Yang Biao's more than 20 people are all you. Look at me. I look at you. I don't know how to explain to Liu He. Finally, they turn to Cui Jun and Xun Yu for help.

Cui lie, in particular, gives his son a look, but Cui Jun is also confused. He doesn't think about the mystery, which makes Cui lie worried.

Xunzi completely understood the meaning.

"Lord..."

He put down the bottle and stood up.

"Has the Lord ever calculated that these people account for several percent of the total number of officials in Luoyang and Sili district?"

Naturally, Liu he was not a fool. When he asked, he immediately understood what he meant.

"So what? Do you think that the law does not blame the public? "

Xun Yugong said: "Lord, these people account for about 70% of the ministers in the court. Among all the officials in the prefectures and counties of the whole Sili region, it accounted for nearly 60%

Zhong Yao added: "this is only a matter of officials, not officials. Even among the officials, those below 600 stones in the capital, and those at or below the county level in the local government are not very important in this plan because of their low position and low power. The criminals may not be able to confess all at once, but we can imagine that there are quite a few of them. If these people are included, I'm afraid that the wide range of people involved will be one of the biggest cases since the founding of Guangwu. "

"Once these ministers and forty-three family owners are killed in accordance with the law, and the Chen, Zheng and Wei families are implicated in nine ethnic groups, tens of thousands of people will be killed. In addition, because of this, countless people need to be dismissed, exiled, or sent to prison. "

"What do you mean? Are these thieves going to be pardoned for such a heinous crime? "

Cheng Liang stands up and waits for Zhong Yao angrily.

Zhu ye also stood next to him: "the third brother said it was right. These bastards, even if they were cut into thousands of pieces, were put to death in a hurry, which is also the kindness of the elder brother. If you intercede for them, you should not blame me for driving you out of the house with your own hands, regardless of the past

Two people such a shout, Yang Biao a few people some embarrassed rise.

Yang Biao, as the invisible leader among the people, had to stand up at this time.

"General, we are also thinking about the general and the stability of the court. If they were punished strictly in accordance with the law, more than 60% of the officials would be lost in the imperial court and all over Sili. In this way, the court system, not to mention disintegration, will be greatly reduced in operation. Central government orders will be difficult to issue, local tyrants will be rampant, taxes will not be collected, and there will be no official relief in case of disasters. Is it not necessary to have chaos

"I'm not afraid of that."

Ye Xiang also comes out and stands beside Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye.

"If you are an official, if you abuse your power for personal gain, do evil for disaster, or even collude with each other to plot rebellion, then this kind of official is not as good as being vacant."

His words let Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye listen, they all give him thumbs up.

"It is true what the generals have said, but they have made it simple."

Yang Biao said respectfully.

"This is not about these hundreds. Once all of them are put to death, on the one hand, many officials and families who have participated in but have not been deeply involved will probably flee for fear of accountability. Moreover, the rest of the families who did not participate in the marriage with them are likely to be scared away

"Second, the generals have always been unfriendly to aristocratic families. If so many families are severely punished this time, it is hard to guarantee that the scholars in the world will not have resentment and fear of the generals. There are a large number of vacant official posts in the imperial court, and there are no scholars coming to become officials. A single Sili and Bingzhou area will be in chaos. How can the general have the spare power to go out and recover the other states? "

Yang Biao's words are sincere. Obviously, it doesn't mean to excuse the traitor on purpose, but he really thinks from the heart.

Liu He looked at the other ministers.

"Do you all think so?"

Everyone stood up.

"We all agree with what the captain said."

Liu He nodded his head and said, "now that all the ministers will be destroyed, is it difficult for your brothers and nephews to fill these vacancies?"

