However, Liu Han wronged Ju Yu this time, Ju Yu didn't dare to collect money on this, but, looking at the silver in front of him, he pointed out the way to Sheng Huai.

Ju Yi put down the teacup and said softly: "Shopping malls and officialdom are actually similar, pay attention to harmony, pay attention to harmony, and light and dust, many friends and many roads, people who are too upright, they look very good, but in fact, they can't go far." ”

Liu Han smiled slightly: "My lord's words are from the bottom of my heart, and this is also cool for them, don't we also have to be a fox and a fake tiger, hehe, they, they didn't think of us when they ate meat, but they remembered us when they drank cold water, there is such a good thing in the world." ”

Ju Yu couldn't help laughing, of course he knew what this meant, he appreciated it in his heart, thought about it, and decided to order him and sell it first.

"There are some things that can be done in officialdom, but there are some things that must not be stretched out. ”

Liu Han was slightly stunned, and asked for advice: "Please also ask the boss for advice." ”

Ju Yi smiled slightly: "In the officialdom, it is common for people to exchange favors, and it is also common for guests to give gifts, but it is not a matter of concealment, such a thing as collecting money, the old man has done it, some silver, it is impossible not to accept it, and if it is not collected, it will become an enemy, but some silver can never be collected, when the matter is clear, the silver cannot be collected, and if it is collected, it will lead to trouble." ”

Liu Han was thoughtful, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be quite embarrassed.

Ju Yi shook his head slightly, and Liu Han smiled bitterly: "My lord, I'm a little confused now." ”

"What's so confusing about this, Zimin, you are a smart person," Ju Yi smiled: "Sheng Huai is not busy going to see them first, Liangliang is also good, you pry Wei Zhen's mouth open first, but the confession is not busy reporting first, but through the way of Hu Benwei, directly report to the palace, there will definitely be an order in the palace, and when the news from the palace comes down, you will make a decision, in this way, you can be invincible." ”

Liu Han didn't answer immediately, bowed his head and calculated, and said from his heart, this sentence is really not a lie, at least in Wei Zhen's case, no matter what the purpose, at least it didn't harm him, and it was in line with his plan.

"Thank you for your advice, I know what to do. Liu Han got up and thanked him, the two looked at each other and smiled, in the room, for a while, they were happy and very harmonious.

Liu Han asked people to send wine, and the two of them simply went to the yard to drink and chat, and they didn't talk about the case, just chatted about some wind and snow, in late spring and early summer, inside and outside Yangzhou City, flowers were in full bloom, and the air was filled with all kinds of flowers, which was intoxicating.

In the night, there is a faint silk bamboo, the painting boat slowly wanders in the city, the beautiful women in the boat dance, and the high-rollers from all walks of life embrace the prostitutes and laugh, as if nothing has changed.

Liu Han found that Ju Yi was very familiar with the Qinglou in Yangzhou, and the Oiran of each Qinglou knew everything about their appearance and skills.

"This Yangzhou's green building, compared to the imperial capital, each has its own strengths, the imperial capital Qinglou brings together the characteristics of the green building from all over the country, it can be described as a hundred flowers in full bloom, this Yangzhou green building, singing and dancing are longer than the imperial capital, even if the imperial capital of Baiyi Garden, can not be said to win, to say exquisite, this Yangzhou is probably a little better, however, the imperial capital gathers the wealth of the world, towering weather, non-Yangzhou is comparable, the same is true of the green building, Baiyi Garden, Qingyin Building, non-Yangzhou Qinglou is comparable, however, Jiangnan women, soft and lovely, but there is a different flavor. ”

Liu Han smiled, to be honest, in the imperial capital, I often go to Baiyi Garden, but after arriving in Yangzhou, except for the time when I was forced to Jinse Tower by Saiyim, I really never entered the Qinglou.

