His Majesty's personal arrival caused great turmoil in the city. Many prominent families were controlled by soldiers sent by Marching Sima. Situ Xing destroyed all the bandits' private soldiers, but these private soldiers had nothing to do with him on the surface. These private soldiers were eliminated.
He is still the supervisor of Jiangnan Road and controls the entire Jiangnan Road's heavy troops.
In Jiangnan Road, he can still cover the sky with one hand.
The death of Uncle Wen Yuan, the head of the Wen family, caused countless prominent families to panic. They were not as courageous as those in Hangzhou, and they did not dare to be hostile to His Majesty, who was in great power, and the already frustrated Jiangnan Province Supervisor, and they did not have enough status like Li Ye.
With prestigious people, secretly connect with all opposing forces.
After the turmoil, the final result was that these aristocratic families and merchants honestly gave Situ Xing real money and silver to plug the hole. Six million taels was enough to break the bones of these aristocratic families.
Situ Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the silver coins in the hall.
He ordered his men to visit outside the city at any time, so that as soon as His Majesty arrived, he would know as soon as possible.
Outside Yuezhou City, a team was walking slowly. After a day's rest, Qin Huaidao led several generals towards Yuezhou City, enjoying the scenery along both sides.
Cheng Chumo was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, we are about to reach Yuezhou City, why don't we speed up a little bit? Wouldn't it be dangerous if we encounter some bandits along the way?"
Qin Huaidao laughed endlessly: "Haha, Chu Mo, your father is bright and rough, but you have not inherited it at all. After the battle at Yuecheng Mountain, are there any bandits in Jiangnan Road? They are all my people, do you understand?
"
Cheng Chumo shook his head, not quite understanding.
In desperation, Qin Huaidao had no choice but to turn his attention to Li Shuang'er. The two of them had been getting closer and closer recently, and Li Shuang'er was able to knock Cheng Chumo's wooden head off.
Seeing that His Majesty was interested in taking the school entrance examination, Li Shuang'er thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "I guess it's because the bandits in the Yuecheng Mountain battle have a wide reputation throughout Jiangnan Road. Now His Majesty has wiped out 50,000 bandits in one battle with only a thousand men.
It is enough to deter other forces. If they don’t want to end up with the same fate as these 50,000 people, the bandits in Jiangnan Road will probably disappear and go down the mountain to be good."
"Correct answer," Qin Huaidao raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Li Shuang'er, then turned to look at Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, if you two get married in the future, you should ask Mrs. Cheng for advice."
When Cheng Waimo, a hard-blooded man, mentioned the word Mrs. Cheng, his blood pressure suddenly surged and his face turned red with embarrassment.
The army walked all the way, and finally reached the foot of Yuezhou City under the ridicule of everyone.
The outside of Yuezhou City had already been decorated with great fanfare under the leadership of Situ Xing. With the arrival of Qin Huaidao, Situ Xing first led the officials and the people in the city to pay homage to Qin Huaidao, and then led many folk artists to beat gongs and drums to express their greetings to His Majesty's arrival.
After a lot of welcome and excitement, Qin Huaidao walked out of the carriage under the eyes of countless people.
Facing the eyes of the people, he was full of confidence, and his loud voice spread throughout Yuezhou City.
"I, Emperor Qin Huaidao of the Han Dynasty, have worked hard since the founding of the country to ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Today, I am touring the world in order to realize my reforms. All people in the world are created equal, and the people are the masters of their own affairs. In the city of Yuezhou, everyone is the master of the country.
If there is any injustice, I can redress it during this period."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in Jiangnan Province were panicked. They didn't expect that the first thing His Majesty did when he came to Yuezhou City was to ask the people to redress their grievances?
Situ Xing glanced at Su Wuwei, who immediately understood what he should do.
These people cannot be allowed close to His Majesty.
Then Situ Xing came up to him with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the whole Jiangnan Road has been in good weather, people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has a prosperous life. Where did the grievances come from? Your Majesty, please move to Taofu. I have ordered people from the mansion
You are well prepared, Your Majesty must have been working hard from the long journey."
"Live and work in peace and contentment?" Qin Huaidao glanced at the highest-ranking official of Jiangnan Road, with a rather accusatory tone: "I was besieged by fifty thousand bandits in Yuecheng Mountain the day before yesterday. The supervisor will not know about it, right? If it is true,
If you want to live and work in peace and contentment, how come so many ordinary people turn into bandits and cause cholera in Jiangnan Road?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials including Situ Xing trembled in their hearts. What were the backgrounds of the fifty thousand bandits? These officials were more or less qualified. His Majesty showed his power in a battle, but these fifty thousand bandits failed to achieve results. And
Who dares to face His Majesty's army of thousands of men?
Nowadays, when people are held accountable, it can range from beheading to killing the nine clans. One mistake is a capital crime, and no one dares to admit it.
Even Situ Xing was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The bandits moved too fast. They surrounded the mountain before I could find them. I waited for the officials to count the soldiers and prepare to support your Majesty. I never thought
Your Majesty has finished the fight, and I have neglected my duty. Please punish me."
He knew very well that such a big thing had happened, and if His Majesty was not allowed to vent his anger, the matter would be difficult to deal with. However, if he really took the blame for the rebellion, it would be better to rebel completely and then mobilize the government troops to fight against His Majesty.
But after the fighting outside the city, Situ Xing really didn't dare to fight again.
How could Qin Huaidao not see this guy's little thoughts? So many bandits suddenly appeared in the entire Jiangnan Dao. If they said that they had nothing to do with the Taoist government, they would not believe it. They just wanted to wipe out the other party's vitality, and the other party would probably not move again.
Thoughts, since this was the case, there was no need for him to rush.
If he was really anxious, a dog could jump over the wall. He had no doubt that Situ Xing would rebel immediately.
As for the administration of officials, wait until he returns to Chang'an and let the people from the Ministry of State deal with him slowly.
"Humph, you have indeed neglected your duty. There are so many bandits in Jiangnan Road. How did you become the supervisor? If something like this happens again, I don't think you need to be the supervisor anymore. You can send it to the Yellow River to build the embankment.
"Qin Huaidao snorted coldly.
Although His Majesty was angry, the officials heard other meanings from these words.
First of all, the bandits attacked His Majesty. Your Majesty did not blame them. This matter is temporarily over. On the contrary, the crime of dereliction of duty is unavoidable. Compared with treason, this crime is a trivial matter.
The second is that His Majesty does not intend to re-examine the crime of dereliction of duty. Situ Xing's position as the supervisor has been saved. Since even the supervisor is fine, the rest of the officials will not have much trouble.
It's just that you still have to pay the money you need, and you still have to be soft when you need to be soft.
All of a sudden, all the officials knelt down to thank His Majesty for his great kindness.
As the supervisor of Jiangnan Province, Situ Xing felt the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
