All the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Forest Army, Imperial Guard Army, Wucheng Bingma Division, and Jinglu Bingma Camp were mobilized. The investigation of the major families lasted for three full days, and the shock still did not subside.
Inside and outside the capital, notices from the imperial court were posted as early as that day to appease the people. Therefore, although the turmoil in the court hall and the mansions of the major families made the people panic for a while, it did not cause great fear and panic.
Since that day, the emperor has been ill with anger, and has never returned to the court, and all the affairs of the court have been handed over to An Shuli.
The capital has not seen blood on a large scale for decades. These days, it is like a dark cloud covering the top. The officials' black hats are thrown away one after another, and the heads of the evil children of the major families are lost one after another.
Among the top-ranked families in the world, dozens of them were immediately controlled, and the rest of the small families were too scared to go out. They closed their doors and prayed tremblingly that it would not be their turn. Then they thought, There are advantages to having a small family.
Seven days later, An Shuli released his words in the court hall, and the crown princess remonstrated that now the king of Lingnan conspired with the thieves, and His Highness led troops in Lingnan to quell the civil strife. A large area was stained with blood. At the beginning of the establishment of the Southern Chu Dynasty, the grandparents followed the Taizu to rule the world and made contributions to the Southern Chu community. Although it has been four hundred years, the descendants have made mistakes and neglected to teach , but it is also extenuating. The Crown Princess regards the benevolence of His Royal Highness’s house as the purpose, and puts the Nanchu River, Mountains and Community as the most important thing. She thinks that it is kindhearted for His Royal Highness to pray for blessings and cannot bear to see blood. Hereby, she has proposed a method for both ends. As for the military supply department, it has made contributions to the community, and it has kept His Highness the crown prince in peace.
As soon as these words came out, the major families in the bloody wind finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the southeast, the King of Lingnan rebelled, in the barren mountains of the north, Su Zi broke up his army and horses, and the Southern Chu court was under attack from the north and the south. In such a precarious situation, how could the major families not have the slightest wavering heart in private? But, An Shuli didn't give them any room to exploit. Anyang King and Chenglao County King suddenly pleaded guilty on behalf of the whole family, and the court began to investigate without warning. Everyone's expectation, so there is only one way to go, and that is to listen to the court.
If you are guilty, you are guilty, if you are innocent, you are not afraid. The ghosts of the big families are crying and howling, and the students from the poor families are feeling sorry for each other.
The first step to purify the world was a sensation for seven days. When everyone's nerves were tense and unable to hold on anymore, as soon as the princess's invitation came out, sunshine and a turning point ushered in. way of life.
The smart people finally understood that the reason behind An Zaifu's earth-shattering move was to eliminate the entrenched forces of the ruling and opposition parties and corrupt the court, and at the same time to provide food for the court to raise troops. The court would not follow the people The compilation can only be done from the major families.
In the 400 years since the Southern Chu Dynasty was established, the major aristocratic families were indeed raising too much fat. There were too many fish and meat common people, and there were many children. Now it's time to pay them back.
With An Shuli's remarks from the Crown Princess, this breakthrough, the major aristocratic families have a chance to count their own food and grass.
This matter involved the interests of countless people, so no one impeached the Crown Princess for interfering in government affairs, no one impeached her for being wrong, and they all praised that His Royal Highness is benevolent and benevolent, and that the Crown Princess is lofty and righteous.
In just ten days, the treasury that had been emptied by Xingbing was filled again.
The grain and grass are not enough to raise the army for half a year, even if the court fights for two years, it may be enough.
Whether it was An Shuli or Huayan, they did not expect that there would be such an astonishing number of food, grass and money handed over by the major families. It can be seen that in order to protect their safety from being uprooted, Huayan's words of merit have really worked, and the major families have put in a lot of effort and used their muscles and bones.
The most gratifying thing is that the small families who have not been named have also donated food, grass and money in a timely manner. They said that the Lingnan King's rebellious officials and thieves should be punished. They donated food and grass voluntarily, and only asked His Highness to kill the Lingnan King. To calm civil strife and keep the world peaceful.
In half a month, it was like an infection, from one family to another, and every family was infected. Even the wealthy businessmen and common people seemed to have been baptized with moral integrity and a sense of righteousness, and they voluntarily donated their surplus rice grains. For His Royal Highness the Prince on the front line to fight.
