Chapter 32: Tug of War between the Emperor and His Ministers
Yunmeng had breakfast, gave the calligraphy to Nanny Qian, and then went out with Chunzhi.
Mobao, who was left behind, was very unhappy, and Yunmeng had to bribe him with several snacks to appease him.
After leaving the palace, Yunmeng had a great time, strolling towards the Meridian Gate. Since they had a seat, they didn't have to worry about not being able to squeeze to the front.
"Hey," Yun looked at the many shops that were sealed and asked curiously, "Why are all those shops sealed?"
"What are you talking about?" Chunzhi took a look and said, "The owners of those shops gave gifts to Censor Sun and did a lot of bad things.
Now that Censor Sun has been arrested, they naturally have not had a good fate either. Many of them have had their property confiscated and have been thrown into jail.
That’s how those shops were closed down. I heard that many officials’ families have set their sights on these shops. I don’t know who will end up owning them.”
Oh, Yunmeng looked around and found that the locations of those closed shops were not the best, but not the worst either. They were indeed worth buying.
Once you own a shop, as long as you manage it well, you will have a steady source of income.
Yunmeng counted the shops owned by the Prince of Qi's Mansion and found that apart from the imperial mansion and fields, there were really not many shops.
The Prince of Qi's Mansion supports a lot of people. It is really difficult to feed those people just by farming. The grain production in that era is really too low.
Even if the Prince of Qi's Palace did not have to pay taxes, it could at least have enough to eat. If there was a disaster year, it would be difficult to even have enough to eat.
No, the people in Prince Qi’s Mansion must learn how to do business and make money. Only with a steady stream of income can the people in Prince Qi’s Mansion live a better life.
Otherwise, those who follow the Prince Qi's Palace will have a hard time.
Yunmeng decided to ask the old butler to buy a few shops and keep them in his hands. As for what kind of business to start, there was no rush.
"Hey, Qin's pharmacy has also been closed?" Yun Meng looked at the shop that was once crowded with people, with a gleam in her eyes.
This shop has a good location. If I buy it and continue to run a pharmacy, there’s no need to renovate it.
"Qin Lang was exiled, the Qin family was driven out of the capital, and their property was confiscated."
Chunzhi leaned close to Yunmeng's ear and whispered, "I heard that Qingrentang made great efforts behind the scenes to eliminate dissidents."
Oh, a gleam of light flashed in Yunmeng's eyes, and he understood in his heart, so that's it.
That's understandable.
Qingrentang is the largest pharmaceutical merchant in Yan State and also the imperial merchant. Occupying such a good position, it is natural that it wants to dominate the market.
Any peers who challenge their status are within their attack range.
As for the small pharmacies, Qingrentang had no intention of interfering.
Thinking of Qingrentang's procurement channels, Yunmeng smiled secretly again. The owner of Qingrentang must not know that their largest procurement channel has been leaked.
The streets are particularly busy today, with people everywhere discussing the beheading of Censor Sun and his family.
Of course, there are also many people who curse Sun Yushi’s family as a disaster, and those who are cursed are naturally mostly those who are implicated.
In the palace hall, Emperor Yong'an looked at the King of Wei who was kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression and unfriendly eyes.
“Your Majesty,” the King of Wei knelt in the center of the hall, his eyes filled with sadness, “Your Majesty, if you continue to kill like this, you will be cursed for it.”
Seeing the Prince of Wei's "I'm doing this for your own good" look, Emperor Yong'an felt extremely disgusted.
If I remember correctly, it was this old fellow who hoped that all his sons would die at the palace banquet so that the old dog King Wei could push his own son to the throne.
Whenever Emperor Yong'an thought of that thought, he wished he could kill the King of Wei. However, the King of Wei was so powerful and had so many connections that Emperor Yong'an did not dare to act rashly.
Furthermore, since the King of Qi died in battle, half of the 100,000-strong army fell into the hands of the King of Wei.
Before he got the military power, Emperor Yong'an did not dare to press the King of Wei too hard, as he did not want to cause a mutiny.
Nowadays, if a mutiny breaks out, the losses will be enormous, and it may even lead to invasion by neighboring countries, resulting in heavy casualties.
If things go wrong again, you may lose your territory and be branded as a tyrant.
Emperor Yong'an was angry but could not utter a word. He just stared at King Wei coldly and asked him to continue his performance.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is a veteran of three dynasties. Although he has committed some unforgivable mistakes, his crime does not deserve the death penalty."
The King of Wei called out affectionately, as if to evoke the relationship between Emperor Yong'an and the Minister of Rites as a subject.
Officials from the lineage of King Wei all echoed the idea, hoping that Emperor Yong'an would show leniency. As long as the Minister of Rites was not killed, the other accomplices would not be killed either.
This is good news for many officials. There are very few clean officials these days, and they are also afraid that their crimes will be exposed.
Emperor Yong'an felt a headache after hearing this. When Censor Sun and his family were sentenced to execution, Emperor Yong'an thought that the execution of other officials would not be so smooth.
I just didn't expect to encounter so much resistance. Everyone wants to die.
However, Emperor Yong'an was unwilling to not kill the people led by the Minister of Rites. He felt that he could not give an explanation to the students of the world.
And if he doesn't kill those people, I'm afraid there will be people who will interfere and spread rumors that are unfavorable to him.
Let all students in the world be disappointed in him as the emperor!
In short, this matter is difficult, extremely difficult!
At this moment, Emperor Yong'an really wanted to hear the voices of all the officials. He wanted to see what these ministers were thinking.
If we could get evidence of their guilt, would they still dare to be so presumptuous?
Emperor Yong'an also understood that a Minister of Rites was nothing, he was just a tool for the emperor and his subjects to fight against each other.
To behead or not, it all depends on who has the upper hand between the king and his ministers.
But Emperor Yong'an was not a new emperor with an unstable foundation. He had been on the throne for many years and must have his own loyal ministers in the court.
At the signal of Emperor Yong'an, loyal and upright officials immediately stepped forward and started a quarrel with the Wei Wang's lineage.
There were curses coming from the main hall, and the sound was heard quite far away. The guards and eunuchs standing guard outside were extremely surprised when they heard it.
Unfortunately, they didn't dare to look inside and could only satisfy their curiosity with their ears.
Outside the Meridian Gate, Yunmeng squeezed into the best position and came face to face with Censor Sun and his family.
In the past, whenever Madam Sun saw Yunmeng, she would come forward and make some sarcastic remarks or say some words of disdain.
Today, Madam Sun was dressed in prison clothes and her face was filled with fear. When she saw Yunmeng, she no longer looked so superior.
When the two looked at each other, Madam Sun read the words "you deserve it" from Yunmeng's mouth shape.
Mrs. Sun was so angry that tears were streaming down her face. She wanted to curse a few words, but fear made her unable to curse and she could only cry.
After Yunmeng mocked Madam Sun, she focused on observing Censor Sun's facial features.
As the divine calculations were activated, Censor Sun's past flashed before Yun Meng's eyes like a movie.
Yun Meng ignored some of the eye-catching and boring things to speed up the matter and focus on checking the news about the Yun family and King Qi.
At the end, Yun Meng discovered that Censor Sun and King Qi had no connection, and King Qi's death in battle had nothing to do with Censor Sun. Seeing this, a look of contemplation flashed across Yun Meng's face.
