He sent Shangguan Jie to Guandong to do something about bribery and poaching. But Zhang Yue did not give up the possibility of a military solution.

Therefore, on July 15th, the Changshui Captain and the Shooting Captain were ordered to move to Xin'an.

At the same time, Guanzhong ordered 30,000 county soldiers to follow him.

He poses as if he sharpens his knife and goes south at any time.

After doing this, Zhang Yue turned around and cleaned up Guanzhong that had just become stable and stable.

What he needs to do is naturally two things.

First, liquidation.

Liquidate all forces that had been enemies with him during the summer turmoil.

Therefore, the Meng family, Wang family and other powerful families in Chang'an who had attempted to frame him were punished for "great rebellion and injustice, causing trouble to the country."

This is the first step.

Then, he came to the imperial prison.

Here, now there are old high-ranking officials and nobles.

Not only are there crown princes and ministers, but also former national ministers.

For example, Prime Minister Liu Qumao, General Li Guangli of Guard, and Zhang Yue's own son-in-law, Duwei Jin Riyi.

Liu Qumao and Li Guangli were locked up together.

Because they were former prime ministers and generals, their treatment was actually very good. In addition to losing their freedom, they still lived in a yard with rich clothes and food in the imperial prison.

There were even servants and maids.

When Zhang Yue saw them, the two in-laws were having fun in the room of the imperial prison.

Seeing Zhang Yue suddenly coming, Liu Qumao and Li Guangli were quite surprised. Liu Qumao even wanted to get up to greet him, but after thinking about it, he still sat there.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Li..." Zhang Yue stepped forward without hesitation and said with a smile: "Why don't you welcome me?"

"Hmph!" Li Guangli snorted coldly, without answering.

However, Liu Qumao, although he was sitting in place, just replied bluntly: "How dare you? You are now looking at the major internal and external affairs. I am waiting for the criminal ministers, and I dare not rush to the top..."

"Mr. Liu was joking..." Zhang Yue sat down, gave himself a glass of wine, and said, "Although the two were confused for a while, they almost caused a disaster by the chaotic army, they were both the third dukes of the country..."

"Although I am now on the order of the emperor to protect the great-grandson of the emperor and to save the country, then... the two of them are seniors and elders, how dare I be negligent?"

When Li Guangli heard this, his expression finally changed. He whispered: "What does Jun Hou mean?"

"Now the country is troublesome, and the counties and states in the southeast have misunderstood me..."

“This is really inappropriate…”

"I thought that the two Minggongs are highly respected and have numerous subordinates, so why would you ask them to write two self-reporters to tell the world? It is so that the people of the world should not misunderstand me..."

This is coercion and temptation.

But Liu Qumao and Li Guangli dared not refuse to obey.

After all, if you can live, you will have a chance!

So, Zhang Yue successfully got the self-reports of these two past officials and left their room with satisfaction.

When he walked out the door, Zhang Yue summoned a prison officer and ordered: "Safe in charge, don't make any mistakes!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yue looked back at the heavily guarded yard and nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Qumao and Li Guangli are still unable to kill or move.

If possible, he wouldn't want to kill these two people.

That would be too ridiculous and too irritating those old ministers who were foolish and loyal to Liu.

It is more suitable to boil frogs in warm water.

So he moved to another yard that was also under the supervision and besieged.

Here, he was under house arrest for his old elder brother and in-law Jin Il-jeong, the former prince of Xiu Tu and the Han prince-consort.

Jin Riyi's mental state is much worse than that of Liu Qumao.

He looked pale, haggard and powerless.

When he saw Zhang Yue, he immediately became excited: "Zhang Zizhong! You, a traitor, dare you come to see me?"

Zhang Yue shook his head, walked forward, held the too excited big brother, and whispered: "Emperor Jin Duke thinks I am willing to do this?"

"That night, if I didn't choose that road, the captain thought that you could see me now?"

"I'm afraid I can only see my head!"

"My widowed sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and children's concubines may also make it difficult for everyone to protect themselves, and even become a plaything for others!"

Kim Il-jeong then became silent.

Of course he knew and understood that this was the script prepared by the emperor for General Ying Yang that day.

As long as he is loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Liu family, he will inevitably be unable to escape death.

Even if you are just a little loyal, you are still doomed!

He became a tool for the future crown prince to win over the hearts of the people and comfort the world after he ascended the throne, became a tragic hero, and became another famous minister who died unjustly in history books.

Several years or more than ten years after his death, the court used him to rehabilitate him, posthumously gift him, and wrote a biography. This can gain a wave of people's hearts and establish an image of a benevolent monarch and wise ruler.

What a pity...it's a pity...

The emperor could not have imagined, and he could not have expected that one night, General Yang's actions would have completely exceeded their expectations.

This is actually a general who does not even have any loyalty to the Liu family!

In other words, in his heart, Liu was far inferior to himself.

As a result, all plans suddenly became empty.

Originally, things wouldn't be so bad.

Even if the plan fails, the emperor and the court can still grasp the situation, at most, only a few people will die.

but……

Huo Guangjian took a detour and set fire to Weiyang Palace, Zhao Chongguo, Shangguan Jie and others deliberately indulged in the rebels of the prince for their own selfishness.

As a result, the situation was completely out of control, and Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace could no longer control the situation.

Finally, a prince was defeated and died. The grandson was killed by the rioters, and even the emperor was placed under house arrest in disguise. The power of the state fell into the hands of General Ying Yang.

They finally shot themselves in the foot!

"Even if the emperor doesn't let you down..."

"Even if the prince is sorry for you..."

"Triumang, what's wrong with it?" Kim Il-jeong suddenly said, "How can you bear to treat His Highness the Grand His Highness like this and repay His Highness like this?"

Zhang Yue smiled.

At Kim Il-yeon, he is not afraid of revealing any secrets.

"Your Highness the Grand Prince is not dead..." Zhang Yue said softly: "That night, Huo Guang thought he set fire to His Royal Prince to death, but in fact, your highness had already escaped from the Weiyang Palace under the guard's entourage..."

"The corpses in the side hall of Shiqu Pavilion are just guards beside His Highness..."

Kim Il-jeong suddenly became excited: "Where is Your Highness now?"

Zhang Yue smiled at him and said nothing.

Kim Il-jeong doesn't need to know this matter. He is also planning to bring this secret into the grave.

In short, the grandson of the Han Dynasty is indeed alive.

However, this highness no longer wants, does not want, and dares not touch Zhengzhi again.
