Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 921: ：Crossing the river and burning the bridge

This also made Han's defense useless.

This kind of excuse was completely turned into sophistry amid the joint appeal of tens of thousands of literati and Mo students in the north, and the calls for help from all the people.

Qun Cong’s eyes are sharp.

The Han family was outraged by the public, but it was also true.

The Queen Mother, who was lying ill on the bed, could not lie down any longer.

In the morning of the second day, Aunt Shen was asked to help him go to the Golden Palace: "What is the truth of the case? Mr. Ye is still investigating. Before the case is thoroughly investigated, Mr. Hange and all the descendants of the Han family in the court are... Go back home and have a good rest, and don't cause unnecessary disputes in the court, so as not to miss the court."

Mr. Han Ge was naturally dissatisfied and immediately knelt down: "The Queen Mother's move is really biased..."

Lao Yu Ge couldn't help it immediately and snarled at him: "Your Han clan is a well-known and famous family in Xi'an, and it can be called a model of the noble clans in the north."

Han Ge Lao felt keenly that this might not be a good thing to say, but it was also a fact. He couldn't say "no", so he braced himself to deal with it.

Sure enough!

“But,” Old Yu Ge changed the topic and his words suddenly became sharp: “In the past, the northern gentry jointly fabricated trumped-up charges and harmed King Zhou Li’s family. Later, you, the northern gentry, returned to their old ways and slandered Shao. Princess Yi framed King Wu Mu, and the northern gentry despised the laws and regulations, provoked the majesty of the Tian family, ignored the royal decency, deceived the emperor, and committed crimes. This is treason and unethical. This is also true."

These words directly hit Mr. Hange's lungs: "Mr. Yuge, don't talk nonsense. In the case of King Zhou Li, all the people involved have been..."

Master Qi intercepted his words: "Wei Chen believes that what Mr. Yu Ge said is true. Since the Han family prides itself on being the first family in Shaanxi, it represents all the noble families in Shaanxi. The current case of Liu Dagen, The victims are Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mudingbei. This matter is serious and the Han family is not qualified to continue to participate in court affairs until the suspicion is cleared."

The courtiers agreed one after another.

Han Ge Lao and his party knelt down on the ground with a plop: "The Queen Mother, our Han clan has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and we have absolutely no disrespect for the imperial court and the Tian family..."

"Shut up," the Empress Dowager sternly shouted: "It was the Ai family and the courtiers who jointly promoted Princess Shaoyi to go to the north. You gentry in the north wantonly spread the word that Princess Shaoyi has no rules and regulations and is disrupting the law. Is that right? Do you want to detain a member of the Ai family for intervening in the harem, causing trouble, and being a hen and a chicken?"

Although Mr. Han Ge was dissatisfied with the royalists and used the reputation of Princess Shaoyi to achieve success in the court, he only dared to be dissatisfied in his heart and did not dare to say another word.

"More than ten regions in the north were hit by drought. More than 20 million people were affected, and four to five million people fled the famine. However, fewer than two million people actually escaped to Liaodong alive. Longcheng It is the gateway to the three places in Beijing. More than one million disaster victims are gathering at the moment. There is only one door separated from Beijing." The Queen Mother said in a calm voice: "If the refugees cannot be resettled for one day, can everyone here sit back and relax?"

Han Ge's heart was in his throat. The Empress Dowager's intention was very clear. The common people were suffering from the disaster, but the gentry in the north did not want to donate to the victims and were still busy fighting.

Where will the people live and die?

Where should the imperial laws be placed?

Where to place the Great Zhou State?

The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice: "May I ask your ministers, why did the imperial court issue a national policy to relocate the victims to Liaodong?"

No one dared to accept this statement.

The Queen Mother did not care, and only said: "First, the victims poured into Jingzhao in large numbers and gathered outside the city, which has seriously threatened the stability of Jingzhao;"

"Secondly, the Liaodong area is close to the disaster-stricken northern region. There is still a way for the victims to survive when they flee to Liaodong;"

"Third, Liaodong is a vast and sparsely populated area that can accommodate millions of victims. The 300,000 You army can also intimidate the victims to prevent them from gathering into a force and causing frequent riots;"

"Fourth, the Liaodong area has not been affected by the drought. Princess Shaoyi has grown high-yield sweet potatoes, which can be promoted in Liaodong. In the long run, the victims can recuperate there;"

"Fifth, there are trade routes in the north, and the materials in the hands of the gentry can help the victims."

A rapid coughing sound came from the tent, and the Queen Mother did not cover it up.

Hearing this sound, he could not stop coughing for a while, and there were shadowy figures waiting behind the tent. The courtiers had different thoughts and ulterior motives.

The coughing continued for a while and then gradually subsided. The Queen Mother's hoarse voice came out again: "When it was proposed to issue a national policy in the northern border and relocate the victims to Liaodong, all the ministers present agreed with their hands. , this is not the arbitrary behavior of the Ai family, nor is it the result of the harem interfering in politics."

It was the northern region that was affected by the disaster, and Jingzhao was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. It was under the rule of the emperor, a place where powerful people gathered, and it was the most prosperous place in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

In the eyes of the common people, even if the big men in Beijing leak some food through their fingers, it is enough for them to survive. If the common people suffer a disaster, why don't they run to Jingzhao? Where else can you run?

If no national policy had been issued at that time, the number of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing would have only increased, and closing the city gates would have been just a temporary measure. If the imperial court had been inactive and would not have found a way to resettle the victims, it would have kept the refugees out. , the Great Zhou Dynasty will break out into an anti-Zhou trend, with disastrous consequences.

At that time, in the entire northern region of the Zhou Dynasty, only the Liaodong area was still willing to accommodate refugees and set up refugee camps. Only then did the courtiers come up with this method of "diversion of trouble to the east".

The Queen Mother paused for a moment and then said: "Now more than a million refugees have arrived in Liaodong. The refugees are running everywhere and gathering in crowds. The situation of frequent riots has been resolved. You are all stable and at ease. Do you want to burn down the bridge, abandon the problem, and give this hot potato to King Wu Mu completely?"

This is so straightforward that it is impossible to refute. ~IndoMTL.com~ The reason why the northern gentry headed by Mr. Han Ge dared to pervert national policies was because whether anything happened in the internment camp was the responsibility of King Wu Mu and the local government.

Even if King Wu Mu tried his best not to be accused by the court, he would still settle the issue of the refugees.

Of course, even if something happens, where are the 300,000 Youjun? It's not like he can't suppress a mob, and he can't threaten them anyway.

It would be better if King Wu Mu was questioned by the court afterwards.

Otherwise, King Wu Mu would take in the refugees and his reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty would rise. At that time, the identity of the vassal king would not be a stumbling block to King Wu Mu, and those who were suppressed would become the northern gentry.

Compared to the vassal kings, the gentry posed a much smaller threat to the court.

The imperial court would not really do anything to the gentry.

The worst case scenario is that once the gentry's perfunctory national policy comes to light, a bunch of young gentry will be pushed out to take the blame and be the scapegoats.
