The White Lotus Society was either rebelling or on the road to rebellion.
The White Lotus Society was one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to claim the title of emperor. Therefore, he was very clear about the dangers of this cult. He had been suppressing the White Lotus Society since he took over the position and had never stopped.
"Sir, I think there might be some misunderstanding.”
" Please reconsider," Niu Hongwen said through gritted teeth." Geng He is the son of General Geng, the commander of Liaodong…"
"Yes, yes, yes. My father is the commander of Liaodong, Geng Bingwen, a second-grade official!”Geng Geng, who was pressed to the ground, said loudly,""My Geng family is deeply indebted to the emperor, so why should I collude with the evil sect?”
"Shut up! Do you still know that your Geng family is deeply indebted to the Emperor? His Majesty values you and your son so much, and even betrothed Princess Jiang Du to your brother, making him the son-in-law and commander of the former military governor's office. Is this how you repay His Majesty?”
"Colluding with the evil cult? You're unforgivable!" Qi Yuanzhong scolded angrily. Men, bring Geng He to Beiping and let the King of Yan interrogate him personally!”
"My lord!"
Niu Hongwen still wanted to defend Geng Qiong, but Qi Yuanzhong pointed at him and said coldly,""I'm telling you, even if his father is Geng Bingwen, I'm not afraid of him! This was Beiping, not Liaodong. He, Geng Bingwen, couldn't extend his hand so far!
Now that Geng Geng had colluded with the evil cult, he, Geng Bingwen, could not escape responsibility. Now, he was like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to even protect himself!
Niu Hongwen, if you dare to plead for Geng Rong again, I'll take you down too!”
"This, this…Sigh, I understand.”Niu Hongwen sighed and didn't say anything else.
As the commander of the Yongqing Left Guards, he had no face in front of Qi Yuanzhong, the commander of Beiping.
No matter how much he wanted to protect Geng Geng, there was nothing he could do now.
Geng Xiong, who was dragged away, shouted,"I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"”
"If I collude with the evil sect, the heavens will be my witness. Let me be struck by lightning!”
"I'm innocent! I didn't collude with the evil cult!"
"Who is framing me!"
Qi Yuanzhong stopped and said coldly,""Niu Hongwen, you have failed to control your subordinates. You are temporarily suspended and will be interrogated!”
"I understand." Niu Hongwen looked dispirited.
Since he had a cult follower under him, he, as the commander, would not be able to get away with it. He would definitely be interrogated.
Even if he was found to be fine, a demotion was inevitable.

Lord Yan's residence
"Your Highness, Geng Geng has colluded with the evil cult and has been imprisoned.”
Wang Wei said to Zhu Di.
"Well done." Zhu Di nodded and looked at Liao Liu."You heard that, right? Go back and tell your Liao Wangye that I have already helped him with this matter.”
Liao Liu cupped his hands and said,"Liao Liu, thank the King of Yan on behalf of my lord!"”
"It's fine, but this king is a little curious. Why would the mighty Liao King target a small commander like Geng Qiong?”Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and asked.
Liao Liu said in a hoarse voice," My lord has his own considerations. We, the royal guards, only follow the king's orders. We don't care about the king's affairs."”
"Forget it, what Brother Zhi wants to do has nothing to do with this king.”
Zhu Di waved his hand, indicating that Liao Liu could leave.
……
Jinling, Imperial Palace
Today was a bright sunny day. Zhu Yuanzhang was in a rare mood. He was drinking tea and playing chess with the emperor's grandson in a small pavilion by the lake.
"Grandpa, can't you give in to your grandson?”Zhu Yunwen said with a frown.
The black and white on the chessboard were crisscrossed. Zhu Yuanzhang's black dragon had bitten the white dragon he controlled to death, and there was no way to turn the tables.
" Hehe…" Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and smiled without saying anything.
At this moment, the Shadow Servant walked over and bowed to deliver a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.""Superior, a letter from Liaodong. It's a letter from Liao Wangye.”
"Oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the letter and said as he opened it,"This child has been in Liaodong for so many years, but it's rare for him to write to us.”
He opened the letter and read the contents carefully. Zhu Yunwen also came over with interest and read it together.
"Zhu Zhi presents it to you.
After I arrived in Liaodong, the land of Liaodong was bitter and cold, and the land was not easy to change. The soldiers had suffered for a long time.
However, I did not disappoint my father. I improved the wasteland and strengthened my soldiers. Liaodong is the border of my Ming Dynasty and cannot be neglected. I did my best and did not dare to be negligent.
Your son doesn't dare to be extravagant. Even the Liao King's residence hasn't been built yet. He has devoted himself to building the country. So far, Liaodong has enough food and grass. The soldiers are strong and the soldiers are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The mountains and rivers are safe.
When there is nothing to do, ordinary people often take precautions against accidents, so that natural accidents will not happen. If there is something to do, but as if there is nothing to do, in order to stabilize their concerns, then the matter will naturally disappear. The ancients said,'The heart wants small, but the courage wants big.'This is how things should be handled."
Seeing this, even Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but praise,"Uncle Liao King said it well,'When mortals have nothing to do, if they take precautions against something, naturally nothing will happen. If there is something to do, but as if there is nothing to do, in order to stabilize their concerns, then the matter will naturally disappear.'，It was truly a famous saying that could alert the world!”
