Zhang Xu heard Zhao Shan's order and without any hesitation, he broke Wang Lan's neck and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will mobilize people from the East Factory to investigate the people around Wang Lan and kill everyone in one go."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Wang Lan, an old pious woman, took it upon herself to threaten Yu'er, but she is Zhao Rui's person, so she must take revenge."
"In addition, the new year is approaching, and we will attack Jingzhou next year, so taking action now will also warm up the attack next year."
"The reason I released the prisoners before was mainly to disturb the hearts of the people in Jingzhou."
"Now, people from Dongchang are arranged to operate in Jingzhou to dig out Zhao Rui's private life and make it public. This will ruin Zhao Rui's reputation and make him a complete disgrace on the street."
"In addition, please send word to Jingzhou that I will attack Jingzhou next year. Those who submit to the imperial court will not be punished. Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold and he said: "Mobilize public opinion in Jingzhou and make Zhao Rui nervous."
"As you command!"
Zhang Xu answered immediately.
He had Wang Lan's body dragged away and the room cleaned before leaving with the Dongchang people.
Zhao Shan went to see Xu Yu'er, told Wang Lan's matter to be resolved, and took Xu Yu'er and Zhao Yuer back to the palace to live.
There was Xu Yuer's bedroom in the palace.
Now that Xu Yu'er is back, she no longer lives in the queen's palace, but the standard is not bad and is the standard for a noble concubine.
Cao Mengchan knew that Xu Yu'er had returned to the palace, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, her status was as stable as Mount Tai. In addition, the emperor has always been in the third palace and the sixth courtyard, so there is no way she can stop him.
The news of Xu Yuer's return to the palace was suppressed and did not cause any disturbance. Zhao Shan dealt with government affairs as usual, and Fang Weihu began to think about a plan to attack Jingzhou.
Luoyang is very stable.
When everything was business as usual in Luoyang, the Su family in Jingzhou.
The current head of the Su family is named Su Wei, and he is Su Yunxi's eldest brother. When Su Zhen was killed in a collision in the main hall, Su Wei took his family back to his hometown in Jingzhou and survived the most difficult time.
Su Wei had just turned forty and served as the chief clerk in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and was also a core official around Zhao Rui.
When Su Yunxi failed to run a business in Luoyang and returned, Zhao Rui was very angry because Su Yunxi was Su Wei's sister and because the Su family was a wealthy family in Jingzhou, Zhao Rui did not deal with it.
The only thing is that Su Yunxi's business contact authority with Prince Chu's Mansion is much smaller.
Su Yunxi is now only in charge of the Su family's Hefengtang, and all the properties related to the Chu Palace have been taken back by Zhao Rui on the pretext of Luoyang's defeat.
Su Yunxi didn't pay attention to these, and focused on running Hefengtang, and then followed Zhao Shan's suggestions to benefit the people and manage his reputation.
Just like this, the Su family has a very good reputation and has a high influence among the people.
Su family, backyard residence.
In Su Yunxi's room, she had nothing to do and was reading the letter sent by Zhao Shan. This is the letter that Zhao Shan arranged for someone to send after he solved Zhao Fan. On the one hand, it was to inform Jizhou of the news, and on the other hand, it was to express concern for Su Yunxi.
After Su Yunxi got the news, he quietly arranged for people to spread the news that Zhao Fan had been killed and that Jizhou was taken back by the court.
There was some uproar all over Jingzhou because of this.
In particular, the news that Han Qianshan was killed in a raid on Hulao Pass shocked countless people. People in Jingzhou were surprised by the speed of the imperial court's strength, and even more surprised by the imperial court's influence.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shan destroyed Zhao Fan and forced the Northern Wei Dynasty to pay compensation.
This has not happened for many years.
After the news spread, Zhao Rui personally ordered the news to be blocked and no discussion of court matters was allowed, and then the news was slowly suppressed.
Even so, some people are talking about it privately.
Su Yunxi finished reading the letter and put it away carefully. However, she picked up a painting and looked at it carefully.
The person in the painting is clearly Zhao Shan.
Su Yunxi's wonderful eyes turned, and she looked at the portrait with a pair of eyes lovingly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, after you killed Zhao Fan and returned to Luoyang, did you miss me? I miss you a little, but I don't know when you will Only then can I come to Jingzhou."
There was a trace of sadness between her brows.
She is not young anymore, she is twenty-seven years old now. It is very unusual for her to be unmarried at this age. She is considered a very old girl in Daqian. Even if you are beautiful, charming, like a ripe peach, many people are not willing to marry you.
Su Yunxi wasn't too anxious. Anyway, she already had someone she liked, and they were already in bed with Zhao Shan.
She is Zhao Shan's woman.
However, the family members were very anxious, especially the eldest brother Su Wei, who desperately wanted to marry her off. He had said so many times, leaving Su Yunxi helpless.
Su Yunxi once considered telling Su Wei about her relationship with Zhao Shan and asking Su Wei to serve the court.
For this reason, she specially tested it.
It's a pity that Su Wei directly denied it.
What Su Wei means is that everyone in the Su family lives in Jingzhou and is under Zhao Rui's command. Once there is any rash action, the Su family will be in danger.
Although the previous imperial court had achieved some victories, its overall strength and influence were not strong enough. In addition, because of Su Zhen's incident, Su Wei had always been disappointed with the court and the emperor, and it was difficult to persuade Su Wei to submit to the court.
In desperation, Su Yunxi always hid the news. Anyway, the longer the time, the greater the influence of the court, and the easier it will be to persuade in the end.
While Su Yunxi was looking at Zhao Shan's portrait in a daze, the maid hurriedly came in and said, "Girl, the master is here."
Su Yunxi suddenly became nervous and quickly put away the portrait.
After a while, Su Wei walked in.
He is one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese-character face, and a serious smile. As soon as he stands in the crowd, he carries his own majesty.
Su Wei waved his hand for the maid to retreat and said in a deep voice: "Yunxi, my eldest brother has found a match for you. The person is Ma Ling, the eldest son of the Ma family in Jingzhou. He is a decent man and has been teaching in Jingzhou Academy. He is very talented. "
Su Yunxi frowned and said, "Brother, Ma Ling is a nerd and has married a long time ago."
"Ma Ling's first wife died of illness."
Su Wei flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "If Ma Ling's first wife hadn't died of illness, would he have been able to marry you? At your age, who else would you want to marry? Marrying an ordinary person would be looked down upon by your family. I'm not happy either. People are not happy to marry into a famous family, and they also think you are too old, so there is no one suitable for you."
"I won't marry!"
Su Yunxi answered decisively.
"no!"
Su Wei's eyes were sharp and he said forcefully: "You have to get married even if you don't want to get married. If you are this age, how can you become a nun if you don't get married? If I had known, I shouldn't have let you go into business. You are so wild and hard to train at a young age, so now you are not Get married. There is no room for negotiation in this marriage."
Su Yunxi gritted her teeth and said: "Brother, I don't want to marry. If you force me, I will die."
Su Wei was so angry that his body trembled slightly and said, "You, are you going to make me angry to death?"
Su Yunxi frowned and didn't reply.
After Su Wei became angry, he suddenly looked at Su Yunxi carefully and asked, "Do you already have someone you like?"
Su Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
However, she still didn't answer.
There was a hint of joy in Su Wei's eyes, and he asked: "Tell me, who do you like? Even if the other person is from a poor family, as long as he is talented and capable, my eldest brother will recognize him. If you don't tell me, I will have to marry you to Ma Mausoleum.”
Su Yunxi hesitated for a moment and replied: "Brother, I am already your Majesty's man."
