Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 167, Fan Xian's wedding preparations, Fan Ruoruo is pregnant
Fan Xian felt lost, as his father-in-law eventually lost his position as prime minister.

Even after returning home and receiving numerous honors, it cannot cover up the fact of failure.

After the officials could no longer see Prime Minister Lin’s carriage, they wiped away their tears and left in scattered groups.

Liu Hong and Fan Xian walked side by side, escorted by a staff member and personal guards from the Supervisory Council.

"You and Lin Wan'er are about to get married. Congratulations! When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."

Liu Hong spoke calmly.

Fan Xian glared at Liu Hong unhappily.

"If you quickly withdraw the 30,000 soldiers of the garrison division from Kyoto, I will be overjoyed. Now there are hundreds of soldiers guarding every street in Kyoto, making people panic."

"Come on, come on..."

Liu Hong's tone was somewhat meaningful. The garrison division had 30,000 people.

He escalated the noodle stall incident into a big deal, causing a commander to resign and six governors-general to be dismissed from their posts.

After another week, these 10,000 people were almost under our control.

Naturally, the garrison division can be released.

Fan Xian also knew what Liu Hong was planning, and shook his head and sighed.

I hope these things can be dealt with quickly! Otherwise, my marriage with Wan'er might not be peaceful.

"After you and Lin Wan'er get married and take over the inner treasury, His Majesty will definitely send you to Jiangnan."

Liu Hong seemed to speak casually, but it made Fan Xian's heart tighten.

Is something going to happen?
"What do you mean?"

Fan Xian stopped and looked unhappy.

I have made up my mind that if this guy Liu Hong still wants to use me to accomplish something.

Even if he had to ignore Fan Ruoruo, Fan Xian was determined to turn against Liu Hong.

This time he believed Liu Hong's words, and then! His father-in-law did return home in glory.

However, a total of 2,000 officials were imprisoned, and more than 3,000 officials were beaten with sticks in court. Some of those with fragile bodies were beaten to death on the spot.

His mother-in-law, the Princess Royal, had already arranged a deficit of 20 million silver taels for him, and Fan Xian really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Nothing, just want you to pay attention! The Ming family is just a clown, the eldest princess and the second prince are behind them, you can't shake them easily."

Liu Hong shook his head and was still not prepared to tell Chen Pingping about his and his plan.

It is better to respect Chen Pingping's plan and give Fan Xian a quiet wedding.

After half a month of suppression, winning over, and adding sabotage, the garrison division also lost one commander and six governors.

Finally, ten thousand people reluctantly joined Liu Hong's army.

However, the garrison division and the palace guards are the most elite part of the capital's army.

With the generals Liu Hong has in Kyoto at the moment, I'm afraid he won't be able to subdue those arrogant and powerful generals.

After pondering for a while, Liu Hong exchanged interests with the Qin family through the Ministry of War.

Agree to appoint Chang Kun, deputy admiral of Jiaozhou Navy, as admiral of Jiaozhou Navy.

At the same time, Huang Xuan of Qianlong Bay brought his general to Kyoto to report on his work and took over the command of the garrison division.

However, the power of the heroes who fought in the war between the two countries in Qianlong Bay was weakened again, leaving only Fatty Lu and Moss to hold on.

Zhang Liang did not comment on this.

Instead, Er Gouzi ran to the mansion again and again, expressing his dissatisfaction openly and secretly.

If this continues, Qianlong Bay will completely belong to Han Xin's newly promoted generals.

"Sir! Qianlong Bay is the foundation you built with your own hands. Even if Han Xin is transferred back to Kyoto, it is better than transferring Huang Xuan back to Kyoto."

Er Gouzi tried to persuade him earnestly.

Liu Hong finally got tired of it and patted Ergouzi on the shoulder.

"If we ask Han Xin to come here, wouldn't that be a waste of talent? He is a talented general who can lead a million troops. How can a mere 10,000 people be enough for Han Xin to display his talents?"

In fact, Liu Hong was worried that Han Xin's talent would be revealed too much.

Being transferred away by Emperor Qing, Liu Hong was undoubtedly cutting off his own arm.

Er Gouzi looked at Liu Hong's determined expression and sighed, knowing that he could not persuade Liu Hong.

