458 Aftermath
The matter of the eldest prince forcing the palace to rebel was settled at the fastest speed, however, in this rebellion case, which lasted only half a day, the impact and losses caused were undoubtedly impossible for the ten princes to catch up with when they forced the palace.
The palace concubines and beauties were assassinated in the rebellion, twelve princesses under the knee of Emperor Hongyuan died in the rebellion, another eight little princes died, and many other noblewomen were killed or injured, or were frightened to the point of insanity; When resisting the rebels, the Imperial Forest Army suffered heavy casualties, almost a quarter of the sergeants were seriously injured and bad, and there was constant turmoil outside the palace, and the ancestors and grandchildren of the noble mansion had more or less casualties.
The whole Great Wei Kyoto fell into the white world, obviously it was the day of June, it was the season when the plants were luxuriant and the flowers were fragrant, but at this time many noble mansions in Kyoto were hung with white flags, and began to prepare for the funeral in the house, and the prosperous capital also fell into a dead and silent white ocean.
Emperor Hongyuan in the palace heard the tragic death of Concubine Yi, and heard that he was angry and pouted alive, and Emperor Hongyuan seemed to be very angry this time, and he was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up.
Although there is a prince in the court, but at this time Emperor Hongyuan is still the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the subjects of the Great Wei, Emperor Hongyuan fell unconscious after the chaos, which really made the courtiers worried, rumors outside the palace, and the people were in turmoil, so I was afraid that Emperor Hongyuan would be careless, and he would fall into the country with political turmoil in the midst of fire and water.
Fortunately, although Emperor Hongyuan was greatly injured, he woke up on the third day.
However, at this time, Emperor Hongyuan seemed to be ten years old out of thin air, although his eyes were still as sharp and intimidating as before, the fatigue and tiredness revealed in his sideburns and demeanor were difficult to hide, not only that, but the deep nasolabial folds on his face and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were also revealed, and rickets appeared on his back, which was a sign that an emperor was approaching the end of his life.
The aging of Emperor Hongyuan's body made the pupils of the courtiers shrink, and both fists were clenched.
However, at this time, it is just useless to try to hide anything, not to mention that he is now old, just to say that his current detailed physical condition, I am afraid that these courtiers have obtained detailed information and have a spectrum in their hearts, which is no longer a secret to them.
Emperor Hongyuan was furious in his heart, but he could only suppress it, there were blood stains oozing from the corners of his mouth, thinking of the fifteenth princess who was given death, thinking that Concubine Yi had no will to live after hearing the news, and actually hit the rebels' bayonets when the rebels attacked the Qingyi Palace, thinking of the miserable death of the eight sons under his knees, the old mother could not be quiet after her death, and the many noble families who had lost their children and grandchildren still needed to be appeased, and the soldiers needed to be rewarded,......
Things are one after another, one after another, and that one needs to be dealt with seriously, so as not to leave endless troubles, but he is now in decline, and he can't even get up.
The regulations in the palace have been promulgated one after another, and the advertising people have advanced the date of the queen mother's burial, and will be sent to the imperial mausoleum ten days later to be buried with the emperor; Later, the soldiers who made outstanding contributions in the pacification of the rebellion were rewarded and named their wives and sons; In the end, according to the emperor's order, Concubine Lan in the palace selected many tributes to be given to the noble family with heavy casualties, or gave other favors to appease.
The upper-class social circle in Beijing fell into a complete hectic situation, the funeral of the queen mother was advanced, so that the people below were busy, and the wake still needs to be continued, but at this time, the total number of noblewomen and kings and grandchildren who appeared in the Cining Palace was far less than more than one-third of the people who came the day after the queen mother's funeral.
Chi Linglong copied the Buddhist scriptures neatly one stroke at a time, and turned a blind eye to the seemingly nonexistent glances of the surrounding ladies.
She understood the message in the eyes of these people, nothing more than why she suddenly disappeared when the rebels invaded, and when the rebel leader mentioned that she wanted to exchange her for the safety of the rest of the noble ladies, the noble ladies were all moved and wanted to hand her over, but no one could find her.
Afterwards, she appeared in front of people safe and sound, and then she was a noble lady who came back to her senses, and she couldn't help resenting her because of her dead elders and close friends.
Chi Linglong felt the minds of these people thoroughly, and she couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, but she couldn't help but be sarcastic.