"What's the matter, my brother hasn't seen Yangzhou Qinglou yet?" Ju Yi noticed Liu Han's strange expression, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, Liu Han was embarrassed, Ju Yi shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Brother, people are not romantic. ”

"He can still be called a teenager," Liu Han was still ashamed: "The invitation they sent today said that it was in Jinse Building, this Jinse Building, I have been to it once, but it is exquisite." ”

Ju Yi took a sip of wine with a smile and put down the glass: "The piano of the purple smoke girl in Jinselou is excellent, but unfortunately, there is no dance to match it." ”

"Spring is in the heavy building, I was drunk with a tortoise feast singing and dancing," the sentence was listening intently, but Liu Han stopped abruptly, and sighed long: "I'm old, I don't have the same youthful romance as before, brother, you don't know, I was in the Western Regions, Wuhuan Country, and my younger brother was ten daughters overnight, and there was a romantic battle." ”

Ju Yu laughed and gave a thumbs up: "My brother is amazing, amazing, and the old man also had a record of six daughters in one night." ”

The two of them laughed at each other, half loudly, Liu Han sighed again: "The victory outside the Saiwai, the imperial court is considered to be a relief from worry, it is estimated that the Hu people can also be stable for a period of time, the imperial court has time to implement the new tax system, but, it is said that this is a good thing, but why do I feel that I am not sure in my heart?" "It's right not to be sure," Ju Yu also sighed, slightly drunk, and gestured and said: "The new tax system looks very good, the court can increase taxes, and the ordinary people are not damaged, but the problem is, there are always people who are damaged, who is damaged?

The Shi clan is the pillar of the world, the leader of the Shilin, the Shi clan is damaged, how can they give up, in the future, the court attack and defense will be more intense, so, people, in the future, we will be thorns step by step. ”

Liu Han seemed to be a little surprised, but he was saying in his heart, I'm afraid it's Gu Wei who is thorny every step of the way, you are occupying the pit and not, and I am wandering outside, everything is done by Gu Wei.

Ju Yi looked at Liu Han drunkenly, feeling that this guy still had too little reading, and he didn't know how powerful the scholar clan was, and even with the Great Zhou, I don't know how many powerful emperors wanted to weaken the privileges of the scholar clan, and in the end they all ended up dying.

The gentry are not so easy to mess with.

"Do you know the oath of the Taizu?" asked the sentence.

Liu Han shook his head, in fact, he knew, Lao Huang had said it, but it was nothing to pretend to be shallow at this time.

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, Taizu raised troops, the initial difficulties were many, and it was easy to occupy Yongzhou, but three times to send troops to the Central Plains, all returned with feathers, and then Taizu and the Central Plains Shi family, on the shore of Luoshui, swore that the Yan family and the Shi clan shared the world. ”

Speaking of this, Ju Yi glanced at Liu Han and said meaningfully: "Everyone in the world knows this sentence, but there is still a second half of this sentence. ”

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "The second half of the sentence?"

"If the descendants of the Yan family violate this oath, the world will punish them. He sighed.

Liu Han bowed his head silently, and said in a sentence: "This new tax system has weakened the rights of the scholars, and it is not known how the scholars will react, so far, only a few Gu Yu and Zhang families in Jiangnan have appeared, and what about the other scholars?

"I also feel quite wondering, why is this Wang Ze still in Yangzhou? Could it be that he is representing the Wang family?" When Liu Han heard Wang Ze, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and immediately asked.

Ju Yu nodded slightly, this Liu Han is smart: "I heard that you defeated the Wang family several times in the imperial capital. ”

Liu Han nodded, and said with a smile: "Do you think that the Wang family is just like this?" ”

Liu Han didn't speak, pretending to be ashamed, and sighed: "The Wang family has been in Jizhou all these years, and there is a lack of people in the center of the court, so many people have forgotten the Wang family, but this Wang family is a behemoth, this Wang family has produced seven queens, the queens of Taizong Wuzong are all daughters of the Wang family, and there have been more than a dozen prime ministers and Taishi Shangshu Order, and the disciples are all over the court and the opposition, and the background is thick, unparalleled in the world, and even the royal Yan family can't compare." ”

Liu Han laughed silently, and sighed: "You just came back, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, I don't know how powerful the Wang family is, the Wang family probably underestimated you, I didn't expect your cultivation to be so high, so I suffered a loss." ”

Liu Han disagreed, and in his heart, he didn't agree, in order to deal with himself, the Wang family dispatched the fisherman Jueming, both of whom are middle-grade grandmasters, how can it be said that they underestimated themselves, but they didn't expect their hole cards.

