Chapter 90: The Dust Settles

(Spoiler alert: Luoyang's seizure of power is coming to an end temporarily, and then Pig's Feet will have to fight a secret war with the family while dealing with the upcoming Eight Kings Rebellion, which is another high @ tide, I hope you will continue to support it greatly!) )

Everyone was a little speechless, looking at the prince who was bouncing on the side, it turned out that he beat Sun Xiu violently just now, just to move his muscles. At this moment, two generals dripping with blood walked in, came to Sima Shu and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, all the rebels in the capital have been wiped out, and the 30,000 rebel prisoners who participated in the rebellion have been detained on the school grounds, waiting for His Highness to deal with them!" ”

"Leet!"

"The minister is here!"

"Message: Show all the officers above the rank of commander in the forbidden army who participated in the rebellion to the public!"

"Wow!"

Everyone was in an uproar again, they didn't care that the crown prince Yue Yue gave the order on behalf of the emperor, they cared about the officers who were about to be killed. These forbidden army officers have more or less some relationship with everyone present, and this is also a way for the courtiers to exert influence on the forbidden army, but this time I am afraid that all of them will be taken advantage of by the prince.

"Sima Ya!"

"The minister is here!"

"Message: Behead this Sun Xiu's family all over the house, leave no chickens and dogs, and punish his three clans, and hang the corpses of the whole clan in the city to warn the world! In the future, all those who infringe on the majesty of the royal family will do the same! By the way, and this bastard dared to make a move on the queen! Pull him down and dispose of him too! ”

"Yes!"

Sima Ya waved a few people in his hand, and dragged Sun Xiu and the soldier who had just done it down, and no one dared to say anything, even King Zhao was silent.

"Meng Guan!"

"The minister is here!"

It was only then that everyone understood why it was the crown prince who benefited in the end. It turned out that Meng Guan had already thrown himself under the command of the prince, no wonder the prince was so easy to obey the orders of the imperial court to return to Beijing, and it turned out that the family had already left a back hand.

And Sima Lun saw Meng Guan at this time, how could he not understand what was going on, he thought he was a yellow bird, but he didn't expect the prince to be a hunter, I am afraid that his every move is under the control of the prince, and he was led by the nose by the other party like a fool, and in an instant, King Zhao lost his spirit.

"Message: Abolish King Zhao as a concubine, and behead his family to show the public! All the families involved in the rebellion have been taken into custody pending trial! ”

Everyone present quietly watched the prince perform alone, but no one dared to interrupt, and they were all shocked by the prince's ruthlessness. The three holy decrees issued by the crown prince on behalf of the emperor have at least tens of thousands of people to fall to the ground, and these big families who have been chatting and farting in the capital all day long are really frightened.

In the past, they only heard that the prince was extremely ruthless and slaughtered tens of thousands of Hu people in Chang'an and Beidi, but after all, they didn't see it with their own eyes, so although they muttered in their hearts, they were not too afraid. But when they saw with their own eyes that the prince had made tens of thousands of people lose their heads without blinking his eyes, they finally began to feel a fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially those officials of the family who had opposed the crown prince, they were even more in a tremble, afraid that the prince would take the opportunity to settle accounts with them. It's a pity that Sima Shu doesn't have time to settle accounts with them for the time being, and he has more important things to do now. The reason why Sima Shu wanted to kill so many people was not because he was fond of killing, but because he had to do it.

Sima Shu had not set foot in the capital for nearly ten years, and if he wanted to control the situation in the capital in the shortest possible time, he had to use some special means. The identities of those commanders at all levels in the forbidden army were not as innocent as Sima Shu's subordinates, and they were inextricably linked with the ministers present.

Later, Sima Shu once read an article on the Internet, which specifically introduced the role played by the forbidden army of the Jin Dynasty in previous coups, and it was always these forbidden troops who dealt a fatal blow to themselves at every critical moment. If you want to say that there is no one behind this, you don't believe him if you kill him.

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the influence of the ministers and clans in the forbidden army, Sima Shu had no choice but to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. I believe that after such a purge by him, the forbidden army in the entire capital will be under his control, and only with a gun in his hand can Sima Shu speak with confidence.

Only by controlling the forbidden army can he complete the first step in controlling the capital, and Sima Shu dares to further reform the internal evils of the Jin Dynasty, otherwise he will always worry that he will be kicked off the throne in the middle of the night.

"It just so happens that all the ministers are here, and there are a few things that need everyone's cooperation!" Sima Shu glanced at the ministers present and said slowly.

"Your Highness is polite, please ask Your Highness to order, and the ministers will do it!"

When some of the wall grass saw that the prince had something to order, they couldn't wait to jump out to show their loyalty to the prince. Sima Shu smiled unceremoniously at this, although the grass on the wall is useless, sometimes it can strengthen the momentum and support the scene.

"Good! The first thing is to depose the queen! ”

"What?! This...... What's going on here? ”

As soon as Sima Shu's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, they didn't expect that the crown prince, who was still 'doing justice' for Empress Jia just now, would abolish the queen in a blink of an eye. Even Jia Nanfeng, who had been silent, was completely sluggish, in fact, Sima Shu was not angry with Jia Nanfeng just now, but to maintain the dignity of the queen's identity.

"Queen Jia ****, bullying the saint should be abolished."

"Yes, the Jia family is the mastermind of this rebellion, and Jia Nanfeng is no longer worthy of the world!"

