Chapter Seventy-Six: The Name of the Cloth
Sang Hongyang is walking proudly outside the Weiyang Palace at this moment, he already knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will soon appoint Kong Wei as a big farmer, and he Sang Hongyang will also take over Kong Wei's current position as a big farmer. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
Thinking of the conversation with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just now, Sang Hongyang was excited and a little worried, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current progress of the Qian Ling in front of Kong Wei and Sang Hongyang, which was also an important reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty planned to remove the current Great Nong Ling Yanyi. However, as a businessman, Kong Zhi and Sang Hongyang are also very reluctant to make money in their hearts, which is also the only fly in the ointment that Sang Hongyang feels. Until now, he didn't know that Huo Guang had borrowed money to open the knife to his Sang family.
In the two choices of being an official and keeping the existing wealth of the Sang family, Sang Hongyang is also a little undecided, or he has not yet found a good balance between the two.
"Young Master...... The young master is not good! As soon as Sang Hongyang came out of Weiyang Palace, the servants of the Sang family were already looking forward to it, so he hurriedly stopped Sang Hongyang and said anxiously.
"What kind of system have you become? Something to say slowly! Sang Hongyang said unhappily, Sang Hongyang has gradually developed the habits of some officials over the years, and he feels that his servants are so out of shape, it is really undignified.
"Chang'an ordered Huo Guang to forcibly enter the mansion with hundreds of soldiers to liquidate assets, and the family couldn't stop him, so the master asked me to hurry up and inform the young master." The servant of the Sang family hurriedly said.
"Huo Guang? It's him again...... You say he has hundreds of sergeants with him? How is this possible? He only has a Chang'an order, and at most there are dozens of officials, where are the soldiers for him to deploy? Although Sang Hongyang's heart was also tight, he was quite calm, and he soon discovered something strange, and noticed that Huo Guang was a soldier instead of a servant.
"The little one was also present at the time, and he could see it clearly, it was indeed a soldier of the army. And these people are wearing armor and halberds, and they are definitely not county government officials, by the way, I listened to Huo Guang's order at that time, as if these soldiers were sergeants of the period. The servant of the Sang family told Sang Hongyang what he had seen and heard, because the Qimen Army was indeed different from the ordinary army, and all these people who came to Huo Guang also had a deep memory.
"What? Periodmen...... Did you hear it right? The words of the period gate army were like a hammer hammer hitting Sang Hongyang's heart, and his first feeling was that this was a signal that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had attacked the merchants of the world.
"You go back quickly and tell your father, if Huo Guang has already obtained the accounts, don't do anything to obstruct them, whatever they want to settle, if you haven't found the accounts, try your best to hide them, or directly let Huo Guang count them one by one." Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa 'I'm going to Confucius Mansion now, and I'll talk about it when I come back in the evening. Sang Hongyang settled down, and then commanded the servant, but he did not intend to return to the house immediately.
Sang Hongyang's words are no worse than Sang Donglai in the Sang family, although the servants were also surprised that Sang Hongyang had not returned to the house at this time, but he also seriously implemented Sang Hongyang's words, and returned to the house to tell Sang Dongyang's words.
Sang Hongyang did not go home to this Confucian Mansion is Kong Wei's mansion, and now Kong Wei is about to become a big farmer, which can be described as a high power, and more importantly, this person himself is also a rich businessman, and Sang Hongyang's boss, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really wants to completely implement the money order, then after taking the Sang family, he will definitely attack other businessmen, including Kong Wei.
When the whole Chang'an was surging because of Huo Guang's move, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still alone in a palace, and there was a huge cloth hanging on the wall in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there were many words densely written on the cloth. Each of these names is in a different position, at this moment, Emperor Wu of Han held a brush in his hand, looked at the cloth in front of him, thought for a while, and wrote two words on a blank space on the cloth.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hung a strange cloth in this palace room can be said to be the most mysterious place in the Weiyang Palace, usually Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not even allowed to clean the people to come in, even if the cleaning of this room is the emperor of the Han Wu Emperor personally did, and this piece of Han Wu Emperor has a lot of words of cloth in the whole world has not been seen by a second person.
If someone sees this piece of cloth, they will find that the two words written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just now are the names of a person, this person is Huo Guang who broke into Sanghong Yang's house with the Qimen army at this moment, and if you look carefully at this cloth, you will find that the words on it are all names, but the ink of these names is different, and it should be written at a large interval. For example, in front of Huo Guang's name is Lu Bode's name, and at the same time, there are also the names of Li Kanggao and others, the names of these people should have been written in the same period of time, but Li Kang's name was drawn in a circle, which is the second kind of ink on the whole cloth in addition to the name.
If you look further, you will also find the names of Li Cai, Zhang Tang, Zhang Qian and others, along with these names there are also the names of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, the most names in this period, almost including the current heavyweights in the court. Many of the names of this period were circled.
Among these names, the most eye-catching one turned out to be Liu An. That is, the king of Huainan who tried to rebel a few years ago, but this person ultimately failed and finally committed suicide and expelled the country.
