Chapter Seventy-Six: Raiding the House
After these things were dealt with, Liu Hong set up a banquet in Ganquan Palace, first, to bring the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer; Second, he wanted to give Sun Jian some tasks privately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After three rounds of drinking, the monarch and the minister are so unhappy.
Liu Hong took a sip of wine and didn't talk to Sun Jian again, but turned his head to look at Sun Yang, who had been silent and didn't know what to think.
"I heard that you are good at poetry and books, but you are a senior disciple of Yingchuan Ciming Gong, and you also wrote that manuscript, right? I look at your father's good martial arts, and he has become my right-hand man, and you are good at writing, and you will become my thousand-mile horse in the future! Your Sun family is a great talent! Liu Hong smiled.
Sun Yang showed a sincere and frightened face on his face, and said humbly: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, Xiaomin is still young, and he can't afford your praise Your Majesty!" β
Sun Yang didn't dare to show his stuff in front of this master of playing balance, thinking that after Liu Hong used his relatives to ascend the throne, he supported a large number of loyal and powerful relatives to fight hard, and finally launched the Xinhai coup d'Γ©tat in September of the first year of Jianning, which washed away the relatives and the party in one fell swoop, consolidated the throne, and swept away the vicious circle that has always been either the dictatorship of relatives or the power of eunuchs, and indeed a period of great Han was prospered.
But since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, let alone the emperor who is a young man? Liu Hong soon melted into the gentle township of the beauty and couldn't extricate himself, but at the age of thirty, he had already been hollowed out, so how could he have the energy to govern the country?
Under his indulgence, the Han Dynasty even accelerated the pace of destruction, his internal tightness and external looseness raised one by one the big families to be fat and fat, and raised them to be full of ambition, and the ministers of the Quartet were yang and yin, the officials protected each other, and the people were not happy! In this way, step by step from the outside, this already crumbling Han Dynasty was corroded.
"Well, yes, I also know humility, Xun Ciming has taught a good disciple again, alas, it's a pity that ......" Liu Hong smacked his lips and said.
It's a pity that he is the backbone of the party, Sun Yang secretly thought in his heart, and it was precisely because of this that Emperor Ling never reappointed him until his death.
"Okay, it's not too early, Wen Tai I have memorized everything he told you, right?" Liu Hong was a little interested.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have remembered! The minister is going to investigate these rebellious ministers and thieves overnight, and he will not tolerate it! β
"Very good, I will arrange for Zhang Rang to help you, go and put it, I am waiting for your good news."
After speaking, Liu Hong waved his hand, got up and walked out towards the apse.
After Liu Hong left, Sun Jian took Sun Yang and walked out.
At this time, Zhang Rang outside the palace had already made preparations, and after changing into a military uniform, after ordering someone to send Sun Yang out of the palace, Sun Jian set off with the forbidden army towards the goal.
This night is destined not to be peaceful.
Sun Yang, who had already joined Guo Jia, was drinking tea in the room, looking at Luoyang City, which was still blazing at midnight, and listening to the sound of weapons handing over and sergeants shouting and killing in the distance, Sun Yang's heart did not fluctuate at all. If Sun Yang had been placed in the past, he would definitely feel guilty, after all, so many people suffered and he also had a lot to do with him, but now, he deeply understands this sentence: Heaven is evil, you can still live; You will not live!
Guo Jia looked at Sun Yang calmly looking out the window and didn't say much. He only knew that their plan this time was very successful, and he should think about the future now, and he had a hunch that they might stay in Luoyang for a while.
β¦β¦
The spring breeze blows a sweet dream overnight, and the dawn begins to appear in Los Angeles.
After dawn, Luoyang City, which was noisy last night, returned to calm. Street vendors and pedestrians on the road don't care about these important things of the court, they just want to live in peace. And those who have interests in the upper class of society have lost their former tastes, they smell ominous, to be precise, they are afraid. Because the emperor in the deep palace once again stretched out his claws after more than ten years of calm, and he acted vigorously and resolutely, unchanged at all.
During the day, they could not calm down, and many small interest groups began a new round of deliberations, including the party group that was seriously damaged yesterday. Their money jar is mainly for business, and the Yang family, which is supplemented by official careers, was razed to the ground by the official army overnight, and many small families were also implicated, which can be said to have greatly damaged the vitality of their group overnight.
After synthesizing some information from yesterday, they decided to ask Zhu Jun to ask Xingshi for the crime, because it was his disciple Sun Jian who personally led people to do this, and Zhu Jun had a great responsibility. But they didn't know that if it weren't for their ruthlessness towards Sun Jian, the pressure on Zhu Jun would not have caused the current situation, and they were destined to take advantage of the excitement and return with defeat, because Zhu Jun would not meet them at all
"General, the preliminary calculation has been completed, and it is estimated that more than 400,000 yuan can be obtained!" A general reported to Sun Jian.
More than 400,000 dollars! This is equivalent to the total income of the imperial court in a year! Sun Jian didn't expect that only one Yang family and a few small families in Luoyang City would get such a big fortune, and in addition to being shocked, Sun Jian, who was worried about the country and the people, had great worries, even the big families at the foot of the imperial city had such a big wealth, so what kind of amazing wealth would those families who were not under the emperor's eyes have?
Sun Jian couldn't wait, he had to report to Liu Hong immediately, he knew very well how harmful these families were to the imperial court.
Ganquan Hall.
Liu Hong, who slept well last night, got up early and sat in front of the desk, still thinking about the flower and moon appearance of the concubine who was favored last night, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Captain Sun Jian of the West Garden asks to see you." A small yellow door reported.
"Let him in." Liu Hongdao.
He knew that Sun Jian had come to report the good news to him.
"Minister, please see Your Majesty." Sun Jian knelt down and said.
"Aiqing, please get up." Liu Hong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Jian stood up.
"Aiqing, tell me about yesterday's situation." Liu Hong waved his hand.
"No. Your Majesty, after raiding Yang, Zhao and other families last night, he obtained a total of more than 400,000 yuan and arrested more than 4,000 criminals. Sun Jian replied.
Liu Hong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Sun Jian say that he had found more than 400,000 yuan, you must know that last year's annual income was only worth more than 300,000 yuan! So much has been found out at once, and the treasury has a lot of wealth!
"Aiqing, it's very good, I'm very relieved, I'm very relieved!" Liu Hong said excitedly.
Seeing that Liu Hong didn't realize the problems behind these wealths, Sun Jian gritted his teeth and was about to express his worries to Liu Hong, but Liu Hong did not give him a chance to speak, but ordered him to immediately transport the counted money to the inner treasury of the palace.
Seeing this, Sun Jian wondered why Liu Hong wanted to transport the money to the palace, so he gave up the admonition, he knew that there would be more opportunities to say this in the future, so he should go and do things now, after all, he thought that he was still guilty of meritorious service.
After Sun Jian left, Liu Hong, who was crooked, laughed out loud. The money could be used to renovate the palace and his favorite gardens!
Alack! Sun Jian never thought that the wealth he copied out without sleeping all night would be used by Liu Hong to satisfy his selfish desires......
