Chapter 344: The Grasshopper After Autumn

In the next few days, Hua Xiong went to the court meeting as normal.

But it made the civil and military officials in the court a little surprised, and even whispered because of this.

You must know that before Huaxiong, it was rare to come to a court meeting.

In the past few days, I haven't pulled it again and again, could it be that something is wrong?

When Hua Xiong heard their discussion, he couldn't cry or laugh.

The purpose of his visit to the court meeting was to see if he could meet Princess Wannian.

It turned out that it was a pity that he hadn't seen Liu Muxue since the last time he met in the villa.

And Yang Xiu, Yang Biao, Fu Wan and others were still worried for the first few days, for fear that Hua Xiong would find out about their conspiracy.

But after a few days of silence, he found that Hua Xiong didn't move, so he became lively again.

At the court meeting many times, he contradicted Huaxiong and prevented his decree from being conveyed smoothly.

On this day, the court meeting was discussing the matter of re-measuring the land under heaven.

"Your Majesty, King Wei, all the ministers."

Xun Yu stood up and bowed his hand,

"More than a few years have passed since the implementation of the new policy.

The DPRK and China's data on the land under heaven are not very clear.

So I felt it was necessary to tell the states and governments to re-measure the land and then compile the data. ”

"Lord Xun's proposal, the minister agrees."

"Seconded."

"The minister agrees."

Cai Yong, Wang Yun and other ministers stood up one after another and agreed.

Countless fields have been cleared every year since Huaxiong implemented a new policy that provided seeds, farm tools and cattle to encourage farmers to reclaim wasteland.

At present, the data collected and submitted from various places are all one or two years ago.

Not to mention the outdated data, it's still messy.

Therefore, it is necessary to re-measure the land under heaven to facilitate the management and collection of taxes by the imperial court.

Liu Xie saw that so many adults agreed, and Hua Xiong had no intention of objecting, so he was ready to nod his head in agreement.

"I ...... Quasi"

However, at this moment, Fu Wan suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

Cai Yong and other ministers looked sideways, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

After subduing these people, are they full of food, why do they have to jump out and oppose everything?

"Your Majesty, the matter of re-surveying the land is not only costly but also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Now that the imperial court has just pacified the north, it is time to recuperate, so the ministers are against it! ”

Fu Wanyi's words are authentic.

"The minister is also against it!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, and he also objected."

Yang Biao, Yang Xiu's father and son, plus the rest of the ministers, also stood up and spoke up.

This gave Liu Xie a little headache.

Fu Wan is his father-in-law.

When Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc on the government, it was Yang Biao who stood up and argued for it.

He couldn't ignore their opinions.

Therefore, Liu Xie had to look at Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong smiled faintly,

"Since several ministers disagree, then this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and it will be discussed again at the next court meeting."

As soon as he said this, the matter had to be put on hold.

The pilgrimage will disperse.

Fu Wan and the others walked in front of Hua Xiong triumphantly like generals returning triumphantly.

Hua Xiong, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia returned to the command post.

"After ambushing these people, they are really stubborn!

Such a thing that benefits the country and the people has become a waste of money and labor in their mouths.

It's really annoying to me! ”

Cai Yong slapped the table, dissatisfied.

"These people have done whatever it takes to fight the lord, what a misguided country!"

Even Xun Yu, who has always been a good person, was a little angry at the moment, and sighed hatefully.

"King Wei, you have an idea."

Wang Yun looked at Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong laughed,

"Have you ever seen an autumn grasshopper?"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then shook their heads.

"In the winter, grasshoppers either freeze to death or starve to death because of the cold climate and lack of food.

Therefore, the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days.

In my opinion, Yang Xiu and the others are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they are not far from death. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Seeing that he was confident, everyone was relieved.

"Then let's wait, the day when the lord cleans up Yang Xiu and the others."

"I wish that day would come soon, I want to see what happened to Yang Xiu and them."

The crowd laughed and chatted a few more times before leaving.

Hua Xiong got up and went to the secret room of the Military Intelligence Department.

Guo Jia followed suit and handed a letter to Hua Xiong.

"My lord, this is the result of the investigation."

After Hua Xiong took it, he read it carefully, and immediately laughed.

"Fengxiao, you did a good job.

With these things, it would be difficult for Yang Xiu and them not to die! ”

……

The next day's meeting.

The people again discussed the matter of surveying the land mentioned yesterday.

"This matter should not be mentioned again, it is really unwise to work so hard and lose money!"

Fu shook his head and said.

"Yes, but as long as there is an official here, this matter will never be allowed to pass!"

Yang Biao said with a righteous face.

Seeing that they didn't eat oil and salt, Cai Yong, Wang Yun, Xun Yu and others were extremely annoyed, and they couldn't wait to point at them and scold.

But as an official of the imperial court, such an act was undignified, so he had to look at Hua Xiong helplessly.

"Lord, don't you have a way to clean them up?"

Xun Yu whispered.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Hua Xiong stood out confidently.

As soon as he went out like this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

It seems that Hua Xiong is going to make a big move.

Yang Xiu, Yang Biao, Fu Wan and the others quickly exchanged glances, and their expressions became vigilant.

"Fu Guozhang, Yang Taiwei, Yang Master Book, let me ask you, have you made up your mind to obstruct the surveying of land?"

"Not bad."

Yang Biao said lightly,

"This move is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and now is the time of the autumn harvest, if it is because of the measurement of the land, it affects the people's harvest, it is a great crime!"

When he said the four words "great crime", his eyes squinted at Hua Xiong.

That means that if you Huaxiong are not interested, you will be guilty of great evil.

Hua Xiong smiled, "I see, I thought that a few adults were selfish, so they blocked the measurement of the land." ”

"How many of us have the people of the world in our hearts, how can we be selfish?"

"Yes."

"We are not afraid of shadows."

The officials of Yang Biao's faction, you praise yourself every word.

"Really?"

Hua Xiong smiled noncommittally, turned to face Liu Xie,

"Your Majesty, I have a piece of evidence here that can prove that these three adults will obstruct the surveying of the land because of their selfishness!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

"Huaxiong, you don't spew blood!"

Yang Biao glared at Hua Xiong.

"That is, only a villain like you can have selfish intentions!"

"Shameless old thief, I can't wait to eat your flesh alive!"

But no matter how they scolded Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong ignored them.

He handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch beside Liu Xie.

Liu Xie took the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help but make an "ah" sound.

Then he raised his head and looked at Yang Biao and the others with a shocked expression.

Liu Xie's move suddenly made the civil and military officials in the court a little dazed.

What's the situation?

Could it be that Yang Biao and others are really selfish?
