Early the next morning, Huang Rong packed her bags and stood up to say goodbye.
After Song Xuan met her and gave her a few instructions, he went to the Yamen to handle official business.
Song Qian accompanied her all the way to the pier.
Fuwei Escort Bureau has a batch of goods to be escorted to Songzhou recently. Song Qian arranged for someone to go and give instructions last night, asking them to take one more person with them.
Lin Zhennan naturally didn't dare to slack off when it came to the eldest lady, so he arranged for people to wait at the dock early.
"Sister Akane!"
Seeing Song Qian's figure, Lin Pingzhi began to wave and say hello warmly from afar.
"This is Lin Pingzhi, the young boss of Fuwei Escort Agency!"
Song Qian briefly introduced the other party's identity to Huang Rong and said: "The vast sea is very boring. If you have any requests on the boat, just ask him."
Huang Rong nodded in agreement, and the two sisters stood on the shore and whispered farewell words. As they talked, Song Qian put her arms around Huang Rong's shoulders and whispered: "My brother didn't come to see you off, are you disappointed? "
"Nothing!" Huang Rong raised her head proudly, "Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me!"
"Hey, you tough-tongued little girl!" Song Qian smiled meaningfully, "You really don't have any thoughts about my brother?"
"No!" Huang Rong said angrily: "Sister Qian, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for not writing to you when I get back."
"Fine!"
Song Qian stopped teasing her and put her on the boat. She couldn't help but sigh as she watched the huge ship slowly sail out of the dock.
Brother is so good, being a younger sister is a lot of pressure!
Fortunately, Xiao Huang Rong was thin-skinned and embarrassed to say some things. It would be great if all the women she met in the future were as sensible as Huang Rong.
In this way, there will be no conflicts between sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
...
Three days have passed since the palace of Prince Huai was ransacked.
Song Xuan is writing excerpts.
The previous story about the rebellion of the seven major families in Yangzhou was torn up by him and had to be rewritten.
The rebellion of several local families is a bit ridiculous no matter how you look at it, but if a certain local prince is involved, it seems logical.
Since ancient times, there have been many cases of princes rebelling. King Huai colluded with local nobles to plot rebellion. No matter how you look at it, it is very reasonable.
Coupled with Lin Ruhai, a third-rank official, the story of King Huai colluding with local rebellions becomes even more reasonable.
Song Xuan knew very well that in Yangzhou City, in addition to the Xuanyi guards, there were definitely spies from the emperor.
The Xiao family and other important families were wiped out, and Prince Huai's mansion was ransacked. The news probably spread out yesterday. It won't take too long for the emperor to get the news.
Therefore, regarding the matter of King Huai's rebellion, Song Xuan wrote very seriously. After writing, he checked it and made sure that there were no omissions. Sent.
Of these two documents, one was for the emperor and the other was sent to Zhao Dezhu, the inspection department of the imperial capital.
Next, it depends on the reaction from the court.
The time has come to test whether Zhao Dezhu can cover up.
...
In early October, the continuous rainy days for more than half a month made the weather in the imperial capital become even colder.
In the imperial palace and imperial study room, the emperor seemed not to feel the chill at all. He sat on the recliner and yawned while reading the memorial.
In recent days, perhaps because he favored the concubines in the palace too often, he always felt a little sleepy and couldn't get up his energy.
But the next moment, after reading a secret envelope, the emperor's sleepiness subsided instantly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stood up straight in a flash.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and continued to look.
A riot broke out in Jiangzhe Prefecture in Mingzhou. More than 5,000 people were killed by the Xuanyi Guards, who were not spared.
In addition, seven of the eight major families in Yangzhou were wiped out by Song Xuan. Even King Huai, who had always been idle and had no sense of existence, was also killed.
The emperor swallowed and was stunned by Song Xuan's generosity.
When Song Xuan was appointed to take up the post in the Jiangzhe Mansion, in addition to the recommendation of the commander of the Xuanyi Guards, the emperor also took a fancy to Song Xuan's temperament and ability to fear no power, and wanted him to check and balance the local wealthy families in Yangzhou City.
But in the end, this Song Xuan was not only unafraid of power, but also wanted to pierce through the heavens.
Is it so difficult to understand what I mean?
I want you to check and suppress the local big clans, and cooperate with the court to complete the annual taxation tasks. Who asked you to directly kill people and exterminate clans?
He could already predict what kind of turmoil would be caused in the court tomorrow. Those civil servants would definitely impeach and scold them like crazy, and maybe a few of them would be killed directly against the pillars to show their ambitions.
If it is not handled well and the court is in turmoil, the already unstable situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty may become even more out of control.
Filled with anger, he smashed the secret folder on the imperial desk. The emperor glanced at the hunched old eunuch standing aside, and said in a deep voice: "Go, quickly go and call Ye Tian for me! Also, Zhao Dezhu is also here. Call them all together!"
The old eunuch followed the order and left the palace with a few young eunuchs and went straight to the Xuanyi Guard Commander's Yamen.
...
Half an hour later, Xuanyi Guard commander Ye Tian and Director of the Inspection Department Zhao Dezhu were brought to the imperial study.
"Wei Chen, I have met His Majesty!"
The two simply bowed slightly, which was regarded as a courtesy.
The Emperor didn't waste any words and threw the secret book in his hand directly to Ye Tian, "See for yourselves, this is the good subordinate you recommended!"
Ye Tian picked up the secret fold, the two looked at each other, and then they browsed it quickly.
After reading the fold, Ye Tian handed the secret fold to the old eunuch beside him, and then looked at the emperor.
"King Huai colluded with local wealthy families to rebel. Song Xuan detected the signs in time and nipped the rebellion in the bud. This is a great achievement!"
Zhao Dezhu, director of the Inspection Department, also echoed: "Song Xuan is still young, and young people are prone to pride, so your majesty can simply reward him with some property without being overly favored."
"You two, don't stay here with me and Xini!"
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words. He pointed at Ye Tian and said angrily: "I ask you, did you convey my intention to Song Xuan at that time? I asked him to check and balance the local clans, not to exterminate the clans! "
Ye Tian touched Zhao Dezhu's arm and said, "Director Zhao, I remember telling you what His Majesty meant, right?"
"I said it!" Zhao Dezhu admitted directly.
The emperor turned his eyes to him, "Then tell me, how did you explain to him?"
Zhao Dezhu cupped his hands and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I told him about the situation in Jiangzhe Prefecture. There are many wealthy families and the local clans are powerful. It will be more difficult to do things there, so I asked him to be more careful."
"That's all?" The emperor frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
