Wang Xin's attitude towards the Yi three clans is very firm, and there is never a shortage of people who sacrifice one person to make the whole family happy.

Under Wang Xin's edict, the embroidered envoy soon took down all the noble families involved in the case, and those Haoqiang who contributed with these families were also arrested.

These powerful men followed several noble families to mine silver ore, smelt silver collars, and contribute to their efforts. Although they did not mint the silver dollars directly, they did most of the work.

This counterfeit silver dollar case is the first counterfeit money case since he ascended the throne, and the royal family has a clear understanding of how harmful counterfeit money is.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the chaos of the countries, the financial resources of various countries were poor, so they minted a large number of small coins and lead coins, which were of very poor quality, and forced the people to barter in the end.

Then those nobles also took the opportunity to make huge profits, and the price of food soared, and the people were poor, so they had to go to the wealthy families to live as slaves.

In order to deter those nobles, officials, and heroes, Wang Xin imposed severe punishment on them. As for whether this kind of harsh punishment will harm the people? What crimes can ordinary people commit?

Those who raze the three tribes and punish the nine tribes are going to commit the big sin in their turn? This kind of big crime is not qualified to be committed by those nobles, officials, and heroes!

And whether it is a major crime such as the Yi San Clan or the Nine Clans, it basically does not involve ordinary people. The three Yi clans are only involved in those who do not have five suits, and the slaves in their families will not be involved, and even the concubines will not be involved.

Qianyuan Palace, the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Wang Xin is on the throne, and next to him is the crown prince Wang Che. Below are the prime ministers on the left and right, as well as the three princes such as the general.

At the beginning of today's court meeting, the ministers began to argue about this fake silver dollar case, and it can be said that more than seventy percent of the officials and nobles did not agree with the law of the three tribes and the nine tribes, and the rest of those who did not oppose it only remained silent.

On the main hall, the minister Xiao Kai stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Ming Renjun, the law of the three clans is too harsh, please think twice." ”

"Xiao Qing's words are inappropriate, the three clans of Yi are because of the great crimes they have committed, and they have to do it!" Yushi Wang Shuo said directly. Although Wang Shuo is also surnamed Wang, he has already come out of the five suits, not a member of the royal family, but a public office, but he still has a close relationship with the royal family.

Xiao Kai said: "If one person breaks the law, why do you even have three clans?" Even if you want to implicate the three clans, exile Lingnan, the Western Regions, and Liaodong, why do you want to kill so much? The saint is a benevolent and holy king, and such abuse of punishment is detrimental to His Majesty's sanctity, and the ministers write to advise him, not for those who have sinned, but not for the sake of His Majesty's sacredness. ”

Wang Xin glanced at him and didn't speak, he was not worried about the name Wang Xin behind him, although he was more harsh and harsh on the nobles, officials, and heroes, but he was still a good emperor, which can be proved by Taishi Ling, who was responsible for compiling history.

The history books of the great cadres are not edited by you nobles, officials, and heroes, how much voice do you think you have? Is it up to you to say whether it is holy or not?

You must know that the history book is from my Wang lineage, and Taishi Ling will write impartially, not the Spring and Autumn penmanship of you.

"Xiao Qing said cautiously, are you a historian?" Wang Cheng, the prime minister next to him, glanced at him and said.

Zhang Yan held the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, it is naturally a big crime to privately mint fake silver dollars, and it is enough to behead the offender to show the public, even if it is the law of joint sitting, it should be the mastermind of this case to be beheaded, and his family is assigned to the Western Regions, Lingnan, and Liaodong to fend for themselves, there is no need to raze the three clans and kill the father, mother, and wife." ”

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, the following ministers responded one after another, "What Zhang Qing said is extremely true." Or" the minister seconded. ”

Among the three princes and nine secretaries, in addition to the three princes, seven of the nine kings are against the three tribes, and the officials below are also mostly against it. After all, none of them want to face this kind of law.

Sometimes it is very difficult for the emperor to implement such a law, and most of these laws are just a dead letter. Unless he encounters a powerful and powerful emperor like Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Zhu Hongwu, and Zhu Di.

The Daqian imperial family naturally has this kind of prestige, and whether it can be implemented depends on whether the emperor's character is resolute and decisive.

Wang Xin saw the ministers in the court like this, and slowly stood up from the throne, and the crown prince Wang Che next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help. Wang Xin took two steps, stood in front of the throne, looked at the ministers in the main hall, and said slowly: "The princes came to advise, each for their own reasons, but I didn't hear a word about the people. ”

Seeing the appearance of the ministers, Wang Xin waved his hand directly and said: "There is no need to argue, you will definitely say that you care about the people and know the people's suffering." ”

"But what I want to say is that if you know about the suffering of the people, you will understand the harm of this fake silver dollar."

"Whether it is the leather money, the lead money, the twenty big money, or the current fake silver dollar, it is the people at the bottom who will be hurt in the end."

"Don't say that the nobles, officials, and heroes also lose, in fact, even if they suffer losses, they can easily pass on the losses to the people, they use this money to trade with the people, do the people dare to refuse?" Wang Xin's face was like water, staring at the ministers in the palace quietly, although he did not reprimand, he was not angry, but the pressure on everyone was like substance.

"Don't dare!" Wang Xin said slowly: "Even if the people know the law, how many people dare to report to the officials? ”

There are too many resources that can be used by nobles, heroes, and officials, even if the laws of the great cadres are strict, and there are inspectors of imperial history and embroidery envoys to supervise, there are still these people who break the law in various places.

Even they don't need to make a move at all, they only need to hint a little that these local snakes, who have mastered the vast majority of production and living resources, have too many ways to kill a common person.

Ordinary people are unwilling to fight with them unless they have to.

"Most of you are from Zhu Zi, or a hairpin family, even if you are not clothed and fed, you will not worry about one or two silver dollars, but what about the people? How many silver dollars can you have in a year? ”

"What you need for a meal may be what their family needs for a month, or even more."

"If the little money they have is turned into bad money, small money, fake silver dollars, how will these people live? At that time, they will only have to do the old things. ”

"This time in the case of counterfeit silver coins, didn't they know about the previous supplementary decree? Now that you know that you are still committing crimes, what kind of behavior is this? The sin of deception! Wang Xin said coldly, his eyes swept across the hall.

"I will say it again today, those who privately make fake money, bad money, and fake silver dollars will destroy the three clans!"
