Capital.
The news of the Snowfield Living Buddha being suppressed by Xu Qing had already spread everywhere.
The key is, after Xu Qing's army crossed the Yellow River, they didn't rush to the Capital but advanced slowly by splitting into different forces. The first thing each army did upon taking over a city was to deal with the top three ranked nobles of the locale.
It's like loosening the soil before cultivation.
Xu Qing's intention was clear, which was to plow through the Northern lands again.
As for the charges, they were already prepared.
And those charges were rebellion!
Actually, many nobles in the Northern State Prefecture hadn't rebelled; most were neutral.
Regarding this matter, many Court officials pleaded, hoping Xu Qing could carefully discern who were the true rebels.
Xu Qing did not accept such suggestions.
He chose to act autocratically.
This didn't quite align with Xu Qing's usual style of doing things.
