Chapter 1258 A Drastic Change in Temperament

After his brother received the letter, he immediately went to see the emperor.

Because of the relationship between Emperor Jingwu and Emperor Jingtai, the emperor still trusted his eldest brother. After reading his letter and the deed from Doou Bank, Longxin was delighted and decided to stand on their side, promising to take action against those who wanted to cheat. The new money bank amassed wealth, and when the farmers were unable to pay the interest, they allowed the farmers to use their fields to offset their debts.

The Shen family was the first to suffer. The emperor personally issued an imperial edict and asked the eunuch to curse Rongenhou at the door of Rongenhou's house. Even Rongenhou, who was a relative of the emperor, wanted to rob farmers from the imperial court. Tian Di was scolded.

He also scolded Marquis Rongen for being so lustful that he allowed his concubine to do evil outside, regardless of the distinction between his concubine and concubine, and was unfit for the position of a marquis!

Marquis Rongen was almost scared to death, fearing that the emperor would take the opportunity to take away his title. He kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, and finally fainted after being scolded.

This news spread throughout the capital before dark, and everyone in the aristocratic family, royal family, and high-ranking officials was in danger. Ninety percent of the families gave up the idea of ​​using the new bank to make money.

When Marquis Rongen woke up that night, he immediately wrote a note asking the emperor to confer his eldest son as the crown prince.

The uncle of the Shen family almost went crazy with joy. He didn't expect that the title of heir apparent, which he had been worrying about for so many years, was actually given to him by the fourth child himself.

The wife of the eldest son of the Shen family, Mrs. Sun, was a good person. She went back to her natal family, where she expressed her gratitude to the emperor for the emperor's grace. She also suggested that her natal family donate money to the court. She also had a nice name, saying Although the Sun family was a civil servant and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, they were willing to donate money to the court for military supplies, help the court attack Dajong, and avenge the dead border residents!

What he said was extremely sincere. Emperor Jingyuan was overjoyed and issued an order to praise the Sun family. He quickly approved Marquis Rongen's request to make the eldest son of the Shen family his heir apparent.

The Sun family, the Sun family and the Shen family uncle made a big splash.

Because the Sun family had made a start, the aristocratic families and high-ranking officials in the capital could no longer pretend to be blind, and donated money to the court one after another. As a result, the emperor made a fortune.

But in his heart, he was not grateful to these wealthy families and high-ranking officials. Instead, he felt that they were the cause of trouble. They hid so much money but refused to give it to him. If it weren't for Dachu, how could they have so much money? !

The emperor scolded these people who offered silver in the Mingwei Palace. Ouyang Hong advised: "Your Majesty, they are willing to donate silver because they are loyal to the emperor. It is the emperor's right to praise them. Scolding will only make their hearts burn." Swear away."

After getting such a bargain, even if you are just pretending, you should pretend to be a harmonious monarch and his subjects.

But the emperor didn't listen and sneered: "Is it the king's land in the world? All their money belongs to Da Chu. Now that Da Chu wants to attack Da Rong, they should pay for it. And they will donate money this time, but they are afraid of me." Can't you see the anger of the boss? You still have to intercede for these hypocritical people!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Hong sighed in his heart and said nothing more.

However, he said in his reply to Ouyang Hu: Don't mention the Dajong incident, remember that everything your Majesty said is right.

When Ouyang Hu saw this sentence, his heart skipped a beat, remembering what his elder brother had said to him a few years ago.

The eldest brother said: Your Majesty must have suffered greatly in Da Rong, so you can't bear any lenient treatment of Da Rong. If His Majesty talks to you about Dayong in the future, don't favor Dayong, don't even say anything neutral, just curse Dayong and agree with His Majesty's opinion.

He felt something was wrong when he heard this and asked: "Brother, haven't you always said that the emperor is a human being and can make mistakes? He should not blindly obey the emperor's will and should say more inspiring words. How do you say it now? Are you talking about indulging the emperor and driving him into a coma?"

The eldest brother was silent for a long time before continuing: "You don't need to ask in detail, just do what I told you... Brother Wei has guessed something, but you can't know it, it will bring disaster, don't ask anymore , I will only say this once as a brother, and I won’t say it again in the future, but you have to remember that Da Rong is His Majesty’s subordinate, you must not speak for Da Rong, please remember this.”

Ouyang Hu didn't understand it at the time, but now he is slowly figuring out the reasons... His Majesty once disappeared in the territory of Da Rong when he was young. At that time, it was rumored that he was caught by the Rong people and imprisoned for several months, but His Majesty followed What Duke Wei and his son later said was that His Majesty was not captured, but was trapped in Da Rong territory and hid for several months before finally returning to Da Chu.

Now that I think about it, His Majesty, Duke Wei and his son have all lied, and what made these three people lie at the same time must be that His Majesty encountered something inhumane in Dayong, otherwise it would not be so taboo.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately took action to destroy the Duke of Wei and his family. It is estimated that it was not just because of Duke Wei's outstanding achievements that shocked the Lord... but rather as if he was trying to cover up something and silenced Duke Wei and his son.

When His Majesty was young, he was the most promising among all the emperor's grandsons, otherwise Emperor Jingwu would not have left his last words and asked Emperor Jingtai to make him the crown prince. But now it has become like this, probably related to his disappearance in Da Rong.

Mr. Ouyang has traveled all over the world and knows some medical knowledge. He knows that people's temperament will change drastically after being greatly stimulated. Your Majesty should be in this category.

"It's done, it's really done? Then what did the emperor say to my young master? Is it written in the letter? Quickly bring it to my young master to see!" When Dou Shaodong's family heard that it was done, they were so happy that they didn't even put on their shoes. Ben came and tried to grab the letter from Mr. Ouyang's hand, but was almost kicked by Mr. Ouyang.

"What are you kidding for? This letter is still useful. What will happen if it is broken?" Mr. Ouyang did not give the Dou Shaodong family the letter, but only motioned for them to sit down and said: "The matter is settled, the emperor is on our side. , will take action against those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money."

Dou Shaodong's family became anxious after hearing this, and urged: "Where is the deed? Do you want the deed? Old man, hurry up and tell me, this is the point!"

Giving the emperor the deed was just a show of loyalty, he had no intention of actually giving Doou Bank to the emperor.

Mr. Ouyang said: "Don't worry, the emperor did not ask for the deed of Doou Bank. He returned the deed and allowed us to continue operating Doou Bank, but gave us two rules. One is not to increase interest, and the other is Farmers are not allowed to use their property to pay debts.”

"It goes without saying that we already have these two rules, otherwise we wouldn't be as shameless as the Shen family?" Dou Shaodong's family was a little disgusted with the emperor's nonsense.

Mr. Ouyang said: "Those are just rules we have set ourselves. They can be changed at any time. Now that the emperor has spoken, it is an imperial edict. We cannot change it even if we die."

There is a difference between the two. There is a question of what can be changed and what cannot be changed.

After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family cursed the emperor in his heart, and then continued to ask: "You didn't say anything about me?"

Damn, I didn’t work so hard to open a new bank without asking for anything in return. Give me some benefits!
