Ending

Looking back on what the Han family had done over the years, he realized that they had drifted away from other aristocratic families without even realizing it.

Think about it, the person in charge of the small capital in front of him looked down upon Emperor Hongwen so much.

How will they treat people from other aristocratic families?

Don’t blame others for not speaking up for them.

"Clan leader, this is not."

"It's not what? Huh, I think your life is just too good."

"To make you lose all sense of awe, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Dongzhou?"

"If you don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Dongzhou, you should know how many people there are in our Han family, right?"

The person in charge on the opposite side lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

"Not to mention dispatching all the troops, just dispatching troops to any place can destroy our Han family in an instant."

"What right do you have to look down on the royal family? What right do you have to think that the Han family can ignore everything in Dongzhou?"

He scolded him happily, but he forgot that the people who really caused the family members to have such a mentality were the senior members of the family.

Especially himself, in the past few years, he had suppressed Emperor Hongwen a lot.

Over time, it naturally gave family members a misconception.

"How did you go about investigating the matter you were asked to investigate?"

After scolding him, he remembered that this incident suddenly broke out, and someone must have done it deliberately.

"The investigation has made it clear that Princess Wanfu is behind this."

Hearing this, Chief Han frowned and continued to ask, "Are you sure it's her?"

"Yes, she didn't hide it deliberately. It can be easily investigated."

Patriarch Han was silent again.

She also knew in her heart that Princess Wanfu had probably figured out what happened to Xirong, so she dealt with them so openly.

This is a warning and also her revenge.

"Idiot, waste, can't handle even the smallest thing."

Patriarch Han couldn't help scolding those idiots in Xirong.

At the same time, I also felt a little regretful. How could it have taken me so long to come up with such a crooked trick?

Now, not to mention the benefits, I have to pay a lot of losses.

As for the Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang, he had already understood it clearly. Even if they would come to Dongzhou to seek peace and marriage according to his own ideas, it would be impossible to get Lu Yaoyao from them.

This time I really lost my wife and lost my troops.

"Patriarch, this Princess Wanfu is really abominable. I think we must teach her a lesson."

Hearing this, Chief Han glanced up at him and sneered.

"Lesson, how to give a lesson?"

"Blood Soul Tower."

The person in charge lowered his voice.

"Huh, idiot, do you think Emperor Hongwen hasn't thought that we will take revenge on her?"

Being scolded again, the person in charge did not dare to speak.

"Okay, let's put her matter aside for now. Even if we want to take action at this stage, the chance of success will not be very high. Let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity."

"The top priority now is to get all our people out first. If we all get in, it will be a huge blow to my Han family."

The person in charge nodded.

"Chief, what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"What else can it mean? It's just that you want to get some benefits from us."

Hearing this, the person in charge frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle this time."

"I heard news earlier that many children from poor families and small aristocratic families are coming to the capital one after another."

"Huh? What are they doing in the capital?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that it seems to be to take over the positions of those of us."

As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Han's expression changed drastically.

"Is the news true?"

"It is true that a lot of people have come recently. As for whether it is really the person who is going to replace us, it is not clear yet. I have asked people to investigate, but there is no strong evidence."

Patriarch Han nodded and his face became very ugly.

"If something comes out of nowhere, it may not be silent. This is the case in nine cases out of ten."

"Otherwise, why would so many people come here all of a sudden?"

"By the way, who are those people?"

"It seems that they are all literati who have had issues with our Han family or were bullied in the past."

These words made Patriarch Han's expression even more ugly.

It's difficult to handle. It seems that Emperor Hongwen is really determined to touch their people this time.

Even if I was willing to give something in exchange, I'm afraid it would be impossible to keep these people's official positions.

"Lu Yaoyao, Emperor Hongwen, okay, you are very good."

It's so frustrating.

Originally, he had already planned everything on the way here.

Let’s talk about Emperor Hongwen’s words first, and then see if it’s possible to give some money to atone for his crimes. If that doesn’t work, then give up some salt mines. As long as those people’s official positions can be preserved, even if these things are lost, it will not matter to the Han family.

It's a big blow.

But I never expected that Emperor Hongwen would come up with such a trick.

Not only do you want his things, but you also want to cut off an arm of the Han family.

But it’s impossible not to save him.

If they are left alone, it will not only be difficult for the family members, but also chill the hearts of those who follow them and win over them.

"Hasn't the head of the Han family arrived in the capital yet?"

In Chengyuan Villa, Lu Yaoyao was sitting on the couch, looking up at Qiu Shuang.

"I don't know, I don't know. Please wait a moment, I will go and ask."

Qiu Shuang turned around and went out, and walked around for about half an hour before coming back.

"Miss, the head of the Han family has arrived in the capital. I heard that he went directly to the palace."

"But I don't know exactly what was said."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and said with a smile, "What else can I say? It's just asking your Majesty to release him."

"But His Majesty will not let him go so easily."

"Just watch, the Han family will definitely be bloodletted this time."

"Miss, you are right. Just now, I received news. I heard that in the past few days, many literati have come from various places, including some who once served as officials in the imperial court and later became official officials."

"This is rare. Our Majesty is a bit more courageous this time."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and did not continue to ask.

As a result, she almost knew that the Han family was going to be in trouble this time, and this was just the beginning.

Patriarch Han entered the palace several times later, but Lu Yaoyao didn't know what they talked about.

However, within a few days, the imprisoned officials of the Han faction were sentenced one after another.

Most people's lives were saved, and only a few thugs were sentenced to execution.

Lu Yaoyao was not surprised at all by this.

After all, this time, killing is not the ultimate goal, but attacking the Han family is.

From the current point of view, the effect is still very significant. At least the Han family will have no one to use in Beijing for a while.

The next day, the King of Jin came to Chengyuan Villa and brought news that his Majesty wanted back 10% of the salt mine resources from the Han family.

As mentioned before, the Han family controls more than 70% of Dongzhou's salt mine resources. Some of the rest are in the court, and some are still among the people. Now they have taken back 10% from the Han family at once. It has to be said that this is

A big victory.
