Chapter 0069: Dengwen Drumming (II)
Looking at Liu Hong's superb and admirable acting skills, Chen Ping almost didn't punch out!
Doesn't it mean that you can't punish the doctor, and you can't pay the common people?
Didn't it say that the old Liu family inherited the Zhou rites and ruled the country with etiquette, benevolence and filial piety?
How can a major national event be said so aggressively under the gaze of civilians?
Liu Hong didn't think too much, glanced at Chen Ping, then turned around, and said to the palace wall with a serious face: "Why do you beat the drum?" ”
"Do you know what the crime of hitting the drum for no reason should be?"
said this, but Liu Hong's heart was full of impatience!
The people under the walls of the palace were naturally trembling and listening to the hadiths. The servants (1) and the officials of various departments who hurried behind Liu Hong were obscured when they looked at Liu Hong's back.
Who can't hear the meaning of Liu Hong's words?
- If you have any grievances, just say it! I'm in charge of you!
"The prime minister is going to suffer..."
The whispering voice was interrupted by a slap in the eyes of Chen Ping, who turned his head, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but return to Liu Hong, standing silently.
Tian Lan wiped away her tears, and then arched her hand to the palace wall: "Your Majesty, the grass people are the sons of the Tian family in Changling, and they are Emperor Taizu Gao for four years, and their families moved to Changling." ”
"Before his death, his deceased father was kind and generous to his neighbors, and his relatives grew up in the family, and he was also praised by the township party."
"There are three or two acres of thin fields at home, and the grain and millet planted are sold for the livelihood of the family..."
Looking at Tian Lan's sad expression, Liu Hong couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Gaozu four years, hehehehe···
What kind of 'moving in' is simply the place where the leeks were cut and taken to Guanzhong!
Two or three acres of land, farming land and selling grain, in the final analysis, is it not a grain merchant?
"Sure enough, the pen-sharpening Spring and Autumn Period is not the patent of the literati."
Shaking his head with a light smile, Liu Hong pulled his mind back and continued to listen to Tian Lan complaining about the bitter water.
"How did you expect that the Anling Du clan wanted to make a profit by stockpiling grain, ignoring the people's suffering, and coercing his deceased father to raise the price of grain!"
"The deceased father was kind, and he couldn't bear the hardships of the people, so he refused; Then the Du clan set up an ambush on the way home of his deceased father, and killed his father's slave guards! ”
Saying that, Tian Lan's face became more and more bitter: "The deceased father was also in danger, and he was strangled to death by the Nadu clan and thrown into the Tianqu..."
He pointed to the two coffins behind him: "Grandmother also mourned the death of her son, and the thing died last night..."
"The grass people sued Du for his life, and Tingwei was also afraid of Du's might, saying that his deceased father was drunk and fell into the ditch and drowned..."
"Your Majesty!" Tian Lan cried and knelt forward two steps, her tone full of resentment: "In this cold winter, the water of the field canal is not as good as the knees of the grass people!" ”
"Your Majesty!!"
With a sad sound, Tian Lan kowtowed to the ground suddenly; The onlookers all looked at the palace wall with disbelief.
And beside Liu Hong, the timid officials were already trembling slightly.
Looking at all this, the corners of Liu Hong's mouth curled up in an arc that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Although it is still unclear what the origin of this Anling Du clan is, from Tian Lan's words alone, it is not difficult for Liu Hong to deduce that the Anling Du clan must have a lot of say among the grain merchants in Guanzhong.
-- Raising prices, especially in Guanzhong, the grain price of this small half of the Han Dynasty's territory, is so 'grandiose', ordinary small businessmen don't say they want to do it, they probably don't dare to think about it!
Thinking about the identity of the Tian family, the grain merchant, or the grain merchant who was forcibly relocated to Guanzhong for nearly 20 years, Liu Hong probably understood the inside story.
The Anling Du clan wanted to control the price of grain, but failed to get the support of the Tian family, who was also a grain merchant, so he killed the killer and directly killed the head of the Tian family.
It can also be seen from this that the Tian family may not be as anxious and righteous as Tian Lan said, and treat his neighbors well.
——It can pose a threat to Du's monopoly plan, and Tian's status in the Guanzhong business community must not be much lower!
And in these years, the person who has earned hundreds of millions of family properties cleanly, in addition to Liu Hong, who is the emperor, is there a second person?
Moreover, Liu Hong faintly felt that the name Tian Lan had appeared in the annals of history!
A person who can live as a businessman is almost impossible to be a good person.
However, what does this have to do with Liu Hong?
Liu Hong crossed over, but he didn't uphold justice!
Whether the Tian family is good or bad is not within Liu Hong's consideration at all.
What he has to think about now is what benefits he can get from the killing of Tian Lan's father.
Thinking about Chen Ping's attack on grain prices before, Liu Hong naturally linked Anling Du with Chen Ping - Anling Du is most likely Chen Ping's black glove!
Thinking of this, Liu Hong knew what he should do.
glanced meaningfully at Chen Ping beside him, and when he turned around, Liu Hong's face was already full of grief.
"The Imperial City of Mine is the cause of chaos..."
After a little brewing emotion, a tear slipped from the corner of Liu Hong's eyes, and his immature face looked extremely aggrieved.
Then under the witness of thousands of people outside the palace wall, Liu Hong turned around and cried silently to Chen Pingyi: "Dare to ask the prime minister to teach me, the country of Emperor Taizu Gao has been eroded to the point of evil?" ”
"Could it be that I am a thin deer, too one, and condemn my people?"
Seeing Liu Hong like this, the people watching outside the palace wall cried again, and the knees that had just risen straight from the frozen ground slammed down again.
"Your Majesty must not do this, this is not Your Majesty's fault!"
"Your Majesty, the people have nothing to repay, I hope Your Majesty will not mourn..."
The tsunami-like cry came again, Chen Ping didn't care about wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly knelt on the ground: "Minister, capital crime..."
Looking at Chen Ping, who couldn't afford to kowtow, the officials standing on the palace wall also knelt down: "Your Majesty don't mourn for the crime of this minister..."
Liu Hong raised his head, sighed like compassion, and immediately faced the palace wall, slowly arched his hand, and wept bitterly: "This is my sin!" ”
"I am guilty of sin, and there is no way to do it; All parties are guilty, and the sin is bowing! ”
"Shang Shuyun: The Son of Heaven is the parent of the people, and he thinks he is the king of the world."
"I am not sensitive, nor dare or forget..."
Extremely grief-stricken, he bowed deeply to the palace wall, Liu Hong exaggerated snort, then straightened up, and said loudly: "Today afternoon, open the warehouse of Shaofu, and all the people in Guanzhong can go by themselves with their household (2); All the millet of Shaofu can be bought, and the stone is eighty dollars! ”
After that, in the midst of the people's crying and bowing, Liu Hong lowered his head slightly and looked at Tian Lan under the palace wall.
"Xi, Emperor Taizu Gao entered the customs and made an agreement with the old man in the township in three chapters: the murderer dies, the wounded and the thief is punished!"
"I don't dare to violate Emperor Gao's ancestral system!"
As he spoke, Liu Hong turned sideways, but his volume did not decrease at all: "Tian's murder case, Ren Tingwei, Neishi, and Weiwei are miscellaneous!" ”
"The internal history is full of thieves and thieves, and the powerful and evil gentry in the customs are all guilty!"
The few people who were named raised their heads, looked at Chen Ping, who was still sticking his face to the ground, and then looked at Liu Hong, who was full of anger, and the people outside the palace wall who were looking forward to it, and could only bow again: "The ministers are respectfully obeying Your Majesty's edict..."
