Dayan Kyoto, Xuanzheng Palace.

Five days have passed since Tang Tingbai last went to court.

In the past five days, Tang Tingbai confronted the ministers, and he knew in his heart that as long as he did not compromise, in the end, these ministers could only accept it.

On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.

And none of the civil and military officials spoke.

The scene was a little awkward.

Zhuge Liang, the head of the Criminal Department, stood up: "Your Majesty, there was an incident in Jiangnan Mansion recently, Huang Yougong was ordered by Huang Yougong of Huangxian County of Jiangnan Mansion to open the granary without permission, violating the law of Dayan, and now Huang Yougong has been escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department, awaiting trial. ”

Oh?

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Tang Tingbai was a little curious.

Because according to the law of Dayan, without the emperor's holy decree, if you open the granary without permission, it is not only a capital crime, but also the killing of the three clans.

It can be said that as long as you are not stupid, you will not do it.

"Lord Zhuge , why did this Huang Yougong do this?" Tang Tingbai was a little curious.

Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly, and he told the matter of Huangxian County as it was.

In the end, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, although this Huang Yougong has violated the law of Dayan, after all, it is for the people of Huang County, and his subordinates feel ......."

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to finish speaking, Tang Tingbai directly interrupted: "Since you have violated the law of Dayan, you have concealed the famine for a month for your black yarn hat, resulting in dozens of people starving to death, this Huang Yougong deserves to die, the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei jointly handled the case, and directly punished the three clans to set an example." ”

This......

Zhuge Liang's face changed.

Originally, he thought that if he said a few words of pleading, Huang Yougong and his family should be able to escape death.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang knows Tang Tingbai very well, and Huang Yougong was able to open a warehouse and release grain, which shows that he is actually a kind person in his bones, and he still has the people in his heart.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, this kind of official is absolutely not guilty of death.

However, Tang Tingbai didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and was directly convicted.

Killing the three clans means that dozens of people in Huang Yougong's family will be decapitated.

"Please think twice, although this Huang Yougong is damned, it is also excusable, please think twice." Zhuge Liang hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Invincible also stood up: "Your Majesty, this Huang Yougong really deserves to die, but it is indeed a crime that does not deserve death, Huang Yougong used to be a company commander in the White Tiger Army, because he was seriously injured in the battle against Dali, so he could only retire from the army, because he was a showman, so the court promoted him to become a county order, Huang Yougong was confused, but please let the emperor see that he once fought for the south and north of Dayan, spare his life." ”

As soon as the words fell, the members of West Lake took a step forward in unison.

"The ministers seconded the proposal and asked the emperor to spare Huang Yougong's life."

Tang Tingbai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in the corners of his eyes.

What do these courtiers want to do? Is it forced to the palace?

Besides, even if it was a forced palace, did they think Tang Tingbai would be afraid?

In fact, in Tang Tingbai's heart, he also felt that Huang Yougong concealed it and did not report it, killing dozens of innocent people, and he deserved to die.

But he was able to open the granary regardless of life and death, so that other people would not starve to death, and from this point of view alone, Tang Tingbai admired this guy very much.

However, the law of the land is ruthless.

Since Huang Yougong has violated the law of Dayan, even if it is excusable, he must be killed.

Otherwise, if there is a matter of opening the granary without permission in the future, will you be punished or not punished at that time?

Punish it, the granary that people did open for the sake of the people.

If there is no punishment, the law of Dayan will be useless.

To put it bluntly, the life and death of a Huang Yougong, Tang Tingbai doesn't care.

He cares more about his imperial power.

Imperial power does not allow anyone to provoke.

Besides, in his previous life, Tang Tingbai once watched a TV series.

In that TV series, Emperor Jiajing once said a sentence, and Tang Tingbai felt very reasonable.

That is, even if the civil and military officials are right, you, as the emperor, must oppose it, because as the emperor, you just can't let the civil and military officials be too happy.

Let them know who is the real master of the country.

Tang Tingbai took a deep breath: "Okay, don't say it, I have made up my mind, Huang Yougong deserves to die, he knows that he is a death, and the granary that he opened in order to make up for his mistakes can be regarded as a person's dying words, I personally sentenced Huang Yougong to be executed immediately, as for his family, let it go!" ”

This......

