Fasai is also starting to have a headache now.
Gillan's presence also felt like a thorn in his throat.
However, he had no choice but to accept it, otherwise he would not only be branded as a traitor, but the emperor's impression of his family would also plummet.
But if Yun Zhang were to marry Ji Lan, wouldn't Yun Zhang have to worship her like an ancestor in the future?
The only benefit might be that people in the capital would look up to him.
Apart from this, there are no other benefits.
Others are not fools either, so how can they not see that the Juercha family is declining.
The emperor had originally intended to take back the hereditary position of Commander of the Bordered Blue Banner, and it was unknown whether this incident would become the opportunity for him to take action.
Moreover, there are not many outstanding younger generations in the family, and Yun Zhang is one of them.
After this incident, I'm afraid I'll never be able to make a comeback in the future.
But this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Erxi.
He betrayed his own son without doing anything, so he must be feeling bad.
Fasai rubbed his swollen temples with his fingers and finally sighed.
"Yun Zhang and Ji Lan's wedding date remains as planned..."
"How can this be possible?!"
The hot-tempered elder of the clan instantly became unhappy at first.
"How can a descendant of a criminal be worthy of being a clan wife?"
Fasai glanced at him calmly.
"She only married Yun Zhang, not the clan leader. How can she be a clan wife?"
When Erxi heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.
The intention of his cousin's words was obvious. He actually wanted to sacrifice Yun Zhang as a pawn.
"Can……"
Erxi was not very willing.
Among his sons, only Yun Zhang has outstanding abilities, while the other sons are of mediocre talent. If they really inherit the title, it is still a question whether they can suppress the branch line.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Fasai's words.
"If you insist on choosing Yun Zhang as your successor, then he can no longer sit on the position of clan leader. Think carefully!"
Hearing this, Erxi became a little dejected.
For the clan members, there is actually no difference between the two. The power of the clan leader will eventually fall into the hands of the side branches. But it is different for Yun Zhang.
If he inherited his title, Yun Zhang's life would at least be much better.
But if he gave the status of heir to another son, Yun Zhang would have to live by his brother's wishes.
For the first time, Erxi realized how terrible it was to choose the wrong wife for his son.
Everyone pondered for a moment, and then someone nodded in agreement.
"That's a feasible approach."
“It seems like this is the only way to do it!”
When Fasai saw that his proposal was adopted by the tribe, he did not feel relieved at all, but only helpless.
He cannot get involved in the position of patriarch, otherwise he would want to suppress Erxi and take the position himself.
The family meeting ended quickly. Before Erxi left, Fasi whispered to him,
"I have some friendship with the Dali Temple Minister. He told me that Heshun is only an accomplice, and his entire family will most likely be exiled in the end."
Upon hearing this, Erxi nodded with a complicated expression.
Then he walked out without saying a word.
Fasai looked at his back and shook his head.
His cousin...
Selfishness is not thorough enough, and benevolence, righteousness, and morality cannot be achieved to the extreme.
If he could really happily ask Yun Zhang to welcome Ji Lan into his home, and promise Guo Luoluo Heshun that he would take good care of Ji Lan and would not let her suffer any grievances.
Not only him, even the emperor would probably look up to Erxi.
What a waste of such a good background!
Such scenes occur in many families in Beijing.
The bondservant families also tightened their belts and became as obedient as little lambs.
Compared with the real powerful families, the interests of the Baoyi families are more complicated. If the emperor is determined to investigate.
I'm afraid that none of the bondservant families in the upper three banners can escape the blame.
But they are not the most uncomfortable.
The person who suffered the most was Prince Gong Changning.
In fact, as early as when Kangxi took away his power to participate in politics, some people in the capital speculated that he had committed some crime and was discovered by the emperor.
But there was no news in the capital at that time, so the matter was forgotten in just a few days.
After Fuluguo Chong and other criminals were escorted back to Beijing, Kangxi directly sent the files to the Dali Temple.
In this way, everyone knew the whole story.
For a while, Chang Ning was subjected to strange looks from all sides.
Chang Ning was the first royal family member in history to be implicated in a rebellion due to corruption and bribery.
This Prince Gong is also a character...
Chang Ning had lost his power to participate in politics, but he did not want any changes to his title, so he frequently went to Prince Yu's mansion.
Fuquan was annoyed by him.
So he went to see Zong Ling.
Chang Ning then became obedient.
Because the evidence submitted by Yinreng was very complete, the case was quickly settled.
Liu Qingzhou, Zhou Chongli and the county magistrate Wei Hongling were sentenced to the execution of their entire clans, the entire families of Fuluguo Chong and Ling Pu were executed, and Heshun was sentenced to exile his entire family to Ningguta.
Regarding this result, only a small number of nobles in the capital felt that it was justified.
Most of the rest felt that Kangxi's punishment was too harsh.
Although the ostensible crime of Fuluguo Chong and others was treason, any discerning person could see that they were deceived, otherwise they would never have been involved.
Even the extremely vigilant king of beasts has his moments of dozing off, and they cannot guarantee that they will not be involved in such cases in the future.
So the leaders of the five lower banners united and went to look for Kangxi.
Kangxi bluntly said that if they were not greedy, there would be no risk at all.
They deserve to end up like this now!
I dare to touch any money and I am not afraid of eating too much!
After this was said, what else could the flag owners say?
There's nothing to refute.
He could only leave the palace in frustration, and then sternly warned all the nobles under his command not to dare to touch any money.
When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since they were cheated by the prince once, they dared not tamper with any of the tasks handled by the prince.
Because no one can guarantee that next time the prince discovers their trick, they will have to pay all their family fortunes to fill the hole.
The more greedy you are, the less you will lose.
Who would dare to do such a deal?
I just didn't expect that this time the prince would be so cruel and directly kill Folguo Chong and others for treason.
Everyone just felt a sense of fear.
After Fuluguo Chong and others were executed, Zong Ling went to see Kangxi.
