Chapter 036: Eviction from the house

?? Jing Tian smiled lightly and said, "You can try!" ”

Qin Feng shivered, somehow, in the face of such a gentle smile, he actually had an inexplicable fear, Li Jingtian's elegant appearance was incomparably bloody and ruthless in his opinion.

Avoiding Li Jingtian's gaze, Qin Feng said a little embarrassed, "Master Li, there is an order today, if you, you are still obsessed and refuse to cooperate with the imperial court, then the foundation of the Li family in Pingzhou for a hundred years will not be able to be preserved." ”

"Okay, I'll wait!"

After hearing this, Li Jingtian nodded, and said without any objections.

"General, what is polite to him, it is better to directly tie up his fiancée and his wife and other relatives to the bank of the Yellow River, as long as the rebel on the other side does not surrender, kill one, and at that time, see if Li Jingtian dares to be so arrogant."

Xiaohong glared at Li Jingtian's proud back, a touch of yin fowl flashed in her eyes, and she proposed viciously.

"You know what?!"

Qin Feng is a person who practices martial arts, he once worshipped a chivalrous master apprentice as a teacher, and he has an indescribable fear and reverence for Li Jingtian in his bones, to be honest, if it wasn't for the order from Jinshang himself this time, he really didn't want to conflict with Li Jingtian.

Now hearing that his subordinates were so bold and disrespectful, he glanced at Xiaohong and said: "At the moment, Li Jingtian is not a thief, although it is speculated that those rebellious knights have something to do with Li Jingtian, but there is no conclusive evidence. Hmph, the Li family in Pingzhou has a century-old prestige, and there is also the Danshu iron coupon left by Lord Li, as long as the people of the Li family do not pull out the banner to rebel, they will not be able to cure the Li family's crimes today...... This time Li Jingtian was trapped, and it was also done in private, if the news leaked out, not to mention that the thousands of knights in the Great Zhou might rise up to resist, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree. ”

He also dared to tie up the dignified Duchess to the bank of the Yellow River to blackmail the traitors on the other side, this is not to do things for Jinshang, but to cause trouble for Jinshang.

"So, then we're going to do it with him?"

Xiaohong was severely reprimanded by Qin Feng, and her heart became more and more unconvinced, and she asked with a stalk around her neck.

"That's it, I won't send them food today, and don't give them water," Qin Feng was very embarrassed, thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and ordered.

Not eating or drinking for a day should be no big deal for a person who practices martial arts, but for the pampered Mrs. Wang, I am afraid it will be a lot of torture. Since Li Jingtian was able to take risks alone to save Wang Qifang, this woman must indeed have a certain status in his mind.

Even if Li Jingtian can't be allowed to take back the rebellious knights, at least let him gather the knights of the Knights Alliance, go on an expedition instead of the imperial court, and exterminate the traitors on the other side of the Yellow River in one fell swoop.

In this way, it can not only destroy the rebels, but also wear down the huge power of the Chivalry Alliance.

This is Emperor Longqing's idea, which sounds good, but it is not easy to operate in practice.

What's more, there are variables.

"What? Li Jingyun proclaimed himself emperor in Liaodong? The founding number is Tang? ”

After listening to the secret report of the third princess, Emperor Longqing was furious on the spot, and with a wave of his hands, he swept the fold in front of him to the ground, and the tea cup on the table was also shattered.

"Back to the emperor, Li Jingyun occupied the land north of the Yellow River to Liaodong, fixed the capital Yanjing, claimed that he was the remnant of the Li Tang royal family, and proclaimed himself Tang Shizong——"

The third princess was originally sitting down, but after seeing Emperor Longqing furious, she immediately stood up and bowed back.

"Tang Shizong? What a Tang Shizong! Emperor Longqing interrupted the words of the third princess, and was so angry that the room was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Traitors, they are all traitors, the Li family in Pingzhou, they are all traitors who deceive the monarch!" Damn, all deserve to die! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Longqing seemed to remember something, and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on!" ”

Before the words fell, a Qianniu Wei wearing armor walked in from outside, he knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"Go, go and tell Qin Feng, let him put Li Jingtian and his family in the prison together, and the cadres of the Li family in Pingzhou will also be escorted to the capital for me...... Isn't he Li Jingyun going to be the emperor, okay, destroy his nine clans! ”

"Wait!"

The third princess called Qian Niuwei, who was ordered to turn away, and knelt on the ground with her clothes open, "Brother Huang, think twice." ”

"Think twice? The rebellion of the Li family has rebelled with great fanfare, what else do I think about? "Emperor Longqing's brain was about to explode, he couldn't listen to the persuasion of the third princess at all, and he wanted to destroy the Li family.

"You go down first," the third princess saw this, so she had to let Qianniuwei retreat first, Qianniuwei looked at Emperor Longqing, and then looked at the third princess with a serious face, and didn't know whose order to listen to, so she was stunned on the spot.

"Brother Huang, my little sister still has something to say, Brother Huang will listen to my little sister for the time being, and it will not be too late to send it to the Li family later."

Emperor Longqing turned his head abruptly, staring at the third princess for a long time, and after seeing the unflinching persistence in her eyes, he waved his hand, "Stand down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Quietly relieved, Qian Niuwei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and silently retreated to the door.

