Chapter 043 Protecting the Weak and Killing the Strong
Here Wu Geng gives a dilemma.
Suspicion is nothing, and it can be regarded as a kind of benevolence, but he is obviously unwilling to use it on two groups of people at the same time.
Either it's a brutal meat eater,
Either it's a devastated slave,
Wu Geng's choice couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted to open his eyes for this group of slaves today.
Although people in this era have never heard of "chivalry", looking at his awe-inspiring figure and fighting with reason, they can still feel a power that can convince people's hearts.
Not to mention others, even Yin Jiao, who was standing behind him, also flashed a trace of awe in his eyes.
Bigan felt a little stressed, and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
This pressure not only comes from the eyes of the people around them, but also from behind them.
Because the conversation between the two seems to be-for-tat, but Wu Geng handled it so well, it made people feel that the two of them were not arguing, but acting.
Du Yuanzhen couldn't help but stand up at this time and said, "Our company Tiantai is willing to screen these slaves for Your Majesty......"
On the surface, he seemed to be worrying about Wu Geng, but in fact, he was picking up soft persimmons.
Because the slaves basically have no background, even if they are good people who are killed, how many of them really have backgrounds.
So it's very easy.
On the other hand, if you go to screen the powerful trapped people in the Yili Prison, you are very likely to offend some people, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"You really know how to pick up cheap, the matter is in your Si Tiantai, all of your Si Tiantai are guilty, what qualifications do you have to judge who is guilty and who is not guilty here?"
Du Yuanzhen's face turned pale, and he knelt down and said, "The ministers have a negative grace, please forgive your majesty." ”
Wu Geng scolded angrily: "From now on, all the subordinates of Si Tiantai will be closed to themselves, and they will not be allowed to go out for five days......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Many of Si Tiantai's subordinates hurriedly retreated, and Mei Bo had not yet returned, and the officials who came to force the palace were only two or three kittens.
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to sneak away but not daring, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"If you don't have any opinions, I'll talk about the disposal plan. ”
Seeing that no one dared to make a stubble at the scene, Wu Geng finally said with satisfaction: "From today on, the right of Si Tiantai to brand slaves will be withdrawn, and from now on, if the people of Si Tiantai dare to cast slave seals in private, they will not be spared." ”
The officials of Si Tiantai had already run away, and naturally no one objected to the scene.
Du Yuanzhen and Wang Zhenxi, who were involved in the case, were decided, and their families and Chen Wan's family were reduced to slaves, and they were expelled from Dashang after being branded, and they were pardoned and did not return...... All the family property and land of the relevant persons shall be confiscated ......"
"All slaves sold by the Si Tian Pavilion shall be recovered, and the purchaser shall be fined an amount equal to the amount purchased, and if I can prove my innocence, then I will be acquitted on the spot, and the fine and the slave shall be returned to me......"
"This is the king's opinion, who is for it and who is against?"
This way of dealing with it is simply sloppy, can everyone have no opinion?
But in front of everyone's eyes, and there are lessons from the past of Mei Bo and Bigan, naturally no one dares to raise objections, but they don't put forward any favorable opinions, so they pretend to be dead anyway.
But he said: "The other ministers have no opinion for the time being, but the families of these criminal ministers, since they have been reduced to slaves, why should they be expelled from Chaoge?"
"For they are not qualified to be the king's people...... Do you have any other questions?"
In Wu Geng's plan, these efforts are an important force for his future development, but now that he has not even had the enthronement ceremony, Wu Geng feels that he can't reveal too much for the time being.
Bigan smiled bitterly: "No." ”
"That's good, you discuss it with Shang Rong as soon as possible, and then submit the handling opinions to me for review......
After saying that, he strode towards the palace gate, and an avenue appeared in front of him in an instant, and the residents on both sides of the avenue rushed to their knees to see him off.
After entering the palace gate, Wu Geng immediately got into the carriage.
Fei Zhong and Yin Jiao in the car looked at him with admiration on their faces, this game was too beautiful.
"Fei Zhong, you send a message to Lei Kai, and ask him to release all the families of those heroes who were persuaded to enter the meeting that day, but people can release them, but slaves can't be returned to them......"
"The minister understands, but what is Your Majesty going to do with these slaves?"
Wu Geng said: "I was just about to tell you this, of course we are using these efforts to work, otherwise I can't support so many people, now we haven't copied three families......? Connect with Chen Wanjia's land, and then pull these slaves to work...... I don't have any requirements for these slaves, as long as they can support themselves, but for you...... Fei Aiqing, I hope you can understand one thing, that is, I don't want to follow Chen Wan's old path, do you understand?"
In an uproar, cold sweat flowed down Fei Zhong's forehead: "Minister, minister understands." ”
The carriage returned to Shouxian Palace, You Hun was already waiting inside, and when he saw Wu Geng coming back, he immediately rushed out with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, we have made a fortune, this Du Yuan is really rich...... I've ...... that money."
Wu Geng waved his hand, and said with a nonchalant face: "You don't need to give me the money, you can just prepare ten Huli Pills for me......"
You Hun's smile collapsed suddenly: "Your Majesty, you are really joking, it would be good if you could buy five pieces with that money." ”
"Okay, you buy me five, but I'll get them all in five days. ”
“......”
wocnmd!
In the East Palace, Empress Jiang hugged Yin Jiao with excitement on her face.
"My son, the queen mother thought you had been killed...... Let the queen mother take a good look at ......"
Queen Jiang was concerned about it, so she almost stripped Yin Jiao for inspection.
Yin Jiao also felt tired after walking for this day, and said helplessly at the moment: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry, Wu Geng didn't do anything bad to me." ”
"That's not necessarily, you're still young, but you don't know his sinister and cunning ...... Tell me what he's done since he took you out?"
Looking at Empress Jiang's worried face, Yin Jiao had no choice but to roughly repeat the day's itinerary.
After listening to Yin Jiao's retelling, Empress Jiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and it could even be said to be ruthless: "This Wu Geng is so ruthless, child, you can't be deceived by him...... Not to mention anything else, today he gave you half of the credit in front of the palace gate, ostensibly to let you help him bear part of the pressure, but in fact he is releasing your brotherhood to the outside, and even the wrong signal that you agree with him as the king...... If we can't stop him, those old ministers who are secretly looking forward to your accession to the throne may turn around and join Wu Geng's command......"
It stands to reason that Empress Jiang's analysis is quite reasonable, but because it is the second time I have listened to it, and Yin Jiao is very tired now, she naturally has a feeling of boredom......
