"Your Majesty, please hurry up for the eight hundred miles north!"
"What?" When Emperor Yu heard the word "Northern Territory", his expression suddenly changed. Could it be that there was another trouble on the border? "What happened in the Northern Territory?"
"Your Majesty, the Hu family has colluded with Mobei and has been conducting private business with it for many years, secretly transporting grain and salt to the northern grasslands in exchange for weapons and armor!"
"After the Jin Yiwei found out about the matter, they asked Duke Jing to send troops, ransacked the Hu family, seized a dragon chair, three dragon robes, more than a thousand armors, and more than ten thousand ordnance."
"The evidence of his crime has been transmitted to the capital by his subordinates."
As he spoke, the scout took out a letter wrapped in layers from his arms, handed it to Wei Ying, and then presented it to Emperor Yu.
"Hu family?"
"You mean the Hu family?"
"Asshole!"
Emperor Yu's complexion has darkened to the color of coal. What does the Lu family's rebellion have to do with the Hu family?
This kid actually dares to level two of the four prominent families in one fell swoop?
"His Majesty!"
Wei Ying presented a stack of confidential documents between the Hu family and Mobei. Emperor Yu only glanced at them a few times, and suddenly his face turned livid, and veins popped up on his forehead. He was obviously really angry.
"Good kill!"
"The Hu family has been quarreling with others. I, Dayu, have been sworn enemies with Mobei for hundreds of years. We, the Central Plains, have been fighting with the barbarians from all directions for more than a thousand years. But now, the Hu family dares to risk the disapproval of the world and have an affair with a foreign race."
"His heart is to be killed!"
Emperor Yu suddenly slapped the table and stood up, handed the letter in his hand to Wei Ying who was standing aside, and said coldly: "Let all the adults take a look, I, Dayu, belong to a distinguished family!"
"It's really ridiculous."
Seeing Emperor Yu's furious expression, no one dared to offer any words to persuade him. Lin Qiushi, Shen Li and others each received a few secret letters, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
"Your Majesty, the Lu family's rebellion and the Hu family's collaboration with the enemy have all been brought to justice."
"But the Lu and Hu families are, after all, the four most prominent families of my Dayu. They are very prestigious among the families. I suggest that these secret messages be made public to the public, so that the world will condemn them."
Shen Li was the first to express his stance, but Lin Qiushi on the side froze and said softly: "Mr. Shen, although the Lu family is guilty of treason and deserves death, after all, they are the successors to my great achievements, Dayu, and now they have ransacked their homes and tried to kill them. How about leaving them some good reputation?"
"Pure reputation?" Shen Li sneered and said lightly: "The Lu family's rebellion is disloyal, disregarding the common people, starting an army to cause chaos, it is unkind, receiving the emperor's favor in this life, but not thinking about serving the country, it is unrighteous, betraying the ancestors , To rebel against the country is to be unfilial.”
"What kind of reputation can such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust person have?"
Lin Qiushi was speechless by Shen Li. He did not expect that this old master, who had always been gentle and kind, would show his sharpness at this time.
"What about the Hu family?"
"Hu family?"
"snort!"
"It started out as a group of horse bandits. They have been entrenched in the northern border all year round and are connected with mountain bandits. They have no reputation at all."
"The so-called four famous families are nothing more than a joke."
Shen Li looked at Emperor Yu, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I once again invite you to hold the imperial examination to gather the talents from all over the world for the country and the country."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Hearing Shen Li speak, people such as Chen Qinghe, Xie Xingxian, Ji Sui and others came out to ask for orders. Emperor Yu thought for a moment, looked around, took in everyone's expressions, and said softly: "Huainan's imperial examination system has not yet been established." Once implemented, this matter will be discussed later.”
"Okay, let's retreat first!"
"Kong Ming, come with me."
"yes!"
Zhuge Liang silently followed Emperor Yu out of the Zhengde Hall, while Wei Ying followed the two of them from a distance all the way to the Imperial Garden.
"Kong Ming, you have also seen that there is resistance in the court now. If I want to hold the imperial examination, I have a long way to go!"
"His Majesty!"
A gentle smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face, and he said calmly: "It is a matter of time to implement the imperial examination sooner or later. The most urgent task is to seize the opportunity to conquer Changyan and Beihe counties while the Lu family and Hu family are in ambush."
"These two counties are located in Jiangbei, but they belong to Jiangdong. They border Donghuai in the east and are rich in products. The resources left by the Lu family are rich. Your Majesty can control the right to speak in Jiangbei as long as he sends people to conquer these two counties. "
"As for targeting the aristocratic families in the world, His Highness King Yong has already predicted it."
"oh?"
"tell me the story!"
"Suppress some, support some, and win over others!"
"Now that the Hu family and the Lu family have been destroyed, the resources of the two families will inevitably be eliminated by other aristocratic families. At this time, if the imperial court gets involved and indirectly controls the aristocratic families in Jiangdong and makes them speak for the imperial court, no matter whether it is to implement the New Deal , or reforming to become stronger, it’s all a great help.”
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded in agreement, then smiled and said: "The second brother gave me a surprise this time. He destroyed the Lu and Hu families. From now on, no one in my family, Dayu, can control the imperial court."
"This move is a great achievement!"
…
Changyan, Lu Mansion.
In the treasury, the sunlight refracted in, and a golden luster instantly filled the entire warehouse.
"Your Highness!"
"The Lu family's treasury is spread all over the world, and this is just one of them."
"There are countless rare treasures, gold, silver and jewels!"
Jiang Wei's pupils were reflected in the golden strips, and Ning Fan was also distracted for a moment, and then said sadly: "These are just gold and silver belongings!"
"You know, the Lu family made their fortune from food!"
"hehe!"
"The people in the surrounding areas have difficulty in having enough food and clothing, and the food in the Lujia warehouse is moldy!"
"It's really funny!"
After just one glance, Ning Fan lost the desire to continue reading. The Lu family's problems did not occur overnight. Before Dayu founded the country, the Lu family was already a first-rate and famous family at that time.
However, the Lu family was relatively lucky. They were on the right team at the time. Therefore, not only was the family power not liquidated, it actually became more prosperous.
It is in line with that sentence, an iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty.
However, his butcher knife was indeed sharp enough, and he killed a lot of people and got a mountain of gold and silver in exchange.
"Jiang Wei!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Jin Yiwei, it's time for a change."
Ning Fan glanced at him meaningfully, but Jiang Yu trembled all over. He lowered his head and carefully observed his lord's expression: "What do you mean, lord?"
"Troubled times are important. Therefore, the Jin Yiwei has the privilege to control life and death. But now, the peaceful age is coming."
"You don't understand the principle that if it is too strong, it will break easily, right?"
"Understand!"
Jiang Wei took a deep breath and slightly cupped his hands: "I know what to do."
"Um!"
"Escort the Lu family back to Beijing with the necessary personnel and hand them over to the three divisions for trial."
"No matter how the court handles it, Jinyiwei is not allowed to interfere. Leave this blame to my father and let him have a headache!"
"Now that the four parties are stable, we have to return to our hometown in Huainan and continue to embark on the road to become a great power!"
