Hearing Yun's words, Min'er hurriedly covered her mouth and let go after a while, but she still didn't fully come back to her senses.
"Min'er, if you have nothing else to do, go back first." Yun said again. He usually spends the most time with Queen Min'er and the children of Concubine Hui, and he spends most of his time with Miaojin's children.
Young Master, it was the Chinese New Year and we finally spent some time with Wen and others, but Min'er disturbed them again. Miaojin didn't react on the surface, but she wasn't sure how to complain in her heart.
"Yes, Dad." Uncle An Wang almost died, and Min'er also knew how big of a deal this was. She immediately did not dare to plead for Tang Saier anymore, bowed and left. But leaving Miaojin's Yanxi Palace
After that, Min'er immediately ordered her maid: "Sister-in-law has been in the palace these two days, hasn't she?"
"It is true that Mrs. Lu Guogong (title of Wen) is pregnant. In the past few days, Concubine Ming asked the officials for permission to bring her into the palace." Mo'er answered.
"Come on, let's go see my eldest sister-in-law and ask her to tell the servants in the mansion to pay more attention. If any news comes out about how to deal with the Tang family, please tell me." Min'er said.
"Miss, this is not appropriate!" Mo'er said immediately: "The officials definitely don't want the lady to pry into matters related to government affairs."
"Where are you thinking! I just beg my sister-in-law to ask someone to inquire about public affairs. We are in the palace, and we may not know anything even if it is written in the newspaper. Let my sister-in-law tell the servants to pay attention to the notices posted in the yamen. If it is relevant
Just tell me how to deal with the Tang family. It's not about spying on the government." Min'er said.
"Besides, even if I want my father to deal with the Tang family more lightly, I won't go through my sister-in-law. I have other ways." Min'er said with a smile again.
…
…
After Min'er left, Yun talked with Miaojin and several children for a while, had dinner and then rested for a while. He got up early the next morning and was having breakfast with Miaojin when he saw the original
Lu Yi, who was standing at the door, came over and whispered in his ear: "The official family, Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, wants to see you."
"He?" Yun was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "Could it be that a confession has been obtained?"
"Guan, what you said is right." Lu Yidao said: "The young eunuch who came to deliver the message said that Commander Qin said that he had obtained a confession."
Hearing this, although Yun was a little curious about how Qin Song got the confession so quickly, he still speeded up, finished a bowl of noodles in a few seconds, wiped his mouth again, and said to Miaojin: "I wanted to have a confession this morning."
I continue to talk to you, but I have something urgent to deal with."
"My husband will handle the government affairs on his own, so I won't worry about my concubine." Miao Jin said immediately.
"By the way, do you want to meet Yingxu?" Yun thought for a moment and then asked.
"Well, of course I want to meet my second brother." Miao Jin was a little surprised, but replied immediately.
"Get ready at noon. My husband will send someone to ask you to have dinner with you at Qianqing Palace." Yun said.
"Thank you, husband." Miao Jin thanked her hurriedly. Although Yun allowed the father and brother of the concubine in the inner palace to come to the palace for an interview every half month, Xu Yingxu was such a cautious person and was afraid of arousing Yun's taboo, so he had not asked for an interview for some days.
Yes, Miao Jin missed her second brother very much. Of course she was happy to get permission from Yun to meet.
"We husband and wife have nothing to thank each other." Yun said with a smile, and left Yanxi Palace with Lu Yi and others, heading towards Qianqing Palace. After he left, Miao Jin immediately started to choose clothes for meeting her second brother at noon.
jewelry.
Not long after, Yun walked to Qianqing Palace, and Qin Song saw him and hurriedly saluted. Yun exchanged a few words with him, and asked directly without saying much, "But did you get He Miao's confession?"
"Exactly. Your Majesty, not only that, I have also compared it with Tang Jingyu's confession and confirmed that most of what they said is the truth." Qin Song said.
"Already compared? Why did He Miao confess so quickly? You weren't going to be tortured, were you?" Yun Ji was a little happy, but immediately asked in a reproachful tone. After he learned that Tang Jingyu and Li Moli were in trouble anyway, Finally, it was decided that the two of them should continue to perform meritorious service and annihilate the White Lotus sect in various places. They even planned to let them join the Jinyi Guards in the future and be responsible for annihilating the White Lotus sect. Because they had betrayed the White Lotus sect, the remaining White Lotus sects must hate them deeply, and they also There is no possibility of betraying the imperial court, so it is very suitable for such things.
In this case, even if their family members had to be interrogated to determine whether Tang Jingyu and Mo Li were carrying out counterintuitive schemes, they could not be punished severely. He Miao didn't know that Tang Jingyu had changed his mind anyway, and even if he heard Qin Song's words, he might not believe it. Why was it so easy to get her confession?
"Didn't I tell you that you should never use severe punishment, so why did you use severe punishment?" The more Yun thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right, and he scolded again.
"Your Majesty, I did not impose severe punishment!" Qin Song explained hurriedly: "I sent people to arrest the family members of Tang Jingyu and Mo Li and put them behind the Jinyi Guards. Mo Li's family members were unwilling to confess, so I used some means to do so. They were willing to confess; but Tang Jingyu's wife He Miao quickly confessed, only begging the minister not to impose punishment on his daughter Tang Saier. Moreover, Tang Jingyu's confession from Suzhou also said that he cared about his daughter anyway. ."
