Chapter 405 Today in History

The golden crow falls westward, the jade rabbit rises eastward, and the Yellow River Jinkou, carrying the emperor and his entourage bends on the shore. They have to stay here overnight and wait for dawn to continue to move south. Because the people on board are all on the boat overnight, the ship is brightly lit.

The light of fire was reflected in the water, and from a distance it looked like the sky was falling into the mortal world.

On the imperial boat, Yu Wenwen, who had dinner, looked at the Yellow River under the night sky outside, and then looked at the sons sitting in the cabin, and began to induce them to imagine a scene.

It was also mid-April, and on the edge of the Yellow River, their brothers and a family were taken to the river by soldiers. The young children were tied up with their hands and threw them into the river. After a few struggles, they disappeared. The older ones knelt on the shore, waiting to behead their heads one by one.

No one was willing to sit and wait for death, so he struggled hard, but ended up either being cut to death by random knives or being knocked down by someone riding a horse and then trampling to death.

What are the nobles of heaven and the royal family of Zhou? In front of the butcher's knife, they are just lambs to be slaughtered. All the males were killed, and the female family was dragged to the barracks by the soldiers to the military camp and ravaged them. Even if they do not die, they will not be human.

Think about it, how exciting is such a scene?

The princes were sweating profusely as they thought about it.

Yuwen Wen sat down and patted the information on the table: "In the Heyin Incident, powerful ministers killed the emperor, royal family, civil and military officials, just as easy as killing pigs and dogs. You don't think that your head has a few more than others, and one more will grow if you cut one?"

"It's the same by the Yellow River, and it's also April. What happened today in history? Don't think it won't happen again!"

"Today in history" (actually not exactly that day), it was the Heyin Incident of the Yuan Wei Dynasty. Erzhu Rong, who made contributions to quelling the rebellion, used force as a backing to control the power of the court. He killed nearly 2,000 young emperors, queen mothers, royal family kings, and civil and military officials and ministers by the Yellow River.

Such a bloody massacre is about eighty years old, and it seems very far away. So Yuwen Wen next lets his sons imagine the "magnificent" scene in which nearly fifty members of the Great Zhou royal family, father and son, and even grandchildren, went to the execution ground to behead their heads.

That year, Yuwen Wen's eldest son was not yet born, so the princes could not imagine that "spectacular" scene.

So, Yuwen Wen asked the prince Yuwen Weicheng to read the documents with the documents. How did the royal family members who were convicted of committing rebellion go to a dead end in the past two years?

As he was reciting, Yuwen Weicheng choked with sobs of voice, and the princes were sweating like juice and shivering.

Back then, the royal families in Chang'an were not killed on the same day, but were beheaded in batches. Perhaps at the beginning, some people were lucky enough to think that the new king would at least leave a few living things to decorate his storefront.

After all, during the Wei Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, at least the royal family of the Yuan Wei Dynasty lived well. However, in the second year of the elephant, no royal family could survive.

This is not killing people, it is killing pigs. A group of pigs that were wrapped up, watching the butcher drag their companions out to stab them one by one, bleeding them, and the pigpen became empty, and finally it was his turn.

What kings, princes, and waiters were arrogant in the past, and they were surrounded by in and out, but a few minor officials locked them up and took them to the execution ground and passed by with one knife.

The youngest of the royal family who was beheaded was less than ten years old, just in line with the saying: How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?

Although there are not many words recorded, it sounds like a thousand cuts in the prince's ears.

The names recorded in the literature include the murdered royal families, their ancestors, their fathers, and their peers (that was thirty years ago). They kill them as soon as they say they are killed without any effort.

After Yuwen Weicheng finished reciting, his hands trembled slightly. Seeing that his sons were hit hard, Yuwen Wen began to point out: "The nobles of heaven have never seen one more life than a person. The building is about to collapse, and even a royal family can't escape."

"So, don't think that others are respectful to you, don't think that you are rich and wealthy, and think that you can really be rich for the rest of your life, that's self-deception."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Wen knocked on the case of the book: "That year, your great-grandfather was not carrying it in Yecheng, and you didn't have the chance to be born! So outside, don't just follow the crowd and say anything about Shu rebellion!"

"Without the old King of Shu, the country will be over. If others can call Shu rebel, our family will not do it. You must be kind to be a human being!"

