Chapter 325: Ruthless
Yang Jian was angry, Pifu was angry, but blood was splashed five steps, and the Son of Heaven was angry, which could be bloody.
On the same day, Princess Cui of Qin was given poisoned wine and committed suicide. Subsequently, Yang Jian issued an order to abolish Yang Hao, the concubine of King Qin born to Cui's family, as a concubine, and even Princess Yongfeng, a twelve-year-old concubine born to Cui's family, was abolished as a concubine.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jian issued several edicts in succession, removing Cui Hongdu, the brother of Concubine Cui, from the official title of Duke Cui Hongdu of Wuxiang County, the secretary of the Taifu of Shangzhu State, and removing Cui Hong, the brother of Concubine Cui, from the official position of the Duke of Huangtai County, the doctor of Ziguanglu. The two governors of the Zhu Kingdom were dismissed from official positions and served as people, and then they were ordered to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department for interrogation, and the other children of the Cui family were also implicated and imprisoned. Only half a day later, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai Santai trial, and came up with the Cui family and Cui Concubine conspired to kill the King of Qin, the Son of Heaven was angry, and issued an edict to kill Cui Hongdu Cui Hongsheng The two brothers, the rest of the Cui men, were killed together, and the wives and concubines and daughters were given to the hero's family, and the minor children were all removed from the name and assigned to Shaofu Temple as slaves.
The Cui family was originally a double head and two princesses, and they were extremely hot and powerful, but at this time, they were like being hit by thunder. More than 100 men of the clan were executed, the female dependents rewarded the heroes, and the minor children were removed from the name and assigned to the Shaofu as slaves, and the Cui family was completely thrown into the abyss and could never turn over.
As the Son of Heaven was furious, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, also hurriedly called his eldest son, Yang Zhao, the king of Henan, to the mansion.
"You must take a leave of absence!" Xiao Meiniang looked at her son and said worriedly. The Cui clan used to be very trusted by the Son of Heaven and was also the core family in the Guanlong Military Group, but now this family has been sunk and suffered a catastrophe. At this time, his son's princess Cui can no longer provide them with assistance, but is a burden. At this time. must be clear, and must no longer have anything to do with this Cui family.
Henan Wang Yang Zhao looked at his mother. Some can't believe it. But his mother looked resolute, and he turned to look at his father again. Yang Jian let out a long sigh. "I know that you and the Cui family have a good relationship, and you have only been married for a year, but you know the current situation. Concubine Cui actually poisoned the King of Qin, His Majesty and the Empress were extremely angry, and the Cui family also confessed that they conspired with Concubine Cui"
"Father, you know that's not true."
"It doesn't matter if it's really true or not, in the current situation, His Majesty has already made it clear that he wants to eradicate the Cui family. At this time, you still have to protect Concubine Cui, have you thought about what the results are? ”
"But it's none of her fault, how can I do this to her."
"Child, you listen to your mother's advice, for your good and for her good, you can write a letter of divorce now and divorce her. When I go back, your father and I will arrange for you to send her to the nunnery to become a monk, which can be regarded as your husband and wife. ”
Yang Guang didn't expect such an accident in advance. What is even more unexpected is that the emperor is so angry that he has given such a heavy hand to the Cui family. The entire Cui family is no different from the Extinction Gate, and at this time, how dare he let his son keep the Cui family. Originally, it was considered that the Cui family poisoned and murdered the King of Qin, but at most, the Cui family gave him death. Or the Dotrei Brotherhood will be demoted and dismissed, but it will never be so heavy. But now the emperor disposed of it like this, which made him feel uneasy. Right now, this juncture is on the bone. He didn't dare to let his son keep his daughter-in-law Cui anymore. Leave Cui's family and send Cui's family to become a nun. It can be regarded as preserving this daughter-in-law, no matter what. Can't let Cui's implicate his son, let alone affect him.
"I want to go and ask to see Her Majesty, please forgive her." Yang Zhao lowered his head and said.
"You are confused! When has it been, you can't hide yet, but you still have to touch this mold? "Xiao Sumei hates her son because iron is not steel, this son is too benevolent and honest. He didn't want to think about it, how could the emperor really treat the Cui family like this just because Princess Qin was poisoned? Xiao Sumei has a keen eye and has already seen that this matter is not as simple as it seems. Behind the poisoning case, a round of turmoil has been generated, and the emperor obviously wants to use this case to expand the storm, just like the previous Yan Rong case. A Yan Rong fell, and then he was implicated in several major cases in charge of more than ten assassins and hundreds of officials in the entire Yanyun region. One is not good, the fall of the Cui family in the case of Concubine Cui's poisoning this time is just the beginning, and it is very likely that more people will be implicated in the future.
"You write a letter of resignation now, and if you don't write it, don't leave." Shaw gave his son an order.
