Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1111

[Chapter 1101 Comprehensive arrest]

“Outside, outside, there are remnants of the parliament who are causing trouble in the empire, and there are Ge Yiren and others who intend to rebel. When the crisis of the empire reappears, the emperor calls on the people of the empire to work together with the court to eradicate the traitors and defend the empire. “

The sky in the east turned slightly fishy white, and the clear voice of the newsboy sounded in the streets and alleys.

Hearing the newsboy’s cry, passers-by stopped to buy newspapers.

The big news that happened in Qingzhou City yesterday frightened many people, and even made people speculate. Now that the emperor himself wrote an article to explain the ins and outs, they were quite impatient to know what happened.

“I didn’t expect that after so many years of eradication, this merchant council is still a centipede.”

In front of the breakfast stall, a worker who was eating breakfast and getting ready to go to the factory lamented.

Sitting next to him are many workers like him, who all work in the industrial area and come here to eat tofu and fried dough sticks almost every morning.

“In my opinion, the main crisis this time is not the Businessmen’s Council. After all, the Businessmen’s Council is just rootless duckweeds and can’t make any noise. The real problem is that the former cabinet minister Ge Yi recognized that they want to It’s a usurpation of power, and it’s much more powerful than the merchant council,” another worker said.

“No, otherwise the emperor would not let the whole world jointly fight against rebellion.” Someone answered.

“This scene seems familiar. This is how the emperor eradicated the wealthy families in the six states more than ten years ago. More than ten years have passed, and now the same crisis has reappeared. It seems that without the sword and sword, this matter cannot be calmed down.” The man was a worker in his forties.

“Brother Zhang, you are a native of Qingzhou. Was that incident really so terrible more than ten years ago?” asked a young worker.

The middle-aged man who was questioned showed an expression of reminiscence, “It’s terrible. There was a river of blood back then. The lotus pond outside Qingzhou City was dyed red with blood.”

When the others heard this, they showed horrified expressions. They all They came from other cities and later settled in Qingzhou. They had heard about the liquidation of the wealthy families in the six states, but they had never experienced it.

But when the middle-aged man said this, they seemed to be immersed in the scene and couldn’t help but feel chills running down their backs.

Seeing that everyone was worried, the middle-aged man known as Brother Zhang suddenly laughed and said, “What are you worrying about? This matter is not your fault. The only ones who are unlucky are the traitors.”

After a pause , he pointed to the last paragraph of the manuscript and said: “Did you see this sentence? The emperor asked the militia to lead the people to hunt down the traitors. It is estimated that the empire will then move like the six states in the past. By then, it will be said that there will be obstacles everywhere. Everyone is staring at strangers, and not even a fly can escape from the emperor’s hand.”

Everyone sighed again after hearing this, and someone said: “Since the emperor has given the order, we must obey it. If it hadn’t been for the emperor’s power these years. Against all odds and benefiting the people, we don’t have the good life we have today. Now there are people who want to return the empire to the original Great Chongqing Kingdom. I will be the first one not to do it.”

“I won’t do it either. It’s been a long time. I can’t bear to let those scholar-bureaucrats urinate on top of me. “Some people are booing.

“In this case, we will cooperate with the emperor to catch all these traitors and restore peace to the empire. Let’s go to the factory and gather other people to search people from house to house.”

“Let’s go, let’s go together!” Others cheered.

Qingzhou University.

The students who read the newspaper were all filled with indignation. Since the reform of the empire, they represent the power of imperial innovation.

They are naturally not happy when Ge Yiren and others try to bring them back to the dark age.

Therefore, after the news in the newspaper spread in the school, the students organized themselves and went out of the college to publicize the conspiracy of the Business Council in Qingzhou and denounced the despicability of Ge Yiren and others.

As time went by, this sentiment spread in Dengzhou, Jinling, Suzhou and other cities. For a time, the entire empire was vigorously arresting the traitors on the list.

Many thieves who tried to escape had nowhere to escape and were quickly arrested and brought to justice.

However, during the arrest process, some people also avenged themselves. Many old nobles who were not involved with Ge Yi Ginseng were also unlucky. Some were cursed and some were beaten.

This situation quickly frightened the old nobles who usually criticized Xiao Ming. Thinking of what Xiao Ming did more than ten years ago, they all expressed their loyalty to the royal family and claimed to support the decree promulgated by Xiao Ming. Government decree.

However, the old aristocrats were frightened, and Pang Yukun was also frightened. Originally, he was prepared to wait for the destruction of the old aristocrats in Chang’an, with Ge Yi and Luo Hong as the main body, with the mentality of watching a drama. However, if the current situation continues to develop, it will be out of control. .

So he found Xiao Ming in a hurry.

“Your Majesty, with the help of the people of the country, most of the remnants of the Merchant Council have been brought to justice, and some of the remnants have fled to the sea. Even if they do not die at sea, it is hard to say how many people will be left after escaping to Europe. As for the people in Chang’an All the old nobles who were colluding with Ge Yiren were arrested, and those who tried to act as wallflowers were also punished. The lower officials saw that this matter should be dealt with, otherwise it would be counterproductive,”

Pang Yukun said with a look of sincerity and fear .

look.

Xiao Ming was reading the intelligence provided by secret guards from various places. Pang Yukun was anxious about this matter, but he was not in a hurry because he was controlling the development of the situation from behind.

The secret guard is his invisible hand that controls the situation, acting as the leader, so he can hit wherever he points.

If the secret guards couldn’t control it, he immediately sent out guards to control it.

In this way, overall, he did not let this matter get out of control, and at the same time achieved the effect he wanted.

The excerpts sent by the old nobles of Chang’an are proof that after this incident, they basically understood that the era of their willfulness was over.

You can live comfortably from now on, but if you want to do something, you have to think carefully about it.

“You are a step late. I have already sent the article to the newspaper. Tomorrow it will be announced that the criminal Judu has been arrested, and this matter has ended perfectly.”

Xiao Ming said lightly.

Pang Yukun breathed a sigh of relief, “It turns out that the emperor has already prepared to order, so I can rest assured.”

After a pause, he continued: “Your Majesty, it has been several days since Niu Ben and Luo Quan arrived in Qingzhou by train. God, it is estimated that the commanders of other major military regions will arrive on time. This matter about Luo Hong…”

Xiao Ming said: “The Luo family has proven their loyalty, but Luo Hong has made a big mistake. I will never tolerate it, otherwise what will happen? To serve as a warning, I can only make General Luo sad this time.”

Pang Yukun sighed, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. After all, Luo Hong also made great contributions during the feudal war.
