Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: turning hands into clouds
Zhao Jin stood up and patted the man on the shoulder.
"The fact that you can say this to me today means that you are still a member of the Zhao State. I will not kill you, nor will I kill anyone. Don't worry, I won't wait until the day when the Wei State comes. The old thief Qin Gong will naturally
He will get the lesson he deserves, and all the poison on you will be lifted."
The man knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhao Jin, and the sound of his impact echoed throughout the camp.
"I knew I had seen the right person. I followed His Highness the Crown Prince and I was indeed following the right person. I will thank His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of these brothers."
Zhao Jin laughed and left, "You, Commander of the Forbidden Army Chen Baoshan, you will have the opportunity to make contributions in the future."
On the side of the Qin Mansion, they were crying and fighting, and there was no peace.
Qin Xiaowen is the only child of the Qin family, and now being unconscious on the bed is a disaster for the entire Qin family.
Qin Gong's hands were shaking like a sieve. The imperial doctor from the palace had been in there all night, but no one came out for several hours.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhu felt that an opportunity had come, so he headed towards the study while others were not paying attention.
The brocade box beside the bed was indeed hidden very deep. If it weren't for what the maid said, he would never have been able to find it. Five hours had passed and Qin Xiaowen was about to wake up. Mr. Zhu
Escaped through the back door of the changing of the guard.
It is indeed unusual. People who want to rebel are cautious in everything they do, but after all, he is wrong after all.
Zhao Jin straightened up immediately when he saw this pile of letters. Since March last year, they had been discussing rebellion. These thieves really have ulterior motives.
It's just a good opportunity to destroy the majesty of the great family and give Wei a warning. Do you think that by bribing a first-grade official of Zhao, you can turn the whole Zhao into your pocket? It's ridiculous.
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered people to surround the entire Qin Mansion, and added many ambushes and cannons on the only road from Qin to Zhao to block their support.
That day, Duke Qin was shocked to realize how wrong he was.
At this moment, an old man in prison clothes staggered up to the temple. Before he could stand still, he was pushed by the guards behind him and fell to the ground.
This man was Qin Gong, a high-ranking official who once turned his hands into clouds and made rain in the court, but now he became a prisoner among his subordinates overnight.
The aristocratic families who used to be friends with him are now avoiding him, for fear of dragging down their own families.
And the person who can shake the fundamental interests of the aristocratic family is Zhao Jin who is standing on the palace steps.
Zhao Jin sat there quietly without saying anything, but his furrowed brows showed his imperial demeanor of not being angry or assertive.
Since the founding of the country, no one has ever been able to make aristocratic families so afraid.
"Master Qin, you can plead guilty."
After saying that, he threw the pile of letters of treason and treason in front of him, and Duke Qin laughed wildly.
"I am a high-ranking official, one person below ten thousand people, but now I have fallen into your hands. What retribution, hahahahaha."
Fukang scolded him sternly, "A bold thief who commits such an unforgivable act of adultery and treason has the nerve to disrupt the order of the court."
Qin Gong's eyes were bright red, and he said angrily amidst the horrifying noises, "How dare you, since when will it be your eunuch's turn to pick on me? You are just a dog. Let your master come out."
say."
Fukang's face turned red after hearing what he said. Zhao Jin waved his hand to ask him to step back.
Duke Qin cupped his hands towards Zhao Jin and said with a serious face, "Your Highness, this time I am truly convinced by you. I just hope that you can spare my wife and children."
Before Zhao Jin could answer, Qin Gong pointed at the officials behind him and said, "Since the investigation started from the scientific examination, then all the ministers have their share."
The officials were stunned and wanted to say something rude but were afraid, so they could only listen to him shouting at everyone.
After the scientific expedition came to an end, the Qin family's property was confiscated from the state treasury. Three days later, the Duke of Qin was beheaded outside Zhengyang Gate in public display. The adult men of the Qin family were exiled to Hainan and other places, and the female family members were all sold into slavery.
Other wealthy families who participated in the scientific examination were fined half a year's salary, and their children were not allowed to live in secret.
Since then, the rights of the wealthy families have been weakened, and many poor families have had better opportunities to enter and enter official careers.
Everyone in the world sighed that the prince was the one chosen by heaven to save the people from the fire and water. Although the emperor was still there, in their hearts, Zhao Jin had become a new generation of kings.
As for the wealthy families, their conflicts have completely intensified.
Zhao Jin has become a person that everyone talks about. Although the crown prince has been established, everything will turn around until the last moment.
The aristocratic clan has always maintained a consistent attitude towards the issue of suppressing the Han clan. At the same time, they are also quietly selecting a new crown prince.
After this incident, Zhao Xin had completely given up the idea of rebellion.
Behind the Qin family is the State of Wei, and behind the Duke of Qin are the entire aristocratic families of the State of Zhao. The fact that he could still be suppressed by Zhao Jin in a short period of time shows that Zhao Jin is not only a deep-minded person, but also good at strategy.
Although Zhao Jin left his two sons in the capital, their lives would not be in danger for the time being if they stayed safe.
As for Zhao Xin, he started back to the feudal kingdom early this morning.
Zhao Zhongru came in from the door and congratulated him, "Congratulations to your highness. Now, everyone inside and outside the city bows to your highness. Your highness will be able to unify the palace soon."
But Zhao Jin didn't feel any joy at all. He knew that everything he saw today was an illusion, and the real war had just begun.
Although these people in front of him were respectful and polite to him on the surface, behind the scenes they wanted to eat him alive.
Since these clan families were not allowed to secretly seal their children, the number of children from wealthy families in the officialdom has indeed decreased a lot, and they have been replaced by some rising stars from wealthy families.
This is easier for Zhao Jin to rule, but also the most difficult to deal with.
Looking at Zhao Zhongru with a solemn expression in front of him, Zhao Jin felt uneasy.
Once the vassal state is out of hand, the political power will be in danger once it is established. The person in front of me seems to be easy to control, but in fact he is a person who is good at pretending.
Zhao Zhongru indeed thought so. With Zhao Jin's support, it would be no problem for him to become the crown prince or even the middle king.
But if you continue to be a chess piece in his hands, how much use value do you have left?
What's more, her mother left only a few ministers to her. If she didn't return to the feudal kingdom at this moment, if something happened to her father, everything she had suffered and planned since she was a child would be in vain.
