Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1107

[Chapter 1097 Reactions from all parties]

Fei Mansion.

Fiji listened to the news brought by the housekeeper with some disbelief, “You said Ge Yiren was taken away by the secret guards?”

“It’s absolutely true. Ge Yiren is a cabinet minister. No one can hide what happened to him. Now the news has spread in Qingzhou City, “the steward said sadly.

When Fiji heard this, he felt a sense of panic in his heart. He had been in the officialdom for so long and had experienced all kinds of storms. This news made him instantly understand that something was going to happen.

“Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, the three unscrupulous descendants of our Fei family have been exiled. Otherwise, if they were implicated in this matter, I would be dead,” Fiji said with a sigh.

The butler looked puzzled and said, “Master, what do you mean by this?”

“Before, Fei and Pei were at most violating the emperor’s will, but now this matter is going to turn heads, and it has been going on for so long. The reason why it was triggered but not announced must be the emperor’s secret plan, in order to bring about a top-down rectification of the empire. “Fiji has long had a plan in mind. ‘

So during this period of time, he reported illness every now and then and rested at home, completely cutting off all contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China, as if he didn’t care about anything.

What is happening now has verified his suspicion. Ge Yiren is just the beginning. I am afraid there will be many more people to be dealt with, and among these people there are not a few former Chang’an officials.

Ever since he witnessed Xiao Ming’s iron-blooded tactics in the last incident, he had given up completely. After all, his daughter was already the queen and he had no heirs, so why bother with it any more.

After pondering for a moment, he continued: “From now on, you will announce that my condition has worsened again and I cannot see guests, except the emperor and the queen.”

The old butler realized the seriousness of this matter, and he emphasized Nodding, he immediately asked the servant to close the main entrance of Fei Mansion, leaving only a side door for the servants to enter and exit on weekdays.

Princess Mansion.

Princess Pingyang also learned about Ge Yiren’s arrest. Because today is a rest day stipulated by the empire, many people are relaxing in the city, so such a big news naturally spreads very quickly.

“Ouyang Mu, ask the servants to close the front door. From now on until the turmoil over this matter is over, no visitors will be seen.”

“Duke Song and King Yong are not here either?” Ouyang Mu asked.

“Not at all. Rumors about the empire have been spreading fiercely during this period, and some restless relatives of the emperor may be involved. I don’t want someone to cry and come to me as a lobbyist.” Princess Pingyang frowned.

Since coming to Qingzhou, taking over the Railway Department and becoming an important female official in the empire, she has been very satisfied. After all, she could not participate in government affairs like a man in the previous dynasty.

She also agreed with Xiao Ming’s measures to improve the status of women in the empire. In addition, under Xiao Ming’s rule, the empire’s living standards were booming, and she enjoyed a comfortable life here that she could not enjoy as a princess before.

What more could she ask for?

“Is this really so serious?” Ouyang Mu still couldn’t believe it.

“All the cabinet ministers have been taken away, is it still serious? I’m afraid there will be heads falling this time. I know Xiao Ming’s temper best. When we came to Qingzhou, did you think that the assassin was really sent by the Wang family? “

Remembering this long-standing incident, Ouyang Mu said, “I had some doubts at the time, but I didn’t have enough evidence, but now I can probably guess a little bit. “

“Yeah, he was just King Qi back then. How brave do you think he is to dare to assassinate the fake Wang family? Later, he wiped out all the wealthy families in the six states overnight. How many people dare to do this with such iron-blooded skills? Now someone in the empire wants to restrict him. Right, is this not seeking death?” Princess Pingyang stretched and stood up.

The youthfulness of more than ten years has gradually slipped away from her face, but a natural noble temperament made her even more charming.

“In this case, we have to be more careful this time.” Ouyang Mu couldn’t help but feel chills all over his body. The cruel internal fighting in the empire had disappeared for a long time, and some people had forgotten the horror of the blood-stained city.

With a slight nod, Princess Pingyang turned and walked towards the main hall. Now she just wanted to live peacefully and see what amazing technologies the empire would have in the future.

At the same time, other officials and dignitaries in Qingzhou also quickly received the news.

For a time, the entire Qingzhou City was filled with a strange atmosphere.

This atmosphere quickly fermented with the order to recall the commander of a major military region, and the ensuing curfew made people even more panicked.

Raozhou.

Luo Quan drove a group of cows back to the pen before dusk. After the demise of the Golden Horde, the five or six thousand kilometers of grassland became a land without one.

Before he abandoned his official position and returned to his fields, he took the opportunity to ask Xiao Ming for a large pasture and some barbarian slaves. He also purchased a group of Friesian cows when the empire was on good terms with the Dutch.

After several years of operation, the cows on his ranch have been able to produce milk, which is one step closer to his ambition of letting everyone in the empire drink milk.

The reason why he had this ambition was because Xiao Ming explained to him the importance of milk to the physical fitness of the people of the empire.

At the same time, if there is milk, a family can raise more healthy children, which is more important to the empire than conquering cities and territories. Of course, this is what Xiao Ming told him.

He was thinking when suddenly a man came from the east of the pasture. It was Niu Ben. Like him, he also enclosed a pasture in Raozhou, but instead of raising cattle, he raised war horses imported from Europe.

Looking at the galloping Niu Ben, Luo Quan laughed and scolded: “Did you, old guy, get chased by a wolf or something?”

Niu Ben’s face was very ugly, and he said, “Wait until I finish, let’s see if you can still “

You can laugh.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Luo Quan asked in confusion.

At this time, Niu Ben slapped a telegram on Luo Quan’s chest, “Ge Yiren has been arrested, Luo Hong is now in Yizhou, and the emperor has ordered the commanders of the six military regions to be summoned to Qingzhou to attend a military meeting. This is going to happen.” What a big deal! “

Luo Quan is also a person who has experienced ups and downs. Niu Ben’s brief words were enough to make him think about many things, but he still couldn’t believe the possibility!

“Impossible, Luo Hong can’t do it. Even if Luo Hong is confused, Luo Xin will not be stupid.” Luo Quan looked pale.

During the Battle of the Grassland, he had realized that the Luo family’s influence in the army was too great, so he decided to retire. The purpose was to make the Luo family gradually forgotten by the empire.

He was also very grateful to Xiao Ming for Luo Hong not becoming the commander, because this showed that Xiao Ming never wanted to target the Luo family from beginning to end.

Because if two of the six military regions of the empire were controlled by the Luo family, the Luo family would be destroyed.

“I will return to Qingzhou now. If these two traitors dare to do anything detrimental to the emperor, I will kill them with my own hands.” Luo Quan was angry and heartbroken.

Niu Ben sighed, “I’ll go back with you. I’m at least a little shy in front of the emperor.”
