    Early on the second day after returning from the Lu family, Huang Mingyuan summoned Huang Taoshu to listen to his report on the arrests of the remnants of Wan'antang.  Huang Taoshu was ruthless and shrewd. Although Huang Mingyuan strictly ordered him not to cause unrest in Wuzhou City, he secretly arrested hundreds of people inside and outside Wuzhou City, and implicated countless others.  Of course, this time the Sui army's action had a clear goal, and they wiped out Wan'antang in one fell swoop.

    " Unlike Yu Shicheng, who is brainless and reckless, although Huang Taoshu arrested a lot of people, they all have conclusive evidence that can be convincing.  Therefore, although everyone inside and outside Wuzhou was alarmed, it did not cause much turmoil.

    Seeing the changes in the situation these days, Huang Mingyuan knew that the heat of the Wuzhou family was coming, so he had to tighten and loosen his grip.

    After Huang Mingyuan's actions here at Huang Taoshu made him feel confident, he summoned all the aristocratic families in Wuzhou to come to the funeral.

    Although everyone kept asking to see Huang Mingyuan, many people were nervous when Huang Mingyuan really wanted to see them.

    This is the first time Huang Mingyuan has taken action since he was assassinated. Gu Hong and others are all frightened, whether they are dead or alive, the result may be today.

    As one of the representatives of the Wuzhou family, the Lu family also came to Huang Mingyuan's residence, but compared to others, they were much more confident.

    Everyone entered the main hall and sat down respectively. Gu Hong and others looked at the food on the table and were all surprised.  What is displayed on this table are Wuzhou's special foods, wild vegetables, water shield soup, and sea bass.  These things are all trash to the big families in Wuzhou, but Huang Mingyuan's purpose of hosting a banquet on such an occasion is probably self-evident.

    Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

    Everyone sat down, and Huang Mingyuan stood up and said to everyone: "When Mingyuan came to Wuzhou, he received a lot of hospitality from all the gentlemen. Today we are hosting a banquet to invite you back. Don't you think the banquet is too shabby."

    No one dared to say anything, what happened last time was not that pleasant.

    So they drank and had a banquet, and Huang Mingyuan seemed to be a little more interested, chatting with everyone from time to time.

    Mingyuan picked up a piece of delicious seabass and chewed it leisurely, looking leisurely.  Putting down his chopsticks, Huang Mingyuan said casually to Gu Hong beside him: "Mr. Gu, the taste of this water shield perch is indeed a rare delicacy. I really can't get tired of eating it. Mr. Gu is really lucky to be able to eat such delicacies often in Wuzhou."

    Because of his higher status among the Wuzhou aristocratic families, Gu Hong was in the upper position. At this time, Gu Hong was smiling, nodding and replied: "Wuzhou delicacies are elegant and graceful, with endless aftertaste. I am all old and useless."  People like us can only place our love for Wuzhou¡¯s landscape and the taste of the water shield perch.¡±

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Gu Gong is so humble. When Mr. Ji Ying was an official in Luoyang, when he saw the autumn wind, he thought about wild vegetables, water shield soup, and seabass in Wuzhong, so he left the official position and returned to his hometown, which was admirable. Mr. Ji Ying had a noble temperament and was willing to do whatever he wanted.  My heart is at ease and I don't want to be in this world, but it is a pity that such a great talent ends up in the countryside. Today, the world is peaceful and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. It is the time when it is necessary for Gu Gong and other talented people to be born and serve as officials. How can Gu Gong shirk it?"

    Gu Hong was overjoyed after hearing this. He had been trying so hard to fawn over Huang Mingyuan just for today.  However, Gu Hong was also experienced and said hurriedly: "I am too old and weak to do anything." In fact, Gu Hong was only forty-seven years old.

    A weak head and brain is a common problem among the upper classes.