After locking his son in the study, Yang Guang and Xiao went to the other hall together.
"Does it really have to be this way?" Yang Guang sighed and said, "I think this kid has a good relationship with the Cui family." ”
Xiao Shi said resolutely: "The Cui family is over, completely finished, what's the use of letting Zhao'er keep her any longer." Take advantage of this opportunity to divorce the Cui family directly, and we can also find another powerful wife for Zhao'er. Have you heard, I heard that the prince and the Yun family have taken a fancy to Yubo of Princess Guangping's family, and they are asking King Changning to marry Yubo. ”
"Oh, and that, who did you listen to?" Yang Guang was surprised. Princess Guangping is his third sister, married into the Yuwen family, brother-in-law Yuwen Jingli family is also one of the core families of Guanlong, and his niece Yuwen Yubo is familiar to him, and he is very loved by the Son of Heaven and his wife. Last time, when the queen chose a concubine for King Zhao, she also had an intention of Yubo. Although Sumeru later chose Su Jun, the daughter of the second sister Princess Xiangguo, at the same time as giving Su Jun the title of Princess of Heyang County, he also gave Yuwen Yubo the title of Princess of Lintao County, and his eldest daughter was crowned Princess of Nanyang County. The crown prince and the Yun family fell in love with Yuwen Yubo, and obviously also fell in love with the strength of the Yuwen family, as well as the favor of the two princesses in front of the emperor and empress. If Yang Yan really married Yuwen Yubo, it would be another strong reinforcement for the prince.
"What do you think if we let Zhao'er divorce the Cui family, and then let Zhao'er ask to marry Yubo?" Xiao Meiniang asked.
Yang Guang groaned, shook his head and said, "It's too ugly to do this." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's ugly or not, it's the result that matters. Don't you see that Ling Yun didn't say a word and divorced the daughter of the Gao family, and then ordered the no ugliness of the princess of Xiangguo's family. Do we Zhao'er still have to guard that Cui clan? ”
After Yang Guang listened to his wife's words, he couldn't help but be a little shaken again. Of course, he knew the importance of the power of his wife's family, and when he married his son Yang Zhaoying, although it was the emperor's idea, they also agreed, not because the Cui family was very strong, and there was also a daughter who married King Qin. And he intended to strengthen relations with the King of Qin. Did you finally agree? The current Cui family has basically been uprooted, even if the emperor will not implicate his son. But if you don't take the opportunity to take a break from the Cui family, then the son will keep this Cui family in the future. But he lost the support of his wife, which was a great loss to his son and himself. According to what his wife said, simply take this opportunity to divorce the Cui family and find a powerful wife and wife for him, which is a good move for himself and his son.
"Okay, let Zhao'er take a break from Cui's first, and then you go to the second sister to test it and see what she means. If she wants to. Naturally, this could not be better. If not, let's find a comparable family marriage. ”
"Don't worry, leave this matter to the concubine, Zhao'er still needs to use more snacks here, let's also consider him too."
"Got it." Yang Guang responded to his wife.
Zhao Wangfu, front hall courtyard.
Yi Feng looked at the large group of women in the courtyard, and felt a little crying and laughing. He didn't know what Yang Jian and his wife thought, after the death of Princess Cui, the Qin Palace, could be regarded as overturned. Concubine Cui's sisters-in-law, Yang Hao and Princess Yongfeng, were both deposed as concubines, which can be regarded as a feature of the patriarchal era. The mother is more precious than the son, and the son is also more precious than the mother. It turned out that Yang Hao was born to the Cui family, so he was more noble than his half-brother Yang Zhan. But now Cui's first abolished and then died. Yang Hao's status fell from the sky between the clouds and mud, and he became a concubine.
The emperor and queen gave the Cui family to death, and abolished a pair of Cui family's children as concubines. Then there was also a big cleanup of Yang Jun's palace. Yang Jun's concubines, except for Yang Zhan's biological mother. The rest were all ordained as nuns. In addition, the maids and servants in Yang Jun's mansion were all cleared out. When Mr. and Mrs. Yang Jian left. In the huge Qin Palace, only Yang Jun and his son Yang Zhan and another concubine daughter remained, and the rest of the people were all cleared out, and the people in the palace had to be rearranged by the emperor and empress.
