Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 141 The Family
Yiman sat back at the desk and played with the tea cup unconsciously.

In the past, when I talked about the face-to-face matter with the prince, it was just a joke. Could it be that Zhou Yu took it seriously and carefully thought about the possibility?
No, it really doesn't look like Zhou Yu, who is gentle on the outside but colder than ice on the inside - but no matter what, Zhou Yu himself has never admitted it.

Besides, she was not willing to use love to get things done. The speculations in the study at this time were just Huang Huifeng's speculation.

"Don't mention this matter again. Since there is nothing wrong with the fumigation, Huang Huifeng, please step back."

"Kick it when you're done. It's like a crow standing on a pig."

Huang Huifeng turned and left muttering.

Yiman sat behind the desk, looking at the medicinal tea in the cup, and slowly frowned.

Xiao Shenzi walked in quickly and lowered his voice, "Princess, the people have gathered. Eunuch Lu is watching personally from outside the palace."

Yiman immediately came back to his senses, his eyes sharp, "Distribute all the lists of direct descendants pointed to by the evidence, send people to Dali Temple to notify Chu Nan, and immediately go to Duan Mansion to arrest people according to the list."

Xiao Shenzi responded and immediately went down to do some work.

As long as the direct lineage of the Duan family is caught and the chaos is cut with a sharp knife, I don't believe that the Duan family can rebel.

Ji Lan handed over a cup of tea hesitantly, "Princess, do you want to inform His Highness the Crown Prince about this?"

"If Chu Nan takes action, he won't be able to hide it from the imperial brother. Songguo should go to the East Palace and tell him."

"Yes."

Two days later, under pressure from the top and bottom, Dali Temple arrested all the direct members of the Duan family who had evidence of illegal activities, and the Dali Temple prison was suddenly overcrowded.

Sitting in the main hall of the East Palace, Yiman lowered his head slightly, grabbed his sleeves, and peeked at the prince.

The prince frowned slightly and kept writing something.

"Brother Imperial, now we have all been captured, and the people are clapping their hands and celebrating -"

The prince quickly put down his pen, blew the letter, folded it and handed it to Eunuch Zhao, "This letter has been rushed for [-] miles and sent to Hezhou. I handed it to the captain of Hezhou in person and asked him to secretly surround the Duan family first. Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment The trial officials will be on the road immediately, you will escort them personally and transfer the East Palace guards, and then the three parties will interrogate the Duan family in Hezhou together."

Eunuch Zhao took it and immediately placed it close to his body. He responded and quickly went down to prepare.

Doubts flashed in Yiman's eyes, "Brother Huang, there is no news from the Duan family in the capital. Although the Duan family in Hezhou has a large number of people, they must not dare to rebel. Why is Brother Huang so nervous?"

The prince stood up and sat across from Yiman, "Yiman——"

"Your Highness, the students and the people are making trouble."

Yiman looked at Han Yan who was rushing over and frowned, "What's the fuss about?"

The prince seemed to have expected it, and responded, waving Han Yan to retreat.

Pouring a cup of tea for Yiman, the prince said with a worried look on his eyebrows, "Yiman, do you know what a noble family is?"

Yiman gradually had a bad premonition in his heart, and his expression became serious, "People from aristocratic families have been officials for generations, with big surnames and big families. Accumulated over many generations, they not only have wealth that can rival the country, but also have the power to control the court." The prince nodded. The head said, "Exactly, because it is a big family with a big surname, so whether you are looking downwards or upwards, you can basically rely on relationships. This is related to the origin of Daling's clan. Do you know the people and students outside What are you all making a fuss about?"

These students and common people were controlled by her a few days ago, controlled by the coins on the ground. Today, Yiman really didn't know why they turned against her.

If it was for the sake of the Duan family, the Duan family would do all kinds of evil, and people and gods would be outraged. To overthrow the Duan family, it should be a matter of united efforts.

Yiman shook his head slightly, and the prince continued: "The common people and scholars outside are asking Dali Temple to release the people. There are also some petty officials in the capital who are jointly submitting letters or writing memorials, accusing Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment of arbitrary arrests. Man, forged evidence. There is also someone to sue you."

"I?"

"The people you arranged to spread the news must have been caught. But it doesn't matter, I have already sent someone to Zhongshu's door to take the discount."

"Then the emperor——"

"My father may not know that someone has withheld the discount, but the discount you are suing for at this time is not important, so my father will not care."

Yiman didn't expect that the usually kind-hearted imperial brother would be so bold as to directly seize the memorial.

"Why are the people and students making trouble?"

The prince stood up and looked at the busy officials of the East Palace outside. "The family can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and this does not include disciples and disciples. When one person's interests are touched, more than a dozen people will be involved, and these dozen people will be involved." Spreading out, there are hundreds of people - many scholars in Beijing are related to the Duan family, and so are the common people.

You just let the people see the evil things done by the Duan family, but you did not give enough benefits, and these diseases have happened to most people.Therefore, what you cannot give, the Duan family gives. Human nature is good, but because of the evil world.The people making trouble outside today don't care about the blood under their feet, as long as they can climb up. "

Yiman was stunned for a while, then smiled to himself, "I see."

Human nature is inherently evil, but she thought too simply, thinking she could cover the sky with one hand.

The prince turned to look at Yiman and said in a soft voice, "Yiman, you have to remember that every small move of a person in a high position can be a big deal to the people. Therefore, you must be cautious in your actions."

Yiman stood up and lowered his head slightly, "I remember."

Yiman looked out the window at the East Palace guards getting ready and setting off in the distance, "Brother Emperor, are you going to force the Duan family in Hezhou to rebel?"

The prince nodded appreciatively, "Others will only think that I want to control the situation. How did you think of that?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and said, "First, let your confidants surround the Duan family in Hezhou and put pressure on the Duan family. The emperor's letter must have mentioned other ways to put pressure. Then let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, together with the officials from the East Palace, Go to investigate the case.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's brother was not wrong in supervising the case, but the Duan family had a guilty conscience and would not think so. In addition, Dali Temple had previously arrested all direct descendants of the Duan family.The Duan family in Hezhou will inevitably be frightened and uneasy, and they are most likely to do wrong things when their mood is unstable.

Once the Duan family in Hezhou shows signs of rebellion, the people from the East Palace and the Duwei Mansion can immediately cooperate with the surrounding troops to suppress and exterminate them.

Everything in the capital will be overturned in an instant, and the strength of the Duan family will be greatly reduced. Not only will Duan Ruhai be unable to protect him, but many forces in the capital will beat up the fallen dog, and everything will be easily solved - surround Wei and save Zhao. "

There was a faint smile in the prince's eyes, "Manman's analysis is right."

"If the Duan family in Hezhou can see clearly, there is no harm in being a coward. The Duan family in Hezhou cannot stand the investigation. As long as people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment investigate, they will not dare to hide those heinous crimes. There are guards from the East Palace. With the sudden toughness of everyone in the Duwei Mansion, the Duan family did not dare to kill dozens of officials who went to Hezhou to investigate the case in the street."
