"Too much bullying! This Qin Yun is just a Zhennan King who was granted the title of Qiongzhou. How dare he challenge my Yuan family?"
In the Yuan family ancestral hall, a group of elderly people gathered together to discuss the new tax system issued by the imperial court.
"First Elder, please calm down. Qin Yun never follows the rules. He asked Qin Maocai to kill my Yuan family's children. He just wanted to establish his authority for us, so as to anger us and make us do some crazy things!"
"That's right, Qin Yun has some skills in the army, so he thinks that just killing people can solve the problem. As everyone knows, soft knives only hurt."
"In my old opinion, take someone to make amends and apologize! Regardless of whether he accepts it or not, my Yuan family has shown an attitude. If he goes against us again in the future, then the world will see that it is not my Yuan family who disobeys the king's order. It’s the imperial court that doesn’t give us a way to survive!”
"As for the new tax system, it's quite simple. Send an order to those families who have children to come to their homes to claim their fields, and then ask them to report the news of failed harvests."
"The big deal is, if we send some of our sons to do corvee labor, we can also say that Qin Yun violated the holy will and imposed taxes, which led to the destruction of Tongzhou people's families and their families, and there are many complaints. When the time comes, we can mobilize the connections in the court and read his book together to see what happens to him again." What can be done?”
"Be afraid, be afraid. This is the emperor's will. Now that the Xiao family has been wiped out, my Yuan family should keep a low profile."
"The Xiao family is blatantly taking the initiative to rebel. Our Yuan family has always been law-abiding. His emperor dared to destroy the Xiao family because the Xiao family broke the rules and no family in the world took action. But he dared to touch my Yuan family, Jiangnan, Dong Those big clans in this area can’t sit still.”
"This Great Xia belongs not only to his Qin family, but also to all my major families. Anyone who breaks the rules will be attacked by a group of people!"
"You're right! This is how we'll handle this matter. We've given you face, but Qin Yun won't be able to give him face!"
"By the way, there is one more thing, and that is about the King of Tongzhou. Over the years, we have been encroaching on the King of Tongzhou step by step. Although it has become the norm in all parts of Daxia, it is not easy to live up to the face after all. Hand over some of the clansmen, and in Xinji The King of Tongzhou went to the ceremony to plead guilty, the family has raised them for so long, it’s time for them to contribute to the family!”
…
Following the decision of a group of elders, some members of the Yuan family were taken to the Yamen of Tongzhou Prefecture. These people were all those who had committed crimes in the past.
Signs detailing the charges were placed on each one, and all the people in Tongzhou Prefecture spontaneously poured into the entrance of the yamen, calling His Highness Prince Liang Daqingtian.
It made Qin Yun feel like he had been punched in cotton.
He knew that the long-standing survival strategy of such a large clan was to have many people, make multiple bets, and abandon some members of the clan at any time.
That's why there are sayings like a thousand-year-old family and a century-old dynasty.
For this kind of opponent, Qin Yun had to give a thumbs up. Especially when he learned that the Yuan family had begun to take the initiative to divide the fields, Li Ji was even more depressed.
"Your Highness, the young master of the Yuan family, Yuan Shaoqing has brought a group of clan members to plead guilty to Your Highness, and is kneeling outside the Yamen."
Qin Maocai walked in, and Qin Yun asked, "What is Yuan Shaoqing's personality like?"
"Back to Your Highness, this man is gentle, elegant, well-rounded, and willing to do good. He is the facade that the Yuan family has put great effort into packaging. Almost all the heirs of the great families in this world seem to be carved from the same mold. Judging from their appearance and past deeds, Can’t find anything wrong with it at all!”
Qin Yun was startled. At best, nine people could take the throne. What about the children of the aristocratic family? Hundreds, thousands, thousands, fighting for one?
At this moment, Qin Yun suddenly no longer resented the hardships on the road to becoming the heir. As a royal family, it was inevitable that there would be mixed successes.
But big clans are different. They do not inherit the inheritance from their fathers, but from their ancestors. Although there are also direct concubines, concubines can also work hard to spread the branches and leaves of the family, and even split off to open a new one full of liveliness and vitality. big family.
It goes on and on like this, so intricate, so terrifying!
The Xiao family is destroyed? But what about those clan members who have long since separated from the Xiao family and even changed their surnames?
At this moment, Qin Yun had already seen what Emperor Xia had been facing all day long while sitting in that position.
Maybe the ancients were not stupid, and maybe someone had already seen through the law of historical cycles, but the gears of history are rolling forward, who can not be crushed?