These noble ladies were just thinking that if she had stayed in front of the Queen Mother's spirit at that time and did not disappear, then as long as she was handed over, all of them would be safe.
Their elder girlfriends will not die, they don't have to be afraid, they won't be sleepless because of nightmares at night, but it's a pity that her life is too big, and her blessing is too good, she happened to "go to the clean room" before the rebels attacked, and then hid when she heard the sound, and escaped by luck.
Chi Linglong's mind was racing, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart at the eyes that everyone couldn't hide their resentment, although she didn't mind that these people regarded her as an enemy or secretly excluded her, but she didn't want to be shot into a sieve.
After guarding the spirit for a day, after leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Chi Linglong was hesitating between the two ideas of going back to the Qin Palace, or going to the Zhongyong Mansion first.
The old lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was scared to death by the rebels who invaded the mansion, which was more than three years earlier than the day of the old lady's death in the memory of "Chi Linglong", and it was not in Chi Linglong's expectation at all.
can carefully compare the time when the tenth prince and the eldest prince forced the palace to make trouble in my memory, and it is indeed several years earlier than the previous life.
It seems that since she was reborn, many things have gone out of the way as planned, and Chi Linglong can only smile helplessly at this time, it's not her fault, right?
I want to go to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to see how the old lady's funeral is prepared, and then I remembered that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is the same as the mansion of the nobles, and now they have not gone out to mourn, and after the funeral of the Queen Mother, the noble family dares to give a big fanfare to the ancestors and housewives in the house to do funerals, and they are now married daughters, and the relationship with their mother's family is not good, and the old lady is even more estranged, and even has a grudge, in this situation, what are you doing? It's purely fed.
A few thoughts turned in his heart one after another, and instead, Chi Linglong also instructed the coachman to rush back to the Qin Palace.
In the palace of the king of Qin, Sun Wuji, Sun Liuli and her four children left the palace early and avoided other courtyards when the eldest prince rebelled, but there was no damage.
Several people are very safe, and there is no shortage of nurses and maids around them with a few children, which is a great thing.
On the bad side, because there were too many rebels attacking the Qin Palace, during the fight with the soldiers in the Qin Palace, it was inevitable that many things in the palace would be destroyed.
The rebels who were ordered to come to the Qin Palace's Mansion to arrest people generally did not expect that the soldiers of the Qin Palace's Mansion would be so brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers and secret guards guarding the Qin Palace's Mansion were twice as many as expected.
June is as hot as a big steamer, even if it is not burned by fire, some firewood will still be spontaneously combusted, this time there is firepower to join, and it coincides with the wind on the same day, the tongue of fire quickly rises, but it burns several courtyards of the Qin Palace.
The loss of many belongings in the palace of the Qin king, and the need to repair the houses, to the chagrin of the soldiers who were ordered to guard the courtyard, but the good thing is that those are uninhabited courtyards, but there are no casualties; And because the soldiers put out the fire in time, it did not cause a catastrophe.
However, with this battle, the smell of smoke in the palace of King Qin has not dispersed, and the courtyard where he simply walked the water is a little far away from Zhiyuanzhai and Yulan Hall, which will not affect the daily life of the masters, otherwise, I am afraid that Qin Chenghei will decide not to live in the palace for the time being in order for the children not to choke on the throat of the fireworks.
Chi Linglong entered the palace and hurriedly went to Zhiyuanzhai, and some distance from the main hall, he faintly heard the sound of the little spoon coaxing his younger brothers and sisters to eat well.
A few little guys were not frightened by the chaos in Beijing in the past few days, and the little ones didn't understand anything, even if they were transferred out by their aunts and uncles, they only played in a different place, and they didn't care too much; The big one was also because he was excited to go out of the house, but he didn't ask too much about why he didn't let his parents go out with him, but his uncle and aunt only took them out to play.
However, the things that could be concealed before the rebellion were not able to be done after the chaos, the little spoon had a very sensitive sense of smell, and when he returned to the Qin Palace, he smelled a peculiar smell, and he also chased the smell to find the courtyard that was burned black, and then, he was also told everything by his uncle.
The little guy didn't make a sound for a long time when he heard the words, but then the whole person seemed to have really grown up, and he was not unreasonable, and he also guarded his younger siblings at all times, and even stayed in the West Wing at night, and he said that he wanted to take care of the three little ones instead of his parents.
