Sun Zhaoyuan was not surprised, and asked the little official to set up chairs for Yao Yungui and others, but Yao Yungui and others did not sit, and said angrily: "Today, I will ask Lord Sun to give me a word, if you really want to lease it to a large private household, you must talk about this matter today, otherwise the fateful place of Yunxi Prefecture will fall into the hands of others, and we people will naturally be ashamed of the cultivation of the saint and do not take good care of this Yunxi Prefecture." Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation, the golden river and the jade river have been in the hands of the imperial court, and how to get into our hands, let the people be in charge of the lifeblood of the world. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Yao, it's a good thing that you have opinions, sit down and talk about it, why be angry." ”

Yao Yungui said: "How can you not be angry, Lord Sun, since you came to this Yunxi Prefecture, it can be said that the officials of Yunxi Prefecture have chilled their hearts, and I ask you, the land management state regulations were promulgated with your support, do you know that when this state regulations are issued, the big landowners in Longdu Prefecture are all striking to grow grain, do you know about this?" Let me ask you again, yesterday the Luwei Mansion reported that dozens of roads and bridges audited by your officials had collapsed and hundreds of people died. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "It's not good, my flaws have all been cleaned up by Yao Yungui, if the land of Longdu Mansion can't collect grain and grass, the Holy Lord will definitely blame me for doing bad things and handling things badly, if the roads and bridges in Luwei Mansion collapse again, I have received the right to review those newly built roads and bridges from Luwei Mansion to the state government office, and I have appointed officials to conduct audits, and I will be responsible for this crime." Yao Yungui and the others must have seen that I was going to make a move against Jinhe Yuhe, so they joined forces to counteract me. This is not easy to do. ”

Yao Yungui asked, "Master Sun, if I ask you, please answer truthfully." Now the officials of Yunxi Prefecture are staring at the state government officials up and down, Sun Da has only been here for a year, there have been so many accidents, so many baskets, if the matter is not calmed down, Yunxi Prefecture officials are afraid that they will collectively go to the court and impeach Lord Sun, if Lord Sun is lost, he will change all the mistakes in the past, and regain the trust of officials in Yunxi Prefecture, which is the right way. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will hurt the harmony with Master Sun, and both sides will be embarrassed. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan listened to Yao Yungui's words and knew that Yao Yungui was the last to give him a signal, if he shook hands and made peace at the moment, then Yao Yungui's killing moves would also be merciful and not fight with Sun Zhaoyuan, but if Sun Zhaoyuan insisted on being the enemy of Yao Yungui and others, he Yao Yungui and these officials under his command would immediately all riot and fight with Sun Zhaoyuan.

It's just that Yao Yungui doesn't know that Sun Zhaoyuan's chess game has been played at this time, how can he easily abandon his son and admit defeat.

Sun Zhaoyuan was in the hall, and said with a cold expression: "Lord Yao, Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, now you are coming to find this official for these things. This is a good time for you to recall the situation at that time, and to submit the minutes of the previous meetings. ”

After speaking, the little officials in the hall hurriedly submitted the minutes of the proceedings to Sun Zhaoyuan's desk. Sun Zhaoyuan flipped through the record and said: "The promulgation of the land management state regulations by the Longdu Mansion was signed and agreed by all the adults, if you want to use this matter to impeach this official, then what crime should you be?" ”

Yao Yungui said: "You look at this record, at that time, it was you who kept saying that if you followed your law, there would be no chaos in this Yunxi Prefecture, and the three of us reluctantly agreed to promulgate this state law." But now it seems that what you said has not been fulfilled at all. Ma Rushan just sent the soldiers to Longdu Mansion, Luyang Mansion was on fire, almost burned to the sky, Tan Jiaxing kept promising that this state would increase taxes on grain and grass, now you see, all the big landowners have to abandon the land, not only the grain and grass taxes are not enough, those big landowners do not hire local villagers, those villagers are afraid that they will all starve to death this winter, Sun Zhaoyuan, this is all your sin, the three of you have to bear it, don't want to run. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was so persecuted by Yao Yungui, it was really a dilemma, if the big landowners really stopped planting land this year, I am afraid that as Yao Yungui said, many villagers will starve to death.

When Sun Zhaoyuan frowned and thought about countermeasures, Yao Yungui was troubled again, and said: "Sun Zhaoyuan, there is also the matter of Luwei Mansion Road and Bridge, you will have the right to audit the new road and bridge, from the Luwei Mansion to the State Government, and the officials you choose will review it, you have not discussed this matter with us, you yourself announced this decree in Luwei Mansion, and there is still the court law in your eyes, you rely on you to be the head of this state, and you will be stubborn in case of trouble, and you will be in charge of the situation alone, and treat the other officials of the state capital as nothing, and now dozens of roads and bridges have collapsed, and hundreds of people have died. It's all your arbitrary involvement, do you know that if you go to the court, you will not only have to strip off your official uniform, but also exile you to Changliuzhou. Sun Zhaoyuan, have you ever thought about this consequence. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan has already reviewed the pros and cons, knowing that this matter has reached this point and there is no way to retreat, if he is forced to the palace by Yao Yungui and others today, he will immediately admit it, not only the officials in Yunxi Prefecture will only say that he is a coward, no matter how difficult it is for him to stand up for power, no matter how difficult it is to take power, all matters will only be based on Yao Yungui's opinions in the future, and Emperor Yan's errands can no longer be done, and Emperor Yan will not be able to deal with himself when he sees Emperor Yan in the future, so he simply bears these charges first, and finds a way to talk about it, and then he will have a statement when he is above the court and in front of the saint.

