The king of the country, the king of the country.

Cao Zhengchun's words made Liu Hong feel like he had been enlightened. Yes, the Yellow Turbans killed many noble families, and they had a grudge against the noble families. If Li Xiang really saved these surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers and spared their lives, then from now on, those noble family ministers would probably have a gap with Li Xiang and would definitely not get close to him.

Even Liu Hong was quite interested in Huangjinzhou. Just think of a continent that was no smaller than the Han Dynasty with gold everywhere, which made people yearn for it, and Liu Hong was no exception.

And this could also help Li Xiang find Huangjinzhou!

Thinking of this, Liu Hong slammed the table and said:

"Cao Zhengchun, you are right. Since the Marquis of Shenwu wants to forgive those Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers, I will allow it. Didn't the Marquis of Shenwu make great contributions in conquering the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang this time? It's just right to reward them together and let Li Sheng be the governor of Youzhou and take charge of the government affairs of several counties!"

Liu Hong's excited voice rang in the hall. Cao Zhengchun, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong also smiled and bowed to Liu Hong.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong smiled not only because Liu Hong did agree to this matter, but also because this matter made Liu Hong feel satisfied.

"Your Majesty is wise. If the Marquis of Shenwu offends the aristocratic family, then from now on, the Marquis of Shenwu will have to rely on Your Majesty, and appointing Li Sheng as the governor of Youzhou will also make the Marquis of Shenwu feel Your Majesty's trust and favor in him!"

Zhang Rang flattered.

Liu Hong was very happy with this flattery.

"I really want to see if the Golden Island that the Marquis of Shenwu said is really full of gold. If so, my Han Dynasty will not lack money!" Liu Hong changed his tone and yearned for the Golden Island.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten attendants heard this and their eyes sparkled.

However.

When they returned to the court and discussed Li Xiang's memorial, officials from aristocratic families immediately strongly opposed it.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans are rebels. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, their entire family should be killed. How can they be forgiven? If they are forgiven, what do we care about the laws of the Han Dynasty?" Sikong Yuanfeng said to Liu Hong with an ugly face.

"Your Majesty, you must not forgive the Yellow Turbans. They slaughtered noble families and killed officials. They deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, ..."

In the hall, officials stood up one by one, saying that the Yellow Turbans were unforgivable and that killing them would not be enough to appease the public anger. Liu Hong, who had made up his mind, was speechless for a while.

Just as Liu Hong frowned, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Cao Zhengchun were about to speak.

But the councilor Cai Yong stood up and said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, I think that the Marquis of Shenwu has no relationship with these Yellow Turbans, but he is risking the world's disapproval and pleading for the surrendered Yellow Turbans. I'm afraid he is really thinking about the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as Cai Yong opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of the whole court.

Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others looked at Cai Yong in surprise.

Is Cai Yong going to speak for Li Xiang?

What's he thinking?

Yuan Feng, Cao Song and others frowned, and looked at Cai Yong with displeasure.

What did Cai Yong mean by this?

What did Li Xiang mean by pleading for the surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turbans? I am afraid he was really thinking about the Han Dynasty?

Then if they dissuade and oppose, they are not thinking about the Han Dynasty?

"What does Cai Yilang mean by this? Are you going to plead for the Yellow Turbans too?" Yuan Feng said to Cai Yong with an ugly face, but his voice revealed dissatisfaction.

Cai Yong could hear the dissatisfaction in Yuan Feng's tone, but he, Cai Yong, pursued his heart to do things, so he needed to take into account Yuan Feng's dissatisfaction?

Even when the emperor Liu Hong did something wrong, he, Cai Yong, dared to impeach him, but Yuan Feng's dissatisfaction, Cai Yong did not care.
