Chapter 3171 clearing the remnants
??
Now is different from the past, and the identities of the two have been reversed. Prime Minister Lang Haohan was demoted to a commoner, or ordinary people, but Qiu Yu was the commander of the Western Army and was promoted to the second-rank official. This was the case. Lang Haohan was very respectful to his former subordinates, after all, it was different from the past.
Qiu Yu is not an ungrateful person. As the saying goes, "Don't forget to dig wells when you eat water. How could he forget the prime minister's vigorous cultivation? He gave a deep gift and said in panic: "Sir, don't have to do this. The success you have today is inseparable from your unremitting support, how dare you forget your roots?"
In fact, Lang Haohan was also testing the other person's character. Seeing Qiu Yu in a high position but there was no difference from the original one, he was very pleased. He quickly helped the other person up and smiled and said, "Since you still look down on me, that's great. Let's have a few drinks to celebrate your promotion to commander..."
With his order, the wine and food brought by his servants were placed on the stone table in the pavilion, four vegetarian dishes and a pot of sake. The two sat down and had a drink and talked loudly.
One of the dishes was a cold light purple vegetable leaf. Lang Haohan pointed with chopsticks, "Xiao Yu, try this dish."
"What kind of dish is this? I really want to have never eaten it." Curious, Qiu Yu handed over the chopsticks, picked up a leaf and handed it into his mouth. After chewing, he felt extremely bitter and unbearable. He couldn't help but frown, but he swallowed it with his mouth and grinned: "It's so bitter."
Lang Haohan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you can only be a human being in life! You have experienced a lot of suffering today because you have experienced a lot of suffering. This kind of dish is called bitter leaf lotus, which has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying and promoting digestion. If you eat too much, you will not feel bitter."
"Is that so, I'll take a look." Qiu Yu took another bite, but felt that it was not as bitter as before, but it had a special taste.
Lang Haohan also picked up a chopstick and chewed it in big mouthfuls. After swallowing it, he said earnestly: "The reason why I let you eat this dish is to remind you that although you are at the peak of your career, you cannot be proud and complacent, and even be unaware of the reason. The remnants of King Yun still mingle in various institutions of the court, or are the chief executives in various places. If they are not eliminated, it will be a disaster in the future."
Qiu Yu said hurriedly: "My lord is right. I will come to visit you this time and discuss this matter. The rioters must be wiped out and they cannot show mercy."
Lang Haohan smiled, took out a jade slip from his ring and placed it on the table and pushed it over, "It's already prepared for you. There are many lists of the remnants of the Yunwang in the jade slip. Just arrest and interrogate."
Qiu Yu was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Those who know me are the prime minister..."
Qiu Yu gained a lot during this trip to the Prime Minister's House. Not only did he obtain the list of the rebellious parties, but he also listened to many insightful suggestions. He did not leave until the evening and went to the palace under the escort of his personal soldiers.
In the magnificent hall, there are many tables on both sides, with fine wine and delicacies placed on it. The tableware is either gold or silver, and the atmosphere of wealth is impressed.
There were thousands of imperial guards wearing golden armor standing outside the hall. The general manager Duhar personally led the team, which felt very majestic to others.
Some officials were guilty and could only walk in with their teeth. Many civil and military officials came to the hall, first met the King of Yan, and then stood there.
Ji Cheng deliberately looked stern and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, King Yun has been punished for his evil intentions, and the rebels have been wiped out, but there are still remaining evils. Now I have ordered Qiu Yu to investigate this matter strictly, and no matter any official, he must cooperate with the investigation, and give him the Shang Fang sword, and the right to take action first and then report.
As soon as the order was issued, some officials' faces changed color and they were nervous. Princess Yanshan's bright eyes flashed with doubts. She glanced at Ji Cheng and Qiu Yu again. She found that the two of them looked calm. She suddenly realized and guessed that they had planned together, and agreed very much, thinking that the Chaogang should be rectified.
Qiu Yu went out and said, "I am humble in my duties and obey the orders."
One eunuch came over with a sword inlaid with gold and silver, and handed it to Qiu Yu. He caught it and said loudly: "I have started to verify the relevant aspects a few months ago. Basically, the officials who colluded with King Yun have been confirmed. The Imperial Guard, come in quickly."
Just before, Qiu Yu had already greeted Duhar, the chief supervisor of the Imperial Guard. When he heard his call, he led hundreds of Imperial Guards into the hall and bowed: "The Imperial Guards are ready to catch people."
The hall seemed to have become Qiu Yu's special show. He was not polite and said loudly: "Zuodu Censor Zheng Guangjia is Ji Wuji's confidant. He colluded with him for many years to cause trouble in the Chaogang. Now he has won it."
Everyone was shocked and felt that Qiu Yu was really sharp and was very immense in attacking such a high-ranking official at Zuodu Censor.
Zheng Guangjia's face turned green, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. He said angrily: "You are slandering people, it is purely accusation. Please ask the emperor to make the decision for the empress. I was wronged."
Ji Cheng said in a deep voice: "Don't make a quibble, someone will take him down."
Several imperial guards quickly stepped forward, shook out the chain and put it on Zheng Guangjia's neck, then put it in shackles and took it off on the spot.
The guy shouted in horror: "The Master, I have always been loyal to the court. Qiu Yu is just avenging his private revenge..."
But no matter how he called Qu, Ji Cheng turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't heard it. Anyway, he made up his mind and acted firmly according to Qiu Yu's will.
This is not the end. Qiu Yu read it out one by one according to the list on the jade slip. More than a dozen officials were arrested and all escorted to the Imperial Heaven Supervision, and he wanted to interrogate them in person.
If there were some people who were dissatisfied with Qiu Yu before, thinking that he had little experience and became the commander with the power of Princess Yanshan, now he was so scared that he was silent. This kid was extremely powerful and could even arrest important officials of the court with Shangfang's sword in his arms. In other words, he could arrest anyone he wanted, but if he was anxious, he would kill him first and then report him. Who dared to offend him?
After arresting a group of officials, the Imperial Guard retreated. The banquet officially began. After everyone sat down, they were still scared, making the hall full of depression.
Qiu Yu put away Shang Fang's sword and adjusted the atmosphere: "You are all important officials of the court. Don't worry, I will not let go of a traitor, nor will I wrongly accuse a good person. As long as you have a clear conscience, you can eat and drink with all your heart."
After hearing this, the nervous mood of civil and military officials was relieved. The hall was gradually filled with laughter and joy. Everyone cheered and toasted Qiu Yu frequently. They felt that the King of Yan and the eldest princess were not very scary, but this boy was afraid of it.
Princess Yanshan didn't like lively occasions and left long ago, and the banquet lasted until late at night. The officials dispersed. Qiuyu walked out of the hall and saw that the old eunuch Hu had been waiting here for a long time. She stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, please come and speak."