"It's strange that they dote on their daughter so much." Yun commented a few words, then asked again and again that Qin Song didn't use torture or send anyone to humiliate them, and asked: "Have they confessed where they came from? Who sent them? Come? What is the current situation of the White Lotus Sect? How do they usually communicate with the sect? What have they done in Beijing these years?..." Yun Yi asked many questions in succession.
Qin Song answered one by one: "Your Majesty, they confessed that they belonged to the Shandong Altar of the White Lotus Sect, and the person who arranged for him to come to the capital, that is, the owner of the Shandong Altar was named Peng Ju. It was said that he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the late Yuan Dynasty. Peng Yingyu's descendants, Peng Yingyu fled to Shandong after fighting against the heavenly soldiers and was destroyed, and hid in Binzhou, Shandong. The reason why they were in Kaifeng was because the White Lotus Congregation in Handan, Hebei at that time planned to cause some trouble and needed manpower, so They were sent to support them, but before they arrived, the local government found out that there were restless White Lotus believers in the area, and they immediately exterminated them, and they returned to Binzhou, Shandong Province. Because at that time, eastern Hebei Province strictly inspected pedestrians passing by, so they went south When we came down to Kaifeng, we had to go back that way. The Hebei Chief Envoy also reported this to His Majesty at that time."
Yun nodded. After learning about the incident in Suzhou yesterday, he ordered Wang Xi to find all the memorials about the White Lotus Sect and found this memorial. And although times have changed, he planned to use other things to attack the then Chief Minister. The prefect and county magistrate will then give rewards.
"Later, after they were released by His Majesty and returned to their hometown, the altar leader Peng Ju thought this was a great opportunity to bury people in the capital, so he asked them to go to the Zhou Palace. In order to prevent them from arousing the suspicion of the court, he asked them to leave their wives and children They also brought them all to the capital. However, Tang Jingyu only had one daughter, so he had to bring her; Mo Li and others did not bring all their children to the capital."
"The White Lotus Sect currently has six altars, namely the Hebei Altar, Shandong Altar, Shanxi Altar, Henan Altar, Huguang Altar and Sichuan Altar. The White Lotus Sect in other places is very weak and belongs to the above altars. Among them, Zhili
The White Lotus believers in Jianghuai and Zhejiang provinces are under the jurisdiction of Shandong Temple. As for how many believers there are now, they don't know much. Tang Jingyu is just an incense owner, and the others are not even incense owners. Although they are not ordinary believers,
But they don’t know many things. But they know roughly that the imperial court has dealt very harshly with the White Lotus Sect in recent years. The rebellions in the 30th year of Hongwu and the 6th year of Jianye killed many White Lotus followers, causing great losses to the White Lotus Sect.
, I no longer dare to make any changes, and I am also very cautious in preaching."
"They haven't done much in the past few years in the capital. They were originally sent to the capital to get important information and send it back. But King Runan didn't have any errands, and they couldn't find out much information. They only passed on two
Three pieces of not-so-important news." Having said this, Qin Song took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yun, and then said, "What is written on it is the news they have sent back over the years."
Yun took it and took a look at it, feeling a little relieved. Some of these things were considered very confidential at the time, but times have long since changed, and they are not of much use in strengthening the White Lotus Sect.
"How many White Lotus believers are there in Zhili and northern Zhejiang? In addition to the Dan family, are there other believers whose families have a large fortune, or are there believers who are officials in the court?" Yun asked again. First of all,
What needs to be eradicated are the White Lotus sects in the Jiangnan area. The Dan family was actually able to set off a rebellion in Suzhou, especially among those who participated in the rebellion. It was obvious that there were martial arts masters who were not from the Dan family. This made Yun very vigilant: the White Lotus sect suddenly sent so many martial arts masters.
What he came to Suzhou for, even if he didn't plan to rebel in Suzhou, he must be doing something. He must eradicate all the White Lotus cultists in the Jiangnan area.
"Your Majesty, there are very few White Lotus believers in the south of the Yangtze River. They have been basically eradicated as early as the Hongwu period. The only believers with property in their families are the Dan family, and the rest are scattered believers. I have ordered the Jinyiwei yamen across the south of the Yangtze River to follow the instructions of Tang Jingyu and others
He was arrested based on his confession.”
"We must arrest all the believers!" Yun said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely arrest all the White Lotus believers!" Qin Song said hurriedly.
"What on earth did those White Lotus Sect martial arts masters passing through Suzhou come to Jiangnan to do?" Yun asked again.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very strange." After hearing Yun's question, Qin Song replied with a strange expression: "They are actually sent by the White Lotus Sect in Hebei, Henan and other altars to go to the Dan family to learn how to do business."
"Because the White Lotus Sect has been repeatedly suppressed by the government, they are very cautious in preaching, especially to wealthy families. This makes them more difficult to detect, but also makes it more and more difficult for them to raise money. To alleviate this situation, it is just a pill
The family also ran overseas businesses and made huge profits, which made Shandong Temple rich in money. Other altars could not take the Dan family away from Shandong Temple, so they sent people to the Dan family to learn how to do overseas business and earn money.
."
Hearing Qin Song's words, Yun was stunned for a moment. He never thought that those martial arts masters actually went to Dan's house to learn Buddhist scriptures and learn how to do business. After a while, he thought to himself: 'It seems that the economy is
First of all, the 'ancients' will never deceive me.'
