Xiao Ming took a group of Qingzhou officials to see off Princess Pingyang.

As eye-catching as when she came, Princess Pingyang was still eye-catching when she left.

Xiao Ming told Princess Pingyang all about the affairs of the Wang family last night, and Princess Pingyang's reaction was very cold, as if she had just pinched an ant to death.

However, this trip to Qingzhou was a knot, and Princess Pingyang didn't seem to want to stay in Qingzhou longer, so she was going to Jinling City on the second day.

Xiao Ming prepared some Qingzhou wine, perfume, soap, and of course, glass for Princess Pingyang.

This time, thanks to her, he had this opportunity to get rid of the Wang family, compared to this little thing, he gained more, but the food in the Wang family's granary in Liuzhou was enough for the Qingzhou army to not have to worry about food in the next few years.

In addition to grain, the Wang family also has a large amount of arable land, ploughing cattle, mines, and slaves, all of which are confiscated.

"Your Highness, the Wang family has fallen now, and there are still three left, but this time the Sun family did not come out to support the Wang family, it is really strange, otherwise we would have an excuse to wipe out the Sun family." Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming was also a little surprised by this, the Sun family did not move, as if this matter had nothing to do with them, this was a posture of watching the fire from the other side.

"It can only be said that the people of the Sun family are not stupid, otherwise they will end up the same as the Wang family." Xiao Ming said slowly.

"Your Highness, what should the remaining three families do?" Pang Yukun asked at this time, striking iron while it is hot, he really wants to do it once and for all.

This time, Xiao Ming eradicated the Wang family in one fell swoop, and these people couldn't react at that time, but it was estimated that they would soon be able to come back to their senses, and he said: "Don't worry, the remaining three families together are only comparable to the Wang family, we are enough to deal with it easily, and then it depends on whether they know the current affairs." ”

Pang Yukun nodded, he understood what Xiao Ming meant, "If they disband the tribe, hand over Wu Bao, and become a rich merchant with peace of mind, this Qingzhou can accommodate them." ”

Looking at Princess Pingyang's carriage in the distance, Xiao Ming sighed softly, the most taboo thing for those in power is that there are armed forces under their own jurisdiction that are not under their control.

Xiao Ming is the same, he can tolerate these wealthy families doing business, no matter how much money they make, it doesn't matter, there is only one thing, it can't threaten his rule.

This time, with the help of the Wang family, he wanted to get rid of the habit of raising the tribes of the fiefdom wealthy clan in one fell swoop.

Talking to Pang Yukun about this problem, he returned to Qingzhou City with a group of officials.

At this time, on the carriage that had already walked out for several miles, Princess Pingyang lifted the curtains and looked at Qingzhou City from afar, she said to Ouyang Mu: "Why do I always feel that something is wrong, it seems that this palace has let King Qi take advantage of it." ”

Ouyang Mu was silent all the way, and said at this time: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this last general is not clear, but King Qi is definitely not simple, when the Wang family was in Wubao, King Qi was not at all like the recklessness of five years ago, but good at forbearance. ”

"The wealthy family who solved the fiefdom without blood, he did have two hits, you say so, I feel that I have been tricked by this nephew, hey, maybe Xiao Ming did the opposite, so that the palace believed that the Wang family was the murderer of the palace." Princess Pingyang sighed.

Ouyang Mu said: "If this is the case, when we return to Chang'an, we will report the situation to the emperor." ”

"Hehe, what you think is too simple, now there is no proof of death, who will prove it?" Princess Pingyang yawned lazily, gently lowered the curtains, and said secretly, "If you give Xiao Ming a few more years, I am afraid that there will be different variables in the battle for the throne of the Great Yu Kingdom, which is interesting." ”

At the same time, the Qin family in Qingzhou City.

Qin Chuanyun was not excited because of the fall of the Wang family, on the contrary, when Wang Chengchou and Wang Chengheng were beheaded in Dongshi to show the public, he only felt a chill in his back, as if he would be on the guillotine next time.

"Dad, what are we going to do now?" Looking at Qin Chuanyun who was pacing back and forth in the house, Qin Mu asked in horror, seeing with his own eyes the head of Wang Chengchou, a generation of heroes in Qingzhou, and he still hadn't forgotten Wang Chengchou's eyes.

Qin Chuanyun stopped, "What else can I do?" Can't you still see His Highness's thoughts? What he wants is that there is no one in his fief who can threaten his rule, and the Wang family is secretly against him, and he knows it clearly, this time he is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. ”

"Dad, will it be our Qin family next?" Qin Mu asked tremblingly.

Qin Chuanyun was silent, gritted his teeth, and said, "No, we must not be a royal family, you and I will go to see His Highness now." ”

Qin Mu nodded, followed Qin Chuanyun towards the Qi Palace, and halfway through, the two met Xiao Ming who came back.

"Your Highness, Qin is guilty!" When Qin Chuanyun saw Xiao Ming, he knelt on the ground with a thud.

On the street, Qin Chuanyun's kneeling made many businessmen and ordinary people stay and watch the excitement.

Xiao Ming glanced at Qin Chuanyun and his son, and said, "You two get up, this big court, what kind of system has it become, what is the matter, go back to the palace with this king." ”

Pang Yukun nodded secretly, it seems that this Qin Chuanyun realized it later, and now he is coming back to his senses.

Everyone returned to the palace, and Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun met the Qin family father and son together in the main hall.

Now Xiao Ming is ready to put the policy of weakening the Hao clan directly on the table, because the balance of power has changed.

"Outside of Qin Yuan, what makes you so nervous." Xiao Ming knew that he was an advisor.

"The grass people are guilty, the control of the tribe is not strict, and there are many people in the six states who have violated the law, and I ask His Royal Highness to punish him." Qin Chuanyun's face showed a sad expression.

Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming glanced at each other, laughing at the same time, Pang Yukun said: "Outside of Qin, don't beat around the bush, the purpose of your coming this time is nothing more than to be afraid that the Qin family and the Wang family will end up in the same fate." ”

Qin Chuanyun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

Qin Mu knelt down in front of Xiao Ming at this time and said, "Your Highness, the grass people used to be very disrespectful, and they actually called their highness brothers, they really deserve to die. ”

"Get up." Xiao Ming said lightly, "Since you are here, it is natural to know that this king cannot tolerate disobedient wealthy families in his fiefdom. ”

Qin Chuanyun and Qin Mu nodded at the same time.

Xiao Ming continued: "This king is not a person who is easy to kill, otherwise thousands of people in the Wang family have already fallen to the ground by now, you are the people of this king, if you are willing to live in the fiefdom, this king will naturally not do anything to you?" Dismiss the troops, return the land and property that occupied the people, and do business in the fiefdom from now on, and your Qin family will be safe and sound. ”

In the past, the wealthy not only monopolized the economic lifeline of the fiefdom, but also participated in government affairs, and many officials in the six states worked for them.

Now Xiao Ming has isolated the conditions for them to participate in government affairs, and from now on, they are just businessmen.