Chi Linglong quickly stepped into the west wing, the little spoon saw her mother, her big eyes lit up, she wanted to pounce on it, remembering her ambition to grow up quickly to protect her parents and younger siblings, and she also paused in place, her eyes were expectant, and she respectfully saluted her mother.
When Chi Linglong saw such a well-behaved son, how could there be any reason not to love, especially after the chaos of life and death a few days ago, she understood the value of family affection, and she also valued a few children and her cousins and cousins around her.
Squatted down to hug the little guy who had grown to the height of her thighs, and kissed the little thing's white and tender face several times, before Chi Linglong took her son's hand to see the triplets.
Cousin Sun Liuli came from the clean room, and when she saw her back, she breathed a sigh of relief, greeted her, and asked her to stay and take care of the child, and then hurried back to Yulan Hall.
The eldest brother has relapsed in the past few days, coughing up blood every day, if she didn't have to take care of the three little ones, she would not be willing to leave the eldest brother at all.
It's a pity that the eldest brother doesn't want the three little guys to leave him, so as not to get sick, and he is worried that the little cousin will know that he will panic and worry about him again in his busy schedule, so she can neither take the little ones to Yulan Hall to take care of them, but can only still leave them in Zhiyuanzhai and come to take care of them herself, and she can't inform her cousin of the eldest brother's illness.
Chi Linglong also saw that her cousin's face was tired, and she thought that it was three little things that made her tired, so before leaving, she had to let Qianjiao take away some of the blood bird's nests that Qin Chengsi specially found for her, and boiled porridge for her cousin, so as to replenish her body.
Sun Liuli left in a hurry, and at this time it was completely dark, and Biyue led a few girls to start dinner.
The little spoon trotted out into the corridor, looked out for a while, and found that his father was still nowhere to be seen, so he returned to the flower hall in despair, and asked his mother with a palm-sized little face, "Mother, isn't Daddy coming back today?" "He hadn't seen his father for four days, and he was thinking about it.
Chi Linglong nodded, touched her son's little tender face, and then explained to him with a smile, "Didn't my uncle sue SΓΉ Shao'er, there was turmoil in the palace?" Although the rebels are now ambushed, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, and the Queen Mother has not yet been buried. The palace is busy, and your father won't be able to come back today. When the little spoon heard this, a look of disappointment on his face that could not be concealed.
The look on her son's face made Chi Linglong feel distressed, but there was no way to compensate for it; It's an eventful time now, although she also wants Qin Chengsi to go home every day, but it's simply impossible.
After kissing her son's little face, Chi Linglong leaned down and asked her son gently, "Shao'er misses her father?" β
Little Spoon nodded firmly, "Hmm." β
Chi Linglong touched her son's black hair, sighed in her heart, but said with a soft smile on her face, "Then wait for two more days, and in two days Daddy will be able to go home." β
Chi Linglong's words for two days did not work, because Qin Chenghei did not return to the Qin Palace's mansion until five days later, and at this time, the security in Kyoto was restored as usual, except for the white flags hanging in front of the doors of the noble families, and the atmosphere in Kyoto was also much more lonely, and the rest was not much different from before the rebellion of the great prince.
When my father came back, Little Spoon was very happy, and I made a lot of intimacy with my father, and took my father's hand and said a lot of things; Those words didn't understand the little spoon before, but now he understands a lot.
Five days later, just as Emperor Hongyuan said, the Queen Mother was finally buried.
On the day when the coffin covered in black and gold was carried out of the palace, the civil and military officials of Kyoto and many noble women all went out of the city to see off ten miles before returning to Kyoto, and the coffin of the queen mother was really buried with the emperor.
Finally sent the funeral of the Queen Mother, and the atmosphere in the whole Kyoto was obviously relaxed, but it became more and more sad and desolate, because just after the Queen Mother was buried, the dead lady or old lady in Kyoto, or the mansion of the head of the family and the eldest son, began to mourn outside.
That night, in the eastern part of the city, where the dignitaries and relatives of the emperor lived, there was a howl that shook the sky, and the sound was piercing, and the cry was hoarse, and it spread far and wide in the dark night, so that the people of the whole Kyoto could not sleep for a night.