Qin Yun took a deep breath and put away the wonderful fantasy of creating a unified world.
Daxia has its own trajectory. All he can do is to integrate into Daxia itself and be a prince or what an emperor should do. As for future generations, leave it to future generations.
After figuring out the joints, Qin Yun smiled.
"Let's go and meet this leader of the family!"
Qin Yun put his hands behind his hands, and Qin Maocai followed him with a bow. Along the way, everyone around him was prostrate on the ground to support their majesty.
"Caomin Yuan Shaoqing, pay homage to His Highness Prince Liang!"
Qin Yun took a closer look and saw that this person was about the same age as him. He was beautiful and impeccable in appearance. Even his tone of voice, movements of raising his hands, and eyes looked as if he had been refined countless times.
"This man has a great heart!"
Qin Yun gave this evaluation.
"Flat body!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun said: "Young Master Yuan, I don't know why you came here today?"
Yuan Shaoqing also looked at this prince with great military exploits. According to speculations from the Yuan family's internal discussions, he is likely to become the next Emperor of Xia.
Yes, most people in the Yuan family think so. That's why they choose to sacrifice one person, but this is not a friendship or pandering, but an attitude.
Moreover, it is an extremely tough attitude. The Yuan family can be ministers, but they will not be humiliated!
"Your Highness, the common people are here to apologize for the Yuan family's children offending Your Highness yesterday!"
"There are one hundred thousand taels of silver and three thousand pieces of silk here. Please accept them, Your Highness!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Young Master Yuan, you don't think that this king is here to rob you, do you?"
Yuan Shaoqing said without being humble or arrogant: "This is a tribute from the ministers and the sincerity of the Yuan family. Your Highness should know that when the family is big, there will always be some people with bad behavior. Now, the grassroots have taken all the clan members who participated in this matter to Your Highness." In front of you, let your Highness do whatever you want!"
"As for the bet that Tongzhou Prince's Palace lost back then, it is naturally written off. Our Yuan family is still willing to repair Tongzhou Prince's Palace."
Qin Yun looked at Yuan Shaoqing, what does it mean to have no temper, this is having no temper.
There is no need for you to threaten or raise your hands high, they have given me everything.
Even Qin Maocai, a sufferer, didn't know what to say.
But Qin Yun knew that they were giving him eye drops!
Seeing Qin Yun say nothing, Yuan Shaoqing also sneered slightly in his heart. It seemed that the Yuan family had lost their clan members, their land, and their money.
But he will get more in the end. In his opinion, a prince like Qin Yun, who is famous for his military exploits, only likes face. Doesn't he hope to gain this face by standing up for the Tongzhou Palace?
It's just a matter of face, given to him by the Yuan family!
But what Yuan Shaoqing didn't expect was that Qin Yun wouldn't take this issue at all.
"Young Master Yuan, I am willing to admit defeat. It is a matter of course. The mistakes made by King Tongzhou when he was young have now received the punishment they deserve. As for the kindness of the Yuan family, I appreciate it, but please take it back!"
"The king will not spare you this little money and cloth!"
There was a slight wave in the corner of Yuan Shaoqing's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Your Highness is so upright and upright, the common people will take him back now!"
"Wait!"
Just when Yuan Shaoqing was about to leave, Qin Yun stopped him.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Qin Yun's lips quivered: "Young Master Yuan, why don't we make a bet!"
Yuan Shaoqing became interested: "I don't know what the prince wants. As long as our Yuan family can give it to me, even if it is the head on my head, your highness can take it at any time!"
Qin Yun: "I am not interested in your head!"
"Then what do you want to bet on, Your Highness?"
Qin Yun: "Believe it or not, I have made your Yuan family lose completely, both in business and in terms of people's hearts! Go back and tell you old people from the Yuan family that I will not accept your tricks."
"The imperial court's new tax system, the Yuan family will take the lead honestly. I will remember you for your contribution. If the Yuan family tries to play tricks, I will have a hundred ways to make the Yuan family cornered!"
Yuan Shaoqing's face was calm and he cupped his hands: "You will definitely bring what Your Highness said, and say goodbye!"
After Yuan Shaoqing left, Qin Maocai said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, this person is too difficult to deal with!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Then defeat him in his own way."
"Publish the news that the Yuan family has surrendered to the king and is willing to take the lead in implementing the new tax system. Their division of land is proof."
Qin Maocai was stunned: "Ah?"
"Go!"
