Chapter Twenty-Six: Nine Phoenixes Are Punished
Xu Yang's incident caused the lives of more than 100 people in the Xu Mansion to be beheaded, but the Jiuhuang, who was only a daughter of the Xu Mansion, was still alive. Despite this, the Xu Mansion did not fall.
Those who regret the Xu Mansion or watch the decline of the Xu Mansion with a good eye on the show, when they see that Zhao Xuan, the third prince who was promoted and cultivated by Zhao Yun, is also standing in the Xu Mansion, and the ruthless son Qin Jue, who has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for decades, suddenly appeared and stood in the Xu Mansion, and more importantly, even the Huayang Villa, which has never participated in any court and does not interact with people in the court, is also standing behind the Xu Mansion.
In Shangjing, Ink Xuan is located in the most prosperous emperor street of the Celestial Empire, and is the most famous restaurant in Shangjing.
In the No. 2 private room on the third floor of Ink Xuan, two people, one black and one blue, sit opposite each other, the man in blue is plump and handsome, if you don't pay attention to his feminine eyes, he can still be called a handsome boy with a good demeanor; The man in black had his back to the door of the private room, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, he knew that he was an old man by looking at his silver-haired appearance.
Outside the door of the private room, there were two strong men with strong bodies, guarding the door with fierce faces; In the private room, the man in blue looked at the old man in black opposite with a dissatisfied expression: "What's going on?" When did Xu Fu have such a big force behind him? ”
When the old man in black heard the words of the man in blue, he was also very angry in his heart, he didn't expect that he finally got Xu Mansion, Jiuhuang didn't have the support of Xu Mansion, and he just needed an opportunity to solve her, but before he could be happy, there were so many forces behind Xu Mansion, to be precise, so many forces came out behind Jiuhuang.
The old man in black was none other than Taishi Yang Jin. When he heard about the people who appeared when the Xu Mansion was mourning, Yang Jin was full of anger. Now that he is being questioned in person, the anger in Yang Jin's heart can be imagined.
He glanced at the man in blue sitting opposite, and said: "The eldest prince also saw it, and he never knew about these forces behind the Xu Mansion, now the three princes are close to Jiuhuang, and the emperor is very important to the three princes, and he has an army of 300,000 in his hands, if the three princes really follow to seize the prince, then the eldest prince must have no chance of winning." ”
Yang Jin said sharply about the facts that made Zhao Ye angry, but he knew that even if what he said would make Zhao Ye dissatisfied, or even angry, he knew that even if Zhao Ye wanted to be angry, he would not attack in front of him.
Just as Yang Jin guessed in his heart, Zhao Ye first looked at Yang Jin angrily after hearing Yang Jin's words, but he knew in his heart that every word Yang Jin said was an unchangeable fact.
Zhao Xuan came back after fighting an army of 300,000 and going to Yuzhou to regain lost territory, Zhao Yun did not mention asking him to hand over the military power, such an obvious situation, how could Zhao Ye, who has always been extremely smart, not see the clues?
Although Zhao Yun pampered himself, he never gave himself military power, even in the establishment of the prince, let alone thought of making himself the prince, otherwise he had asked his grandfather and the ministers to admonish the prince many times, but he did not see Zhao Yun say anything, but delayed again and again.
Now the third brother is getting the favor of his father, holding a large army in his hands, although the fourth brother has no real power in his hands, but he has the support of the queen, and there is Nie Bu behind him to lead the army, and he, in addition to his own power, except for his ancestors to help him in the court, he does not have any trace of military power; So among the three adult princes, the most likely to become the prince, the biggest chance of victory is the unknown but suddenly rising third brother.
Zhao Ye, who has always longed for the throne, how could so many years of careful planning make him go down the drain. Originally, the matter of the Xu Mansion did not attract his attention, and he did not have time to pay attention to it, but after learning that Zhao Xuan was very close to the Xu Mansion, Zhao Ye began to pay attention to everything in the Xu Mansion, and knew that Zhao Xuan was deliberately trying to win over the Xu Mansion, who had always been an honest official in the Celestial Empire, to support him, Zhao Ye couldn't bear it, and finally followed Yang Jin to exterminate the Xu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the Xu Mansion was wiped out, but there was still Jiuhuang, the righteous daughter in the Xu Mansion, who showed the power behind her in the mourning hall of the Xu Yang couple, which made them who had been watching the jokes couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhao Ye retracted his thoughts, glared at Yang Jin angrily, his eyes slowly softened, and he joked: "Why should the Taishi be like this, this prince is just a joke, why should the Taishi be serious." ”
Yang Jin picked up the fragrant tea in front of him and sipped it, Zhao Ye had already sensed the gaze that stared at him before, but now seeing him say like this, Yang Jin knew it in his heart, and at the same time he was a little disdainful.
After hearing Zhao Ye's words, Yang Jin put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What the eldest prince said is that the old man just made a joke with the eldest prince. ”
Yang Jin's words were heard in Zhao Ye's ears, how could Zhao Ye not know what Yang Jin was thinking in his heart and the voice outside his words, and shouted in his heart: Old fox.
"What we should do now is how not to affect the forces behind Jiuhuang, Jiuhuang must get rid of it."