We can only place all our hopes on those generals being loyal enough!
"Let's not talk about this for now. Has the murderer who injured those girls in Baoyue Tower been found?"

Liu Hong poured himself a cup of tea.

Er Gouzi was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Hong to still remember these little things. Then he reacted and spoke quickly.

"Brother, the murderer of Baoyue Tower has been found. The background is a bit complicated. He is the nephew of Li Ye, the governor of Jingdu. Some of them are disciples of the second prince, and some are disciples of the crown prince."

"My dear clan member..."

Liu Hong suddenly got a headache.

Ordinary dignitaries don’t care much about his current status.

Instead, we should be careful with eunuchs and clan members!
After the Grand Bell Incident, Emperor Qing lost trust in officials.

The clan members who were well-behaved and the eunuchs who were like lapdogs behaved well in this incident.

In the past few days, officials in key positions in Kyoto have inexplicably received transfer orders.

Afterwards, the clan palace sent people to take over. With their ancestors' titles in hand, there was no problem with the rank of this group of people, and no one could say it was not true.

It is very intriguing to think how many of the clan members who are just lying around and waiting to die relying on the blood of their ancestors and the royal family are truly capable.

There were also eunuchs from the East Factory... Under the pretext of serious corruption, they sent eunuchs to various departments.

In fact, isn’t this a typical example of eunuchs interfering in politics?
If Liu Hong wanted to arrest someone now, he would have to go to Kyoto Prefecture, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Clan House.

There is no way! It is a sensitive period.

Emperor Qing, who was suspicious by nature, became even more suspicious.

"Let's just leave this matter alone for a while! Take good care of the injured girls. If they want to get married, we'll prepare dowries for them."

Liu Hong sighed, thinking that he had dug a hole for himself.

Er Gouzi changed his mind and made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Liu Hong.

"Brother, the soldiers led by Cheng Jushu are still in Kyoto. Why don't we send them..."

Obviously, it wouldn't work to do it openly, so Er Gouzi had evil intentions and wanted to assassinate him.

"no!"

Liu Hong rejected it outright.

The thing he hated most about Emperor Qing was that he liked to take advantage of opportunities to carry out assassinations.

If Liu Hong crossed his bottom line just because of a few idle clan members, then what would be the difference between him and Emperor Qing!
Rules are rules! They protect every beneficiary. If you don’t follow the rules, how can you expect others to follow them?

Er Gouzi retreated reluctantly.

Liu Hong walked out of the study and looked at the bustling Shangshu Mansion, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Fan Ruoruo had a joyful smile on her face as she was busy directing everyone to prepare gifts for Fan Xian's wedding.

Otherwise, why do they say you should marry a wife who is a family-friendly person?

Fan Ruoruo spent five or six thousand taels of silver on all this.

Generally, if a seventh-rank military officer wanted to be promoted, the bribe he gave to Liu Hong would be just this amount.

Shi Chanli's face was full of pain as he calculated the account books.

Although the Shangshu Mansion had more than 200,000 taels of silver, Fan Ruoruo spent one fortieth of it in one go.

If this continues, how can we live like this?
Do you really want to force Liu Hong to become a corrupt official like Heshen?
"Oh, never mind! As long as she's happy."

Liu Hong patted Shi Chanli and sighed.

There was no need to break up with Fan Ruoruo over this matter. Besides, maybe two months of hard work on Fan Ruoruo was too much.

In addition, Liu Hong did not deliberately control it.

Fan Ruoruo is already pregnant.

This was Liu Hong's first offspring, announcing to his subordinates that he was in good health and consolidating the loyalty of his followers.

"Zhang Liang, Shi Chanli, when the child is born, are you willing to be his teacher?"

Liu Hong asked in a joking tone.

Zhang Liang hesitated and shook his head.

"Sir, you should be taught by a great scholar when you are born. I am not talented enough and I am afraid I am not qualified to be of great use!"

Shi Chanli, whose eyes had originally lit up, had no choice but to refuse.

Zhang Liang was a smart man. He knew Liu Hong's attitude towards Fan Ruoruo and was afraid that she would end up in a bad situation in the future.

As for whether Liu Hong had any feelings for Fan Ruoruo's child, Zhang Liang would not gamble.
