In late February, the weather became warmer.
The sun shines and everything revives.
At the gate of Beicheng in Wu County, all the civil and military officials of Chen State, led by Jiang Ning, Sun Zhongjie and others, gathered here, preparing to welcome Wang Qi's army going south.
Sun Zhongjie had previously used Zhou Shen's power to raid Yuan Ye's house. He not only killed Yuan Ye, but also collected all the money of Yuan Hua's family and rushed it into the treasury.
After the coup in Wu County, Jiang Ning came out of prison and took over the overall situation.
Now, prepare to welcome Wang Qi.
Sun Zhongjie stood next to Jiang Ning. He said slightly worriedly: "Teacher, we are surrendering to Wang Qi now, but we don't know if he will accept us. Wang Qi is somewhat hostile to the family."
When it comes to status, Sun Zhongjie was promoted by Jiang Ning and was called teacher.
Jiang Ning said slowly: "There is nothing to worry about. If the King of Qi doesn't use us, who can he use? What's more, the King of Qi also relies heavily on the Xuzhou family and uses people from the family in his administration in Xuzhou. So you The worries are unnecessary, the most important thing is to be capable, this is the fundamental."
Sun Zhongjie nodded and agreed with Jiang Ning. He was just a little worried.
"Here we come, people are here."
At this moment, someone shouted, and in an instant everyone looked forward. On the official road ahead, the army led by Wang Qi arrived and was coming in force.
The distance between the two parties is getting closer little by little. When the distance was less than a hundred steps and the army could be clearly seen, Jiang Ning stepped out. Sun Zhongjie and the others also walked out one after another to greet him.
When everyone arrived about ten steps in front of the army, Jiang Ning led the crowd to salute and said: "Jiang Ning of Yangzhou, pay homage to the King of Qi."
"Meet the King of Qi!"
Everyone bowed and saluted.
Wang Qi stood up on his horse, his eyes fell on Jiang Ning, and he nodded and said: "Jiang Ning, you are very good. I am very pleased that you are willing to surrender. Let's all enter the city."
"yes!"
Jiang Ning bowed in agreement.
He was not far away from Wang Qi. With a wave of his hand, everyone under his command stepped back and made way for Wang Qi to walk ahead.
Jiang Ning followed Wang Qi. He took the initiative and said: "King Qi, the imperial city has been cleared out. All of Yuan Wei's heirs have been jailed and detained. Please ask King Qi to stay in the palace temporarily."
Wang Qidao: "You are determined."
Jiang Ning looked humble and said, "This is what an old man should do."
Wang Qi said no more and led the team into the city. After the army entered the city, they divided their forces to control the four city gates and then stationed themselves inside the city. Wang Qi entered the palace with his personal guards and took control of the imperial city.
In the main hall, Wang Qi sat down.
The rest of the people stood still.
Jiang Ning had people move the land, population records, and other account books of Chen State, and presented them all to Wang Qi, reporting: "King Qi, we have sealed off the imperial city and found a hundred silver coins." More than 800,000 taels and 600,000 taels of gold. There are countless other treasures and jades. All materials are sealed in the treasury. In addition, the granaries in the city and the collected materials are also sealed and no movement is allowed. It can only be ordered by King Qi.¡±
Wang Qi nodded and said: "Mr. Jiang, you did a good job."
Jiang Ning said: "The King of Qi is full of praise."
Wang Qi changed the topic and said: "I led my troops south and just arrived in Wuxian County. There are many government affairs that need to be dealt with immediately. For the time being, I will deal with the affairs first and settle the matter. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the palace. Thank you all."
After Jiang Ning heard this, she was a little confused. But he knew that Wang Qi would definitely have to deal with things alone at the moment, so he honestly said goodbye and left. All the civil and military officials of Chen State also retreated.
These people walked out of the palace one by one, some looking at each other in confusion.
Sun Zhongjie frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Teacher, are you a little dissatisfied with us because of what King Qi wants?"
The other officials also looked over.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All of them are a little worried.
Jiang Ning explained: "The attitude of King Qi just now is indeed somewhat intriguing. If he is not satisfied with us, he will definitely not hold a banquet to thank us in the evening. If he is satisfied, he should reward us according to his merits and make arrangements now. Now There is no arrangement, which makes it difficult to figure out. But I estimate that King Qi needs to understand the situation in order to make a targeted decision. In short, everyone should do what they should do now and wait and see what happens."
When Sun Zhongjie and others heard this, they also?Yes nodded.
Now that¡¯s all it can do.
Everyone left, and Wang Qi vaguely heard some of their discussions. Wang Qi has a sharp ear and eyesight. Even if these people are talking at the door of the hall, Wang Qi can hear them. However, Wang Qi smiled. He really wanted to understand the situation of these people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Qi wants to understand the evidence in Yuan Wei's hands.
Wang Qi immediately ordered people to take Yuan Wei into the hall.
Yuan Wei felt anxious as he headed south. He wanted to submit to Wang Qi, but Wang Qi didn't seem to accept him, but he didn't kill him and still detained him. Therefore, Yuan Wei was worried and his health was even worse.
After Yuan Wei saw Wang Qi, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Sinner, pay homage to King Qi."
Wang Qi said: "You said you have collected evidence of the entire Yangzhou family. Where is the evidence now?"
Yuan Wei hurriedly said: "Reporting to King Qi, all the evidence is in the palace. Considering that Jiang Ning and other aristocratic families have great eyes and hands, and his spies are everywhere, I put the evidence in the secret room."
Wang Qi immediately called Xia Houhu and asked Xia Houhu to take Yuan Wei to collect evidence of the crime. Not long after the two left, Xia Houhu entered with a stack of books in his arms. He put the books on the desk in front of Wang Qi and stood aside again honestly.
Yuan Wei said: "King Qi, I have given you all the evidence, please spare my life."
Wang Qi ignored Yuan Wei, picked up the book, and browsed quickly. In a short period of time, I took a rough look at it. There are indeed many crimes recorded in the book, including annexing land, killing people in the street, raping women, and other violations of law and discipline.
It involves all the aristocratic families in Yangzhou.
In fact, no big family has a clean butt. This information is extremely detailed.
After reading it, Wang Qi felt more confident about the Yangzhou clan. He looked at the decadent Yuan Wei who was kneeling on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Take Yuan Wei down."
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately led the people down.
Yuan Wei was stunned. He had made great achievements and he should be released. Yuan Wei quickly said: "King Qi, I have given all the evidence of the crime. Please spare my life. I am willing to follow King Qi's arrangements." !¡±
Wang Qi was unmoved, waved his hand, and Yuan Wei was taken directly down. Wang Qi looked through the information in the book alone and learned about the affairs of these aristocratic families.
This afternoon, Wang Qi was checking the news.
Near evening, Wang Qi asked people to prepare a banquet to prepare for the evening banquet. After the sky darkened, Wang Qi sent someone to notify Jiang Ning and others to attend the banquet. Soon after, officials headed by Jiang Ning filed in, and everyone entered the hall and took their seats. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
