Chapter 422;

Nothing

This time Lu Yaoyao took action and did not deliberately hide it, so just a little investigation would reveal that she was the one behind the action.

There was such a big commotion and it was still a matter of dealing with the Han family. Emperor Hongwen was not angry at all, and followed her ideas and captured the officials of the Han family.

This result still shocked many people, and at the same time they also paid more attention to Princess Wanfu.

"This is no ordinary person."

"If the Han family offends such a person, I'm afraid they won't have a good life in the future."

When Dong Zixiu talked about Princess Wanfu, his eyes were full of fear.

At the same time, I am very glad that I did not have a bad relationship with my daughter-in-law because of the incident. If I really faced her and faced such a person, my family would not necessarily protect him with all their strength.

"Yes, but speaking of it, it's the Han family's own fault."

Dong Qingshu shook his head and sighed.

"The Han family is developing too fast and going too smoothly, so it is inevitable that it will be a little bloated."

It has been less than a hundred years since the rise of the first generation of the Han family. It has been a smooth journey and they are a typical nouveau riche.

Just because they want to replace the Dong family, they are so arrogant.

The Dong family, even though they don't control the army, if they really want to be so terrifying, it's even worse than the royal family.

After all, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has endured great upheavals and dynasty changes, but it has still remained standing.

Isn’t there a saying like that?

A thousand-year-old family, a century-old dynasty.

Which family can be inherited and developed for so many years, which one is simple?

Half a month after the Han clan officials were captured, the Han clan leader came to the capital again.

The capture of so many of his own faction's capital officials was a huge blow to the Han family.

You have to come here in person.

As for asking officials of the Han family from all over the country to hang up their seals and go away, that was just something the family used to scare Emperor Hongwen.

If you really want to do it, it is absolutely impossible. Those children in your own family can be fine, but what about those who defected to you or won over?

Why do people go to them? Isn't it just for the sake of the relationship with the Han family and to seek benefits for themselves?

Now that I haven't received much welfare, I have to give up everything I originally had. Who would be happy?

As for those people you win over, you use benefits, but if there are no benefits, people are willing to follow you?

Besides, leaving the seal is tantamount to directly challenging Emperor Hongwen. Your Han family has a great cause, and Emperor Hongwen is afraid of it and doesn't dare to touch it.

But what about people other than the Han family?

Isn't it just a joke for Emperor Hongwen to deal with it? Will the Han family protect them at all costs?

If they are still useful, maybe the Han family will still be able to keep it, but now that they have resigned, what benefits can they bring to the Han family?

The effort and reward are not directly proportional, so how could the Han family protect them at all costs?

"Why are you here so soon?"

In the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen raised his eyebrows when he heard Wang De reported to the head of the Han family for an audience.

"Let him in."

Not long after, the head of the Han family came to the imperial study room.

"The common people have met Your Majesty."

At this time, the attitude of the Han clan leader was very humble, which was completely different from when Emperor Hongwen went to find them.

This scene actually made Emperor Hongwen feel very comfortable.

Think about the past, when I needed help from aristocratic families, how they behaved at that time.

Seeing the Han clan leader's attitude today, he let out a fierce sigh of relief.

"The leader of the Korean clan will grant you a seat without any ceremony."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Patriarch Han sat down and the waiter served tea, Emperor Hongwen asked, "Is Patriarch Han here for those prisoners?"

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say that the common people never thought that they would do so many evil things."

"Hmph, when I talk about this, I feel bad in my heart."

"Those bastards dare to do this under the Emperor's feet. They don't take me seriously at all."

Emperor Hongwen was very angry.

Seeing him like this, Patriarch Han felt very bitter.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Not only did you not expect this, but ordinary people would never dare to think of it either."

"My Han family is what we are today because of our Dongzhou. Over the years, the grassroots have been teaching the children of the family not to forget that everything we have is given by the royal family."

"However, as the family business increases and the population increases, it is inevitable that some borers will appear."

"Originally, the grassroots people had no face to come to Beijing, and I felt deeply ashamed of Your Majesty, but those people are all grassroots people, and the grassroots people really have to come."

Saying that, Chief Han stood up and bowed sincerely to Emperor Hongwen.

"The common people beg your Majesty to be lenient and spare their lives."

Emperor Hongwen didn't speak. He just looked at him. After a while, he said, "Clan Chief Han, please get up quickly."

"Since the founding of Dongzhou, the Han family has made great contributions to the development of Dongzhou."

"I can understand what you just said. To tell you the truth, I didn't actually intend to do anything to them at the beginning."

"It's just that the matter is too big and I can't do anything about it. Public opinion cannot be violated."

What he said was not false. He did not intend to deal with it at first. However, it was not because of the so-called development contribution, but because he was afraid of the Han family.

As for why he moved, he was absolutely right, and public opinion cannot be violated.

The news has spread all over the capital, and people are talking in the streets every day. If no regulations are issued, where will the dignity of the court and the royal family be?

"His Majesty."

Emperor Hongwen interrupted him directly.

"I understand how you feel, Patriarch Han. However, I have asked the Third Division to review it, and it is still under review. I am not very clear about the specific things that have been committed."

"Now the people in the capital are paying great attention to it. Even if I have the intention, I am powerless."

"You don't have to worry too much. I will consider it as appropriate when the verification is clear."

Emperor Hongwen was worried about dealing with those guys this time, but as the situation progressed, he became more and more calm.

Now seeing Patriarch Han's attitude, his heart immediately became as stable as an old dog's.

Are you kidding? It took a lot of time to make up your mind, but you also got such a good opportunity.

Just a word from you is like opening up the Internet, which is too cheap.

Of course, when he said he wanted to kill, he didn't have to kill him, it was mainly because he wanted to see the leader of the Han family do it.

However, Patriarch Han sighed and said no more words.

After saying a few simple words, Patriarch Han stood up and left.

"This old guy is really broke."

In the conversation just now, although Emperor Hongwen kept saying that he was powerless and could not go against public opinion, it was actually just a hint.

Public opinion cannot be violated, but it does not mean that it cannot be changed.

Did Patriarch Han understand? He must have understood, but he never let go.

"If you lose people, you can train them again. The salt industry is their foundation. If this is missing, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of their family. Will he let go so easily?"

Wang De said with a chuckle.
