Chapter 962 Private goods
Yang Shu did not beat around the bush, but directly threw his later words into Shen Hao, which was heavy that Shen Hao would never have expected.
"Ye Lansheng is nothing. Although his methods and mind have been chosen for decades, he is too far behind the long-standing heritage of the dynasty. Even if he has worked hard to manage his in-laws or close network of personal connections, he is still not worth a smile.
Humph, Ye Lansheng thought he was a towering tree that could shelter from wind and rain to cover a shadow, and even dared to grasp the national policy, intending to interfere with it just for selfish desires. But how could he know that he was just a crop in other people's fields, and one crop was cut and another one was cut.
Do you know who I mentioned who treat Ye Lansheng as a crop?"
Shen Hao pretended to be contemplating for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think your majesty is talking about those aristocratic families and major cultivators."
"That's right. The ones that really linger on the foundation of the country and the dynasty wantonly absorb the national fortune and potential are those families. They have existed for thousands of years, and some have even been around the same time as the founding of the Jingwu Dynasty. Generations of people have accumulated and dominated almost all the major businesses of the country and the dynasty.
Have you heard of the royal merchants? Humph, except for the "tea" I controlled, the other four so-called royal merchants have nothing to do with the royal family, and they are all clans behind them. The so-called "imperial merchants" are also deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives. Over time, some people who don't know the truth will think it is the business of the royal family. They make the benefits, and they will throw the blame on the royal family.
Humph, what's even more annoying is that the royal family has not had many solutions to these aristocratic families for hundreds of years.
First, they are always above the bottom line of the royal family and will not use anything to make a big fuss to attack the royal family. Second, they rarely end up in person, and they indirectly achieve their goals by supporting officials in court like Ye Lansheng. Even now, there are few direct descendants of aristocratic families in the court who personally participate in the affairs of the system in the court.
If you don’t touch your hands personally, you will leave room for maneuver. For example, even if Ye Lansheng is dead this time, it will be difficult to affect the aristocratic families behind you.
Therefore, Ye Lansheng is just a pitiful crop, and it will be destroyed if it is destroyed, but it cannot solve the fundamental problems faced by the country."
Yang Shu was not an emperor who liked to live a life of scattering life. Regardless of whether he had a "red" attachment or not, his ambitions had existed long ago. He wanted to do something that few emperors could do in the history of the Jingwu Dynasty: prune the aristocratic families and the cultivators who sucked the nutrients of the state.
In fact, the main reason why the aristocratic families and the cultivators can continue to grow and become deeply rooted is that almost every emperor of the Jingwu Dynasty had to use the power of these aristocratic families and cultivators to defeat competitors and win the royal test before ascending the throne. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he naturally had a close connection with the aristocratic families and the cultivators. This connection was not something that the emperor wanted to cut off. Moreover, it was actually the most appropriate to move his whole body and put it on the aristocratic families and the clans, and it was even easy to cause turmoil in the court and the public and civil strife.
However, Yang Shu thought he was lucky, and he was at a very delicate time point. He had basically no close connection with the aristocratic families, and there was room for action.
Now that Nan has won the battle against the barbarians, the barbarians are just as slaughtered. Zuo Yuliang, the Ministry of War, voluntarily returned to the imperial city to serve as Minister of War, which gave the army after the war a new leader, and this leader was obviously on the emperor's side. In addition, 100,000 imperial guards, which gave the emperor the confidence to stabilize the situation after taking action.
"Shen Hao, if you were asked to lead the Black Flag Camp to attack the aristocratic families and the cultivators, would you dare not?"
"I am willing to use my sword to help Your Majesty cut through all the thorns and block them!"
Shen Hao's words were sonorous and powerful, and his expression was in good condition, which seemed to move forward, with a bit of heroic and brave momentum.
He is not a fool, and the emperor on the other side asked him how he could not show any performance after he had said this?
But he said it firmly, but Shen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. He never thought that he would be attracted by the emperor to do such a big thing. This is an errand that he had to move with his head!
The emperor was very satisfied with Shen Hao's answer and smiled: "Do you think this kind of thing is so important, so why would you find yourself directly in you?"
"I don't know."
"The reason is very simple. Because you are the most suitable. Haha, to be precise, it is a long-term plan that your Black Flag Camp is currently implementing in various places. The evil-killing plan is called this name, right?" Yang Shu picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
Seeing Shen Hao's still confused expression, Yang Shu continued to smile and said, "The family of aristocratic families has been deeply rooted for a long time. Ye Lansheng is their crop. It is unlikely that they will hurt their muscles and bones through Ye Lansheng. So they have to find a different approach, and if they are enough to make anyone and any identity be attacked.
Do you think it is appropriate to collude with evil monks?”
Collude with evil monks?!
Shen Hao finally felt that he was still too simple and thought the emperor in front of him too positively and brightly. Yes, when he was still the seventh prince, what methods had he never played? He could do it quietly while pretending to be cowardly and developing for more than ten or twenty years, but he hadn't had a bad intention yet?
Besides, "good" and "bad" are really not just a simple choice for the emperor. In the emperor's heart, the advantage is "good", and the useless and harmful is "bad".
Others call it "framework", but when he comes to the emperor, he is "guiding investigation". Ye Lansheng can write a letter of guilt first and then investigate the case. Why can't the aristocratic families and clans who are obviously regarded as stumbling blocks by the emperor to deal with it in the same way?
Shen Hao also understood.
However, there is not much time for Shen Hao to think carefully. The emperor's words asked by him have been put in front of him. Any slight hesitation may cause trouble for him. So Shen Hao hurriedly bowed and replied: "I also agree with those aristocratic families and cultivators who have been hiding in the world for many years, and secretly do not know how dirty things are. Evil monks have been rampant in various places for many years. If you want to say that they have nothing to do with those aristocratic families, I don't believe it anyway. Fortunately, Your Majesty is truly insightful, which gives me a new thought to promote the plan to kill evil."
Don’t worry about the ridiculous loopholes and contradictory points of this statement. Anyway, it’s just used to express your opinion. Let me explain it: I understand what you mean.
Yang Shu smiled and nodded, and even raised the wine glass in his hand to signal Shen Hao to drink a glass with him...
