Chapter 856 Please enter the urn
Just after the first month, under the thunderous action of Ji Rongheng and Li Ce, the case of the disappearance of the Mu family's land in Dangyang City was quickly found out.
Confiscating 2.3 million taels of silver from the secret treasury of the Mu Mansion, gold and various treasures equivalent to about 700,000 taels of silver, 230,000 mu of land reclaimed by the army, using combined household registration, hidden population, and age Occupying nearly one million mu of people's land, making about 100,000 people in the entire Dangyang County reduced to a part of the Mu Mansion.
The county government officials involved in this case, apart from the prefect Sun You, Sun Li and his son, there are more than 50 county magistrates, county magistrates, and field grain officials in each county.
Dangyang City, the capital of Tanzhou, once again became the focus of the state's attention overnight.
The news spread to the state capital, making Ji Huaizhang very angry.
On this day, he took the report of the case sent by Ji Rongheng, and looked at the crimes of Sun You, Sun Li and his son. It was more than ten pages long, and it seemed to be too much to write.
The anger in his heart has nowhere to vent, looking at the exotic flowers and plants and the noisy pets all over the room, he seems to have lost the elegance to appreciate it at this moment, and he will be punched and kicked when he walks forward.
Not long after, the room was full of mess, almost scolding Sun Youzu completely.
Hearing the wind in the courtyard, Sun Xiaoniang, accompanied by Ji Wanying, hurried over with her maid.
Seeing that graceful figure appearing in front of him, every frown and smile exudes a charming flavor, which makes Ji Huaizhang's hatred disappear instantly.
"The concubine is guilty. My brother and nephew failed the lord. I have committed countless crimes over the years. I have no face to face the lord again. I only want to die to repay the kindness of the lord and mistress over the years."
Ms. Sun knelt down earnestly, her eyes were already full of tears when she raised her eyes.
Although the 30th year has passed, the tight waist and beautiful face still have charm, and this lovely and pitiful expression makes people feel pity at first sight.
"I can't blame you for this."
Seeing her crying pear blossoms with rain, Ji Huaizhang's whole heart almost melted, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with utmost tenderness and concern: "Tang'er, no matter what happens, I will never wrong you, and I will never wrong you." I won't take my anger out on you because of your younger brother."
Sun Haitang lay in his arms and wept bitterly: "My mother passed away early, my father entrusted my younger brother to me before he died, and I was sympathetic to the lord, monarch, and mother. The concubine has pampered him all these years. I am afraid that he will be wronged and hurt. It is all the fault of my concubine that he has fallen into such a state today, and now he and his nephew cannot escape the guilt, and my concubine is in great grief, neither wanting to embarrass the lord, nor bear the pain of being separated, so I implore the lord to grant my concubine a death, It has fully fulfilled the lord's reputation of maintaining the court's laws and regulations."
"What are you talking about, how can I have the heart to let you die."
Ji Huaizhang felt even more distressed: "Besides, our Wentong has just turned ten years old, and Wenhua has not yet reached the age of Ji, how can we lose our mother."
"But now there are rumors everywhere in the city, saying that His Majesty will embarrass the Lord, and I even heard some rumors that His Majesty is already dispatching troops, and I don't want to involve the Lord because of my younger brother."
Sun Haitang was still crying and said: "Only by punishing my Sun's family can I show my lord's determination to be loyal and fulfill my lord's reputation."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Ji Huaizhang was a little depressed, with mixed feelings in his heart.
His little mother was originally a noble girl, but because her family was in trouble, and she devoted herself to her, she followed her for more than ten years without a name, how could I bear to make her cry again.
Suddenly began to develop a protective heart towards Sun You and Sun Li and his son.
After thinking about it carefully, although I have not made much achievements in my tenure these years, I have been involved in dealing with the court for the court between King Qinghe and the Xungui family. There is no merit but hard work. Now the new emperor wants to embarrass the Ji family because of some rumors. It's chilling to think about facing yourself with swords and swords.
Looking meaningfully at Ji Wanying who was sitting quietly and straight, Ji Huaizhang resolutely said after learning from the pain, "Wanying, you can stay at the house to spend more time with your Aunt Sun, and I will go to the post to see you." Brother Heng, you don't have to go back to Dangyang City in the days to come."
Received by Ji Huaizhang, Ji Wanying replied obediently: "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of Aunt Sun."
Watching Ji Huaizhang leave in a hurry, Sun Haitang suddenly turned his face, wiped away the tears on his face, looked at the mess all over the floor, and rebuked the servants in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and clean up the house."
