A few days later, the court meeting.

Shang Rong came out of the queue and said, "The minister has a performance." ”

"Performance. ”

Shang Rong said: "There are reports from all over the world, saying that it is Your Majesty.... His Majesty punished a large number of nobles, which aroused the indignation of people and gods, and the nobles everywhere were already dissatisfied. ”

The nobles of Chaoge dare not speak out, but the nobles in other places are sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and this time it caused a great turmoil in the aristocratic class.

Although the vast majority of people don't dare to act rashly at this time, there are always some people who want to do something secretly.

For example, the nobles of Li County.

Li County was originally under the rule of Li Hou, Li Hou was cut down, Li Di was changed to Li County, and Jiang Wenhuan was appointed as the county guard, and Jiang Wenhuan repelled Rong Di with his own strength.

There are a lot of problems in Keli County, Jiang Wenhuan took office without any officials, and he himself is not a person who is proficient in government affairs, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he doesn't care.

The governance of the entire county has to rely on the hands of the nobles, that is, Jiang Wenhuan's brave reputation makes these nobles dare not make too many moves, and the bones and scum of others are gone.

And the nobles of Li County are the nobles with the greatest power in the territory of the Great Shang.

And because of its proximity to Xiqi, many people have different intentions and are ready to move.

Shang Rong said: "The Marquis of Li County has written a letter, and it is in......humane to punish the nobles so badly."

Li Jun Cheng is naturally not an ordinary person, this Hou Yan can be said to be the representative of the nobles of Li County, Hou can be traced back to Cangjie, Cangjie's original surname is Hou Gang, the name Jie, and the descendants of later generations take Hou as the clan.

At the beginning of the year, the Hou family also sent people to the court because of the ancestral hall, but the money sent was not much, after all, Cangjie is not like others, as the ancestor who invented writing, his status is not low.

Therefore, they are very rich, and they are old nobles, with a large population in the clan, and they have great influence in Li County, this Hou Yan is the head of the Hou family, and he is also a rare aristocratic official in the official system of big business.

Of course, Hou Yan also knew that the king and the nobles did not deal with each other, he used to be more cautious, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and he was conscientious and conscientious in helping Jiang Wenhuan deal with political affairs, and he did not do anything out of the ordinary.

But this time, it was obvious that when it was time for the showdown, King Su made such a move on the nobles, I am afraid that it would not be long before he planned to declare war on Xiqi, he had to do something, but he was not in a hurry to stand in line, he had to see which side gave more benefits first.

Therefore, Hou Yan directly wrote to denounce the ruthlessness of the king to the nobles, and said that the nobility is the foundation of a country.

After listening to Shang Rong's recital, the ministers couldn't help but be silent.

There is Jiang Wenhuan in Li County, so you don't have to pay too much attention to the alien races on the border, but the nobles inside are a big hidden danger.

The Hou family behind Hou Yan does have the confidence to play.

After all, the Hou clan was originally a nobleman under the command of the princes, which means that they are different from the nobles of Chaoge, not only have they not experienced multiple weakenings, but also.... Military power.

Private soldiers, coupled with thousands of years of accumulation, and the name after Cangjie, these are the foundation of their foothold, and they can even become a small force without relying on anyone.

Even the Li Hou of the past dynasties had to win over the Hou family in order to gain a firm foothold.

Such a big aristocracy makes people have to pay attention to it.

Sub suffered.... Very happy.

That's what he craves!

Hou Yan almost scolded the faint king openly in the song!

However, the ministers couldn't figure out the attitude of the king, and Shang Rong hesitated again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this matter is ...... Don't make a rash decision, Li County has always been very sparse, and the ministers don't know much about Li County, so you can send an important member of the court to Li County to investigate a little, if it is..."

He didn't dare to say it too clearly, if Hou Yan was really radical, I am afraid he would have to compromise one or two, it was an eventful time, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy, although Jiang Wenhuan was in charge, the Hou family would not rashly rebel, but what kind of enemy behavior would always outweigh the losses.

Zishou looked dissatisfied, and said, "Why do you want to investigate a little? I decided to issue an order to reprimand Hou Yan, who is he? But Jiang Wenhuan has no opinion, why is he dissatisfied?"

"If a nobleman commits a crime, it is a punishment, and it is a matter of punishment, how can he have objections to a border county guard? Otherwise, what is the use of me deliberately setting up a criminal department and Dali Temple? The Hou clan is powerful, and I naturally know it, but if I tolerate them, it will inevitably make them secretly swell, and then breed rebellion, therefore, not only to reprimand, but also to ask for guilt, if they obediently admit their guilt, then it will be fine, if they do not admit their guilt, then they will send troops, cooperate with Jiang Wenhuan, and arrest him. ”

The son is triumphant, nothing else, just do it.

Isn't it dissatisfied? If you don't accept it, you will be scolded, and if you are not convinced, you will be beaten after scolding!

As for the consequences, what are the consequences? Why should we care about the consequences?

The ministers and others looked puzzled.

This is also too ...... It's too radical.

But this must be in line with Jiang Wenhuan's thoughts, is there something wrong? Just beat him.

Zishou glanced at the ministers with a little meaning, and said, "What do you think?"

Shang Rong said in fear: "Your Majesty, there are many inappropriate moves, Hou Yan is just a trick, even if the words are a little.... Something is wrong, and it's not a big deal. ”

Yang Ren couldn't help but say: "Yushitai has also heard a lot of complaints recently, such a severe punishment, it does make many people dissatisfied, if the world is turbulent because of this, it may not be a good thing, Hou Yan is not a big crime, and it is more special, if only because of this, scolding or even asking for guilt, transferring troops and sending generals, it is really inappropriate, the minister thinks that if His Majesty is intended, it is better to slowly try it." ”

Among the ministers in the palace, there really didn't agree to it.

After all, the king has always been making a move against the nobles of Chaoge, and for the nobles from other places, at most, he used the ancestral shrine pit to make some money and say something to move the remains of his ancestors, and he didn't really do it.

Once this is done, it is equivalent to the king of Xuan officially stretching out his hand to the song, and it is not to blame for the huge earthquake in the world.

Although Zishou frowned, he was overjoyed in his heart, and it was good not to agree!

"Do you think it's inappropriate?"

"Severe punishment according to law is my will, and the new law is also a rule that has been set a long time ago, everything is legal and reasonable, since it is legal and reasonable, then I should not back down, Hou Yan's performance this time is nothing more than to use the punishment to test my tone and whether I will give in. ”

"I know that there are many difficulties in connivance, but the new law has been established, and it is the foundation of the country, so how can I give in? If I connive at Hou Yan's repeated discussions and nonsense, then where is my face, and where is the law?"

"The law is on the top, and if it is before the legislation is enacted, it can be discussed, and even regressed, as the previous kings did, and it is not impossible to be accommodating to the nobles, but since the new law has been established, it should be done according to the law. ”

Zishou looked silent one by one, and then looked at Li Jing, this is not any deep meaning, mainly because Li Jing's bald head is too dazzling, and he didn't wake up until noon today, so it is the noon dynasty, and the noon sun shines into the hall, bright and reflective.
