Chapter 381 Don't mess with idlers
With Mo Yuanchang's position, he must be too lazy to deal with these broken things in the court, but he was almost trampled on by someone who could not resist his threshold. One or two of them moved him with emotion and reason, and made the matter very serious.
It seems that if this law is implemented, the whole world will immediately rebel and the country of Great Zhou will also overturn.
Although he felt that these words were a bit alarmist, he was also a little shaken when people kept saying these things this morning.
However, he did not go directly to Tang Weiyi, but first came to Yang Weishang. This old man had been in the officialdom for decades and must have seen clearly than those of him, so he came to Yang Weishang to listen to his opinions and also hide in the leisure time.
"I want you to come forward to persuade Your Majesty."
Yang Weishang shook his head. Those people knew that they would not come forward, so they put their ideas on Mo Yuanchang, hoping that Mo Yuanchang would come forward to stop this matter. It was really a scheming thing.
"Sixth Master, you can also see Your Majesty's new law. How do you feel?"
"It feels? Nothing."
Mo Yuanchang shook his head indifferently and said, "Although the new law has weakened the welfare of the royal family, it has only made them lose their previous status and is not a killing, so I don't think it's bad."
He was originally an extremely lazy person, so he didn't have much feeling about these laws. If the welfare is weakened, it would be weakened. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they are not good, they deserve to starve to death, and he wouldn't bother to worry.
"Ha~ Master Liu is still so open-minded."
Looking at Mo Yuanchang's unchanged temperament for decades, Yang Wei couldn't help but chuckled, and then said, "Since that's the case, then the prince should stop interfering. Your Majesty has the thinking of His Majesty. Although she is young, just about power and conspiracy, I, an old man who has been in the officialdom for decades, may not be able to compare with Your Majesty."
"Now that she has decided to introduce a new law during this period, it must have been carefully considered, so we should not worry about it."
As he said that, Yang Weishang teased Mo Yuanchang and said, "Does Sixth Master think he can see more clearly than me, the old man?"
"You people standing in the court have dark hearts. Can you see clearly if I can see clearly?"
Mo Yuanchang rolled his eyes. He had to have such ability. It was the boss and the fourth brother who fought for the throne back then?
"Forget it, since you said it's okay, I won't care about these things. Drink tea and hide in peace and quiet. I'll go back tonight, so I can save them one or two of them bother me."
Hearing Mo Yuanchang's words, Yang Weishang suddenly moved slightly and asked, "Sixth Master, who has gone to find you today?"
"Just four or five people."
Mo Yuanchang didn't know why Yang Weishang asked this suddenly, and he didn't care. He thought about it and said one by one: "Cao Zhongping, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, Luo Weisong, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and two young ministers, Dali Temple and Taichang Temple."
"Oh, by the way, the temple minister of Taichang Temple has also gone. I thought he was annoyed, so I came out right after hearing him."
After saying that, Mo Yuanchang looked at Yang Weishang with some confusion and asked, "Why are you asking these?"
Yang Weishang shook his head and didn't say much to Mo Yuanchang, "It's okay."
In fact, in the Golden Palace this morning, Tang Weiyi was planning to kill the chicken to scare the monkey in order to implement the new law, but he did not expect that Mo Zizai's deterrence was so strong that none of these officials dared to come out to stand up and oppose it. It was a bunch of cowards.
Thinking of this, Yang Weishang sighed slightly. It’s really a world of decline, but people’s hearts are not as old as ever.
When the old emperor was in power, the officials in the court dared to swear and scold the old emperor. As a result, these officials had fallen to this point and had no literary character at all.
Of course, Yang Weishang felt that this might have something to do with the old emperor not killing officials easily, but these are not important. What is important is that there is no link to killing chickens to warn monkeys. Although these officials dare not object on the surface, they are secretly connecting and constantly inspiring people.
Even the idle prince Mo Yuanchang was a little unsteady when they said it, let alone others, so if they let them go, there might be big problems.
"It seems that the link of killing the chicken to warn the monkey is still indispensable."
Yang Weishang silently wrote down the names of the five people Mo Yuanchang just mentioned. This achievement is about to fall on them. After killing these people who are so smart that they make the most fun, the rest of them will not dare to oppose it blatantly even if they have ideas.
Now that Mo Zizai's army is going out for war, it is an extraordinary method in extraordinary times. Yang Weishang thought of this and made up his mind silently, and then said to Mo Yuanchang: "Sixth Master, you are here to enjoy the flowers. I'll go and see if there is any good tea in my study. Let's take it out for Liuye to taste it."