In terms of etiquette, a concubine's son can only recognize his mother as his mother, so his mother's grandfather is naturally their great-grandfather. The focus of Yuwen Wen's intention is not to say "gratitude", but to know awe.

Respect the people.

"Why did the Heyin Incident reach that point? It's very simple. If the people can't survive, they will rebel. The court is unable to suppress the rebellion. So the military leaders of various places take the opportunity to become bigger. The warlords bully the imperial power with force and treat the emperor. The royal family is like a pig or a dog. They can kill whatever they want!"

"Remember, the most unlucky thing in the world is the people, and the next is the royal family. Because the world is in chaos, the heroes will rise up, and the best among them will step on your corpses and ascend the throne!"

"In the world, a lot of people are looking forward to the chaos in the world, so that they can catch up with troubled waters. If that is not the case, how can they stand out?"

"In the future, you don't think that being kind to the people is a gift. You are saving yourself. If the people have a bite of food, they will not rebel. If they don't rebel, there will be no chance for those ambitious people to take advantage of the situation!"

"If you leave the town, you should not only crack down on the powerful and encourage the farmers and the people to teach, but also enforce the law impartially and protect the people. Don't let usury be rampant, because usury will make the people unable to survive. They can't survive anymore, so I will take you to die together!"

Yuwen Wen lays out various preludes and finally brings out the key points: usury is a bad disease, a bad disease that corrupts the country. If he is left alone at the beginning, when the people are exploited by usury, their families are destroyed and their families are destroyed and their rise will rise, and the country will be in turmoil and the royal family will be destroyed.

Yuwen Wen was so tired that he instilled this idea in his sons that he would have some limitations and would not commit any evil in the future. He would not be killed by others at that time, and the onlookers would applaud him.

The sons were frugal and had no idea of ​​the cruelty of usury, so Yuwen Wen gave an example to explain.

There are many forms of usury. For example, when the landlords borrowed high interest rates, so that the borrowed farmers could not pay them back in their lifetimes. Therefore, their families were destroyed and their land was merged by the landlords.

For example, the chief general in the army withdrew military pay and deliberately kept his money and food for a long time, forcing the soldiers who were short of money to borrow money, so the profits were greatly increased and they could not be paid back again, and they turned from national guards to private slaves of military generals.

For example, in the years of famine, the court ordered the reduction of rents and exemptions, but the corrupt officials in the local government not only did not implement the enforcement, but also sent additional dispatches, forcing the people to borrow loans and fall into the trap of fire.

There are also some unscrupulous merchants and local officials who deliberately make things difficult for businessmen or real estate owners, either causing their goods to be detained, causing a dilemma, or causing their capital turnover to be ineffective and forced to borrow, and the consequences are naturally to lose all their money.

There are so many things to say. The purpose of usury is to "food profit", which means relying on profits to turn good people into debtors, and into cattle and sheep they raise, cutting their flesh every day, sucking blood, and eating for several lifetimes.

"University harms people. This is a sentence my father wants everyone to remember today. "Yuwen Wen stared at his sons and said seriously: "Now, in the future, whoever dares to give usury... my father will sign him to the East China Sea as the island owner!"

"When you have time, think about the changes in the Heyin, think about the royal family who died tragically in two years, and think about the future, will the whole family be dragged to the execution ground or taken to the Yellow River and a knife is taken to the neck?"

"I really want to make money, but at least I will follow the right path. I don't try so many investment and financial projects, and I still want to lend money to usury..."

Yuwen Wen knocked on the desk and made a loud voice: "If someone really wants to instigate you to lend money loans, it will be either stupid or bad."

Seeing the sons nodding vigorously, Yuwen Wen asked: "Okay, now you can ask questions."

The younger Yuwen Weimin raised his hand, asked his father's name, and asked, "Father, uh......it's not good for usury, right?"

Yuwen Wen nodded: "Yes."

"Then...why did the imperial court release usury on the grassland..."

Yuwen Weimin knew about current affairs, so when he asked this question, it seemed that Yuwen Wen was very terrible.

I always say that people who lend money loans are bad-hearted, but now I have condoned usury behavior. Will it be too shameful and have no shame...

Yuwen Wen coughed dryly and drew his sword.

Show the sword to the sons: "The same knife that chops the people of the Central Plains is a crime or a crime. If it is chopped to the grassland... Liulang said, are the tribes in the Turks people the people of the Great Zhou?"