    Huang Mingyuan then took Gu Hong's hand and said: "When Mingyuan came to Wuzhou before, the emperor told Mingyuan that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is full of treasures and people. This land of Wuzhou is the first-class good place in the south of the Yangtze River."  In this place, Duke Gu is one of the most talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. He came here from Ming Yuan, shouldering the task of selecting talents for the country. Such a big event still needs the help of Duke Gu. If Duke Gu places his love on the mountains and rivers, he will be able to achieve his ambition, but face the situation.  How can we do this to so many Jiangnan bastards?"

    Gu Hong smiled even happier.

    "The Duke is so sincere. Although I am dull, I dare not obey my orders."

    Although Gu Hong seems to be evasive, everyone knows that once Gu Hong bows his head, the Gu family will benefit the most.

    Huang Mingyuan helped Gu Hong up and said: "Today the imperial court selects talented people from the south of the Yangtze River. It is a gratifying event. The emperor is kind and does not distinguish between each other. Gu Gong and you must keep in mind the emperor's benevolence and righteousness."

    ?? Gu Hong understood what Huang Mingyuan meant.  This is a surrender and a promise from the Jiangnan family to Yang Guang. Yang Guang will introduce the Jiangnan family into the court in the future, and the Jiangnan family will follow the lead of the saint.

    Your life is gone, what face do you need?

    At this time, Gu Hong actually stood up and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, today you are so kind to us. Don't think that we are despicable and have done something extraordinary. It is such a great favor from heaven. How dare we not follow the edict of the saint and work so hard?"  , to repay the divine grace. My Gu family is willing to dedicate three hundred hectares of land to the emperor to show the loyalty of the Gu family."

    Huang MingSeeing that Gu Hong was wise, he was overjoyed and stepped forward to help Gu Hong up.

    Gu Hong's appearance is extremely flattering, but it is the most realistic expression.  The imperial court's confidence in Jiangnan was the army, and the Jiangnan aristocratic family's confidence was their influence, but the imperial court's confidence was undoubtedly more terrifying.

    Yang Guang wants to deal with the Jiangnan family, firstly, to take back part of the land to suppress the expansion of the family's strength; secondly, to make it his own yes-man, able to balance the power of the court.  At least now, it seems that the Jiangnan family knows Yang Guang's bottom line and is sincere in not clinging to the land.

    Although three hundred hectares is not a lot, it has already strained the Gu family's muscles and bones.

    When everyone saw Gu Hong kneeling down to offer soil, they all looked sideways and fell silent.  Gu Hong was their leader, the leader of the Jiangnan family, and he just knelt down to Huang Mingyuan like this?  Moreover, the land passed down from the ancestors was just given to the court.

    People¡¯s hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world is getting worse.

    Of course, they also cleverly saw Gu Hong showing his loyalty, and they also shouted: "Serve the Holy Emperor."

    Huang Mingyuan was very satisfied.

    The Wuzhou Aristocratic Family is the leader and the vane of other aristocratic families in Jiangnan. Their attitude today has set an example for other states and counties.

    Of course, the cooperation between Yang Guang and Jiangnan Family is more than just that.  Today is just a statement, there are many more specific methods. In short, the Sui Dynasty selects talents from Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan family helps the Sui Dynasty stabilize Jiangnan. It is mutually beneficial.  Both parties are doing good business.

    It was a banquet where the guests and hosts had a great time. Everyone dispersed very late. No one mentioned the previous assassination at all, as if they had forgotten it all.  Next, when everyone goes back, it will be time for the imperial court to select talents and at the same time, the imperial court's influence will penetrate into the south of the Yangtze River.  This time, the families succumbed again. Anyway, they had succumbed too many times since crossing south.

    As for the matter of Liu Qionghua, the Wuzhou family has been cleaned up internally, and many people have died because of it.  And Huang Mingyuan couldn't go on a killing spree, so the Wuzhou family could only compensate.

    The Wuzhou family privately gave Huang Mingyuan a hundred hectares of land, countless money, and a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen that Huang Mingyuan urgently needed.  And this matter can only be left alone.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
