[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

The next morning, just as Rong Enqing got up, Nanshan came in to report that the Imperial Guards had surrounded many mansions at midnight last night. The entire city was now under martial law. All people entering and leaving the capital were to be strictly checked.

Rong Enqing was shocked, and then he was delighted.

Obviously, this was because Emperor Taihe was ready to comply with her move and clean up the rebellious forces in the capital.

Rong Enqing carefully inquired about whose houses were besieged.

When she arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, she was not surprised at all. "Since the Duke of Anguo's Mansion has a well-hidden Xu Changping, there is no guarantee that other people will not have ulterior motives."

However, she had met Madam Zheng before. She was a very shrewd and wise old woman, and she didn't look like someone who would support her husband, son, or grandson in their rebellion.

However, these days, women's words are not very effective. Even if Duke Anguo did something, he might not necessarily ask for Madam Zheng's opinion.

It’s just a pity for Zheng.

"But everything is still uncertain. Outsiders only say that there is a siege, but the guards have not entered the palace, and there have been no other actions."

Nanshan consoled her, then said with embarrassment: "But, if this happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send Miss Five back."

"It's okay. Just let her live in the mansion."

After Rong Enqing finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She was about to go to the palace with Yun Ye to meet the emperor. The outcome was unknown. She was actually worried about others.

Nanshan hesitated and said, "Madam, the Rong family is also among the besieged people."

Rong Enqing was confused for a moment, then he understood.

Even though the Rong family is stupid, it is still her family after all, so she should be on guard against them.

"Don't worry about them. Everything will be settled after I see His Majesty."

Rong Enqing didn't ask any more questions. He packed up and went into the palace with Yun Ye.

Because Emperor Taihe's actions last night were too big, he surrounded some people's homes and asked each family and mansion to clean up on their own, so today's morning court was skipped.

After entering the palace, Rong Enqing and his grandson successfully met Emperor Taihe.

However, when they saw Princess Anyang and Nanny Zhou kneeling in the hall, Rong Enqing and Yun Ye could not help but be stunned.

Rong Enqing quickly put away his curiosity and knelt down with Yun Ye to kowtow to Emperor Taihe.

There is no turning back today.

So, after the formalities, Yun Ye presented a letter of confession and began to explain the crimes of Shun'an Marquis' Mansion.

From Yun Yi's rebellion to Yun Hong's fake death to deceive the emperor. From Li Mao's contact with various parties to Xu Changping's secret gathering of people's hearts. From Yuan's identity to the hidden gold in the Marquis' Mansion...

Yun Ye laid out almost all the evidence of Rong Enqing's crimes in front of Emperor Taihe.

"My great-grandfather Yun Yi and his accomplices harbored evil intentions, disregarded the people of the world, betrayed morality and were ungrateful, and attempted to overthrow the Great Zhou. Although I am young, I know that my crimes are grave and I dare not beg for mercy. I will leave it to the emperor to decide."

Rong Enqing followed closely and added, "The rebels Yun Hong and Li Mao have been escorted out of the palace. The Marquis's mansion has tens of millions of gold hidden, which has been packed and sealed. Please send someone to receive it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Taihe had long known the purpose of the grandfather and grandson's visit, so he didn't hesitate to send people to take Yun Hong and Li Mao to prison. He also sent people to receive the gold.

After dealing with these two matters, what remains is to deal with the Shun'an Marquis Mansion.

It was no secret that Yun Yi had contacted various parties and was plotting a rebellion. However, it had never been made public.

The discussion was private, the plot was private, and the investigation was also private. Everything seemed to be covered with a fig leaf.

At this moment, Yun Ye wrote a letter to confess his guilt, which was like completely removing the veil.

Although it happened suddenly and disrupted some of his plans, it was also a good thing.

At least, the young marquis of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion came forward personally to confess his guilt, which confirmed the accusation that the Yun family was guilty of treason.

It also shows that Yun Yi has lost the support of the people, and even his own great-grandson does not stand on his side.

This can also greatly enhance his momentum.

In this way, he would have a legitimate reason to clean up those people.

But what should he do with Yun Ye and Shun’an Marquis Mansion?

Logically speaking, if someone is implicated in treason, even if the three clans are not exterminated, the male descendants of the direct line should not be left behind.

At this moment, Princess Anyang, who had been kneeling beside her, spoke.

"Your Majesty, the young marquis and the lady-in-waiting were both innocent victims, but now they are able to stand firm and sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice. Please forgive them."

Emperor Taihe pondered for a moment and sighed, "Well. Shun'an Marquis's Mansion will be confiscated, Yun Ye will be stripped of his title, Rong will be stripped of his imperial edict, demoted to a commoner, and banished from the capital within three days. He is not allowed to enter the capital without a summons. Shun'an Marquis's Mansion and all the servants who participated in the rebellion will be executed, and the rest will be sent to the army as men and sold as women."

After saying this, Princess Anyang wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Nanny Zhou. She stopped talking.

It was Rong Enqing who breathed a long sigh of relief and kowtowed in thanks with a look of surprise on his face.

Emperor Taihe didn't say much and readily let Rong Enqing and Yun Ye leave the palace.

Before leaving the palace, Rong Enqing took Yun Ye to see the Queen Mother, kowtowed three times to her, and returned the token to enter the palace. Only then did he leave the palace with ease.

When he left the palace, Yun Hong's Li Mao was no longer at the palace gate. He must have been taken away.

"Grandma, let's go home." Yun Ye held Rong Enqing's hand.

Rong Enqing also smiled and held Yun Ye's hand tightly. "Okay, let's go home."

At this moment, Rong Enqing only felt that the air was filled with the smell of freedom.

When the grandfather and grandson returned home, a large number of imperial guards had already surrounded the Shun'an Marquis's mansion.

A group of guards were coming in and out carrying boxes of gold.

Looking at the two people struggling to lift the box, Rong Enqing felt deeply moved.

Where did Yun Yi get so much gold in the first place?

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country.

Rong Enqing just took another look and then took Yun Ye into the mansion.

As soon as the two returned, the imperial edict from Emperor Taihe arrived.

It was Liu Xin who came personally to convey the order.

The Shun'an Marquis Mansion is under inspection and you are given the deadline to move out.

Rong Enqing, Zhang, Yun Ye, Yun Luo, Yun Ying, Yun Ai and others were pardoned and given three days to leave Beijing.

The rest of the people are no longer under Rong Enqing's care.

"Eunuch Liu, where is my youngest daughter Yunshu? She is in the mansion right now." Rong Enqing looked at Liu Xin anxiously.

The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is still surrounded and no one knows what will happen next.

But the Shunan Marquis's house had already made its decision, and all the masters had luckily escaped.

If Yun Shu had returned to the master of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, she should have been pardoned as well.

Liu Xin looked embarrassed. "Logically speaking, the fifth young lady is the young lady's wife of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, so she should be returned to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."

"Father-in-law..."

Rong Enqing was about to speak when he heard Liu Xin say with a smile: "However, the emperor also said that as long as the madam asks, the fifth lady will be allowed to leave with the madam."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Rong Enqing was delighted.
