so much money is not enough?
"I understand. The more money we donate, the more we expose our family wealth. If the court sees that we have so much money, they won't let me go."
After all, someone thought of this level, and suddenly understood what Chang Yuntian wanted to express.
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Because this statement is very correct.
Ten million taels of silver, if you take it out casually, what does it look like in the eyes of the court?
This is the fat sheep.
And they are a group of fat sheep.
"What you said is correct."
"If you really donated tens of millions of taels of silver to save yourself, I'm afraid the court originally wanted to conduct a secret investigation and collect evidence, but now it will kill you directly without even collecting evidence."
"I want to lay some charges at you casually and make you suffer. This is based on the fact that no evidence can be found. If we can collect any evidence, even a little evidence, and you are not dead, I will find it strange."
"Furthermore, is the imperial court short of ten million taels of silver? The one hundred thousand taels of silver needed for the disaster relief for the three major counties this time may not be enough. And in addition to relocation, how much silver will it cost to move the five oases?
"
"To put it bluntly, confiscating all your family properties will only solve half of the problem. At this moment, the Daxia court is extremely short of silver and will not let go of a penny."
"Why do you dare to donate silver at this time? And the amount is shocking?"
Chang Yuntian spoke.
Donating money is asking for death and bad luck.
Knowing that someone is in need, if you just wave your hand, isn't this just asking for trouble? Let's not talk about whether you have done anything wrong.
Even if it's true that it's not there, can someone check it out? If it's found out, it's true that it's not there. Report it back to the emperor and it will give you some reputation benefits.
If it does, then you can just wait to die.
What people want is not just a little bit of money, but everything you have.
Having said that.
Everyone was completely silent.
They completely understood.
"I dare to ask Mr. Chang, what should I do? It's impossible not to donate, right?"
"If you didn't donate before, you already attracted the attention of the court. If you don't donate again, won't you get yourself into trouble?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you donate, or if you don't donate, what should you do?"
"Please Mr. Chang, please clear up our doubts."
Everyone was completely numb this time. They really didn't know what to do. They couldn't advance or retreat. It was disappointing.
"donate."
"If you want to save yourself, you must donate."
"But the donation is not money."
"But new supplies."
Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and looked at everyone.
As soon as this was said, everyone was a little surprised, a little bit confused, but somewhat understanding.
"What do you need to open up wasteland in the five oases? Farm tools, cattle, etc., you can buy as much as you have. If there are iron mines or iron shops, then build as many as you can."
"Longxi County needs craftsmen, spend money to hire them."
"What Donglin County needs is food supplies. Buy them and deliver them."
"What Nanyue County needs is tents and quilts. Send them all."
"But I don't donate money, I only donate materials, and they are all good. I declared to the court that the money is indeed gone, but the things are there. All the shops and all the workers have been used."
"In this way, the imperial court will not be angry. But with these things, the imperial court will have to send troops to escort them and send craftsmen to deal with them. Then it will not be able to free up its hands to investigate what you are doing."
"During this period, we will go to major disaster areas and deal with what needs to be done. Some unstable people should be made to disappear. They must also be made to disappear."
"In this way, God will not know it, and ghosts will not notice it."
"This matter is settled."
Chang Yuntian said, this is his plan.
After saying this, everyone present stopped talking completely, and everyone was stunned and speechless.
This plan sounds really good.
Not donating money, but donating materials, so that the court can't use anything against him.
This works really well.
"Mr. Chang, isn't it a little bad to do this? After all, the court wants money. We donate materials. Firstly, it takes time. Secondly, will this make the court angry?"
Someone spoke, looked at Chang Yuntian and said this.
It’s not that I mean anything else. Although this plan sounds feasible, there is still something wrong with it after all.
"The imperial court has no time to be angry with the various positions now. Solving the trouble is what the imperial court has to do."
"Moreover, this material donation also has its own explanation."
Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and mentioned another key point.
"Is there an explanation? What is it?"
"What does Mr. Chang mean?"
They were curious and looked at the long sky.
"It also matters who you donate to. If this thing is donated directly to the court, you will definitely be worried. After all, the court is not stupid."
"But if it is donated to His Highness the King of Qin, what do you think?"
Chang Yuntian smiled slightly and mentioned a key figure.
His Highness the King of Qin!
They were not stupid. They knew what it meant in an instant and donated it to the King of Qin. For the King of Qin, this was a huge political achievement.
At the same time, it can be regarded as tying up the King of Qin. After all, it is impossible for the King of Qin to refuse to save him after inheriting such a great kindness.
This method is really good.
Completely solved the worries.
After all, whether the court investigates them depends on one thing, and that is whether anyone comes to investigate.
Who would dare to investigate if he knew he was from the King of Qin?
"Then why don't you go find the prince?"
