On the second day, Huang Mingyuan released some of the imprisoned people. Although the number of people is small, this is a clear signal to the Jiangnan scholars that I am going to release them and I want to show my kindness to you. Within two days, Huang Mingyuan released another batch of imprisoned prisoners. In the past few days, the release of imprisoned prisoners continued, and the entire prison was empty, with very few people continuing to be imprisoned.
With Huang Mingyuan¡¯s actions, almost all the prisoners in the Wan¡¯antang remnant case in Wuzhou were released. Huang Mingyuan also ordered the remaining criminals from other places to be released except those with solid evidence.
At this time, Chen Yuan, who followed Huang Mingyuan, also had some doubts. The lord released the prisoners with such great fanfare, not to disrespect the court. The matters involved in this case are too important. After all, it is an assassination of the emperor, and the emperor must strictly investigate the treason. How can the lord explain to the emperor that he has done this?
Huang Mingyuan said: "If I didn't want the people in Jiangnan to know that I was working hard to investigate the case, I would have released everyone long ago. Among these released people, I don't know who is a traitor and who is a good citizen. Some of them must have been arrested. Misplaced. And I released these people just to let everyone know the goodwill of the imperial court towards the people of Jiangnan, so as to dispel the anger gathering in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan."
Chen Yuan said in confusion: "If this is the case, the treason will not be investigated. How can the emperor explain to the lord?"
Huang Mingyuan asked back: "When did I say I would stop investigating? In fact, I have already conducted an in-depth investigation, and the results will be available soon. As long as I investigate the case clearly, the emperor will have no other explanation. "
Chen Yuan saw that Huang Mingyuan said nothing and stopped asking further questions.
After these criminals were released, Huang Mingyuan met with some well-known local people, comforted them, and put all the responsibility for the previous turmoil on the dead Yu Shicheng. These people were destined to die. How could they dare to be dissatisfied with the court after they were lucky enough to survive. Therefore, everyone agreed with Huang Mingyuan's statement and expressed gratitude for the emperor's divine grace. Therefore, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Huang Mingyuan also asked everyone to write letters to rebels in various places. Anyone involved in the rebellion case will be innocent. Anyone who raises troops to cause chaos will be pardoned by the court and properly settled as long as he surrenders.
Huang Mingyuan moved many people with such sincerity.
No one wants to become a gangster, especially the Jiangnan gentry with a big family and business. In the past, all the people in Jiangnan were rebels. In addition to being kidnapped, most of them were involved in rebellion cases and had no way to survive. They rebelled just to protect themselves and survive. This time, Huang Mingyuan pardoned everyone on behalf of the court, allowing everyone to see the hope of life and have a choice.
Now that the Sui Dynasty is flourishing, Jiangnan has been plowed many times by the imperial plow, and those rebellious and determined people have long since died. This time, as long as there was a way to survive, most of the people took the opportunity to surrender.
Therefore, as Huang Mingyuan expected, after a large number of prisoners were released, rebels of all sizes from all over the country quickly surrendered to the government, and the situation in the entire Jiangnan area stabilized instantly.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers also dealt a heavy blow to those rebels who had a firm attitude and refused to surrender, and resolutely suppressed them. Lai Hu'er, who was ordered to put down the rebellion, went all the way south and defeated the rebellions in Hangzhou, Muzhou, Yuezhou and other places. Guo Yan, who stayed behind in Yanling, also joined the follow-up reinforcements and took advantage of the situation to move westward. Its main force also merged with the officers and soldiers from Xizhou, Luzhou and other places to quell the rebellion in Jiangzhou, Xuanzhou, Shezhou and other places.
At this point, the vigorous Jiangnan rebellion was quickly put down. All that was left was the court's appeasement of Jiangnan and the fight for people's hearts.
Although the chaos in Jiangnan has stabilized, Huang Mingyuan still has to report to the emperor, so the remnants of Wan'antang still have to be investigated, and they have to be wiped out.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Soon after the siege of Wuzhou was relieved, the main force of the Sui army counterattacked Kunshan City. The rebels in Kunshan City were already demoralized, so they were quickly defeated. The leader of the thieves, Xie Yi, died in the battle. Wang Bao led his troops to break out of the siege and fled to the northeast.
On November 2, nearly half a month after the siege of Wuzhou was lifted, Liu Quan, the governor of Wuzhou, led his troops to attack Haiyang City in Changshu County, captured Wang Bao, the leader of the Wuzhou rebellion alive, and completely put down the rebellion in Wuzhou. All rebellions within.
With the quelling of the rebellion and the olive branch thrown by Huang Mingyuan, the originally unruly Jiangnan family had no choice but to start showing favor to Huang Mingyuan for the sake of family interests. Huang Mingyuan also used the power of these aristocratic families to privately clean up the uncooperative families and the real hostile forces exposed through the rebellion, secretly sorting out the entire Wuzhou.
At this time, Huang Mingyuan wanted to select officials in Wuzhou on behalf of the emperor. After hearing about this, various aristocratic families also became excited. Everyone knows that no matter how deep the family background is, if you want to continue the family legacy, you still need to have enough children to serve as officials.
? ?In order to get in touch with Huang Mingyuan, the big families in Wuzhou gave gifts to Huang Mingyuan one after another. Huang Mingyuan did not refuse anyone who came, and kept everything in his pocket to reassure people. These people seemed to feel that this was not enough, and in the name of Huang Mingyuan saving Wuzhou scholars, they requested a banquet for Huang Mingyuan to deepen their relationship with Huang Mingyuan.
At least this is the reason for this banquet.
In fact, Huang Mingyuan does not believe in these Jiangnan aristocratic families. Because of the geographical isolation, the Jiangnan family is even more arrogant and arrogant than the Guandong family. When Hou Jing descended to Liang Dynasty, in order to marry the Jiangnan family, he asked Xiao Yan to marry Wang and Xie's daughter. However, Emperor Wu of Liang decisively rejected him and even replied: "Wang and Xie Gaomen are not coincidental, but they can be married to Zhu." , Zhang will visit you." That means you are not worthy of a girl from the Wang family or the Xie family, so you can only marry someone from the Zhu family or the Zhang family. Hou Jing was very angry because of this and swore a poisonous oath: "I will use the children of Wu as slaves!"
Who is Hou Jing? He is the one who dares to compete with Gao Cheng (Gao Huan¡¯s eldest son) for the world. Therefore, the Hou Jing Rebellion that year was also caused by the Jiangnan family seeking death.
At this time, although these Jiangnan aristocratic families no longer have the arrogant status of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Huang Mingyuan still does not feel that he has the strength and status to make the entire Jiangnan aristocratic family bow to him, even if he wants to compete for enough resources for the family from Huang Mingyuan. Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu from Wuzhou, Yu, Wei, Kong, and He from Yuezhou, these represent the heritage of the entire Jiangnan aristocratic family, and so many Jiangnan aristocratic families lowered their heads to invite me, maybe they have some purpose, thinking Realize it from yourself.
However, Huang Mingyuan could not weaken his momentum, so he had to agree.
Liu Quan also felt that the actions of the Wuzhou aristocratic family were a bit abrupt and even overshadowed the guests. He was worried that something would cause trouble, so he decided to move the entire banquet to the Governor's Mansion to protect Huang Mingyuan's safety.
Huang Mingyuan also privately asked Lu Zhen, who was accompanying him, what the other party wanted to do. Lu Zhen believed that "either he wanted to take advantage of Lang Jun, or he wanted to take advantage of Lang Jun, or he wanted to take advantage of Lang Jun. There is no fear of good things at this banquet." (Remember. Website address: www.hlnovel.com
