Father can be an enemy to the country

After receiving the order, the brothers set off immediately.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin did not even go through the procedures for troop deployment. The two His Highnesses only brought two teams of their own guards, a total of four hundred soldiers.

As the boat sailed on the river, cutting through the waves, Zhu Zhen asked: "Third brother, how can you be so confident in fighting the rebellion without leading troops?"

"Brother, I am so confident." Zhu stood on the railing facing the wind, and the river wind blew a corner of his dragon robe, and said confidently:

"As the same saying goes, being handsome is a lifelong matter. Guan Yunchang went to the meeting alone. Zhang Wenyuan was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin that he bullied the few with many people and was never called handsome. He must be like a champion who surrendered alone to leave his name in history."

"..." Zhu Zhen said speechlessly: "Is this the time to be cool?"

"You did bring a lot of soldiers last time, didn't you scare them away?" King Jin said with a smile.

"Third brother, if you hit someone, don't slap them in the face." Lao Liu said with deep shame, "I really didn't expect that they were not afraid at all."

"That's because the knife was not put to the neck. They just didn't cry until they saw the coffin." Lao San sneered: "As for quelling the chaos... I guess Liu Ying should have controlled the situation by the time we arrived in Suzhou. Otherwise, he This pro-military captain could just find a piece of tofu and hit him to death.

"Besides, even if he really capsizes in the gutter, there are still tens of thousands of imperial troops in the south of the Yangtze River. It will be more than enough to quell the rebellion, let alone the rebellion." King Jin said solemnly:

"If you want to bring a large army with you again, you will be underestimated by those people!"

"Awesome..." What else can Lao Liu say besides applauding?

A foot is shorter and an inch is longer. He is indeed not as good as the third brother in this regard.

"By the way, third brother, my father wants you to frighten those big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and my eldest brother doesn't want you to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Zhu Zhen asked again: "Have you figured out how to control it?"

"Yeah." The third child nodded and lowered his voice: "I was just thinking about making a plan with you..."

"Okay." Lao Liu came closer and heard the third brother say:

"I think what Big Brother is afraid of is what you said...they have the right to speak."

"Um."

"This reminds me of their predecessors." King Jin said faintly: "You know the Jiangdong nobles, right?"

"Well, the king and the horse share the same world." Lao Liu nodded.

"Yes, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the power of the noble families reached its peak. Under the ninth-level Zhongzheng system, it can be said that they have absolute say, right?" King Jin said.

"That's right." Lao Liu then nodded and said, "A single comment from them can determine a scholar's career. Their right to speak is unparalleled."

"Yes, even though the Jiangdong gentry have been suppressed by three generations of Song, Qi and Liang, they are still aloof, and even the royal family is ashamed of themselves. But isn't it the same as in the old days when the king Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people?" King Jin said lightly: "You know Who completely pulled them off the altar?"

"General of the Universe," Zhu Zhen said softly. He has studied with Liu Bowen for so long, and he is no longer Wu Xia Amen.

"Yes, it's Hou Jing." Zhu Shen said: "The general of the universe was humiliated because of his marriage proposal. Later, in the process of besieging Taicheng and conquering the land of Sanwu, he carried out cruel revenge on the noble clan represented by Wang Xie. , the physical massacre is second, the key is to tear off the gorgeous robes of the aristocratic families, and let their cowardly and humble faces be exposed to the world.

"After that, the sacred halo around them disappeared, and no one would worship them as gods anymore. Naturally, they couldn't act like monsters." After the third child finished speaking, he patted the sixth child on the shoulder and pointed. Looking at the Jinshan Temple in front of him, he said:

"Actually, what you are doing here is right. The only problem is that you should not think about killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. You underestimated the stubbornness of those big families in the south of the Yangtze River. It is useless for them to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys - the knife did not fall on you. They always have a sense of luck, thinking that they can escape, and as long as they escape for a while, the world will be peaceful again!"

"It's true." Lao Liu nodded with sincerity.

"So, no one can be left behind..." King Jin said firmly, word by word.

~~

The two brothers followed the same route as Liu Ying.

Two days later, they arrived at Suzhou City at full speed.

Liu Ying went out to greet them personally. As soon as he saw the two highnesses arriving in person, he dismounted from his horse with a face full of shame and kowtowed heavily to apologize.

"The guilty minister was negligent in his duties, the guilty minister was incompetent, and he has brought shame to His Majesty. He still has to work for your two highnesses. He really deserves death!"

"..." Zhu Zhen wanted to comfort him, saying that it was himself his fault. But at this time, it was King Jin who should take the lead. The third brother did not speak, and it was difficult for him to speak.

"Get up first. Whether you are guilty or not is the final decision of my father. We have no control over it." King Jin said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Liu Ying stood up quickly, her forehead already blue.

"Let's talk about the situation in Suzhou City first." King Jin said calmly.

"Yes, that night I was waiting for an autopsy in the government office. Suddenly I heard a commotion outside the government office. There were rioters who believed the rumors and surrounded the government office. They wanted to kill the imperial envoy and take back Lu Zhonghe's body...

"Caught off guard, Suzhou prefect Li Heng negotiated with them to stall for time. We quickly prepared for the negotiation to break down and the rebels to attack the government office."

"But what people didn't expect is that although they kept throwing stones, feces and the like into the Yamen, they never really attacked the Yamen." Liu Ying said with a look of disbelief:

"We just faced off outside all night. When daybreak, the Suzhou Guards soldiers came to reinforce us, and the mob dispersed."

"Interesting..." King Jin and King Chu looked at each other. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

"What's even more strange is that later, officials from Wu County and Changzhou County inspected the whole city to check the losses, but they found that the rioters had done nothing wrong and did not take advantage of the situation." Liu Ying introduced as he led the way:

"Then the government issued a notice to calm the people and ordered those who participated in the rebellion to come forward. As a result, tens of thousands of people surrendered. As a result, Li Heng and others could not be detained or released, and they could only be sent home to await trial."

"What happened in Suzhou City is so weird that I really don't know how to deal with it." Liu Ying sighed for unknown times:

"I was worried that the criminals would be let go, and they would make more mistakes, so I ordered the city gates to be closed and the whole city to be under a curfew. At the same time, I asked the emperor to send another imperial envoy to deal with it." He said with a look of shame on his face: "I didn't expect that I would actually work for these two highnesses. What a sin.”

"Hahaha." The third child waved his hand, pointed at Liu Ying and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are a fan of the authorities. You have been ganged up on by others, do you know?"

"Ah?" Liu Ying opened her mouth.

"The entire Suzhou City is just a bureau," His Highness King Chu looked at the bustling Suzhou City Road in front of him with bright eyes:

"In this game, the people who caused trouble know that they are acting, the people in the government also know that they are acting, and even the common people watching the excitement know that they are acting. You are the only one who is kept in the dark, and it is a waste of true feelings."

"Ah?" Liu Ying suddenly blushed. "Then who are they acting for?"
