Chapter 41: Confinement

The smile on Xiao Rui's face was gone, and he sighed and said, "The news I got is very simple, it was sent by the imperial court for eight hundred miles. It's just that the prince rebelled, colluded with the three major generals of the Beijing camp, started from Guangdemen, burned all the way, and even set the second brother's mansion on fire. However, fortunately, the second brother's family escaped and was not harmed. They then attacked the imperial city, occupied the yamen, and then attacked the palace. Until he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, in the Qinzheng Palace, he was taken down by the Imperial Forest Army transferred by his father, the three generals of the Beijing camp were beheaded on the spot, the rest were imprisoned, and the eldest brother was abolished as a prince and became a commoner, and was confined to the late Prince Yu's mansion on the edge of the imperial city. ”

"Through the search of the eldest brother's East Palace, it was found that many of the eldest brother's cronies were all over the government and the opposition, among which those who participated in this rebellion were all underground, and some were assassins from other places, Taishou, governors, garrisons and the like, and even some Confucians, scholarly families, etc., Jiangnan merchants, Jin merchants, etc., were all involved, these people did not directly rebel, but they were also implicated, and all those who were in the list had to be on the spot with the local royal family or the highest governor, and they would be taken down first. In order to avoid the incident of King Qin in order to save the prince in the future. ”

"Here in Hu Province, because I happen to be here, I sent me to take down the people on this list on the spot. Among them, there are not many people in Ba Province, and the most important high-ranking official is the teacher, he, didn't we take it down a long time ago? has already gone to the capital with the fleet, and it is estimated that it has not yet arrived at this time. For the remaining small fish and shrimp, I have already sent an official document to Governor Wang and asked him to handle it, and then escorted these people to the capital. ”

"Here in Lake Province, the most important thing is Wang Yifan and Hu Deyan. There are also the Fang family and the Hong family who support their money. There were also several wealthy merchant families. Among them, rice merchants are the most numerous. I will interrogate them first, and then escort them to the capital to await the trial. ”

"It is estimated that the capital is now in chaos. However, with my father's ability to govern, we should be able to handle it properly, so we don't have to worry. ”

"By the way, casually, just like the situation in our previous life, Hu Deyan's Hu family, as well as his Confucian father, have been sent to prison, and the Hu family in the capital has been raided, and the specific result has not yet been decided. However, I guess it was either exiled or killed. The Hu family is finished. ”

Qin Mingyue asked, "What about the others?" In his previous life, the prince's rebellion caused nearly half of the people in the capital to be killed and injured, and he didn't recover for ten years? What now? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "It doesn't say anything in this official document. It is estimated that in two days, you will give you specific news from Xingxinglou. We'll wait. My news channel is not so fast, and it will take me five or six days to get there. ”

Qin Mingyue could only shake her head and say, "Then aren't you busy in the past two days?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "Fortunately, we prepared to deal with Hu Deyan in advance, so we collected more about the officialdom of Hu Province. Although there are many corrupt officials, there are also capable corrupt officials, who are much stronger than those like Hu Deyan. I'm already ready to take Hu Deyan's hands over and promote some capable ones. Hey, it's hard to find someone who is honest? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I know that you can't bear the rule of officials. In my previous life, at the beginning, I was like this, jealous and hateful. However, later, I found out that when the water is clear, there are no fish, politics is inherently compromised, dirty, too clean will not do things well, and it is the people who are hurt. So, in the later stage, I also learned to compromise and learn to use the right people in the right position. As for whether they are honest or not, it is natural to pay more attention to them and try not to let them go down the wrong path, but they should not be too harsh. ”

"Therefore, in the later stage, I can fight with He steadily. By the way, have you forgotten what happened in Pakistan? The person we accepted, is Wang Meiren as clear as water? ”

Xiao Rui thinks about it. He said, "Hey, if you deal with this complicated situation, you will definitely be much better than me." But you resolutely refused to do so. Ay. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I'm not a national teacher yet, am I? Even if I become a national teacher, I don't want to be like in my previous life, holding all the military and political power in my hands, I don't want to say anything when I'm tired, and I also make Xiao Xi disgusted. In the end, he killed himself. Even if you kill yourself, you almost hurt the entire line of our Daomen's national teacher. I don't learn the lessons in this life. See? What have the national teachers done in the past? I can't just hang up like them, but it's okay to ask less. ”

"Besides, I'm going to be busy too. Hu Deyan stepped down, and it happened that the Taoism of our lake province could be carried out. Do those whom you have supported not obey my commands? Don't look at Hu Deyan's fate. ”

"Besides, you're not busy alone, I know that you have Jiang Rui and others by your side, and you will definitely be able to handle it properly, if you are still not at ease, you can tell me about the past few days, if there is something wrong, I will point it out to you." It's nothing. ”

"Also, in a few days, I copied Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan's belongings, show me, if there is any need, I will tell you. Just take this opportunity to pull some things for my Taoist students. ”

Xiao Rui could only smile wryly and nodded.

Xiao Rui was so busy that it wasn't until five days later that it came to an end. When Qin Mingyue saw Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui's beard had grown. The dignified Martial Sect actually looked a little haggard.

Xiao Rui pulled Qin Mingyue outside and asked, "Are you busy these days?" How about eating? Does it taste good? I drank all the soup you brought me, and it tasted good. ”

Qin Mingyue asked as she walked, "Where are we going?" Can I eat badly? The chef I used was brought out of the capital, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he used fresh local ingredients from Hu Province. You also said, the soup is not bad? What else can I do these days? Of course, I'm busy with things about Taoism. Of course, I also exchanged Taoism with the Daomen masters in Lake Province, which was very rewarding. How's things going on over there? ”

Xiao Rui said: "It's okay on my side, with Jiang Rui and their help, it is naturally very fast, plus, after all, I am a prince, my identity is here, it is not good to interfere too much in local military affairs, just be responsible for arresting Hu Deyan's henchmen, temporarily appointing officials, and then looking for evidence of Hu Deyan's crimes." Today, the imperial court's eight-hundred-mile urgent report has come down, and Hu Deyan and a few others can be raided, let's hurry up and take a look. Isn't that what you're asking for? ”

Qin Mingyue suddenly became energetic.