"Uncle, too, it's okay to get angry with these flowers and plants."
Ji Wanying stared deeply at Sun Haitang: "This is his lifeblood. If he doesn't have these exotic flowers and plants for his company, how will he live in the future?"
These words immediately reminded Sun Haitang.
He controls the family affairs of the Jifu, and even intervenes in the government affairs of the state government, relying on the lifeblood of the lord. If he changes his ambition, he may not be able to live a good life in the future.
So, he quickly ordered to the servants: "Trust someone to buy some more. The birds and animals in the western regions, and the exotic flowers and plants in the southern borders, the scarce flowers in Tanzhou City can't be stingy no matter how much money they have."
Waiting for the servants to disperse, Ji Wanying asked with great interest: "Auntie wants to save the lives of the uncle and cousin of the Sun family, and now there is no hope but to fight to the death, but my uncle seems to have no such thing If he still can't make up his mind, what should Auntie do?"
"He won't, I have a way."
Sun Haitang smiled darkly and said: "The queen is in Dangyang City right now, as long as I manage to get rid of the queen, my lord will have no way out."
"In this way, the imperial army is overwhelming, and my uncle has no chance of winning."
Ji Wanying reminded: "According to the information I learned when my mother was alive, the Ji family in Qinghe Sanzhou can command more than 500,000 troops, but now that the Mu family has fallen, the capital of Danzhou has fallen into the hands of the imperial court. Not only the power of the Mu family collapsed, but even the barrier of Tanzhou was lost. If the aunt harmed the queen again, it would be tantamount to completely breaking with the court. My brother the emperor regarded her as his life. Da Sima accompanied him, and secretly sent guards from the Xiaoqi Battalion, I don't know how many forces are hidden behind this."
Thinking that the Mu family's power was easily destroyed by the queen, Sun Haitang became very angry.
What made her even more depressed was that the queen actually teased the entire Tanzhou officials, saying that she was continuing to travel west, but in fact she hid in Tanzhou City to search for evidence, and her stupid brother and nephew foolishly took the bait.
"Sun Huai is a scum, he really failed to succeed and failed. If he hadn't recommended this business, how could my brother have ended up like this? I heard that the queen forgave him generously. I must tear this guy apart. Just relieve the hatred in your heart."
Sun Haitang clenched her fists and rubbed her hands angrily.
"Right now, Sun Huai is insignificant, so Auntie should think about how to help uncle make a decision."
Ji Wanying frowned and said: "Auntie knows that not all of the trilogy under Qinghe Xungui's family are loyal to uncle. Once the news of Dangyang City spreads, I'm afraid there will be more troubles. .”
"Wanying's words are justified, and it should be done earlier while the nobles can still control the trilogy in their hands."
Sun Haitang no longer obsessed over trivial matters, and hurriedly asked, "What's Wanying's opinion?"
"I have a safe solution."
Ji Wanying sneered sinisterly: "In addition to ulterior motives, my queen's sister-in-law can also show off the magic tricks and treat people's diseases. The late emperor died after listening to her persuasion to stop taking the elixir. Isn't my aunt sick now? You can ask the queen's sister-in-law to come to the house to visit her aunt, and she will be detained in the city.
The concubine's control of the empress is equivalent to control of the emperor's elder brother. Let the uncle go eastward under the name of the Qing emperor. With the empress in hand, let alone the preservation of the uncle of the Sun family, even if the entire Ji family has power over the world. It is also within your reach. "
"It's a good idea, but I'm worried that the queen won't come to Tanzhou."
Although Sun Haitang agreed with her method, she felt in her heart that the possibility of this method being realized was relatively small.
"Auntie is worrying too much."
Ji Wanying smiled meekly and said: "My aunt doesn't understand my empress's sister-in-law. She claims to be very intelligent and likes to meddle in other people's business. She wants to make everyone in the world appreciate her kindness. So I persuaded the emperor's brother to send troops to conquer, why bother to go through so much trouble, although the imperial court has quelled the rebellion everywhere, but in fact it is still internal and external troubles,
The emperor's brother is very happy and likes to fight, but our women's minds are similar. Even if she is now a queen, she still wants to live a peaceful life. Who wants to see the war unless it is a last resort, so I am sure she will come . "
After receiving this detailed analysis, Sun Haitang immediately agreed with her proposal: "Okay, then let's do this, and invite you into the urn."
