Chapter 972: Hands-on
Yang Zheng walked on the front foot, and Xiahou Chun's main room Li came to the door.
"Niangniang, how can Wang Jun be virtuous, why does he sit in the prosperous land of Jiangdong?"
There are a lot of things that the Xiahou family is eyeing a lot.
And the governor of Wuzhou is obviously much thicker than Huainan Taishou, not only the Xiahou family covets it, but other people in the court also secretly cast greedy eyes.
Xiahou Zhi was upset, but there was no movement on his face, "You also know that Your Majesty has always disliked women participating in state affairs, since Your Majesty uses Wang Jun, he must have something extraordinary, you should still keep your duty, don't ask so much." β
"Half of the world of this Great Qin is our Xiahou family, of course our own family is more credible, and it's just a Wuzhou assassin history, can it be so difficult that the mother can't do it?" Lee's is also a sharp mouth.
As we all know, without the protection of Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Xuan, how could there be today's Great Qin?
The men of the Xiahou family didn't dare to say that, but the women were straightforward and chewed their tongues without scruples.
The Xiahou family is indeed kind to Daqin, but it has not reached this point.
Xiahou Zhi looked at the Li family sadly, knowing that the Xiahou family was hopeless.
She was caught in the middle, the most uncomfortable, with her husband and son on one side and her mother's family on the other, "They think the same way?" β
"Who else in this world doesn't know the relationship between the Yang family and the Xiahou family? Now that the Xiahou family has only caught one Taishou, it is really impossible to get on the table, according to me, it is not too much to ask for a mediocre scholar. β
"I see, you can go back." Xiahou sighed, and he didn't know why Xiahou's family became like this.
She suddenly thought of her father, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, this is not to the fifth generation, the Xiahou family has fallen to this, there is not a single character in the clan, there is neither a Confucian, nor a general, only Xiahou Xu supports the faΓ§ade.
The reason is that life has been too smooth these years.
Xiahoudun's family is known for being good at business.
Xiahou Yuan's family, the talent has withered.
After Li left, Xiahou Zhi was silent for a long time, and sighed quietly, "Take the blame." β
Between her mother's family and her husband and son, she chose the latter.
In the court, the sound of the forbidden sea became louder and louder.
Yang Zheng never thought that the influence of the Xiahou family was already so great.
Of course, there are also some people who are bewitched.
After all, China has been a continental country since ancient times, and it has formed a continental mentality, and it is reasonable that it does not like the ocean.
Moreover, shipbuilding is not a small amount, and in their eyes it is a waste of money and labor.
The hardest thing in the world is to change people's way of thinking.
However, Yang Zheng has made up his mind about opening the sea.
Without sea power, the Chinese nation is like missing a leg, which is the thousand-year-old plan of Great Qin.
In fact, as long as Yang Zheng does not waver, it is useless for these people to shout loudly.
At the same time, the secret investigation of the Xiahou family by the Zhenfu Si Zheng also quickly came to fruition.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.
Although the Xiahou family has little influence in the court, in the Central Plains, it has grown into a towering tree and become a new generation of Dashi clan.
However, Xiahou's family did it very secretively, not encircling the population, encroaching on land and other traditional dramas, but infiltrating, infiltrating all parts of the Central Plains, like a dense spider web.
From Huainan to Qian Pei and Qingxu, there are people all over them, and there are also their people in the court.
A new community of interests has been born.
To maintain such a large network, it is natural to need profits.
They did not dare to reach out to the land and the population, so they could only reach out to trade.
Xiahou Nan was famous for being good at running the family business, and the Xiahou family was not bad at this aspect, and three of the seven major businesses in the Central Plains were theirs.
In recent years, maritime trade has risen, and the herbs, leather goods, and timber of Liaodong, and the peacocks, pearls and other luxury goods in Lingnan have all taken the sea route.
There are also female slaves in the Wa Kingdom, etc., all of which are profitable businesses.
If they can monopolize shipping, the Xiahou family will really be rich.
Strictly speaking, the Xiahou family did not touch the laws of Great Qin.
But their approach has already threatened imperial power.
If you have money in your hands, or are you a relative, if you continue to do this, who will be able to control it in the future?
"If Your Majesty uproot the Xiahou clan, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation in the future. Lu Zhi also sighed.
"Can the Xiahou family be compared to Han Xin and Peng Yue? What I owe them has long been replaced, and besides, it is Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Xuan that I owe, not Xiahou Zhuang and Xiahou Jun. β
To this day, what is Yang Zheng afraid of the notoriety of a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey?
Lu Zhi smiled slightly, "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, the old man will not say much." β
"The world is the world of the people of the world, not mine, nor the Xiahou family."
A few days later, Jin Yiwei collected all kinds of evidence of Xiahou's crimes.
People can't stand scrutiny.
Xiahou Zhuang was cautious, but the rest of the Xiahou family would not be so low-key and stir up trouble in the local area.
Xiahou Zhuang's son-in-law, Chen Liutaishou Zheng Pi made a one-time purchase of 4,000 taels of gold, and directly made him a Taishou from a county master's book.
Don't do too much of this kind of thing, Jin Yiwei grabbed a lot of it.
A storm also arose from Huainan and soon swept half of the Central Plains.
Yang Zheng did not leave his hand, and from the local area to the court, there were as many as 371 officials involved.
The property of Xiahou Zhuang, Xiahou Jun and others was confiscated.
let Yang Zheng see what it means to be rich and rival the country.
Xiahouzhuang alone has 70,000 taels of gold, 230,000 taels of silver, innumerable money, 50 carts, 21 mansions in Daxing City, 3 fleets, more than 570 large and small sea boats and river boats......
Xiahou's family has taken low-key luxury to the extreme, don't look at the place where they live looks tattered, but there is something else inside, and all kinds of famous calligraphy and paintings have been collected in a room.
It is no wonder that the Xiahou family wants to stretch out their hands to the sea to maintain such a large family business and power, and the ordinary means of accumulating wealth are no longer enough.
This is still Xiahouzhuang's family.
Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the other Xiahou family properties also reached a terrifying number.
With so much family wealth, if it is all obtained through normal channels, it is estimated that the ghosts will not believe it.
As more and more crimes were picked up by the Jinyi Guard, a sensational eucalyptus of the entire empire was also revealed to the world.
What made Yang Zheng feel the most was that the Xiahou family actually had a secret connection with Sima Wang.
The reason why Sima Wang was able to disappear without a trace in the Central Plains was indispensable to the help of the Xiahou family.
Of course, judging from the various charges collected, the Xiahou clan was also Sima Wang who seized the handle and was used by him.
Although the Sima family beheaded Xiahou Xuan and forced Xiahou Ba away, this did not affect their relationship with the other Xiahou families.
The scholars are often so cold-blooded and only value interests.
