Chapter Fifty-Six: Mistakes

"Qingrong, what did the emperor say?" Although Lu Wenlin didn't believe it, he was still a little curious, so he just listened to it and gave Sister Rong a face.

Lu Wenlin listened with relish, but Du's expression was a little reluctant.

"Uncle may not know that there are many lords in Beijing now, they are not at all like words, they don't look like lords at all, and the inside is full of holes, there are many lords who look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they have lost everything inside."

Du Shi was drinking tea and paused when he heard this.

"And many lords, relying on the status of their families, bully men and women, occupy the people's fields, and kill people and do all kinds of evil, it is simply a shame for the Dayu Dynasty, in the long run, I am afraid that this capital should be a magnificent place, and it will become a place for these lords to be unfilial."

"Sister Rong's words are indeed good, there are indeed many lords in the capital now, and they have done a bit excessively, relying on the status of the family not to take the law as a thing, and there are no less evil things."

Lu Wenlin nodded cooperatively.

"There is a shortage of silver in the court, and it is far from enough to rely on the little taxes in various places, and if the taxes of the people are increased, the consequences of causing riots among the people will be even worse."

Lu Wenlin goes to court every day, so he naturally knows about this matter, and now the emperor is embarrassed about this matter!

"Then I don't know what rumors Xuan Guogong can hear?"

"Uncle, that's exactly what I'm going to say!" Lu Qingrong looked at him, the emperor is going to rectify these lords' families, raid the family and destroy the family, won't there be money at that time? ”

How is it possible to raid the Lord's house and destroy him?

The meritorious positions of this lord's family are hereditary, and the wealth of the family is naturally accumulating more and more, if this is really the case, there are many lords in Beijing who are going to suffer!

The Lord's family didn't have much to do with Lu Wenlin, so he quickly stabilized and followed the analysis.

"It stands to reason that there are a lot of lords in the capital, in addition to a little more wealth, their children and grandchildren are becoming more and more unrepresentable, some time ago I heard that there are children of the lord's family in the Qinglou to make trouble, and a lot of people have been killed, Dali Temple did not dare to accept it, the meritorious family just gave some of the families of the killed a sum of money, even if it is a thing."

Lu Wenlin shook his head as he spoke.

Lu Qingrong had also heard about what he said, and it seemed that someone from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was also involved at that time.

I just don't know if Du Shi knows.

But looking at Du Shi's pale face, I think I know it.

Since you know it, it's easy to do.

"If the emperor really intends to rectify the lord, it will be a good thing for the people in the capital." Lu Wenlin said, "Now that the Dayu Dynasty has just gone through three generations, it is the time to be rebuilt. These lords' families should also work hard to maintain the reputation of their ancestors, but they are all gentle, not only have they lost their ancestors' family business but also are unscrupulous, and if this continues, the reputation of the Dayu Dynasty will be stinked by these people, so they should be ruthlessly rectified. ”

Lu Qingrong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Wenlin to say such a thing.

It seems that this eldest uncle is not without any hills and valleys.

There are many lords in this capital, but there are not many who are really so unscrupulous and take their lives.

The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion can be regarded as the number one.

I heard that Marquis Zhongyong is a lustful person, and there are more than 30 concubines in the house, which is comparable to the emperor's harem.

The prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong is even more absurd and promiscuous, and is a frequent visitor to the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou.

The Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion spends money like running water.

Being so tormented by these people, I am afraid that even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, this money will be lost sooner or later.

It is not difficult to understand why the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion took a fancy to her dowry.

Now the Du clan refuses to tear his face with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, just because he doesn't want to offend them.

But if the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion falls, isn't it the eldest uncle who has the final say in the Lu family? He couldn't compromise if he wanted to.

In the past, Du Shi bullied her a lot, and wished she died sooner.

Now it's time for her to be angry, the biggest punishment for the Du family is to let her have no backer, and at the same time, the uncle also has a caring person around her, which is the biggest punishment for her.

"Sister Rong, what you just said was what your father-in-law said." Du Shi was a little incredulous and asked again.

Lu Qingrong nodded, "That's what my father-in-law said, and I heard that the emperor is collecting evidence of the crimes of various lords, so he must pick out a few and punish them severely, but I don't know whose family is unlucky." ”

Du Shi hesitated, "However, after all, the title of the lord's family was passed down by the ancestors, and their ancestors all won the current title for the great Yu Dynasty. ”

"Of course the emperor doesn't have to worry." Lu Qingrong didn't care, "The emperor is sending people to collect evidence of the lord's family harming the people, corrupting the law and bullying the king, and when the time comes, the people will naturally not say that the emperor is ruthless, but will say that the emperor is selfless, and when the time comes, this is exactly what the emperor wants to see." ”

Compared to killing a few lords, this deal is still cost-effective to get the support of the people.

The emperor is naturally not stupid.

Having said that, Lu Qingrong's purpose has also been achieved, and he is in a good mood.

She got up and prepared to take her leave, believing that if Du Shi could take advantage of her words today, her dowry would soon be returned.

As for Du Shi wanting to leave something for her woman, as long as it wasn't too much, she didn't want to kill them all.

Even for the sake of the Lu family, leave them a decent place.

When I returned to Xuanguo Mansion, I happened to meet Mrs. Zhao and Xuanguo Gong who were going out.

Xuan Guogong asked about returning to Lu's house today, and Lu Qingrong told Xuan Guogong about the matter briefly.

Unexpectedly, after Xuan Guogong heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, "Why didn't I think of it?" ”

"What didn't you expect?" Mrs. Zhao looked puzzled.

Xuan Guogong didn't answer, but just pressed Mrs. Zhao's shoulder, "I'll go into the palace now and tell him about this matter, if it is done well, the matter of food and salary can be solved." ”

Xuan Guogong laughed and left, "By the way, Qingrong, don't forget to leave a lunch for your father, I'll come back to eat." ”

Saying that, Xuan Guogong left, Mrs. Zhao didn't understand what was wrong with him, but Lu Qingrong guessed a few points.
