Chapter 186 Challenge the Emperor? Who is behind the scenes?
Late at night, Tang Ke was waiting for the emperor's summons.
Soon, the emperor's special envoy came indeed, and Tang Ke braved the heavy snow to enter the palace.
"I bow to your Majesty."
"Tang Aiqing, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce is under your jurisdiction. How do you think about this?"
Tang Ke had long known that the emperor had told him that he had entered the palace, which was the case.
He said: "Your Majesty, I think that Guan Hongru and others dare not interfere in the affairs of the court at will, and there must be something strange about it."
"Then what's wrong with you?"
Tang Ke believed that according to the emperor's methods, the people from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce had already been secretly mentioned to the Inspectorate for review.
The emperor had a long time to tell him to come, but he just wanted to agree with him a way to deal with people from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce. After all, he was still the Minister of Commerce, so the emperor could not ignore him and directly let Liu Yanzong sentence him.
"There must be someone planning and promoting this matter behind the scenes!"
“What is the purpose?”
"I don't know yet."
Zhao Huan ordered people to cook a pot of tea and let Tang Ke sit down.
"Tang Aiqing, you are my most valued minister. I am relieved to hand over the Ministry of Commerce to you."
"Thank you for your trust in me, I will devote myself to it."
"Tang Aiqing, you can say anything to me, and I am willing to be honest with you."
As Zhao Huan said, he poured a cup of tea for Tang Ke. Tang Ke was immediately flattered and repeatedly showed his determination to be willing to smash the emperor.
Of course, he knew in his heart that being with the king is like being with a tiger, and it is impossible for the emperor to truly be honest with him.
But the emperor poured tea himself, indicating that the emperor knew in his heart that Tang Ke had many guesses in his heart. If he didn't say it, he would be ungrateful.
"Your Majesty, I think someone wants to use this to disturb the out-of-line."
"Oh, my dear, please continue."
"Your Majesty, the payment of the value preservation fee will occur at the foot of the emperor. I will give Shangguan Hongru a hundred courage, and he will not dare to do this."
The emperor said: "It may also be that he wanted to embezzle the money in the name of collecting value preservation fees."
Tang Ke said: "Jiazi's value preservation fee is too easy to be found. No one will embezzle the money and cannot swallow it. It can only be done by the court to kill people. Once the court kills Shangguan Hongru, someone will find a way to prove that Shangguan Hongru is innocent, but the person has been killed. At that time, all the merchants in Tokyo will be disappointed."
Tang Ke was also worried when he said this.
Because there is a topic involved: When a child kills people today!
Not only do some people want to use this to allocate the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, but they also want to stimulate the emperor to kill people. After killing people, the backhand may prove the person's innocence and show everyone the emperor's random killing!
Thinking of this, Tang Ke didn't dare to think about it anymore.
This is against the emperor!
Zhao Huan said: "In Tang Aiqing, who is doing this?"
Tang Ke hurriedly said: "There are two possibilities, one is the old minister of the Supreme Emperor, and the other is the enemy's spy."
Tang Ke can be said to be very direct.
After leaving the emperor, Tang Ke was still sweating. He went back and had a hard meal before he calmed down.
Soon, the trial of Jiaozi's value preservation fee came to an end.
Shangguan Qi and Liu Yueqing disturbed the imperial court's orders and executed them immediately.
Shangguan Hongru and others of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce were fined 300,000 yuan each for dereliction of supervision!
That afternoon, "Shangguan Qi" and "Liu Yueqing" were sent to the execution ground and their heads fell to the ground.
Yuan Ziyan, Wang Qi and others were disrespectful to the emperor, which was a death sentence for raiding the family and extermination of the clan. The emperor thought that he was unaware of the situation, so he sent a lighter sentence, confiscated his house and sent a disposal to the northwest.
Jiaozi value preservation fee has been abolished.
For Zhao Huan, managing a great empire requires a mentality of taking the most important points, and at the same time, a means of taking the most important points.
What is weightless?
Even if all kinds of pressure are over the body, you must act as calm and composed as if a feather is hanging in your hand.
What is a slight or heavy measure?
It was originally just a small matter, but it was logical that there was no need to make the emperor pay too much attention to this small matter, but in order to purify a certain atmosphere, or quickly adjust the direction.
The emperor can take advantage of this little thing to get angry, make things look serious, attract everyone's attention, and prevent them from getting worse.
An emperor with real skilled methods is definitely not just about playing with power tricks.
If the imperial power technique is used only to measure the political wisdom of an emperor, then the imperial power technique of Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was also a random one, but he was an absolute fool.
Now, Zhao Huan used the method of taking the matter of Jiaozi, and used the trivial matters of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce to get angry in the court!
"The imperial court's decrees are to benefit the people of the world! If the merchants are unwilling to cooperate with the imperial court's decrees, they are opposing the people of the world and against me! I don't need such a businessman! The Song Dynasty doesn't need it!"
The emperor's majestic voice resounded in the court. Today, the morning court, none of the ministers stood up and spoke, and they stood there honestly, waiting for the emperor to get angry.
"I tell you that I want Jiaozi to be everywhere where the sun and the moon shine! Whoever dares to hinder Jiaozi's implementation, I want his head!"
Qin Hui immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to exchange all the money in my family for Jiaozi. From then on, I will only use Jiaozi."
Damn! Qin Hui, you are really an emperor’s dog!
Qin Hui expressed his opinion, and the second one came out was Liu Yanzong: "Today I will ask someone to exchange all the money in my family for a transaction. In the future, whenever I see someone who doesn't need a transaction, I will scold him in person!"
Next were Shi Xun, He Ye, then Xu Churen, Tang Ke, etc.
The important officials in the imperial court all began to use Jiaozi, and the officials below also began to use Jiaozi in order to please the officials above.
After the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce incident, wealthy businessmen in the entire Tokyo city began to take the initiative to exchange for exchanges at the Royal Bank of Song Dynasty.
In the next few days, Koko began to become popular in Tokyo quickly.
For example, whenever Liu Yanzong went to talk to his younger sisters about his life, he would use Jiaozi, and he was still yelling that if anyone did not use Jiaozi, he would not give him Liu Yusi face.
Recently, He Liming has been unable to sleep all night, and he always feels ashamed of the emperor's trust.
Regardless of the injuries on his butt, he was like he was injected with chicken blood these days, searching around the city, digging three feet into the ground, and finding Wu Yi.
On this day, He Liming was eating noodles on the roadside, and he was about to start searching again
His subordinates hurriedly ran over: "He Shangguan! He Shangguan! He found Wu Yi, found Wu Yi!"
When He Liming heard this, he threw away the money and got on his horse: "Take me there!"
When He Liming followed his hands to an abandoned temple in the south of the city, he saw Wu Yi's body. The coroner had arrived and was examining the body.
The blue veins on He Liming's forehead burst out, and Wu Yi was also dead. The clue was broken again!
Wu Yi was stabbed into the back of the neck and died.
Wu Yi was recruited by He Liming himself. He is very good at it and is the best among the imperial guards. There are almost no one who can kill him with one knife.
Therefore, the person who killed him must be the one who knew him and was close to him, and he did not raise his vigilance.
At this time, the people below brought in a beggar.
"He Shangguan, the beggar said that he saw Wu Yi being killed by someone."