Ju Yi looked at Liu Han with pity, and felt that this person was really a pity, with high cultivation, strong understanding, understanding of interests and disadvantages, and knowing advance and retreat, if he hadn't offended the Wang family, he would definitely have a great future in the officialdom, but unfortunately, if he offended the Wang family, he might not be able to do anything in the officialdom in the future.

Liu Han didn't feel anything, he didn't think about developing in officialdom, finding that person, killing that person, and then finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, living well, and seeing if he could find a way to return to the original world, there was no way to go back, in this world, he had a beautiful wife and concubines, and it was not bad to live with them for a lifetime.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Qiao's invitation came, inviting him to the banquet that night, Liu Han didn't pick it up himself, let Han Cheng pick it up, and then asked Han Cheng to tell the person who came that he was not in Yangzhou, and he would talk about it when he came back.

Liu Han concentrated on interrogating Wei Zhen again, and for three consecutive days, Wei Zhen finally spat out, and explained to more than a dozen magistrates and court officials.

"This old fox is still hidden. Ma Ye looked at the confession and couldn't help but scold.

Liu Han sighed, glanced at the confession casually, and ordered: "Copy two copies, and hand them over to Wei Zhen's handprint." ”

Seeing this, Ma Ye asked in a low voice, "There is no news in the palace yet?"

Liu Han nodded and sighed: "It seems that the imperial court is also in trouble." ”

Ma Ye came to him silently, looking at the red glow in the sky and the plum blossoms swaying in the glow, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This potato is getting hotter and hotter!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"They're all thieves!"

"Thief!

The emperor's angry roar sounded in the imperial study!

Xue Mi, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but be startled, and asked Huang Gonggong at the door with his eyes, Huang Gonggong bowed slightly at him, Xue Mi put his heart at ease and went in quietly.

The ground was full of paper, Zhang Meng hooked his waist to pick it on the ground, Xue Mi hurriedly put down the song, helped pick it up, and asked with a smile: "Who is the emperor angry about, who is so bold and dares to make the emperor angry?"

Zhang Meng said while tidying up: "Why should the emperor be angry, the world has been suffering for a long time, and if you want a banquet in Haiqinghe, you have to take your time." ”

"I'm Da Jin, I'm Da Jin," the emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak, and only after half a sound did he sigh deeply: "There are so many rats in the City Fox Society!"

"Let's think about what to do. Zhang Meng said, stepping out of a figure from the side, Xue Mi noticed that it turned out that Gonggong Mu was also there.

"Your Majesty," Gonggong Mu bowed sullenly, and there didn't seem to be any waves: "Mr. Zhang is right, the grain depot case has now been basically investigated, and the imperial court needs to come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty, what's the use of being angry with them, this city fox society rat can't be caught, the grain depot case has been basically investigated so far, the implicated court officials, royal relatives, and scholars are very many, once it is thoroughly investigated, the world will be shaken, how to deal with this, we need to be cautious. ”

The emperor was even more angry, and Gonggong Mu sent the confession made by Liu Han to the palace on a fast ride of eight hundred miles, obviously, this confession was the original confession, and not even a word was changed, including the words of Wei Zhen's grandson in private, which were not deleted.

The emperor walked back and forth in the house irritably, his face was pale, he suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Meng and Xue Yu, but didn't say anything, shook the sleeves of his robe, and walked back and forth again, completely losing his image.

Xue Mi had never seen the emperor like this, he was very nervous, trembling and afraid to speak, while Zhang Meng was very worried, wanting to persuade but not knowing how to speak.

Father-in-law Mu was no different from before, still expressionless, bowing his head and eyebrows, ready to obey the emperor's orders at any time.

"What do you say?"

The Emperor stood abruptly and looked up at the few people, and the three of them felt a surge of anger rushing over their faces, and the aura was so strong that it was suffocating.

