"This matter can be discussed later, let's retreat." Liu Hong waved his hand and said, listening to the officials in the court, he was really not interested.

After the rebellion of the Qiang people, the treasury was empty again, and the wealth originally accumulated was spent out because of the war, which was also the most important thing for the Han Emperor.

Selling with the position of an official in the court, the Han Emperor can be regarded as having tasted the sweetness, and the wealth of the family is obvious to all, but at this time, the Han Emperor does not dare to blatantly attack the family.

Most of the officials in the court and China are from the family, if they arouse the mood of resistance, it is not good, the truth of this, the Han Emperor can still see clearly, this is also the reason why Liu Hong acquiesced to the fight between the eunuchs and the officials, regardless of the balance of the power in the hands of the family officials, the Han Emperor can better control the court.

After the officials of the court and China shouted long live, the Han Emperor got up and left.

It was commonplace for such things to happen in the court, especially in the way the Han Emperor handled things.

As for what kind of argument this matter will be in the end, it depends on the game of all parties.

Although Emperor Han said that he was not mediocre when he amassed a lot of money, after years of tempering in court and politics, he became more and more shrewd, and the careful thinking of officials and eunuchs could not hide it from him.

It's just that in some things, even as an emperor, you need to make compromises.

"Tell me about what happened in the DPRK today." Emperor Han set his eyes on Zhang Rang, who was respectful on the side.

Zhang Rang said: "Holy Lord, in the opinion of the old servant, I am afraid that there is no such simplicity behind this matter, Yuan Peng, who is the ruling Jinwu, is a member of the Yuan family, why did he stand up and speak for the Captain of Changshan?" ”

Emperor Han nodded slightly, and he still agreed with Zhang Rang's statement.

"Not only that, but the old servant learned that Changshan Duwei was greedy, and there were thousands of acres of fertile land alone, and there were countless people's fat and ointment that he had collected for many years." Zhang Rang said in a low voice.

Emperor Han's eyes narrowed slightly, the treasury was empty, not because the Han Dynasty was barren, but the money went to the hands of the family, looking at the Han family, which one was not so rich that it flowed oil, but at the critical moment of the imperial court, these officials actually cried poor, so the Han Emperor did not have the slightest good impression of the greedy officials.

"Is this true?" Emperor Han asked.

Zhao Zhong stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, the old slave has evidence in his hands. ”

Emperor Han showed a smile, "Okay, don't alarm the officials in the court and China for the time being, the Yuan family is not an easy person." ”

"The old slave understands." Zhao Zhong saluted.

The matter of Yuan Lu, the governor of Changshan, was brought up in the court, and it still caused a lot of turmoil among the officials, mainly because this matter was mentioned by Huangfu Song, and the people of the Yuan family stood up to defend Yuan Peng, and the matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.

Huangfu Song has no official position, and although he has influence among the generals in the army, it is limited, but the Yuan family is different.

Zhao Yun, who poked this incident out, was leisurely in Luoyang City, wandering on the streets all day long, and lingering more in the blacksmith shops in the city.

The status of craftsmen in this era is low, but Zhao Yun understands how important these craftsmen will be after the real arrival of the troubled times.

Recruit more talents in advance, and there will be more foundation.

For several days in a row, in and out of the blacksmith shop, there was not much gain, these blacksmith shops, basically for the common people, they created things, most of the things that the people needed to cultivate, forging the blade of the blacksmith, but there are very few.

Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the control of the blade is extremely strict, otherwise, there will be fights in the city from time to time, wouldn't it be chaotic.

The matter about the DPRK and China reached Zhao Yun's ears, and there was news from Fengyue Tower, and Zhao Yun had a lot of understanding of the situation in Luoyang City.

At present, the affairs of the DPRK and China mention the violation of law and discipline by the Governor of Changshan, and do not say that the Governor of Changshan was corrupt and took bribes, which is also a means of Zhao Yun.

Greed is very common among the officials of the Han Dynasty, and even the official position is clearly marked, what else is impossible.

Officials spend a lot of money to get promoted, and the first thing they have to do when they take office is to get back the money they have spent, otherwise they will lose a lot.

Such a concept has gradually taken shape among officials, especially those who spend money.

The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a large number of talents, which cannot be denied, but the really talented people, if they want to be recognized by others, it is not easy to talk about, the family does not say that they control the government, it is almost the same, if you want to enter the court seriously, you must get the recognition of the family, without the recommendation of the family, everything is a fantasy.

The background is too poor, and the possibility of becoming an official is slim.

The family that has lasted for hundreds of years is intertwined with power, and some secret connections are difficult to know even if they are the same family, and there are also fights between the families.

With limited resources, if you want to make the family stronger, you have to make a move on other families, but the battle between the families is clever, and it is carried out in secret, not known to ordinary people.

After wandering outside the city for a few days, Zhao Yun also had a better understanding of the prosperity of Luoyang City.

Three days later, news came from the DPRK that Yuan Peng, the governor of Changshan, had been dismissed, his family assets had been confiscated, and all of them had been confiscated into the state treasury.

When this news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the way the Han Emperor handled things this time was very different from the past, and he gave such an order neatly.

Even if it was Huangfu Song, who stood up to play the imperial court, he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and the determination of the imperial court on this matter can be seen from the holy decree.

On the day when the imperial court issued the order, Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, came to Zhao Yun's residence.

Zhao Yun was the Taishou of Zhao County, and he did not get an order to go to Luoyang City, which was against the system, but Zhao Yun came for the matter of Changshan Duwei, and Zhao Yun had meritorious service in fighting the Qiang people, and if he came to Luoyang, it would be forgivable, and no one would touch his head in this matter.

The last time Zhao Yun came to Luoyang and had a conflict with Yuan Shu, it was not a secret among the family, even such a behemoth as the Yuan family, Zhao Yun dared to offend, not to mention others.

Originally, many officials thought that after offending the Yuan family, Zhao Yun would definitely not be able to live for a long time, but now Zhao Yun is still alive and well, and Zhao Yun's merits on the battlefield have been praised by the Han Emperor one after another, and Zhao Yun has become a hot figure in the Han officialdom.
