Chapter 389: Supported by the surnames, yet still stepping on their heads
Han Qingyun looked at the three father and son in front of him, all of whom looked stingy, and looked up at the sky in silence.
He is a very competent prime minister. Although the State of Beiji is not yet rich, it is much better than before.
These three, father and son, were clearly putting on a show for him.
"I have received a letter from my elder brother, saying that the Qiang specialties that Bahai brought to us were sold for a high price.
The transit station set up in Wuping County last year was in short supply of goods, and now many merchants go directly to Jiyang to purchase goods.
The winery and hot pot base processing workshop in Anling Prefecture are located in Sanxiang County. Yanyan said that he plans to invite some of the remaining soldiers from Wangyue Villa to come out and work.
My father said that the Mingxianglou and Meishifang restaurants in Pingyao Prefecture, Guanzhong Prefecture, and Yucheng will be open soon..."
Han Qingyun talked a lot, and the more Li Zhaoying, his father and his two sons listened, the happier their faces became.
Lü Changping and Zhao Xingwu were stunned. It seemed like these three were just putting on an act in front of their uncle. What a fox!
Li Zhaoying looked at the sky and said, "Luo Zhixiang, Luocheng is my home, and I don't want to disturb the people of Luocheng.
I give you three days. After three days, either you surrender, or the Northern Ji army will attack the city! Ren'er, Xin'er, set up camp!
Shen Meng and Luo Zhixiang looked at the army moving quickly and orderly under the city and looked at each other.
Both of them saw panic in each other's eyes.
Last year, Li Jiren's 100,000-strong army took only three hours to break through the South City Gate.
How long can Los Angeles hold out this time?
The news that the Beiji army had arrived in Luocheng and would attack the city in three days made Emperor Zhaowen panic.
In the Yangxin Palace, a bunch of eunuchs and palace maids were injured, and one of the palace maids was already dead.
When Prime Minister Wei Ming led a group of officials to the scene, they saw the corpse on the ground.
Since Li Jixin appeared in Luocheng last year, Emperor Zhaowen no longer needed to hide his brutality.
The ministers were already accustomed to Emperor Zhaowen's madness.
Yes, what they saw most was Emperor Zhaowen beating and scolding his servants to vent his anger, but today he beat a palace maid to death.
Although I had heard before that eunuchs and palace maids were beaten to death in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Cikang Palace from time to time.
However, this was the first time they witnessed Emperor Zhaowen beating a palace maid to death!
"Untouchables, all of them untouchables! How dare they not resist and let that traitor Li Zhaoying invade Luocheng?"
Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that he was going crazy. In the four prefectures, Li Jiren spent half a year, and a lot of time during that time was working in each prefecture, thoroughly investigating local officials and redressing grievances for those low-level and untouchable people.
If any of the prefecture cities had offered adequate resistance, it would have been impossible for him to enter Luo City in such a short time.
"Are all local officials idiots? They all deserve to be killed, absolutely killed!"
The Minister of Rites, Yang Ziliang, was trembling all over.
When Li Jiren and Lin Pingyuan were confronting each other, Han Qingyun's words almost spread throughout Dayu - Why is your life more valuable than others?
This sentence was like a joke to these officials and nobles.
All people are not equal, and there is bound to be distinction between noble and humble. The lives of the upper class are more valuable than those of ordinary people.
But now, Yang Ziliang has this sentence in his mind: Why is your life more valuable than others?
You are supported by the people of the world, yet you still step on their heads and tell them that you are just untouchables who are at our disposal!
"Chang Jingyu! Are you all good-for-nothings in the Ministry of War? It's been over a year, and how many local soldiers have arrived to defend the city? Recruit, recruit, recruit!"
Chang Jingyu stared at the body of the palace maid, his lips trembling a few times, and he said nothing.
"Qian Weiwen! The Ministry of Personnel... What kind of officials did the Ministry of Personnel select? Four prefectures, nearly a hundred officials, all cowards! Not even as good as Qian Yongda."
Qian Weiwen stared at Emperor Zhaowen, his tone cold: "Qian Yongda sacrificed his life for the emperor, how did the emperor treat his family?"
Emperor Zhaowen was stunned for a moment, then realized that Qian Weiwen was questioning him.
