Inside the Dexing Pavilion.
As Wu Nian's "imperial study", the decoration and furniture of Dexing Pavilion are simple yet exquisite.
Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Zhang Haiping, Wang Youxiao, and Chen Jiagui stood in two rows, waiting for Wu Nian's arrival, their expressions more or less solemn.
Liu Zhixing was even more worried.
"It's rare for you to come together. What happened?" Wu Nian walked in from the door. Although his heart was solemn, he asked with a smile.
As he spoke, he went straight to the throne and sat down, looking up at the five people.
The five of them looked at each other, and Li Yong stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty. Because your Majesty established the Han Kingdom and annexed Goguryeo, the situation in Liaodong became stable. It attracted many Han people who fled south to the Chu Kingdom and returned to live in Liaodong. .”
"I know this. Is this good or bad?" Wu Nian shook his head and said.
Although he is the "king of the family" and basically doesn't care about anything, he is not blind to what is happening outside the window and knows everything.
Mosquito legs are also meat.
The number of rich people, ordinary people, scholarly families, and generals who fled to Chu State was actually quite large. Liaodong has experienced more than ten years of war, and its population has declined instead of increasing.
Wu Nian also migrated many soldiers and their families to Goguryeo.
It is a good thing to expand the population and increase the number of Han people.
But when these people returned to Liaodong, they asked Tian Wenshe.
Wu Nian refuted all these people's requests. Although these people fled south to the Chu State and did not surrender to the Meng Yuan people, they did not lose their integrity.
But you were not there when we were defending our country, but now that we have won, you are back.
In this case, your fields and houses will be confiscated and distributed to the meritorious soldiers.
This makes sense.
There is no farm or house. Unless you communicate with the soldiers yourself and buy the land and houses through peaceful means.
Anyone who dares to insult my soldiers will be killed without mercy.
All in all, neither good nor bad.
But this matter has been determined. There is no need to alarm such a large array of cabinet ministers, chief inspectors, and chiefs of the Imperial City Department.
and.
Wu Nian looked at Liu Zhixing curiously, he was the chief assistant. He should be the first to report the matter. Why was it the turn of the second assistant Li Yong?
"Originally, it was neither good nor bad. But the spies from the Imperial City Division discovered that there were spies from the Chu State among them, allowing these people to communicate with each other. The network of relationships was very complicated. And there were officials involved in the case, so we came together to interview the king. "Li Yong nodded and said solemnly.
Wu Nian's face also became serious, and he said in an unpredictable tone: "I see. In the Battle of Liaodong, some of our bureaucrats did lose their ancestral property. Now they also want to get their ancestral property back. And they are also fighting with the Chu people. Contact? The scar is really healed, I forgot about the pain."
"That's what the so-called bureaucrats are like. If you don't be strict with them, they will be unscrupulous."
But after finishing speaking, Wu Nian laughed again and said: "It turns out that this is Chu State's plan. Such a shameless conspiracy was actually brought out. Chu State is already at the end of its rope."
There are as many bureaucrats as you want.
Very few people fled to Chu State. Although it is influential, as long as you hold the gun, your status will be as stable as Mount Tai.
And around him, not to mention brotherhood, there are also a large group of vested interest groups, that is, heroes and generals.
For example, this guy Zhao Yanting, whoever wants to overthrow the King of Han is his enemy.
The people of Chu State were hesitant to resort to such a stratagem.
But things still have to be dealt with. After Wu Nian thought for a while, he said to everyone: "The three departments of the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment will conduct a joint trial, with the Imperial City Department assisting. Catch everyone in one go."
"Divided into three types of people."
"One type is people who have no bad intentions and just want to return to their ancestral property. These people should occupy the majority. We will deprive them of all their slaves, gold and silver, and keep their books. Based on their heads, they will be given acres of land and exiled to Goguryeo."
"Don't they want fields? There are a lot of fields in Goguryeo. If a man gives them five acres of land, as long as they work hard, they can be self-sufficient and have plenty."
"There are few Han people in Goguryeo. Moving them there will also help assimilate Goguryeo, killing two birds with one stone."
"For the bureaucrats involved in this matter, they will be killed if they should be killed, and those who should not be killed will be sent to the army, and all their families will be moved to Goguryeo."
"Everyone who implements Chu's plan, or knows the plan, will be executed. Their homes will be ransacked. Their family members will not be appointed as officials and will be made slaves."
"Yes." Everyone responded with their hands in hand. But Liu Zhixing's reaction was half a beat too slow, and he looked even more worried. Wu Nian had an extra thought and let the other four people go down, leaving Chen Jiagui alone.
"Family noble. I see that the chief assistant is in a trance. Is there anything happening to him in this case? For example, his brothers and family members are involved in the case."
Wu Nian asked in a deep voice.
The functions of Chen Jiagui's Imperial City Division are somewhat similar to those of the Imperial Guard. Spying on foreign intelligence and hunting down the details of other countries at home.
But there is no power to supervise the officials, and no power to judge.
Chen Jiagui is very well-informed, but he still passively accepts some information.
Chen Jiagui immediately raised his hands and said, "Report to your Majesty. Mr. Liu has a serious teacher who seems to be involved in the case. But it is unclear to what extent he is involved in the case."
"Teacher?" Wu Nian's expression was stunned for a moment. He thought some of Liu Zhixing's family members or brothers were involved in the case, but he didn't expect it to be the teacher.
But soon Wu Nian realized that the teachers in this world were not the teachers in the previous life.
In the previous life, it was a school with strong iron and smooth teachers.
The relationship between teachers in this world is similar to that of father and son, and some are even closer than fathers.
Respect for teachers.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
Liu Zhixing's deviance was limited to his indifference to the imperial examination. From a certain perspective, Liu Zhixing was a very traditional scholar-official.
Talented, highly virtuous, calm and not extreme, nor aloof. Sitting in the position of Zaifu, he can handle conflicts between colleagues very well.
To put it simply, he is the prime minister, and he is the prime minister.
To say something embarrassing.
Wu Nian felt that even if he died suddenly and Wu Yu succeeded him, the country would be able to stabilize after a period of turmoil.
A man who is six feet away is sent a life a hundred miles away.
The minister of the country.
But if the country does not have Liu Zhixing, it will be difficult to manage.
Prime Minister.
Prime Minister.
Liu Zhixing’s teacher was involved in the case.
what can we do about it?
It's time to be tolerant.
Or should it be more severe?
If used permissively, will there be serious consequences?
If it were more severe, would Liu Zhixing be chilled?
After Wu Nian thought for a while, he felt his head hurt. It is really difficult to be a king since ancient times.
Even though he was hiding deep in the palace, he still couldn't escape.
This matter must be done beautifully.
