Chapter 422;

This time, Lu Yaoyao made the move, but he didn't try to hide it deliberately, so it only takes a little investigation to know that she is the one who made the move.

With such a big commotion, Emperor Hongwen was still dealing with the Han family, but he didn't get angry, and followed her idea to take down the officials of the Han family.

Such a result still shocked many people, and at the same time they paid more attention to Princess Wanfu.

"This is no ordinary person."

"If the Han family provokes such a person, I'm afraid they won't have a good life in the future."

When Dong Zixiu talked about Princess Wanfu, his eyes were filled with fear.

At the same time, I'm very glad that I didn't turn against her because of my daughter-in-law. If I were to face her, facing such a character, the family might not try their best to protect him.

"Yes, but speaking of it, it's the Han family's own fault."

Dong Qingshu shook his head and sighed.

"The Han family is developing too fast and going too smoothly, so it's inevitable that it will be a little swollen."

It has been less than a hundred years since the rise of the first generation of the Han family. It has been going smoothly all the way. It is a typical nouveau riche.

Just because they want to replace the Dong family, they can open it, how inflated they are.

The Dong family, don't look like they don't have a command of the army, but if you really want to wield it, it's more terrifying than the royal family.

After all, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has experienced great turmoil and dynasties in the middle, and it still stands tall.

Isn't there such a sentence?
A thousand-year-old family, a century-old dynasty.

A family that can inherit and develop for so many years, which one is simple?

Half a month after the officials of the Han faction were captured, the patriarch of the Han clan came to the capital again.

The capture of so many Beijing officials from his own faction was not a big blow to the Han family.

You have to come here yourself.

As for letting the officials of the Han family from all over the country hang their seals and go away, that was just words used by their family to scare Emperor Hongwen.

It is absolutely impossible to really do it, those children of my own family can talk about it, but what about those who defected or recruited?

Why do people go to them?It's not just for the sake of Han's relationship, so as to seek benefits for himself.

Now that I haven't received much welfare, who would be willing to give up all my original benefits?

As for those who are recruited, they also use their benefits. If there is no benefit, people are willing to follow you?

Besides, leaving the hanging seal is tantamount to directly challenging Emperor Hongwen. Your Han family has great achievements, and Emperor Hongwen is afraid and dare not move.

But what about people outside the Han family?
Isn't it the same as playing for Emperor Hongwen to clean up?Will the Han family protect them at all costs?

If they are still useful, perhaps the Han family will still protect them, but they have already resigned from office, what benefits can they bring to the Han family?
The effort is not directly proportional to the return, so how could the Han family protect them at all costs?

"Why are you here so soon?"

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen frowned when he heard Wang De report to the head of the Han family to see him.

"Let him in."

Not long after, the patriarch of the Han clan came to the imperial study.

"The grass people have seen His Majesty."

At this time, the attitude of the patriarch of the Han clan is very humble, which is completely different from when Emperor Hongwen went to find them before.

This scene made Emperor Hongwen feel very comfortable.

Think about the past, when I needed help from the aristocratic family, their faces at that time.

Seeing the attitude of the patriarch of the Han clan today, it can be regarded as a fierce breath of anger.

"The patriarch of the Han family is exempt from courtesy, and will be given a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the patriarch of the Han clan sat down and the waiter served the tea, Emperor Hongwen asked, "Is the patriarch Han here for those criminals?"

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say that the grassroots never thought that they would do all these evil things."

"Hmph, speaking of this matter, I feel bad in my heart."

"Those bastards dare to act like this at the feet of the emperor. They don't take me seriously at all."

Emperor Hongwen was very angry.

Seeing him like this, Patriarch Han felt very bitter.

"Your Majesty calm down, not only you didn't expect it, but the grassroots also never dared to think about it."

"My Han family is what we are today because of our Dongzhou. Over the years, the Caomin have been teaching the children of the family, don't forget that everything we have is given by the royal family."

"However, as the family business increases and the population increases, it is inevitable that some moths will appear."

"Originally, the grassroots came to Beijing with shame, and felt deeply ashamed of His Majesty, but those are all grassroots clansmen, and the grassroots really had to come."

With that said, the patriarch Han stood up and bowed sincerely to Emperor Hongwen.

"Cao Min implores His Majesty to be lenient and spare their lives."

Emperor Hongwen didn't speak, just looked at him, and after a while, he said, "Han Patriarch, please get up quickly."

"Since the founding of Dongzhou, the Han family has made great contributions to the development of Dongzhou."

"I can understand what you said just now. To tell you the truth, I didn't actually plan to do anything to them at the beginning."

"It's just that the matter is too big, and there is nothing I can do about it. The will of the people cannot be violated."

What he said is not false. He really didn't intend to deal with it at first, but it was not because of the so-called development contribution, but because he was afraid of the Han family.

As for why he moved, he was absolutely right, and the will of the people cannot be violated.

It has spread all over the capital, and there are discussions in the streets and alleys every day. If there is no regulation, what is the majesty of the court and the royal family?
"His Majesty."

Emperor Hongwen directly interrupted his words.

"Patriarch Han, I understand how you feel, but I have asked the third division to review it, and it is still under investigation. I don't know exactly what happened."

"Now the people in the capital are very concerned about it. Even if I have the heart, it is powerless."

"You, don't worry too much. I will consider one or two as appropriate after the verification is clear."

Emperor Hongwen was worried about cleaning up those guys this time, but with the development, he became more and more calm.

Seeing the attitude of the patriarch Han now, his heart became even more stable like an old dog.

Open the door?What a joke, I finally made up my mind and got such a good opportunity.

Just one sentence from you is like making an exception, and it's too cheap.

Of course, if he said he wanted to kill, he didn't have to. It was mainly because of the patriarch Han's doing so.

However, the patriarch Han sighed and said nothing.

After saying a few more words, the patriarch Han stood up and said goodbye.

"This old guy is really insane."

In the conversation just now, although Emperor Hongwen has been saying that he has no power to do so and that the will of the people cannot be violated, it is actually just a hint.

Public opinion cannot be violated, but it is not impossible to change it.

Did the patriarch Han understand?That must have been understood, but he never let go.

"If people are gone, they can be cultivated again. The salt industry is their foundation. If there is less of this, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of their family. How can he let go so easily?"

Wang De said with a light smile.
