Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 761 The Emperor Plays His Cards Unreasonably
puff!

When the fire was blown on, a faint red light appeared, bringing a light to the dark space.

A few candles were lit, and the room gradually brightened.

Han Qu, head of the Han family, and Bai Liu, head of the Bai family, both kneeled on the ground with black cloths on their heads.

Quan Wanji and Zhao Mo walked in and sat around the table respectively.

"Pick them off."

"Yes."

The two soldiers took off Han and Bai, and put black cloths on their heads.

Opening his eyes, Han Qu saw Quan Wanji and Zhao Mo, who was arresting him, looking at him expressionlessly. He panicked, and hurriedly said, "Ming Gong, General, my Han family has been pure and good people for generations. Did you catch the wrong person?"

"Your name is Han Qu?"

"Yes."

"Originally from Luozhou?"

"Yes."

Quan Wanji put down the booklet, nodded and said, "You are the one who is arrested."

"Ah?" Han Qu asked in confusion, "What crime did the villain commit?"

"Is it a crime to come to Guzhou, occupy the fields of ordinary people, and bribe the county magistrate?" Quan Wanji said.

"I didn't, it wasn't me, Mr. Ming, don't talk nonsense!" Han Qu panicked in his heart, but he forced his composure on his face.

He can be sure that these two people are definitely from Chang'an, because no one can mobilize the army, let alone those troops still have hard crossbows in their hands.

"Heh." Quan Wanji sneered, looking at Bai Liu who was silent at the side, "And you, do you want to resist too?"

Bai Liu bit her lips tightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what Ming Gong said."

"Don't admit it?" Quan Wanji chuckled, "You should know that since I dare to arrest you directly, I have evidence. If you don't admit it now, when I find those people in exile in Luozhou, can you still lie? "

"They sold the fields themselves, and I didn't force them." Han channeled.

"It's just lure, not coercion?" Quan Wanji sneered, and narrated: "Dong Village, six families, you occupied their fields and beat their people, resulting in three deaths and six injuries. Yan Village, twelve families, A total of [-] mu of land, the third becomes Shangtian, and you share it with the Changshui county magistrate, and arrest the villagers for unwarranted crimes."

One by one, Quan Wanji uttered it from his mouth, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Facts have proved that as long as the imperial court wants to investigate one thing, eight generations of your ancestors can find it all for you.

Under Quan Wanji's narration, Han Qu and Bai Liu were in despair.

Guzhou Changshui is just one of the places, and what happened here is not a special case, because the censors have already started to dispatch in large numbers.

It is impossible to completely conceal such a large-scale action, and the matter quickly spread to Chang'an.

political affairs hall.

The emperor listened indifferently to Yang Gongren's report.

"Your Majesty, the imperial censors wantonly arrested local landlords in Gu, Shan, Luo, Zheng, Ru, Xu, Huai and other states, which has caused panic among the people. I am afraid that if this continues, the society will be unstable. Please recall the censor, but there are Important matters should be discussed by the ministers and then decided."

"Is it because the country is unstable, or is Xiang Yang feeling unstable?" Li Zhiyun tilted his head with a smile on his face.

It's just that smile, in Yang Gongren's view, was abnormally cold.

"Your Majesty has no such intention!" Yang Gongren bowed even more, and said, "If Your Majesty thinks that I am not available, I would like to resign!"

Threat?

Li Zhiyun chuckled, "Okay, Mr. Yang has worked so hard, I can't help but be sympathetic."

Yang Gongren: "???"

The other five phases: "!!!"

"Come on."

"The servant is here." Gao Liangzhong stepped forward.

Li Zhiyun said: "Pass down my will, allow Prime Minister Yang to resign, and confer the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, Sikong. The reward is five hundred taels, and one thousand pieces of silk and satin."

"According to the order."

After the emperor finished speaking, the six people were all dumbfounded.Shouldn't the emperor refuse such an obviously hypocritical resignation?
How did you agree so happily?
"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui hurriedly advised.

