Zhao Ning pretended to be surprised, hurried over and said, "Everyone, what do you mean?"

King Zhao Mata of Yan trembled and said, "The officials and ministers are guilty."

"What are you guilty of, please hurry up."

Several people dare not get up.

Zhao Ning helped King Yan up first: "I heard that King Yan has a leg problem, is it all right, do you need me to ask the imperial doctor to see Uncle Yan?"

King Yan also pretended to be flattered, as if he was about to shed a few tears, and quickly said: "Thank you for your pity, I'm fine."

"Okay, it's fine."

Zhao Ning acted like I was your good nephew, and said to the other successors: "Everyone sit down, everyone sit down, today we will only talk about family affairs, and we are all from our own family."

They didn't dare to hesitate and sat down quickly.

But that looks like a prisoner waiting for training.

"Uncles, I don't really have any other intentions to find a successor this time. Recently, some unpleasant things have happened at home. I believe you have all heard of it."

Don't even use "望", use "I".

In the Song Dynasty, when the emperor generally used the address "I", it meant that he was very close.

Several people nodded quickly, indicating that we know about this.

Zhao Ning said again: "I know you are blaming me, and my heart hurts too."

Originally, several people thought that they would face the official's questioning and punishment when they entered the palace.

After all, the rectification is very strict this time.

King Yun conspired against him and was sentenced to death, and all the other participating princes were all assigned.

The resulting rectification of the clan's family traditions is also being rolled out. Headed by Kang Wang, he is investigating whether the land is concealed, the people's land is forcibly seized, and the court's money is embezzled.

According to gossip, King Jing died on the road unexpectedly, and it is unknown who did it. The Zhao family was angry about this and they are investigating the murderer.

But who did it, I'm afraid...

Several people secretly glanced at Zhao Guan's house, but said nothing.

But looking at it like this, it seems that they are not going to blame them, and I feel more or less relieved.

Zhao Si, the king of Yue, said: "Relax the officials, these things are not the official intentions, they are their own crimes."

Self-inflicted?

Hehe, I was waiting for you to say this.

The king of Yongning County also said immediately: "The officials take care of the holy body."

Zhao Ning sorted out his emotions and said, "I have prepared some food and wine."

Not long after, good wine and good food were served.

After everyone drank some wine, they seemed to let go. The king of Yongning County said: "The officials, I heard that King Jing passed away accidentally during the distribution. The officials must seek justice for King Jing!"

King Yan and King Yue on the other side felt their scalps go numb. King Yongning County is still too young. He is 26 years old this year and has too little insight into the world. Can such words be said nonsense in front of Zhao Guan's family now!

Zhao Ning also had a sad face: "I have also heard that, and I have sent people to investigate."

"Official Shengming!"

Seeing this, King Yan and King Yue were suspicious. Could it be that King Jing's death had nothing to do with Zhao Guan's family?

Zhao Ning sighed again, and said, "My heart aches when I send out King Jing and the others, but if I don't do this, it will be difficult for me to explain to the courtiers and the people of the world."

All the people said: "Your ministers can't share the worries of the officials. I feel ashamed!"

Alright, the atmosphere has been stirred up, the words have been said in place, it's time for a showdown.

Zhao Ning said again: "Yesterday, King Kang gave me another memorial, in which several people were mentioned."

As soon as Zhao Guanjia changed the subject, the smiles on the faces of several people froze, their hearts trembled suddenly, they got up quickly, and knelt down: "I am afraid."

"I have already lost several brothers, and I don't want to add another life, but I am also very embarrassed. King Kang enforces the law impartially, and the ministers are watching. I..."

A few people said: "I dare not embarrass the officials, but I ask the officials to forgive the officials and family members for the sake of the same clan and blood."

"If this is not the case, you hand over your wealth and fertile land, and I will retain your titles. Each household will leave 500 acres of fertile land and [-] yuan of family property. I can also give an explanation to King Kang and the others. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Everyone hated King Kang a hundred times in their hearts. Thinking about what happened to King Jing and those people, they were glad that they had not participated in the case of King Yun, otherwise they would have been exiled and died on the road for no reason.

