Zhao Shan sealed his throat with his sword and killed Ye Xian'er, and ordered: "Ye Xian'er will deal with it first, and then send it to the Su family. All the bodies of the White Lotus sect have been disposed of. Next, Dongchang will eliminate the White Lotus sect in Jingzhou."
"Slave takes orders!"
Gao Yuan answered respectfully.
Zhao Shan praised: "You did a very good job investigating the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou this time."
Gao Yuan was happy in his heart, but did not show it at all. He still arched his back slightly and said respectfully: "The slave was able to find out the White Lotus Sect because His Majesty established the Dongchang. He has enough foundation to make use of the personnel and intelligence of the Dongchang. Mobilize forces on a large scale to investigate. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the old slave to investigate."
Zhao Shan's eyes were even more approving.
Gao Yuan is different from Zhang Xu. He is more humble and discerning, and can be promoted and reused.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Continue to investigate the matter in Jingzhou and find out the officials and wealthy families who have colluded with the White Lotus Sect. All the people found in Jingzhou will be handed over to the Yushitai, and the cases will be sent directly there. Dongchang will no longer Intervene.”
"Slave, you obey!"
Gao Yuan answered respectfully.
Zhao Shan had been observing Gao Yuan's demeanor. Seeing that Gao Yuan was always cautious and calm, he felt more and more admiration in his heart, and ordered: "As for the handling of the case involving the White Lotus Sect in Yangzhou, once officials and wealthy families are found, Dongchang can kill them first and then report them."
Gao Yuan suddenly became excited.
This is opportunity.
This is also a huge right.
He knew that from today on, his position in Dongchang was completely stable, and even Zhang Xu could not affect him.
His influence will not be weaker than Zhang Xu.
Gao Yuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will complete the purge of the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou in the shortest possible time and then hand over the situation to the Yushitai. Regarding matters in Yangzhou, I will also go as soon as possible to set up an outpost in Yangzhou for Your Majesty. Find out the situation of the White Lotus Sect and King Wu Zhao Gou to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence."
"very good!"
Zhao Shan nodded slightly, reached out and patted Gao Yuan's shoulder, and left with his entourage without saying anything more.
At this moment, Gao Yuan's face was even more flushed.
He was so excited.
Although a eunuch like him could no longer move, Zhao Shan's affirmation and encouragement were the greatest comfort to an eunuch like Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan has no heirs, and it is impossible to have heirs inherited by blood. He is already the director of the Royal Horse Supervisor and the governor of the East Factory, and he has rights, not less than Zhang Xu.
Now Gao Yuan's pursuit is fame and fortune.
In fact, Gao Yuan has become the governor of Dongchang and has become very powerful. Every move can determine the life and death of countless people. Even the influence of the governor of Dongchang is enough to become a sharp sword over everyone's head, making all officials tremble in silence.
These are not lofty pursuits.
Gao Yuan hopes to climb to the top step by step and leave a name in history, not an infamy, but a good reputation like the very few eunuchs.
Gao Yuan thinks he has a chance.
Your Majesty is a holy king.
If you follow the sage, you have a great chance of becoming a sage.
Zhao Shan didn't know what Gao Yuan was thinking. It would be more gratifying if he knew, because Zhang Xu, the personal eunuch, was a little confused and couldn't figure out his identity. In fact, this was also caused by Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan favored Zhang Xu alone and let Zhang Xu take charge of all eunuch affairs. Because Zhang Xu was the only one in charge, he lost control.
Having high and far-reaching constraints can help Zhang Xu sober up.
Zhao Shan returned all the way with his personal entourage and did not go to Yuanyang Tower again. He went to Yuanyang Tower for no other reason than to expose Ye Xianer's identity. Now that he has completed his mission, there is no need to go again.
Zhao Shan went all the way back to the Su family.
When Su Yunxi saw Zhao Shan come back with blood on his body, his expression was full of worry, and he asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, you were ambushed. Are you injured?"
Zhao Shan looked relaxed, smiled and shook his head: "I am not injured, and the blood stains on my body are from the White Lotus cultivators. Get ready while I wash up."
"I accept my orders!"
Su Yunxi immediately made arrangements.
The maid went to prepare hot water. Su Yunxi looked at Zhao Shan, but he hesitated. He wanted to ask about the White Lotus Saint, but was worried that it was not over yet.
Zhao Shan said softly: "Don't worry, the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou has been eliminated, and the leading White Lotus Saint has been killed on the spot. All the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have also been killed. Once the White Lotus Saint's head is dealt with, I will personally Let’s go pay homage to my uncle.”
brush!
Su Yunxi was extremely excited.
Done!
Finally avenged!
Su Yunxi grabbed Zhao Shan's arm and said gratefully: "Your Majesty caught the real culprit, thank you so much. Without Your Majesty coming to Xiangyang in person, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been caught. I don't know how to face my elder brother. I don't know." How to face my family."
Zhao Shan smiled and said, "Do you really want to thank me?"
Su Yunxi nodded solemnly.
A smile appeared in Zhao Shan's eyes. He likes people who repay kindness the most. This is a woman who can clearly distinguish between grudges and grudges. Zhao Shan took Su Yunxi's hand and said, "In that case, thank me properly after washing."
Su Yunxi's face suddenly turned red.
She understood the implication of gratitude.
