Shui Rong didn't expect that Jia Yun would discover the shocking secret of the exchange between Emperor Tianzhi's son and Shuizhen's son.
It is not difficult to imagine that after Jia Yun knew this shocking secret, if Bu Wuniang informed him that he was Jia Zhuo, the so-called illegitimate son of Shui Zhen adopted by Bu Wuniang, based on Jia Yun's cleverness, it would not be difficult to deduce that,
He is the prince who was transferred back then.
"What happened? This matter is so confidential. How did Jia Yun find out? Could it be that Yao Sili betrayed us and took the initiative to confess to this matter?"
Currently, Shui Rong is sitting alone in the study, thinking depressedly.
Shui Rong knew that Yao Sili should be the only one in the Yao family who knew this shocking secret. As long as Yao Sili did not take the initiative to confess, it stands to reason that this shocking secret would not be leaked.
Therefore, Shui Rong believed that Yao Sili must have taken the initiative to confess the matter to Jinyi Mansion.
But, how dare Yao Sili?
Such a shocking secret, once Yao Sili confesses, he is destined to die, and the entire Yao family will not end well.
Even if Shui Rong was smart, mature and steady, he would never have thought that Yao Sili would actually write this shocking secret into a brilliant narrative, thus leaking the shocking secret...
It is not difficult to imagine that if Shuizhen learned of this now, he would definitely regret not killing Jia Yun back then.
The problem is that Shuizhen is not in Shenjing City at the moment. He is in Shengjing in the northeast. He has not returned to Shenjing City in nearly three years.
What to do now?
This is a very important and thorny issue. Shuizhen is not in Shenjing City, so Shuirong can only make the decision himself.
Shui Rong wanted to send someone to assassinate Jia Yun.
However, Jia Yun now has many cavalry in cavalry around her, even equipped with muskets, bows and arrows. It is difficult to kill. Even if Jia Yun can be killed, other people may already know the shocking secret, and Jia Yun may even have sent people to report it to heaven.
Rule the emperor...
And once this shocking secret was known to Emperor Tianzhi, Shui Rong knew that he would be in danger!
After much thought, Shui Rong decided to run away!
He was still very young and very ambitious. He did not want to die at a young age, nor did he want to be taken hostage by Emperor Tianzhi to use against his father Shuizhen.
He had discussed with Shuizhen that he could escape if he encountered a very critical situation. As long as he fled to the northeast, which was equivalent to the Shui family's territory, he would not be in danger.
The problem is, once he escapes, it means that the Shui family openly rebelled against Qing Dynasty.
Previously, although Emperor Kangxing and Shuizhen turned against each other because Shuizhen did not return to Beijing to report on his duties, Shuirong was forced to inherit Shuizhen's title in advance, which meant that the issue facing the Shui family was no longer whether to rebel, but whether to rebel.
The question is how to react and when to react.
But this falling out was not made public.
Once Shui Rong escaped, it would mean that the Shui family openly rebelled against Qing Dynasty.
Because according to the regulations negotiated between Qing Taizu and the Four Princes and Eight Dukes, part of the Four Princes and Eight Dukes must have their family members living in the imperial mansion in Shenjing City, and among them the eldest son is the most important.
Shui Rong, the eldest son, could not leave the capital without the emperor's permission.
If Shui Rong escaped quietly with a group of family members this time, it would be a crime of rebellion!
Even if the Shui family doesn't take the initiative to rebel, Emperor Tianzhi can still use the crime of rebellion to send troops to conquer the Shui family!
However, Shui Rong couldn't care less about this matter. For the sake of his own life, he would risk his life this time!
Thinking of this, Shui Rong immediately called Mihou to him again, and the two discussed their escape.
In fact, the Shui family had already been preparing for the escape of the family members of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing.
Shuizhen still cares about family ties and doesn't want his family members to suffer, especially his eldest son Shui Rong.
And with the secret layout of the Shui family, Shui Rong and other family members living in the Beijing Palace can escape smoothly.
…
…
In the middle of the night, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace, suddenly made an urgent request to see Emperor Tianzhi.
Emperor Tianzhi rested in the palace of Duanbi Qingwan that night. It was late at night, and it was close to the early morning, so he was naturally sleeping at this time.
Being woken up suddenly, Emperor Tianzhi was inevitably dissatisfied, but he did not neglect it, knowing that something urgent must happen.
If there was no urgent matter, Dai Quan would not dare to urgently ask to see him at this time. Dai Quan was his eunuch in charge of the palace, and secretly he was in charge of an army of his spies.
Immediately, under the service of Duan Concubine Qingwan, Emperor Tianzhi changed his clothes and got up, summoned Dai Quan, and was told by Dai Quan: "Your Majesty, Prince Shuirong of Beijing County and a group of his family members are missing!"
