On the second day, Wen Yi arranged for someone to pick up Yunni, and Liu Dongxing went to Hu Jinquan to discuss the book.

He did not write to the imperial court from the formal channel, but chose the secret channel of the General Administration. Hu Jinquan also agreed with his suggestion. In order to break the stalemate and disrupt the logistics of King Zheng's army, they advocated leniency for the old people of King Kang's mansion and fought to tie them to the big ship of counterinsurgency. In hindsight, this method is quite useful, the reason why King Zheng lost so quickly is inseparable from the actions of the old people in King Kang's Mansion, but this does not mean that King Kang's Mansion has become an innocent person.

If it weren't for the persecution of King Zheng's Mansion too much, and Wang Yongtai, the most firm advocate of cooperation with King Zheng in the old people of King Kang's Mansion, was killed by Shen Tugang again, the rest of the old people of King Kang's Mansion would never change their minds and be hostile to King Zheng's Mansion. On the surface, they put all the blame on Wang Yongtai, Widow Qin and Zhu Jiayi, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that without their participation, it would be impossible for one Wang Yongtai, a widow from a slave and a half-grown child, to control all the power of King Kang's mansion and help King Zheng accumulate a large amount of wealth in just one year, which was used to raise soldiers. However, the rapid fall of King Zheng made everyone in King Kang's mansion a little flustered, thinking that he had made a great effort to help the court successfully quell a rebellion. Not only are they without fault, but they also have great merits, and the court will no longer pursue them, and they may even receive rich rewards, which are more glorious than when King Kang was still alive in the past. Because at that time, they only relied on the prestige of their master to call for wind and rain in Cannes, but now it is they who have contributed to the court.

There are more and more old people in King Kang's Mansion who have this kind of thought, and even these people from the Chen Si family who left King Kang's Mansion one step earlier have gradually recovered their confidence because the new master is a counterinsurgency hero, and the heroine Wen Yi attaches great importance to them. Although the status of Kangnan's garrison is not as noble as that of the vassal king, he is also the most powerful chief officer in the military within a radius of 100 miles, and with such a reliance, they will inevitably be able to shine again.

But Liu Dongxing, Hu Jinquan and others never wanted them to have such thoughts.

This group of people were not the servants of ordinary rich and noble families, they were born in the vassal palace, and they were once infinitely beautiful, even more powerful than local officials. The prefect of Kangcheng is a fourth-grade official, but so far I have seen that they are still polite and respectful. They have a lot of money, and they still have a lot of property in their hands, and if they stomp their feet, the whole Cannes will tremble. They are numerous, and there is no shortage of talents, not only good at management, but also very bold in fighting for power and profit, even dare to rebel, and the vassal royal clan dares to calculate revenge. Liu Dongxing asked himself that he was just a small military attache with a mediocre background and a mediocre official position, he couldn't suppress this group of wealthy slaves, and he didn't believe that they would be good citizens from now on and would not do anything more.

Hu Jinquan, on the other hand, looked at the matter more from the perspective of prevention. The reason why King Kang's Mansion participated in the rebellion was because the imperial court cut the domain of King Kang's Mansion, causing them to lose their former powerful position, but the emperor and the crown prince both advocated cutting the domain, and what King Kang's Mansion lost was absolutely impossible to come back. Today, because they suffered a big loss, they turned their faces with Zheng Wangfu, and turned around and stood on the side of the court to deal with the latter, who knows that they will not conspire with other forces to plot against the court for the same purpose in the future?

With this in mind, Hu Jinquan came up with an idea to further improve Liu Dongxing's plan.

Liu Dongxing's original suggestion was that the imperial court sent Zhu Jingshen, the son of the former Kang Wang, to come forward and pass on some of the leading old servants in the name of gathering servants and keep them by his side to wait, and as for the property in their hands, it was handed over to the "servants" around him according to Zhu Jingshen's order—in fact, the people sent by the imperial court. When the time comes, if Zhu Jingshen is willing to stay by their side to wait, it will be their honor, if Zhu Jingshen is unwilling, they will be moved to other places with their families by the imperial court.

Zhu Jingshen is in dire straits in the capital right now, as long as it can improve his situation, he must not refuse to do it. Those old people in King Kang's Mansion will change Zhu Jiayi to be the young master, which is an offense to him, will he still pity these disloyal people?

Hu Jinquan proposed that if those people refused to obey Zhu Jingshen's summons, it would mean betraying the master, and they would naturally not be qualified to do anything in the name of King Kang's Mansion in the future. Just let Zhu Jingshen come forward and announce that they have nothing to do with King Kang's Mansion, and they will become ordinary businessmen. They have done a lot of illegal things in the past, and they just picked one out and dealt with it, but it was just a matter of one sentence. Next, if Zhu Jingshen announced that they would dedicate their family property to the imperial court, then the royal family would avoid the criticism of forcibly seizing the clan property. Moreover, King Kang's Mansion is suspected of rebellion, Zhu Jingshen, as a young master, should have been guilty, if he made meritorious contributions to the court for such reasons, the court would have a reason to forgive him. An idle clan cannot make a climate, but for the emperor and the crown prince, this is a good opportunity to show their generosity and benevolence.

The two discussed it, wrote it as a secret fold and submitted it, and one went back to the Pingyang General Administration, and the other went back to the Kangnan garrison, waiting for the response from the capital.

