Chapter 839: A Poisonous Man
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He did not expect that there would still be a surviving member of the Huo bloodline.
Back then, when General Huo and his only son went to the battlefield, both of them died on the battlefield. They had never heard that General Huffs son had a child, so they thought that the Huo family had no more descendants. Every time they mentioned this general, they felt that it was a pity that no one had continued the family line.
“From today onwards,” Emperor Hao continued, “Huo Wenqing will be conferred the t.i.tle of Marquis of Loyalty and the West General. He will still be in charge of the western army.”
“Long live my emperor!” Ji Xiehui, who had already arrived in the main hall and was dressed in armor… No, it was Huo Wenqing. He immediately cupped his fists and knelt down to thank him.
Emperor Hao started to reward other people who helped in the downfall.
Emperor Hao also approved Huo Wenqing and Shao Shutings requests for rewards for some soldiers. Those who had rendered meritorious service would naturally be rewarded.
Because Xue Sanfu had made great contributions, he was rewarded with 1000 silver pieces and promoted to captain according to the military system.
The officials who colluded with the Ji family were either killed or captured. Naturally, there were vacancies. Emperor Hao had long drawn up a list and promoted many people; some were even quite young.
Among them was this year’s top scholar, Pei Dongyu, who was originally a small official in the academy.
Pei Dongyu was arranged to enter the Ministry of Revenue and was directly promoted to a third-grade a.s.sistant minister.
Although Pei Dongyu was young and hadn’t been an official for long, he had the strength of having a strong character and steady principles. If he couldn’t do something, he would never do it. He would rather die than do it. This was something that Emperor Hao valued very much. The Prime Minister, Imperial Censor, and the others didn’t object because of this.
“Minister of the Supreme Court.” Emperor Hao suddenly shouted.
“Your subject is here.” The Minister of Justice stepped forward.
“I’ll leave the evidence arrangement to you.” Emperor Hao said as he looked at the mountain of evidence in the middle of the hall.
In other words, according to the laws of Da Ling, the Ji family would be punished in any way they wanted, and they would not be tolerated.
“Yes, sir!” The official of the Supreme Court immediately accepted the order.
Once the Supreme Court took over, it was easier to deal with the aftermath.
The two who were still alive, Marquis Ji and Ji Qiwei, were executed by a thousand cuts. The other guilty ones were also quickly convicted according to the law.
Prince Yi, on the other hand, had been secretly sent to a place not far from the capital city to be raised by a kind-hearted middle-aged couple who had no children.
This place had mountains and rivers, and it was very quiet. Prince Yi’s body was weak, so it was actually a good idea to stay here.
The middle-aged couple also treated Prince Yi very well. Originally, Emperor Hao had given them a lot of money to raise Prince Yi, but they were not willing to use a single cent. They either used it on Prince Yi or wanted to keep it for Prince Yi when he grew up.
However, Prince Yi was the emperor in his previous life. How could he be willing to stay in a tiny house in the countryside for the rest of his life.
Originally, it was fine to hide here for a while. However, he accidentally discovered that someone was watching him.
It wasn’t that his men of sacrifice outside the palace had come to find him. Otherwise, they would definitely have approached him.
He was already here. Who else would know that he was here? Who would keep an eye on him? Without thinking, he knew that it was Emperor Hao and the current Empress Dowager’s doing.
Being observed made it much harder to do anything.
He had to leave.
Therefore, when his men of sacrifice found him, he immediately ordered them to kill the two people who were keeping an eye on him. He also killed the middle-aged couple who were good to him.
A man without poison is not a man..