Emperor Tianzhi was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?"
Dai Quan said nervously: "Just now, someone came to report that Shui Rong and a group of his family members had left Shenjing City. Some officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were killed. I guess they... escaped!"
Emperor Tianzhi glared at Dai Quan fiercely and cursed angrily: "You bastard!"
Because he knew that the four kings might rebel, which meant that their family members living in the imperial residences of Shenjing City might escape, Emperor Tianzhi strictly monitored the four kings' imperial residences in Shenjing City. Dai Dai was responsible for this matter.
Quan was in charge, and there were spies sent by Dai Quan inside and outside the four kings' imperial palaces.
Now Shuirong suddenly ran away, and even ran away with a group of family members. In the eyes of Emperor Tianzhi, it was simply ridiculous. Dai Quan had neglected his duty!
Dai Quan lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me..."
Emperor Tianzhi continued to curse a few words, but for a moment he did not care about punishing Dai Quan. He immediately asked Dai Quan to investigate the matter. At the same time, he sent people to summon Ren Tianxiao, the admiral of the nine sects, Xia Yi, the minister of the bodyguard, and Xia Yi, the minister of the bodyguard.
Cao Wei asked Ren Tianxiao to also investigate the matter, and asked Cao Wei to lead the guard camp to pursue...
By the morning of this day, the matter had been roughly investigated.
Shuirong, the fourth generation king of Beijing County, and a group of his family members did escape at night, and in the process quietly killed some officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.
Two military attaches rebelled. One of them was in charge of night patrol that night, and the other was in charge of guarding Fucheng Gate in the west of Shenjing City...
The Prince's Palace of Beijing is located in the west city of Shenjing City, and after Shui Rong and his party escaped from the palace at night, they escaped from Shenjing City through Fucheng Gate in the west.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the next two days, Cao Wei, who led the guard camp to hunt, never returned to Shenjing City, but sent someone to report back to Emperor Tianzhi, Shui Rong and his party
The person fled all the way north, probably to Shengjing, and the Shui family deployed many people to support him along the way, making the pursuit very difficult...
Emperor Tianzhi no longer had any hope of hunting down Shui Rong and his party.
This time Emperor Tianzhi was really angry!
He had the same absurd and aggrieved feeling as when he faced the battle in the palace.
At the beginning, due to various reasons, the Tianmeng Sect gathered more than 300 rebels in Shenjing City to attack the palace. Although under the protection of Jia Yun and others, the result was not too bad.
However, this matter still made Emperor Tianzhi feel very absurd and aggrieved, and he even wrote an imperial edict to blame himself for it.
This time, the escape of Shui Rong and a group of his family members also made Emperor Tianzhi feel ridiculous and aggrieved.
At the same time, Emperor Tianzhi also became puzzled.
What I'm wondering is, why did Shui Xiong suddenly run away?
Emperor Tianzhi knew Shui Rong well and knew that Shui Rong was smart, mature and steady. He also knew that Shuizhen valued Shui Rong very much, which meant that Shui Rong could not have known that he was betraying the Qing Dynasty by running away with a group of family members.
Emperor Tianzhi can use the crime of rebellion to send troops to conquer the Shui family...
Emperor Tianzhi thought about it and found that there were only two reasons for this.
One is that the Shui family is about to rebel.
The problem is that although the Shui family is powerful, if they start a rebellion, there is not much hope of success, not to mention that Emperor Tianzhi has already prepared a lot of military pay.
The second is that something major happened suddenly.
What is the major change?
At this moment, Emperor Tianzhi received a document sealed with lacquer from Jia Yun.
Jia Yun wrote in the document that he had completed the imperial order entrusted to him by Emperor Tianzhi this time and had led the Jinyi cavalry back to Beijing.
In addition, Jia Yun also mentioned in the document that he had discovered a shocking secret in Yangzhou this time, and it was inconvenient to report it in detail in the document. He would report it to Emperor Tianzhi in detail after he returned to Beijing.
Emperor Tianzhi read the document carefully three times.
After reading it, Emperor Tianzhi thought that Shui Rong's sudden escape might have something to do with Jia Yun!
It may be because the Shui family had too much corruption in the Lianghuai Salt Industry and was discovered by Jia Yun. When Shui Rong learned about this, he became worried and ran away.
It may also be related to the shocking secret mentioned by Jia Yun.
It has to be said that Emperor Tianzhi is indeed a smart emperor, and he has already guessed the truth of the matter.
Therefore, Emperor Tianzhi was particularly looking forward to Jia Yun's return this time.
After Jia Yun returns, Emperor Tianzhi may reveal the reason for Shui Rong's sudden escape.
Moreover, after Jia Yun returned, it meant that Emperor Tianzhi could have more than one million taels worth of the criminal silver paid by the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou. It also meant that Emperor Tianzhi could immediately use the account books to sue corrupt officials in the Lianghuai Salt Industry.
