The king behind the empress

Chapter 288

Looking at the agitated Patriarch of the Li family, Yuan Lianghan's eyes flashed coldness, and he said indifferently: "Do you really think he cares about Nanjun?"

"This Nanjun is what I'm waiting for after all. We care, but it doesn't mean he cares about Mo Zi."

"Now the eastern border is guarded by Marquis Zhenyuan, and he basically can't move it. As for the northern border, it is almost already under the rule of the king of Bei'an. As for the rest of the counties, they basically agree with the court on the surface. .”

"Based on this calculation, the power in his hands is only the Habayashi Army and the so-called Yuzhi Army. The two add up to only a little over [-] soldiers and horses. With this in mind, do you expect him to guard the entire Dalai Lama?" week?"

Yuan Lianghan glanced at the three of them, seeing that they were all bowing their heads in thought, and continued, "So I speculate that he doesn't care about living in the Great Zhou Dynasty at all, because his military strength is simply not enough!"

"And with the [-] Habayashi Army and the Yuzhi Army there, he can't suppress the entire Dazhou, but it's still no problem to suppress a single county, so he has to establish an image of power, deter everyone, and make everyone not Dare to disobey him, at least on the surface dare not disobey him."

"In order to achieve this goal, do you think he would care about a South County?"

Yuan Lianghan expressed his conjecture that he had been thinking all night. Although it was slightly different from Mo Zizai's plan, he was right about one thing, that is, Mo Zizai didn't care about Nanjun, or to be more precise, Mo Zizai didn't care about Nanjun like them. family.

However, Yuan Lianghan and the others saw no difference. After all, they always believed that they were Nanjun, and if they didn't care about them, they naturally didn't care about Nanjun.

"This son... this son... is so vicious!!!"

Patriarch Chen slammed the table and said angrily, "No wonder the late emperor refused to pass on the throne to him, he is not worthy to be emperor!!!"

"Hmph, do you think the empress is a good person?"

Patriarch Zhao was no longer angry at this time, he looked at Patriarch Chen with dark eyes, and said, "If she didn't come up with the idea behind this matter, how could that trash Mo Zizai come up with such a vicious idea."

"If they go on like this, the country of Great Zhou will be ruined in their hands sooner or later."

"What does the country of Great Zhou have to do with us?"

Yuan Lianghan snorted coldly, and said, "The most important thing now is to keep our own family business."

"If I didn't go along with Mo Zizai at that time, Mo Zizai would definitely destroy my Yuan family, and if my Yuan family was destroyed, do you think you will be spared?"

"So, is that why you calmed down the Wu family's funeral for Mo Zizai?"

Patriarch Zhao looked at Yuan Lianghan coldly, and said maliciously: "We can understand that you dare not fight with Mo Zizai, but you completely fell for Mo Zizai afterwards, and even took the initiative to help him calm down the influence of the Wu family. The troubles come, is this also to protect your own family business?"

Hearing Patriarch Zhao mention this, Yuan Lianghan couldn't help being silent for a moment, and after a long while, he slowly said: "Mo Zizai can take away gold, silver and money, but he can't take away land property."

"Ok?"

Several people couldn't help being startled when they heard this, and Patriarch Chen subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"If this disaster relief can be done to satisfy Mo Zizai..."

Yuan Lianghan paused when he said this, and after scanning the three people around, he said slowly: "The fields and properties can all be included in our name."

"Is this true?"

Patriarch Zhao blurted out this sentence immediately, but after he finished speaking, he found that the eyes of everyone looking at him were a little strange, so he said awkwardly: "If Mo Zizai intends to leave these things to us, it means that he didn't kill us It means, this is a good thing, a good thing."

The Wu family's property and land are really too much. If they can swallow it up, even if only a part of it is swallowed up, it will be enough for the Zhao family's power to reach another level, so the head of the Zhao family cannot help but be indifferent.

Besides Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Chen and Patriarch Li were also a little moved, but Patriarch Li was relatively rational. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Brother Yuan, is this reliable?"

"I heard that Mo Zizai was so greedy that he confiscated the entire property of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for a little money. How could he easily give us so much land from the Wu family?"

"I'm afraid it's not to paralyze us first, and plan to kill us all later?"

"This is impossible."

Before Yuan Lianghan had time to speak, Patriarch Zhao retorted: "As long as we don't disobey him, why would he kill us?"

"What's more, these properties can't be taken away, what else can he do with them? Does he still plan to sell them to us? What a joke."

"Patriarch Zhao is right."

Yuan Lianghan also nodded, and said, "If you do something to us, it will do harm to us, but it will not benefit you at all. If you think about it, Mo Zizi will not take this step unless it is a last resort."

"Although Mo Zizai is greedy, he is more interested in cash. He has never cared about things that cannot be cashed in a short period of time."

"The most important thing is that Mo Zizai still counts on us to do things now. Isn't it reasonable to give us some rewards to make us work harder? Li Xiandi don't need to worry too much."

A few people talked to each other, and quickly dispelled the Li family's scruples. As for the Wu family whose family was ransacked and exterminated by Mo Zizai, they selectively forgot about it, as if it had never happened at this time.

"Since Mo Zizai is willing to use the Wu family's property as a reward, it is only right for us to help him with disaster relief."

Patriarch Li pondered for a moment, and asked, "It's just, how should the fundraising regulations be set?"

"It goes without saying, old rules."

The head of the Li family said directly: "Our money will be returned in full, and the money of those small families will be divided into three or seven."

Speaking of this, the head of the Li family said with some regret: "It's a pity that the people have become poor because of this drought, otherwise we can squeeze a little more oil from them."

"This is what I said, if you haven't squeezed it out, how do you know that you can't squeeze it out now?"

The head of the Li family retorted: "I suggest that this time it is still counted among the common people. Although Yan Wenfu, the county guard, is not responsible, we can use the name of Mo Zizai. Even if it causes public grievances, it will be Mo Zizai's business. It’s not killing two birds with one stone.”

"Not feasible at this time."

Yuan Lianghan directly rejected Patriarch Li's proposal, and then said: "This time not only can't search the people, but also can't divide it."

"After all, these are just a small amount of money. When we get the property of the Wu family, we will be able to earn it back in a short time. But if Mo Zi is angered by this, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"So, I suggest that it is still [-] points, but it has to be [-] points, Mo Zizai [-], and us three."

"Of course, our own money is definitely not included in it."

Several people pondered for a moment, feeling that Yuan Lianghan said he cared, and after discussing the details, they formally finalized the matter.