The Qin Palace's cleanup, but those people were all sent to Yi Feng's Zhao Palace, in addition to those maids, maids, mothers-in-law, grooms, coachmen, etc., even one of Yang Jun's concubines was also sent to Yi Feng. However, this concubine was sent here, not to reward Yi Feng, after all, she was once the concubine of King Qin, and this concubine was sent here because she was the princess of Nan Chen, the sister of Chen Wan, and the fifth daughter of Chen Shubao, the princess of Chen. After Chen was wiped out that year, the princesses of the Chen family were either included in the palace, or they were rewarded to those ministers and clans, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Yang Guang, Yang Jun and other Ping Chen meritorious generals were all given a princess. Princess Lechang, which Yang Su obtained, was later rescued and escaped by Xu Deyan, but Princess Lincheng stayed in the palace of King Qin. Now that the Qin Palace's mansion is being cleaned up, Princess Laicheng was also going to be sent to the monk's house, but Xuanhua's wife Chen Hui'er begged Yang Jian for a favor and sent her to the Zhao Palace. Of course, it was not for Yi Feng to be a concubine, but because Chen Wan was the sister of Princess Lincheng, and there was also a Princess Lechang in King Zhao's mansion, who was Princess Lincheng's aunt, and sent her here to reunite with them, and she would live in King Zhao's Mansion in the future.
Yi Feng couldn't understand why Yang Jian and his wife had such an arrangement, it was estimated that they had long been tired of Yang Jun's recruitment of beauties, so this time they simply took the opportunity to dismiss all Yang Jun's women.
After the hundreds of people from the Yang Mansion were sent to the Zhao Palace, except for Princess Lincheng, who was a little embarrassed, the others didn't matter. But the people from the Qin Wangfu had just arrived, and then the ladies of the Cui family were also sent to Yi Feng. The will said that the female dependents of the Cui family would be removed as slaves and rewarded to the family of meritorious heroes, but all of them were rewarded to Yi Feng's Zhao Wangfu. Yi Feng thought, maybe the emperor wanted to reward him for saving Yang Jun, but in the face of these little ladies who were still extremely noble one moment ago, and the next moment they became slave girls, Yi Feng was really in a complicated mood. Looking at these people, it really makes people feel that this era is so cruel, even sitting and implicating, one person is convicted, and often the whole family falls into the abyss.
After sighing with emotion, Yi Feng still signed with the officials who escorted the people over and accepted the group of people. Anyway, the Zhao Wangfu is big enough, and it has received the master and servant of the Yan Rong family before, and now it is nothing new to receive the descendants of the Qin Wangfu and the female dependents of the Cui family. Besides, he is about to leave Jingshi, so it would be good to leave these people here to watch their families and let them stay here.
I must work hard, otherwise the result of failure will be like in front of me, my own woman and my own child, and eventually become someone else's slave, Yi Feng said to himself.
Liu Wenjing stood behind Yi Feng, and when she saw the ladies of the Cui family standing all over the courtyard, she couldn't help but admire King Zhao more and more. Although he knew that the fall of the Cui family was not because of King Zhao, it was also because of King Zhao.
"The king, the will that has just come out of the palace, His Majesty has officially issued an edict, conferring the title of the king of Qin, the general of Shangzhuguo, Situ, and the right guard, and the envoy in charge of the military affairs of Jingzhou and other thirty-six states, the governor of Jingzhou, and also awarded a hussar marshal military rank."
"Oh." Yi Feng replied lightly, indicating that he knew. For Yang Jun to be able to take the position of governor of Jingzhou, he did not express the slightest surprise or surprise. In fact, isn't this qiē what he did for this result? When Yang Jun's poisoning broke out, Yang Jian was furious and punished Cui Clan, so he naturally felt a little guilty about Yang Jun, and it was inevitable to compensate him. What's more, the post of governor of Jingzhou has been vacant for too long, and now the governor of Yangzhou is the marshal of the Northern Expedition and wants to leave Yangzhou, although the king of Hejian is sent to take over temporarily, but because of this, the position of the governor of Jingzhou needs a trustworthy person more and more. Up and down the Manchu Dynasty, there was no one who was more trusted by the emperor than Yang Jun, the king of Qin. Yi Feng was not surprised at all that Yang Jun was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, but he was even more surprised that Yang Jian had given Yang Jun the rank of marshal of the hussars.
The Hussar Marshal is the loose rank system that Yi Feng reformed before, and it is the highest rank of the thirty-two rank of the four lieutenants, four colonels, four generals, and four marshals of the martial arts. Yang Jian publicly granted this new dismissal official to Yang Jun, which means that Yang Jian has decided to officially implement the new dismissal system. According to the new system of disbanding officials, all officials will first have a rank of disbanded officials, and then they will have ranks. Yang Jun is now the governor of Jingzhou, which is an official position that has no formal rank and only follows the second rank, but he also has a third public title of Situ, although the third public is a false title, but it is the official of the first rank, so according to the new system, Yang Jun's loose official is the first rank, and because his main position is the military commander of Jingzhou, so he has to be awarded the post of a hussar marshal of the first grade.
Yi Feng chuckled, the official implementation of the new system of scattered officials is very good news for himself who is about to return to Youzhou to serve as the general manager of Youzhou and the marshal of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition.
