Chapter 1094
In the city, undercurrents are surging!
Prince Hunzhong waited until nightfall, but received no news of the chaos in the city.
"What's going on? Didn't you issue any orders? Why haven't those people gone to the Xiongnu king to ask for the tribute silver?"
Hun Zhong looked puzzled.
The same thing happened to the rest of the royal family. They had all issued orders. Logically, the officials who were affiliated with them should have gone to surround the palace, but there had been no movement so far.
"Something's wrong. I'll send someone to ask about it now."
Afterwards, one of them immediately sent someone to the home of the official who was dependent on him to inquire.
After more than half an hour, the man came back, but he was covered in wounds.
"Your Highness! This is terrible! All the officials who were dependent on us have rebelled. One official from the Ministry of Revenue even said he would investigate corruption and return the money you embezzled!"
The man knelt on the ground and said.
"What! Investigate my corruption? He's so bold! Doesn't he know who is responsible for his current situation? Doesn't he know how much leverage I have over him?"
The royal family immediately became furious.
"Haha! It seems that it's not just the officials who are attached to you who have such thoughts. We have all encountered the same thing!"
"It seems like these people think they've grown in power and are unwilling to be ordered around by us, so they want to resist!"
"Humph! They want to resist, but don't they realize who they are and whether they have the qualifications to resist us? Since they are so unkind, let's throw out some evidence of their crimes and let them die without a burial place!"
The royal family members all spoke in cold voices.
For these royal people, they got the most silver, but that silver was all embezzled by officials, and they just gave the embezzled silver to them.
Even if they are found out, they will be the ones to die. As long as they refuse to admit it, the Hun King will have no way to deal with them!
As for using force, what a joke! Although not all of these royal families have military power, their prestige is not small, and they cannot be controlled by a small Hun king!
"Your Highness! I'm afraid the evidence we have won't be enough to hold them accountable. The Xiongnu King has issued an imperial decree today, granting amnesty to all officials, regardless of their previous crimes!"
"Moreover, their salaries have increased tenfold. From now on, any surplus money in the national treasury will be distributed according to the rank of their official positions. In other words, the money in the national treasury will eventually be distributed to those officials!"
"Now those officials are furious. In their eyes, the silver you took away, Your Highness, is all theirs. They don't have time to ask the Xiongnu King for tribute silver now. They are all thinking about you!"
The man said with a pale face.
what!
After hearing what this person said, all the royal family members present turned pale!
"Why would the Hun King suddenly do this?"
"Damn it! He's pushing us to death! How did we, the royal family, offend him that he has to do such a drastic thing?"
"Damn the Xiongnu King! I've always thought he was a despicable and shameless villain, but I didn't expect that my prediction would come true. Just because we took a little more silver, he wanted to kill us all!"
"My son, Hun Tuo, may have married a few concubines and even killed a few, but he was sincere to Jin Yunen. Tell me, what's so difficult about him marrying Jin Yunen to my son? Why does he have to go against me?"
"King Hun Zhong, we are now at a critical moment of life and death. Therefore, we must unite against the enemy. Only in this way can we survive this crisis!"
"Since the Xiongnu King is so cruel, don't blame us for being unjust. Didn't he offer a general amnesty? Then we should oppose his amnesty, gather the people in the city, surround the palace, and force the Xiongnu King to give the people an explanation!"
Finally, King Hun Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
