Chapter 447 Ning Fan's Reminder

"Your Majesty, the northern border is 800 miles away, hurry!"

"What?" Emperor Yu's expression suddenly changed when he heard the word "northern border". Could it be that there was another incident on the border: "What happened in the northern border?"

" Your Majesty, the Hu family colluded with Mobei and has been trading with it privately for many years, secretly transporting grain and salt to the northern grasslands in exchange for military equipment and armor!"

"After the Jinyiwei found out about this, they asked Duke Jingguo to send troops to raid the entire Hu family, seized a dragon throne, three sets of dragon robes, more than a thousand pieces of armor, and more than ten thousand military equipment."

"The evidence of his crimes has been sent to the capital by my subordinates."

While speaking, the scout took out a letter wrapped in layers from his arms, handed it to Wei Ying, and presented it to Emperor Yu.

"Hu family?"

"You mean the Hu family?"

"Asshole!"

Emperor Yu's face had turned as black as coal. What did the Lu family's rebellion have to do with the Hu family?

This kid actually dared to wipe out two of the four great families in one fell swoop?

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Ying presented a stack of secret documents between the Hu family and Mobei. Emperor Yu only glanced at them and his face turned pale. Veins popped out on his forehead. He was obviously really angry.

"Good kill!"

"The Hu family is a traitor. My Dayu and Mobei have been enemies for a hundred years. My Central Plains and the barbarians have been fighting for more than a thousand years. But now, his Hu family dares to defy the world and have secret dealings with foreigners."

"They deserve death!"

Emperor Yu slammed the table and stood up. He handed the letter in his hand to Wei Ying and said coldly: "Let all the adults see, my Dayu's prestigious family!"

"It's really ridiculous."

Looking at Emperor Yu's furious expression, everyone dared not speak out to persuade him. Lin Qiushi, Shen Li and others each took a few secret letters and their faces turned pale.

"Your Majesty, the Lu family is guilty of treason and the Hu family is guilty of collusion. They have both been brought to justice."

"But the Lu and Hu families are the four most prestigious families in Dayu after all. They are extremely prestigious among the noble families. I suggest that these secret letters be made public so that the people of the world can criticize them."

Shen Li was the first to express his opinion, but Lin Qiushi, who was standing beside him, froze in his face and said softly, "Lord Shen, although the Lu family is guilty of treason and deserves death, they are the descendants of Dayu's meritorious service after all. Now their property has been confiscated and they are being executed. Why not give them a chance to be executed?" How much reputation can you leave for them?"

"Reputation?" Shen Li sneered and said indifferently: "The Lu family's rebellion is disloyalty, disregarding the people and raising an army to make trouble is unkindness, receiving the emperor's grace for generations, but not thinking of repaying the country is unrighteousness, turning away from ancestors and rebelling against the country is unfilial. "

"How can such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person have a good reputation?"

Lin Qiushi was speechless by what Shen Li said. He didn't expect that this old man who had always been gentle and kind would be so sharp at this time.

"What about the Hu family?"

"The Hu family?"

"Humph!"

"They started out as a group of horse bandits, occupying the northern border for many years and colluding with mountain bandits. They have no reputation to speak of."

"The so-called four great families are just a joke."

Shen Li looked at Emperor Yu and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I once again request the opening of the imperial examination to gather talents from all over the world for the country."

"Your Majesty, I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

Hearing Shen Li's words, people like Chen Qinghe, Xie Xingxian, Ji Sui and others came out to ask for orders. Emperor Yu thought for a moment, looked around, took in everyone's expressions, and said softly, "The imperial examination system in Huainan has not yet been implemented. This matter will be discussed later."

"Okay, let's leave the court first!"

"Kong Ming, follow me."

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang silently followed Emperor Yu out of the Zhengde Hall, and Wei Ying followed them from a distance, all the way to the Imperial Garden.

"Kong Ming, you have also seen the resistance in the court now. I want to open the imperial examination, but it is a long way to go!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang showed a peaceful smile on his face and said lightly: "The implementation of the imperial examination is a matter of time. The most urgent task is to take advantage of the execution of the Lu and Hu families and take the opportunity to conquer the two counties of Changyan and Beihe."

"These two counties are located in the north of the Yangtze River, but belong to the east of the Yangtze River. They border the East Huai River in the east and are rich in products. In addition, the resources left by the Lu family are abundant. Your Majesty only needs to send people to conquer these two counties, and you can control the right to speak in the north of the Yangtze River."

"As for the aristocratic families in the world, His Royal Highness Prince Yong has already predicted it."

"Oh? "

"Tell me about it!"

"Suppress one group, support one group, and win over another group!"

"Now that the Hu and Lu families have been destroyed, the resources of the two families will inevitably be taken away by other families. At this time, if the court intervenes and indirectly controls the families in Jiangdong, so that they can speak for the court, then it will be a great help whether it is to implement new policies or reform and strengthen the country."

"Yes!"

Emperor Yu nodded in agreement, then smiled and said: "The second brother gave me a surprise this time. After destroying the Lu and Hu families, no one in my Great Yu can control the court from now on."

"This move is a great achievement!"

...

Chang Yan, Lu Mansion.

In the treasury, the sunlight refracted into it, and a golden luster instantly covered the entire warehouse.

"Your Highness!"

"The Lu family's treasury is spread all over the world, and this is just one of them."

"There are countless rare treasures, gold, silver and jewelry!"

Jiang Li's pupils were all golden under the reflection of the golden strips. Ning Fan was also distracted for a moment, and then said sadly: "This is just gold and silver!"

"You know, the Lu family made their fortune by relying on grain!"

"Hehe!"

"The people in the four borders can hardly get enough food and clothing, and the grain in the Lu family's granary is moldy!"

"It's really funny!"

After just one glance, Ning Fan lost the desire to continue reading. The Lu family's problems did not arise overnight. Before Dayu founded the country, the Lu family was already a first-rate and famous family at that time.

However, the Lu family was relatively lucky. They were on the right team at the time. Therefore, not only was the family power not liquidated, it actually became more prosperous.

It is in line with that sentence, an iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty.

However, his butcher's knife was indeed sharp enough, and he killed a lot of people and got a mountain of gold and silver in exchange.

"Jiang Wei!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Jin Yiwei, it's time for a change."

Ning Fan glanced at him meaningfully, but Jiang Yu trembled all over. He lowered his head and carefully observed his lord's expression: "What do you mean, lord?"

"Troubled times are important. Therefore, the Jin Yiwei has the privilege to control life and death. But now, the peaceful age is coming."

"You don't understand the principle that if it is too strong, it will break easily, right?"

"Understand!"

Jiang Wei took a deep breath and slightly cupped his hands: "I know what to do."

"Um!"

"Escort the Lu family back to Beijing with the necessary personnel and hand them over to the three divisions for trial."

"No matter what the court does, Jin Yiwei is not allowed to interfere. Leave the blame to my father and let him have a headache!"

"Now that the four parties are stable, we have to return to our hometown in Huainan and continue to embark on the road to becoming a great power!"