"Okay, OK."
Mo Yuanchang was playing the flowers he had dug out. He nodded quickly when he heard this. But after Yang Weishang left, he looked at Yang Weishang's back and sighed indefinitely, "It seems that there will be a few more tea friends."
"But I can't blame me, who told you to cheat me first?"
Mo Yuanchang looked at his flowers and murmured a few words in a low voice, "I am just an idle person who grows flowers. I have to find trouble for me and jump into the pit. I really treat me as a fool."
After saying that, Mo Yuanchang put down the flowers, then walked to the pavilion, and saw that Yao Qing had already brewed the tea, picked up a cup and tasted it, and then smiled happily and said, "Yao Qing, your tea-making skills are unique, and this sparrow tongue has a stronger fragrance in your hands."
"Sixth Master has been awarded."
Yao Qing laughed, looked at Mo Yuanchang's expression and said, "Your Majesty Liu, you are in a good mood, so you drink tea and it has nothing to do with the old servant."
"Haha, it's still you, Yao Qing, who can talk."
Mo Yuanchang laughed loudly, stopped talking, and sat in the pavilion to enjoy tea.
Yang Weishang, after returning to the study, wrote a memorial, wrote down what Mo Yuanchang said, and stated the pros and cons. After finishing writing, he immediately sent someone to the palace.
After the memorial was delivered to the palace, the five people Mo Yuanchang mentioned were not waiting for the night, and the whole family was directly imprisoned. The charge was to oppose the new policy, deceive the emperor and be imprisoned and wait for death.
As soon as this happened, the capital city suddenly became quiet. After the officials who had some ideas understood Tang Weiyi's determination, they directly gave up their little thoughts. Even some timid officials did not even dare to visit them.
...
Officials in the capital became quiet because of the new policy, but families in various places were excited because of Mo Zizai's conditions.
Mo Zizai not only asked them to pay the tax this year, but also paid double payments. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the court and the officials who want to be independent sooner or later will have a battle with them. Now paying money and grain, isn’t that the enemy?
So from the heart, these aristocratic families don’t want to pay a penny, but whether they want to think about it or not is one thing, and whether they want to pay it or not is another thing.
Mo Zizai is now in Pingzhou. Not only are there five thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, but now there are 15,000 more Yuzhi Army. If he dares not agree to Mo Zizai's conditions, with his temper, he will be able to fight in minutes.
Therefore, the prefectures and counties near Pingzhou did not hesitate for too long, and directly bowed their heads and admitted defeat. The report said that they would raise money and grain immediately and transport it to the capital soon.
As for those far-off prefectures and counties, although Mo Zizai could not cross the county and attack them, Mo Zizai could not beat them but could beat the close prefectures and counties.
The prefectures and counties close to Pingzhou are naturally unwilling to serve as shields for others in front, so if they really do this, those prefectures and counties may turn against each other in an instant and help Mo Zizai beat them. So after thinking about it for a while, they also decided to surrender.
Isn’t it just asking for money and food? Give it to him!
Anyway, because of Mo Zizai's strength and strength, there are already signs of secret alliances in various places to deal with Mo Zizai first. When they really succeed in the alliance, they will join forces to kill Mo Zizai. The money and food they sent will not be theirs.
After reaching a consensus among all regions, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly became a little calmer. All regions were raising money and food, and there was no tension in the past that all regions had rebelled.
But they reached a consensus, but some people couldn't sit still.
...
In Qianjiang County, Situ Yao looked at the information coming from all over the country and was in a bad mood.
Compared with the rest of the forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his greatest advantage was that he was prepared for rebellion in advance. Whether it was intelligence, the food, grass and military horses he had hoarded, he far exceeded other forces.
So in his plan, he was preparing to wait until the other forces destroyed Mo Zizai before entering the field.
Although these aristocratic families have some strength, they are not worthy of evidence. He is confident that after entering the field, he will sweep these aristocratic families. The only thing worth worrying about is the King of Bei'an.
But he didn't expect that Mo Zizai still had such a strong force in his hand, and he destroyed King Yu of Pingzhou with one move.
Logically speaking, it is also a good thing for him. Mo Zizai is stronger, so when fighting against those aristocratic families, he will consume more of the strength of those aristocratic families. Then when his Qianjiang army enters the field, he will lose a lot less.
