From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 571

Zhou Yuan's words were so passionate that Guan Caixi's blood boiled.

She sat aside, her face flushed, and couldn't help thinking... Zhou Yuan's words were really good. It turned out that he was really doing the right thing, but the means were sometimes not so just.

But such a big ambition, related to the fate of the people of the world, it seemed that it didn't matter if he used any means.

She thought of the tragic scenes she had seen in the past few years, and the people who were blind because they couldn't afford salt. She felt sad and heartbroken, and couldn't help but be deeply shocked by Zhou Yuan's words.

Perhaps the world has really reached a point where it is terminally ill, and the people are indeed living worse than pigs and dogs. Sister and Zhou Yuan are the same as the monarch and the minister, and they are bound to save the world.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but secretly remind herself-Guan Caixi, Guan Caixi, you can't just play in the future, you should help your sister share more worries, so that you can enter the history and participate in a big event.

Just as she was daydreaming, she heard a roar.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

She saw her father also stood up and shouted: "The prosperity of the salt business in Dajin depends on the law of opening up the middle and the contribution of salt merchants. The transportation of salt also promotes business. Three goals in one go. Only then can salt goods be circulated throughout the world and all people have salt to eat."

"If there are no salt merchants, who will transport the grain in the border towns? If there are no salt merchants, how can the people in non-salt-producing areas eat salt? If there are no salt merchants, how can the grain transport prosper? How can Yangzhou prosper? How can cities along the river such as Huai'an prosper?"

"You, Zhou Yuan, keep staring at the salt merchants and wish to kill them all. This is not for Dajin. This is to destroy Dajin and the people's way to salt."

"You have caused panic in the people of Jiangnan. The reason is not as noble as you said. You just want to kill all the salt merchants and dye the salt red with their blood. "You are just ... you want to sacrifice the overall situation of Dajin and add another sum to yourself!" Angry, said sharply: "You! Zhou Yuan! For selfish interest! For Qianqiu's name! I want to break the ancestors' opening of the Chinese and French! I want to damage Dajin's stable salt foundation for hundreds of years!" "Do you think you can cure you when you think you are young? It was a tense trend. Zhou Yuan smiled and applauded, "Well said, you are worthy of being a leader who has been in the salt market for decades, and you are worthy of being a royal relative. You can make a coherent argument, which is really extraordinary."

"It's a pity that your coarse argument doesn't work with me. Private salt is harmful to the country. I, Zhou Yuan, will go south according to the order and eradicate it."

"As for public and private interests, huh, Guan Lindu, do you think I care about the evaluation of me in the history books? Do you think I care about the criticism of me, Zhou Yuan, by the outside world?"

"I just laugh off the merits and demerits of the past. Ten thousand years is too long. I, Zhou Yuan, only fight for the day."

"Today, even if you say everything, you can't persuade me or stop me."

At this point, he said proudly: "You are right, this world is not surnamed Zhou, but this world is not surnamed Guan! The world belongs to the people of Dajin, not the world of gentry, not the world of Yangzhou salt merchants, and certainly not the world of corrupt officials."

"The people have suffered from salt for a long time, and the laws of our ancestors should also keep pace with the times. As your majesty's father and a royal relative, you do not think about serving Dajin, do not think about sharing the worries of the king, but are accomplices to the tiger, relying on your noble status to control Dajin's salt affairs, organize the sale of private salt, promote salt merchants, and raise the flag for corruption..."

"You, Guan Lindu... you really deserve to die!"

Guan Caixi's face changed, and she felt that Zhou Yuan's words had drained all her strength.

What... father... father is the mastermind behind the salt merchants? He is the one who organized the sale of private salt?

Her mind went blank for a while.

Guan Lindu was furious and said, "What a Duke of Wei! He is really going to rebel! He dared to say that no one in the world has the surname Guan! Do you know that this is a crime of treason!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly, "You may not understand that the moment your majesty ascended the throne, she no longer had the surname Guan. She does not belong to any surname, and she has no so-called relatives."

"The Hundred Family Surnames is her surname, and the people of the world are her flesh and blood."

"You are right to treat her as your daughter, but if you treat the king as your daughter, thenYou are wrong. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing, squinting his eyes and said: "If it were other kings, I might not dare to say this, but it's a pity that Guan Lindu, the current emperor is a saintly king of the ages. For the revival of the Great Jin, she has already made up her mind and made preparations!"

"Anyone who obstructs the salt inspection in Jiangnan must die!"

"Anyone involved in private salt must be punished according to law!"

Guan Lindu couldn't help laughing out loud.

He looked at Zhou Yuan and said loudly: "Do you think this includes our Guan family? The Guan family is the emperor's natal family! I am her biological father!"

"You Zhou Yuan, dare to put the emperor in a place of unkindness and unfilial piety?"

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "As a monarch, loyalty to the country is filial piety, and loving the people is benevolence."

"If the current emperor didn't even see through this, she wouldn't let me go south to inspect the salt. ”

“Guan Lindu, you underestimated the wisdom of His Majesty, and you also underestimated her responsibility for the rise and fall of the world.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan suddenly made a move and grabbed his neck!

Guan Caixi stood up suddenly and said in a lost voice: “No!”

Guan Lindu said: “You dare to attack me? You dare to kill His Majesty’s father?”

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: “I dare not kill, but the law of Dajin can kill! Do you think you can scare me away by threatening me and revealing your identity?”

“I tell you, when the truth comes out, when the chain of private salt is completely pulled out, when all the evidence is in place…”

“No one can escape the punishment of the law! No one!”

After speaking, Zhou Yuan let him go and shouted: “Send you out!”

Guan Lindu looked at the guards who had gathered outside the door, panicked for a while, and ran out quickly.

He shouted: “Zhou Yuan, your death is coming! Do you think you can shake the pattern of Dajin! Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand! "

"Just wait for me! Wait!"

His words no longer had persuasiveness and aggression, but instead sounded like impotent rage.

Zhou Yuan just smiled, then sat down and took a sip of tea.

Understand only then, he looked at Guan Caixi and said: "Now do you understand why your sister insisted that you follow me?"

"I understand."

Guan Caixi's eyes were red and her voice was choked.

Zhou Yuan said: "You have grown up, do you know why I have to confront your father?"

Guan Caixi lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "You want to force him to take action. Only when he takes action, his accomplices will all be exposed, so that there will be no omissions."

Zhou Yuan smiled and sighed softly: "Go down and rest."
