Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Honghui sneered, "Hey~ Don't be happy yet. Just send someone from the lower five flags away. From now on, you are no longer a royal family, let alone a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know if you can support your family by then."

Thinking of the miserable life of ordinary Eight Banner families who had to pawn their belongings and could not afford new clothes all year round, the men shuddered, "Your Majesty, please don't do this, don't do this!"

"Why do you say that? Originally, you were in the Baoyi Banner, and the women in your family had to go to the palace to serve the master, and the men could not take the imperial examinations or fight in the battlefields. I raised you to the Manchu Banner because I wanted to raise you. In this way, don't you have a chance to make a career?"

The smile that seemed quite gentle in the past was so cold and intimidating in the eyes of the men of the Uya family!

What Prince Zhao said sounds good. It is good to raise the flag, but can they earn a future on their own?

The life of the bannermen for decades has been pampered, and those who are capable have long been dulled. Now there are only a bunch of playboys left in the clan. If they don't raise their flags now, these playboys will still have a chance to earn a future, but if they offend Prince Zhao, their future will be completely ruined.

The Empress Dowager's brother, First-class Duke Wuya Baiqi, bowed his head decisively and said, "Your Highness, my family will make up for the past debts. Those in the clan who can persuade them will also do their best. Those who cannot be persuaded will just accept their fate. It is up to you to punish them or not."

Honghui smiled and said, "That's right. I worry about you so much because I am thinking of you. If it were someone else, do you think I would say something?" Looking at the entire capital, the only two clans that were worthy of his attention were the Uya clan and the Ulanara clan. As for the Fucha clan, he didn't need to make the decision!

The Fucha family, which has always been famous for its proper education of its children and grandchildren and the emergence of many talented people, has become the center of attention this time. In the entire Fucha family, whether it is the direct branch or the side branch, there are only a few who cannot inherit the title smoothly. For a time, it became a trend for every family to marry a daughter of the Fucha family or a son of the Fucha family.

The contrast between the mother's clan and the wife's clan is so tragic. This is one of the reasons why Honghui has made great efforts to correct the two clans. As for the other reason, it is for the sake of the Royal Mother and the Royal Mother. He does not want these two clans to hold him back in the future!

With his worries resolved, Honghui walked out of the gate of the First-Class Duke's residence with a relaxed expression and headed towards Prince Zhao's residence.

He naturally didn't know that after he left, the Uya clan of the Empress Dowager's branch had another discussion in secret.

"The clan just recognized him as a first-class duke? Isn't this obviously offending the various clans?"

Wu Yabaiqi glanced at him and said, "So what if you don't acknowledge it? The prince has made it very clear. He knows all the tricks that the clan has done. If we don't settle this account, I'm afraid the whole clan will suffer in the future!"

"How could this be? The Empress Dowager is here, and at the very least, the Empress is here too. How could Prince Zhao bring shame to the two ladies?"

"Why not? I'm afraid Bao Yi will be in trouble..."

"You mean? ... No, we have to inform the other companies immediately..."

Wu Ya Baiqi shouted sternly, "Come back! The prince saved us early for the sake of the two ladies. If Wu Ya doesn't know what's good for us, confiscating our property and dismissing us from our posts will be the least of our punishments. I won't even be able to keep my title of first-class duke!"

Everyone was pacing around anxiously, and some people with short tempers couldn't help but say something angrily, "In my opinion, it's better to just throw away the pot. Doesn't the Queen have a Fourth Prince? He's said to be very smart..."

"Nonsense! I think you have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Money is more important than a future. Do you want your descendants to be stuck in the Ministry of Internal Affairs forever?

It's not easy for the prince to take our Uya clan seriously and train us wholeheartedly. When he ascends to the throne, the descendants of each family will have other options. Otherwise, wouldn't the prince be doing this in vain?"

Wuya Baiqi thought very clearly. If Prince Zhao ignored the Uya clan, he should be anxious. But now it is just the opposite. The clan should obey the prince's orders, and the incompetent children and grandchildren will be disciplined by the prince. It will benefit the clan anyway!

"Keep these words to yourself today and don't tell anyone. Anyone who dares to leak them will be expelled from the clan! Chief, I think you agree with me, right?"

The square-faced man in his forties glanced at the men in the room with a stern look: "Don't worry, this is about the Wuya clan, no one can mess up the clan's good things! I will have people keep a close eye on the clan, and anyone who acts rashly or leaks the information will be expelled from the clan!

You should think carefully about your descendants who have to study and practice martial arts in the cold and hot weather. Do you really want them to waste their hard work? Do you really want them to have no good future?

No one even dared to speak, and all their thoughts disappeared completely. They only calculated in their minds how much money they would have to pay to make up for the proceeds of past corruption!

Alas, this time I will have to hurt my bones.

Afterwards, Wu Ya secretly paid back more than one million taels of silver, which filled 70% of the deficit. As for the rest, since she had no cash and did not want to raise money from outside and alert the enemy, she got permission to pay it back later when she had the money.

This experience was enough to broaden Yinzhen's horizons and also made him even more angry. "In the past, when you mentioned that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was corrupt and had serious problems, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that the bondservants would treat the Emperor Shengzu Ren and me like monkeys!"

"Don't be angry. We can't alert the enemy at this moment. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is deeply rooted. We must be fully prepared to eradicate it in one fell swoop." Honghui came up to him and rubbed his back, comforting him gently, "The bondservants are colluding with each other. There are so many ladies and concubines in the palace who are bondservants. How can anyone see their ambitions?"

It would not be bad if I did not calculate it, but once I did, my heart skipped a beat. There are more and more concubines of bondservant origin, and if this continues, the harem will be controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Yinzhen frowned and stopped fiddling with the jade ring. "Let's ask someone to keep an eye on it first. The previous dynasty was busy investigating the deficit a few days ago and couldn't spare any time for now."

Honghui cupped his hands and said, "Yes, but what about this Wuya clan?"

"Since they have made amends, I will spare them this time for the Empress Dowager's sake. However, if they do it again, I will punish them!"

"It won't happen again for a while, but it won't work in the long run!" Honghui thought clearly and spoke logically, "I have a suggestion. If a banner concubine appears, her family members for five generations are not allowed to hold important positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for promotion, there should be no restrictions. After all, we can't let the Queen Mother down."

Yinzhen thought the same: "This makes sense. If you want honor, don't think about a future. If you want a future, don't think about honor. Let them choose one of the two."

After all, he is a member of the royal family born to a bondservant woman. He really cannot be too ruthless in some things, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face!
