In the 11th year of the Ming Dynasty, on the 1st day of November, 1885, the Emperor of Guangping and his entourage rushed back to Yanjing City.
Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui led the high-ranking officers of the new army to welcome them outside the city.
"We welcome the Emperor!"
"No need to be polite. You've worked hard!" The Emperor of Guang Dong dismounted from his horse.
"This is what we should do!" Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui quickly replied.
"Your Majesty, Yan Jing City has been sealed off by us since yesterday evening. During this period, no one left the city!”Zuo Baogui replied.
The emperor nodded. This way, he would be able to get rid of all of them.
"Emperor, we have already taken control of the city. He had just received the news that the Gong Prince had already committed suicide by taking poison. This was the memorial he had left behind to apologize!”Nie Shicheng presented a memorial to the Emperor of Guang Dong.
The Emperor of Guang Dong took a look and snorted.
"Humph! Did he think that by taking all the blame on himself, I would let his henchmen off? It was simply wishful thinking. Immediately capture Baoyun, Jing Lian, and the others. After Minister Li returned to Beijing, he would interrogate Tu Lu. This time, I must capture all these rebels with ill intentions!”The Emperor of Guang Dong was very determined. He obviously didn't intend to let this matter rest.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui both answered.
After that, the emperor returned to the Forbidden City.
At this moment, the defense of the Forbidden City had been completely taken over by the new army. This was naturally done for the sake of safety.
Since the capital camp could rebel, the Emperor of Guang Dong naturally would not trust those old-fashioned troops.
Baoyun and Jing Lian were arrested and thrown into prison. They confessed to their crimes. At this point, they knew very well that there was no point in refusing to admit it. It was better to confess to the crime. Perhaps the Emperor of Guang Dong would not make things difficult for their families.
Baoyun and Jing Lian weren't the only ones who were arrested. There were also many nobles and ministers.
Even the Minister of Military Affairs Sun Yuwen, Prince Su, Prince Yu, Prince Keqin and Prince Yi were all arrested and imprisoned.
These guys were also the Gong Prince's henchmen. Although they were not directly involved in the assassination of the Emperor of Guang Dong, they were definitely aware of it.
However, they chose not to report it.
It was obvious what they were thinking.
That night, Li Shaoquan and the others also returned to Yanjing City.
And the captured left wing commander Tu Lu, under Li Shaoquan's intentional guidance along the way, almost completely followed Li Shaoquan's instructions and took over all the nobles and ministers.
Li Shaoquan had promised him that if he obediently followed their instructions, he would be able to do it. In that case, there was no way he could be saved. He would die. However, his family could continue to live in seclusion.
Tu Lu was a smart man. Since he was going to die anyway, he naturally had to think about his family.
Therefore, Tu Lu directly submitted a confession memorial, which directly confessed a large number of people.
Among the Iron Hat Kings, other than Prince Chun, who was not on the rankings, all the other kings were on the rankings.
Other than them, there were also other nobles who could not escape.
Li Shaoquan entered the palace and handed Tu Lu's letter of apology to the Emperor of Guang Yue.
"Emperor, Tu Lu has already confessed. This is his accomplice!”Li Shaoquan said.
The emperor's eyes lit up when he read the memorial.
With Tu Lu's confession, none of the nobles and ministers could escape! Even if the Emperor of Guang Dong was merciful and would not execute them. However, at the very least, they had to raid their homes. The emperor's goal was naturally achieved.
"Prince Rui and Prince Keqin are only a few years old so how could they participate in the rebellion?”The emperor shook his head speechlessly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. It seemed that Tu Lu's confession was not rigorous!”Li Shaoquan said.
"Other than Prince Rui of First Rank and Prince Keqin, capture the rest first.”the emperor ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty. However, with so many people, if they were all killed, it would probably cause the entire Ming Dynasty to be in a panic.”Li Shaoquan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I haven't killed myself to that extent. Other than the mastermind, everyone else could avoid death. However, all of their assets would be confiscated! That money was the fat of the people that they had plundered. Next, I want to carry out a large-scale westernization and rebuild the railway. This is the time when I need money!”said the emperor of Guang Dong.
Li Shaoquan nodded. He finally understood the Emperor's true intentions. He was here for the huge wealth of these nobles.
