Chapter 209 Father, I am going to be disappointed in you!
Seeing Emperor Wei's appearance.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but say, "Father, you don't know how much my brother-in-law has paid to clean up the government during this period."
"Zhang Zian, the great scholar, and Su Fu, the miraculous doctor, all helped me with all their strength. These great scholars and the loyal people of the previous dynasty who were invited to serve in the dynasty have all done their best after entering the dynasty."
"Why did they join the court as officials and regain their confidence in the court? Because they have seen my father's hardships in the past few years, they have seen your determination, but the most important thing is my brother-in-law's ability and means, and
The influence of brother-in-law in their hearts1”
"It was my brother-in-law who made them see the hope that the officials of the Wei Dynasty would govern the Qingming Festival! It was my brother-in-law who made them see the hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment!"
"We are grateful to any officials who have contributed to the court, but this is not the reason for their corruption, running rampant in the countryside, and oppressing the people. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. If you plead for these people, I will be disappointed in you!
"
Xiao Nan looked at Emperor Wei with a serious face.
This was the second time Xiao Nan spoke to Emperor Wei in this tone.
The first time was when Fan Junliang joined Qin Yu and took Xiao Nan out of the palace to visit Jiaofangsi.
This is the second time, because Emperor Wei has shown signs of interceding for the nobles of the new dynasty.
Listen to Xiao Nan's words.
Emperor Wei hesitated and wanted to get angry, but he was too embarrassed to do so.
Emperor Wei was the immediate emperor. He had three characteristics: he was reasonable and emotional. He did not regard his imperial power as supreme, and he had no idea that anyone would be more powerful than the master.
His original intention was to let the people live a good life.
Therefore, Emperor Wei's capacity to accommodate people was still very large.
There was a pause.
Emperor Wei suppressed his anger, nodded, and said in deep thought: "Okay, I admit that I was wrong in this matter. I did have selfish motives and forgot my original intention. Since they have done these things, they should pay the price!"
"I don't care about this matter. You can do whatever you want. Deal with whoever needs to be dealt with. There is no need to consider my face. No one has face when it comes to purging officials!"
Hear this.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan nodded happily.
This is what Qin Yu likes most about his father-in-law, he is able to listen and advise.
If he really asked for mercy, Zhang Zian would probably be disappointed, let alone him and Xiao Nan.
"Father, the prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he returns home. I believe in you."
Xiao Nan gave Emperor Wei an appreciative look.
"Bunny..."
Emperor Wei glanced at Xiao Nan, smiled and scolded: "You are really promising now, and you are teaching me a lesson?"
Xiao Nan smiled and scratched his head, and then said, "Haha... I am also doing it for the good of the court."
In fact, Emperor Wei was very pleased with Xiao Nan's change.
In less than a year, Xiao Nan finally grew from a reckless man to a worthy Crown Prince of Wei.
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Wei looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Have you bribed Duke Ning Guo?"
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "As for the new sect, I want to change my thinking and attack Ouyang Zong directly, asking him to plead guilty and punish him. In this way, the new sect will be eliminated with twice the result with half the effort, once and for all."
Emperor Wei paused and said in surprise: "You are quite courageous. Ouyang Zong is not an easy person to deal with. He has very strong abilities and a very explosive personality."
"He has followed me for many years, stained the battlefield with blood, charged into battle, and was not afraid of life or death. Three of his five sons died in battle, and he made great contributions to me."
"In the prosperous year, Tuolun, a vassal state of Wei, rebelled and attacked the western frontier of Wei. Ouyang Zong led his army to attack Tuolun. When the army marched to Xizhou, most of it had been lost. Tuolun's army marched straight in, overwhelming our Wei army.
I’m so depressed that I can’t even lift my head.”
"Seeing that the war was not going well, Ouyang Zong personally went to the battlefield, selected the elite, and ran with a light army. At that time, it was cold in the mountains, there was a lot of snow, and the road was long and blocked. Ouyang Zong overcame many difficulties, led his army to detour for more than a thousand miles, and successively defeated
The Tuolun Kingdom's Jinghan, Xingdou, Guobao Mountain and other places fought all the way to the Tuolun King's Court, and then pursued the Tuolun King for eight hundred miles, forcing the Tuolun Army to return for reinforcements."
"Since then, Tuolun has never dared to invade the border again. Ouyang Zong's name is even more powerful Tuolun. In that battle, two of his sons were killed. In that battle, he also suffered from the root of the disease and could not carry the sword.
It’s a battlefield.”
"well......"
Emperor Wei said, sighing again.
Prime Minister Zuo of the Wei Dynasty, who was loyal, courageous, famous, and had countless military exploits, was now the chief culprit who occupied 180,000 acres of farmland.
Emperor Wei was really sad for his misfortune and angry that he would not fight.
Qin Yu also frowned deeply.
Of course he knew Ouyang Zong, a famous hero of the Wei Dynasty.
When Emperor Wei founded the country, in terms of Conglong's merits, Ouyang Zong was second, and no one dared to say he was first.
What Emperor Wei just said was just one of his many contributions.
He was the leader in reorganizing the army, pacifying Bashu, resisting Uluo, and reforming the military garrison of the Wei Dynasty.
Ouyang Zong was the first person to follow Emperor Wei. He had outstanding ability, seniority, and loyalty. He contributed the most when Emperor Wei was seizing the throne. He fought to the death with the princelings and suffered countless wounds from swords.
Therefore, he could become the backbone of the new faction and the left prime minister of the Wei Dynasty.
But no matter what, the merits are outweighed by the faults, especially in the past few years, Ouyang Zong has indulged his clan members in numerous bloody cases.
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "I admire Lord Ouyang Zong's achievements from the bottom of my heart and respect him."
"But Your Majesty, no matter how much merit he has made, nothing can make up for the heinous crime he has committed. I will definitely make him punished."
Emperor Wei shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand him. He won't admit his guilt so easily. He is a hard nut to crack."
Qin Yu was calm and calm, "Your Majesty, everyone has his or her own weaknesses. Just hit them. I already have a way."
Looking at the confident Qin Yu.
Emperor Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Well, you still have to pay attention to safety. If he refuses to take the initiative to plead guilty, then use force."
Emperor Wei also understood that Ouyang Zong's active and passive confession had completely different meanings in purging officials.
If he were willing to take the initiative to subdue the law, no one in the court would resist. He is known to be upright and fiery.
Emperor Wei still felt a little heartbroken when he thought about it now.
There are really not many of the old brothers who fought with him in the world who are innocent.
The greed in people's hearts is really terrible.
"well......."
Xiao Nan also felt very sorry and sighed: "These people were originally the pillars of our Wei Dynasty, but I didn't expect that they would all reach this stage today."
"But the people who suffer the most are the people of Yuanzhou. The change of dynasties has not ended their fate of being oppressed. From now on, these people should all be killed!"
Afterwards, Emperor Wei stopped persuading him.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan left the imperial study room.
Today, Qin Yu will pay a personal visit to Ouyang Zong.
