"died?"

In the imperial study room, Zhou Yu sat on a high seat and yawned lightly. He glanced at Liu Yuan, Zhao Teng, Taiwei Liu and Liu Wei who were kneeling on the ground somewhat casually.

"It's not like I'm foolproof, so how come someone dies? If word of this spreads, how will the world look at me?"

Zhao Teng kept kowtowing to the ground and said with a fearful expression: "A slave is punished by death."

Liu Yuanze said: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Changshi. It is indeed the Empress Gao who took advantage of the fact that the soldiers in custody did not dare to act rashly and directly hit the stone pillar in the palace and died suddenly."

Taiwei Tai might not care whether Zhao Teng would be punished by Zhou Yu for this, but he understood that Zhou Yu could never be labeled as unfilial and forced the empress Gao to death. He raised his hand and said: "Report to your majesty, the Gao family intends to rebel.

, General Ben also found irrefutable evidence of rebellion in the Gao family's residence. Empress Gao must have known that the conspiracy was exposed, and rebellion is a capital crime, so she felt ashamed of the late emperor and bumped her head against a stone pillar to death."

"So that's it." Zhou Yu suddenly understood and nodded lightly, saying, "Is there any irrefutable proof?"

Liu Yuan was a little confused, but when he saw the look in Taiwei's eyes gesticulating at him, he quickly said: "The evidence is as solid as a mountain!"

Zhou Yu showed a satisfied expression: "Very good, then let's compile the evidence and tell it to the world and all the officials. Empress Gao is dead, and the Gao family and her party members have all been brought to justice. This matter ends here.

Changshi Zhao, please don’t make any more mistakes when doing things next time.”

Zhao Teng knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely remember this."

"Everyone, get up." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "You guys must have had a hard night and haven't had enough water. I've asked the imperial dining room to prepare it. Sit down and take a rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone sat down, Zhou Yu said: "Tell me about the situation."

Liu Yuandao: "Your Majesty, after a night of raids, we have killed and arrested more than 1,300 people from 46 families. The Gao family's rebellious party, all men except the women have been brought to justice, and there are also 5,000 private soldiers.

All have been suppressed.”

Taiwei Jian then said: "All forty-six houses have been inspected. The proceeds are now being counted and will be sent to His Majesty's inner treasury. Currently, 30 million copper coins, 5 million taels of silver, and gold have been counted.

One million taels, this is only part of what was seized, there are antiques, paintings, and other treasures that have not yet been counted."

"There are also shops, manors, mansions, livestock, fields, etc. that still need to be counted slowly."

In this day and age, the usual currency is one thousand copper coins. Zhou Yu made a rough estimate in his mind in a way that he could understand. One stone of rice is about one hundred and twenty kilograms, and the current price is about three hundred and fifty wen.

According to an understandable way, it is equivalent to three copper coins per kilogram of rice. Three yuan per kilogram of rice is no problem. Roughly speaking, one copper coin is equal to one yuan. Thirty million yuan is equivalent to thirty million yuan.

One thousand yuan is equivalent to 30 billion.

Furthermore, one tael of silver is almost equal to one thousand yuan, which is one thousand yuan. Five million taels of silver is equal to five million yuan. One tael of gold can be roughly converted into ten taels of silver, which is ten thousand yuan. This calculation

During this house raid, tens of billions were confiscated, and this was just an enumeration.

The forty-six families have tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Tsk tsk, every family is a billionaire. The Gao family also has a lot of wealth. They are rich, really rich, but now all this money has fallen into

Zhou Yu's purse.

These wealthy and aristocratic families are truly extremely wealthy. They are truly aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, and their heritage is unimaginable to ordinary people.

This is something copied from the Forty-Six Family. Although it is a lot, it is just that. I am afraid that just the Yang family can match half of them. After all, the Yang family is now the head of the family.

In short, these aristocratic families must be richer than the imperial court. Zhou Yu is not very clear about the current situation of the national treasury and internal treasury, but at least the country he takes over now is relatively stable and wealthy. With this money, Zhou Yu is not ready to let it go.

It's moldy, but you just have to plan it carefully how to use it.

Liu Wei licked his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is relatively tight now. Can this money be allocated and handed over to the national treasury?"

"It's not impossible." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "We'll talk about it after the inventory is completed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, the breakfast prepared by the imperial dining room for Zhou Yu and the ministers was also delivered. After seeing a few people carefully finishing their food and having someone come over to clean it up, Zhou Yu got down to business again.

"Such a big rebellion is over. Lieutenant Jian and Uncle Liu Wei, you two must stabilize the court and avoid any more setbacks."

"I understand."

"Yes." Zhou Yu looked at Liu Yuan: "General, I have a decree that you, Changshi Zhao and King Xiao Nanchen will work together to complete. Zhao Changshi will tell you the details."

"yes."

Zhou Yu said: "Let King Xiao Nanchen bring all the five thousand private soldiers back to Xizhou for unified processing. The female family members of the Sin Clan will deal with them according to the usual practice. That's it. It's been a busy night. You all go back and have a good rest. After you have rested, you can get up and do things."

After finishing his instructions, Zhou Yu stood up, patted his butt and left the imperial study, and returned to his dormitory under the respectful greetings of several people.

