Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 887
While Chen Zhi was kneeling in the living room, Su Shichang arrived in Anzhou.

government office.

"This is the information that Xiaguan and Wang Zuocheng found out not long ago." Yu Yongning handed over the paper filled with the list of bribed officials to Su Shichang.

When Su Shichang heard Wang Zuocheng, he immediately understood that His Majesty the Emperor had already sent people to investigate, and his group of people was just a cover, or it was a signal that it was about to end.He was also a little strange before. If he wanted to investigate thoroughly, it should be done quietly. How could His Majesty be so angry at the court meeting, attracting attention.

Sure enough, he was the bait.

Thinking of this, he nodded with a wry smile, took the list and checked it carefully.Looking at it, he almost didn't spit out the tea he just drank into his mouth.Good guy, there are dozens of officials involved in this, and many of them are even governors of a state, long history and so on.

No wonder Yu Yongning took it out so simply instead of arresting him himself. Who would dare to do such a pure offending job without the court's endorsement?

"Yu Shijun has really worked hard, and Wang Zuocheng has also worked hard."

"Don't dare." Yu Yongning clasped his fists together, and then sighed: "Actually, I have done it before. I was aware of it before, but I didn't dare to act rashly for a while, for fear that I would startle the snake and catch all these traitors in one go. I can only quietly go to your Majesty. .Fortunately, the sage is shining brightly, otherwise I would just attract and not send it out."

"You are doing the right thing." Su Shichang said: "This case involves so many officials, if you act rashly, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Yu Yongning said: "The meaning of the lower official is that you might as well follow the plan."

"Please elaborate."

"Yes." Yu Yongning said slowly: "In my opinion, there are so many officials involved in this case, and the court center, I am afraid that some people are also involved. Now that Su Shangshu has arrived in Anzhou, those officials who committed the crime may have already died. When I received the news, I was in constant panic and tried my best to hide what I had committed. Therefore, we might as well use our plan and call all the governors, long history and other important officials from dozens of surrounding states in Anzhou. To the outside world, It means that the imperial court must thoroughly investigate the illegal affairs of the merchants and merchants. Only in this way can they have a chance to control them all, and then wipe them all out."

Su Shichang stroked his beard and said, "It's a good idea, but who should I hand over those big families who committed crimes?"

"Su Shangshu don't worry, Wang Zuocheng has already gone to handle it."

"Hmm." Su Shichang tilted his head slightly and asked, "What does General Yuchi think?"

"I think it's good." Yu Chigong's voice came from outside.

General Yuchi?

Yu Yongning was startled for a moment, then his face changed.Immediately afterwards, he saw Yuchi Gong, a humanoid monster, carelessly walking in.

"Wu Guogong?"

"It's not me, who do you think it is?" Yu Chigong asked back with a smile.

Yu Yongning set off a stormy sea in his heart.

Yu Chigong is here, is the emperor going to kill someone?
Yu Yongning is not stupid, Yu Chigong is a big mountain in the army, the emperor is absolutely loyal, his minions are eagle dogs, the other party appears here, there is only one possibility, the emperor is going to kill people this time, and he will kill many people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't accepted bribes, Wang Gui might not have contacted him, but waited to see himself arrested by Yu Chigong.

"Are you afraid?" Yu Chigong walked over, sat down, and looked at Yu Yongning with a smile.It's just that this smile, in Yongning's eyes, is extraordinarily ferocious and bloody.He seemed to have seen countless Jiangnan clans being razed to the ground.

"Hehe." He laughed dryly and said, "Seeing General Yuchi made me feel confident."

"You'd better think so, little thing." Yu Chigong grinned, and said with a smirk: "Come along this way, does Yu Shishi know how many thieves have been caught?"

"How many?"

"Not many, just 730 people." Yu Chigong spat out a number that made Yu Yongning dizzy.

At first glance, the number of people seems to be small, but it must be understood that this is a peaceful and prosperous age.In the prosperous age, there are still hundreds of thieves. Doesn't this mean that I, the governor of Anzhou, have no eyesight and can't govern the place?

"The lower official is guilty." He said tremblingly.

Scared, really scared.

Even though he was born in Guanlong, he was just as scared.The current Guanlong people simply cannot compete with the emperor.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In order to support the Li family, the people of Guanlong had exhausted their energy to support them. They had no confidence to dare to fight against the emperor.

What's more, where did they get the strength to oppose the emperor!
The emperor suppressed the Guanlong people, don't they know?

No, they know everything, but they are suffering and cannot tell.

Today it is completely different from Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui did not treat the people as human beings, and he did not treat the people of Guanlong as human beings, which eventually caused chaos in the world and the people rebelled. This gave Guanlong the opportunity to rebel and change the world.

But today, he treats the people kindly everywhere, not to mention other places, which is the headquarters of Guanlong people, Guanzhong, but all the people in Guanzhong, who don't think of the emperor now, why are they rebelling!
Without the rebellion of the people, they can only rebel alone, but you must know that the current emperor has swept across the world, Turks, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, etc., and I don't know how many people died under the emperor's hands.Who is not loyal to the emperor in the army of the Tang Dynasty.All the generals of the empire died for the emperor.In this case, to rebel is to stick your head out for the emperor to chop off.

Win over courtiers?

Dream it!
Yu Yongning knew very well that the emperor used various brands to attract different aristocratic families in Guanzhong, Shandong, and the south.It can be said plainly that now the aristocratic families in various places are not of one mind, and what is split cannot be split again.

As for making good generals?

I dare not even dream about it.

The humerus generals under the emperor's hands, who is not the emperor's humerus, who doesn't have one or two cards in their hands, they want money and status now, whoever's head hit the wall, tied his head to the waistband and followed you to rebel ?

More importantly, the emperor did not learn from Sui Yangdi, who wanted to kill the Guanlong people, but learned from Yang Jian, who has been cutting flesh with soft knives for many years, and suppressed when he seized the opportunity, without thinking of beating him to death with a stick.Under such circumstances, with the already divided Guanlong family, no one is willing to stand up and die.

Yu Chi Gong waved his hand, "Don't worry, these people are not all thieves in Anzhou, you only have a few dozen people here, cooperate with the investigation, you have a chance to get His Majesty's forgiveness."

"Yes, I understand." Yu Yongning pursed his lips, suppressing the tension in his heart.

It's impossible not to be nervous, the Emperor Zhenguan controlled the empire too much, now it's not that there are fewer Guanlong people, but that Guanlong people are redundant!
He had heard a long time ago that since the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains began to lay concrete roads and popularize stalls into acres, the local people have spontaneously learned from the people in Guanzhong and regarded the emperor as a living saint. How can this be done?
Foreign slaves were used to replace the common people for hard labor, paved roads and bridges, opened rivers and canals, taught the common people farming techniques for free, popularized waterwheels, wooden threshing machines, popularized morning and evening rice, etc., which have already fed and clothed the common people.

In this way, the world has been stabilized.

The unimpeded traffic has also made commerce prosperous, and taxes such as salt tax and commercial tax have increased sharply. Coupled with foreign trade, the imperial court has been extremely rich. What is against the court?

Not to mention, those merchants in the north, all enjoying the convenience of the concrete road, have long regarded the emperor as their living ancestor.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, except for scholars, the emperor has the support of farmers, businessmen, and businessmen.Even the gentry themselves, many of them followed the emperor's lead.Because, those people have been with the emperor for a long time, and now their value has skyrocketed dozens of times.