Someone was curious and asked Chang Yuntian why he had not given such great achievements to the Prince of Daxia.
"You still haven't figured it out yet."
"The Crown Prince is now at the height of his power. The Crown Prince has handled the affairs of Longxi County well and has won the favor of His Majesty."
"Furthermore, in the Great Xia Dynasty, how many officials want to be attached to the prince? Although you all have great wealth, so what?"
"Does the prince like it?"
"The King of Qin is different. He wants to compete for the position of crown prince. This is something that everyone in the world can see. The delay in granting vassal status means that the King of Qin has such plans."
"For the prince, you are the icing on the cake, but if you risk it, the prince may not agree, and may even betray you directly."
"But for the King of Qin, you are a help in times of need. With such a force supporting him, the King of Qin will do his best to suppress this matter."
"More importantly, King Qin has a very good relationship with Gu Jinnian. The person you are most worried about in this whole matter should be Gu Jinnian. I believe you should understand what kind of temper he has."
Chang Yuntian reveals the core.
It made everyone suddenly realize.
Especially the last sentence, the King of Qin has a very good relationship with Gu Jinnian. In other words, if there is really a big trouble, the King of Qin still has a trump card. If Gu Jinnian comes forward, the worst possible outcome will be a fine and confiscation until death.
It was impossible for the Emperor of Daxia not to give Gu Jinnian face.
"This is a brilliant plan."
"It's really wonderful."
"I understand, I understand, now I completely understand."
"Support the King of Qin fully and hand over all the supplies to the King of Qin. In this way, we will clean up immediately. To say the least, we have been discovered. There is the King of Qin. To say the least, the court will seriously investigate. The King of Qin will find someone."
With a visit to Gu Jinnian, all these matters can be easily solved."
"High, really high."
"Hahahaha, Mr. Chang is really a great talent."
Everyone spoke one after another, and everyone was very happy.
"Mr. Great talent."
Wu Zhangyi spoke and thanked Chang Yuntian for clearing up everyone's doubts.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Mr. Chang, there is one more thing I want to ask you. A few days ago, several officials from the imperial court came to implement the New Deal and divide the people into acres. What should we do about this matter?"
Suddenly, as this voice sounded, everyone nodded.
To be honest, they initially thought that the purpose of gathering here was to discuss this matter.
Long before the Great Summer Disaster, the imperial court sent people to implement the New Deal, but due to some coordination reasons, it has been delayed until now, and it has not been implemented in detail.
But the court's attitude was so firm that they were distressed every day.
Once this plan is implemented successfully, it will have a huge impact on them.
"agree."
Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and answered directly.
"It's impossible to disagree with the imperial court's new policy, especially at this juncture."
"It's just that he's still the same as he was just now, and this achievement was given to him."
"Everyone, I'm here today to clear up your doubts. Chang also has a purpose. The imperial court promotes the New Deal. I have known about this for a long time. Once the New Deal is promoted, it will definitely bring huge benefits to the Great Xia Dynasty."
"It can be regarded as a political achievement, but it's just that if the elder wants to get it, someone will recommend him to the official position. Therefore, if the elder gets it, it can be regarded as stabilizing his position, and secondly, it will be convenient for him and others.
Communicate with Brother Wu to prevent anything from happening in the future and everyone finding out later."
Chang Yuntian spoke.
There is no reason to disagree with the imperial court's new policies. Even without these things, once the new policies are implemented, if the local people dare not cooperate, they will be dead ends.
But for such a great contribution, there is no limit to who can be given it.
Chang Yuntian now wants to obtain these political achievements. Once he obtains these political achievements, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.
After hearing this, everyone was a little silent.
They agree with Chang Yuntian's thoughts. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Chang Yuntian's willingness to offer advice must have some agenda. However, the imperial court's new policy really makes them uncomfortable.
So they were a little silent and reluctant.
Seeing everyone like this, Chang Yuntian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was full of disgust.
This is what businessmen are like. They are desperate for the first step, fearing that the knife will cut them off. Now that the trouble is solved, they will not let go of the profit of a little silver.
To put it bluntly, are they able to hinder this new policy?
These people are really greedy.
It's time to kill.
And kill them hard.
It's just that we really need this group of people now, otherwise, we don't care whether they live or die.
"The promotion of the New Deal is the intention of the imperial court. You are really greedy."
"Aren't you really afraid that the Xuan Deng Division's knife will fall?"
At this moment, Wu Zhangyi couldn't stand it. It was already at this time and he was still struggling with the new policy.
This is the meaning of the imperial court.
The imperial court has to do something, and if it is determined, will the people below dare to say anything?
You said that it is not impossible to obstruct for a period of time, but how long can it be obstructed? It is only half a year, but once you dare to obstruct, the court will find out that these businessmen are so disobedient.
