The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 542

"Sun Aiqing might as well explain it in detail."

Tianyou was worried that no one would speak, so when he saw Tongren Sun standing up, he quickly stared at him.

"Those families that were investigated, the ancestors made great contributions. However, the descendants of the next generation are mostly unscrupulous people and do many illegal things. They and the San Francisco were originally a group of people, and the San Francisco justified them for them. , it seems that they must have colluded in the past, and they should be the same as the San Francisco, in order to conspire against the same theory."

"My minister agrees."

Jia Yucun stood up.

"Oh, Jia Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

"I believe that those families are in collusion with the San Francisco. Now that the San Francisco is rebelling, in order to prevent them from serving as internal agents, those who have already been imprisoned should be executed as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. At the same time, this is a warning to others, so that people dare not follow their actions. .”

Seeing what Jia Yucun said, Shi Guangzhu also left work.

"My minister agrees."

Shi Guangzhu is the grandson of Shan Guogong, who was originally the minister of the Ministry of Rites.A few days ago, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites asked for the bones, and the emperor agreed, so he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"What else does Shi Shangshu have to say?"

"San Francisco slanders and kills Zhongliang. One is to buy people's hearts. They want to buy the remnants of those families and become their accomplices. Therefore, those families must be wiped out as soon as possible."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Tianyou looked around and saw that no one came out to object, so he sat up straight.

"Since no one has any objections, Sun Aiqing and Jia Aiqing, let's cut them all in half."

"The minister obeys the order."

The morning court discussed for another half an hour, and finally the court dispersed.

After the court disbanded, the ministers discovered that this morning court had not resolved any other issues except for those families who had agreed to beheaded and seized.

Nor is there any solution proposed for the all-important threat to San Francisco.

The ministers left one after another, but Prince Zhongshun stayed behind.After being notified by the eunuch, he met the emperor.

"Prince Zhongshun is anxious to see me, what is the reason?"

"What does the emperor think of the ministers?"

Tianyou was silent.

He naturally understood the thoughts of the ministers.

He is also clear about the current situation.

"Everyone is a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place, hypocrisy and deceit, many people are afraid that San Francisco will come earlier."

"Your majesty is wise, and I also think that these people cannot be trusted or relied on. Please also ask your majesty to observe clearly."

"They are certainly unreliable, but who is reliable? All of them are now planning to save their own worth and life, and who else will die in allegiance?"

"Therefore, it is better for the emperor to make plans early."

"What else are you going to do? I'm afraid it's too late now."

"Your majesty must not be discouraged. How can I easily let people have my century-old foundation?"

"Prince Zhongshun has some tricks?"

Tianyou seems to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"According to the exact information I got, Li Yuan's so-called military training in the past few years is purely nonsense. The so-called 50 soldiers and horses are the collusion between the Ministry of War and the local government, just to deceive the army's salary. Shui Rong's previous inspections should be true."

"The divisions of diligent kings everywhere are also chasing after the wind. If they could come, they would have come long ago. Not to mention that there are not many soldiers and horses, even if there are, they are full of lax military discipline and it is difficult to go into battle. Even if they come, they are not the elite divisions of San Francisco. opponent."

"Now it seems that the only ones in the world who can fight against the San Francisco are Jia Min's army regiment and some elites from the northwest frontier."

"what do you mean……."

"Jia Min's army regiment has long been disbanded, and this time they turned against the Jia family. With the matter of Wang Ziteng and Jia Guifei, it is no longer possible for the Jia family to help our family. At this time, the only thing we can rely on is Northwest China. Teacher."

"What if the division from the Northwest doesn't come?"

"If they don't come, we can go there."

"You mean, give up the imperial capital and go to the northwest?"

"Just avoiding the edge for the time being and moving the capital to Chang'an. The emperor is still young, and he will come there in the future. He will try his best and work hard. It won't take long for him to make a comeback, regain the world, and rebuild the prosperous world. He will become the master of ZTE."

"Give up the imperial capital just like this, I'm afraid I will disappoint the people of the world, and it will be in vain for those traitors."

"Now San Francisco is still far away from the imperial capital, and we won't be able to arrive here in a while. There is no need to rush to leave. We just need to send reliable people to the northwest first, and make arrangements there in advance. When it is critical, we can retreat to the northwest. "

"It's just who to send to the northwest?"

"If the emperor can trust you, I will do my best."

"That's fine, after all, your family is reliable, so you should take a step first and prepare for the way back there."

"I am willing to serve the emperor, but..."

"Is there any difficulty?"

"Nowadays, people's hearts are fluctuating. If we go to the northwest, I'm afraid it will cost some money to clean up the people's hearts there. This..."

"Now there is no silver in the official treasury."

There is no silver in the official treasury, but there is a lot of silver in your palace treasury.If you don't take it out at this time, when will you have to wait?

"Without money, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. There is really no other way, so we have no choice but to fight to the death with the rebels in San Francisco. At worst, we will die together."

"Well, what about this, this matter has to be discussed in the long term, and you should not die lightly. What I mean is that the people of the clan can give more money. When the rivers and mountains are restored, I will never treat you badly."

At this time, you still ask us to pay for you?