Wen Yanbo went out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yang has never had any second thoughts for the country and the people. Please think twice and take it back."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shuda, Xue Shou, and Li Jing also advised the emperor to think twice.

Li Zhiyun shook his head and looked at Yang Gongren who was already dumbfounded.

"I'm not thinking twice, I've already thought twice." Li Zhiyun glanced at Yang Gongren pityingly, and said, "Mr. Yang, you have to take care of yourself."

After speaking, the emperor left, and the remaining six people looked at each other in the political affairs hall.

Chen Shuda couldn't help asking: "Yang Xiang, what happened?"

He only knew that Luozhou and Zhengzhou had flooded into a large number of people, and the censor was ordered to investigate and arrest people in the Central Plains. Now nearly two thousand people have been imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, all of whom are local landlords and their families. State and county officials.

He originally thought that it was these state and county officials who treated the people badly, which caused a large number of people to flee around and the society was unstable.But judging from the attitude of the emperor, it is obvious that this is not the case.

Because this kind of thing happened, the responsibility lies with the local officials, so why would the political affairs hall be involved.

Unless, Yang Gongren intervened!
Yang Gongren himself was in a daze, he resigned, he just said it in passing.The general development trend is that you resign yourself, and then the emperor explains why you want to do this, and then discuss the solution.

Why didn't the emperor play his cards according to common sense this time.

Did something really happen?
"I, I, I don't know." Yang Gongren said in a daze.

Seeing this, Xue Shou couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, do you know why people from other prefectures and counties flock to Luozhou and Zhengzhou?"

"Because of the system of distributing the property to the mother?" Yang Gongren asked stupidly.

"Yes, but you think the other way around."

"Thinking the other way?"

Xue Shou explained: "A few days ago, His Majesty went on a tour in low clothes and arrived in Luozhou. He found that a large number of people had migrated. After investigation, it was found that there were a large number of families originally from Luozhou and Zhengzhou in the place where these people were originally located. They couldn't stand Luozhou. The systems of Zhengzhou and Zhengzhou moved away one after another, and colluded with officials in other states and counties to rob the people of their land, which has led to the evolution of this matter to this day."

"Ah?" Wen Yanbo was startled, and immediately asked strangely: "But why did His Majesty anger Prime Minister Yang over this matter?"

This is also what these people don't understand.

Is the system of apportionment into the mu good?
Needless to say, it must be good for the people.Therefore, they thought that the common people entered Luozhou and Zhengzhou because of the special systems of these two states.

But what Xue Shou said was the opposite.

People from other prefectures and counties were forced to enter Luozhou and Zhengzhou.

But the problem is, Yang Gongren didn't lead this by himself.

and many more!

Or, is this led by Yang Gongren?
"But what does this have to do with Yang Xiang?" Li Jing was puzzled.He is a warrior, and he has not been in the political affairs hall for a long time, so he doesn't know much about these things.

Du Ruhui said: "This case has involved several states, but His Majesty has not heard anything about it. It was not discovered until the inspection of Weifu. But in fact, the local officials have long been dismissed."

Having said that, everyone understands.

Someone intercepted the memorial without authorization!

The emperor thought this person was Yang Gongren.

Ever since, the five people looked at Yang Gongren one after another.

Yang Gongren's mind was buzzing. After he understood Du Ruhui's words, he frantically used his brain to think whether he had retained the memorial.

After much deliberation, I suddenly remembered one thing.

About last year, someone in the clan sent him a letter that people from Luozhou and Zhengzhou who had migrated to Hongnong sought asylum, hoping that he could take care of them.

At that time, he thought it was because the stalls had collapsed, and the people were fleeing Luozhou in all directions. He thought that he could suppress it, and when the incident happened, he persuaded the emperor to abolish this system.

But looking at it now, those who seek asylum are not ordinary people at all, but landlords!