Looking at the tough smile on Zhao Ye's face, Yang Jin also knew that after all, Zhao Ye was the prince who had been held in the palm of his hand by Emperor Zhao Yun, so he could only break this embarrassing scene by himself first, and find a step for him to go down without letting him lose face.
Zhao Ye heard Yang Jin's words, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Why does the Taishi have to put the Nine Phoenix to death?" ”
This is something that Zhao Ye has never understood, in his opinion, although the power behind Jiuhuang is very large, as long as she will not help Zhao Xuan in seizing the crown, Zhao Ye thinks that Jiuhuang is not hindering his path, and there is no reason to remove it.
If you want to get rid of Jiuhuang, in addition to helping Batu at the beginning, it was more that Jiuhuang provoked Yang Jin again and again, so that this Taishi, who has been going well, has been going well with Jiuhuang, since he has been facing Jiuhuang, everything is not going well, and this breath in his heart can be solved by no one except to get rid of Jiuhuang.
But he won't tell Zhao Ye about these; Without answering Zhao Ye's words directly, Yang Jin was silent for a moment and said: "Tomorrow at noon, at three o'clock, everyone in the Xu Mansion will behead the people in Xuanwu Gate, and when the time comes, the Nine Phoenixes will definitely go, and we must be prepared to prevent the Nine Phoenixes from robbing people." ”
Kindness? Zhao Ye first failed to understand Yang Jin's words, but later after thinking about it, he realized that he was afraid of the Nine Phoenix Robbery prisoners. Zhao Ye had a feeling in his heart that Jiuhuang might not only not rob the prisoners, but also not go to the execution ground.
On August 23, the sixteenth year of the Celestial Dynasty, outside the Xuanwu Gate, a generation of loyal ministers Xu Yang's family, from the master to the maids and servants, were all beheaded for Xu Yang's greed for ink.
As for the Xu Mansion, Jiuhuang set up a mourning hall for the Xu Yang couple in the Xu Mansion for two days, and buried the Xu Yang Xu Mansion in front of the Yujing Mountain outside the capital city at the moment of August 23 in the 16th year of the Heavenly Dynasty.
Xu Yang was loyal to the country during his lifetime, and the three generations of the Xu Mansion helped stabilize the country of the Celestial Empire; Generations of loyal and good people never thought of falling to such a point, which not only chilled the hearts of the people of Xufu, but also chilled the hearts of officials who followed Xu Yang and Xu Yang.
Jiuhuang buried Xu Yang and his wife on Yujing Mountain in order to let them see how this empire that they loyally defended treated them, which is also to let Jiuhuang always remember how the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty treated these loyalists.
The timing of the burial of Xu Yang and his wife was on the same day as the beheading of Yu Gu in Xu Mansion, although there was a gap of several hours, but it also made everyone who did not know Jiuhuang's mind speculate about what Jiuhuang meant.
Everyone in the Xu Mansion was beheaded, shouldn't she go to the execution ground to see the scene of the people in the Xu Mansion being beheaded? Why is she buried Xu Yang and his wife at this time?
As the prince, Zhao Xuan cannot participate in the burial of Xu Yang and his wife, and he is now reluctant to appear in front of Jiuhuang.
After the people of the Xu Mansion were beheaded, Jiuhuang had to accept the punishment of thirty military sticks, and until now, Zhao Xuan had never found a way to help Jiuhuang avoid punishment.
And the eldest prince Zhao Ye and the prince Yang Jin didn't know when they wanted Emperor Zhao Yun to ask for an order to supervise the punishment of Jiuhuang, which made Zhao Xuan's attempt to cheat and unable to exercise.
"I'm sorry, I can't find a way to help you avoid the stick."
Zhao Xuan looked at Jiuhuang and said embarrassedly, no one knows how difficult it was in his heart after he said this, it was more difficult for him than letting him drink a cup of poison, and the pain in his heart could be compared with the pain when he lost his mother.
Zhao Xuan woke up in shock, he cared so much about Jiuhuang in his heart; Thinking of the woman he had vowed to marry, Zhao Xuan turned around and left with his infidelity to the woman.
Jiuhuang watched Zhao Xuan leave inexplicably and wondered for a moment, and then heard the words of the eldest prince Zhao Ye.
"Lord Jiuhuang, the time has come."
Hearing Zhao Ye's words, Jiuhuang glanced at Zhao Ye, Yang Jin and Zhao Xuan who were sitting on the prison platform, and in the vast military camp, many soldiers gathered around to watch.
Jiuhuang saw the dissatisfaction and anger in their eyes and faces, she knew that this was the soldiers' concern for her, smiled, and then walked to the torture table easily.
The man who executed for her was a soldier she had never seen before. After the soldier saw Jiuhuang coming up, he said, "The county lord is offended." ”
Then Zhao Ye's "punishment began." After that, the soldier waved the military stick in his hand and landed heavily behind Jiuhuang.
The wooden stick fell on the body, and even though there was a gap between the clothes, the sound of "poof", "poof" and "poof" could be clearly heard.
The first stick fell on her body, Jiuhuang felt the golden light in front of her eyes, and the huge pain came from behind, and she broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but she clenched her teeth and didn't let herself make a snort.
The soldier continued to perform the first stick, the second stick, the third stick, the fourth stick.... Jiuhuang kept clenching her teeth and kept silent, blood had been soaked out of her body, and the pain on her body made her unable to see the crowded soldiers in the distance, but she was still strong and endured.
