Chapter 615: The Plan of Wu'an Marquis and His Son
The two said almost in unison.
Yes, if it was a clan relative, Marquis Wu'an would not be so loyal, but if it was Pang Qingping, it would be possible.
Because of Sun Xiaolian's incident, Marquis Wu'an had no children in his life and only adopted this one godson, who was said to be raised as his own son.
Only a godson could make him work so hard.
He is old enough to be Huo Xiangxi’s son.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but kiss his wife again.
But to be on the safe side, the three royal relatives must also be investigated, and now Pang Qingping is added to the list.
The hair of the three clan members is easy to do, but Pang Qingping's might be a little difficult.
Shen Yuan still left the space and sent a carrier pigeon to Pingnan County to deliver a letter, and also asked someone to secretly investigate Pang Qingping's background.
At this time in Pingnan County, Pang Qingping was reporting the intelligence of the past few days to his father, Marquis Wu'an.
"Minister Chen betrayed Huo Xiangxi, and the Huo family has been destroyed. Only Mr. Huo has been imprisoned. I think what my father said is right. Even if Minister Chen did not betray Huo Xiangxi, the emperor would still put the blame on the Huo family.
He has been wanting to deal with the Huo family for a long time. Now that this opportunity has been given to him, if he doesn't do it, then he has been sitting on the throne for two years in vain."
Although the emperor was a folk emperor, he was still soft-hearted.
But he believed that if a man sat in that position, no matter what his past was like, once he had tasted power, he would not allow the Huo family to exist.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
"So, now they all think that the rebellion is from the Huo family? Have the troops in Pingliao County been deployed?"
Pang Rong did not relax. This matter was too big and if he was not careful, he would be exposed.
"Don't worry, father. The 6,000 men from Pingliao County have long been ours. Now the Emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo only think that the troops that have not been transferred to the mines are the troops led by Huo Xiangxi from Pingliao County.
Now, Your Majesty has sent Zhao Chong to deal with this matter. Six thousand people is not a small number. The population of our Xia Dynasty is small. Your Majesty is not cruel enough. He only let Zhao Chong beat each of the six thousand people with fifty military sticks and sent them to the most miserable and tiring camp in the north. "
"But His Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo never expected that Zhao Chong was one of ours. We didn't fight those 6,000 men very hard. Half of them pretended to be dead on the way and were quietly transferred by us. The other half will go to the north, and they may be useful to us."
When Pang Qingping talked about this, his eyes were full of pride.
Although the North is desolate, it is also an important checkpoint. The people sent there are still their people, and they can monitor the North.
I thought that the destruction of the mine and the loss of so many soldiers would cause great damage to our army, but I never thought that it would be a blessing in disguise and we could reach the north.
Most of the people in the North come from the Huo family army, so it is difficult for their people to get in.
And even if they revolt in the future, they still have to guard against the north.
Now, with these people around, the Huo family has been destroyed, and the Huo family army in the north is likely to have a feud with the royal family. If some of their people follow suit and incite, it is very likely that they can recruit the Huo family army for their own use.
"I still have to find the Huo Family Army's military talisman. The talisman must be with the old man. Only with the talisman can the Huo Family Army be truly useful to me."
Pang Rong certainly knew what his son was thinking.
It would not be as easy as he thought to incite the Huo family's troops to rebel.
If the Huo family is destroyed, the Huo family army may complain, but how loyal are the Huo family army after several generations? It is absolutely impossible for them to go against the royal family for the Huo family.
Even if he wanted to speak up for the Huo family, he would probably have to find ways to get the old man's approval.
So, this is the reason why His Majesty kept the old man.
As long as the old man is around, the Huo family army will never be able to rebel.
After all, the old man is the most loyal lackey of the royal family and would never betray the royal family.
He guessed that keeping the old man must be the intention of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the little emperor didn't have such a mind.
"Our people have searched the Huo family thoroughly, but have not found any trace of the military token. I think it is still with the old man. I have sent people to look for it."
Pang Qingping also thought of this, and of course the military talisman is more reliable.
Pang Rong nodded, it seemed that the matter was settled.
The emperor must have been very proud of himself. He dealt with the Huo family, appeased the Huo family army, and even cleaned up the court.
In this round, it seems that the Royal Family has won.
In fact, he was still in the dark. Even because of this game, His Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo had completely relaxed and the whole country was celebrating.
"I heard that in Daliushu Village, the son-in-law of the Ye family was appointed as a lieutenant. He was also very high-profile and wanted the whole world to know about his achievements. He even set up a hundred tables for a banquet. He just loved to listen to other people's flattery and was very arrogant."
Pang Qingping sneered when he thought of Shen Yuan's behavior.
A farmer, not only married a princess, but also suddenly became an official of the fifth rank, rising to the top and becoming a phoenix. Not to mention a farmer, even an ordinary man would be elated to have such an experience.
Pang Rong was also completely relieved.
Shen Yuan's behavior further proved that His Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo were blinded by the victory. They were praising Shen Yuan profusely. How could they not be happy when the world was at peace?
As long as they are settled.
He can also take a breath and take the opportunity to make a comeback. This is the best time.
After all, he would be going to Beijing again during the New Year, so the better to do this sooner rather than later. He had to give them a heavy blow while they were reveling and catch them off guard.
Putting aside what happened over there, Pang Qingping thought of another thing.
"We have already led King Cheng here. It is estimated that he will reach the border of Pingnan County in a few days."
Pang Rong didn't care about this matter.
Pang Qingping can handle this little matter on his own.
"Treat him well and make sure he stays in Pingnan County."
The father and son discussed for a long time before going to rest.
Pang Rong looked at Pang Qingping's departing back, his eyes deep.
This son is good, ambitious and capable.
Just too ambitious.
I don’t know if he will become the second Huo Xiangxi in the future.
Prince Cheng Yun Zheng was indeed almost in Pingnan. He had always believed that Yun Yi was the grandson of his eldest brother, so he naturally wanted to find out.
At that time, the emperor's eldest grandson Yun Xuanzhang took his son to the south to hide and once came to Pingnan County.
Recently, his people found out that a servant of the emperor's eldest grandson was active in Pingnan County, so he naturally rushed over without stopping.
Yun Zheng rushed to Pingnan County, but he didn't know that someone had woven a huge net for him.
And the modern Yun Zheng was suddenly visited by someone that night.
It was his good friend, doctor Guo Jingqi.
Yun Zheng doesn't have a house in this city, he lives in a hotel. He had a physical examination today and got some medicine. He doesn't plan to stay any longer. He plans to visit an old gentleman tomorrow and then leave.
He doesn't have many days left, and there are still many places he wants to go.
Guo Jingqi naturally knew which hotel he was staying in. They had originally planned to meet outside to discuss the matter, but he couldn't wait and went straight to the hotel with a document.