"Say it!"

Fortunately, although Emperor Longqing was in a state of rage, he had not completely lost his mind, he sat back on the dragon chair and said in a rough manner.

"Brother Huang, little sister knows that you are very angry now, Li Tang Yu took advantage of the chaos to divide the territory of the Great Zhou, and he really deserved to die, but now is not the best time to deal with the Li family in Pingzhou, even if he wants to deal with it, he can't be too wide."

The third princess is the princess of the martial family, and it is impossible for her not to be angry when she hears that someone has made her own rebellion, but there are some things that can be solved without anger.

Although they gritted their teeth and hated the people of the Li family, the third princess still admired them very much, because they chose a very good time to rebel.

Everyone knows that the current Great Zhou has experienced three years of war, people's livelihood has withered, and the economy has regressed. Having just put down the rebellion of the two kings, stability was gradually restored in the Kannai and Jiangnan areas, and the pardoned rebels began to return to their homes to reclaim the wasteland and farm.

Jingzhong has also undergone an iron-blooded rectification, and the hearts of hundreds of officials have been settled down with rewards and punishments, and the families have slowly settled down.

It can be said that whether it is the people or the imperial court, they all hope to have a stable environment to recuperate, and if they come to crusade against the rebellion surnamed Li at this time and set off a civil war again, then the situation that is easy to stabilize is likely to be ruined.

There is another important reason, after three years of internal friction, the imperial court has an empty treasury and no longer has the financial resources to support a new war.

On the other hand, on the Li thief's side, there are important people, and the thousands of chivalrous guests of the Chivalry League are all one as ten, which is enough to resist the 100,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court; If you want money, the Li family in Pingzhou has been rich for a hundred years, and it has an inextricable relationship with various wealthy families, and the silver and food that can be raised are probably more than those of the imperial court.

“…… Imperial brother, in addition to the above, there is another point that is also very important," the third princess observed Emperor Longqing's expression as she spoke, and seeing that the anger on his face was getting weaker and weaker, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to persuade: "The five surnamed families marry each other, if you kill the nine clans of the Li family, then the entire five surnamed families will be implicated." Previously, because of the severe punishment of the children of the families who rebelled against the two kings, the court had already had a conflict with the family with the five surnames, and this time it was ...... again The little sister is worried, and the family is jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”

"This ......" Emperor Longqing hesitated, what the third princess said was right, with the current situation of Da Zhou, it is indeed not conducive to another war. But if the Li family is not punished, people in the world will think that 'rebellion is not guilty' and follow suit.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally had a way, "First, tell the world that Li Jingyun is deeply favored by the emperor but is not grateful, and he dares to commit rebellion, which is really a traitor who is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and his crime should be punished; Second, Jin Shang is merciful and cannot bear to implicate the innocent, and the in-laws of the Li family, as long as they break away from the Li family, will be pardoned; Third, the crime of Li Thief, the fault of the Guogong Mansion, escorted the relatives of the auxiliary Guogong into Beijing, and questioned the crime in accordance with the law. ”

Emperor Longqing's meaning is very clear, Li Jingyun rebelled, and he could not be punished, but he was worried that the implication would be too great, causing a backlash from the family and causing turmoil in the country. Therefore, only the branch of the Guogong Mansion was punished, and the branches and collaterals of the Li family were pardoned.

Then, he deliberately created the separation of the Li family from other families, so that the other families took the initiative to draw a line with the Li family, cut off the Li family's helpers, and when the country settled down in the future, he would find a way to continue to divide the other families, and then break them one by one.

After listening to Emperor Longqing's instructions, the third princess knew that the imperial brother had finally regained his senses, and made the best judgment, so she hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Soon, the emperor's edict quickly spread throughout the Great Zhou. Those who have an in-law relationship with the Li family also began to draw a line after a short period of observation and analysis.

At the same time, all the members of the Li family who were imprisoned in Pingzhou Prison, except for the collateral descendants and the in-laws who announced their separation from the Li family, were all escorted to Beijing.

"Auntie, take care!"

Cui Yunniang was held by the two mothers-in-law, and reluctantly watched Mrs. Li being escorted away by the Praetorian Guards.

"Yes!"

Mrs. Li replied softly, without saying anything, she was caught up by the Praetorian Guards into a dilapidated carriage, through the cracks in the nailed windows of the carriage, her eyes swept faintly over the 'relatives' with different reactions, hehe, this is the reality, the cold and warm, only she can appreciate it.

In the capital, thanks to the Li rebellion, the imperial court wantonly pardoned a large number of families who rebelled against the king of Qi. And Wang Mingchuan and his son, as the last batch, were finally acquitted and released from prison.

The two came to Ping'anfang with each other, and Wang Mingchuan lived in his daughter's house as Wang Qifang's father.

"Father, now that the Li family's in-laws have drawn a clear line with the Li family, shouldn't the marriage contract between the seventh sister and Li Jingtian also be—"

Wang Jinjue was scared of being in prison, but now that it is easy to come out, he doesn't want to be affected anymore.

"That's right, for my father, I'll go to the prison to see Qi Niang."

"But what if the seventh sister refuses?"

"Huh, how dare she? If she is bent on getting involved with the Li thief, I will drive her out of the Wang family