And at the front of this cloth, which is also the earliest place where the ink is used, there are several characters who are also rich in the history books, such as the three names at the beginning, Wei Juan, Dou Ying, and Tian Wei, and these three names have all been drawn in a circle without exception. These three people are the three prime ministers who have served successively when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and the name of the cloth silk comes from this, it can be seen that this piece of cloth has existed for more than 20 years, and it was hung here after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty, Tingwei Yang Ke has something to ask to see!" Not long after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote Huo Guang's name, the voice of the inner servant came from outside the hall. During this period, Tingwei was equivalent to the president of the Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme Court in later generations, and he was also a high-ranking figure.
"If you have anything to say, just say it outside!" Emperor Wu of Han was still staring at the cloth, as if he didn't want to take his eyes off it, he just stared at the names on the cloth, and said with his back to the palace door.
"Your Majesty, the minister just got the news that Chang'an ordered Huo Guang to mobilize hundreds of troops into the city, and now he is serving in the Sanghong Yang Mansion, I heard that the Chang'an order is executing the money order, and it will be completely liquidated in Chang'an City." Yang Ke stood outside the palace gate, no one knew what purpose he had come to deliver this news to Emperor Wu of Han. You must know that there are many people who know Huo Guang's actions now, and many of them are more powerful than Yang Ke, but these people have chosen to pretend not to know, but Yang Ke is impatient to come to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Does Sang Hongyang know?" Emperor Wu of Han was also slightly stunned at first, and then just asked Sang Hongyang if he knew about it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's reaction was expected by Yang Ke, and at the same time, he also self-righteously confirmed the speculation in his heart, not only Yang Ke, but almost all the magnates in Chang'an thought that Huo Guang was under the instruction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to suddenly push the money order with great fanfare, because the Qimen Army is the most powerful proof.
"I don't know about this minister, but it seems that Sang Hongyang hasn't returned home so far." Yang Ke replied in a low voice, he didn't know it, as early as before entering Weiyang Palace, Yang Ke had already received the news that Sang Hongyang had gone to Kong Zhifu.
"Do you think it's a bit too impatient to implement the money order like this?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at the cloth for a long time before he suddenly asked.
As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, Yang Ke was full of excitement, in fact, he was waiting for this sentence. Few people in the court know that Yang Ke is actually very scheming, a person who is good at speculation, when others are still paying attention to Huo Guang's liquidation of the Sang family's property, Yang Ke has taken the lead in realizing that Huo Guang's move this time is not only the beginning of a signal, but also a huge political opportunity. And the purpose of Yang Ke's entry into the palace is to seize this opportunity.
"Your Majesty's money order is the way to benefit the country, and the minister resolutely supports it. Moreover, the minister felt that these laws and regulations were far from enough, and the merchants were rich and did not want to serve the country, and took the wealth of the people and did not benefit the people. Yang Ke said firmly and sonorously. Before he came, Yang Ke had already thought of a plan that was more expensive than the Qian Ling, as long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded, he was sure that all the wealth of the entire Han merchants would be nationalized.
"Aiqing is very pleased, you go back and write a charter on this matter and take it out when you go to the meeting!" A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Han's mouth, and he swept aside the cloth as he spoke, and found that there was no Yang Ke's name on it, but it seemed that Emperor Wu of Han didn't mean to add his name.
"No!" Yang Ke bowed again, he knew that there was no need to stay now, so he quietly retreated after responding.
"Hehe, in the end, it's a young man, or I can't hold my breath, it seems that I still overestimate you. Sanghong Sheep ...... This is a good candidate......" After Yang Ke left, Emperor Wu of Han stared at the cloth and said to himself, and as he spoke, he wrote the name of Sang Hong Yang next to Huo Guang's name.
If you look closely at this cloth, there is another feature on it, that is, some names are obviously close to each other, like a small group, and some names seem to be balancing each other, and some are even several together. If there is one word to describe it, it is intricate!
Huo Guang's liquidation in the Sang family went very smoothly, and when the city gate was about to close, he took the period gate army out of Chang'an, after all, he couldn't afford the risk of letting hundreds of soldiers stay in Chang'an at night. Before leaving, Huo Guang specially instructed Zhang Ji and Li Ling to start liquidating the Chang'an merchants with great fanfare from tomorrow.
The implementation of the money order is naturally just another play directed by Huo Guang, and whether it is really just for a money order is only known to Huo Guang himself. However, at sunset in Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang and the others had already returned to Shanglin Yuan Sanjue Guan before returning to the house, and after he returned to the house, he called Sang Donglai and the two uncles into the room to discuss secretly.
On this day, Huo Guang and the Qimen army liquidated the Sang family's property and seemed to have a hurricane in Chang'an City, but this movement seemed to come and go quickly, and there was a feeling of being a tiger. It wasn't until the morning of the second day that several events occurred in the court, which made the Manchu civil and military realize that the storm had just begun......
