Chapter 591 Return to Beijing

Zhang Hao took the three of them to the Qin King's mansion. The Qin King said that he would apologize to His Majesty. Zhang Hao nodded and then looked at the Qin King and said, "I came here this time. I really didn't want to deal with you, I just wanted to go through a formality. But when I entered the territory of Shaanxi, I realized that I had to deal with you. I couldn't do it. I have been to many places, and there was never a place like Shaanxi. The people were so poor.

I have never seen such an official. I have no people in my heart, no emperor, only you, King Qin. You have done this too much and I have never taken the emperor or the people seriously at all.

That's why I decided to deal with you. Actually, I don't want to have any conflicts with your royal family. There is no need. As long as you are honestly a royal family, I can't deal with you. After all, our nobles are loyal to the emperor, and they are one, but you are too much!"

When the King of Qin heard this, he nodded with a bitter smile. Now, no one wants to refute what Zhang Hao said. There is no need for that. Whatever Zhang Hao said is, right?

"I don't believe it, ask the three of them. They have always been following me. But at the beginning, they didn't wear official uniforms, but the clothes of Jinyiwei, so you didn't recognize them.

Let me introduce it. This is Yu Anshan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jiang Zili, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wu Qing, the deputy commander of the Ministry of Revenue. They came with me. They are very clear about the situation here. They are also dealing with Shaanxi during this period, and I don’t care about the matter here!" Zhang Hao introduced to the King of Qin.

"Ah!" The King of Qin was very surprised. He thought that after he arrived in Beijing, he would definitely make a fuss. But now, Zhang Hao came over with three officials and participated in this matter throughout the process. The King of Qin knew that he was finished and he had no chance.

"Your Highness, it was shocking to come to Shaanxi. I couldn't even imagine that I have been to many places, served as officials in many places, and there were also vassal kings under my rule, but I have never encountered such a situation.

King Qin, you have let down the emperor's trust in you. It's really let down, and as the Ming Dynasty royal family, you should protect the people. The people trust the royal family so much. Do you do this and where will the Ming Dynasty royal family be?" Wu Qing sat there and looked at them and said.

"I have seen three sirs, this, me!" The King of Qin sat there, trying to mottle it, but found that he could not argue.

Zhu Huairong was also very scared at this moment. He had thought before that, no matter what, he would have to write Zhang Hao's book, but how could he still write Zhang Hao now, and how could he arouse the sympathy of other ministers and the support of those vassal kings? Thinking of this, Zhu Huairong's back was full of cold sweat at this moment.

He knew that this time it was really over. No one expected that Zhang Hao would come with three officials, and the three of them represented the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate. With the support of these three departments, no matter how he made a fuss, he could not figure out a result.

"I may have you on the carriage later. Your palace, those who are over 14 years old, will be brought back to the capital. I originally wanted to bring my young children with me, but I thought it was unnecessary. If the emperor wanted to kill you all, I would not take them there.

When the imperial edict arrives, they will not survive. If they don’t want to kill those children, I don’t want those children to be exhausted. So, stay here. When you go there, how the emperor punishes you depends on what the emperor thinks. Therefore, I also hope that you will cooperate and don’t force me to take away all the people in the royal palace!” Zhang Hao said to the King of Qin.

When the King of Qin heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Marquis Lu An!"

"I don't need to thank you. We have no personal grudges. I'm doing things for the court. If you hate me, I can't do anything!" Zhang Hao said and stood up, then said, "That's it, what else do you have?"

"Where are other clan members, what are you going to do?" King Qin stood up and looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Take them all away, there's no way. They all committed crimes. I think you know what they did!" Zhang Hao looked at the King of Qin and said, "After hearing this, the King of Qin nodded. How can I not know? It's because he didn't take care of it properly, so this situation happened.

"We're leaving!" Zhang Hao said and walked outside. Wu Qing and the other three followed immediately.

Now that the talk is over, I’m actually just meeting the King of Qin and warning the King of Qin to be honest on the road and don’t make any troubles for yourself. If you make any troubles, you will kill people. Zhang Hao may kill all those people who are kept in Shaanxi.

