Wang Haoxian raised his head and looked at Xu Hongru, his expression becoming ferocious. He nodded vigorously and said, "I'll listen to you!"
Wang Haoxian made a great decision to make this decision at this moment.
After the two of them had discussed it, they began to mobilize manpower.
A part of the people pretended to attack Qufu, while the main army quietly marched towards Jining, bypassing the government troops and heading directly for Jining City.
At the same time, in Jining City.
Zhu Youxiao was a little annoyed.
Zhu Youxiao cannot leave until the situation in Shandong is settled.
But after staying in Jining City for so many days, having visited all the places he should visit, Zhu Youxiao really didn't know where to go.
As for the Shandong situation, Zhu Youxiao believed that everything that needed to be done had been done. At this point, everything had been settled.
It was impossible to completely destroy the Kong family. Those rebels were really incompetent. If I wanted to deal with the Kong family, I could only confiscate some of their property and confiscate some of their land. Beyond that, it was unrealistic to do anything else.
Of course, if he could hold a grudge, after returning to the capital, he would secretly send people to do some small things, cutting off the flesh bit by bit, and finally destroying the Kong family. At that time, no one would say anything, and no one would even look at him.
The aboveboard actions have to stop now.
In addition, there is also the Prince of Lu’s Palace.
The Luwang Mansion incident also came to an end. Zhu Youxiao also confiscated money and land, taking away half of the Luwang Mansion's property, which could be said to be enough.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also punished other members of the royal family, punished corrupt officials, and confiscated a lot of property.
In the past few days, many ships have departed from Jining City and returned to the capital, all of which are transporting these properties.
Although Zhu Youxiao could still continue to plunder, he could no longer do so. If he continued, the entire Shandong province would be ruined.
However, in this battle, the Meng family performed much better than the Kong family. Mencius' descendants spontaneously organized a militia and actually put up quite a fight.
Obviously, the title of Duke Yansheng of the Kong family has no benefits at all. Once a person is promoted to a high position, he will become arrogant easily.
Zhu Youxiao has already finished the affairs in Shandong, and all that remains is to finish it off.
The emperor Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't need to do the finishing work himself, he could just leave it to Xu Guangqi and the others. Even Xu Guangqi didn't need to be there, Chen Sihai could be put here to finish the work, and there would be no problem at all.
With nothing to do, Zhu Youxiao naturally felt bored.
Walking out of the house, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who came in from outside, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
This was the second time Zhu Youxiao saw Xu Guangqi coming here in three days.
To be honest, Zhu Youxiao was a little reluctant to see Xu Guangqi.
"Your Majesty, I am Xu Guangqi, your servant." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi hurriedly saluted.
Xu Guangqi was naturally meticulous, but Zhu Youxiao's face was not smiling at all. He waved his hand weakly and said, "My dear, what brings you here today?"
"Your Majesty, I am here to invite you to return to Beijing," said Xu Guangqi.
Zhu Youxiao sighed.
This was not the first time Xu Guangqi had put forward this suggestion. In the past few days, he had been encouraging Zhu Youxiao to return to the capital.
In Xu Guangqi's words, the rebellion in Shandong has already reached a point where it has been suppressed in the past few days, and there is no point for Your Majesty to be here. Next, pacifying the people and calming Shandong are the officials' responsibilities, not Your Majesty's.
If an official does not do well, then punish him severely. Your Majesty does not need to keep an eye on him. Now that Your Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time, although the people in the capital are not uneasy, it is not a good thing for the emperor to be away from the capital for a long time.
Moreover, there has been such a big commotion in Shandong this time, and the whole world is in turmoil. Your Majesty should naturally stay in the capital.
For this purpose, Xu Guangqi even wrote a book, elaborating his reasons in detail.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao understood that Xu Guangqi meant to stop him from going south and to send him back to the capital as soon as possible. In the end, it can be summed up in four words: quit while you are ahead.
In Xu Guangqi's words, Shandong has caused such a big disturbance that the whole country is shaken. Now everyone is worried about Your Majesty, officials everywhere are in a state of panic, and scholars all over the world have lost their way.
At a time like this, reassuring the people is the most important thing. As long as Your Majesty returns to the capital, everything will be settled. Going back to regain the people's confidence and appease the scholars of the world is the most urgent task.
There is no benefit in continuing to go south. As for silver, Your Majesty has already made a lot of money on this trip.
Xu Guangqi followed Zhu Youxiao and was considered Zhu Youxiao's steward this time. Naturally, he knew Zhu Youxiao's accounts very well.
Your Majesty has made over 17 million silver coins this time, as well as a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and shop deeds. These things will definitely be sold in the future, and even if they can't be sold, they will be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is all money.
In Xu Guangqi's opinion, this money was enough for His Majesty to use for some time, so there was no need to take it away to get more money. It was enough to deal with this guy.
If we continue to raise money, it will definitely cause local backlash and the cost will outweigh the gains.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said helplessly, "What else do you want to say, my dear?"
Xu Guangqi knew that his actions were disliked by His Majesty. However, at this point, Xu Guangqi knew that he could not back down, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, Jiangnan cannot be moved now."
