retaliate

Chapter 1549

After the rebellion of the powerful families in Guanzhong was suppressed, it was very quiet for a while.Those powerful families have huge fields, population, and countless businesses.

They fell, and the vacant business shares were snatched up, so the business community praised Xindi very much.If the new emperor hadn't said that a wealthy merchant would have no country, probably the merchants would enshrine him as the God of Wealth and burn incense three times a day.

The court hall is now a brand-new structure. After the new emperor went to conquer Shu, the prince supervised the country.The prince is young, mainly assisted by Liu Qing and others.

Liu Qing and the others are old ministers of the new emperor, so there is no doubt about their loyalty.Someone was about to make a move, but the new emperor was so strong that it took a long time before anyone tried it.

The man went to the memorial and said that people in Guanzhong are now in panic, and they are worried that the emperor will continue to punish them cruelly.

There was a lot of uproar about this melody, which attracted the attention of many people.Everyone is watching how the prince and Liu Qing will respond.

If the attitude is kind, then the memorials will swarm into the palace next.The purpose is only one, to loosen the tyranny of the powerful families in Guanzhong.

Many powerful families in Guanzhong were suppressed by the new emperor, and the rest, not to mention lingering, were dormant, not daring to stand out.This temptation, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was instigated by someone.

It is said that Luo Cai was furious during the court meeting, saying that this was an unprovoked incident.The emperor just collects taxes, collects taxes, collects taxes!Plus check out non-compliant slaves!

Important things to say three times.

What the emperor did was irreproachable, and no one could find an excuse to attack.

Therefore, the court council decided to reprimand this person.Some courtiers even said that this person should be dismissed, but the prince put it aside.

However, there are also rumors that the prince tried to ease the conflict with the powerful families in Guanzhong, but was immediately denied by the palace.Immediately Liu Qing sneered in front of dozens of officials when he was in the council, saying that these rumors were intended to drive a wedge between His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and wait until His Majesty returns to see how those people die.

When the queen in the palace had a tea party with a group of noble ladies, she also mentioned this matter calmly: "A son will not change his father's will."

……

In the middle of winter, there are fewer business travelers outside Chang'an City.

There is a long pavilion outside the city, which is used for business travelers to rest their feet.But later it was used more as a farewell.

"Aye, you have to eat less when you go home, at least you can lose your belly."

Ma Xi accompanied his father Ma Hongzhong out of Chang'an City, it was very cold, Ma Hongzhong rubbed his hands, and said angrily: "You, Aye, will grow fat if you don't eat or drink."

"It's a problem with the spleen and stomach." Ma Xi said.

"My son has learned a lot from the Imperial College." Ma Hongzhong was very pleased. Seeing that there were people selling food in the pavilion, and there was a wine cover hanging outside, he couldn't help feeling hungry, "Let's go, let's try Chang'an too." Ren Changting said goodbye."

These words were clearly intended to cover up his gluttony.

Ma Xi smiled wryly but still followed.

"Guest officer." The man who built a small stall in the pavilion cupped his hands with a smile, "It's warm here."

Ma Hongzhong deliberately asked: "What if the old man doesn't eat? Maybe sit down and warm up?"

"Naturally it can."

The man said with a grin.

Ma Xi sighed, "Aye, you are dressed so richly, and there are several guards behind you. Others will know that you are not short of money, so why bother to be coaxed!"

"The mouth of a businessman is a deceitful ghost. Father knows." Ma Hongzhong sat down, stretched out his hand to grill on the charcoal fire, glanced at the food, "get some mutton, yes, put it on the charcoal fire and eat it warm... What drink?"

"The strong wine from the north is said to be brewed by His Majesty himself. Take a sip today, and a hot line will flow from your mouth to your stomach. It will be warm!" The man said as he opened the wine seal, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed out. .

"Have a pot... that's all, half a pot." Under his son's contemptuous eyes, Ma Hongzhong resolutely chose to reduce the dose.

"Good Le!"

A jar of mutton was placed on the charcoal fire, half a jug of spirits, and two wine glasses.

"Da Lang also has a sip." Ma Hongzhong poured a glass of wine for his son, "At any rate, I have to learn how to socialize in the future."

"Aye, I'll come." Ma Xi wanted to snatch the flagon, but Ma Hongzhong avoided him, "You are my son, I'm afraid I won't see you for a few months after I go as a father, I love you anyway."

The father and son toasted, and Ma Hongzhong said, "Is the Imperial College saying that you can't be an official after you come out?"

"Yes... ah!" After taking a sip of the spirits, Ma Xi opened his mouth, feeling uncomfortably hot.

"Drink the soup quickly." Ma Hongzhong scooped up the soup for his son with a smirk.

After taking a sip of the soup, Ma Xi still felt uncomfortable in his chest and abdomen. He ate a piece of mutton and said, "After Xuanxue returned to the Imperial College, there are rumors that His Majesty has confessed that this school, which will be an official when it comes out, cannot be opened in the future..."

"Why?" Ma Hongzhong was puzzled, "They are all talents!"

"Someone has said that for a long time, but Your Majesty said that as long as there are good places, most of them will eventually become the domain of meat eaters. Ah Ye, think about it, the former Imperial College, there are so many noble children!"

"That's right, it can be seen that His Majesty is wise." Ma Hong flattered the emperor absent-mindedly, "By the way, I heard that His Majesty has broken Tongcheng on the way this time when I come here?"

Ma Hongzhong came to Chang'an to visit his son and talk to people about something.Today's business is done, and I'm ready to go home.

"Hmm! Metaphysics has long known about it."

