Chapter 423;

Disaster caused by expansion

Ever since the incident broke out, Emperor Hongwen had been quite nervous, especially after taking down those prisoners.

He sent many people to monitor every move of the Han family.

But what he worried about didn't happen, which made him very happy.

So when he received the news that Chief Han had come to the capital in person, he already understood that he had won this battle.

A very important initiative was achieved.

After so many years, I finally waited for this day, so I naturally had to make good use of it.

In addition, now that he has snowflake salt in his hand, he wants to take this opportunity to get back some of the salt mine resources from the Han family.

As for those criminal officers, what if they were spared? It is impossible to reinstate the officers.

Even if he agrees, the people of the world will not agree.

Therefore, exchanging the lives of these guys for salt mine resources, even just one, is a profit for him.

Of course, a resource is just a joke. With so many people, how can he let go if he doesn't come up with something decent?

Anyway, the initiative is in his hands, and he is not in a hurry.

"Originally, it was because Wanfu was causing trouble for me, but I never thought that this girl would make a meritorious deed again."

Judging from the current situation, no matter whether Patriarch Han is willing to give up what he wants in exchange, he is the winner.

Anyway, he can definitely get rid of these officials from the Han faction, right?

Besides, if Patriarch Han is really unmoved, after the matter is finalized and announced to the world, there will be a big crisis within the Han family.

People's hearts will be unstable, which will be a good thing for him to clean up the Han family in the future.

Taking out some salt mines is of course the best, and it is also what Emperor Hongwen wanted to see most.

As long as there are salt mines, snowflake salt can be spread rapidly. By then, the living space of the Han family will be compressed smaller and smaller. Once the Han family has mastered most of the salt market, if the Han family still wants to jump around, then the only choice is

A dead end.

As the initiator of all this, Lu Yaoyao was not surprised to have made another contribution.

"Don't you always say that Princess Wanfu is your lucky star?"

"Old slave, it looks like it's not fake at all."

"No matter how difficult it is, as long as she comes forward, I guarantee that Your Majesty will be able to read it safely."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen thought for a while, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"You're right, you're right."

"By the way, is there any news over there?"

Wang De immediately stopped smiling and shook his head and said, "Not yet. After all, the journey is long and it has been so long. I'm afraid it will take a long time."

"Well, let's hold on tight over there."

"yes."

"My lord, tell me why the princess is so lucky every time she does something?"

"Is he really the lucky person your Majesty said?"

At the Jin Palace, Yan Yi also reported on the affairs of the Han family that he had investigated recently, as well as the Han family chief's visit to Beijing and the palace today.

After the report, he was also shocked. The Han family, which Emperor Hongwen had been afraid of for many years and had never been able to find a chance to make a move, actually fell into a passive situation immediately after Lu Yaoyao took action.

No matter what happens this time, the Han family will suffer.

"She is definitely blessed, but what is more important is her shrewdness."

Mentioning Lu Yaoyao, King Jin could not restrain the smile on his face.

From the first contact, he felt that Lu Yaoyao was a very smart girl.

I just never expected it to be so powerful.

The strength of the Han family was not only something that Emperor Hongwen was afraid of, he had also considered how he should deal with the Han family if one day came.

However, the results were not very good.

But he never expected that Lu Yaoyao's simple and crude operation could achieve such a remarkable effect.

"Why is the Han family so easy to deal with? I really can't understand."

"Maybe he is a fan of the authorities."

"What we always think about is the huge impact that dealing with the Han family will have. We don't want to cause turmoil, so we are timid."

"Whether it is the Han family or other aristocratic families, they have seen this, so they dare to be so unscrupulous."

"What about her? But she doesn't think about these things. She is fearless and fearless. That's probably her."

Indeed, whether it is Emperor Hongwen or King Jin, he will consider many things when dealing with the Han family or the aristocratic family.

Let's take the Han family as an example. First of all, they would be worried that officials from the Han faction in the court would resign. If this happens, the court will be left with no one available.

At the same time, they are also worried that Han will use salt to arouse public anger.

Because I was worried that the court would be unstable and the people would be unstable, I was timid.

But Lu Yaoyao didn't have to think about this. These actions put the Han family into a dilemma.

If the seal is hung, different voices will appear within the Han family, which will be detrimental to the Han family itself.

If table salt is used, the imperial court now controls snowflake salt. Although the output may not be as large as that of the Han family, it is cheap and of good quality.

If they withdraw voluntarily and let snowflake salt occupy the market, it will not be easy for them to come back.

In this way, because of her lack of fear, the problem was thrown to the Han family.

"However, the Han family has suffered such a big loss this time, I'm afraid they will hate the princess even more."

"Some things are unavoidable. If they stop here, they may be able to save something. If they continue, the Han family will definitely die."

When he said the last four words, King Jin's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Clan leader, how is it? When will Emperor Hongwen release him?"

As for the Han family, as soon as Patriarch Han sat down in the living room, the new person in charge hurriedly asked.

After hearing what he said, he directly asked when he would be released, without even considering that Emperor Hongwen would refuse.

Thinking about it, the Han family's rapid development in recent years has always been smooth sailing, and every member of the clan has had too much self-confidence.

Now that the Han clan chiefs have personally taken action, from the perspective of the person in charge, Emperor Hongwen must not dare to imprison their people any longer, and can only release them in despair.

"Let him go? Is that so easy?"

Patriarch Han glanced at him coldly, his face looking very ugly.

"No way, you have already entered the palace in person, how dare he not let me go? Isn't he afraid of our Han family?"

"Shut up."

Before the other party finished speaking, he was frightened back by a cold look from Patriarch Han.

"I am the lord of Dongzhou, why are you afraid of my Han family? When did you start to think that the Han family can surpass the royal family?"

Patriarch Han’s voice was very gloomy.

Although he sometimes did not take Emperor Hongwen seriously, he was still afraid of Emperor Hongwen in his heart.

After all, they are the royal family and control the army. If they really want to deal with them, the Han family will basically die.

On the way back just now, he thought a lot. Why did things suddenly become like this?

Why didn't anyone from other aristocratic families stand up to speak for them this time?

You know, when Emperor Hongwen dealt with the Han family, it was an obvious sign that he wanted to take action against the aristocratic family. Why has no one spoken up yet under such circumstances?

When he heard this man's words, he understood that the Han family was too arrogant and that's why they came to this point.