Sun Zhaoyuan said coldly: "Okay, good, you Yao Yungui, you people are also forcing the palace officials to come, if you want me to obey you, I am afraid of you, and I will not be satisfied if I don't lease this Jinhe Yuhe to a large private household, but what I want to say today is that this Jinhe Yuhe must be rented to a large private household." This official flipped through the ancient records of Jinhe and Yuhe, all dynasties, how can there be so little gold and jade produced today, if you can increase production, how can this official risk the world's disapproval, Jinhe Yuhe is rented to large private households. ”

Zhang Wencai trembled, wanting to be fierce but didn't dare, and said, "Sun ...... Lord Sun, what you said is not to say that our river diggers do not do their best to do errands, so that the yield of this gold and jade cannot be increased. Master Sun, if you don't know the truth, don't talk nonsense, everything must be conclusive before you can accuse us like this. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan snorted and said, "Have you done your best, you know in your heart that if you do it well, how can the output of this gold and jade be worse year after year." ”

Zhang Wencai's mouth trembled, and said: "Then Jinhe Yuhe is so golden, and he can't rely on me." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Then since you can't dig, someone can guarantee that he can dig, then you still have something to say." When I arrived at Huating Mansion, I personally asked you if you could increase the production of gold and jade, but you replied that you couldn't, if you could dig 10 million taels of silver a year, why should I slap your face and give this gold river to others. Now it's up to the officials to do it, even if all of you oppose it, I'm going to do it! ”

Yao Yungui was so angry that his eyes widened angrily and said, "You dare! ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Yao Yungui, you are joking, this official is the chief official of a state, I will decide, if the court investigates and punishes it, you bluntly say that it is my idea, that is, I am the sole decision, if the saint wants to dismiss me, let the saint dispose of it." ”

Jiang Chao scolded: "Sun Zhaoyuan, you dare to rent this river of gold and jade to others, don't you want to accept any benefits from this big private household?" You're going to be honest! ”

Yao Yungui, Jiang Sheng, and Zhang Wencai listened, and hurriedly echoed and scolded: "Yes, Sun Zhaoyuan, what benefits have you received, and you have brought them truthfully!" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "A few of you, you don't even know who is going to lease this Jinhe Yuhe, so you come to force the palace official, it's really ridiculous." Listen, this big family is the son of the sister of the current queen mother, and the cousin of the current saint, how can such a person bribe the official, and how dare the official conspire with him to seize the right to dig the golden river and the jade river. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said this, Yao Yungui and the others didn't dare to talk about the big family anymore, if this big family was really a relative of the emperor, they would beat Sun Zhaoyuan with this, they were afraid that they would drown a few of them.

Yao Yungui said: "Even if there is no cat in it, all our officials in Yunxi Prefecture must oppose this matter, Sun Zhaoyuan, let's see." ”

After saying that, several people went away angrily.

Sun Zhaoyuan originally thought that the idea of leasing Jinhe Yuhe was to save face for Yao Yungui and others, not to directly confront them, but to borrow Sonaza's hand, and tactfully dispose of Jinhe Yuhe's stubborn doorway, if Yao Yungui and others took a step back, they would go down this step, and everyone would go over on face, and the matter would be over, even if you still have thoughts in your heart, if you want to dig and steal mining, it is also a matter of you Yao Yungui and Sonazha, you fight by yourself, and he Sun Zhaoyuan has nothing to do with it. But Yao Yungui did not go down this step, and today he came to declare war with Sun Zhaoyuan. This matter has reached the point where it is necessary to fight each other in a short manner. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, Yao Yungui is a person who values wealth more than life, the thickest doorway in his hand is about to be taken back by your Sun Zhaoyuan, how can he spare it? Sun Zhaoyuan abolished all the doorways in Yunxi Prefecture, how could the officials of Yunxi Prefecture spare it, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, people die for money, birds die for food, since there is no money, what do you say, you have to fight with you Sun Zhaoyuan.

Yao Yungui and others were forced to a dead end, and there was no way to retreat.

Sun Zhaoyuan is also helpless, if he does not take back the Jinhe and Yuhe, how can the saint be satisfied, and how can he have money to support the counterinsurgency. Emperor Yan sent Sun Zhaoyuan to bring down this stubborn disease, not that Emperor Yan didn't know that the joints were greasy, but if Emperor Yan did it himself, all the spearheads would point at him, and he was the Son of Heaven, how could he personally take the blame. So if the Son of Heaven doesn't carry it, then it's not you, Sun Zhaoyuan, who else will carry it?

This is his Sun Zhaoyuan's fate.

As soon as they went, Sun Zhaoyuan ordered someone to invite Ma Rushan, Tan Jiaxing, Jin Fei, and Jiang Fugui to discuss important matters at the public office tomorrow.

On the second day, everyone gathered, and Sun Zhaoyuan told everyone about Yao Yungui's forced palace yesterday, and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you think of several adults?" ”
