Chapter 89
: Nothing tolerate
After Su Hong left the palace, he arranged for Mingjing to monitor the people from the three major families and reported them immediately whenever there was any situation.
After the news of the Nanxiang riot came, there was no movement in the palace for several days, which made people think a lot. Deng Sheng meant that.
Deng Yong came here again in the Liyang Marquis Mansion. The calm these days made him notice the strangeness and felt very worried, so he wanted to discuss it with Cai Feng.
"Cai Xiang, what do you mean by the king? I have been ignoring this matter in the past few days. Is the king really planning to calm down?" Deng Yong asked in confusion.
Cai Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think this short peace is just a sign of the coming of a storm. I'm afraid the king is really going to take action."
"How do you say this?" Although the calm these days seemed a bit strange, Deng Yong could not see any tricks.
Cai Feng looked around and then whispered: "I have received the news. After Fan Zhongyan, the Minister of Justice, reported to the king about Nanxiang a few days ago, the king summoned Su Hong, the Minister of War."
"Su Hong!" Deng Yong was a little surprised. Ordinary people may not know the seriousness of this, but as the Secretary of the State of the Court, he was very clear. In Su Hong's hands, he had the mirror of Deng's highest intelligence organization. Deng Sheng summoned him at this time, and even a fool could guess what Deng Sheng wanted to do.
Cai Feng nodded intriguingly and said, "Yes, you and I know very well what Su Hong does. At this critical moment, the king summoned him, which means that the king is ready and may take action at any time."
"What should I do then? Why don't you and I ask for the king now and persuade him?" Deng Yong was a little panicked and was preparing to take Cai Feng to see Deng Sheng together, hoping that Deng Sheng could change his mind.
Cai Feng shook his head and said, "This matter is no longer something you and I can organize. Do you believe it or not? Even if you go to see the king now, the king will not see you."
Deng Yong looked depressed and thought to himself: Yes, since the king has made up his mind, how can he control himself?
Seeing Deng Yong's appearance, Cai Feng felt a little reluctant and persuaded: "You don't have to worry. Since the king dares to make such a decision, it means that the king is already confident. And don't forget that the king holds military power, and the great Deng's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are obeying the king. What kind of storms can the three major families cause?"
Deng Yong nodded numbly. What else can he say now? He can only take one step at a time.
In Ganyang Palace, Su Hong came here again after many days.
"King, the members of Mingjing have already monitored all members of the three major families. They will definitely not escape from Mingjing's palm. Moreover, all the illegal things of the three major families over the past few years have been recorded." Su Hong reported to Deng Shenghui.
Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Su Qing is doing a good job!"
"Master, are you thinking about it again?" Su Hong still felt that Deng Sheng was a little anxious, so he planned to persuade him.
Deng Sheng shook his head and said, "No, I have decided, and I have issued a secret order to Yue Fei to integrate the army. As long as there are any abnormal movements in the three major families, Yue Fei will personally lead the army to attack the three tribes' garrisons and catch them all in one go. After you go down, you will hand over the information to Fan Zhongyan and leave the rest to him."
"Here!" Since Deng Sheng had already said this, Su Hong knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he had to agree.
The next day, Jingyang Palace held a court meeting.
Deng Sheng sat on the throne, looked at the civil and military ministers below, and said, "You are the mob in Nanxiang, the Minister of Justice Fan Zhongyan has gone to Nanxiang to learn about the situation. Fan Qing, please tell me in detail."
"Here!" Fan Zhongyan stepped out and said the whole story in front of all civil and military officials.
After hearing this, everyone whispered and discussed it privately.
"Okay, everyone knows this matter clearly, let's talk about what to do?" Deng Sheng saw the people below talking, and said.
"King, although the legitimate son of the Zhang family was at fault in this matter, King Xuan once said that the three major families must not be punished for harming the country. I think that the Zhang family can only make compensation and apologize to the victim's family, and there is no need to make a big deal." Gong Yoo, the Minister of Rites, came out and said.
"King, I dare not agree with this statement by Shangshu Kong." Fan Zhongyan stepped out and said: "King Xuan said that the three major families must be punished for the country. However, because of this, nearly a thousand people in Chenjia Village attacked the county government. If the handling is not done well, a little carelessness may cause dissatisfaction among the people in various places and shake the foundation of Da Deng."
"Is this a bit alarmist?" Kong Yoo was a little dissatisfied with Fan Zhongyan's escalation of this matter to such a serious level.
"Shangshu Kong's words are not bad, so why are you a person who speaks nonsense?" Fan Zhongyan glared at Kong You, and then said to Deng Sheng: "You are the king. In fact, I went to Nanxiang this time not only to find out this matter. The serious crimes committed by the Zhang family over the years are beyond words. Rong said in detail." After that, he told the illegal things that the Zhang family had done over the years.
Everyone's scalp was numb when they heard this. Fan Zhongyan wanted to catch the Zhang family in one go.
The more Deng Sheng listened, the more ugly his face became. After Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, Deng Sheng held back his anger and said, "Fan Qing, are these things true?"
Fan Zhongyan nodded and said, "Return to the king, everything I said is true, and everyone in and outside of Nanxiang City knows this, and everyone knows it. I think that if such people who harm the country and the people are not punished, they will not be able to correct the national law. Therefore, I ask the king to deal with it according to the national law!"
"You must not be a king. The Zhang family is a large family in Nanxiang. They have a high prestige among the scholars. If you attack the Zhang family rashly, you may lose your heart. I hope the king will think twice!" Kong Yoo was the first to come out to object.
As soon as Gong Yoo came out, it seemed like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Except for some ministers, most people came out to oppose it.
"Bang!" Deng Sheng slapped the imperial case with one hand and shouted loudly: "San Si, how do you let me think twice? King Xuan once said that the three major families must not be punished for the country, but you have all heard that what the Zhang family has done over the years has not done harm to the country and the people, and shaken the foundation of my great Deng."
"This..." Everyone was speechless, one by one, they didn't know how to argue for the Zhang family.
After seeing that they finally suppressed these ministers, Deng Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Fan Zhongyan, Yue Fei obeys the order!"
"I am here!" Fan Zhongyan and Yue Fei stepped out of the list.
"Appointing the Minister of Justice Fan Zhongyan to investigate the person involved in the Zhang family. Once it is found out, no one of the people involved in the case can be left behind. All the people involved are treated as national laws. General Jun Yue Fei of the Chef and General Deng Ai of Yulin assists. If anyone resists, he will be punished for committing a serious crime of corruption and will be executed on the spot. The Zhang family will be temporarily investigated and dealt with after the investigation results come out. In addition, the Chenjia Village people attacked the county government and were guilty of accomplice, but they thought that there was a reason and it was understandable that they were only punished. The remaining people were sent to Shangyong." Deng Sheng did not speak nonsense and ordered directly.
