Zhang Liang killed himself at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

Li Shousu, a scholar of the Guanwen Temple, was ousted from the court.

The Imperial City Division confiscated millions of family wealth, nearly 10,000 acres of fields, dozens of mansions and villas from Zhang Liang's name, and his 500 righteous sons and 3,000 false grandchildren were also stripped of their official ranks, removed from their military status, and moved to Anxi and Guangnan Changliu Tuntian, where they were not allowed to be hired again for life, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains for life, and their fields and properties were all confiscated into the official.

The Li family of Zhaojun was also seriously implicated in this case, Li Shousu was dismissed, and was demoted to Hainan Island by an edict of the emperor as the county Sima. Many of the children of the Li family of Zhaojun who were officials in the court were also implicated, and even the children of those who were still studying in the internal government and the prince of the country or were guards were also expelled.

"I'm confused."

In the dead of night, in the hot spring pool in the Lishan Hot Spring Palace, the hot spring water is still warm and comfortable, and the mist is thick, but the emperor is very troubled by soaking in the pool.

"You said that I am not thin on Wang Junkuo, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Liang, Fu Gongyi, etc., they have followed me for many years, and they can be regarded as born and died. They were also born in the early years, Wang Junkuo was an orphan before, and he was a horse thief in his early years. Although Liu Wuzhou's family is rich, he is only a small landlord and strong, Zhang Liang's family was poor before, and he was just a scoundrel when he was young. Fu Gongqi grew up watching me, and used to herd sheep for Uncle Wang, who was next door to my house, because he stole sheep for Du Fuwei to eat, and he almost lost his life. ”

They followed Luo Cheng, born and died, fought in the east and west, earned military merits little by little, improved their official positions little by little, and changed their lives.

By the time they rebelled, which one was not a duke and which one was not a wealthy family?

In fact, it is impossible to accumulate so many belongings with their normal rewards, but although the emperor knows it, he also treats these heroes and brothers very favorably, and sometimes he does not delve into it.

For example, Zhang Liang used to use the funds he gave him to secretly engage in business and smuggling, which was originally for Luo Cheng, but he would secretly withhold part of the income, and the emperor only didn't know, after all, the water was clear and there were no fish.

When Fu Gongqi was in Jiangnan, after the battle was captured, he would give himself a little more spoils, and Luo Cheng didn't say anything. Even after Fu Gongqi attacked the city, he wanted to take the opportunity to buy some industries, and do something half strong and half buy for those old officials and old tycoons, as long as it was not too much, Luo Cheng would not see it.

The emperor took good care of these old brothers, in fact, he took good care of all his brothers, and the emperor pulled them with all his might, becoming a new aristocratic class.

Which of them does not have a large amount of land in their hands, which upstart has not recruited the stewards and servants of the old nobles everywhere in recent years, and accepted many merchants, and which nouveau riche has no other commercial transactions at home. In addition to doing business on their own, they also cooperate with many businessmen, but this cooperation is sometimes only in name, and then they can get dry shares, provide protection of their status, and enjoy a lot of dividends.

"Why aren't they satisfied?"

Luo Cheng couldn't figure it out, he was not the kind of emperor who crossed the river and demolished the bridge and hid his bow, neither killing heroes nor being harsh. Even now they have begun to seal the nobles, although they are only divided in the most frontier places, but after all, it is a real fief, it can be said that since the Jin Dynasty, which dynasty and which generation, there is such a knighthood system?

Slowly, there is only Juelu, and even the feudal household has gradually become only a number, and the princes have neither real fiefs nor fiefs, and the place names on the titles are only the names of Jilu.

But the Son of Heaven of Great Qin really took out the land to divide it, and even passed it on to them from generation to generation, even if it was to push the favor and divide it, it was still the descendants of the princes who divided the inheritance.

In the soup room, the waiters are all outside the door.

In the soup pool, only the queen accompanied the emperor.

Shan Shi, who was kneading the shoulders for the emperor, just listened quietly and did not reply, although when the emperor was seriously ill some time ago, she had listened to the government, but she was not very interested in court politics.

All she values is her husband's love and the growth of her children.

"Binbin, you say, why is that?" Luo Cheng turned around, held her hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't understand why this is happening, think about it, maybe it's too fast, and the wealth is easy, and maybe it's not in line with their expectations."

"Wealth is too fast, and expectations don't match?" It sounds like a contradictory sentence, but it seems to make sense when you think about it, Wang Junkuo and other rebels used to be indeed humble, but now in just over ten years, they have been named princes, and each of them is so young, they themselves are fighting with Luo Cheng to fight the world, and finally they succeeded in creating the Sui Dynasty rebellion to have all this today.

Perhaps they felt that it was not difficult to rebel. Or maybe they feel that what the emperor gave them is far from enough.

"The mentality is not correct."

Wang Junkuo, Liu Wuzhou, Fu Gongyi, and Zhang Liang, all of whom used to be their hardcore henchmen, are now rebelling one after another. Not to mention, the rebellion of people such as Dou Rail, eldest grandson Anye, Li Xiaochang and others.

Dou Liang and others rebelled, Luo Cheng didn't feel strange, nor was he afraid of worrying, they were not the core of Luo Cheng's group in the first place. But the rebellion of Wang Junkuo, Zhang Liang and others made Luo Cheng unable to sleep.

When fighting the world, they are one with themselves, and the sword they condense into is invincible and invincible. But now that he has only been in the world for a few years, his core has begun to fall apart, which is the foundation of Luo Cheng's rule.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that in fact, Your Majesty is not treating these heroes badly, but treating them too well. The concubines also know that Your Majesty misses the old feelings, but sometimes, you have to talk about the rules. ”

"The concubine has also started to study in recent years and has learned a lot of truths. Once, Zilu asked Confucius, 'Wei Jun treats the son and governs, what will the son do first?' Confucius replied, "It must be rightly named!" If the name is not right, the word is not good; If you don't go your way, you won't get it. ’”

"There are no rules, there is no square circle, the heroes should be rewarded for their merits, but the guilty should also be punished, such as the king and the king rebelled, but His Majesty was not punished with his old heroes, this is a very bad start."

Shan Binbin thought for a while and said, "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty has done a little better to the old brothers who fought the world together, such as today, the old nobles and the old scholars have been purged and suppressed, and the new nobles in the court and the central government are already very powerful, it can be said that the government and the opposition are all these old brothers of His Majesty, all of whom are military upstarts, and this is actually another Guanlong noble." ”

"Your Majesty is still in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, but there are already Wang Junkuo, Zhang Liang, Fu Gongqi and other heroes who have rebelled, let me ask, if Your Majesty inherits the foundation of Daqin after a hundred years, will he still be able to control these military nobles?"

The emperor was shocked and remained silent.

Does the Great Qin Imperial Court really want to monopolize the military nouveau riche?
