Views:

Su Rong was not in a good mood.

The main thing is that he really doesn't like his sister marrying Xiao Heng, a man who is destined to sail in storms and waves. However, his sister likes it, so what can he do

In her memory, Su Yao rarely showed that he liked something or someone.

The more this was the case, the more she said that she liked Xiao Heng this time, which was the real reason why Su Rong changed his attitude.

Life is already difficult. If you can get what you like and spend the rest of your life with the person you love, then life should be sweeter, right

Since this was the case, Su Rong wanted to resolve the Yunnan issue quickly so that he could make a contribution.

Only by making achievements can you move up, and only by moving up can you grow into a stronger tree and protect those you care about.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, not knowing how many thoughts had flashed through his mind in such a short time. He smiled and said softly, "That's what I was thinking."

Su Rong did not say anything else. Although he was going to be the eldest brother-in-law, who made him a future brother-in-law? He thought for a moment, coughed and emphasized: "However, Your Highness, I still have to say something ugly in advance. If you make her sad in the future, I will definitely seek justice for her!"

This was the main reason why Su Rong thought Xiao Heng was not good enough. He was the grandson of the emperor and might become the emperor in the future. Even if he did not have three palaces and six courtyards, life would never be smooth sailing. If Su Yao was wronged one day, what would he do

Xiao Heng looked at Su Rong thoughtfully and said softly, "My father and mother were together until they died. They loved each other very much and only had each other at the end of their lives. I think the same thing."

Su Rongtong Kong shrank back, and finally nodded heavily: "Your Highness, I remember what you said."

When smart people talk to each other, they stay within the meaning.

Having said that, there is really no need to say anything more. Xiao Heng smiled and pointed at the document in his hand: "Come, take a look at the information given by Lord Liao. Next, there are still many things to do."

Su Rong also calmed his mind, took it and glanced at it, and silently memorized the important information.

After a while, Mr. Cui and his friends came back, and everyone looked at the document together.

Mr. Cui finished reading first and gave the information to Tang Qingfeng and the others. He then stroked his beard and said, "Among the gentry in Kunming City, the richest ones are the Ji family, the Shen family, and the Bai family. These families are all pure natives. They have been rich until now because of hundreds of years of accumulation and the grace of the court. Otherwise, even if they were natives, they would not have reached this point without the grace of the court. It is indeed time to talk to them."

They said they wanted to have a talk, but in reality, they just wanted to unite these families and let them all work to help the court quell the rebellion.

However, thinking about it is one thing, and whether others are willing to do it is another.

Fourth Master Cui said at the side: "There is also the Yang family. However, after what happened to Yang Binqing and Councillor Yang, I'm afraid the Yang family will never cooperate properly."

But the Yang family refused, and even with the Ji family's help, it would be difficult to convince the other families.

This matter is indeed a problem.

After discussing for a whole night, by the time everyone had left, it was already completely dark and one could not see one's fingers. Xiao Heng watched Sanjiu turn off the lights. He was originally going to sleep in the next room, but suddenly he heard dogs barking all around. Then the dogs around seemed to have heard the noise and started barking one after another. The yard was very lively for a while.

Sanjiu immediately relit the fire and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, what is that sound?"

It's no wonder that Sanjiu was surprised. Just today during the day, the natives surrounded the Ji family. Now there was such a loud noise in the middle of the night. It was really scary.

Xiao Heng frowned, opened the door and went out, then saw lights on in many courtyards. Gradually, footsteps and voices were heard, all coming towards him.

Something really happened.

This thought flashed through his mind, and he stood quietly in the corridor. Sure enough, not long after, he saw Liao Jingxu and others rushing over with pale faces.

Under the light of the lantern, the frontier official had a very unhappy expression on his face. He staggered and almost fell down in a hurry, but he didn't care about that anymore. He staggered over and saw Xiao Heng standing in the corridor. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, something happened! The soldiers under Councillor Yang's guard post mutinied. I heard, I heard..."

Those local soldiers have always been under the command of Councillor Yang, and usually only listen to Councillor Yang's words.

Xiao Heng had previously asked Tang Yuan to take over the military camp. In fact, everyone knew that it would not go so smoothly. However, who could have expected that a mutiny would actually happen? !

Those soldiers really went too far!

Especially, Tang Yuan was the consort of Princess Yongning. If Tang Yuan died in the mutiny, it would be like a general died before the battle against Mu Tong...

Everyone looked anxious, even the usually calm Cui Daru had a serious look on his face: "These natives are ignorant of education, which is really a headache. The most urgent task now is to determine the current situation of the prince consort, and to bring out the officer who caused the most trouble!"

But how easy is this

The local soldiers mutinied, which shows that they do not take the imperial orders and officials seriously. At this time, will they cooperate with you to arrest people

Liao Jingxu moved his mouth but didn't say anything.

Xiao Heng said, "Call the troops. Select one thousand imperial guards -- five hundred each from the Imperial Guards and Imperial Uniform Guards. Then select three thousand palace soldiers. Follow me out of the city!"

Liao Jingxu had no choice but to speak. He asked anxiously, "Your Highness! You can't do that! The son of a wealthy family is abhorrent. Those soldiers are already committing treason. If you go, they..."

Xiao Heng was unmoved, his eyes still firm: "No need to say more, I must go in person. Since the soldiers are not educated, from now on, they must be educated!"

Liao Jingxu opened his mouth and couldn't help but sigh. He thought that everyone could say the truth, but it was not that simple. If it was that simple, how could it have been four or five dynasties without solving this problem? And it was your turn as the crown prince to quell the rebellion

However, the Crown Prince's attitude was so firm, and it seemed that he had no intention of changing it. Liao Jingxu observed his expression and decided not to say anything more. He just replied in a serious tone and said that he would go and take care of the matter of the 3,000 palace soldiers. He must go with Xiao Heng.

Otherwise, if something really happened, not only would he lose his position as an official, he would also lose his head.

Such a big thing happened late at night. Mrs. Liao was so shocked that she kept waiting for news. When she heard that her husband was going out of the city to the camp, her face turned pale.