During the time they were away, Taiwei Zheng was really comfortable in Cannes. The evidence against her daughter-in-law's family has arrived; Princess Zheng is very quiet and obedient; The prefect of Cannes is very discerning and knows the rules very well; Qingzhou sent good news one after another, the rebels had all surrendered, and his generals also found dragon robes and other incriminating evidence from King Zheng's mansion; At the same time, he also used the property he had recently looted to successfully bribe the prison guards, and the other party promised not to talk nonsense in front of the emperor; Then, several of King Zheng's used staff sent from King Zheng's mansion in Qingzhou overnight also brewed a "handwritten" suicide note from King Zheng, stating that he had already had the will to die, and would seek death as long as he found the opportunity. He got a few drops of blood on the suicide note, so that people could believe that it was found from King Zheng's body.

Once all this had been done, he began to think about it. Of course, he would not stupidly put the responsibility of King Zheng's suicide on others, and he still wanted to repent of his negligence, and he could not be less, and he could even say that the punishment was heavier. He knew that the emperor would not really punish him. But just in case, he had to persuade Princess Zheng and the prince not to talk nonsense when they arrived in front of the palace.

In order to achieve this goal, he ordered Princess Zheng to be separated from the prince, and threatened the former with the safety of the prince. But at this time, Princess Zheng had already learned the news of her biological son through the maid arranged by the General Administration Department, so she naturally did not take his threat to heart, but just pretended to be scared on the surface, no matter what he asked, she accepted all of them, and even took the initiative to tell him that King Dongping still had two letters hidden in the secret compartment of King Zheng's mansion, so that he could find out and destroy them, so as to lower his vigilance, and only waited for the emperor to retract his confession.

In fact, these two letters were just one of many correspondence between the two royal palaces, and it did not matter, and she had already told the people of the General Administration Department where the important ones were hidden.

When Taiwei Zheng escorted Princess Zheng and the "prince" on the road again, the Secretary for General Administration also sent the real princes and servants of the prince Zheng, Zhu Jiayi and Yunni on the way back to Beijing.

Wen Yi prepared bags and entanglements for Yunni, knowing that she had made up her mind, and it was not easy to stop her, but she just told her: "If you have no place to go in the future, go back to Xishan Village, I have already sent a letter to Lao Zhang and his family, they will divide your house and land, and Cuihua is also looking forward to your return." ”

Yun Ni smiled gratefully, knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, and followed the people of the General Administration.

Wen Yi sent the deceased away with a heavy heart, and then put her mind back on her homework. Grandmother had already set a time to come to Cannes, at the end of February. The college started classes on February 12, so the sixth cousin Wen Shun and the eleventh cousin Wen Quan would take the lead. Wen Yi hurriedly led people to clean up the small courtyard and sorted out the future residence of the brothers.

Jiang Shi found Han Tianshuang again, this time she greeted Wen Hui in advance, although the latter objected, but she had enough justifiable reasons - it won't be long before the house Wen Yi bought will be full, their mother and daughter are not good to squeeze here, so they naturally have to find another house, Han Tianshuang is an acquaintance, far more reliable than others.

Wen Hui was deeply disturbed by what her mother had done. She felt ashamed. Although Jiang repeatedly promised that he would not explicitly mention the marriage to Han Tianshuang, and even if he was tempted, he would tell his family after returning to Pingyang, she still thought that Han Tianshuang was very likely to detect his mother's true intentions. Thinking that the other party is a straightforward person, if he really knows what his mother means, he may directly refuse him, Wen Hui is so ashamed that he can't die. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Shi went out, she would be restless and her temper would become irritable.

Wen Yi was very disdainful of this: "If the sixth sister is so reluctant about this marriage, just say it to the eldest aunt." She's just worried that you'll be helpless for life, but she doesn't have the idea of marrying you to someone. What is there to worry about the sixth sister? ”

Wen Hui immediately blushed, glared at her, and said, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with me recently, where am I provoking you?" ”

Wen Yi turned her head: "You didn't mess with me, but I can't get used to it." You say that you want the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to never marry for life, but on the other hand, you live a luxurious life and often go out to play, I really don't know what you are thinking, you always complain that the eldest aunt violated the original agreement, and insisted on kissing you, why don't you know to reflect on yourself, you look at your current appearance, as if you want to sincerely practice Buddhism? "This kind of dryness and crispness really tarnishes the word cultivation

Wen Hui said angrily: "Why am I not sincere in my cultivation? I'll cut my hair and be a sister-in-law tomorrow to see who else will force me to marry."

Wen Yi said coldly: "If that's the case, it's the Gu family's creation." Your mother doesn't have to worry about your family anymore, and your old lady has nothing to say when she comes back. ”

Wen Hui stared at her, she was doing needlework by herself, but she couldn't see it. At this time, Dong Lai came in with a letter: "Big * milk, Heng'an's hometown has sent a letter." ”

Wen Yi was puzzled, took the letter, and asked casually, "Who is the one who came to deliver the letter?" ”

"It's the little guy next to the second master." Dong Kui paused, "He said that the second master and the second grandmother are already on their way to Cannes, and they will arrive in about two or three days." ”

Wen Yi's action of opening the letter paused, and Wen Hui on the side also changed her face.