The King of Qin knew that Zhang Hao dared to kill, and even dared to clean up himself, and was worried about the children. Not long after Zhang Hao left, the Jinyiwei came in and asked the King of Qin to get on the carriage. It was impossible to open it inside.

Zhu Huai'an had no carriage, only prison carriages. Those well-known figures in the royal family, and those above the fifth rank were all prison carriages. The low-level officials could only carry shackles and were carried to the capital by the Jinyiwei. Zhang Hao estimated that it would take at least half a month to walk along the way. Zhang Hao was so upset when he thought of this. He had to ignore the road for such a long time.

The next morning, Zhang Hao and the others packed up their things and set off. When passing through the main street of Xi'an City, the people spontaneously lit firecrackers. The main reason was that they also knew that the King of Qin really fell into trouble this time, and many people were also assigned to the fields, knowing that the court really cleaned up the King of Qin and others.

So when they saw many masters of the King of Qin, locked up in prison carts, they were excited and happy, and they lit firecrackers to celebrate. When the King of Qin, who was sitting in the cart, heard the sound of firecrackers outside, his face turned pale.

There are also the children of the royal family outside who heard the people celebrating their arrest, but they never dared to look up. They rode on the people's heads and acted as a blessing, but now the retribution has come! Zhang Hao led them all the way to the capital. This time, it took fifteen days, and the prisoners were still very honest on the road.

That afternoon, Zhang Hao brought the prisoners into the west gate of the capital. The people saw so many prison vans coming, and some prisoners came over with shackles, and they stamped their feet and looked at the people. "Who are these? Why are there so many prisoners?"

"I don't know, the people from the King of Qin have heard of what they did in Shaanxi, but the heavens are angry and the people are resentful. The emperor was able to capture them, which was to eliminate the harm of the people!"

"King Qin, I know. I heard that even merchants in Shaanxi dare not go over, which shows how cruel the King of Qin is there."

The people in the capital began to discuss the prisoners, while Zhang Hao rode his horse to the Yuxi Palace. When he arrived at the palace, Zhang Hao dismounted, then rushed to the Yuxi Palace and entered the alchemy room directly.

"My memory, Zhang Hao, I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor!" Zhang Hao arrived in the alchemy room and saw Jiajing sitting on the tea table to make tea. He immediately went over to kneel down on one knee and bowed his hands and said.

"Ah, I'm back? Hurry up, get up! I've calculated the days, it's almost today and tomorrow!" Jiajing was very happy when he saw Zhang Hao coming back and immediately called Zhang Hao to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, don't let me do this next time. It's so boring. It's still far. I'm walking slowly all the way, a waste of time!" Zhang Hao stood up and immediately complained to Jiajing.

"Hey, you bastard, you asked you to do something, but you still complained!" When Jiajing heard this, he also smiled and cursed at Zhang Hao...

"Zhang Hao, you don't know how worried the emperor is about you and you are not going to do the job well there. Unexpectedly, you have done it!" Lu Fang said to Zhang Hao very happily at this moment.

"Hehe, that's right, it's not easy to deal with him. He still wants to assassinate me. If I give him a chance, he can't kill me!" Zhang Hao said proudly at this moment.

"Okay, sit down and say, tell me about the matter in Shaanxi. In addition, where is the King of Qin and others locked up now? Are they locked up by the Jinyiwei?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, he can't be locked up in the Jinyiwei, otherwise if others don't agree, they will be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing.

"Well, but is he willing to tell the truth? What if he confessed to the death then?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao worriedly and said.

"He dares, the other three right ministers know about his affairs, and they are also responsible for it. They know the best of what the King of Qin did in Shaanxi. Is it possible that he still wants to overturn the case?" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing.

"Yes, where are the three of them?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.

"Wu Qing is still in Shaanxi. Yu Anshan and Jiang Zili now need to go to the Ministry of Justice to hand over the prisoners. In addition, those confessions also need to hand over. They said that they came to report to the emperor tomorrow. Their memorials have been written, but they still need to handle the matter. I am lazy and come first!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Okay, that's fine. Let them come tomorrow morning. I'll meet them tomorrow, and you'll come together. In addition, tomorrow morning, summon the ministers to come here, and I'll let them listen!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao and Lu Fang.

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang Hao and the others immediately bowed and said.
