Chapter 1353: The Chinese Riot
"No~~" Gongzi was confused, and quickly shook his head and shouted: "No-this is all your imagination, this is not true, my father will not do this." β
"Won't?" The crown prince smiled coldly, and then pointed to the north and said: "There is nothing impossible in this world, you know, not far from the north, Song Wangzhen has not been blind until now." β
"Song Wangzhen!" Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Song Wangyan? β
"Not bad." The prince said hatefully: "It's Song Wangyan, our father is Song Wangyan's second, although he is old, his desire for power is never old."
Moreover, our father is more powerful than Song Wangyan, Song Wangyan killed Song Wangzhen, but he was saddled with all the infamy, and what about our father?
Not only is he going to kill me, but he's going to take all the charges on my back.
It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, but our father is much more poisonous than tigers. β
"Thisβthisβ" Childe's mind was completely confused.
At this time, the crown prince Heng saw that Gongzi Yu's eyes had lost their brightness, and he calmed down slightly, and then asked: "If I am killed by my father in the near future, then Zi Yu, you will ask my father for me in this hall, and ask him, under Jiuquan, does he have the face to see me, and does he have the face to meet our queen mother." β
After that, the prince didn't wait for Gongzi Yan to react, so he shouted: "Come on, escort Gongzi Yan back to his mansion and prohibit him from leaving the mansion again." β
As soon as the prince's voice fell, Gongziping outside the hall immediately led people in and took away the depressed Gongzi.
Not long after Gongzi Yu was taken away, a soldier hurriedly ran in: "Report to the prince, just now the doorman in Xue Gongtian's mansion heard that Xue Meiren was killed, and there are rumors that the prince is angry that Xue Meiren is pregnant with the heir of the king, and he is angry and gives Xue Meiren to death, and also plans to execute Xue Gongmanmen."
As a result, the more than 1,000 guests left by Xue Gong in Shouchun Mansion planned to escort Xue Gong's family out of the city in fear.
As a result, Xue Gong's family was discovered by the patrol soldiers, and the later soldiers called a large army to encircle and suppress, and now Xue Gong's family has been killed and dispersed, and Xue Gong's family has been captured. β
When the prince heard this, he didn't care how Xue Gong's family knew that Xue Meiren had been killed, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any damage to Xue Gong's family?" β
"None." The soldier shook his head and said, "The state marquis has orders, and the army has never injured Xue Gong's family. β
"That's good." The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Pass the order, and settle the Xue family." β
"No."
Soon, the night passed, the sky brightened, and the sun rose in the east.
Just when the crown prince was about to summon the ministers, Gongziping came over with a heavy face and reported: "Father, it's not good, the people we sent to recruit the people in the city were strongly resisted by the people.
Now all the people of the city are angry with us.
And the state marquis, who presided over the defense of Shouchun, was also worried that after the people were compiled, it would lead to a collective rebellion among the people, so the state marquis did not know what to do now. β
The prince was stunned: "Why are the people angry at us, even if they rebel alone, they won't be so resentful." β
Gongziping hesitated for a moment and explained: "Last night, the army searched the city, and many soldiers took advantage of the chaos to loot property and commit violence against the women in the city. β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β The prince was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, there is no need to organize people to enlist in the army, block the whole city, and no one is allowed to wander the streets." β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β Childe Ping was stunned and responded, "Yes." β
As soon as Gongziping left, another soldier came to report: "Report, prince, last night Xue Gongmen scattered all around, and then those people spread rumors everywhere in the city, saying that the prince was going to kill Xue Gongmanmen, and also killed all the strategists and lobbyists in the city, and now all the people in the city are panicking, and many people are insulting the prince." β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β The prince rubbed his head, which felt a little swollen and aching, and ordered, "Convene the ministers to discuss the matter." β
Soon after, in the main hall, the crown prince sat on the throne, looked at the ministers in the palace, and saw that there were only the ministers in the palace who followed him last night, and none of the other ministers in Shouchun came.
Seeing this, the prince's heart sank.
After a pause, the prince said with a heavy face: "Now that the king's whereabouts are unknown, I don't know why Zhu Qing taught me?" β
When the ministers heard this, their faces were not good-looking.
After preparing for several months, everyone thought that this incident had been foolproof, but as a result, at the most critical time, the king of Chu actually ran away.
With the prestige of the King of Chu in the Chu State, all the ministers in the palace had a bad premonition in their hearts at this time.
Then, the ministers were silent for a while, and Yan Lingjun was the first to speak: "Prince, Shouchun is not the former capital of Chu State, but the king forcibly moved the capital. Therefore, the minister asked the prince to move the capital back to Shouying. β
As soon as Yan Lingjun spoke, the eyes of the feudal lords and nobles of Jiang and Han all lit up.
