Chapter 104: Disposition
Since seeing King Shun bring a large group of people into the palace, everyone in the major mansions of Chang'an City is in danger, and they are afraid of being affected by closing the doors.
Soon the army outside the city of Chang'an, the prince with a team of black guards into the palace, Chang'an City is even more panicked. The most panicked are the Shun Palace, the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Enguo Mansion. Originally, they were still a little lucky, but after seeing the prince besieging the city with a large army, their hearts were flustered.
Sure enough, an hour later, thousands of Praetorian Guards rode into three teams and rushed to the three most honorable mansions in Chang'an City.
After a team of people read the holy decree to Princess Shun, they surrounded the palace of King Shun. Princess Shun hugged the child and asked, "Where is King Shun?"
The leader of the Praetorian Guard who led the team said coldly: "I was killed by random arrows." ”
The women of the Shun Palace's house howled and cried when they heard this, and Princess Shun sat on the ground with her head in her arms and the child. Looking at the women who fell from the clouds into the mud pool, the Praetorian Guards had no sympathy. While enjoying the glory and wealth, you also have to take the great risks that it brings.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard waved his hand: "Your Majesty has an order to take away the women of the Huang family and send them to the Sect Division." ”
The women who were crying just now immediately closed their mouths, and they all saw the usually invincible Concubine Huang, only to see that Huang couldn't cry anymore and collapsed on the ground like mud.
Two Praetorian Guards stepped forward and dragged her out of the Shun Palace, towards the Jiaofang Division.
Fang Lin led a group of Praetorian Guards to the Enguo Mansion. Fang Lin divided the Praetorian Guards into four groups, one group guarded the gate to prevent anyone from escaping, one group was responsible for confiscating the property of the Huang Mansion, one group tied up the men in the mansion and sent them to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded immediately, and one group escorted all the women of the Huang Mansion to the Jiaofang Division.
The Yellow Mansion was like the sky was falling, the men in the mansion were at a loss, the women in the mansion were crying, and the people in the mansion were running around.
A Praetorian Guard pointed to the old lady Ren who was lying on the ground with a crooked mouth and tears: "This half-dead old woman, is she still sent to the Teaching Workshop Division?"
Fang Lin looked at Old Madam Ren coldly and said, "As long as there is still a breath left, let her go to the Teaching Workshop Division." It is the emperor's will to send all the women of the Huang family to the sect. ”
Hearing this, the two Praetorian Guards stepped forward and dragged Mrs. Ren out of the Yellow Mansion and sent her to the Jiaofang Division.
Hundreds of people watched this mansion, which was once glorious and wealthy, but now collapsed. They shook their heads one after another, secretly discussing: The lack of people's hearts has caused great trouble.
Among the onlookers who watched the Huang family being copied, there were concubines who were expelled from the Huang family by dressing up as village women. There is Chen Yu dressed as a man. There is also Wu Renhe, who became a beggar with a broken bowl. They secretly rejoiced in their hearts that although they were living a hard life now, they had no worries about their lives or were not in the teaching department.
Another group of Praetorian Guards entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and after reading the holy decree to everyone, they asked all the masters of the Wei family to set off immediately and exile to Bashu.
Hearing that the whole family was only sentenced to exile, the Wei family breathed a long sigh of relief. The commander of the Praetorian Guard, who participated in the whole process of quelling the chaos in the palace, said: "If it weren't for the crown princess asking Your Majesty for your Wei family, I'm afraid the Wei family would be like the Huang family now." ”
Mrs. Wei knelt on her son, she looked up and asked the commander of the Praetorian Guard, "How did the Huang family end?"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard said simply: "All the men are beheaded, all the women are in the sect, and the same is true for those who are married." ”
Hearing this, the whole body of the Wei family was cold, Mrs. Wei cut her hair, stood up from the ground, and said to her son: "Son, write down the great grace of the crown princess, the Wei family has to take care of her, I am afraid that it is because of the accumulation of virtue by the ancestors." ”
Her son bowed to his mother and said, "Son, remember what his mother said. Wei Qiudong matured instantly.