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and looked at Xue Yumu's father-in-law, neither of them spoke, he knew that he could only speak first.

"The big victory outside the Saiwai, the big trouble has passed, we have time to deal with these things, the emperor, the grass people think that this case is not over yet, first deal with these things that should be investigated, arrest those who should be arrested, and raid the house. ”

Xue Mi thought about it for a while, and said tentatively: "Is the scope too big, this copy will implicate a lot of people, the minister thinks, first arrest a few big ones, and let them pay a fine." ”

The emperor's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, his brows were deeply furrowed, and the moment he saw the confession, his reaction was to arrest all these moths, but the officials of the gate valve family and the court involved in this, and even the royal family, such a simple catch, how do the people of the world view the royal family?

Several of the original virtuous kings, even the king of Taiyuan, who had just won a great victory, were implicated in them, and even they were investigated and punished? How could he explain to the people of the world.

But let these thieves go! These moths! He was not reconciled!

"Tell me!"

The emperor stood in front of Gonggong Mu, who looked up at the emperor with a cloudy gaze.

"The old slave thought that the check was small and magnified. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me clearly, how to grasp the small magnification?"

Father-in-law Mu didn't speak, took out a copy of the book from his bosom, and sent it to the emperor.

"This is Liu Han's opinion, he didn't dare to go directly to His Majesty, so he sent it to the old slave through the Tiger Benwei channel. ”

The emperor didn't want to see it, so he sneered: "He knows how to be tricky, and he can't offend people left and right, hmph, you just choose the main meaning and say it, I won't look at it." ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys. Father-in-law Mu bowed his head and replied, this is not a note, but a handling suggestion sent by Liu Han, he read it several times, hesitated for a long time, and then dared to take it out.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, Lord Xue, Liu Han proposed three ways to deal with it in this proposal, three strategies in the upper, middle and lower, and the lower policy, all the officials involved in the case, the royal family, and the clan relatives, will be arrested, and how to deal with it, how to deal with it."

In the middle of the policy, the royal family is outside, and the other official families involved in the case will be arrested.

On the best policy, except for the Jiangnan and the transfer envoy officials, the other official families will not be arrested, and the merchants involved in the case will be arrested, and the house should be raided. ”

The emperor's brows stretched slightly, Xue Yu's heart moved, Liu Han was his ally, and immediately interjected: "Since it is three strategies, naturally each has its own advantages and disadvantages, has he explained in detail." ”

Gonggong Mu glanced at him, Xue Mi's face did not change, and there was actually a little worry in his expression, but when he looked closely, there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Liu Han also explained in the letter that the advantage of the next policy is that it is powerful, can shake the officialdom, sweep away the decadent wind of officialdom, the disadvantage is that there are too many implications, it is not easy to judge, and some things are not very clear even to Wei Zhen, especially the affairs of Jizhou and Qingzhou, these are all operated by Tian Ning, Wei Zhen just listened to what Tian Ning said, and this way will implicate the royal family and damage the royal prestige.

The advantages and disadvantages of the middle policy, similar to the upper policy, the only thing is that it does not implicate the royal family, but the problem still exists.

The best policy, Liu Han explained the best strategy in detail, he first explained Wei Zhen's operation methods, Wei Zhen They did not directly interact with the wealthy family or the royal family, but after negotiating, they sold the goods to the merchants under the protection of the family clan, and after these merchants sold it, they handed over the silver to the family clan.

Therefore, Liu Han believes that instead of chasing the family clan and causing chaos in the court, it is better to take this knife and force them to implement a new tax system, but for those merchants, it is necessary to deal with them severely. ”

After Grandpa Mu explained, the emperor faced out of the window and was silent, and the imperial study was silent for a while.

As far as the officials and clans involved in this confession are concerned, it makes people feel shocked when they look at it, if according to the laws of the imperial court, not only will these be arrested, but even their clansmen's protégés and disciples will be implicated and dismissed, so the imperial court may be empty.

Such a big case!

Even the emperor felt tricky!
