Chapter 374: Who is the one who brought disaster to the country?
That dragon chair, as long as there is no accident, will definitely be Xiao Ji's in the future.
Because of the turmoil caused by the previous rumors, the princes and their mothers and concubines were beaten hard by Emperor Longqing, and now the situation is very good, with Empress Yang's scheming, she will definitely not be unable to hold her breath and make such a self-destruction of the Great Wall.
So what is the reason why Empress Yang will provoke Emperor Longqing so much that she no longer cares about the relationship between husband and wife for many years?
Xiao Ji shook his head, his young face was full of worry and helplessness, and said in a deep voice: "Kunning Palace, inside and out, has been guarded like an iron bucket by my father, and without my father's edict, even I can't take a step."
"What's more, the queen mother doesn't seem to have any intention of publicizing the reason, so she directly cut off the contact with me in the past......"
What kind of great event does it require Empress Yang to be so careful and careful not to involve anyone else?
The people in the room frowned when they heard this, puzzled.
Yang Lin was still calm, and after a moment, he spoke: "Since there is no communication between inside and outside the Kunning Palace, let's start from outside the palace." Look at the queen mother being grounded, who is the most happy, and think of opening a breakthrough from there to find out the reason. ”
That's all there is to it for now.
This year, no one is having a good time.
Sure enough, within three days, it was found out that the mother family of the prince took advantage of the good opportunity to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, and went in and out of the Fenyang palace many times.
After Xiao Ji learned the news, he sneered: "It's really a lot of courage to communicate with the King of Fenyang at this time!"
It's a pity that with his current status, I'm afraid that no matter what he says, Emperor Longqing will hesitate and doubt three points first.
Xiao Ji had no choice but to go to see Concubine Hui, hoping to persuade Concubine Hui to help him open this mouth.
Since Concubine Hui took charge of the internal affairs of the Sixth Palace, she has never taken the opportunity to treat Empress Yang harshly, Xiao Ji knows that Concubine Hui is a person with a pure heart.
However, Concubine Hui has always pursued the principle of keeping a low profile and protecting herself in the palace, so naturally she would not agree to help Xiao Ji open this mouth at this moment.
secretly passed the news back to the Lin family, so that everyone could take precautions as soon as possible.
The Lin family has been noble for generations, with more than enough reputation and insufficient real power, if there is really a major change, it is natural to take precautions as soon as possible.
The head of the Lin family naturally passed the news to the other principals of the family, so that everyone could prepare early, including the Lishan monks who have reintegrated into the family in the past two years.
After hearing the news, the Lishan monk sighed abruptly: "The decline of the national fortune is the loss of virtue of the Son of Heaven, and he still does not understand, sad, sighing!"
Then the news was passed on to Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji has been staring at the King of Fenyang to death, and naturally knows that the Fenyang Palace's Mansion has been in full swing recently.
However, the plans of Xiao Ji and the Yang family are not clear.
Now that he knows that Xiao Ji and the Yang family intend to take this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, they naturally do not hesitate to help them at this time, which can be regarded as repaying Queen Yang's love for incense in the past few years.
So, on the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, in the bright lantern market, some people were on the road, angrily accusing Emperor Longqing, who was high-spirited and happy with the people, for unscrupulous means to seize the throne, and even hinted that the death of the first emperor was also related to Emperor Longqing, and the edict passed on to Emperor Longqing was also forged.
Emperor Longqing was angry and waved his hand to let people take down the bold fanatics.
Since that man dared to reprimand Emperor Longqing in public, he was determined to die, and before the guards caught him, he took the lead in swinging a knife and committing suicide with death.
However, it was quickly found out afterwards that this person was a member of the concubine's mother clan who had been in and out of the Fenyang Palace's mansion recently.
Emperor Longqing was furious, believing that this was the collusion between the king of Fenyang and the concubine's mother, and officially declared war on him.
At that time, all the courtiers who were about to enter and leave the Fenyang Palace's palace were all reprimanded, degraded, and even killed.
This move naturally aroused strong resistance from the relevant courtiers, and seeing that the admonition was ineffective, they could only join forces with the king of Fenyang and urge the king of Fenyang to rise up, in order to protect their family.
King Fenyang didn't expect that so long had passed, and there was still an insider alive, and he happened to come out at this time to reveal the truth about Emperor Longqing's succession to the throne.
This is clearly a frame-up, that person knows that he is powerless to compete with Emperor Longqing alone, so he took advantage of his current contradiction with Emperor Longqing and asked him to be this pawn.
It happened suddenly, he was in a hurry, and this was not a good time to do anything at all.
However, Emperor Longqing obviously blamed him for the actions of the person who admonished Mingzhi with death on the night of the Lantern Festival, and he was unwilling to lose these people who intended to take refuge in him at such a critical time.
However, before that, in order to make the victory more certain, he decided to expose the fact that Emperor Longqing himself colluded with Xiliang in private, but in turn framed Xiao Gang, the king of Jin, to protect the throne, so that Emperor Longqing completely lost the support of his subjects, and also made his actions become forced, and he became famous and paved the way for the future.
At the same time, in private, the king of Fenyang sped up and broke them one by one, in a vain attempt to encroach on Emperor Longqing's secret dependence.
All of this is thanks to Pan Yuer's timely delivery of news.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
On this auspicious day, the king of Fenyang put up sacrifices on the street, sacrificed to Xiao Gang, the king of Jin, and his wife and children, and repented in public for the foolish things he did because he was afraid of the holy order.
And now he finally woke up, no longer afraid of life and death, and vowed to seek justice for the souls of the dead underground, telling the subjects of the world who is the real disaster for the country, and only seeking peace of mind for the rest of his life.
For a time, the capital was shaken, and the whole country was uneasy.
After Emperor Longqing got the report, he was so angry that he smashed the entire imperial study into a mess.
"Blood spews people, I want to see what evidence he has!" Emperor Longqing said hatefully, "Summoning the Gyeonggi Guard, it will be said that the King of Fenyang has bad intentions, slandered the Holy Monarch, and waited for an opportunity to shake the hearts of my people, and his heart can be punished!
It's just a little king with a different surname, even if he has some ability, how can he turn it out of the palm of his hand?
As for history, it was written by the victors, and if the king of Fenyang wants to ascend to the sky in one step, it also depends on whether he has this life to enjoy!
Since the King of Fenyang dared to sacrifice in public, how could he not be prepared for Emperor Longqing's revenge when he was angry, frightened and worried?
Before the arrival of Gyeonggi Wei, he took the first step to send his own people to besiege the palace, and made public the letters exchanged between the court of Emperor Longqing and the court of Xiliang.
Unexpectedly, civil strife broke out, and the entire capital was suddenly in chaos.
The gate of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was closed, and except for the guards who were patrolling the courtyard, everyone gathered in the Summer Palace, looking awe-inspiring and panicked.