When the commander of the Praetorian Guard saw that there was a crown princess interceding for the Wei family, and there was a Wei concubine in the prince's mansion, he opened his net: "You simply pack up some things and set off immediately." The eldest princess is guilty of rebellion, and it is important for you to save your lives now. ”
Wei Changsheng, the son of the eldest princess, also deserved to pick up his life today, he was originally in the palace with his mother today. Last night, he went to the suburban courtyard to meet the two concubines, and he got up late for a long night. When he hurried back home, his mother had already brought someone into the palace, so he could only wait patiently at home.
Wei Changsheng saw that the general trend was gone, the whole family's life was important, and there were many things in the house that he couldn't take away, so he secretly divided the gold, silver and jade at home with the Praetorian Guards, buying more time for the family to leave.
Wei Changsheng and the Wei family also had a few concubines, and they packed all the silver tickets, gold and silver that they could take away in their close-fitting clothes. At the urging of the Praetorian Guards, they walked out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion step by step.
Not many people came to watch the excitement in the eldest princess's mansion, some people in Chang'an City ran to see the Huang family man beheaded, and some went to see the Huang family woman being dragged to the Teaching Workshop Division.
When the Wei family was escorted to the gate of Chang'an City, Concubine Wei, who heard the letter, cried and caught up. She was dressed in plain clothes, with only a silver hairpin tied with her hair tied on her head, and knelt in front of Master Wei and his wife: "Father, mother, aunt, brother and sister, I want to go with you and take care of it together." ”
Mrs. Wei helped up the side concubine: "Good boy, since you are not implicated, you can live a good life in the prince's mansion." ”
Concubine Fang insisted on going along: "Father and mother are guilty, how dare daughters enjoy happiness alone." Let your daughter go with you and serve you. ”
Mrs. Wei touched the side concubine's hair: "When the family is good, you don't enjoy the blessings, when you are guilty, why bother to bring you tired." She continued: "Good boy, serve the crown princess well for our Wei family, if it weren't for her, our Wei Mansion would end up with the Huang family." ”
"I, I ......"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard walked in front of the concubine and whispered to her: "The concubine can take better care of them by staying in the capital and staying by the side of the crown princess." ”
The Wei family nodded one after another, and they all stepped forward to persuade the concubine to stay in the capital, and in the end, the young master of the Wei family said to the concubine: "Sister, you stay with the crown prince and the princess, we are exiled, and others will not embarrass our whole family if they see your face." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Wei nodded in agreement: "Father, mother, and daughter listen to you, serve the princess well, and repay her." ”
The Wei family supported one by one and walked forward slowly, Shu was far away, they didn't know when they would go, and whether they could arrive safely. Concubine Wei stood at the gate of Chang'an and cried so much, her nurse persuaded while crying: "Concubine Side, let's go back, if you are sick, how will you take care of them in the future?"
Concubine Wei turned around step by step and slowly walked towards Chang'an City. Her nurse persuaded her along the way: "Concubine Fang, you see that the Huang family is ruined today, the men are beheaded, and the women are in the church." Even the old woman Ren was put into the workshop. This is the best result for the Wei family......"
Concubine Wei nodded: "I know, but I feel sad in my heart, my parents, brothers and sisters will suffer a lot if they are exiled." ”
"But at least they don't have to worry about their lives, and they have the opportunity to return to Beijing in the future." ”
"I want to repay the crown princess well......"
The queen in the palace was locked up in the cold palace, she was shocked, angry and afraid, and kept vomiting blood in her mouth. After noon, Da Linzi came with a glass of poisonous wine, and he looked at the Huang family coldly: "All the men of the Huang family have been beheaded, and all the women have entered the Teaching Division." Your Majesty said that you liked to poison people in the past, and even Your Majesty dared to poison people, so Your Majesty gave you a cup of poisoned wine to let you slowly enjoy the taste of poisoning. ”
Huang said in horror: "No, this palace is the queen, it is the queen......"
"The emperor has decreed that you will be taken away from the throne and demoted you to a commoner. ”
Xiao Linzi waved at the eunuch, and the two little eunuchs stepped forward to forcibly stabilize Huang, poured poison into her mouth, and then threw her on the ground.
Xiao Linzi stared at the Huang family, who was vomiting blood, and said to the two eunuchs: "When she is dead, ask someone to pull her out and throw her into the rocky hill." ”
Huang screamed bitterly: "This palace is the queen, and she will enter the imperial mausoleum after death......"