The feudal monarchs on the Jianghuai side had been reasoned with by the King of Chu before, and the aristocratic power was very weak, and the area around Shouchun City was almost all the henchmen of the King of Chu.
And the rest of the Jianghuai nobles, although the relationship with the prince has recently become harmonious, but in fact, no one knows how many of them are spies sent by the king of Chu.
In this case, if the capital is moved back to Yingdu, one can immediately jump out of the trap of the king of Chu, the second can get the full support of the Jiang and Han nobles, and the third is... Once things don't go well, they can still divide the east and west with the king of Chu and try to protect Jiang and Han.
Thinking of this, the nobles who were born in Jianghan responded one after another: "Prince, what Yan Lingjun said is extremely true. β
At this time, when the nobles on the Jianghuai side heard that the nobles of Jianghan were going to instigate the prince to move the capital back to Yingdu, they suddenly felt anxious, if they moved the capital back to Yingdu, then all the nobles on their Jianghuai side would soon be abandoned by the prince?
Thinking about it, the nobles on the Jianghuai side, in the absence of Bohai Jun Zhaolang, looked at Long Shujun, who had connected them with the crown prince, and asked him to take the lead in opposing the relocation of the capital.
But...
Long Shujun couldn't help but sigh in his heart after seeing the eyes of the Jianghuai nobles.
In fact, after he saw the King of Chu fleeing from the secret passage last night, he already knew that something was wrong.
It's just that not only did Prince Heng not give up, but he didn't give up when he agreed.
In the current situation, the best situation is that the army of the front-line nobles comes back first, and the army under the command of Zhaoju Qu Yuan directly collapsed in the Qi State, so they are still able to protect Jianghuai.
However, if the army in the hands of Zhaoju and Qu Yuan did not collapse, with Shouying's current situation that the people hated them to the bone, they would definitely not be able to hold Jianghuai.
It's just... Whether the crown prince can hold Jianghuai or not, what does it have to do with him, a lonely man, all he wants is to destroy the new law and fight the tyrant.
So, in the face of full certainty, with half the odds...
So, Long Shujun arched his hand and said: "Prince, at this time, you should immediately move the capital back to Yingdu." β
When Jianghuai Fengjun heard this, he immediately blew up.
After the court meeting, just when the crown prince Heng and the Jiang and Han nobles were preparing to move the capital back to Yingdu.
An undercurrent began to surge among the Jianghuai nobles and Shouying guards who had taken refuge in Prince Heng.
In the middle of the day, a large number of rumors began to circulate among the guards.
"The prince is ready to give up Shouying and flee to Yingdu."
"The king is out of trouble, and the counterinsurgency army is already on its way back!"
"The king's edict that all those who participated in the rebellion must be exterminated, and if we follow the prince to Yingdu, the family members who stay in Jianghuai will definitely be exterminated."
"The king's edict is that those who set things right are exempted from crime."
"The prince has an order, and he is unwilling to follow the soldiers who went to Yingdu to exterminate the clan."
"The prince has an order..."
A large number of rumors spread in the army, and all the soldiers from the Jianghuai region were terrified, fearing that they would be exterminated by the king of Chu, or by the crown prince.
At the same time, the generals of the Shouying Guard Army who were born from the Jianghuai nobles frequently began to contact the Jianghuai nobles.
The next day, that is, the third day of the Prince Heng Incident, the Jianghuai nobles united most of the Shouying guards to betray the Prince Heng, and played the banner of putting things right and serving the King of Chu.
Subsequently, the prince Heng and the Shouying guards fought fiercely in Shouchun City.
Soon after the fierce battle between the two sides, the people of Shouchun, who had long been dissatisfied with the crown prince, took action one after another, took up arms from their homes and went out of the house to help the Shouying guards.
With the rebellion of the countrymen, the army of the prince Heng was immediately defeated, and then retreated to the palace.
In the middle of the day, the Chinese armed forces and the soldiers of the Shouying Guard Army broke through the palace, and won the crown prince Heng, Gongzi Ping, Gongyin Gongcheng and others, while Sima Jingque, Tingli Shenhu and others committed suicide.
As for the Jianghan nobles, a few were killed, a few were captured, and most fled to Jianghan.
At sunset, when Xiong Huai led 150,000 Jiangdong troops back to Shouchun by sea, he learned that Prince Heng had been captured by the countrymen, and he couldn't help but be silent.
After muttering for a long time, Xiong Huai hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Waste, in vain as the son of a widow, all the faces of the widow have been lost by him." β