The civil and military officials glanced at each other, but did not speak.

Because they know that since the emperor has already said so, they can't change it.

At this time, Wang Changlin, the head of the Ministry of Industry, stood up: "Your Majesty, the steel factory you set up by your subordinates before is now formed, and the weapons and armor created are more durable and durable than before, and even now our steel output is more than ten times that of Dayan before." ”

A dozen times?

Tang listened to Bai and smiled, but there was no surprise on his face.

In fact, Dayan's steel production was too small before, and even the annual steel was only enough to make weapons and armor for the warriors.

It can be said that Dayan at that time was seriously deficient in iron, which was also one of the important factors restricting the development of Dayan's army.

After Tang Tingbai discovered this problem, he directly exchanged the steelmaking drawings from the system and handed them to Wang Changlin.

No, in less than half a year, the steel mill has been built and is already in production.

"Your Majesty, now the output of our Hubu Steelmaking Plant in one month is equivalent to the output of Dayan in one and a half years in the past, and now we produce so much steel every month, what should we do?"

In the end, Wang Changlin had a wry smile on his face.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry was worried that there would not be enough steel.

Now I don't have to worry about the lack of steel, now the warehouse is full of steel, and I can't use it.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin: "To build farm tools and sell them to the people, it is enough to collect a cost price at the price, if there is still steel left, make steel bars, and when the time comes, whether it is to build a house or a bridge, it can be used!" ”

Wang Changlin nodded: "The minister understands, Your Majesty, you said a few days ago that you would return the silver to the royal treasury, it should be a joke, right?" ”

Well?

Tang Tingbai's face was calm, he looked at Wang Changlin, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice: "Hehe, Wang Butang, do you think I'm joking?" ”

I......

Wang Changlin smiled bitterly and hurriedly shook his head.

The rest of the officials, who originally wanted to say a few words, immediately stopped talking.

Because they know they can't change anything.

At this time, the old master of the Ministry of Rites also stood up: "Your Majesty, Nan Chen's new left servant has found a minister, he wants to know, what can Nan Chen do to calm the anger of Da Yan and bring them back to Emperor Chen and the royal family of Chen State?" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "This is simple, I asked Nanhan for one billion taels of silver, two billion catties of grain, they Nan Chen wanted to calm my anger, the same thing, three times as much, as well as the prince and two million hostages, I let the Nanchen royal family go!" ”

This......

The old master smiled helplessly.

Thrice.

He knew that the royal family didn't want to let go of the Nanchen royal family at all.

After all, in the old master's opinion, as long as Nan Chen has a little backbone, he will never agree to Tang Tingbai's conditions.

And just like that, another five days passed.

Xiang Yu successfully broke through to the strength of the Nine Grades of the Acquired Realm, and was the first powerhouse of Dayan.

In this way, after another half a month, the Southern Han delegation and the Southern Chen delegation returned to Dayan again, but this time they brought hundreds of huge carriages.

The carriage was loaded with a billion taels of silver and two billion catties of grain.

And Nan Chen's mission actually came.

They brought three billion taels of silver, and six billion catties of grain.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Dayan was shaken.

Prime Minister Dayan, the central general, and the six ministries personally greeted them at the gate of the city.

At the same time the army protected.

After all, with so much money and food, you have to protect it carefully.

Soon, Su Zhen took Ji Xuan, the right servant of the Southern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Wei, the new left servant of the Southern Chen, towards the palace.

Before leaving, Su Zhen looked at Zhang Tiandao and said: "Zhang Butang, so much money and grain have been pulled to the treasury of the household department, it must be strictly guarded, and there must be no problems." ”

Zhang Tiandao smiled: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister." ”

After Su Zhen walked away, Zhang Tiandao waved his hand.

The officials of the household department and the thousands of officials of the household department planned to take over the silver and materials.

But at this moment, two teams of people suddenly appeared not far away, also thousands of people.

Well?

Seeing someone coming from afar, Zhang Tiandao, who was originally full of excitement, immediately turned gloomy and muttered to himself.

"Why are Li Yuanfang and Huang Jin here?"

After speaking, Zhang Tiandao's face became ugly again, and he had vaguely guessed something.