Okay, wait until I have more time to deal with them one by one.
It's good to agree honestly. Everyone has money to earn. It's just that they earn less, but it's not that they don't allow them to earn.
Sure enough, as Wu Zhangyi opened his mouth, the merchants did not dare to be verbose anymore and expressed their stance one by one.
"Please Wu Shaomo, please don't be angry. We agree."
"We were just thinking about the last thing, the New Deal, so I naturally agree."
"Yes, yes, agree, agree."
Everyone spoke and did not dare to say anything more.
"all in all."
"This time, no matter what, I still hope that you can cooperate. I still say that if you cooperate well, nothing will happen and everyone can get through this disaster safely."
"If anyone has ulterior motives and I find out, or someone gets caught, and the whole family disappears, don't bring us any trouble. Whoever messes around will be the first to die."
"You should know the importance of the Wu family."
Wu Zhangyi opened his mouth. Although the matter had been made clear, he still had to say the harsh words that needed to be said.
"I'll understand later."
Everyone stood up and agreed one after another.
Just like that, Wu Zhangyi waved his hand and asked everyone to eat. However, after such an experience, few people had the intention to eat. They were just coping and pretending.
Wu Zhangyi also looked at Chang Yuntian, with a smile on his face, and asked him to leave.
The two of them went up a level and reached the uppermost private room in Wangjiangnan. Only he, Wu Zhangyi, could get up.
Arriving at the private room.
Wu Zhangyi let out a long breath and looked at Changyun Tiandao.
"Mr. Chang, can this really solve the Wu family's troubles?"
Wu Zhangyi spoke up.
There is some melancholy in the words.
During this Great Summer Disaster, the Wu family did some wrong things. Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County were all involved in these three things, but it was not the Wu family's intention, but his two younger brothers.
In order to prove myself, I took this opportunity to make a lot of money.
But I never thought that the Great Xia Dynasty solved the natural disaster so quickly.
Even if it takes a year to solve the natural disaster, the Wu family can slowly deal with the impact, but the natural disaster was solved in two months, and the goods are still in the three major disaster areas.
So the Wu family had to panic and be worried.
Once this matter is exposed, everyone in the Wu family is afraid that no one will be able to escape the disaster.
It is difficult for the country to make money.
And he also killed soldiers.
This is no small crime, and it would not be too much to punish the nine tribes.
"Brother Wu, don't worry."
"As long as I firmly grasp the straw of King Qin and at the same time stabilize my foundation in the court, coupled with the power of the Wu family, big things can be reduced to small things."
Chang Yuntian opened his mouth, full of confidence.
The latter did not show any joy, but sighed.
"Actually, what I'm most worried about is Gu Jinnian. Fortunately, he is currently in seclusion and enlightenment. If Gu Jinnian really finds out about this matter, it will be a big trouble."
Wu Zhangyi spoke out, this was his biggest worry.
"So we must hold on to King Qin tightly. King Qin has a very good relationship with Gu Jinnian, and how could Gu Jinnian find out about this? If he really found out, King Qin would stop him immediately. If Gu Jinnian doesn't betray King Qin's face, he will have a falling out with King Qin.
"
"If we really fall out, King Qin will not give up the support of so many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan because of Gu Jinnian. This power should not be underestimated for King Qin. It is one of the biggest sources of confidence for King Qin to fight with the prince."
"When the time comes, King Qin will definitely try his best to resolve this matter."
"No more! King Qin really becomes ruthless. It is reasonable to kill anyone who has done something wrong. At least it will not affect the entire Wu family. At that time, the relationship between King Qin and Gu Jinnian will inevitably break up."
Chang Yuntian spoke out, this was his idea.
After hearing this, Wu Zhangyi nodded, he fully agreed.
"But what if the King of Qin ignores us?"
Wu Zhangyi asked curiously.
Mentioning this, Chang Yuntian smiled slightly. He stood on the top of the building and looked at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, which was full of prosperity.
"Tomorrow, you will know whether King Qin will agree."
Chang Yuntian did not explain, but asked Wu Zhangyi to wait until tomorrow.
in this way.
In the blink of an eye.
The next day came.
The Great Summer Disaster is still the hottest topic at the moment, but the fact that Prime Minister Li Shan was executed by everyone in his family has also spread to all counties and governments. For a while, the topic is as hot as the Great Summer Disaster.
It is no small thing for a dignified prime minister to be imprisoned.
However, Li Shan's crime aroused the scorn of countless people.
It's just that some powerful people from aristocratic families know that this matter is definitely not that simple.
As for Daxia Kyoto, they knew that Li Shan had been arrested early, so the people in Daxia Kyoto have been discussing this matter.
I thought this matter would be the hottest topic in recent days, but I didn't expect that a new piece of news would make Daxia Kyoto excited.
