Facing the doubts and accusations from everyone, Wei Zhongliang looked calm.
"Liu Dachang is full of evil and unforgivable. That's just the world's view of him. It's just what the arrest warrants for Dayan and Daqian say."
"As to who Liu Dachang really is, would you like to ask everyone present, have you investigated it? Do you understand it?"
Liu Dachang is a human trafficker. Under normal circumstances, high-ranking members of the royal family, as well as civil and military officials, would never know such a person.
Last year, a coup took place in Dayan, eradicating the Ghost Pavilion of Daqian forces, which caused a sensation in the world. Later, Dayan issued a wanted order. In order to please Dayan, Daqian also began to eradicate the remnants of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and wanted Liu Dachang.
It is precisely because of this that all civil and military officials have heard about Liu Dachang.
Everyone knows that this person is full of evil!
All the information is indeed known from the wanted poster.
The second prince said coldly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
"Liu Dachang is not from Dakang at all. Why are we investigating him? Prime Minister, what do you mean by saying so much?"
Wei Zhongliang explained: "Everyone, please listen to me explain slowly. In fact, Liu Dachang is not a bad person."
"Besides, he is still a good person..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically!
Everyone in the world knows that Liu Dachang is an evil person, how could he be a good person?
And these words came from the mouth of a country’s prime minister!
This is so shocking!
The second prince was also so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. Which song was the prime minister singing?
All the civil and military officials present questioned Wei Zhongliang’s words!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what do you mean? A traitor and evil man wanted by two dynasties, and you actually said that he is not a bad person?"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have always respected you very much, but saying such words makes me very disappointed!"
"Two dynasties and two emperors personally issued arrest warrants. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Dachang is a sinner, but the prime minister says he is a good man. Mr. Prime Minister, we want to hear your explanation!"
All of a sudden, many people were besieging Wei Zhongliang.
Even the eldest prince and many people on Wei Zhongliang's side were full of suspicion.
I don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in the prime minister’s gourd.
Lu Yuanzhang's face was dark, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the Prime Minister at this moment.
"Prime Minister, you need to explain this matter to everyone."
"I also want to hear why this Liu Dachang is not a villain?"
The second prince watched the show from the sidelines to see what the prime minister could say.
Wei Zhongliang looked calm.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, you don't have to worry, and don't interrupt me. I will tell you slowly."
"Liu Dachang used to engage in some black industries, but in many countries, these industries are legal. For example, the Qinglou Branch of the three major dynasties are also legal and protected by the government."
"No matter what Liu Dachang does, he does business in Dayan and Daqian, without any loss to our Dakang. Furthermore, it is Dayan who completely demonized Liu Dachang!"
When Wei Zhongxian said this, he paused and glanced at His Majesty and the Second Prince with deep meaning.
"What I said is completely a fact. Moreover, some of our court officials have bought some women from Liu Dachang."
"There are also some high-ranking adults whose private lives are a bit messy. They often clean out buildings. I don't need to mention them, right?"
"And these women bought by adults have legal procedures."
These words are absolutely true.
His Majesty used to be the third prince. He and his second son often did this kind of thing, and many officials knew about it.
The two of them are almost in love with each other!
But after the third prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, for the sake of the royal family's face and for the sake of making his status more stable in the future, he would naturally not look for women from outside.
Besides, after becoming an emperor, he can take concubines openly and look for women from famous families. The children of those wealthy families are eager to send their daughters to the palace. The emperor will not be short of women at all.
Now that Lu Yuanzhang has become the emperor, the things he and the second prince did were all in the past. No one in the civil or military officials dared to bring it up, nor did they dare to discuss it in private, for fear that the walls would have ears.
But at this time, Wei Zhongliang actually mentioned it in front of all the civil and military officials.
This shocked everyone present.
The expressions of Lu Yuanzhang and the second prince changed.
Many things are a shame!
Although Wei Zhongliang did not mention his name, everyone knew it well.
It is true that some officials at the upper levels have experience in buying and selling women or young men.
Most of them are legal channels, but there are also some illegal channels.
Regardless of whether the branch hospitals in each city are blocked, etc., although they are completely reasonable and legal on the surface, they are doing some illegal things secretly.
No one refuted these words of Wei Zhongliang, because what he said was true.
The atmosphere in Chaoshang suddenly became very depressing, reaching freezing point.
Lu Yuanzhang said with a gloomy face, "Prime Minister, tell the important point! Don't say this useless information!"
The second prince snorted coldly in his heart.
Naturally, he could see that the Prime Minister said so much to clear Liu Dachang's name.
But by doing so, I offended many people.
Even offended His Majesty!
The second prince believes that no matter what the prime minister says, there is no way to clear Liu Dachang's name!
If you take ten thousand steps back, so what if you are cleared?
The recipe for black powder is in your own hands!
Wei Zhongliang continued: "There is one crucial point about whether Liu Dachang is a villain or not."
"Have you ever thought about why the Imperial Family of Dayan and the Royal Family of Dakang issued arrest warrants for the emperor? It was the emperor who personally ordered the arrest! He also notified all major cities across the country for a comprehensive arrest warrant!"
"Even if the first general of Dayan defected twenty years ago, it was not a wanted order issued by the emperor, right? A small human trafficker angered the emperors and courts of two dynasties. Think about it, what is it for?"
"How can this Liu Dachang be so virtuous and capable that he can have such an honor? Can he be deeply remembered by the emperors and courts of the two dynasties? Moreover, the wanted order has not been revoked for a long time, and a large number of people have even been sent to search for him!"
"Aren't you curious?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people had doubts in their hearts.
Even if he is a heinous villain, no matter how bad a person is, even if he is a traitor in the court, there will be a special department to deal with it.
It is indeed unreasonable for a small human trafficker to anger the almighty emperor.
Very unreasonable.
Soon someone expressed what they were thinking.
"Prime Minister, as far as I know, Liu Dachang is the vice president of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Yan Dynasty. The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce overthrew the Great Yan Dynasty and worked for the Ghost Pavilion. Therefore, after the Great Yan Dynasty destroyed the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, it wanted
In order to eradicate the fish that slipped through the net, the emperor personally issued a wanted order. This is reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
Another person said: "Yes, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce betrayed the imperial court and has been working for Da Gan. This is a shame for Dayan. That's why Emperor Dayan was furious and wanted Liu Dachang to be fully wanted!"
