The air seemed to condense.

Luo Hong stared at Luo Xin who was giving orders in disbelief, and then shouted angrily: "You dare! I am the leader of the Luo family. As a member of the Luo family, you dare to disobey the leader's words. Do you want to be removed from the Luo family?"

"Brother, if my father is here, he will definitely support me. The era of Dayu Kingdom has passed, and the era of wealthy families has passed. Today's empire belongs to thousands of imperial people, regardless of men and women, age, no matter whether they are old or low, or after the emperor for so many years, we have always followed the emperor."

While Luo Xin was speaking, the guards outside the door rushed in and pointed guns at Luo Hong.

After the persuasion failed, Luo Hong closed his eyes in pain. This time he came to Yizhou for a trip, but the persuasion of Luo Xin was true.

Although Ge Yiren's affairs forced him to advance his actions, he finally understood the fact that this action was doomed to fail from the beginning.

"Come on, escort me to Qingzhou, so you, Luo Xin, have made another great contribution. From then on, the position of patriarch of the Luo family will also belong to you. How perfect."

With a few sneers, Luo Hong spread his hands and made an action of letting the soldiers arrest him.

Luo Xin felt quite uncomfortable at this time. Luo Hong was his brother after all. The saying that he killed his relatives for justice was easy to say, but how difficult it was to do it?

But if he did not do this, the Luo family would face a catastrophe. As Luo Hong said, the matter of asking him to go to Qingzhou to attend a military conference was a test.

In the face of rebellion, no emperor would indulge the rebels. Even if he hesitates now and goes to a few days in the evening, he will definitely be attacked by other officials.

"Brother, you are confused about this matter. When I return to Qingzhou, I will plead with the emperor. I believe that you are just being deceived by the traitor." Luo Xin said with difficulty.

Luo Hong was discouraged, "Between Xiao Ming and me, since you have chosen Xiao Ming, why should you say such ridiculous words? Don't you understand Xiao Ming's temper? Forget it, don't say it anymore, this may be my life."

Hearing this, Luo Xin felt even more uncomfortable, but he had no choice. He knew very well that only by catching Luo Hong could the incident be controlled to the minimum range.

Nodded deeply, Luo Xin said tremblingly: "Take Luo Hong down and escort him to Qingzhou tomorrow."

After answering, the guard took Luo Hong out of the room.

At this time, Luo Xin sat down dejectedly. The power struggle made him feel the coldness of the bone for the first time. Because of this, he did not dare to take a wrong step, because under the high position was a deep abyss.

...

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming was reading telegrams from secret guards from various places, and Li San was with Xiao Ming. Now his office location has been temporarily changed to the side hall of the imperial study room.

"Emperor, the impact of Ge Yiren being arrested is expanding. Now many nobles are ready to move, but they seem to be waiting for something?" Li San said.

Xiao Ming's eyes turned to the southwest, and he said: "They are waiting for Luo Hong's news because they understand that without the support of the army, they will not be able to force me to accept the principle of jointly governing the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Dafu hurried over and handed the two telegrams to Xiao Ming.

"Your Majesty, Luo Xin called. He has detained Luo Hong in Yizhou and will take Luo Hong to Qingzhou together tomorrow." Qian Dafu said with a smile. Luo Xin's attitude is obviously the most important to everyone.

Because once the Southwest Army rebelled, the empire might have to be a mess, but they were not worried about failure. After all, the military factories were concentrated in the north.

There may be a stalemate in the early stage, but if the Southwest Army continues for a long time, it will be defeated. However, in this way, the result of killing each other will also weaken the power of the empire.

"I just said that although Luo Xin is a little bit young, he can still calculate it clearly on big issues."

Xiao Ming's frowns soothed, but what he was worried about was different from Qian Dafu, because he knew that even if Luo Xin was determined to rebel, he would not be able to make a fuss.

The imperial chief minister has a system of his own. He seems to be not a big official, but in fact he has great power. If the military region makes a mistake in the direction, the chief minister will inform the General Secretary as soon as possible. After obtaining his authorization, the chief minister can remove the commander.

What he was worried about was that by then he would have to attack Luo Xin.

"Yes, as long as the army does not move, there will be no big trouble in the empire this time, but this little trouble seems to be inevitable." Qian Dafu glanced at another telegram.

Xiao Ming's smile became cold after seeing the telegram. He said to Li San: "The secret guards in Lin'an said that Ren and his family had fled, and they also found that many people on the list had also fled. Among these people were officials, factories and students from the academy. Ren He sent a telegram before he was arrested. This telegram might be a signal to make them abscond."

Li San's expression also became solemn. He said: "If this is the case, you should set up a checkpoint immediately to arrest him. If these people were wandering overseas and being exploited by Europeans, wouldn't it be detrimental to the empire?"

"When I was arresting Ren He, I had already asked the local guards to take action, but this top-down rectification may create someone who hates the empire to the core." Xiao Ming sighed.

For some, they only have their own interests in their hearts, so they will not care about the country and the world. If they violate their interests, they will be their enemies.

This time, both the remnants of the Merchant Council and Ge Yiren and others will hate him to the core. Once they have the chance, they will definitely flee to the hostile camp and use various methods to slander the empire.

However, after so many years of serving in the throne, he gradually realized that the implementation of a policy will benefit part of it and it will inevitably harm some people, and it is impossible for him to satisfy everyone.

Thinking of this, he said to Li San: "Since Luo Xin has already expressed his opinion, then take action. Immediately arrest all those involved in this matter and pursue the remnants of the Merchant Council with all their strength." Xiao Ming said coldly.

"Yes, the Emperor."

Li San was waiting for this sentence, and he responded, and turned around and walked outward.

After seeing Li San away, Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu: "It's time to announce to the world that the Cao family father and son were arrested. I want the world to see the fate of this traitor together."

Qian Dafu smiled and said, "It is said that Qingzhou newspapers now have something that can print people's appearance on paper. It would be best to use this thing to let people all over the world see the appearance of this traitor."

Xiao Ming smiled. Qian Dafu said that he had equipped the newspaper with a camera that had not been equipped with a long time. Now, he can only find out about gadgets like cameras by looking at the newspaper, so he doesn't have to ask specifically.
