The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

While Li Chenghan was thinking, a young eunuch hurried into the hall and reported to Li Chenghan: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Nan'an, the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion of the Jia family, the first-class divine general, and the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Works, Mr. Jia, request to see you!"

After hearing the news of the Prince of Nan'an and the Rongguo Mansion, Li Chenghan came back to his senses.

"Tell Cao Shaoqin to arrest those who should be put into the officialdom by the Rongguo Mansion and the Prince of Nan'an, and confiscate their property!"

"As for the people in the Rongguo Mansion and the Prince of Nan'an, let them wait outside."

Li Chenghan narrowed his eyes and said to the young eunuch who came to report.

"As you wish!"

After receiving Li Chenghan's order, the young eunuch who reported immediately took the order and left.

Outside the palace...

"Your Majesty, how long do you want us to wait?"

Nan'an Wang said to the eunuch who came to deliver the message in a somewhat irritable manner.

"I don't know about this!"

The eunuch shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Of course, he would not tell Nan'an Wang and Jia Mu and others that Emperor Li Chenghan asked the East Factory to investigate their people.

Faced with the eunuch's answer, Nan'an Wang and Jia Mu and others were helpless and uneasy.

Nan'an Wang was better, at least he had military power.

And if he got into trouble, as long as he didn't rebel, the other three kings of different surnames would not ignore him because of the relationship of lips and teeth.

But Jia Mu and others were different.

The Jia family had always been on the decline.

Now the Jia family finally had a concubine, and she was the first emperor pregnant with a dragon child.

The Jia family was in a good mood and had the emperor's favor.

But before they could be happy for two days, it was reported that the Jia family had colluded with the Prince of Nan'an, and now it was causing a stir in the city.

If their family lost the emperor's favor because of this, they would cry to death.

While the Prince of Nan'an and Jia's mother were waiting in agony, the East Factory began to make big moves.

The East Factory had investigated the relationship between the Jia family and the Prince of Nan'an and even the Prince of Beijing behind the scenes.

If Li Chenghan had not ordered that all corrupt officials should not be investigated at once, causing turmoil in the court and no one to take over all the government offices and departments.

Not to mention the power of the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family, I'm afraid that the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family's East Factory could also be investigated!

As time passed, the storm of the Ministry of Revenue being confiscated, which had just subsided, rose again.

Among them, there are also eunuchs from the East Factory who rode fast horses out of the city to Luoyang, Chang'an and Jiangnan to convey the arrest missions in these places.

Although the East Factory currently only knows that those who are to be arrested are closely related to the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family, and they are all officials obtained by the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family.

But it is enough for the East Factory to know these and arrest people directly.

Not to mention how powerful the East Factory is, no matter how they act as officials, they cannot withstand investigation.

For this reason, none of those who rely on the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family to become officials can escape.

So, let alone those who rely on connections to get to the top and have no ability, how many of them are good?

I am afraid that if these people are confiscated, they will be another group of corrupt officials who are harming the country and the people.

The country will also collect an extra sum, and the administration of officials will be better.

In this way, with the actions of the East Factory, many officials who were still working in the government office were directly arrested by the East Factory, and their bodies became weak.

Some of their family members were directly frightened and fainted, and some were frightened to cry.

They themselves and their families knew what they had done.

Although they had been afraid of such a day for a long time, they didn't think they would be in trouble when they thought that they had the support of Prince Nan'an and Rongguo Mansion behind them.

But who knew that today the news of Prince Nan'an and the Jia family colluding with their friends had just been spread and caused a storm in the city. They heard about this and were worried about their backers.

Who would have thought that before the news of the backer's trouble came out, they were arrested by the East Factory first.

Because there were many officials arrested, and all the arrested officials were cultivated and promoted by the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia family.

So the Prince of Nan'an's Mansion and the Jia family's Ning and Rong Mansions soon learned the news.

As soon as he learned the news, Jia Zhen set off for Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da, the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion, and the officials of the Prince of Nan'an's Mansion rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

Originally, Lai Da and the officials of the Prince of Nan'an's Mansion thought that the Prince of Nan'an and Jia's mother were still in the palace and didn't know the situation.

But who knew that the moment they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the Prince of Nan'an and Jia's mother standing at the gate of the palace, anxiously watching each other.

Seeing the Prince of Nan'an and Jia's mother, the officials of the Prince of Nan'an's Mansion and Lai Da were confused but hurried forward to report the situation.

After listening to the report, Prince Nan'an's face changed.

Grandmother Jia's body seemed to be drained of strength, and she collapsed to the ground.

If it weren't for Madam Wang and Yuanyang who were supporting her, Grandmother Jia would have fallen down and hurt herself.

At this moment, a young eunuch walked out with small steps and said to Prince Nan'an and Grandmother Jia and the others: "Your Majesty's oral order!"

Hearing the eunuch's words, Prince Nan'an and Grandmother Jia's family hurriedly bowed and responded respectfully.

"You must know better than me what you have done!"

"This time, I am only punishing you a little!

I hope you will be grateful for the emperor's grace and change your ways. Don't do those perverse things.

In addition, the rumors in Shenjing today are instigated by someone behind the scenes, and many forces are fanning the flames.

This matter shows that you have reached the point where everyone is pushing the wall down.

I hope you will not take my words as wind around your ears."

The words of the little eunuch made the Prince of Nan'an and the Jia Mu family tremble with fear.

But when they heard that someone was behind the scenes, and there was a group of people fanning the flames.

The Prince of Nan'an and the Jia Mu family, who had been scared for a long time, were furious.It rose from the bottom of my heart.

Well, they said that everything was fine, and everything was calm the moment before, but how come it was a turmoil in the next moment.

It turned out that someone was deliberately harming them!

Thinking that the people they arranged in the officialdom were removed one by one, they were also warned by the emperor.

Nan'an Wang, Jia Mu and Wang Furen were determined to find out the mastermind and the person who fanned the flames.

Fortunately, this time the emperor only touched their people and not them.

Otherwise, if the emperor was furious, they would be punished for hearing the words.

How could they not take revenge for such hatred.

As for Li Chenghan's saying that this was done deliberately by the mastermind behind the scenes, they had no doubt.

After all, Jia Yuanchun was pregnant with the emperor's child, and it was the emperor's first child. The emperor would be stupid to touch the Jia family at this critical moment.

After all, if Jia Yuanchun is anxious about this matter and the dragon offspring in her belly is gone, the biggest loss will not be to the Jia family but to the emperor.

After all, the emperor's child is so precious!

ps.: Apologies, because I cleaned the house yesterday and moved and cleaned today.

The landlord moved in with his wife and children before I finished moving.

So I delayed the update, and I was a little anxious to update.

So I'm very sorry, now I have packed everything back to my hometown, and I can resume the update with peace of mind.