Thinking about the conditions offered by Zhao Guan's family now, it is simply too good!

"The sacred candle of the official family shines all over the world, and the ministers and others follow the will of the official family."

"Okay, everyone is fine."

Everyone left separately.

This is the so-called combination of grace and power.

The clan of the Song Dynasty was far more than Zhao Ji's sons who participated in the rebellion.

Those who participated in the rebellion would naturally not end well, but there are still many who did not participate in the rebellion, and we cannot kill them all, let alone copy so many houses in one go.

The morals of the world are nothing more than the three words "emotion, reason and law". There cannot be only reason and law, and human feelings must be taken into account when dealing with things.

What's more, in ancient times, it was a clan society, and the clan was the members of the Zhao family. If the clan members were exterminated, what would the people of the world think?

Get rid of those who participated in the rebellion with thunderous means, intimidate the rest, and at the same time encourage Kang Wang to continue to investigate, making them even more afraid, and finally come out to be a good person and clean up the situation.

So hello me hello everyone.

However, Zhao Ning's behavior today is not as simple as dealing with these four people.

It’s nothing more than telling the other county kings and dukes that King Kang’s investigation is tight now, everyone should take a step back, take the initiative, there is nothing wrong, I will leave some for you, don’t make things too rigid.

Sure enough, after the four of them returned, they spread the word in private.

On the second day, other clans clamored for a face-to-face meeting, including some princesses from the Shenzong era, as well as married emperor concubines and son-in-laws from the Song Huizong era.

Zhao Ning also met briefly, and both parties said that family harmony and stability are very important.

Zhao Ning also fully expressed the pain of being the head of the Zhao family, and also expressed that for the sake of the overall situation, he can balance the balance and not confiscate the mansion.

Each of them handed over some shady money, assets, and land properties in the past. If they want to do business in the future, they just need to do it seriously.

It can be said that after the previous deterrence, many clans suddenly became sympathetic to Zhao Guan's family.

The confiscated properties are still increasing.

You know, the clan of the Great Song Dynasty was not only in Bianjing.

After Zhao Kuangyin's second brother Zhao Guangyi came to power, that is, the descendants of Emperor Taizong were all in Bianjing. Cai Jing arranged for Zhao Kuangyin's descendants to Nanjing Yingtianfu, while the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin's third brother Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei were in Luoyang, Xijing.

Although these clans have no real power, it is still possible to use their status and status to acquire some fertile land and do some business in violation of regulations.

There are also a lot of fertile land and money there.

The clan of Bianjing has to hand over to the public, and the clans of Ying Tianfu and Luojing have to keep up!

After all, the role model has already been set here for you.

Chapter 169 Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's exploits (second update)

In the early summer of April, after a night of wind and rain, there was a faint mist in the sky.

Until noon, the heat slowly evaporated, and the wind blowing from the Bian River was mixed with the breath of green grass.

The Fan Tower in front of the Imperial Street is at a time when there are endless streams of guests.

It was here that Zhao Ji met Li Shishi back then.

Bianjing has been at peace for more than a year now. Although the north has been destroyed by war, the goods from the south have been transported to Bianjing along the well-developed water transport and entered every corner of the city.

Life slowly becomes richer.

In the tavern area in front of Fanlou, the phoenix trees beside the tile-roofed houses were lush and lush, and several people sat under the trees and ate steamed buns.

Judging from his clothes, he is a merchant who came to Tokyo to do business.

A voice came from a distance: "Extraordinary! The imperial court wants to recruit 80 imperial troops for border defense!"

"80 forbidden troops?" A man sitting under the big tree next to the Liu family's Shentan Xiangxiang shop was emotional and puzzled, "Does the imperial court still have the financial resources to recruit so many troops?"

