Chapter 732 Why did he dare to be so bold?

The Emperor walked restlessly by the throne, and said:

"If it wasn't for the fire in Nancheng, I wouldn't know there is such a place as the secret door building! Why! There are not enough brothels for you to visit on the surface, so you have to build one in secret, disregarding human life and abusing female slaves?!"

The noble emperor became more and more anxious as he spoke. With his hands behind his back, he turned his face and pointed his chin at Sir Xi, and said:
"The youngest daughter of a big family in the west is in danger. I wanted to investigate the whole story and punish the real culprit severely. I took such a breath of anger on his behalf, but what I found out after the investigation made me have nightmares at night!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his long hand, pointed to the fold on the ground and said:
"Look at it all, look at what is written on it!! Open your eyes!"

After the emperor said so, the other ministers hurried forward, picked up all the memorials, and circulated them in turn.

The master in the west also had a dark face, biting the bullet and watching with everyone.

They looked down, and the emperor said from above:
"He, Shi Yuchou, is just a nobleman in the opposition. His ancestors had some relationship with the royal family, so he dared to openly rob people's property in Nancheng, plunder women from good families, and set up private brothels! If people don't want to sell, they force people to sign. contract.

...Why did he dare to be so bold, why did no one report to let me know when he was allowed to run amok for so many years? !Don't you think this matter is very common and unimportant? ! "

Shen Liuzhen scanned the crowd with his clear eyes, and saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall all lowered their heads, and their thoughts flowed as they made eye contact, almost all their thoughts were written on their faces.

Of course the Xianbei nobles didn't care, they thought it was very common. They had plundered all the way from the grassland to the Central Plains. It was just a tradition to act like this. Who has no part, and who has the right to blame whom?
The Han civil servants, on the other hand, took a sneak peek at the other side from time to time with an attitude of knowing and watching the excitement, and then flashed a barely visible sneer on their faces.

The emperor glanced around the audience, and suddenly shouted:
"I'm telling you! Don't think that those people on the street are meadows for cattle and sheep without owners, and they can be robbed by anyone! They are all my property! They belong to me!"

His tone was very severe, and his anger could almost blow over the roof of the hall. With these words, it was like a slap in the face, and everyone was shocked.

Everyone was startled, when the emperor softened his tone and said angrily:

"You and I rule the world together and share taxes. It can also be said that it is something shared by all of us! Is it someone's private property? Is it anyone who can come up and grab it?!

As long as I don't give it to your yard, it is my property, everyone's property!If everyone takes what is on the street and puts it in their own yard, who will pay the tax?If everyone wantonly kills people, will anyone still farm? ! !
Look at the desolate land outside, if it is all cultivated, how can I not have enough food and grass to fight? !I am afraid that the whole world has already belonged to our Xianbei people!
All because there is no population! !
Why did I order the Hu people in the northern grasslands to move inward!Because there is no population! ! ...The population shortage has reached this point, and while I am trying my best to find ways to increase the population, you are conniving at those useless wastes who rob and kill women from good families? ! ! "

All the ministers were ashamed of being scolded, and they didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen said:

"Your Majesty's words are incisive and reasonable. It is due to my shallow eyesight that I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a courtier to share His Majesty's worries. In this case, I beg you to severely punish the perpetrators as an example.

Moreover, it is necessary to strictly investigate those secret prostitutes, release all those people, and arrange them properly. It is forbidden to open private brothels, and strictly control the number of concubines and servants kept privately. "

After he finished speaking, the Xianbei nobles on the opposite side were a little bit reluctant, but because His Majesty was angry, he scolded them like hell...

When the master of the west objected, his voice was much gentler than before, and he said:
"This... There is no need to limit the number of concubines and servants who are kept privately. Private brothels can be banned."

Shen Liuzhen immediately replied with a sincere face:
"Hey~ This statement is wrong... If you don't control the number of people, you will end up opening a brothel in your own home. If you invite someone to your home as a guest, isn't that cruel and heartless method still used?

After this Shi Yuqiuzheng incident... Master Xixi, think about it, why do they rob and sell Ji concubines so frequently?It's not because this person's life can't stand their misfortune.

If this trend is allowed to prevail, there will be no safety for the women to go to the streets, let alone those concubines who died in a terrible way. Not only will it be unsafe, but they may not be able to be rescued if they are tied up.

Although we are all rich and powerful, we seldom come in and out, and we are rarely in danger.However, those who dare to do this are also rich and powerful, and they are also very courageous, and they don't take other people seriously at all.

What if you run into someone who doesn't open your eyes?Who doesn't have a female family member, so they can't be allowed to stay at home, can they?dont you agree? "

Master Xixi was startled, and glanced around unnaturally, seeing that everyone looked thoughtful and lowered their heads, as if no one was paying attention to him, his embarrassing black face improved a little.

He put aside the embarrassment of face damage, thought about what Shen Liuzhen said, but couldn't refute anything.Isn't his daughter just an ordinary Hu family who was brought here as if he was going south, and was robbed?

Fortunately, my daughter was rescued in time...the culprits who imprisoned her were also arrested.Otherwise, it would be such a shame and humiliation that he would have to slaughter the other party's entire family before it would be over!
Shen Liuzhen saw that Master Xixi had stopped talking, then turned around and said to Emperor Ulei in the main hall:

"So, it is not only necessary to control the number of concubines that are kept privately, but also to formulate laws to strictly prohibit the private killing of concubines and servants of humble concubines. If you don't like it, sell it and buy a new one. Why kill people?"

When Emperor Ulei heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Shen Liuzhen:
"Okay! What Shen Qing said won my heart! In the future, the law will be formed, and any conflicts between life and death will be reported to the government to deal with it! No one is allowed to commit suicide. This is not a grassland to watch the sky and eat. A piece of grassland can only raise so many cattle and sheep. , there will be no food if there are too many people..."

As the emperor spoke, he emphasized earnestly:

"This is the Central Plains! Only when the population increases can there be more food and more cloth, and everyone can enjoy more! Everyone understands this, but when it comes to specific things, why do you stick to the old habits!"

When the emperor said this, he suddenly remembered that he had emphasized the matter of changing customs. He glanced at it, pointed to a Xianbei minister at the end and said:
"Who is that?!! Didn't you say that the upper court uniformly wears Han official uniforms! What's the matter with you?! Are you going to rebel?!"
