Soon the Bozhou officials flew to the imperial court, Bozhou Li Chong was beheaded, the rebellion was put down, and there were only seven days from the beginning of the army to the end.

However, Li Chong's father, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, rebelled in Yuzhou and captured Shangcai County. Li Zhen had to rebel, and he was the only clan that responded to Li Chong, and the rest of the clans suddenly became panicked because of Li Chong's failure, so they tried to protect themselves.

Due to such a reaction from the clan, the scheming Empress Dowager Wu suddenly had an idea, he wanted to see how many people in the court still wanted to rebel, so she ordered Zuo Bao Taowei General Lu Chongyu to be the general of the Chinese army, and Prime Minister Wu Changqian to be the general manager of the rear army, commanding 100,000 troops to fight, and at the same time he ordered his henchman Wenchang Zuo Cheng Zhang Guangfu to be the army festival, with a force of 300,000, and set off to Yuzhou.

At this time, Li Zhen's army was only 5,000 people, and when the soldiers heard that the imperial court was coming, they had no fighting spirit, and even used the military talisman drawn by the Taoist priest to keep them close.

Besides, Qiu Shenji led the troops to Bozhou, and the Bozhou officials went out of the city to greet them, because Li Chong had been killed, so the Bozhou officials were ready to ask for merit and offered Li Chong's head as a proof.

Qiu Shenji led the troops to the city, drew his long sword, and shouted: "The officials and people of Bozhou followed Li Chong to rebel, and there is no mercy for killing!" ”

Suddenly, the soldiers stabbed their spears at the people and officials who were still kneeling aside, and for a while the cries and screams were intertwined with the entire Bozhou City. Qiu Shenji laughed, and then ordered the soldiers to start looting, these soldiers were originally here to mix the merits on the battlefield, but they didn't expect Li Chong to die after coming, at this time, the general let the robbery, it's not good to rob, and by the way, rob a lot. As a result, the entire Bozhou City was completely boiling. Men were killed, children were thrown to death, old people were kicked to death. The women were dragged into corners or deep alleys to take turns of obscenity. In short, the city of Bozhou wailed in blood and fire.

According to statistics, nearly 2,000 houses were destroyed in Bozhou, countless houses were burned, and most of the entire Bozhou city was destroyed. So on the second day, Qiu Shenji cut off five or six thousand heads and transported them to Shendu to invite merit. The whole Hebei was shocked!

After Zhang Guangfu arrived in Yuzhou, Li Zhen saw that the general trend had gone. He committed suicide with his family, the officials and people of Yuzhou went out of the city to surrender, and Zhang Guangfu ordered the soldiers to kill 3,000 officials and people. Then he ordered the soldiers to loot and punish 800 families in Yuzhou, with nearly 5,000 people.

Di Renjie inspected Yuzhou, and since Li Zhen's rebellion, he has been the new Yuzhou assassin. 5,000 people were rescued from the execution ground. Instead, he was exiled to Toyosu Frontier. So after Zhang Guangfu returned to the court, he complained to the Empress Dowager Wu, and Di Renjie was demoted to the history of Fuzhou Assassin.

The detailed information of Qiu Shenji and Zhang Guangfu was told to Wu Qing by Yan Ruyu, and Wu Qing was hated because the shops in Bozhou and Yuzhou were completely destroyed, especially more than ten shops in Yuzhou, and half of the staff died.

In short, Qiu Shenji and Zhang Guangfu are dead in the eyes of Wu Qing.

Wu Qing entered the Forbidden Palace. When he saw the Empress Dowager Wu, he said: "Does Mother think those heads are anti-thief heads?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "What does Qing'er think? ”

Wu Qing said: "There are baby heads in that pile of heads. Can babies rebel with knives? ”

Wu Qing said something angry, Empress Dowager Wu's eyes suddenly froze, and then she said: "Qing'er, those in power must not have the kindness of a woman, you will understand in the future." ”

Wu Qing also knew that his words were a little heavy, so he bowed down and said: "It's all because Weichen is angry for a while, please forgive the child for being reckless." ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "You don't have to be like this, in fact, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but since I have already done it, can I admit my mistake again?" I still want to kill Qiu Shenji and Zhang Guangfu to vent the anger of the people, so who else is willing to serve my Wu clan? ”

Hearing this, Wu Qing couldn't help but think deeply. Maybe Empress Dowager Wu is right, but the reign of terror will not last long, and throughout history, how can there be a dynasty that reigns by terror for a long time? Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the Qin Dynasty is a huge dynasty, and it has only been a country for fifteen years.

