All Hail Cousin Brother

Have they never done this before? King Zhou Li's case of vindication caused a huge uproar, but didn't it calm down in the end? !

The next time I did it, I was very familiar with it.

"The Shanshan and Shaanxi areas are also areas that have been severely affected by the disaster." The Queen Mother glanced at Mr. Han Ge and her tone became very cold: "But the local gentry did not assist the government to provide relief to the local victims. Most of the local victims fled to famine. After arriving in Liaodong, the imperial court could not spend any money to provide relief to the victims, and the gentry followed the example, and the imperial court had nothing to hold them accountable."

Elder Han Ge had a bad feeling in his heart.

really!

The Queen Mother suddenly grabbed the tea bowl, used all her strength, and smashed it at Mr. Hange's feet with a "bang", and then there was another suppressed and painful cough from behind the curtain.

The courtiers lowered their heads and were silent.

After a while, the Queen Mother said again: "It is also a national policy to take in and resettle the refugees. Since Mr. Han Ge has agreed, it means that you, the northern gentry, have also agreed to assist the government and King Wu Mu in implementing the national policy. So now, I dare to ask After the national policy was issued, how much food and supplies did your Han clan donate to the refugee camps?"

Old Han Ge was speechless and did not dare to make a sound.

The Queen Mother's voice became hoarse: "You dare not speak, but the meter and cloth you donated to the internment camp by the gentry in the northern border were recorded by the government, and they couldn't be fooled even if they wanted to," as she spoke, she handed over a booklet It was thrown out from behind the curtain and fell to the ground with a "snap": "You, the Han clan, are the number one clan in Shaanxi. You don't want to set an example, and you are perfunctory about national policies. You are out of order, despise the rules of the court, and ignore the majesty of the heavenly family."

The courtiers looked at the disgraced face of Mr. Han Ge and felt the raging anger of the Queen Mother.

Throughout the dynasties, the imperial court implemented national policies for the sake of the country, which represented the imperial court's power to intimidate the superiors and subordinates and benefit the world. It first required the support and cooperation of the local gentry.

Since the northern nobles headed by Mr. Hange agreed to issue national policies, they should fulfill their duties, mobilize their local influence, and cooperate with the court as much as possible.

The sentence of contempt for Chao Gang and disregard of the majesty of the Tian family suddenly made Elder Han Ge suddenly change his expression: "Queen Mother, please calm down. My Han family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations. There must be some misunderstanding..."

Opening one's mouth or shutting one's mouth was a misunderstanding. Not only did the Queen Mother get tired of hearing this, but even the courtiers looked at him sideways.

"I don't misunderstand, the Ai family knows it well, don't use such trivial words to deal with the Ai family," the Queen Mother did not accept his words: "There was an incident in the internment camp, and Princess Shaoyi's reputation was completely ruined. , King Wu Mu was accused by the court, and the Ai family is also to blame, should you jump out, attack the loyalist line, and take the opportunity to seize power?"

There was another violent cough behind the curtain. The Queen Mother spoke frankly and without any concealment, and the courtiers broke into cold sweats.

Mr. Hange and his party were so cold that their teeth started to click.

However, the Queen Mother's words were not finished yet: "Should you, the northern gentry, jump out again, donate a large amount of supplies, let the refugees eat human blood steamed buns, and be grateful to you? King Wu Mu's reputation was damaged and he was accused by the court. The best outcome is to continue to be constrained by the gentry, and the gentry will naturally continue to control the northern border."

Worthy of being the winner of the last palace battle, the Queen Mother completely saw through this incident that the gentry targeted her, and there were deeper interests behind this.

Several northern courtiers, headed by Mr. Han Ge, knelt down and cried out for injustice.

The Queen Mother sneered: "Don't complain. The gentry in the north have done so much. To put it bluntly, they are worried that King Wu Mu has successfully implemented the national policy in the north and his reputation is better than before. He is worried that he will not be able to suppress King Wu Mu in the future. King Wu Mu is pushing back and cannot continue to be your local emperor!"

Refugees were running around, with the most riots in the Shanshan and Shaanxi areas, so the imperial court issued a national policy, and the gentry in the north agreed with both hands. As a result, the threat of the refugees had just been resolved, and the gentry could not sit still anymore, fearing that King Wu Mu would threaten him in turn. They planned to use this matter to suppress King Wu Mu.

The courtiers knew how King Zhou Li died back then.

Once King Wu Mu takes control of the northern territory, how can the gentry still survive?

The words "Emperor of the Earth" brought the atmosphere in the court to a freezing point. The courtiers lowered their heads one after another and did not even dare to breathe.

Elder Han Ge and his group were even more shocked, their faces turned pale as ashes.

"Jian, straightforward, foolish, heart, delusion, imagination," the Queen Mother said in a hoarse voice, "I am a descendant of the royal family of the Yin family and an orthodox bloodline of the Tian family. I am so noble. How can I tolerate such unscrupulous people like you?" When the tiger falls in Pingyang, the dogs bark at each other!”

Old Han Ge's body went limp, and his vision went dark before he fell straight into the hall.

Before he fell into coma, he was thinking that it was over, it was over, the Han clan was over.

They originally thought that King Wu Mu successfully implemented the national policy and became more famous, so he was suspected of overshadowing his master. The Han family took the initiative to use the national policy to suppress King Wu Mu. This was something that the court, the emperor, and even the Queen Mother wanted to see. result.

That's okay.

Earlier, when King Zhou Li guarded the northern border, they did the same thing. It was impossible for the court to be unaware of it at all, and it had even been conniving at it.

As long as there is no actual evidence of crime.

One scapegoat has fallen, and there are thousands of scapegoats.

What are they afraid of? !

But this time, the northern nobles headed by Mr. Han Ge never expected that Ye Xiaoci would get involved and openly take advantage of the nobles.

At this time, Mr. Hange couldn't figure it out. Although the Linjiang Ye family was a royalist, their stance was more neutral. As a local official, Ye Xiaoci had not been involved in the conflict between the vassal king and the gentry for many years.

Why is it different this time?

Next, the Queen Mother issued four edicts in succession.

The first was to commend Princess Shaoyi for her kindness and kindness, and ordered people to send rewards.

The second is to order Ye Xiaoci, the capital of Youzhou, to find out the cases involving the Han family and not allow personal gain.

Third, King Wu Mu was specially ordered to assist the prefectural government to find out the cases involving the Han family and not tolerate them.

The fourth is to emphasize again that the gentry in the north should vigorously cooperate with the government and King Wu Mu to implement national policies. Anyone who is perfunctory will be punished for flouting the imperial code and causing harm to the country.

Fifth, headed by Mr. Han Ge, all descendants of the Han family who are officials in the court will be under house arrest in the mansion from today until the cases involving the Han family are found out before they are dealt with.

All of a sudden, the situation changed from "go home and have a good rest" to "confinement".

The difference is not that big.

Therefore, everyone felt that the Queen Mother was determined to "overthrow Han", and the Han family suddenly became the target of public criticism.

When the news reached the harem, Concubine Xu, who was behind the Han clan, was gnashing her teeth, and she was even more hateful towards Yu Youyao, who was the instigator of all this.
