Chapter 480: Rebellion is only for the Nine Clans (10)

I have to say that the words of Liu Hong, a member of the military department, did provide a new idea for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Yes, Princess Jiahe alone.

Even if you add the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

It is impossible to dig so many underground passages quietly under the capital, and transport the soil away, and then go to the public and private treasury of the major officials and nobles in a very short time to steal their homes, but if you add the White Lotus Sect.

It is undoubtedly possible.

No one dared to underestimate the hidden power of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect was born nearly a thousand years, and has always adhered to the long-term rebellion from the grass creation, the Red Turban soldiers of the rebel army that the founding emperor of this dynasty originally participated in, which was supported by the White Lotus Sect, and the founding Emperor Ming Wu of the previous dynasty also received the support of the White Lotus Sect, which was still successfully enthroned and called the emperor, and the emperor who was called the king was killed, and there are many more, more or less related to the White Lotus Sect.

It may be an exaggeration to say that the White Lotus Sect can manipulate the change of dynasties in the world, but the hidden forces are extremely extraordinary, and they are inexhaustible and endless, but it is not an exaggeration at all.

Even after Emperor Qiankun ascended the throne and became emperor, he immediately turned his face and denied people, and began to exterminate the White Lotus Sect on a large scale.

And it did make the White Lotus Sect suffer heavy losses.

But still no one dared to despise the White Lotus Sect.

The officials and nobles also believed that they had this ability.

"It's over, if this matter is really manipulated by the White Lotus Sect, then so much gold and silver will fall into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and the world will be in chaos!"

"Does the White Lotus Sect have the guts?"

"I haven't heard that there is a White Lotus Sect in the capital!"

"A few years ago, Emperor Yongsheng went on an expedition to Mobei, because of the tax increase, there were White Lotus Sect demons in the southwest, but they were also strangled, and for many years after that, I have not heard of the White Lotus Sect demons raging and preaching.

Could it be that they have been secretly arranging all along?"

"If there are indeed many White Lotus Sect believers in the capital, as long as they join forces, it is indeed possible to dig so many underground passages in a relatively short period of time, and they will also be able to transfer assets in a very short time.

But even so, how do they keep it secret, the more people who know, the more people who participate.

the more difficult it is to keep it secret.

How can no news leak out?"

"If this matter is indeed related to the White Lotus Sect, then the development of the White Lotus Sect over the years may have been extremely terrifying, and maybe even the Imperial Palace and our mansions have been infiltrated, which is simply too terrifying."

"Wait, if they can easily enter our private vault, won't it be easier to enter our bedroom, if I'm not mistaken, this time there are quite a few people with a bad reputation who have been killed!"

"So, they still have their hands!"

"It's so easy to get rich, why is it so hard to kill someone?"

With the emergence of the new guessing direction of the White Lotus Sect, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately began to discuss this point, and the more they discussed, the more they made up their minds and became more frightened.

Because if this matter is really done by the White Lotus Sect.

So it may be difficult to say whether the White Lotus Sect has the ability to subvert the country at this time, but it is definitely not a problem to subvert the capital, think about it, since those guys can quietly dig tunnels, straight to their private or public treasury, naturally they can also quietly dig tunnels to their bedrooms, and fortunately they are only for wealth this time, if they are for their lives, move down the tunnel exit, even if it is impossible to kill them all, but killing five or six percent, or even seven or eight percent is definitely not a problem.

After all, who would have thought that someone would enter their house by digging a tunnel and do such an operation.

To put it mildly, the defense of their bedroom, the solidity of the floor, are far inferior to those of the private treasury or the emperor's treasury, and those people can easily and quietly go in and steal things, then they can sneak into their bedrooms more easily and quietly.

And then kill with a knife, or poison, or whatever, so if you analyze it like this.

Many officials even broke out in a cold sweat.

Glad that the other party is only for money.

They didn't want their lives.

At the same time, although Emperor Xuanwu was still quite calm on the surface, he was also frightened inside, after all, he had never considered a possible attack from underground.

So, he immediately coughed dryly and interrupted:

"It's all quiet, uh, just now the Ministry of Industry said that the danger of the underground passage is not it, transfer all the Ouchi Forbidden Army back for the time being, Dali Temple and other departments are also fully cooperative, give priority to the investigation of the underground passages under the palace, and quickly fill in those passages after the investigation.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry will dispatch more generals, temporarily allocate funds from the treasury, and focus on protecting the ground protection of important palaces such as the Qianqing Palace and the Zichen Palace!"

"Since there are safety risks, they cannot be ignored."

Compared with the possible risk of collapse, it is obvious that there may still be assassinations and other operations from the underground, which makes Emperor Xuanwu more worried and afraid, indeed, if the underground passage is not filled, the palace will never be so safe, and someone may climb into the palace through the underground passage at any time.

Other places can not be in a hurry for the time being.

The underground of the palace must be operated quickly.

Although the hundred officials know very well that this is the emperor's fear of death, and they know that it is not appropriate for the emperor to use the silver in the treasury to repair the palace, but after all, the emperor's internal money has been stolen, and there is no money if the treasury is not used, so he can't sell Huangzhuang or sell officials.

Therefore, after the hundred officials looked at each other for a while.

No one dared to stop it, so they could only admit it.

At the same time, there are also some officials who know that they are not good people, or there are officials and nobles in their families who died in this incident, and they have also begun to wonder whether they will be in danger, and whether they should quickly fill in the passages under their homes.

Although the loss of most of the family's wealth is a big deal.

But no matter how big it is, it's not as important as your own life.

If the money is gone, you can be greedy again, or you can take it by trick and robbery, and your life is gone, but you really have nothing!

Immediately afterwards, the hundred officials argued again.

In the end, two things were settled.

First, Princess Jiahe was wanted, and by the way, the rebellion case of the Marquis of Yong'an Mansion and the rebellion of the prince were merged, and they were all dealt with according to the clan extermination, and the princes were no exception.

It's not that Emperor Xuanwu doesn't want to destroy the nine clans, the key is that the prince exterminates the nine clans, even he is within the nine clans, there is no way to destroy it, the Yong'an Hou Mansion is also a myriad of in-laws, if you really want to destroy the nine clans, you have to implicate many nobles, so you can only take a step back, all the princes are destroyed by the prince himself, and the Yong'an Hou Mansion is the same, with the Yong'an Hou as the bottom, the difference is that Yong'an Hou's own mother was also counted together and sent down.

The second is to continue to investigate the case of the disappearance of gold and silver, and bury the underground passages as much as possible when all the underground passages are clear, and at the same time investigate all the poor people in the capital in detail, and find out the specific traces of the White Lotus Sect as much as possible.