But Mo Zizai stopped fighting at this time, but instead began to ask for money and food to temporarily maintain peace.
"We can't let them develop."
Situ Yao pondered for a while. Now there is a great war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and families from all over the country are also aware of this matter, so they are desperately recruiting soldiers. If they complete their expansion, the situation will be difficult to control.
So, they can't stop.
Situ Yao looked at the map and hesitated for a while. Finally, he sighed and said to the people around him: "Hu Ming, I will write a letter, and you can help me deliver it to Yuanling County."
"After that, you don't come back, just be in Yuanling County Governor City."
"Yes, teacher."
Hu Ming, who stood behind Situ Yao, was a little excited. They were trained by Situ Yao for many years in order to make the world famous. Now, judging by Situ Yao's meaning, it was his turn this time.
I must seize this opportunity well, and I must not lose like Bai Changqiu before.
Seeing his student's excitement, Situ Yao couldn't help but speak and reminded him, "Hu Ming, the Yuzhi Army is a big deal, and you must not take it lightly."
"If things cannot be done, don't force them. Be sure to protect yourself as your first goal. Do you understand?"
Hu Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed respectfully, "Don't worry, the teacher, the students know what they know and will never act recklessly."
Situ Yao looked at Hu Ming for a while. Hu Ming was too utilitarian and had too strong desire to win and lose. To be honest, he was a little worried about Hu Ming, but when he went to Yuanling County, Hu Ming was the most suitable one. Therefore, he thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "You can go so far. Remember not to be too powerful. Learn more from Changqiu. Do not do anything. If you should leave, you must not be nostalgic."
Although Situ Yao had no hesitation about outsiders, he really had nothing to say about his students. Last time Bai Changqiu ruined the entire Iron Guard Army, he did not punish Bai Changqiu much, and even advised his students not to blame Bai Changqiu, as a rare and good teacher.
"Bai Changqiu..."
Hu Ming snorted coldly in his heart. Since Bai Changqiu was defeated and fled back to Qianjiang County in a panic, he has looked down on Bai Changqiu any more. In his opinion, Bai Changqiu, who was defeated so miserably, should have died in the battlefield on the battlefield, so as to save the embarrassment of the teacher when he came back.
However, now that the teacher said this, he couldn't refute it. It would be bad if he repeatedly deprived him of the opportunity to go to Yuanling County. Therefore, he was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if things cannot be done, I will not die in vain."
"It would be better if you think so."
Situ Yao nodded. When Hu Ming turned around and left, he stared at Hu Ming's back, feeling a little uneasy, "Nothing will happen, right?"
However, thinking about his arrangements and Hu Ming's promise just now, he felt that it shouldn't be so much, so he calmed down and then asked someone to call Bai Changqiu over.
"I've met the teacher."
Bai Changqiu was originally in a series of connections in various places, preparing to prepare for a plan to deal with Mo Zizai, but just halfway through his busy work, Mo Zizai killed all the ministers, causing the Zhou Dynasty to rebel. Then his series of connections would be meaningless, so he simply came back directly.
"Well, sit down and talk, Changqiu."
Situ Yao looked at Bai Changqiu. This disciple who was so energetic in the past was now much more haggard. Obviously, the fact that he gave Mo Zizai for nothing was not to worry about him. Although he had enlightened him several times, this matter was a heart-wrenching problem after all, and he had to see through it himself before he could get out.
Therefore, he did not say much about this, but asked: "Changqiu, last time you contacted families from all over the country, what did they react? Do you think you would be sure of it when you persuade them to join forces to deal with Mo Zizai?"
"Are you going to have a truce?"
Bai Changqiu was a little puzzled. He has also received the news of paying taxes in various places. In his opinion, it should not be possible to fight in a short period of time.
In this case, why do those aristocratic families have enough time to join their own alliances?
"This battle cannot be stopped."
Situ Yao said calmly: "Yuanling County transported taxes to the capital, but was robbed by Mo Zizai in Pingzhou, and the grain transport army was killed. This battle cannot be stopped."
"The taxes in Yuanling County were robbed?"
Bai Changqiu was stunned for a moment. Mo Zizai's conditions had just come out and there were no preparations in various places. Why had the taxes from Yuanling County been sent over and were robbed by Mo Zizai?
However, he reacted very quickly, and he guessed in an instant that Yuanling County had probably fallen into the teacher's control. What the teacher said now was not what happened now, but something that would only happen in a few days.