This man was wearing plain clothes with rolled up sleeves, and his skin was dark. He could tell from a glance that he had been traveling and transporting goods all year round, and his accent sounded like he was from Hebei.

"There is no way around this. The gold thieves are rampant. Today, Zhao Guan's family is a hero, and they don't want to show weakness. I heard that the Shangdang battle defeated the gold thieves. The battle in the north is quite smooth!" After swallowing the steamed buns, a middle-aged man said, said with emotion.

He said again: "Old Zhang, what are you doing in Bianjing, I forgot again."

Zhang Mao said: "Some silk has been shipped over to sell, let's see if we can get a good price."

The person next to him asked again: "Hey, don't tell me you heard that the people's livelihood in Hebei is dying. All those who fled have fled. Where is there any silk?"

"Escape? Where can I escape? If I leave my hometown, it is a dead end. Where can I escape!"

"Didn't you just come out?"

Zhang Mao replied: "I was also forced to make a living and earn a living."

"You came out, where are your wife and children?"

"Dead, died the year before last."

"Then you alone?"

"There is also a younger sister, who will be brought to Bianjing together to see if there is a bite to eat."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Mao got up, bowed to several others and said, "Thank you, otherwise, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get to Bianjing."

"It's okay, it's okay, hahaha, so that girl is your sister, I thought it was your concubine."

Zhang Mao didn't say much, he left here.

After a while, he entered the fan building, and in a private room in the fan building, he met his "sister".

This is a beautiful girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with exquisite facial features, fair skin, and Xiaojiabiyu.

Especially those eyes, like the water of a lake in spring, are so soft and intoxicating.

"Are you used to it here?"

"I've only been here for a day, so I'm still not used to it."

"You will get used to it slowly, and if you encounter any problems, please tell me at any time."

"Ah."

Not long after, the newspaper seller's voice came from the bridge outside: "Extraordinary and extra! The imperial court is recruiting 80 forbidden soldiers. The number of soldiers is sufficient. Come and sign up!"

A new round of recruitment orders from the imperial court has been issued.

It is claimed to be recruiting 80 Imperial Guards, but in fact, Zhao Ning is actually recruiting 10 Imperial Guards now.

The losses in the First World War of Shangdang were too heavy, and the [-] elite casualties were nearly [-]. It was time to urgently replenish the source of troops.

The recruitment of the Guards Brigade is all under the responsibility of the Military and Political Yuan.

As for the 80, that's for the secret agents of Jin Guo.

At noon, after listening to Mei Zhili's report, Zhao Ning said, "The 1200 million guan that Mr. Zhang applied for, let's ship it first."

"But now the national treasury has only 800 million coins in total."

"Didn't some of the clan's stolen money be confiscated recently?"

"Some of them are still being counted."

"Then give 700 million guan first, and send it as soon as possible."

Mei Zhili hesitated for a moment, then said: "There are a lot of fertile farmland in Guanzhong, why don't you use the farmland as compensation?"

"I understand what you mean, but the fields in Guanzhong do not seem to be owned by the imperial family. It is not that simple to move the fields there. Most of the fields confiscated by the clan are on Jingji Road. It is impossible to use them as compensation for the soldiers who died in battle in Shaanxi."

Mei Zhili said: "I wrote to ask the transfer envoys of various roads in Shaanxi. Because of the war, some people fled south. Some barren fields have no ownership, but they can be confiscated to reward military meritorious service."

"You can negotiate with Zhang Jun on this matter. If it's a land of no owner, you can try it out, but for the 700 million guan, let's move it over quickly."

"Yes, sir, let's do it now."

Just as Mei Zhili was about to leave, he remembered something. He said, "Officials, the imperial court has so many fields at present, and the compensation for Jingji Road can be compensated with fields."

"At present, the market price of one mu of medium-sized land in Jingji Road City is 2 guan. According to the pension amount, each person will be given 10 mu of land, plus 10 guan, it will be enough."
