Chapter 378: Iron and Blood Removes Troubles and Reassures People's Hearts

“... Although those active officials were still a little unwilling, since the news of the wrong time spread, the big families in the city quickly died down, and even the people in the city calmed down!

In addition, after you returned to Donglai City, there were no other new instructions, so they could only give up for the time being.

In addition, those officials who have ill intentions and advocate the abolition of Tianshou and the establishment of a new emperor have also been dealt with..."

Du Ruhui reported on the results of the handling of the two hidden dangers of civil strife that emerged some time ago.

The two hidden dangers of civil strife have been investigated a few days ago, and the culprits behind them have all been found. Su Shang returned from Jiangdu City a few days earlier than originally planned, just to personally sit in Donglai City, in case there was an accident when dealing with those behind the scenes.

On the surface, it seems that some small civil and military officials from Jiangdu City are unwilling to shrink their power and make waves, but in fact, behind them are not only hidden behind the black hands of several high-ranking officials from the Jiangdu Imperial Court, but also local officials in Donglai City are involved.

As for the ill-intentioned advocacy of abolishing Tianshou and establishing a new emperor, Yang Qing repeatedly asked to see Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, in an attempt to encourage King Zhao to compete for the throne, not only did more than a dozen large and small officials hide behind the scenes, but even four local families of all sizes were involved, and they were deeply involved.

For these situations, Su Shang has always made an example of each other and dealt with them severely, so with a stroke of his pen, he was doomed to the death of these big and small officials.

As for those officials involved in the unauthorized collusion of petitions, there is no punishment at present, after all, they are ostensibly fighting for the interests of Su Shang, and they do not have too many outrageous performances, so they are still in the cold treatment.

However, their names have all appeared in Su Shang's blacklist. Su Shang had already made up his mind not to reuse them in the future, and as for the official position of being in charge of one place, he would not hand it over to them.

After Du Ruhui's report was completed, Su Shang pondered a little, and then asked, "What is the reaction of the people in the city?"

"The people in the city didn't react, but some of the big families in the city were uneasy, and some of the Jiangdu officials were also panicked!" Du Ruhui smiled a little bitterly.

For ordinary people, living and working in peace and contentment has always been their greatest wish, especially in times of war. A stable and prosperous living environment is simply a dream paradise for them.

Therefore, for the ordinary people of Donglai City, today's happy life is not easy to come by, they are particularly cherished, and they are grateful to the allies and Su Shang from the bottom of their hearts, and they support and support from the bottom of their hearts.

It can be said that Su Shang is their heaven and their land, and they all want Su Shang to ascend the throne as emperor immediately, so that their lives will always have hope and be beautiful and happy.

This is also the reason why as soon as they heard that someone was going to collectively petition Su Shangli to become emperor, they spontaneously rushed to participate.

Therefore, for them, the government openly beheaded some officials and some family members, although they did not know too well what the exact reason was, but this did not prevent them from embracing and supporting these actions.

They never think twice, it must be that these people are corrupt and gambling, or they have done something hurtful and conspiracy, and maybe it will affect their hard-won happy life.

Therefore, not only did they not have any bad thoughts about the official government's public killing of Yang Qing and his group, but some people even applauded.

But for those officials, killing Yang Qing and other officials made them feel sad, especially those officials who had just come from Jiangdu City, at this time they were all worried, and they felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

In the past, whether it was in Jiangdu or Luoyang, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui had always been good to them. Of course, with the support of the family forces behind them, they also have enough capital and confidence in the face of Yang Guang.

Therefore, not to mention that they were just openly proposing, even if they did something out of the ordinary, Yang Guang was afraid of the strength of the family behind them, and generally would not blame them too much.

Therefore, for them, what beheading, body death, clan annihilation, etc., are all things that are very far away from them.

They never thought that the master of Donglai City would be so bold, they were unscrupulous about them and the family behind them, and they never thought that their new master, the future new emperor, would be such a decisive and iron-blooded person.

At the same time, through this incident, they also understood that Su Shang was not a person who could be easily fooled, nor was he a soft-hearted person who would easily compromise. No matter who wants to seek personal gain in his name, it depends on whether your family's neck is hard enough to block the sharp beheading knife.

As for those urban families, they also have a feeling of sadness at this time.

Su Shang has always had no good impression of the family, and has always had a suppressive attitude, so the family members have always had a lot of complaints about Su Shang and the allies, and their sense of identity is insufficient.

However, at this time, there were frequent wars and bandits outside, and only the Allied army was still stable and prosperous under the rule, so they could not and did not want to move their family out of Donglai City.

And this time, several large and small families were raided and exterminated, although the official announcement said that these families were suspected of participating in the conspiracy and rebellion, but they were all a little worried, I don't know if this is the prelude to Su Shang's preparation to raise the butcher's knife against the family again, ready to suppress their living space again, and they can't help but have some sad feelings of rabbit death.

However, for these consequences, Su Shang understands and has already predicted them, and the same is true for Du Ruhui, who is a top wise man.

In the troubled times, although Du Ruhui is a scholar, he also understands this truth, he is not a nerd who can only read dead books, only full of words, full of benevolence and morality, so when his marshal made a decision before, he did not have much persuasion, and he also supported the marshal to suppress those dissidents with ill intentions by iron-blooded means.

"Don't pay too much attention to them!"

Su Shang's face was gloomy, and his voice became a little cold, "As long as the people support us, they won't be able to make any waves." ”

After finishing and pondering for a while, he said: "Let Jin Sanbao report this matter in the next issue of "Alliance Current Affairs".

The report should focus on the reason why these families were exterminated because they were secretly colluding with the remnants of the rebellion against Yu Wenhua, and they were plotting a rebellion and preparing to subvert Donglai City.

At the same time, I also want to tell those big families that as long as they strictly abide by the rules of our alliance and resolutely do not do something that should not be done, our alliance will definitely ensure the safety of their clansmen and property, and will definitely not suppress them. ”

"Yes, I understand!" Du Ruhui nodded.

Although the marshal said that they secretly colluded with Yu Wenhua and the remnants, which was somewhat fraught, their conspiracy to instigate Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, to compete for the throne and intend to cause trouble in Donglai was true, so it was not too much to add to them the identity of the rebellious remnants of the king's murder.
