On the West Mountain.

The turmoil of King Kang's rebellion has calmed down, and Zuo Xiaowei is counting the casualties.

If the two armies are evenly matched, both sides will suffer heavy casualties.

But because the gap between the number of the shadow guard and the right Ximen guard was too large, it was almost a touch of collapse, so there were not too many casualties, and the vast majority of them were just captured alive.

As for the Zuo Ximen guards below, after hearing that King Kang was defeated, they were surrounded by the guards who rushed over, and they also put down their weapons one after another, and the generals of the guards were all taken down by the Marquis of Wulie.

The rebellion lasted for a short time, and has since subsided completely.

Tang Ning looked at Chen Zhou who came over and praised: "Good job." ”

Chen Zhou said embarrassedly: "It's all adults who are far-sighted. ”

Chen Zhou and Xiao Jue can be said to have made great contributions to this incident, and their rewards were indispensable afterwards.

Tang Ning's eyes looked at the palace in front of him, the sky above the main hall was as blue as a wash, today was a rare good weather in the winter moon, but the blue sky, in Tang Ning's eyes, was covered with a thick layer of blood.

In the temple.

Emperor Chen stood with his hands in his hands, his face calm, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

King Kang sat cross-legged on the ground, his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Huang finally turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”

King Kang raised his head and asked self-deprecatingly, "Do I have a choice?" ”

Emperor Chen knew the deep meaning of his words, but in fact, if he was King Kang, he would definitely make the same choice as him, even more extreme than what he did.

Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "You did that assassination yourself?" ”

Now, King Kang no longer concealed it, nodded and said, "It's me." ”

Emperor Chen was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want me to do with you?" ”

King Kang remembered what Mr. Xu told him yesterday, but he still shook his head and said, "Father, let's kill me, remember to move faster, I heard that if the movement of the knife is fast enough, people will not feel pain." ”

Emperor Chen pulled out a knife from the waist of a janissary, looked at it, and said, "I haven't touched a knife for many years. ”

King Kang lowered his head, didn't dodge or dodge, but when Emperor Chen walked out, he sighed lightly and said, "If there is a next life, I don't want to be your son......"

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Don't you regret it?" ”

King Kang said: "If I say I regret it, will you let me go?" ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

King Kang looked at his eyes for a long time before he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's boring to live, it's better to die." ”

"As you wish."

Chen Huang said lightly, raised the long knife in his hand, and swung it hard.

Boom!

The blade collided with the ground, sparks splashed everywhere, and from beginning to end, King Kang's stretched head did not retract.

Emperor Chen threw the knife on the ground, his expression was dejected, and said, "I am a failed father and a failed emperor. ”

"Nope." King Kang shook his head and said, "You are just a failed father, as an emperor, the previous emperors of all dynasties can't compare to you." ”

Emperor Chen turned around, didn't look at King Kang again, and said, "Take him down, Xuan Tangning come in." ”

When Tang Ning entered the palace, he passed by King Kang, although King Kang rebelled, even if he was the prince, he could not escape the death penalty, but it seemed that Emperor Chen did not want to kill him.

Think about it, the tiger poison does not eat the child, the person who kills the brother and the father, Tang Ning has seen it, but the person who killed the son, he still doesn't know one.

Emperor Chen turned his back to him and asked, "When did you know that King Kang was going to rebel?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Last night. ”

Emperor Chen asked, "Why don't you report to me?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, the people who said that the Zhang family was going to rebel, the corpses were all rotten...... the ministers were just guessing, and they were not sure, so they did not report to Your Majesty, but just made some precautions in advance." ”

To Tang Ning's surprise, Emperor Chen didn't interrogate too much on this issue, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Isn't it ridiculous that my son wants to rebel against me and kill me?" ”

If you want to say ridiculous, the one on the steppe is ridiculous, his son not only rebelled, but also succeeded......

"It's not Your Majesty's fault." Tang Ning lowered his head and said, "It's all King Kang who was confused by ambition, but fortunately it didn't cause a catastrophe......

Emperor Chen didn't speak again, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Go back to the palace." ”

……

The imperial court spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to hold this festival, which was halfway held and ended hastily.

Although the rebellion has been settled this time, as an emperor, after experiencing such a thing, how can he continue the festival as if nothing happened.

What happened at today's festival will definitely become a shame for his emperor's career, and for Emperor Chen, who has an excellent face, this is obviously an unacceptable thing.

When everyone returned to Beijing, all the soldiers of the Ximen guards were taken down by the guards and waited for disposal.

Qi Yu, the general of the right Ximen guard, is nowhere to be found, and he has not appeared since before the start of today's festival.

In addition to him, all the high-ranking generals of the two guards have been taken down, and what awaits them will be extremely severe punishment.

The return of the group to Beijing made the people in Beijing surprised and puzzled.

According to the flow of the festival, they should not be able to return to Beijing after more than an hour, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come back so early.

And looking at the faces of the accompanying officials, it seems that something terrible has happened at this festival.

Although no one has revealed any information, paper can't contain fire after all.

Soon after the Son of Heaven returned to the palace and the hundred officials returned home, the news of a shocking person numbness came out from the various high gates.

This festival did not go to the end, because King Kang colluded with Ximen Wei and intended to rebel at the festival, and His Majesty and the royal family almost fell into the hands of King Kang.

Although King Kang's rebellion was quickly suppressed by Zuo Xiaowei, such a thing happened, and the festival naturally couldn't continue.

In this process, King Kang and all the Ximen guards on the left and right were captured, and the Zhang family really followed King Kang......

When they heard the news, countless people felt a little numb in their scalps.

King Kang rebelled and almost succeeded, doesn't this mean that today's Jingshi almost changed things?

The shock that this news brought to Jingshi was far greater than the Jiangnan Rebellion and the Battle of the Northwest, after all, both of these were very far away from them, and this matter really happened around them.

The cost of rebellion was enormous, and within an hour of His Majesty's return to the palace, several holy decrees left the palace.

King Kang's rebellion and rebellion are disrespectful, and from now on, he will be reduced to a commoner, imprisoned in the palace, and will not be free for life.

Obviously, for King Kang, he rebelled and rebelled, and this punishment was still light, but from His Majesty's point of view, King Kang was his son after all, and he could understand the matter of sparing his life.

At the same time, Concubine Zhang Xian removed the position of Concubine Xian and entered the cold palace.

Concubine Zhang Xian, as the mother of King Kang, naturally cannot escape the involvement.

The Ximen guard Zhang family rebelled and rebelled, including the head of the Zhang family, all the people in charge were decided.

The Zhang family was full of doors, and the remaining men were assigned to the army, and the women were entered into the lowly status and filled into the workshop, and at the same time, all the generals and guards involved in the Ximen Guard, because His Majesty Chrysostom had said that the death penalty could be avoided, but the living crime was inescapable, and all were demoted to official slaves and scattered to serve in various states.

The aftermath of King Kang's rebellion lasted for several days and did not subside, and Tang Ning did not go to court for several days.

Because since the festival, Emperor Chen has fallen ill.
