Lord Moyu was forced to open

Following Zhao Jun's words, everyone kneeling on the ground suddenly felt a sudden change in their hearts.

Last autumn, the Gyeonggi region ushered in a bumper harvest.

Tiangongyuan’s latest composting technology has nearly doubled the field’s output.

The entire Gyeonggi area was used as an experimental field, and the people made huge profits.

Naturally the same goes for the nobles and relatives of the emperor who are based in Gyeonggi.

Doubling the yield per acre allowed them to earn more money, but greed soon followed.

With the fields in their hands, they can earn so much this year. If they have more fields in their hands next year, will they be able to earn more?

Therefore, in order to obtain greater benefits, the nobles and relatives of the emperor who had been honest for several years after Zhao Jun ascended the throne once again returned to their old careers.

They just ordered to get more fields, but there are countless fields in the capital, and they have been divided for many years. Where can they find more land for their masters?

There is only one answer, and that is to snatch it from the hands of the people.

As a result, the people on the disadvantaged side became the victims. The people who had finally had a good harvest and planned to have a good year were inexplicably burdened with huge debts.

The land inexplicably became someone else's, and the land deed in his hand became fake.

The fields of nobles and relatives of the emperor increased.

But since you work for the elders, the people working below always want some benefits, right?

So they simply squeezed the people even more.

Taking the opportunity to seize their wealth and houses, and even worse, openly sell the beautiful women in their families to brothels in exchange for money. Anyway, they rely on them to work for these powerful people. These people have no regard for the king's laws.

The officials below didn't dare to care.

In one year, more than 300 households were forced to death, and more than 1,000 people died in the severe cold.

After some actions, the nobles and relatives of the emperor got the land they wanted.

Local officials and workers received the property of these people.

It can be said that except for the sacrifice of more than 300 households, everyone else has benefited, and everyone is happy!
Whoever did these things knew clearly, and now that His Majesty mentioned it, their hearts became tight.

Zhao Jun turned around, looked at the people kneeling below with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone:
"I thought that you should be able to tell what kind of person I am from my daily behavior, but now it seems that you can't tell what kind of person I am?"

He walked back to the table slowly, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and threw it in front of Xu Shou and others.

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Which of you ate it?"

No one answered.

No one went to eat either.

With their status, how could they do such a thing? Isn’t this a dog?
Zhao Jun smiled.

"It seems that the nobles and relatives of the Song Dynasty are all quite courageous, don't they?

You also know that you are human beings, not animals. "

Zhao Jun smiled broadly and clapped his hands gently.

Several big Han generals on duty at the door stepped in.

He slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist.

Zhao Jun's words continued, but he suddenly shouted: "But why can you do something worse than treating others like beasts?"

After the words fell, Zhao Jun's expression changed, and he waved his hand fiercely, and the five Han generals standing behind the nobles and relatives of the emperor waved their swords in unison.

Five bloody human heads rolled to the ground.

Scarlet blood stained the ground of the main hall of Funing Palace. The blood splashed all over the surrounding dignitaries and relatives who were already frightened.

Five of them were just... killed?
No warning, no hesitation?
Xu Shou stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, trembling all over, looking in disbelief at the emperor who had already walked in front of them and was looking at them with an indifferent expression.

I can't figure out why the other party did this.

They are nobles and relatives of the emperor!
How could he kill them without even a reason?
Seeing their frightened and confused expressions, Zhao Jun slowly knelt down, looked at them expressionlessly and said:
"What? Don't you understand?
Didn’t I learn this from you?

Compared with you, those common people are far different in terms of status and power, so you don't take them seriously, thinking that they are just weeds in the field, and you can just kill them, no big deal.

No, now the difference in status and power between me and you is too big, but I have assumed your role, so you are just a bunch of weeds in my eyes. If you kill me, you will be killed. It is no big deal.

how? You can't accept this, right? "

Lu Yang Wang Zhao Yu was trembling, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I... we... how... how can we... be the same as them? We are..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Jun.

"What's the difference? In my eyes, is there a big difference?"

Everyone was silent.

Zhao Jun stood up slowly, put one hand on the top of Zhao Yu's head, patted it gently, like patting a puppy on the head, and said with a smile:
"When I talk to you about benevolence, justice and rules, you don't talk to me or the people.

OK! From today on, I will treat you the same way you treat the people.

In the future, if I see that you guys are unhappy, I will randomly pick someone to exterminate the family and confiscate the property for fun.

I hope you can carry it longer and let me have more fun! "

Huge fear instantly enveloped everyone kneeling on the ground.

They simply did not dare to think about what they would do if His Majesty randomly selected some of them to confiscate their homes and exterminate their families according to his temper, without any reason.
Then they will live in fear all day long, and they may be anxious every day for fear of being selected into their own home!
"Woooooo! Your Majesty, we were wrong! We were wrong! We never dare again! Never again! Please forgive us! Please spare us! Wuwuwu..."

"Your Majesty! Please let us live for the sake of our ancestors!"

"Your Majesty! We are clansmen connected by blood! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wuwuwu..."

The frightened people's psychological defense finally collapsed and they began to cry and beg for mercy.

Zhao Jun took two steps back and shook his head slowly: "Let you go, but who can let go of the people who were killed by you?"

Many nobles and relatives of the emperor were even more frightened. Fortunately, Xu Shou still had some sense. He knew that His Majesty should have conditions, otherwise he would not be talking nonsense to them here. Instead, he killed them all directly and said immediately:
"Your Majesty, we have realized our mistake. Please tell us how we can calm you down."

Zhao Jun smiled, picked up a piece of mutton again and threw it on the ground.

"I like smart people."

Xu Shou understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the mutton and ate it.

The others were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and immediately swarmed over to at least the piece of meat that was thrown on the ground and started fighting over it.

Looking at the chaotic scramble for honors and royal relatives, Zhao Jun showed no expression, stretched out his hand to take a booklet from Wang Huaien's hand, and said without caring whether they heard it or not:
"Last year, a total of 1,482 people were killed directly and indirectly. You all know who killed them. I won't say more. I have only one request.

A life for a life.

I don’t want the lives of my slaves, I want the lives of you and your tribe, you can make up your own mind.

I want to see your sincerity before the Laba Festival. "

After speaking, Zhao Jun waved his hand and asked Wang Huai'en to drive the crowd out.

On the way out of the palace, I thought about the roster.

All the royal relatives and nobles felt chilled all over.