From the day Yun Chi was born and was established as the crown prince, he was in charge of the country at the age of sixteen, and now at the age of twenty, the prestige among the people accumulated over the past two decades was completely highlighted at this time, blowing all over the world like a whirlwind.
There was a wave of donating food and grass all over the world.
This was something that An Shuli did not expect, and it was also something that Hua Yan expected but did not expect that it would have such a big impact.
An Shuli has been busy for half a month without touching his feet, and finally he took a breath and came to see Huayan. After seeing Huayan, he first bowed to him, "I have never admired anyone in my life, except Your Highness, and you are the Crown Princess."
Although the executor of the matter was led by him, Huayan was the one who planned it at first, and he didn't expect the effect to be so good. I originally thought that such a turbulent government situation at this time would be unstable and unfavorable to the peace of chaos and the state of the country, but there is instability, and within the control range, there is no disadvantage at all. It is really more effective with half the effort.
Huayan looked at his thin appearance that made the official robes loose on his body, smiled and waved him to sit down, "You are the one who is exhausted, I stay in the East Palace all day, eat and sleep, eat and sleep, On the contrary, you came to salute me, thanks to my thicker skin, if I were thinner, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to see you."
An Shuli laughed, "If the power of the Hua family is divided into three, some of the power will go to Lingnan with An Shiqi, some of the power will follow Brother Hua Zhuo to the North, and the rest of the power will be in the hands of the princess. You stayed in the East Palace and didn't go out, but you have mobilized the power of the Hua family in the world, except for Lingnan and Beidi. With such a great contribution, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. You saved me a month Strength, I can't use this gift."
Huayan laughed, "I knew you would find out, but after all the major families in the world are purged, there is no need for the Hua family to stick to the old system. When the world is settled one day, the power of the Hua family will not be needed." The world is safe, the people are safe, and the Hua family may really return to normal."
An Shuli's heart was shaken when he heard the words, he put away his smile, and looked at Huayan, "The Hua family has never been publicized for thousands of years. I don’t do evil things, but according to what you said, now all the Hua family is called, and one day in the future, the world will be stable, and the power of the Hua family will be dispersed.”
"Yeah." Huayan nodded, "That's what it means."
An Shuli looked at her, "It's your idea, or Brother Hua Zhuo's idea. After all, you are a princess, and you can only be considered half of the Hua family, so you should get married."
Huayan smiled slightly, "That's not what I meant. Four hundred years ago, I was the Baohua family, and I was able to abandon the back beam of the world. I would like to entrust my family into the water, but my elder brother is not the grandfather of the past. My grandfather allowed me to evict the family, but my elder brother did not. I chatted with my brother, mentioned the cloud clan spiritual arts, the way of heaven returns to nature, and later talked about the future of the Hua family, I guessed that my brother meant this."
An Shuli nodded, feeling, "It would be a pity if the hermit family for thousands of years really fell into the ordinary one day, compared to cleaning up the filth and filth in the families of the great aristocrats, crying ghosts and howling wolves."
Huayan's eyes lightened, and her smile was as light as clouds, "Shuli, there is nothing in this world that can last for thousands of years or even tens of millions of years. After I married into the Houliang royal family four hundred years ago, in fact, Huayan My family is no longer the Hua family that followed the precepts of my ancestors. Although I drove away from the family at that time, my grandfather still intervened in the end. Otherwise, there would be no conspiracy and turmoil that has lasted for four hundred years. Now, I am also the Crown Princess of Southern Chu. From the day I was selected by Yunchi, the fate of the Hua family has changed. If the world is in peace and the Hua family truly returns to normal, there is nothing wrong with it. It will be better than what I was afraid of. Because of me, the Hua family was infected with the secular world of imperial power. One day, after decades or hundreds of years of my death, a fork in the road will be taken, and the nine clans will be overthrown. You know, the road of imperial power will always be on the bone. No family can survive on its own from generation to generation.”
An Shuli sighed and nodded, "That's right, you and Brother Hua Zhuo have long-term thinking. In this way, maybe the descendants of the Hua family will be invincible for thousands of years. People are there, veins are there, roots are there, and continuation is the key to success." exist."