"No

Yang Biao said decisively: "this incident involved more than 200 officials. Among our families, there are no less than 200 people who have not yet become officials. Some are too young, some are old, some are poor in character, some are devoted to learning and have no intention of official career. In a short time, there are only 70 or 80 people who can fill the vacancy. Moreover, most of them can only hold the posts below Qianshi, such as zhijinwu, shangshulang, Jiuqing and so on, and few of them are competent. "

"In this way, we only count the officials who are directly involved in this matter. If we include the people who I said will flee, the number of vacancies will be no less than 500. The gentry fled from the general to the vassals, which was very unfavorable to the general. Moreover, if the capital of the capital of the capital city falls into chaos because of no management, the consequences will be clear. Please think twice. "What he said is serious.

In the operation of a country and a court, officials at all levels must play a role. Large and small affairs, all need these officials to give advice, and then to carry out one by one. If 70% or 80% of the officials of the imperial court are dead or fleeing, the evil result of this disaster will be much more serious than a defeat.

Thinking of this, even Liu he had to start to think carefully.

Cui Jun and Xun Yu looked at each other, and then looked at Liu He's face. They both agreed to keep silent.

Liu He is beating the table top, brow is locked, also fell into a dilemma.

"I don't know how to deal with it in your opinion?"

Yang Biao, seeing that he seemed to be willing to accept his proposal, hastened to reply.

"In our humble opinion, Chen Ji is the first among Chen Ji, Zheng Tai and Wei Mei. Chen Ji can be cut off, whether the main family or the division of the Chen family, full house inspection, confiscation of property, male exile, women as military supplies. If the heads of Zheng and Wei were beheaded, all the officials in the government, regardless of whether their families were separated, would be removed. If they paid another 100 million yuan as atonement money, they would be exempted from the crime of the whole family. "

"As for the rest of the people who directly participated in the rebellion, they provided troops and food for the rebels. Those who contributed the most and those who did the most evil were severely punished. Most of the other generation were forced by three people. Although they were unfaithful to the imperial court and the general, they could be saved. The general can burn up all the correspondence between them and Chen, Zheng and Wei. Remove all the confessions made by the people in prison that involve these people and their families. "

"In this way, this generation will be grateful to the general, and will serve the general and the court wholeheartedly. Isn't it beautiful?"

As soon as he said this method, Liu he felt very familiar.

"Well? It seems that Cao Cao had done it after killing Yuan Shao in the original history. Cao Cao colluded with Yuan Shao in his own hands and many other officials in the imperial court. He pardoned all the ministers and families who were plotting to rebel against him. He burned their correspondence with Yuan Shao and pretended not to know it, so as to gain their loyalty. "

Liu He also has some ideas about this method.

"Big brother, don't listen to their nonsense. If we keep these people who are doing harm to the country and the people, they will only make trouble for us. I don't believe you can't find an official. With these guys behind us, how can we be more relaxed when we go out to war in the future

Cheng Liang tries his best to persuade Liu He, and Zhu ye and ye Xiang all talk together.

However, Liu he did not pay attention to them. He knocked on the table and pondered. Other people did not dare to disturb them.

"Ta Da Da... "

All of a sudden, the sound of knocking on the table stopped, and everyone focused their eyes on Liu He.

"It's a matter of great importance, and it's hard for Liu to make a choice at the moment. You are right, but the third brother is also right. Why don't you bother Ting Wei to continue to hear this case? Anyway, your Majesty was frightened that day, and he was bedridden for a while, so he couldn't go to court. How about if Liu could think about it carefully these days

People think about it, but only so.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to his house, including Cai Yong.

"Big brother, you..."

Cheng Liang several people also want to say something, Liu He directly waved to interrupt them.

"Let's not talk about it. Call Gong saner here. I have something to tell him."

"Gong san'er, OK, I'll go to him myself."

Zhu Ye has a good impression of the eunuch. Hearing that Liu he wants to find him, he runs to the palace in person.

Liu He narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, "how to deal with this matter in the palace, I can't let those ministers come here recklessly any more..."

On the other side, the big families are also planning the next step
