Chapter 160 The wind can come in and the rain can come in, but the emperor cannot.

 The butterfly wings of fate flap gently,

The long river of time,

Ushering in a new wave.

The first day of September in the first year of Guangxi.

At the Fujun military port in Japan, Zhang He led two hundred personal guards, plus three thousand Japanese dangerous elements, and boarded fifteen SF cargo ships and headed straight for the east coast of Lelang County, which borders Goguryeo.

Japan, Jin Island (later Sado Island), is located in the northern waters of Momotaro's Tao County. Jian Yong and Liu Fu, led by Jin Yiwei Baihu, climbed to the west of the island and Heshan Mountain, and were stunned by the exposed silver ore in front of them.

The Guan Yu tribe in western Liaoning launched a large-scale attack on the eastern Xianbei alliance. Wuda attacked from the north of Yuyang and attacked all Xianbei tribes from west to east, practicing the cruel connotation of "doing things cheaply".

In Shuofang, Zhang Liao, who served as the commander for the first time, led five thousand cavalry to attack the Budugen forces in Yunzhong.

Daijun, after handing over Taiyuan to Zhang Yang, Lu Bu led Gao Shun Xu Huang and three thousand fine cavalry, secretly set out from the northeast of Bingzhou, and successfully surrounded more than 10,000 Kebineng subordinates stationed here.

In the South China Sea, the rested combined fleet, under the command of Zhang Cheng, marched south of Jiaozhi. Gan Ning's wounds healed and he returned to the Chang'an, much cleaner and more neatly dressed. Cao Wan felt that he belonged, and there was nothing he could do.

Uncle Xiahou could only stay and continue to be a nanny.

In the main hall of Changle Palace in the Eastern Capital, the Great Court Meeting has begun.

After the usual flattery, let’s get to the point.

Li Ru is still complaining about being poor and demanding money. Taiwei Ma Rixi is not polite. The bonds will be sold tomorrow. Are you in such a hurry?

Five hundred million shares of bonds, calculated as one lot of ten shares, is 50 million lots. It is unrealistic to sell all of them through manual trading windows.

Therefore, bond sales are divided into two types: securities dealers and individual investors. Individual investors can only buy 10 million lots.

The top ten securities firms subscribed for 40 million lots from the exchange in advance, and the wealthy Huitong Brokerage Company subscribed for 10 million lots as soon as they made the move.

Of course, all payments must wait until the second day of September for delivery.

Of course Li Ru understood, but a crying child needs milk. He was actually reminding Xun Shuang: get the money tomorrow and disburse it as soon as possible.

The bond situation in the Western Region is very good, and the province cannot afford to cut back on food and clothing, and the gloom is bleak.

Come, dear friends, let’s discuss Beiyuan Ranch stock!

All the officials understood that this was to raise money for the Queen Mother, and in principle they could not stop it, but there was no problem in giving Zhi Jinwu some eye drops.

Zhou Zhong, who resigned without approval, took the lead in firing.

"I dare to ask Zhijinwu, what does the "Beiyuan pasture and stocks are sacred and inviolable" in the memorial mean?"

Coming!

All the big guys understand this tacitly.

What Zhou Zhong questioned was Liu Bei's concluding remarks in the memorial, which made many people uncomfortable or unhappy.

Liu Bei came out, looked at the stubborn old man as usual, and asked: "Guang Luqing is very knowledgeable, don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand..."

Liu Bei promptly interrupted: "Since I understand, what else do you ask?"

Zhou Zhong's blood pressure started to soar again and his face turned red.

"You..."

Liu Bei said calmly: "If you have something to say, don't go around in circles. If you delay for a moment, there will be a thousand people in the palace, which is more than a thousand moments. Can you afford to pay for it?"

Yuan Ji coughed, and Zhou Zhong looked over angrily and heard the Taifu say: "This sentence seems to be ambiguous and inconsistent with legal principles."

Liu Bei was surprised and said: "May I ask Taifu, which law and principle do you disagree with?"

Zhou Zhong took it and said loudly: "The emperor owns the whole world. Your words clearly exclude pastures and stocks. His heart is to be punished!"

Most of the civil and military officers nodded subconsciously, and some even gave Zhou Zhong a thumbs up to express approval.

"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"

Like thunder exploding in the sky, Changle Palace was silent.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei, dumbfounded.

My dear, you really came from Mang Village!

Zhou Zhongqi's beard trembled, Lu Zhi frowned, and Yuan Ji was secretly happy.

Liu Bian looked on with cold eyes, and Queen Mother He showed displeasure.

