Chu Huan understood, and said, "So, the purpose of Lin Qingyuan's desperate resistance is to keep the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty?"

"In fact, this is also a reasonable thing." Yuan Chongshang said: "Although the Western Tang Dynasty was established for only a dozen years, the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty has rebuilt the Lin family and his son. Even marrying Princess Xitang to Lin Qingyuan, the Lin family father and son can be regarded as loyal people, and it is not a strange thing to protect the Lord of the West Tang both publicly and privately in the face of national crisis."

"General Feng agreed to Xitang's request?"

"Actually, the Holy Majesty did not advocate leaving harm at that time." Yuan Chongshang said in a low voice: "The lords and lords surrendered to our Great Qin, but the situation forced them, and few of them were willing. What happened? However, regarding the matter of Xitang, the Holy Majesty was merciful and agreed to Xitang's request. Later, the Lord of Xitang was taken to Luoanjing, and lived a comfortable life."

"The Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty is still there?" Chu Huan asked.

A strange look flashed across Yuan Chongshang's eyes, and he just smiled lightly and said, "Seven years ago, I got a serious illness and died already."

Chu Huan was taken aback.

Yuan Chongshang picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and then said, "Lin Qingyuan was already the General of Youtunwei at that time, but he still wore mourning for the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, and he personally carried the coffin for the funeral, so he was a loyal man."

"Then why was Lin Qingyuan punished later?" Chu Huan asked in a low voice, "How did he die?"

Yuan Chongshang thought for a while, then smiled unpredictablely, and said: "It's hard to say clearly, Master Chu, you said that Lin Qingyuan's sword skills are weird, it's true, he really has a good sword skill... Assassins, it is really possible that they are related to the remnants of Lin Qingyuan, Lin Qingyuan was convicted at the beginning, his family members got the news, and some of them escaped, and those people may have taken refuge in the Heavenly Sect."

Chu Huan saw that Yuan Chongshang had nothing to say about Lin Qingyuan's death, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The ultimate goal of Tianmen Dao and the officers and soldiers competing for Shaozi Ridge is, of course, for a large number of weapons and equipment stored in Qianlong Cave. It was hoarded by Tianmen Dao with painstaking efforts, but was attacked by officers and soldiers to occupy Qianlong Cave.

Of course, Tianmen Dao will not give up on this. Their secret base is located in Shaoziling, so naturally they will not relax their temptation to the people around Shaoziling. After the Dragon Cave, in order to recapture the weapons and equipment in the Qianlong Cave, Tianmen Dao immediately gathered Tianmen Taoist disciples and launched an attack on Shaoziling.

Fang Shihao led hundreds of people to guard the main roads of Qianlong Cave, and finally held out until the reinforcements arrived. In addition, the people who were tortured by the Tianmen Dao in Qianlong Cave finally stood up under the encouragement of the officers and soldiers. The disciples complained bitterly about the cold-blooded cruelty of Tianmen Daoists. Although most Tianmen Daoists were skeptical, and some even thought that these coolies were persecuted by officers and soldiers to turn black and white, but in the end it had a great negative impact on the morale of Tianmen Daoists.

The officers and soldiers repelled the Tianmen Daoists. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Yuan Chongshang immediately ordered the armory of Qianlong Cave to be transported to the nearest county seat near Shaoziling.

Yuan Chongshang knew very well that the war in the southeast was raging and the national treasury was empty. The southeast side needed a large amount of supplies, whether it was luggage, ordnance, grain, grass, or war horses. They were all in short supply. The large amount of weapons and equipment captured by Shaoziling could just be transported to the southeast. In an emergency, the weapons are temporarily left in the county town near Shaoziling. As long as His Majesty the Emperor issues a decree to transport the materials to the southeast, the transportation from there will reduce some distances.

Both Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang were waiting for the imperial court's order, and the imperial court did not procrastinate. It took only ten days for the two of them to submit the documents to the imperial court, and the capital's order had already arrived.

It was Chu Huan's old acquaintance who came to deliver the decree, Lang Wuxu, the left servant who also belonged to the household department.

Seeing Lang Wuxu, Chu Huan was really surprised. When Lang Wuxu saw Chu Huan, he was enthusiastic, holding Chu Huan's hand, like an old friend reunited after a long absence, in front of Yuan Chongshang and other officials, Repeatedly said: "Master Chu, I miss you so much. At the household department, without Master Chu, it is really deserted."

Chu Huan was a little embarrassed, he broke away from Lang Wuxu's hand calmly, and welcomed Lang Wuxu back to the Governor's Mansion with all the officials. After entering the Governor's Mansion, Lang Wuxu immediately issued the imperial edict.

According to the intention of the imperial court, the seized property, food and grass should be transported to the capital immediately. Huang Tianyi and other important rebels don't have to be escorted to the capital, but ordered to be executed on the spot.

The so-called beheading on the spot is of course not a secret. Execution.

The purpose was very clear, Huang Tianyi was the first offender, and the purpose of carrying out a beheading with great fanfare was to let those with ulterior motives see that the imperial court has never been soft on rebellious parties.