Officials are asking for crime money...
Emperor Tianzhi now feels that he is short of money again!
Because once the Shui family rebelled, Emperor Tianzhi would have to spend a huge amount of military pay!
Emperor Tianzhi also felt sad for this.
Ever since Emperor Tianzhi ascended the throne, he seems to have been troubled by the lack of money.
Originally, Jia Yun increased the wealth of Emperor Tianzhi through the confiscation of his house and the coal mine business. However, Emperor Tianzhi wanted to prepare military pay for the rebellion of the Four Kings. In this case, Jia Yun increased the wealth of Emperor Tianzhi through the confiscation of his house and the coal mine business.
The income brought by the emperor is not enough.
Fortunately, Jia Yun still lived up to her expectations this time, and her imperial mission to go south to Yangzhou was still fulfilled.
Thinking of this, Emperor Tianzhi appreciated Jia Yun more.
It can be said that Emperor Tianzhi now really appreciates Jia Yun.
In the eyes of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun, a prodigy from heaven, was truly his blessed general. He was only young and had only grown up last year, but he had already made great contributions.
From the battle in the palace, to the capture of Eunuch Pang, to the proposed coal mine project, to the southward march to Huainan, to becoming the commander of the Jinyi Mansion to rectify the cronies of the four kings in the court, to this time to the southward march to Yangzhou...
All in all, in just a few years, Jia Yun had already made great contributions, never let Emperor Tianzhi down, and brought great benefits to Emperor Tianzhi.
"snort!"
However, at this time, when Emperor Tianzhi thought of Jia Yun's achievements, he subconsciously "hummed".
Emperor Tianzhi was really a ruthless and profit-oriented emperor who was very rational and less emotional!
Although Jia Yunli's contribution was great, Emperor Tianzhi appreciated him very much.
However, in the eyes of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun was just a chess piece in his hands after all.
Emperor Tianzhi has made good use of this chess piece. After this chess piece returned to Beijing from Yangzhou, the court must be very hostile to him. Many officials must have impeached him, including many relatives of the emperor.
Princes and ministers...
Before Jia Yun went south to Yangzhou this time, Emperor Tianzhi said in front of Jia Yun that Jia Yun should not be afraid of offending anyone when she goes south to Yangzhou to fulfill the emperor's orders. As long as Jia Yun's investigation is true, no matter who it is, even if it is Prince County.
King, he will also protect Jia Yun from revenge.
Jun Wu said, Emperor Tianzhi was serious about what he said, and he had no intention of going back on his word.
However, Emperor Tianzhi only planned to keep Jia Yun in the near future, mainly because, in Emperor Tianzhi's view, Jia Yun was still of great use to him.
Emperor Tianzhi also planned that in the near future, when Jia Yun would be less useful to him and the court would become more hostile to Jia Yun, and when the Supreme Emperor died, he would abandon Jia Yun as a chess piece.
Emperor Tianzhi knew that this so-called near future should not be long, only one or two years, because the Supreme Emperor should only live for that long.
In the Tianzhi Emperor, a prodigy like Jia Yun was destined to be used as a pawn by the emperor, and he should also devote himself to his death for the emperor.
As the saying goes, everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
Haha, you, Jia Yun, are blessed with great luck?
That’s not true!
This world belongs to me, Emperor Tianzhi, and all the luck in this world also belongs to him, Emperor Tianzhi. You, a minister with a different surname, have such great luck, isn't it equivalent to seizing my luck?
When you die, your luck will be mine, or at least it will be scattered in my land!
Haha, you Jia Yun proposed the great cause of coal mining, went south to Huainan to rectify private coal, and created a lot of wealth for me, the emperor, through the great cause of coal mining. But as a court official, you actually dared to cooperate with merchants to build coal mining factories and make a lot of money from it.
Special profit.
That’s not true!
All the money in the world belongs to me, the emperor, especially land and resources like coal mines. Isn’t your behavior, Jia Yun, equivalent to robbing me of my wealth?
Just wait, I won't be polite and will confiscate all your property!
Don’t you, Jia Yun, like to raid homes as much as I do?
It's a pity that you don't have the noble fate of the emperor like me. I am the emperor, and it is natural for me to confiscate many homes. But if you, Jia Yun, confiscate too many homes, you are destined to be repaid by having your homes confiscated in the future!
…
…
At this time, Jia Yun was on her way back to Shenjing City.
On the way, he didn't know that Emperor Tianzhi, who was far away in the palace of Shenjing City, was "thinking about" him so much.
Just as Emperor Tianzhi still doesn't know what kind of shocking secret Jia Yun brought back to Beijing this time, and this shocking secret will change Emperor Tianzhi's "concern" for Jia Yun...
