Chapter 1009: Love
This palace banquet was only mentioned lightly in the records of the history books.
In the fifteenth year of Dayan, Yang Taishi rebelled with his son, and the emperor punished him at the palace banquet.
And what happened in reality is far more tragic than what happened in the history books.
The day after Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor decreed that all ministers who had had close contacts with the Yang family in the past were raided and imprisoned.
This matter has implicated many people, many ministers have been imprisoned for this, and even ministers who have nothing to do with the Yang family are very worried about whether they will be sent by the emperor.
And the fact that Lu Cancan is still alive seems to be nothing compared to the rebellion of the Yang family, and no one mentioned it for a while.
Everyone in the world knows that the Yang family has self-respect, and the crime of rebellion is unforgivable, and they all say that the recent anomaly in the sky is because the Yang family's sins are too heavy, and the heavens have sent a decree to clear the king's side, and the emperor's move is in accordance with the will of heaven.
And the snow that started from the palace banquet fell for three days and three nights, as if it was going to cover the entire Dayan.
In the past three days, I don't know how many people have died.
Lu Cancan stood in the snow, she didn't move, and soon the snow formed a small snow pit around her body.
The snow hasn't stopped.
"Cancan, go back."
Jiang Li walked over and looked at Lu Cancan's face that was a little blue from the cold, and he was very distressed.
"Is Lin Yi back?"
Lu Cancan didn't care about her situation, she was just worried about Lin Yi.
Now every day when Lin Yi goes out, she feels scared, she is always worried about when Lin Yi will come back and whether she can come back.
With so many people dying at the palace banquet, she couldn't help but wonder if one day Lin Yi would be killed by the emperor like those people.
"Yi'er has been too busy these days, you have to take good care of yourself."
Jiang Li knew what Lu Cancan was thinking, but the tiger poison did not eat children, Lin Yi was the emperor's own nephew, and there would be no big deal in the future, and the Yang family rebelled, the Lu family and the Lin family were both heroes, and the emperor also said that he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
Reward? Lu Cancan doesn't want a reward, she just wants Lin Yi to be safe.
The longer she stays in the court, the more Lu Cancan hates this kind of life, she doesn't want to be involved in power struggles, but she often can't help herself.
"Has the will of the Yang family come down?"
Although the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the officials who had dealings with the Yang family, it was not clear what to do with the queen and the rest of the Yang family.
"I heard that Yang Qiong is now locked up in a prison, and as for the queen, she is only temporarily grounded."
And Ye Qing was the same, he was locked up in the palace, but the specific situation Jiang Li did not know, the emperor made an order, Ye Qing was not allowed to be visited by anyone.
"That's right."
Yang Taishi killed Yang Yan with his own hands, in order to at least let the queen and Yang Qiong live after the defeat, but seeing that the emperor mercilessly killed all the people involved in the rebellion, even their families, I think Yang Taishi's wish will be disappointed.
Lu Cancan didn't know what he was doing in Dayan.
It's obviously New Year, but people die every day in the capital.
But the common people didn't care, because after three days of heavy snowfall, the sky cleared, and the abnormal celestial phenomenon ended, and everyone was happy.
As for those dead officials, their lives have nothing to do with them as ordinary people, and when they die, they don't care, they just cover their eyes and run away when they see the hanging head at the entrance of the vegetable market, which is a little scary.
"The emperor has an order, Lu Cancan is a meritorious minister, after the emperor's clear inspection, the killing of Mo Wan, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, has nothing to do with it, first pardon to restore her status as the county lord, and a reward of 1,000 taels and 200 pieces of silk."
The little eunuch handed the bright yellow holy decree to Lu Cancan, but Lu Cancan felt that the holy decree had become a bloodstained dragon robe in a trance, and he didn't stretch out his hand to take it for a while.
"It seems that Cancan is too happy, so I'll take the order on her behalf."
Jiang Li quietly took the holy decree on the side, and by the way, he helped Lu Cancan up from the ground, and the little eunuch accompanied him to congratulate Lu Cancan with a smile: "The county lord will have a blessing if he doesn't die, and the emperor values you very much." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Jiang Li instructed the housekeeper to take the little eunuch down to receive the reward.
Lu Cancan just felt ridiculous holding the holy decree, he was a person who should have died, and now he was alive again, what a strange thing, but as long as the emperor's holy decree came down, all the wine could be wiped out.
No one will raise any objections to his resurrection, and no one will care why he has been wronged, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the emperor.
Say you're not worried about ending up like the Yang family?
The Yang family, the county lord, what can he do if he is the county lord?
Jiang Li knew that Lu Cancan felt uncomfortable, but the emperor was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven would not be wrong, all they could do as courtiers was to obey, even if they were the emperor's sister.
Everyone in the palace is in danger, because in addition to the emperor's rectification, the palace must also be rectified.
Li Yuesheng stood there with a whisk in his hand, watching those palace maids and little eunuchs being dragged out by the forbidden army, and all the palace people's rooms had to be strictly searched, and anyone who was found to be the slightest suspicious would be immediately executed.
Naturally, there will be a way to deal with the dead in the palace, and the gods don't know it, anyway, after these people die, someone else will immediately take their place.
Dead people are never unusual, no matter who they are.
"It's all neat, don't make a noise to the emperor."
Li Yuesheng looked at the palace maid who was crying impatiently, and a little eunuch immediately took two hemp cores and stuffed them into her mouth, and her crying voice became a whimper.
"You all have to keep your eyes open, this is the end of betraying the emperor, remember!"
When these people were executed, Li Yuesheng would ask the palace maids and eunuchs to come over and watch, so that they could know whose world Dayan was in and whose palace it was.
The queen was grounded in Fengzao Palace, but there was no shortage of food and clothing, but no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Fengzao Palace is lifeless, like a cold palace.
After the first lunar month, everything seemed to be quiet, and the capital returned to its former state.
During the Lantern Festival, there were already children playing with lanterns on the street, shops were opened, and prices returned to normal.
The red lanterns hung up, and the smell wafted from the dim sum shop, as if nothing terrible had happened.
