All Hail Cousin Brother

This also made Han's defense useless.

This kind of excuse was completely turned into sophistry amid the joint appeal of tens of thousands of literati and Mo students in the north, and the calls for help from all the people.

The eyes of the followers are sharp.

The Han family was outraged by the public, but it was also true.

The Queen Mother, who was lying ill on the bed, could not lie down any longer.

On the morning of the second day, he asked Aunt Shen to help him go to the Golden Palace: "What is the truth of the case? Mr. Ye is still investigating. Before the case is thoroughly investigated, Mr. Hange and all the Han children in the court should go back to their homes to take care of themselves." Go and have a rest, and don't cause unnecessary disputes in the court, so as not to miss the court."

Mr. Han Ge was naturally dissatisfied and immediately knelt down: "The Queen Mother's move is really biased..."

Mr. Yu Ge immediately couldn't help it anymore and scolded him: "Your Han family is a well-known and famous family in Xi'an. It can be called a model of the noble families in the north."

Mr. Hange felt keenly that this might not be a good thing to say, but it was also true. He couldn't say "no", so he braced himself to deal with it.

really!

"But," Old Yu Ge changed the subject and his words suddenly became sharp: "In the past, the northern gentry jointly fabricated trumped-up charges and harmed King Zhou Li's family. Later, you, the northern gentry, returned to their old ways and slandered Princess Shaoyi. , to frame King Wu Mu, the northern gentry despised the laws and regulations of the court, provoked the majesty of the heavenly family, ignored the royal decency, deceived the emperor and committed crimes, which is treason and unethical, and this is also true."

These words directly hit Mr. Han Ge's lungs: "Mr. Yu Ge, don't talk nonsense. In the case of King Zhou Li, all the people involved have been..."

Mr. Qi cut off his words: "Wei Chen thinks that what Mr. Yu Ge said is true. Since the Han family prides itself on being the first family in Shaanxi, it represents all the noble families in Shaanxi. In the current case of Liu Dagen, the victims are Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Muding of the North are involved in a serious matter, and the Han family is not qualified to continue to participate in court affairs until they are cleared of suspicion."

The courtiers all agreed.

Elder Han Ge and his party knelt on the ground with a plop: "The Queen Mother, my Han family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and I have absolutely no disrespect for the imperial court and the Tian family..."

"Shut up," the Queen Mother shouted sternly: "Princess Shaoyi went to the north because the Ai family and the court officials unanimously promoted it. You gentry in the north have been preaching that Princess Shaoyi has no rules and regulations and is disrupting the law. Shouldn't you also be detained?" Is it the crime of the hen Si Chen to have a harem in the Ai family interfere in politics and bring trouble to the society?"

Although Mr. Hange was dissatisfied with the royalist party and relied on the reputation of Princess Shaoyi to achieve success in the court, he only dared to be dissatisfied in his heart and did not dare to say another word.

"More than ten regions in the north have suffered from drought. More than 20 million people have been affected, and four to five million people have fled famine. However, fewer than two million people have actually fled to Liaodong alive. Dragon City is the capital of Beijing. At the gates of the three places, more than one million victims are gathering at the moment, and there is only one gate separated from Jingzhao." The Queen Mother said in a calm voice: "The refugees cannot be resettled for one day, can everyone here sit back and relax?"

Mr. Hange's heart was in his throat. The Queen Mother's meaning was obvious. The common people were suffering from the disaster, but the gentry in the north did not want to donate to the victims and were still busy fighting.

Where will the people live and die?

Where should the imperial laws be placed?

Where to place the Great Zhou State?

The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice: "May I ask your ministers, why did the imperial court issue a national policy to relocate the victims to Liaodong?"

In the whole court, no one dared to accept these words.

The Queen Mother did not care, and only said: "First, the victims of the disaster poured into Jingzhao in large numbers and gathered outside the city, which has seriously threatened the stability of Jingzhao;"

"Secondly, the Liaodong area is relatively close to the disaster-stricken northern region. There is still a way for the victims to survive when they flee to Liaodong;"

"Thirdly, Liaodong is a vast and sparsely populated area that can accommodate millions of victims. The 300,000 You army can also intimidate the victims to prevent them from gathering into a force and causing frequent riots;"

"Fourth, the Liaodong area has not been affected by the drought. Princess Shaoyi has grown high-yielding sweet potatoes, which can be promoted in Liaodong. In the long run, the victims can recuperate there;"

"Fifth, there are trade routes in the north, and the materials in the hands of the gentry can help the victims."

A rapid coughing sound came from the tent, and the Queen Mother did not cover it up.

Hearing this sound, he could not stop coughing for a while, and there were shadowy figures waiting behind the tent. The courtiers had different thoughts and ulterior motives.

The coughing continued for a while, then gradually subsided, and the Queen Mother's hoarse voice came out again: "When it was proposed to issue a national policy in the north and resettle the victims to Liaodong, all the ministers present were in favor. This was not the case. It’s not the arbitrary actions of the Ai family, nor is it the result of the harem’s interference in politics.”

It was the northern region that was affected by the disaster, and Jingzhao was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. It was under the rule of the emperor, a place where powerful people gathered, and it was the most prosperous place in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

In the eyes of the common people, even if the big men in Jingli leak some food through their fingers, it is enough for them to survive. Why don't the common people run to Jingzhao after a disaster? Where else can you run?

If no national policy had been issued at that time, the number of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing would have only increased, and closing the city gates would have been just a temporary measure. If the imperial court had been inactive, trying to find a way to resettle the victims and keep the refugees out, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have An anti-Zhou trend will break out in North Korea, with disastrous consequences.

At that time, in the entire northern region of the Zhou Dynasty, only the Liaodong area was still willing to accommodate refugees and set up refugee camps. Only then did the courtiers come up with this method of "diversion of trouble to the east".

The Queen Mother paused for a moment and then said: "Now more than a million refugees have arrived in Liaodong. The refugees are wandering everywhere and gathering in crowds. The situation of frequent riots has been solved. You are stable and secure one by one. Just cross the river and tear down the bridge." , put aside the problem and completely give this hot potato to King Wu Mu?"

This statement is so straightforward that it is impossible to refute.

The reason why the northern gentry headed by Mr. Han Ge dared to pervert national policies was because whether anything happened in the internment camp was the responsibility of King Wu Mu and the local officials.

Even if King Wu Mu tried his best not to be accused by the court, he would still settle the issue of the refugees.

Of course, even if something happens, where are the 300,000 Youjun? It's not like he can't suppress a mob, and he can't threaten them anyway.

It would be better if King Wu Mu was questioned by the court afterwards.

Otherwise, King Wu Mu would take in the refugees and his reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty would rise. When the time comes, his status as a vassal king would not be a thorn in King Wu Mu's side, and those who were suppressed would become the northern gentry.

Compared with the feudal kings, the gentry posed much less threat to the court.

The court would not really do anything to the gentry.

The worst case scenario is that when the gentry's perfunctory national policy comes to light, a bunch of young gentry will be pushed out to take the blame.