"That's it, that is, the Jia family should also be punished by the Nine Clans!"

As soon as the prince's voice fell, a group of wall grasses waved their flags and shouted. Who in the audience didn't know that this was the prince who wanted to settle the score, but what could they say, after all, it was Empress Jia who wanted to kill the prince first, and the prince just fought back.

Zhang Hua and Pei Wei glanced at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and then went out of class and said:

"Prince Qiqi, the ministers agreed to abolish the queen, but the country cannot be left without a queen, and another queen needs to be established as soon as possible. I wonder if there is a candidate for the prince? ”

"Lonely's biological mother, Xie Shuyuan, is virtuous and virtuous, Su Yongde Mao, gentle and courteous, has the quality of Hui Soft, soft and bright, has the beauty of Anzheng, and is quiet and upright, enough to be a mother in the world!"

"Mothers are more expensive than children!"

This is the only thought that appeared in the minds of everyone present, Xie Shuyuan has suffered so much in the palace for so many years, and now she has finally come out. With such a capable son, as long as Sima Shu does not fall, Xie Shuyuan's future position as queen may be as solid as a rock.

"Do you have any opinions?"

At this time, who dared to contradict the prince, everyone agreed for a while, and in less than a while, someone prepared the edict.

Sima Shu took a look and saw that it was written: The edict of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty said: Heaven and earth are harmonious, yin and yang are harmonious, and all things are unified. There is Xie Shijiu, gentle and obedient, dignified, smart and virtuous, born the prince and son, according to the gift of my emperor Jin, canonized Xie Shijiu as the queen, the mother of the world, and the people are more beginning, admiring this.

Sima Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up the jade seal and added seals to the two edicts, so that Xie Jiu was a legitimate queen, and for a while, some clever little chamberlains and palace maids ran to the side hall where Xie Jiu lived to report the good news.

Seeing that the queen's matter was solved, Zhang Hua and Pei Wei looked at the heroic prince and suddenly had a bold idea, why not just let the wise and martial prince ascend the throne and follow Sima Cheng as the emperor? Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other and fell to the ground in unison.

"Please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne as emperor!"

"Please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne as emperor!"

Why are you so stupid? Some wall grasses saw Zhang Hua and Pei Weiren snatching the jackpot, and immediately reacted, this is a meritorious achievement! In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, will he not be able to reward the heroes who contributed at the beginning? With such a calculation, others also rushed to ask Sima Shu to ascend the throne and become emperor.

It is said that Sima Shu was really moved at first, but his intuition told him that the time was not yet ripe! Just when Sima Shu was a little at a loss, he suddenly saw Zhang Bin quietly shaking his head at him, out of trust in Zhang Bin, he temporarily pressed the heart that was about to move, and then said modestly: "Ministers, listen to the words of this palace." At present, his father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can Lone do something to force his father to abdicate, so that Lone will not lose the popularity of the world? ”

"Your Highness, how can this be forced? Everyone present looked forward to His Royal Highness's accession to the throne as soon as possible. And the saint has been in poor health, can not handle government affairs normally, usually Jia Hou monopolized the government, today Jia Hou is gone, Xie Niangniang is a character who has no quarrel with the world, if no one temporarily presides over the government, I am afraid that there will be chaos! "Zhang Hua is determined to want the prince to ascend the throne this time, he is indeed out of public intentions, but it is difficult for others to say.

At this time, Sima Shu also reacted, this is indeed not the best time for him to ascend the throne and become emperor, if he ascends the throne today, I am afraid that there will be rumors tomorrow, saying that he forced his father to kill his mother for the throne, and then those ambitious princes and kings will not all have to rebel?

Although even if he doesn't ascend the throne, there will still be people who take the opportunity to make trouble, but in ancient times when he paid attention to fame, he still hoped that he would have a good reputation, and he needed to temporarily stabilize the princes and kings in various places, so Sima Shu decided not to be the emperor for the time being. Even so, the power of the court still fell into his hands?

"Since His Highness refuses to ascend the throne, then please ask Your Highness to bear the burden of supervising the country in front of the old minister!"

Sure enough, under Sima Shu's repeated resignations, Zhang Hua and others took a step back and advocated that the crown prince should be given full authority to handle the government in the name of the prison state.

In this way, Sima Shu and his ministers stayed in the Taiji Hall until dawn, and everyone was allowed to go home. The moment everyone left the gate of the palace, they all had a feeling of reincarnation, and some people looked up at the sky, only to find that the sky of the Great Jin Dynasty was finally about to change. With such a strong and capable prince, everyone should be cautious in the future!

Sima Shu did not return to the East Palace at this time, but went to Xie Jiu's palace with the holy decree, at this time Xie Jiu's treatment was very different from before, and many little yellow doors and little palace maids who got the news came to please Xie Jiu, especially those Xie Jiu's henchmen, at this time it can be regarded as raising eyebrows.

And although Xie Jiu got the letter, she was still a little uneasy before she saw Sima Shu with her own eyes. There was chaos in the palace last night, and if the prince hadn't arranged guards for her in advance, I really don't know what would have happened. Because a few of the routs ran here last night, and before they could make a mess, they were neatly prepared by the guards.

"Yu'er, are you alright?" Xie Jiu tightly pulled Sima Shu's arm, looking up and down, left and right, for fear that he would be injured.

"Mother, don't worry, the son is fine!" Sima Shu accompanied Xie Jiu for a long time before calming the other party down.