At the Yushitai, twelve great Confucians jointly presented a memorial, criticizing the King of Qin for sacrificing tens of thousands of people in vain for the sake of political achievements, regardless of the officers and soldiers.
This incident directly caused an uproar in the Daxia court.
The King of Qin went to Donglin County to provide disaster relief. Now that the disaster situation has been settled, although it was entirely due to Gu Jinnian, the King of Qin had no credit but hard work.
What I never expected was that now that I was being impeached, twelve great scholars from the Yushitai came forward in person. This was no small matter.
Twelve great scholars came forward in person, and Emperor Yongsheng had to deal with the matter immediately.
Not only twelve great scholars came forward, but soon the Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of War all received more or less evidence of guilt.
Regarding the evidence of King Qin's crimes, there are oral testimonies from the soldiers and the testimonies from the common people. The general meaning is that the King of Qin acted radically and did not care about the safety of the people or the life and death of the soldiers.
In order to save one person, hundreds of soldiers rushed to death, but no one was rescued. Only three of the hundreds of soldiers escaped with extensive burns all over their bodies, but the King of Qin did not care, even because of the problem of rescuing the wounded.
Afraid of affecting the morale of the military and the speed of rescue, we simply ignored it and left it to fend for itself.
Secondly, King Qin's own soldiers and brothers were handling matters in the logistics, while Tianyu's army went to die, and some medicines were also taken away by King Qin's guards. Tianyu's army had to queue up, and even if they were seriously injured, they still had to wait.
Because of this incident, some soldiers died in vain and missed the best treatment.
Furthermore, when a mountain fire broke out and some people wanted to flee Donglin County, they were stopped by the King of Qin. He was so overbearing that he did not allow the people to leave Donglin County, regardless of whether they were hungry or not, and whether they had food to eat.
He even said personally that he would die in Donglin County, which was such a treasonous and unethical statement.
And the most terrifying thing is that all the above-mentioned things have human witnesses and physical evidence, which can be regarded as irrefutable evidence.
However, if there is no such ironclad evidence, how can the twelve great scholars in Yushitai dare to impeach a prince?
A prince?
At this moment.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Yongsheng looked at the evidence piled in front of him, his face was cold, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.
It is absolutely impossible to forge these criminal evidences. No matter whether they are signed or named, they will be reviewed at all levels and finally submitted. If someone dares to forge, let alone the impeachment of the King of Qin. Even if it is a forgery, it will be clear after calling the person for a confrontation.
.
Moreover, as the father of King Qin, how could Emperor Yongsheng not know the character of his son?
He has followed himself since he was a child, and then followed the Duke of Zhen. He has been working in the military camp since he was seven or eight years old. He has a fierce personality and is radical in his actions. Such a person is very much like himself.
He has every reason to believe that these are true.
For meritorious service.
For political achievements.
To want to be emperor.
These are all reasons for his belief.
boom!
The next moment, Emperor Yongsheng slapped the jade case and almost roared.
"Preach my will."
"I will escort the King of Qin to Kyoto, and let Dali Temple, Xuan Deng Division, Yushitai, and Zongren Mansion personally review the case."
"If the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it will be dealt with strictly and not tolerated."
Emperor Yongsheng roared angrily.
As an emperor, what he cares about most is reputation. If his son has done such a thing, if these are true.
He will definitely not let go of his son.
This is simply unbecoming of a human being.
But wait until the anger is gone.
Emperor Yongsheng took another deep breath and looked at Wei Xiandao beside him.
"Immediately investigate secretly, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites, where did they get these evidences, and the Yushitai, where did they get the evidence."
"Let's secretly investigate whether these things are true."
"I want to know everything within twelve hours."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
He was angry. After all, the Twelve Great Confucians of Yushitai personally impeached him. This matter would inevitably spread, which would be extremely bad for the reputation of the royal family.
But as an emperor, how could he not see other things.
Why was King Qin Hao Duan Duan impeached?
There are so many criminal evidences, why not just give them to the Ministry of Punishments directly? So many forces know about them? And they can all be produced?
Is there a prince behind this?
Or is there someone else behind this?
But considering all the above.
What Emperor Yongsheng knew was that someone wanted to target King Qin.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that what King Qin did was so cruel that it caused such public resentment.
He had little hope of this possibility.
What he hopes more is that someone wants to target King Qin.
That's all.
He didn't want his son to do such evil things for the sake of the throne.
This is the last bottom line and the last requirement for a parent to have on his or her son.
You don't need to be talented, just have a good conscience.
in this way.
After the news spread in the court.
For a moment, this incident seemed like a ball of sparks falling into a weed pile.
Spread instantly.
In less than half a day, the entire Daxia Dynasty was discussing this matter.