Metaphysics has many people following the expedition this time, so the news transmission is extremely well-informed.

"Tell me about it for my father." Ma Hongzhong ate a piece of mutton, took a sip of wine, and praised: "Good wine, just washed it down."

"That's right!" the man smiled.

Holding the wine glass, Ma Hongzhong didn't want to drink, but under his father's watchful eyes, he held his breath and drank a little, and quickly swallowed the soup.

"Your Majesty marched all the way into Shu, and when he arrived at Tongcheng, His Majesty put on armor and personally attacked the city..."

"Ah!" Ma Hongzhong drank a glass of wine, "Your Majesty attacked the city himself?"

"It was a letter from a brother I know well. His Majesty personally attacked the city and defeated the defenders in one fell swoop. Many people cheered for long live..."

"Sure enough, the country was won on horseback." At this moment, Ma Hongzhong felt that he was right to choose to obey the emperor, and then remembered that these were all thanks to his son, so his eyes became kinder, and he poured another glass of wine for his son, watching him suffer face, said with a smile: "A man must be able to endure hardship!"

"Your Majesty fought all the way to the palace of the false emperor, and Huang Chunhui, the former Northern Xinjiang envoy, blocked the gate..."

"Huang Chunhui has shown His Majesty the grace to support and support him, and this is the end of all hardships." Ma Hongzhong said enviously.

"Aye, you wouldn't believe it. His Majesty stood outside the palace gate and shouted to open the gate. All the defenders surrendered."

"Tsk! This is due to majesty."

"False Emperor and his son are stubbornly resisting in the hall. When His Majesty enters, he will go straight to that... Li Yuan."

"The Supreme Emperor... Pooh! It's Li Yuan!" Ma Hongzhong poohed.

"Then what did Li Yuan shout... I betrayed my elder brother, but I became an emperor, but my elder brother became a ghost, and there was no punishment from heaven. At this moment, Your Majesty drew his sword..."

"Okay!" The man didn't care about the business anymore... In fact, Ma Hongzhong and his son were the two customers at the moment, and they squatted by the side to listen, flicking the charcoal fire with the tongs.

A string of sparks exploded from the charcoal fire, illuminating Ma Xi's young face, "Li Yuan didn't expect His Majesty to do it himself, he was frightened, and called me your uncle! I would like to atone for my sins. Your Majesty asked him, who are you going to ask?" Redemption? Li Yuan said brother, but His Majesty said, wrong, you should make redemption to the people of the world. Then Li Yuanxiao was decapitated with one blow!"

"happy!"

Ma Hongzhong's blood boiled when he heard this, and he toasted to do it.

"Happy kindness and hatred!" The man was so excited that he almost overturned the clay pot with tongs.

"Hey! By the way, how did your senior brother know?" Ma Hongzhong asked, dodging the flying sparks.

"Senior brother was behind His Majesty at the time, beware of people around the false emperor making moves."

"That's right, it is said that there are quite a lot of good fighters around the false emperor, why no one stepped in to stop him?" Ma Hongzhong was very curious.

"It's unbelievable to say that this matter was mentioned in the first letter of the senior brother. It was quite vague when it was mentioned, and it was made clear in the second letter on the way back to the teacher. Just when His Majesty was about to make a move, Zhao Sanfu on the Jingtai suddenly made a move. It turned out to be a killer. became the bodyguard of the false emperor."

"Tsk! The dog raised by the false emperor has turned against him."

"Han Shishitou, who is next to the false emperor, is said to have a good cultivation base, but when the false emperor called for help, Han Shitou turned against him and controlled the false emperor."

"Hey! Then Han Shitou claims to be the most loyal to the false emperor in the world!"

Ma Hongzhong was surprised, "Why?"

"I don't know, but senior brother said that looking at Han Shitou and His Majesty should be old acquaintances."

"This is the betrayal of relatives, and it is destined in the dark!" Ma Hongzhong said with emotion.

"Aye, stop drinking." Ma Xi snatched the wine jug, shook it, and found that there was no wine in it.

Ma Hongzhong stood up proudly, "Most of the land at home has been sold, and the rest is for my father to hire some people to cultivate, not for profit, but for the family to chew.

But the family can't just sit and eat, because my father came here because he wanted to do business with others.I wanted to get [-] yuan, but I didn't expect His Majesty's attack on Shu to be so smooth, which shows that people feel at ease.Once the hearts of the people think of peace, the world is not far from great order.So, it is a good opportunity to do business.Walk. "

"Where?"

"Enter the city!"

"Aye, aren't you going home?"

"What you said made Wei father find a business opportunity. How can 15 yuan be enough, [-] yuan!"

"Aye, you are not afraid of losing your family fortune!"

"If it is difficult for Your Majesty to attack the land of Shu, the world will still be in chaos for a while. But this time the crusade against the false emperor went smoothly, which shows that the people are in support. Dalang, the prosperous age is coming. You should study hard and do business for your father. I will accumulate wealth for you..."

The father and son entered Chang'an City again, and several messengers entered together.

The messenger went all the way into the imperial city, begging to see Liu Qing.

"Liu Xiang, His Majesty's handwriting."

Liu Qing took the emperor's handwriting, read it carefully, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty said that you should be back before the great court meeting, so let me wait to prepare."

The prince also got the news, and immediately called the important ministers to discuss the matter.

"Aye is less than two hundred miles away from Chang'an. Aye told me that the court meeting will be as usual. However, this year's court meeting, Aye said that there will be more people."

"May I ask Your Highness, who is there?"

"Pseudo-emperor!"