Wu Qing didn't know why Wu Zhou was restored by Li Tang again, but it was obvious that it might have something to do with Empress Dowager Wu's reign of terror.

In any case, the rebellion of the clan ended tragically, and what followed was a secret confession and a trial by the imperial historian, but the imperial historian could not find any evidence. Empress Dowager Wu had no choice but to hand over the matter to Zhou Xing and other cool officials, and immediately, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Wei, the prince of Huang Guo, Princess Changle and his wife, and other clans were taken to prison.

Soon, Li Yuanjia and others committed suicide in prison, and the pro-party punishment was unknown.

Immediately afterwards, Li Rong, the prince of Dongguan County, was imprisoned according to the shackles, and hundreds of people were implicated, Li Rong was also beheaded, and his family was confiscated. Gao Zigong, the wine of Chengjun Festival, was also punished, and his family was confiscated. Jeju assassin Shi Xue Yi, his brother Xue Xu, Xue Shao and Li Chong conspired, and they were also killed.

Until the end of the year, Huo Wang Li Yuanliang was cut off the prince, loaded into a prisoner car, and finally froze to death in the heavy snow. The family was not exiled to Lingnan.

Empress Dowager Wu naturally wouldn't just forget it, so her woman's nature was revealed, and all the family members of the rebels were changed to the surname "Yu".

In short, almost seventy percent of the clan was killed this time.

Wu Qing returned to Wufu after teaching at Qingxin Academy, but saw Princess Taiping waiting for him in the study.

Seeing that Princess Taiping was worried, she asked, "What is going on Taiping?" ”

Princess Taiping said: "Ah Lang, the mother emperor killed the clan, what should I do." ”

Only then did Wu Qing understand that Princess Taiping was worried that the clan would be killed, so she said: "I can't do this either, Wu Chengsi and the others can't wait to kill all your clans now." You'd better leave it alone, although you are the favorite daughter of the God Emperor, once you are disobedient, then you will be the second Li Xian, or Li Xian. Be your princess well, don't ask or listen to the affairs of the court, understand? ”

Princess Taiping heard Wu Qing say this, and smiled bitterly in her heart, she was so stupid, they were the Wu family, how could she be stupid enough to ask the people of the Wu family. But Wu Qing's words are not unreasonable. Wuqing rarely entered the court, and every day he either went to Zuo Yu Linwei to see, or went to Qingxin Academy to teach, or went to Wuqing County to inspect. He never echoed the auspicious offerings, nor did he tell the Queen Mother. But I have to say that Wuqing is like the pillar of the Wu family.

Wu Qing naturally saw Taiping's face, so he pulled Princess Taiping to sit down and said: "Taiping, I hope you don't mess with power, even if Qiu Shenji shows loyalty to you, don't say anything, be your princess, take care of this family for me, is it okay?" ”

Princess Taiping's heart trembled, it turned out that Wu Qing knew about her secret reception of Qiu Shenji, so what else did he not know about in this mansion? She suddenly felt a sense of fear, which turned out to be from her own colt, a man who looked like a book.

"I see, colt." Taiping said slowly.

Wu Qing knew how the stubborn Princess Taiping would listen to his words, but he really didn't want to see Taiping killed by the Empress Dowager Wu, after all, this woman was his real wife. And he has lived for six years and has a son and a daughter. Thinking of this, it is better to let Princess Taiping get pregnant again, so that she is powerless to distract from other things.

"Taiping, are we a little less children, let's have another one tonight?"

Princess Taiping looked at Wu Qing, who was a little anxious, and had the heart to refuse, but she thought that she had not been in love for many days, so she nodded. (To be continued......)
