Perhaps it was Lin Zhao's strategy that worked, or perhaps the fifth column of Ping'an Prefecture finally broke out, and in the middle of the night on September 8, the capital fell into calm after the lively outing, and everyone was still asleep. Suddenly, the entire capital burst into flames, and at the same time, the sound of soldiers and soldiers resounded in the night sky.

Lin Zhao accompanied Emperor Xiaode to stand on the wall of the palace city, looking at the entire capital, and reported the casualties to Emperor Xiaode from time to time.

This rebellion was originally to lure the snake out of the hole, so it was very well prepared.

Emperor Xiaode said that he wanted Lin Zhao to take command, but in fact, Lin Zhao only played the role of a secretary.

The real controller is the emperor's eldest son, Dingwang, the patrol battalion, the forward battalion, the Xiaocai battalion, and the Jianrui battalion are fully assisted, and the imperial horse supervisor is responsible for the palace ban. As for why the Emperor Taishang and Concubine Xiande were frightened and bedridden, it was not for Lin Zhao to ask.

At dawn, King Ding, Yang Feng, Feng Tang, Chen Ying and others entered the palace with blood stains and handed over the order: "The rebels in the capital have been removed." ”

Emperor Xiaode bowed his head slightly and said: "The casualties of all the soldiers and people in the capital will be counted as soon as possible, and the regulations for the bereavement will also be drafted and submitted." Lin Aiqing, can you contact us and see how they are doing in Ping'an Prefecture?"

Lin Zhao led the order.

After a sleepless night, Emperor Xiaode was inevitably a little tired, so he asked Dai Quan to make tea to eat, and asked casually: "The clan and the noble family, are there any casualties?"

King Ding replied: "In the clan, the prince-level Uncle Liwang and Uncle Heng Wang's families have a simple population, only some of the subordinates in the family have casualties, and several masters are fine; Other Uncle Wang ......"

King Ding sighed and said: "When the retainers received the news and hurried to the rescue, it was too late, several uncles were killed, and the princess and aunt were loyal and martyred, and refused to be insulted by the rebels, so they also killed themselves." The ladies in the palace, except for a few shameless rebels who were killed in order to survive, committed suicide and martyrdom. Among the several families, there was only one concubine left in Uncle Lian Wang's family, and because he was still young, he was hidden by his nurse in a rockery cave to avoid a catastrophe; Uncle Luwang's family was escorted by the government soldiers and retreated to the tunnel, and all the concubines were killed; the little county lord of Uncle Jian's family was hidden in the cave under him by the princess and aunt, and escaped for his life; and the son of Uncle Zheng's family was taken by his foreign family to study and was not in the mansion, but he was spared. ”

Emperor Xiaode bowed his head and said, "What about the county king level?"

King Ding had already inquired clearly, so he came one by one: "...... The idle clan family has no loss, but it is just a few property and a few subordinates, and there are a few more concubines and concubines, and it is safe to be a serious master. It's just that the families of several grandfathers and uncles of the Emperor's generation have been affected more, and almost all of the high-ranking families have been broken. It's that Uncle Yi's grandfather's family is better, the population is simple, but it has been saved, but Uncle Yi's grandfather's heirs are difficult, and there are a few concubines in the family, and now the body is not good, the age is old, and it is difficult for the step-concubine and aunt to get pregnant again. ”

Emperor Xiaode bowed slightly, and was really disdainful in his heart: most of the emperor's generation were spoiled concubines and wives, a lot of concubines, and there were few concubines, all of whom were folded and did not lose, and those family properties were recovered, which could not only compensate the soldiers, but also reward the heroes, and maybe it could also cheapen the treasury, how to calculate this transaction is cost-effective.

Lin Zhao stood under Emperor Xiaode, listening to them talk about the casualties of the eunuchs, his eyes were lowered, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

With the help of the rebels, Emperor Xiaode cut off all the wrists of the Emperor Taishang in the clan, and from then on, whether it was the clan or the foreign dynasty, all had the final say in Emperor Xiaode.

He has truly made a decision on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, the king reported back to the noble officials and eunuchs who had accidents. Lin Zhao went in directly in his left ear and out in his right ear.