Zhou Yu didn't get much rest last night. He got up early in the morning and talked a lot with Taiwei and others. After all, he felt he had to do it when he was young and couldn't get enough rest. He just got up in bed.

Fell into a deep sleep.

It was already afternoon when he woke up and opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, Zhou Yu was in a daze for a long time. In the extreme silence, Zhou Yu looked particularly lonely and confused.

"Why."

After a long time, Zhou Yu let out a long sigh.

Forty-six families, more than a thousand people, most of them died because of his orders. After investigation, it is estimated that some of the remaining female family members will also die, the older ones will die, and the rest will either become slaves or official prostitutes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Zhou Yu has no regrets, let alone making any changes to this. This is a political struggle, a struggle that is either your death or my death. They are on the wrong team.

, this is their consequence.

If it were Zhou Yu himself, he would be the one to die if he lost power. If Zhou Yu didn't want to be killed, he would have no choice but to kill others.

For a modern person who had never been exposed to these things, this was somewhat of a shock to his heart. Naturally, these shocks brought some inappropriate ideas to Zhou Yu.

After sorting out his emotions, he stopped thinking about those who died and allowed himself to see these things as pure numbers. After adjusting, Zhou Yu sat up from the bed.

When the waiter outside heard the commotion, he quickly ran over and started to help Zhou Yu change clothes and wash up.

"What time is it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's just past noon, so we need to have lunch."

"Okay, what will happen if I take a break?"

"No."

Zhou Yu glanced at the person serving in front of him, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and asked: "What is your name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Zhao Sheng."

"Zhao Sheng?" Zhou Yu laughed and said, "What does Zhao Changshi have to do with you?"

The young chamberlain said respectfully: "Changshi Zhao is the godfather of this villain."

Zhou Yu smiled and stopped talking. After getting dressed, he walked out, leaned on a soft chair and read a book.

It was not until after dinner that Zhou Yu was bored and having fun in the garden, and then he saw Zhao Teng appear in front of him again. As soon as he came, he kowtowed to Zhou Yu and knelt down: "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Teng: "How are things going?"

Zhao Teng said: "Your Majesty, the items seized are still being counted. There are too many things and it will take only three to five days to complete the count."

"The imperial guards are being gradually replaced. Because the new members need to be familiar with the relationship in the palace, it is estimated that it will take a few days to complete the replacement. However, the remaining sergeants have also been properly placed with the help of the general and King Xiao Nanchen."

Zhou Yu asked with a casual expression: "Is anyone dissatisfied?"

"No."

"You choose a suitable place among the copied mansions. From now on, it will be regarded as the residence of the Jin Yiwei in the city. You also choose a suitable place in the palace as the residence. The Jin Yiwei will also assume the responsibility of patrolling the palace.

.”

"However, we are not allowed to interfere with the imperial guards. The two parties do not interfere with each other. As my personal guards, the Jinyi Guards must be unified in their service and must be able to reflect the majesty of the royal family."

Zhao Teng bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will personally keep an eye on the arrangements. Once the sample clothes are produced, I will bring them to Your Majesty for review as soon as possible."

In this day and age, there is really a lack of entertainment, not to mention that at Zhou Yu's age, there is almost nothing to do when it gets dark, so people can only light more candles in the palace and read a book.

When the court went to court the next day, the court hall became lively again because of the executions of the high-ranking party. Zhou Yu still expressed basically no opinions in front of the mascot as before.

Qi Zhenzhen was even more interesting. After learning that the Gaohou clan was destroyed, he seemed to be shocked again. Even in the early morning, he no longer came to watch.

Until the next court, Zhou Yu kept Zhou Shengchen and called Taiwei Jian, Liu Yuan, and Liu Wei to the imperial study.

As soon as Zhou Shengchen arrived, he went to Zhou Yu to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty, the military affairs in Xizhou are tense, and I have been here for a long time. Now that everything has been settled and the court is stable, I would like to say goodbye to your Majesty and return to Xizhou."

Zhou Shengchen had not been here long, and he was not clear about the situation at first, but after staying there for such a period of time, how could he not tell that Zhou Yu looked young and acted like a mascot in the court, but in fact he was

He suppressed all the civil and military officials into obedience.

Taiwei Jian, General Liu Yuan, and Prime Minister Liu Wei clearly regarded Zhou Yu as their leader, and they were respectful and respectful to their young nephew without any overstep.

Through what he saw with his own eyes, Zhou Shengchen suddenly realized that his young nephew was very capable and thoughtful. Although he was young, he already had the majesty and skills of an emperor. This made him feel relieved that things were over.

I definitely want to return to Xizhou.

Zhou Yu was not surprised and asked: "How many more days will the emperor stay?"

Zhou Shengchen shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, there is nothing for me to worry about here anymore. The ten thousand sergeants I have left behind are enough to protect Your Majesty's safety."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Well, I won't keep the Emperor's uncle any longer. The military affairs in Xizhou are more important. However, the Emperor's Uncle, I would like to ask you for two more people."

Zhou Shengchen raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu who was sitting on the high chair: "Which two people?"

"Your two female apprentices, Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao."
