After Fuluguo Chong, Ling Pu and others were sent back to the capital, they soon caused an uproar.
Since the Manchus entered the Pass, many Han people involved in the rebellion have been discovered every year.
Of course, there were also Manchus who were framed and had some connection with the rebellion.
But no high-ranking Manchus like Fuluguo Chong and Heshun were involved.
What were the Manchus trying to gain by helping the Han people rebel?
Are you after wealth and glory? Or is it power and status?
Can what the Han people give be more than what the people of the same ethnic group give?
Isn't this nonsense?
Everyone was completely confused as to what was wrong with Zhaojia Fuluguochong and Guoluolu Heshun.
The families of the two men and the flags they belonged to were in chaos, like a hornet's nest that had been poked.
The families that were related to the two men by marriage were like frightened birds, and began to fear that the two men would implicate themselves, so they frantically sent gifts to Kangxi's favorites, hoping to find out the truth.
The Hesheli family was in a hot situation, but this time Soetu was like a turtle hiding in its shell, not daring to have any contact with anyone.
It was he who sent Ling Pu to the port. If the emperor really investigates the matter, he will definitely be in trouble.
Fortunately, this matter was discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it was discovered by someone else, not to mention him, the Crown Prince would also be in trouble.
This was the first time that Soetu was so badly betrayed by a servant, and one can imagine how furious he was.
But now he didn't dare to make any movement at all, for fear of giving the censors something to talk about.
Otherwise, even if the emperor does not intend to pursue the matter, his political enemies will not let him off easily.
In a mansion not far from Hesheli's house, Juercha Erxi was pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously.
Guo Luoluo Heshun was born in the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner, belonging to the same banner as him, and he had a very good relationship with his family.
Years ago, he arranged marriage for his son Yunzhang and Heshun's daughter, and the wedding date was set for September.
Who could have imagined that such a sudden change would happen in the middle of the journey?
Juercha Erxi felt so nauseous that he almost vomited to death.
His great-grandfather was Juercha Anfeyanggu, one of the founding heroes of the country.
He is known as one of the Five Founding Ministers along with Dong'e Heheli, Niuhuru Eyidu, Guwalgiya Feiyingdong and Tonggiya Huerhan.
During its heyday, the family was comparable to the Tongjia people.
Although he had only inherited the title of viscount after four generations, his cousin Fasai was now the hereditary governor of the Bordered Blue Banner.
In fact, since the day the Bordered Blue Banner was founded, all of its hereditary commanders were, without exception, members of the Juercha family.
This shows how influential the Juercha family is.
But this time, being implicated by Heshun, I don’t know if it will cause the emperor to be dissatisfied with the family.
Erxi felt both regretful and upset.
What he regretted was that he and Heshun had just arranged to marry their children to each other, and what made him sad was that he only had this one friend in the flag who he could talk to.
I'm afraid that in the future...
Erxi walked around twice more, and then a man hurried in at the door. It was Zale, the housekeeper in the front yard.
"Master, someone from the East Palace has come to tell you that Master Fa wants you to come over!"
Erxi paused, then replied helplessly,
"Prepare the sedan chair."
His cousin Fase lived on the same street as him. The two houses were not far apart and he could usually walk there, but today he didn't want to be watched by others.
The central hall of the Fasi Palace.
At this moment, the room was solemn and full of people.
The elders of the clan, who are usually only seen during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival, are all here now.
As Erxi entered the room, the elders stood up instantly and all their eyes fell on him.
For a moment, Erxi's scalp went numb.
"Chief..."
Fase called out expressionlessly. As he had been in a high position for many years, he had developed an air of majesty without even getting angry. Erxi felt a little frightened.
Although he is the clan leader, he is not qualified to sit in the position of hereditary assistant commander. This is also a means for the royal family to guard against the Juercha family.
Erxi sighed and walked to the empty seat to the right of Fasai and sat down.
My heart feels more bitter.
The intention of launching a war to hold him accountable was clearly visible on his face.
After everyone was seated, Phasai spoke first.
"I heard that you met Heshun's daughter the day before yesterday?"
Ershi nodded.
"She knelt at the door herself to block me. I can't just stay at home all the time. That would be embarrassing."
"Then you'll let her into your mansion?"
An elder with a hot temper suddenly became unhappy.
"Don't you know what crime her father committed?"
"But she's Yun Zhang's future wife, and the formalities are already halfway through. If you change your mind at the last minute, won't that make the family bear the reputation of being treacherous?"
Erxi couldn't help but retort.
Gillan is so innocent.
Moreover, he knew Heshun's character well. If he had not been deceived, he would never have been involved in the case of treason.
Besides, if he simply closed the door and refused visitors, what would other people in Beijing think?
Will Yun Zhang get married in the future?
"Humph, betrayal is much better than being charged with treason, right?"
Someone else refuted Erxi with dissatisfaction.
As soon as the word "treason" came out, the atmosphere in the room was instantly ignited, and everyone began to talk about Erxi's faults.
"That's right! You did something wrong."
"If I had known that Heshun was such an unreliable person, I should not have associated with their family in the first place."
"Isn't Yun Zhang married to Ji Lan yet? In my opinion, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible to prevent him from bringing trouble to our family."
But there were also a few wise men who stood on Ershi's side.
"That's not true. Heshun's entire family was taken, leaving only Jilan. Who knows, the emperor might have ignored her because she had an engagement with Yun Zhang."