Needless to say, most of them were once the confidants or favorite ministers of the Emperor, after Emperor Xiaode took power, they not only still obeyed the orders of the Emperor Taishang and fought against him, but also often looked at each other with several unconvinced princes, and hooked their shoulders to find fault with Emperor Xiaode. Now in this situation, I don't know if they can regret it in their hearts? Those few people who are not, but also for their own or their family's interests, more or less stand on the opposite side of the national policy promulgated by Emperor Xiaode.

Of course, there are so many smart people in the world that people only need to come back to their senses and guess everything.

After all, this chaotic attack is a real thing, and the whole capital is tired of guessing, and they don't dare to say anything nonsense, and it looks good in the history books, and Emperor Xiaode is really a master of taking advantage of the situation.

After listening to the report of King Ding and others, Emperor Xiaode muttered for a long time and said: "In the clan, if there are no children, all the family property will be recovered, and the titles of those who have sons will be inherited by the princes...... How old are the two children?"

King Ding replied: "The prince is two years old, and the county lord of King Jian's mansion is four years old. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xiaode said: "Two years old is not bad, Dai Quan passed the decree, and succeeded Prince Yi of the prince as the son, the nurse of the Lian Wangfu, cherish her loyalty, give her a good citizen to be born, and reward her with a hundred taels of gold, let her go to her home." Oh, by the way, the county lord of King Jian's family is taken care of by Princess Jing, and the Internal Affairs Office gives her two months of silver according to the level of the county lord. ”

Dai Quan received the order.

Emperor Xiaode said again: "The noble official eunuch family, with reference to the clan, if there is an original concubine, the son will inherit it, and the childless family property will be left for the remaining people, etc., and the rest will be recovered." The things that are recovered, Dingwang, will be counted by you and the household department personally, and Jinyi Wei will supervise it. ”

King Ding received the order, and Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows.

He is not Jinyi Wei Dutang now, but I believe that Jinyi Wei will never dare to make noise in the household department, because his old son is the household secretary.

Emperor Xiaode ignored him and said: "If there is any land to be recovered, a few large villages will be built, and those that are set aside for farmland and breeding farms will be operated by the household department, so as to give the wounded soldiers who have retreated a way to live." When the things are clear, you can do it together. Remember, this is a major event related to the country, you have to be careful, the major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, if anyone dares to deceive the upper and lower levels, there is no need to repay me, I promise you the right to cut first and then play. He added: "You are the same, if you dare to think about this matter, I will allow Jinyiwei the right to cut first and then play." ”

King Ding's heart sank, and he hurriedly knelt down and responded: "The ministers will never dare to do this." Erchen has also been on the battlefield and seen blood, and he will never dare to do such a conscienceless thing. ”

Emperor Xiaode said: "I know that you don't dare, so I will entrust this matter to you." Get up, I'm just telling you in vain. ”

With a cold sweat on his back, King Ding slowly stood up and stepped aside.

Emperor Xiaode looked at Lin Zhao and sighed: "You are such a talented person, but you are a gentleman in the capital, I really wronged you, and now the opening of Songjiang Mansion is not good, and I intend to ......"

As soon as he said this, he heard the little eunuch outside the door come in and report: "Sage, someone from Fengzao Palace is here." ”

Emperor Xiaode said impatiently: "What's the matter? If Jia Yuanchun is in poor health, let her go to the imperial doctor, don't come to disturb me!"

The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and replied: "It was the eunuch Guo Hai, the leader of the Fengzao Palace, who came to pay his respects, saying that the imperial doctor diagnosed the slippery pulse for Concubine Xiande, and Niangniang was already a month pregnant." ”

"What?!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Emperor Xiaode's face sank immediately.

The harem gives birth to heirs, and he has always been in control. Since he ascended the throne, in addition to the queen, there are also a few old people in the palace who already know Ansheng, he allows them to get pregnant, and if the other palace concubines are unnecessary, he does not want them to get pregnant easily. Rao is like this, and the four princes under his knees are still making a lot of noise.

At this time, when he heard that Concubine Xiande was pregnant without his permission, how could he not be angry in his heart?