After all, they are a married couple, so it is normal to talk about these things, and there is nothing to be shy about. In order to fully repay Zhao Shan, Su Yunxi asked the kitchen staff to prepare some wine and food for Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan ate and drank to fill his stomach, and the person preparing hot water on the other side was also fine.
Zhao Shan went to wash up and then returned to the room. Everything changed.
Zhao Shan was drunk and a little tipsy. Adhering to the principle of drinking and not driving, he directly turned on the automatic driving mode, focusing on the enjoyment of sniping from the front and shooting from the back. After a long time, Su Yunxi was completely satisfied, and Zhao Shan also released the pressure in his body.
In the room, everything returned to calm.
The two were chatting in the yard, and Zhao Shan learned about the situation of the children under Su Wei's knees.
Su Wei was married long ago.
Currently, Su Wei has two sons and one daughter. The sons are all children of his first wife. The eldest son, Su Qi, is currently twelve years old. The second son, Su Ming, is only five years old.
The daughter Su Xian is the daughter of a concubine.
When Zhao Shan understood the situation, the attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Gao Yuan asked to see you and said that all the bodies of the White Lotus cultists have been disposed of, and the body of Ye Xian'er has also been disposed of."
Zhao Shan nodded and ordered: "Yunxi, call the family, let's go worship Su Wei."
Su Yunxi immediately informed him.
There were not many people who went to worship with him, namely Su Wei's widow, his wife, his two sons and daughter, plus Zhao Shan and Su Yunxi. The group left Xiangyang City and came to a beautiful mountain forest four miles northwest of Xiangyang City.
This is the burial place of Su Wei.
The cemetery is backed by mountains and water, with pleasant scenery. The scenery is quite good, and the surrounding environment is quiet and elegant.
Zhao Shan walked to the cemetery and saw some fresh fruits and some burned wax paper money next to the cemetery. He looked at Su Yunxi and asked, "Have the Su family come to worship recently?"
"No!"
Su Yunxi shook his head.
Su Wei's wife and children also shook their heads.
Zhao Shan nodded and suddenly understood.
Su Wei has been dead for a long time, but some people come to pay special tribute. This shows that Su Wei has a high prestige among the people and has a good official reputation. Without Su Wei's diligence and love for the people, there would be no spicy paper money left after paying homage to Su Wei's grave.
Zhao Shan nodded to Gao Yuan and saw Gao Yuan walking up carrying a wrapped human head and placing it in front of the grave. Zhao Shan took the three lit incense sticks from Gao Yuan's hand and bowed before inserting them.
Looking at the green grass on the tomb, Zhao Shan said slowly: "Su Qing, I have avenged your revenge for you. You don't have to worry, I will take care of the people of the Su family and won't let you have any worries. "
"Everything is with me."
"It's a pity that you and I, the monarch and my ministers, are separated by yin and yang, so we can't join us in creating a prosperous age together."
Zhao Shan also sighed in his heart.
Su Wei made great contributions in the process of killing Zhao Rui. Without Su Wei as an internal agent, it would be difficult to kill Zhao Rui easily. Because of Su Wei's dedication and guidance, the war became easier.
After Zhao Rui's death, Su Wei served as the governor of Jingzhou. He quickly stabilized the chaos, solved the people's livelihood problems in Jingzhou, curbed the powerful, and appeased the people. These are all Su Wei's contributions.
Zhao Shan babbled for a long time before retreating, allowing the Su family to offer incense and worship, and finally led them back to the Su family.
Zhao Shan sat directly above.
Including Su Yunxi, everyone in the Su family stood in the hall.
Zhao Shan looked over, swept through everyone in the Su family, and said slowly: "Su Wei worked hard and paid a lot for Daqian during his lifetime. In Jingzhou under his rule, the people's livelihood was prosperous, and the people's customs improved, reversing the situation left by Zhao Rui. The harsh environment left us. When Su Wei died, I couldn’t bear to leave him, but I had no choice but to do so. But he died, so he couldn’t just go quietly. The imperial court gave him a posthumous gift to purge the governor of Jingzhou and posthumously grant him the title of Zhuanghou!"
Su Wei's old wife burst into tears when she heard this. She and her whole family knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Shan continuously to express their gratitude and salute.
The whole family is extremely grateful to Zhao Shan.
After being awarded the posthumous title of Governor of Jingzhou and the posthumous title of Zhuanghou, Su Wei can re-erect a monument to engrave his achievements and write them into the local annals of Jingzhou. This is also an achievement that will leave a name in history. This is the heritage of the Su family and the best recognition of Su Wei.
The Su family is different.
This alone shows that the emperor takes care of the Su family. In the future, the men of the Su family have not yet grown up, and they are not bullied by cats and dogs.
This is the benefit of a posthumous gift.
Zhao Shan's eyes fell on Su Wei's eldest son and he said, "Your name is Su Qi, right?"
"yes!"
Su Qi stepped forward and answered.
He is not very old, only about twelve years old, his appearance is still very green and immature, and his lips are bald and beardless. However, Su Qi was from a noble family after all. He had been taught by Su Wei since he was a child, and he behaved appropriately and calmly.
These are the heritage of aristocratic families.
When children are relatively young, many principles and rules begin to be instilled in their minds. When children grow up and encounter problems, the principles and rules learned in the early years will affect the children, allowing them to become enlightened as soon as possible.
Zhao Shan looked approvingly and ordered: "You are not young anymore. After a few years of training, you can do things and get married. You can join the Forbidden Army and stay in the palace to be a Yulin Lang."
