However, after the restoration of Emperor Yingzong, his good attitude towards the clan immediately changed.

He hit it off with the Ministry of Rites and found a random reason - there had never been a precedent for a general to assist a country to become a county king.

I sent it to Zhu Junqun.

That's all, after all, the reason makes sense.

But the problem is that the subsequent Emperor Xiaozong didn't remember this at all.

He successively ennobled the auxiliary generals of Ning Fan and Han Fan as King of Shicheng, King of Leping and King of Le'an.

If a bowl of water is not balanced, you have not done any superficial work, right?

Is this good enough?

Zhu Junqun was naturally dissatisfied, and continued to appeal for more than ten years. With fierce words and an angry tone, he asked to inherit the throne, otherwise he would not accept it.

For this reason, many princes from the Prince of Chu's palace were invited to help him stand up and comfort Xiaozong.

In the end, Xiaozong became impatient and gave another reason - his nephew could not inherit the throne.

The dispute was finally over.

But the matter is over, but the resentment may have been planted at this time.

In the cellar of Prince Yueyang's Mansion, there is a strange ritual that has been pierced by emperors' straw men for generations, and they don't know how resentful they are.

In short, the evidence is simple and the motive is clear.

Wu Jinghe didn't ask who the "some people" instigation was referring to.

Immediately asked with concern: "Then the serious crime of treason committed by everyone in the Yueyang Prince's Palace is the evidence of the crime conclusive?"

Hai Rui and Li Zaiting looked at each other, and the latter answered with a question: "How will the Prince Consort plan to deal with it?"

Your Majesty called this Zongzheng to deal with the clans involved.

Naturally, this is why Zongzheng came - he is nearing the end of his life and has no heirs, so it is naturally much more suitable for him to be dealt with by talented ministers than the two emperors.

Wu Jinghe had already prepared a plan and immediately stood up: "I will go to Yueyang immediately to deal with the Yueyang Prince's Mansion."

He was about to turn around and leave, but stopped again.

He turned around and explained in advance: "According to what I said before leaving, those who are above the rank of lieutenant of the auxiliary state, lieutenant of the state of Zhenguo, etc. do not need to submit a memorial, they will be sentenced to death directly."

"From now on, Lieutenant Fengguo, as well as the commanders, county commanders, township commanders, etc., will no longer execute Lien."

"The property of the royal estate, I will temporarily turn it into an imperial estate, an imperial property."

In the early days of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal system was established. The princes and princes were awarded the title of general of the country, the grandchildren were awarded the title of the general of the auxiliary country, and the great-grandson was awarded the title of the general of the country.

The Yueyang Prince's palace has experienced many generations of glory, glory, and heroism, but it has fallen to the rank of general of Fengguo. There are not even many lieutenants of Zhenguo. They can be counted on two hands.

Those further down the line who have not been awarded the title of general are the unpopular collateral lines.

Letting a horse go is also a sign of your majesty's good health.

Of course, the specific disposition also depends on whether there is any involvement in the case.

Hai Rui and Li Zaiting understood that Wu Jinghe was just talking to each other and not discussing with them.

He nodded and did not express his position.

Li Zaiting was thoughtful.

It was not to take back the farm or property, which was expected - after all, Sun Long, as the eunuch and eunuch in charge of ceremonies, could not have followed Baba just to serve them tea and water.

But the sentence "Don't kill them"... He had some vague guesses in his mind that the Holy One might not just be a favor to these partial clan clans by exonerating them and leaving a way for them to survive.

Hai Rui didn't think too much and nodded casually: "The Prince Consort will take care of himself."

With that said, these files of the Yueyang Prince's Mansion, signed with the seal of the Chasi Yamen and signed by the imperial envoys, were sent to Wu Jinghe.

Wu Jinghe did not interrupt their conversation anymore, took the file, turned around and walked out the door.

Hai Rui and the two men saw the gift and watched it go.

After a long while, Wu Jing and his back disappeared, and the two of them looked away.

Li Zaiting couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Duke Cheng and Prince Consort Wu were really brave.

At present, there are only one or two royal palaces, but Huguang has more than that.

In the eighth year of Jiajing reign, there were 587 titled clan members in Huguang. Now, more than 40 years later, the number has increased to more than 2,000.

According to what the emperor said, if someone above the rank of general is given a title and those involved in rebellion are punished with death, then nearly 300 people may have to be killed!

I'm afraid the two people who committed such a crime will not end well.

Well, yes, there are indeed so many clans involved in the case!

Except for Prince Rong’s Mansion, which knows nothing about it, almost all the vassals of Chu, Min, Xiang, Jing, and Ji were involved in it to one degree or another!

Just as Li Zaiting was thinking about it, Hai Rui's voice brought him back to consciousness: "I just mentioned the matter of Sansi, so I'm going to trouble Ying Feng."

This was something the two of them discussed before Wu Jinghe came.

The former came to his senses and responded immediately: "Mr. Qiongshan made serious remarks. This is my duty."

He looked a little solemn and sighed: "I just didn't expect Huguang to be so corrupt."

Last month, he followed the clues and manpower given by Zhao Xian and went to Tusi.

He used silver rewards to clear the way for the local barbarians, and finally captured a group of private traders and intercepted a group of soldiers.

After tracing all the way, it is needless to say that it is related to the clan. It turns out that most of the local officials in Huguang are also involved.

Especially the Commander-in-Chief!

They would even scrape off the inscriptions on the armor issued by the imperial court and sell it to the barbarians.

No wonder Wang Daokun said last year that there are endless bandits in Huguang!

Hai Rui glanced at him for a long time and then said seriously: "I'm just selling iron weapons and armor to the barbarians."

"When Ying Feng has the opportunity to go to Sanjin and take a look at the southeast, he will understand what it means for a family of officials and bandits to be sick to the bone."

Li Zaiting said nothing.

During this trip to Huguang, I learned a lot.

Just at this moment, a eunuch walked into the court and said softly: "Li is in trouble, Hai Yushi, a sneaky man came to the front yard. He didn't tell his identity, he just said that he had an appointment with Hai Yushi.

"

Li Zaiting tilted his head in confusion.

Hai Rui waved his hand for the eunuch to go down first and closed the file he had just messed with.

Only then did he raise his head to meet Li Zaiting's gaze: "It's the Prince of Wugang, who said he had important clues to reveal."

"Ying Feng, do you want to go and meet him together?"

Li Zaiting pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "What you wish for."

He paused and asked curiously: "What does this prince want to expose?"

Hai Rui's usually solemn face couldn't help but reveal a strange look: "He said that he wanted to expose the fact that his great uncle Zhu Xianzhen, King of Dong'an, ordered Zhu Yingyan to kill Zhang Chucheng, and then conspired to assassinate Zhu Yingyan."