"It was supposed to go to the country together, but these people don't have much silver taels in their hands, so it's just a drop in the bucket. However, I still have 5 taels here, so I took it out first, and then I will do my best when I arrive in the northwest. "

"What can you do with 5 taels? Well, let's do it this way. I will contribute another 20 taels, and each family will contribute 2 taels. You will go to the northwest first and prepare for the road ahead."

"The emperor is sage, and I will do my best."

As soon as Prince Zhongshun left the palace, Princess Yongning greeted him.

"What did that idiot say?"

The fool in Yongning's mouth refers to God Bless the Emperor.

"Hey, I don't give up my money. It's only 20 taels."

"20 taels, that's a lot. Should we keep it for ourselves, or give some to others?"

"To others? To whom? Nobody."

"Then what about the layout of the northwest? If the emperor goes there in the future, won't it be revealed?"

"Where are you going? Can he still go there? It would be nice to get out of the imperial capital."

"What about the other clans?"

"I can't control others at this time, so take care of yourself. You go back and make secret preparations. Tomorrow, you will go to the palace to get the silver, and we will leave the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"Oh, Tianyou is probably really a lonely person now."

"Hey, who is to blame for this? He has always been ruthless, but now that the building is about to collapse, who would want to be buried with him?"

"Just now I saw Hou Xiaolian and Shi Guangzhu went to Dashilan."

"Nowadays, it's all about personal care, and the two of them are not good birds, and I'm afraid they are also busy with their own careers. Let's go, leave them alone. What's going on with Yongchang's son-in-law?"

"According to the servants of his family, he sent all the valuables at home to the dam. It was faster than us. Now every family is secretly transferring property, only Chang'an is indifferent, and he is still training hard there. Woolen cloth."

"Chang'an is pretty good, but what's the use of her alone? Sigh, let's go."

Although Princess Yongning is a prodigal, she and Chang'an are out-and-out friends.

After returning home, others will naturally take care of all matters related to evacuating the imperial capital and going to the northwest.Thinking about leaving the imperial capital from now on, when and whether I can come back in the future, I feel a little miserable in my heart.

Remembering that everyone else is preparing for the future, only Chang'an is still training soldiers, and seems to have the intention of fighting San Francisco to the death, so I can't help worrying about Chang'an.

After summing up for a while, he took two followers and headed to the Xishan camp.

When I got there, I saw Chang'an training soldiers on the school field.

Seeing Yongning coming, Changan led her into the house.

"Long time no see, why did you remember coming to my place today?"

For Yongning's sudden arrival, Chang'an also felt a little strange.

Even though he was in Xishan, Chang'an was aware of the situation in the imperial capital.In Chang'an's impression, Yongning should have escaped at this time.

"I'm going to say goodbye to you."

"Oh, you're leaving too. Well, let's all go."

Chang An stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.

"Chang'an, you can go too. It's useless to stay here. Don't you understand the current situation? They are all planning for themselves, who else will work hard for the royal family?"

"Where are you going? Where is it different?"

"You go to the northwest with us, where will you have a chance to make a comeback?"

"A comeback?"

Chang An smiled wryly.

"In such a good situation, half of the country has been lost. Even in a corner in the northwest, how can we talk about a comeback? Whoever wants to go will go, I swear to live and die with the imperial capital."

"If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. If you don't change the green hills, the green waters will flow forever. Don't be like that Jia Min who insists on going your own way, and you will be the one who suffers in the end."

"Like Jia Min? It would be great if I could really be like him. If the ministers of the court, half of them could be like Jia Min, and it wouldn't be so out of hand."

"However, Jia Min is with San Francisco after all, and now San Francisco is complaining about him."

"San Francisco, there are people who believe it? Jia Min has never had any contact with San Francisco. On the contrary, he told me a few years ago that San Francisco will be rebellious. Han Tiankui once wanted to buy it from the Ross people. [-] muskets, this is also what Jia Min told me. It's a pity, Father didn't believe it at the beginning."

"You mean, San Francisco has ulterior motives for saying this?"

"San Francisco did this, one is to provoke the relationship between my family and the Jia family, and the other is to take this opportunity to win over Jia Min. Therefore, if you want to leave, go to Beihai. Even if you go to Bukui, you will be safer. As for the Northwest, I advise you not to go."

"I heard that Jia Min is in Beihai. I used to have a lot of trouble with him. How can he tolerate me when we get there?"

"Yongning, you don't know Jia Min too well. Forget it, I've told you what to say. It's up to you whether you listen or not."

The two didn't talk to each other, and after staying for a while, Yongning left.

"Your Highness, San Francisco really wants to win over Chief Min?"

Lichun asked.

"When the [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp arrived in the south, San Francisco immediately withdrew back to the southwest. When Prince Teng was stationed in Jiujiang, the San Francisco did not dare to act rashly. There is no other reason, but the fear of the Beijing camp."

"In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the only ones that San Francisco really feared were Wang Ziteng and Jia Min. Once Wang Ziteng died, his chief generals He Jialin and Luo Xingshan resigned, and the capital was disbanded. It no longer exists."

"Jia Min was squeezed out, the government corps was abolished, and Chief Min went away to Beihai. Now San Francisco is afraid of only Chief Min. Now the banner of revenge for Prince Teng and Concubine Jia is played, naturally to restrain Chief Min. It's hands and feet."

"Then what will Chief Min do?"

"Yes, what will Chief Min do?"

Chang An looked out the window, lost in thought.
