The Eighth Prince decided to see Yue Shenglong's affairs after a few words. After Yue Shenglong knelt down to thank him, the Eighth Prince came forward and helped the other party up, and then comforted Yue Shenglong with kind words. At the same time, he also allowed someone to settle Yue Shenglong's residence well and not neglect it.

After Yue Shenglong knelt down and left, Ma Qi and others came in. When they saw everyone, the Eighth Prince first talked about Yue Shenglong's arrangements. Not only did everyone have no objection to this matter, but instead said that the Eighth Prince was properly employed. With Yue Shenglong in Sichuan, the southwest would be much more stable. This is an excellent chess move.

"Above, I just received the news that Emperor Zhu had confiscated the Fan family's property in Jiangnan a few days ago, and Fan Yuqiu, the third son of Fan Yichou, was even sentenced to death." Ma Qi stepped forward and said.

"When did it happen?" the Eighth Prince frowned and asked.

"Back to the top, it's what happened last month. Emperor Zhu has already told the world about this matter. This is an article written by Emperor Zhu instructed." Ma Qi took out a piece of paper and handed it over. After taking it, the eighth prince took it and looked carefully. It was indeed an article written here. This article was what Zhu Yicheng asked the Propaganda Department to create. It not only criticized the Fan family's crimes, but also dealt with the Bao family and Yan family. In addition, it was more of a call on the Ming people to indoctrinate the concept of the country.

This article is so scattered thousands of words. Although the writing style is not very good, almost mostly in vernacular, it is easy for people to understand the meaning. After reading this article, the Eighth Prince pondered for a moment, and his brows gradually became tight.

Fan Yuqi's son died, which was a big deal for the Fan family, but for the Qing Dynasty and the eighth prince, it was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

Not to mention that only Fan Yichou died, so what if Fan Yuqiu died? Just a slave, he would die. However, once this incident happened, it means that the Eighth Prince's previous plan to obtain a new firearm from the Ming Dynasty was completely shattered.

Moreover, as the head of the Fan family, Fan Yuqi is of some use to the Qing Dynasty. You should know that the Qing Dynasty's finances are deteriorating now. When he was in Beijing, he was already in a state of great concern. Now he is even more nervous when he is traveling in Xi'an. In addition, the Eighth Prince is now vigorously developing the development of the Qing Dynasty's firearms and training troops from all over the country. All these require money. The Fan family can be considered as the Eighth Prince's half a wallet. Since Fan Yuqi died his son for the Qing Dynasty, the Eighth Prince still needs to be comforted.

"Take someone to Shanxi, issue an order to appease Fan Yuqin, and give his eldest son a title of the Cavs. After all, he is working for the Qing Dynasty, so don't let the hearts of the people below be disgusted."

"The above clearly see that this matter will be arranged by the servant." Ma Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, he was worried that the Eighth Prince would have passed the matter like this. Now the Eighth Prince specially issued an order to appease Fan Yuqi, which is enough to show that the Eighth Prince's mind is still clear.

"Also, what do you think of this thing?" The Eighth Prince gave the paper written on the article to the eunuchs beside him, and asked the eunuchs to show to everyone present.

Except for Ma Qi who had seen it a long time ago, everyone looked at it one by one, and then everyone started talking.

The words were nothing more than anger and curse at Zhu Yicheng. At the same time, some people also suggested that Zhu Yicheng actually moved the Bao family and Yan family in Ningbo this time. Can you take this opportunity to think of a way to bribe those Ningbo merchants? You should know that the reason why Zhu Yicheng was able to become a big player in Ningbo is to reach this point today. These Ningbo merchants have great help. If you can take this opportunity to win over these people and make them alienate from the Ming Dynasty, it might be a great thing.

Among them, the tenth prince was the most excited about this, yelling that Zhu Yi was clearly raising pigs. Now that the pigs are fattened, he took this opportunity to use a knife or something.

Listening to everyone's discussion, although the Eighth Prince's expression remained unchanged, he felt a little disappointed. However, he noticed that Zhang Tingyu had not spoken, as if he was thinking.

"Zhang Hengchen, tell me your opinion." The Eighth Prince's heart moved and pointed his name directly.

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a while before saying, "Go back to the top, I think the one thing that is concerned about is not the Fan family, nor the Ningbo Bao family and Yan family."

"Oh, why did you say that?" The eighth prince asked with a smile.

Zhang Tingyu said: "The Fan family has had contacts and cooperation with our Qing Dynasty since the Ming Dynasty. The reason why Taizu Taizong and Shizu were able to defeat the Ming army repeatedly and finally enter the pass to win the world is that the Fan family has made great contributions. The above commended the Fan family and gave them the second-rank top priority, which is enough to prove this truth. In this way, it can be said that the Fan family has made contributions to our Qing Dynasty, but Yu Ming has a deep hatred. It is a matter of time before Emperor Zhu took action against the Fan family."

After a pause, Zhang Tingyu continued: "In fact, killing the Fan family and chasing the Fan family's property in Jiangnan is not a bad thing for our Qing Dynasty, but rather a good thing. His Fan family secretly made arrangements in the south. It is said that Fan Yichou is also a pseudonym, which is obviously a strategy for cunning rabbits to have three holes. Now that Fan Yichou is dead, the Fan family has no place to go except the Qing Dynasty. Instead, it has strengthened the Fan family's determination to be loyal to our Qing Dynasty, including the other families."

Zhang Tingyu's words made everyone realize that it was indeed the case. Thinking about this in turn was indeed a good thing for the Qing Dynasty. Not only did the Fan family have no way out except the Qing Dynasty.

Next, Zhang Tingyu talked about the Bao family and the Yan family. He talked in detail about the cooperation between the Ningbo family and the Ming Dynasty, and explained the difference between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, this time Zhu Yicheng only moved the Yan family, but let the Bao family go, and also used national justice to declare the world. In this case, merchants would not be disgusted with the Ming Dynasty, but would instead express disdain for the Yan family, so it is simply unrealistic to use this reason to win over those merchants.

"So, I think that what I am interested in is not the matter of the Fan family, Bao family or even Yan family, but the views of Emperor Zhu towards the country and the deceptive words in his article are the words that kill people. Just like everyone in the Ming Dynasty, this is the biggest trouble for me, the Qing Dynasty!"

"It's right!" The Eighth Prince nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Zhang Hengchen is indeed as meticulous as a hair, and knows the details. As Hengchen said, the most important thing in this article is, and these words are extremely bewitching, but I think that stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade, and that Emperor Zhu can do it, and that the sage has a saying, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, whether as a minister or a commoner, this is the duty!"
