Chapter 2418: Calming People’s Hearts
For the palace maids and eunuchs, as long as they can continue to live in peace and stability, it doesn't matter who they serve.
From that day on, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were very busy for a while. By the time the entire capital city was settled down and everything was basically on track, more than a month had passed.
The dust has settled.
That night, the two of them could finally have dinner together and go to sleep together.
At night, they hugged each other on the bed. At that moment, their heartbeats were a little abnormal. Under the man's scorching gaze, Qiao Xuan blushed and softened. Although they were both in Beijing, they felt like they were reunited after a short separation.
An An was still in Hangzhou City. Qiao Xuan originally wanted to send someone to pick him up and bring him to Beijing for a family reunion, but Shao Yunduan persuaded her not to do so.
There are still undercurrents in the capital city. Hangzhou City is so far away from the capital city that he is really afraid.
The world has never been truly stable. If something happens to An An, neither of them will forgive themselves.
Qiao Xuan was also shocked when she heard this. "In that case, let An An stay in Hangzhou City first. With Tao Tao and Jia Heming around, An An will be safe! Later, let Xiao Qi go pick her up in person."
Shao Yunduan smiled: "I think so too."
No one is more reliable than Xiaoqi. Letting Xiaoqi pick up the person will ensure that nothing goes wrong.
But Xiaoqi can't leave now.
Although they had conquered the capital, the Second Prince still occupied a small half of Hebei, the entire Henan, almost the entire Hubei, and a small part of Anhui, almost occupying the entire Central Plains. Xiao Qi and his men were now stationed outside the city, stepping up training, and would send troops south in the second half of the year to fight against the Second Prince's lineage.
The longer this war drags on, the more difficult it becomes. Perhaps both sides can no longer endure it.
The spies reported that the Second Prince was busy mobilizing troops and conducting drills day and night without a single day of rest.
Shao Yunduan did not say much to Qiao Xuan about these things. He only reassured her that Jiangnan was safe and An An would be safe too. She could stay in the capital to accompany her and take care of the female relatives of the various imperial families.
Right now, these things are indeed more important.
The capital was initially settled, and the next step was to consolidate authority and win over the people's hearts. Qiao Xuan was in high spirits. She and Shao Yunduan had the same idea. These former dignitaries should be suppressed with both kindness and force.
Otherwise, the entire court will quickly be infiltrated by the dignitaries of the previous dynasty, and it will be hard to say whether this is a new dynasty or the previous dynasty.
They want to promote the people who follow them, and the powerful people of the previous dynasty must give way to new powerful people.
Qiao Xuan has sent someone to invite Madam Le Zheng to come to the capital. As Qiao Xuan's family, it is inevitable that the Le Zheng family will be conferred a title of nobility. They will have a place in the capital.
There will also be a place for Jia Heming, Zhang Wenshu, the Xie family, Lu Min, Gu Huaizhi, General Zhao's family, General Xu's family, Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, Hangxingshan, etc.
Shao Yunduan had even secretly informed the heads of these core and trusted families that they must be extremely cautious when marrying into the powerful families of the previous dynasty, and also asked their relatives and confidants to be equally cautious when marrying into the families of the previous dynasty.
Especially the position of the head of the family, must not be given to the girl from the powerful family of the previous dynasty, otherwise, there is no guarantee that there will not be trouble, if the family is in chaos, it will be too late to regret.
Shao Yunduan simply didn't believe that the dignitaries of the previous dynasty, who had lost their original power and could no longer do whatever they wanted as before, would have no ulterior motives.