Zhao Zhong, the regular servant, raised his sword and pointed it at Liu Bei below, screaming: "That's nonsense! Zhi Jinwu, is this how you repay your kindness? You openly despise your Majesty, it's treason!"

Liu Bei shrugged, showing a blank and innocent expression.

"Marquis Zhang Che, why are you so angry? And why are you slandering and framing Liu?"

Zhao Zhong had never dealt with Liu Bei in the first place, but he dared to deny it despite the solid evidence. He was so angry that he was furious.

"You..."

Liu Bei interrupted the other party again and asked: "Guang Luqing said something wrong, I can't point it out? Are you more domineering than Zhao Zhongche?"

Zhao Zhong believed that he was unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. When he saw that the other party compared him to Zhao Gao, the traitor of the ages, he immediately shouted angrily: "Shu Zi, shut up!"

Yuan Ji immediately stepped forward to join the battle group and could not let Liu Bei talk nonsense.

"What Guang Luxun said is the right way to say it. What's wrong with it?"

Liu Bei said seriously: "The Son of Heaven is also the herdsman of Daitian. I dare to ask Taifu, what is the meaning of 'Daitian'?"

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and then he closed his eyes to rest and let the evildoers do whatever they wanted.

Realizing their mistake, Yuan Ji and Zhou Zhong were dumbfounded and could not refute these words.

It is obvious that all things in the world, including monarchs, ministers and all people, belong to God. The emperor is only a manager, but managers have no ownership rights

Therefore, Zhou Zhong made a logical error when he said, "The emperor owns the whole world."

However, Zhao Zhong didn't care who was right or wrong, and directly set a trap for Liu Bei.

"Then according to Zhi Jinwu's wishes, not even the Queen Mother and Her Majesty can touch the pastures and stocks in the north?"

Liu Bei didn't care and replied decisively: "Marquis Zhao Che is right, no one can touch it!"

"Hahaha! Liu Bei, don't you know: Is the whole world the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers?"

Liu Bei nodded and said: "I know, I know, but I still can't touch Beiyuan Ranch and stocks."

Lu Zhi had to open his eyes, took a step forward, and asked: "Even if you are a herdsman, the imperial power is still supreme, why can't you touch it?"

Liu Bei bowed his head in salute, stood up and said, "Because the province has collected two million taels of silver."

Your Highness and Your Highness all changed their expressions.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and continued to question after a while: "Just talking about ranch stocks!"

Liu Bei nodded and said: "When I was young, my family was poor. I only had a thatched cottage with broken walls and a leaky roof, and my mother depended on each other..."

Turning around and looking at the ministers, Liu Bei said word by word: "In Liu's opinion, the wind can enter this thatched cottage, and the rain can enter, but the emperor cannot enter, unless he is a coward or a tyrant!"

At this time, Liu Bian opened his eyes wide in surprise and pursed his lips.

Queen Mother He deeply felt the emperor's determination, and her clenched palms could not help but sweat.

All the officials were speechless.

Even though what he said didn’t sound right, it was right.

Every household, every stitch, every stitch is your own private property, and I can’t take it away at will even when the King of Heaven comes!

Uncle Liu Huang is such a man!

Liu Bei knew that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were dissatisfied with him, and he also knew that the eunuchs and relatives were eyeing each other with Yuan Ji. However, he could not protect his own things, so this time travel was a failure.

Cai Yong was below. Seeing that his virtuous son-in-law would rather break than bend, he was both pleased and worried, but he did not have the status to step forward and speak.

Sili Xiaowei announced that he was weighing whether to come forward to support him, but he saw Liu Dai, the great master, stepped forward and spoke to resolve the embarrassment.

"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are naturally sage kings. They adhere to what Jinwu said, which is both reasonable and thought-provoking. They are worthy of being loyal ministers!"

After announcing his displeasure, he immediately jumped out and echoed loudly: "What Da Zongzheng said is good! I second my opinion!"

The cheap son-in-law is domineering, and the cheap father-in-law Wang Yun naturally sings a high-pitched tune: "I am loyal to the country and have unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. It is a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people!"

More than half of the Grand Master's staff spoke in agreement, and the hall was filled with flowers and joy.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Ji with a smile, waiting for the other party to express his stance.

Let me tell you clearly, since the Queen Mother has received two million taels, this is private property. If anyone dares to reach out, don't blame me for not giving him face.

Yuan Ji knew in his heart that it was not time to break up, so he remained silent.

"Proposal for Public Offering of Beiyuan Ranch Stocks" was successfully passed.

Therefore, the concept of "private property is sacrosanct" was clarified for the first time in an official document.
