Chapter 267: Not avenging a grudge is not a gentleman
"Ah?" Ding Quan and Yang Shaolin were dumbfounded.
What is the difference between confiscating all the property and confiscating the property?
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. All the family property has been confiscated. Where can the whole family live?" Ding Quan begged hurriedly.
After all, he is also an official of the imperial court. He can't live on the streets with his family of more than 100 people, right?
"Don't worry, I don't want your mansion. Except for the mansion which is still yours, the rest of the property will be confiscated." Zhu Song said lightly.
Ever since he attended the Haoyue Auction last time, Zhu Song had a deep understanding of how wealthy the dignitaries in Wudu City really were.
Nowadays, the Daqian treasury is empty. Although the tax revenue for the year has just been collected, it was quickly used up.
Zhu Song has long wanted to take advantage of these princes and ministers, so this time he will take advantage of Ding Quan and Yang Shaolin!
As the saying goes, if you want your subjects to die, they will have to die. Seeing that Zhu Song said so, what else could Ding Quan say?
Being able to save Ding Oulong's life and keep the whole family from living on the streets is already a blessing among misfortunes.
Thinking of this, Ding Quan and Yang Shaolin had no choice but to kowtow to express gratitude and left the imperial study with sad expressions on their faces.
After the two left, Zhu Song quickly called Feng Yulou in and asked, "How are things going in Beizhou?"
"To report to the Emperor, Wang Zhong, the Minister of War, has personally brought people there. I believe that in the near future we will be able to recruit all the 100,000 men secretly recruited by Beizhou Mu Li Songlin." Feng Yulou said truthfully.
Zhu Song nodded. Just as Chang Sunxiao said, Beizhou Shepherd Li Songlin was indeed Zhu Song's serious concern. Zhu Song also deliberately got rid of him this time.
Li Songlin secretly recruited strong men in the name of renovating the city, and each move cost him 100,000. This can definitely be used to accuse him of treason.
In Daqian, rebellion would involve the nine clans, so Zhu Song was extremely merciful by only killing him.
"What's the reaction of that little beast, Prince?" Zhu Song continued to ask.
Whenever the prince Zhu Song was mentioned, he became very angry. The reason why Li Songlin was so bold was entirely because of the prince's instigation.
If it weren't for the fact that the prince was his own son, Zhu Song would have wanted to chop this unworthy thing in half with a knife.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the East Palace immediately after seeing Changsun Xiao. He didn't have any special reaction." Feng Yulou replied.
"He's a smart guy," Zhu Song said coldly.
Zhu Song killed Li Songlin just to give the prince a warning. The wisest choice for the prince was to pretend not to know about it and behave honestly.
If the prince has any evil intentions, then Zhu Song must consider deposing him as prince.
"Inform King Pingnan, doesn't he want to recruit more soldiers? When Wang Zhong comes back, let him bring the 100,000 strong men from Beizhou back to Yunzhou to join the Yunzhou army!" Zhu Song thought for a while and said.
Although he said he didn't want to see King Pingnan, Zhu Song still thought about his younger brother at the critical moment.
Moreover, after this incident, Zhu Song also believed that King Pingnan had no intention of rebelling. Seeing that the barbarians were about to surrender to Da Gan, if Yunzhou's troops were insufficient, how could it deter the barbarians?
"Your Majesty, I am going to inform King Pingnan right now." Feng Yulou nodded, turned around and left.
But when he reached the door, Feng Yulou stepped back again.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. After thinking about it, I still think I should tell you. The third prince..."
Feng Yulou did not hide anything and immediately revealed the fact that the third prince Zhu An was married.
It turned out that Concubine Liu was not just talking about letting Zhu An marry Xiaoyu, and she made arrangements for their marriage the next day.
The wedding was held in Cining Palace, and no outsiders came to attend the whole process. After Zhu An and Xiaoyu simply bowed down, the marriage was considered consummated.
Zhu Song was more or less surprised when he heard that the third prince actually got married, and that he was marrying a palace maid.
You must know that the prince's wedding is very complicated, and the person he marries must also be a noble woman with a distinguished background.
It was the first time in Daqian that Zhu An was so careless and married a palace maid.
But Zhu Song soon understood what Liu Guifei was thinking. He wanted Zhu An to completely calm down and no longer be fooled by the beauties outside.
"The third prince is still a prince no matter what. His Majesty did not let His Majesty know about such a big event. This is somewhat inappropriate!" Feng Yulou said with his head lowered.
To put it bluntly, this broke the rules of the palace and made the emperor Zhu Song lose face.
"Humph, the mother and son are blaming me for not caring about them before and are deliberately trying to make me angry!" Zhu Song said with a wry smile.
As Zhu Song said, Zhu Song almost killed Zhu An this time, and Concubine Liu no longer cared what Zhu Song thought.
Anyway, Zhu Song has never cared about the life and death of the two of them, and he won't care whether Zhu Ancheng gets married or not.
Of course, Concubine Liu was also angry with Zhu Song.
But Zhu Song didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Anyway, it's my son who is getting married, so I'll pick out a few decent gifts to send, including some silks, satins and jewelry. As for the silver, don't give me any money." Not short of this little money.”
Zhu An was the first of the four princes to get married. Although he was not informed of his father, he was still very happy in his heart.
"According to the decree."
Feng Yulou glanced at Zhu Song in surprise. Except when facing Princess Jianyang, this was the first time for Zhu Song to show such a fatherly smile to another prince.
…
prison of the Ministry of punishment
Yu Hao was hanging on the cell door like a sloth, looking at Chang Sunlang and the other three people opposite him with amusement.
The three of them had been beaten many times since they were arrested and taken to the Criminal Department. Officers and soldiers would come in and beat them up almost every once in a while.
"Yu Hao, your uncle, you are done as long as you want. Even if you want to avenge a public vendetta, you can't do this, right?" Changsun Lang covered his face that had been beaten into a pig's head and cursed angrily.
Ding Oulong on the side was already unconscious, and even Yang Yan, who had been beaten the least, was covered in injuries and lay on the ground wailing.
"With any of your eyes, you saw that I asked someone to beat you. It's obviously because you are a bad person in daily life. I just came to beat you because you were unhappy." Yu Hao laughed.
"You fart, you are still quibbling, I just saw you giving money to those officers and soldiers!" Changsun Lang said angrily.
He really couldn't understand why Yu Hao still had money on him when he was already in jail.
You must know that the money on his body had been searched by the officers and soldiers before he came in. At this time, he was penniless and could not bribe the officers and soldiers with money.
Seeing that Sun Lang had exposed him, Yu Hao stopped pretending and said directly: "That's right, I paid them to beat you. Why, it's not good, so you're going to beat me too?"
It was Zhang Sunxiao who brought Yu Hao to prison.