What Chu Huan is most concerned about is how to deal with Guifang. He has already made detailed suggestions on how to arrange Guifang people in the notebook. The emperor is not disappointed this time. Huan decided that if the Huang family's manor near Daqimeng Mountain could be allocated according to the number of ghosts' heads, because Chu Huan mentioned Gui Fangping's credit for destroying Huang's family in the booklet, so the emperor even made a decision. The decree is to exempt Guifang from taxes for three years.

There are less than 2 people in Guifang, even if it is assigned to the manor, the area will not be too much. Compared with the tens of millions of people in the empire, the tax of 2 people is not worth mentioning, but it shows the emperor's grace mighty.

Yuan Chongshang was very nervous from the very beginning. In this incident, he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but he also made contributions. He didn't know how the moody emperor would deal with him.

After Lang Wuxu announced the emperor's punishment, Yuan Chongshang breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was obviously lenient towards Yuan Chongshang, but he was only fined for two years, and his position as governor was also deprived. Even so, the emperor Obviously, he also understands that the current situation of Anyi is not suitable for mobilizing Yuan Chongshang, so Yuan Chongshang is still allowed to act as the governor of Anyi temporarily to see the effect.

Yuan Chongshang was very grateful to Chu Huan when he felt relaxed.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, so of course he understands the key points. Chu Huan did not break his promise. He made it very clear in the emperor's will. Yuan Chongshang certainly knew that the so-called contribution was huge, and Chu Huan must have helped him.

It's just that the last decree surprised Yuan Chongshang, Chu Huan and others. The emperor's decree, Chu Huan resettled Gui Fang as soon as possible. Zuo Shilang took care of it.

Although Chu Huan was a little surprised, he was not disgusted. In fact, he was not interested in such tedious matters as dealing with accounts, and as he expected, he was about to clean up the Huang family's assets. It is not something that can be completed in a month or two. The assets of the Huang family are all over the whole of Anyi Road, and now they are only liquidating the assets here in Taiyuan. This matter is extremely cumbersome. It was also something Chu Huan was very willing to do.

However, the emperor sent Lang Wuxu to take over these affairs, which surprised Chu Huan, thinking that the emperor actually valued Lang Wuxu a bit, and entrusted him with such important tasks.

Naturally, Lang Wuxu couldn't hide his happy face, not because he took over the fat job, but because the emperor reused him, which made him very proud. It should be known that he was originally a member of the Hanwang Party, and was even a confidant of Duke Anguo at one time, but Later, through Chu Huan, he was transferred to King Qi's family. Now the An Guogong family has been wiped out, and the King of Han is even more insane, but Lang Wuxu still sits firmly on the left servant of the household department, and is even reused by the emperor. How can this make Lang Wuxu not? proud.

He is not only proud of the emperor's respect, but also proud of his own wisdom. He was able to abandon the king of Han and switch to the king of Qi at the most dangerous time. Lang Wuxu only thinks that his political wisdom is really great. Already buried with An Guogong.

Lang Wuxu was originally from Anyi Dao, and when he came back to Anyi this time, he could be regarded as returning to his hometown. The Lang family was considered a wealthy family in Anyi Dao, although it was not as prestigious as the Huang family in Anyi Dao, but But there are also some contacts. Lang Wuxu is full of confidence in his ability to handle the affairs left by Chu Huan, and when he returns to his hometown, he also has a sense of satisfaction of returning home.

After the welcome banquet, Lang Wuxu and Chu Huan returned to Taiyuan Xingyuan together. Lang Wuxu is also a Beijing official, so when he came to Taiyuan, he naturally had to stop in Taiyuan Xingyuan.

Xingyuan had already tidied up Lang Wuxu's residence, but Lang Wuxu was not in a hurry to rest. He drank a few more glasses at the banquet, his head was excited, and he insisted on staying beside Chu Huan, full of flattery. Reuse is for the face of the King of Qi, and he really regards himself as a member of the King of Qi's party, and he understands even more that although Chu Huan has been an official in the court for a short time, at least he has the qualifications and weight in the King of Qi's party. He was much taller than himself, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Qi royal party, Chu Huan had to win him over firmly.

Chu Huan knew what Lang Wuxu was like, and those flattering words came in one ear and out the other. On the contrary, it was Lang Wuxu who mentioned the matter in Beijing, which made Chu Huan spirit up.

"Your Majesty Chu doesn't know that His Majesty is already preparing to set up a mansion for His Royal Highness King Qi." Lang Wuxu's eyes flashed, "Perhaps it won't be long before His Highness can leave the palace and enter the mansion."

"Leaving the palace and entering the mansion?"

Lang Wuxu nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, His Royal Highness and the King of Han opened the mansion very early, and His Highness has been in the palace all the time. Although there was a Qi Wang Mansion when His Majesty granted His Highness the title of King Qi, His Highness has never moved in. , and did not officially open the mansion. This time, the officials have already reported that His Highness is eighteen years old, and he has already passed the age of opening a mansion. At this time, he can leave the palace to open the mansion... It's just that the empress is worried about His Highness, and she didn't agree. But when I left the capital, I had already heard that the Holy Majesty seemed to be ready to let His Highness leave the palace and open the palace."

Chu Huan's eyes flickered, thoughtful.