He picked up the inkstone and threw it at Qian Weiwen.
Chang Jingyu pulled Qian Weiwen away and the inkstone fell to the ground.
"How dare you! How dare you!"
As Emperor Zhaowen spoke, he was about to take the horsewhip he had just used to whip the eunuchs and palace maids, but was stopped by the Minister of Revenue Zhang Jingzhi and the Minister of Works Tao Jian.
"Your Majesty, the army of Luocheng cannot stop the army of Beiji. To avoid unnecessary losses, please allow Emperor Jilin to enter the city."
Zhang Jingzhi's words made Emperor Zhaowen even more furious.
"How dare you, Zhang Jingzhi! You are indeed Li Zhaoying's man! Come, throw Zhang Jingzhi into jail!"
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Wei Ming sighed, and before Emperor Zhaowen could roar again, he spoke: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is a minister, how can he be punished for his words?
I, your humble servant, and I have come here to discuss the matter of the Northern Ji army with His Majesty. Sir Zhang's suggestion is not a bad idea."
Unlike others, Wei Ming was chosen by Emperor Zhaowen himself, and Emperor Zhaowen always treated Wei Ming with some courtesy.
But upon hearing Wei Ming's words, Emperor Zhaowen could not help but curse: "Wei Ming, how could I possibly let a traitor enter the city?"
Wei Ming's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, Luocheng cannot be defended. If Emperor Ji Lin wants to attack the city, he may be able to take Luocheng in less than half a day.
Rather than engaging in war, it would be better to have Emperor Jilin and the Emperor sit down and discuss matters; perhaps there will be a chance for a peaceful resolution."
Yang Ziliang, Chang Jingyu, Qian Weiwen and others sneered in their hearts.
I'm afraid even the Prime Minister himself wouldn't believe what he said. There is no way that Emperor Ji Lin and Emperor Zhao Wen can coexist.
Emperor Zhaowen also thought of this. His hands trembled: "How could Li Zhaoying possibly negotiate with me? He would rather kill me..."
Emperor Zhaowen's words stopped abruptly, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"I am the Son of Heaven, established by the late Emperor's personal edict. My throne is legitimate. Li Zhaoying is unfilial and disobedient. He deserves death! My mother and the Empress are right. I shouldn't have let the Grand Empress Dowager go to Jiyang."
If the Empress Dowager was here, as long as she was placed on the city wall, his elder brother would never dare to set foot in Luo City.
When the ministers heard Emperor Zhaowen's words, they felt it was extremely ironic.
Is it really justified? The late emperor, who had been wise and benevolent all his life, must have been blinded before his death.
Wei Ming's hair has almost turned completely white these days, his eyelids are trembling, and he no longer speaks.
Yang Ziliang cupped his hands and said, "Then according to the Emperor, you want the Northern Ji army to directly attack Luocheng, right?"
Emperor Zhaowen slumped down on the dragon throne. If he allowed them to attack the city directly, he would probably die even faster. What should he do? What should he do...
Yu Chun from Empress Dowager Chen's palace hurried over.
The eunuch Feng Jia touched the whip marks on his face and walked towards him with a smile.
"Aunt Yuchun, the emperor is discussing state affairs with the ministers, so it is not convenient at this time..."
There was a gleam of light in Yu Chun's eyes, which made Feng Jia couldn't help but take a few steps back.
She glared at Feng Jia and walked straight into the Yangxin Palace.
"In compliance with the Empress Dowager's decree, Prime Minister Wei Ming and all officials are ordered to oversee the battle at the South City Gate starting tomorrow!"
Minister of Justice Cen Tao was furious. What do you mean by supervising the battle? It's obvious that he is using them as a shield.
"How can the harem interfere in government affairs! Your Majesty, I want to impeach..."
Before Cen Tao could finish his words, he saw the calculating look on Emperor Zhaowen's face.
Emperor Zhaowen was desperate and had tried every possible means. The Empress refused to see him now. Moreover, after Ruan Bai suffered a stroke, the Duke of Ying's Mansion fell into decline and was of little help to him. The only person he could trust was his mother.
"It is said that those who eat the emperor's salary should share his worries. Now is the time for you to share my worries..."
