Chapter 262: The Wei Family Falls
Today is the end of the year, the New Year's footsteps are quietly coming, the whole Luoyang is lively again, the market in Dongcheng District, full of people from the surrounding counties to buy New Year's goods. Most of them returned with a full load, but the faces of the people had a trace of melancholy that could not be dissolved, and some people couldn't help but sigh a little, looking at the empty grain bags, I am afraid that this New Year will not be so good.
"Look, what's in that car?"
"It's food, a lot of food," one of the people exclaimed in surprise.
The people rushed to the grain truck, and the front was surrounded by the people. There were more than a dozen soldiers with spears standing around the grain and grass, and the people did not dare to make a mistake for a while. I saw the leading official standing a wooden sign next to the grain cart.
"Corn, two hundred dollars for rice," a common man read out loud.
"Really fake" A common man didn't believe it, but there were 600 yuan of rice in the grain store not far away.
"Of course it's true, please line up to buy food, don't be crowded," the official said.
"I buy one bucket" "I want three buckets"
There are more than a dozen places to sell grain in Luoyang City, and in less than half a day, the people of Luoyang City have bought grain, and what makes people wonder is that these grains seem to be transported into Luoyang from the West City Gate in an endless stream, and the grain merchants in Luoyang saw this situation, and also lowered the price, stabilizing the grain price in Luoyang at about 200 yuan for rice.
"Where did so much food come from?" a man asked the people around him carefully.
"I heard that it was the hussar general who broke the Yellow Turban Army and captured it, and also captured the surrendered Wei family, a total of several hundred people"
"Who is the hussar general?" asked the people around him.
"The hussar general is the hussar general" was obviously asked, and for a while he didn't know how to answer.
"Hussar General Dong Chong, the elder brother of the county lord of Huanting, and the nephew of the current queen mother" An elderly man came over and explained to you, and these people knew. It turned out that there was also a hussar general in Luoyang City.
At this time, in the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Hong was in a good mood, looking at the report sent by Dong Chong, not to mention how happy. But he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with an unkind face.
"Hedong Wei family, you have made such a big mistake, what do you think you should do?"
Yang Biao and Yuan Feng glanced at each other, and Yuan Feng nodded slightly.
"The reason why the Hedong Wei family is the Marquis of Changping is the reason why they take refuge in the Yellow Turban is also because they have no choice but to act cheaply, and ask Your Majesty to open up the net," Yang Biao said.
"What does the general think," Liu Hong asked again, looking at He Jin again.
He Jin was holding back a fire in his heart, and it was unfavorable for him to go to Hebei to fight, and when he returned to Luoyang, he was restrained by Dong Zhuo. Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to impeach Dong Zhuo with the family, but this Wei family had such a thing, and he was arrested by the hussar general and sent to Luoyang.
This makes He Jin very passive, their He family and the Wei family have in-laws, the last time the Wei family went to the hussar general to kidnap the county lord, he was pressed down, this time I want to be good, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"The minister thinks that the first evil is to punish him, this is just Wei Qi's personal behavior in revenge on the hussar general, and it has nothing to do with the entire Wei family," He Jin said stubbornly.
"The last general thinks that it is inappropriate, and he has done such a great rebellion, which has led to the fall of Hedong, and he should punish his three clans to deter Xiaoxiao" Dong Zhuo hurriedly knelt down and said.
No one hates the Wei family more than Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was the Taishou of Hedong before, and he was controlled by the Wei family everywhere, relying on the general behind him, and he didn't take him as the Taishou of Hedong in his eyes at all, because of this Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wei Ji did it more thoroughly, and completely cleaned Dong Zhuo's business for several years, not to mention, Dong Zhuo's more than 2,000 soldiers left in Hedong were all killed, and only Niu Fu fled to Luoyang.
He Jin's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, such a good opportunity, no one would let it go. couldn't help but look at Yuan Feng, hoping that he could help the Wei family say something.
"The fall of Hedong is because Niu Fu, the commander of Hedong, lightly advanced the enemy and lost his troops, which led to a loss of control, and Niu Fu should be dismissed and investigated."
Yuan Feng led the war to Niu Fu and used Wei to save Zhao.
A group of ministers echoed one after another, but Dong Zhuo was still a little lonely. Liu Hong looked at the few people who had been silent in the distance, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, so several veterans on Wang Gang's side chose to be silent.
Not only Liu Hong was puzzled, but even Yang Biao and Yuan Feng, including the general He Jin, couldn't figure it out, what happened to these old guys today, how could such a good opportunity to fall into the well be let go in vain.
"Young Master Wang, what do you think should be" Wang Gang had no choice but to name him.
Weichen thought that the general was right, in recent years, there have been wars and turmoil, people's livelihood has withered, and it is contrary to the way of heaven to kill again. The first evil is to punish him," Wang Yun stepped forward and said.
Wang Yun's words surprised everyone, and they thought they had heard it wrong.
"Tai Changqing thinks so" Liu Hong glared at Wang Yun with some dissatisfaction and looked at Cai Yong next to him.
"Leaving Lou Zhiming, the ingenuity of the public losing the son, not according to the rules, can not be a square circle. In troubled times, we should use heavy codes to deter the heart of disobedience, the Wei family is a rebellion, if it is easily forgiven, wouldn't everyone follow suit" Cai Yong finished speaking, and there was silence in the lobby.
The reason why Liu Hong asked Cai Yong at the end was because Wei Qi was Cai Yong's student, and Cai Yong would not speak for Wei Yong no matter what, this was when Liu Hong made the final decision.
"Spread my will, the Hedong Wei family, the world received the emperor's favor, but he didn't want to serve the court, colluded with the yellow scarf, and intended to rebel. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, his crimes should be punished, and his ancestors should be meritorious, spare him from death, and send him to the state. All property shall be confiscated. The first evil guard coveted and beheaded the public"
Liu Hong finally chose to compromise, which was considered to give the family and the general a little face, saving the lives of hundreds of people in the Wei family, but sending them to Jiaozhou.
When everyone dispersed, Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang.
"Ziyi has matured a lot this time, and he didn't do anything in Hedong"
"General Zhenbei has done this beautifully, if he does it in Hedong, then the hussar general is afraid that it will be a lot of trouble, and now no one will talk about the hussar general, as long as the hussar general leads the army outside, the general can no longer do anything with him. As for the Wei family, it doesn't really matter," Zhang Rang said with a smile.
"It's also said, a Wei family can't make any waves" Liu Hong was in a good mood.
"Who will send the Wei family's property to confiscate, and who will Yanchi send to manage it," Zhang Rang asked cautiously. This is a very oily thing, and even Zhang Rang is a little excited.
"Since Ziyi likes money, let the hussar general check it and hand it over to him, let him get another 2,000 war horses to come to Luoyang, as for Yanchi, send someone to keep an eye on it, and the matter of making up money should also be fastened" Liu Hong explained again.
"No"
Zhang Rang naturally knew that the thing to make money was to sell some more titles.
"It's still the Queen Mother's far-reaching view, and accompanying me to Yongshou Palace also makes the Queen Mother happy"
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he walked down from the dragon chair and walked towards the Yongshou Palace.
