Chapter 179 Surprised? Surprised?
Chapter 179: Surprised or unexpected?
The officials glared at him unhappily.
Mudd, this damn bitch!
If he hadn't hinted at the court today that His Majesty would take action on the members of the family, how could they bear the pain and cut their flesh now?
Of course, they were unhappy, but no one had the intention to refute.
After all, His Majesty is going to Hebei and other places to check the situation before the end of the year. If he finds that there are displaced people everywhere and no one is satisfied, it will be great fun.
Zhang Yang discussed it with several important ministers and said: "In that case, the Ministry of Industry has also taken care of this matter. Those who have houses will be repaired, and those who have no place to live will solve the housing problem."
.
How much money is needed will be calculated by the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible.
Also, we can't just cut the meat, and those below can't stay out of it either.
Next month, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment will go to Hebei to clean up those who exploit men and bully women, and draw out more money and land to fill the vacancy in the treasury. Your Majesty will not keep his eyes on our family all day long.
On the rich family!"
"That's what Mr. Zhang is saying! In the past, we ate meat and they drank soup. Now that we have to cut the meat, these guys below will naturally bleed!"
"In a word, let's get this errand done well and let everyone live a happy New Year in peace. Anyone who dares to reach out and cause trouble is our common enemy!"
All the important ministers in the court agreed in unison, and it was considered that they had reached a consensus.
It's not that they are willing to give up, but that compared with their lives, money and other things are simply nothing.
They never think that His Majesty is just talking. Even giant martial arts holy places like Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan are destroyed. It is not easy to destroy several aristocratic families like yours!
There is no doubt that when the power of these powerful families are concentrated together to do things, the efficiency is simply astonishing.
Within a few days, the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent a list of disaster relief materials to Song Xuan's court. In addition, information on the construction of water conservancy fortifications in Hebei, Henan and other places was also submitted.
Song Xuan was very pleased with this and gave Zhang Yang and others a few words of encouragement. This man was really excited and seemed to be ready to die for the emperor and the people.
For a long time, in Luoyang City, endless rows of horse-drawn carriages could be seen almost every day, hauling various relief materials, escorted by the imperial guards, to Hebei and other places.
Accompanying him were officials from the Ministry of Personnel, officials from the Ministry of Works, and various craftsmen.
As for the officials of the Ministry of Justice, they had already left the city early under the escort of the guards. After all, they had to collect a few big fish down below to replenish the treasury, so naturally they should not make too much publicity.
On this day, Song Xuan rarely criticized the book or practiced. Instead, he summoned Yang Guang to the Imperial Garden. The two drank tea, played chess, and chatted casually.
"Look, being an emperor is a very simple thing, isn't it?"
Yang Guang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is mocking me. I remember that when I wanted to promote a certain decree, I had to fight with the ministers for a long time.
These bastards all feel that I am easy to bully, but when they meet a holy king like you, Your Majesty, they all become honest and become capable officials in governing the world."
Having been in contact with Song Xuan for a long time, Yang Guang somewhat understood Song Xuan's temperament.
Although His Majesty the Emperor has killed countless people, in fact, as long as you don't confront him, this Emperor of the Wu Dynasty is actually very easy to talk to, and his temperament is not as cruel and terrifying as the outside world reports.
Even if you accidentally say something wrong, His Majesty doesn't care at all, and can even joke with you and tease you a few words.
"These people from aristocratic families are capable and capable. If they can be controlled, they will be very easy to use!"
Song Xuan smiled and said: "They are all talented people. With just a little help, they can accomplish some things very well. It saves me a lot of worry."
Yang Guang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I would actually have the opportunity to see people from these wealthy families be as obedient as dogs in this life."
Tomorrow, the sixth day after the bandit suppression order was issued, was the deadline issued by Song Xuan.
That night, Song Xuan issued a decree to Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, and then he wielded the sword in the air, turning into a black light and shadow, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
Henan, Wagangzhai.
It is said to be a village, but in fact, under the management of the former village owner Zhai Rang and the current village owner Li Mi, the current Wagang Village has become a large military base.
At this time, the lights in the Juyi Hall of Wagang Village were brightly lit, and the leader Li Mi, with a dark complexion, was sitting on the top chair, looking around at the commanders around him.
"Tomorrow is the deadline issued by Emperor Wu Song Xuan. Let's all talk about whether we will surrender or not."
As soon as these words came out, a strong man stood up and said: "If you ask me not to surrender, we have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and Wagang Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have not been able to get Zhang Xutuo even after months of confrontation."
It’s good, what’s so scary?”
To the left of Li Mi, sitting in the military advisor's seat, was a rather beautiful woman. She said in a deep voice, "How do you think our Wagang Village compares with Jing Nian Monastery and Cihang Jing Zhai?"
The strong man's expression changed, but he was still a little unconvinced and said: "I admit that the Martial Emperor Song Xuan is very powerful. He destroyed two holy places by one person. Thousands of troops are just child's play in his eyes.
But, the past is the past, and now that he is the emperor, how can he take action easily again?
Even if we don't surrender, he will probably send troops to suppress us. When it comes to marching and fighting, who do we, the Wagang Army, have to fear?
Anyway, I think we can’t just surrender easily if he makes a decree casually. Even if we want to surrender, we have to fight a few battles with the imperial army before surrendering. By then we will be able to gain the attention of the emperor and have a status in the imperial court!
"
When he said this, many people in the hall subconsciously nodded in approval.
"Brother Shan is right, as long as the great master of Emperor Wu doesn't come in person, we have nothing to fear!"
"Yes, what is the status of the Grand Master? How can he care about people like us, let alone Song Xuan has become the emperor now. How can an emperor leave the palace easily?
You can’t have the imperial court send a grand master just for us Wagang troops, right?”
However, at this moment, the temperature in the entire Juyi Hall suddenly dropped sharply, and an icy air began to spread.
The next moment, Song Xuan, who was dressed in a black dragon robe and stepped on a black iron heavy sword, descended from the sky in the dim candlelight with an aura that seemed to freeze the heaven and the earth.
With a thought in his mind, the Xuantie Heavy Sword fell into his hand. Song Xuan looked around at the stunned people in the hall, and a cold voice sounded out.
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong!"
"I'm here in person!"
"Are you surprised or surprised?"
