Chapter 409: Swearing to Suppress the Rebellion
The world is divided into eight kingdoms, the princes of the clan are: King Huainan, King Fengyang, King of Changsha, King of Linjiang, King Qingyuan, King Anton, King of Guangnan, King of Luzhou, this time in addition to King Anton, the other seven kings headed by King Huainan, raised 300,000 troops, known as 500,000, and rebelled. The rebels are huge, and there are many responders in the southern county government, and more are on the sidelines.
The Seven Kings rebelled, the world was shaken, and even the capital was panicked. The Imperial Cabinet and scholars held several meetings in succession to discuss countermeasures to quell the rebellion. In the face of the huge rebel army, whether to seek or appease, the two opinions were inconsistent, and Han Fei overrode the public opinion and vowed to exterminate the rebels.
More and more news about the rebels reached the capital, and the text of the rebellion of the Seven Kings led by King Huainan also reached the capital.
"Qingjun's side? This old-fashioned excuse again? Han Fei took the rebel inscription presented by the Jinyi Mansion, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "I can't imagine that one day I will become an excuse for King Fan to rebel!" ”
The excuse of the rebels of the king is the usual excuse used by the rebels of previous dynasties - on the side of the Qing monarch, the spearhead was directly aimed at the auxiliary ministers headed by Han Fei, and ten major crimes were detained, of which Han Fei was the most charged, such as tyranny, bullying the harem, mutilating Zhongliang and so on.
The so-called tyranny and brutality of the loyal and good is nothing more than the wanton killing of officials who colluded with the king after the mutiny. The winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, this is an eternal truth, the mutiny failed, bloody revenge, this is an inevitable thing, the government and the opposition on this matter is the same.
As for bullying the harem, it mainly refers to the fact that the Queen Mother of the East Palace suddenly disappeared from public view, and she did not see anyone alive or dead. The Empress Dowager of the East Palace participated in the failed mutiny, and it was inevitable that she would withdraw from the power stage, but after all, she was the empress of the first emperor and the mother of the little emperor, and she did not officially abolish the title, so she disappeared, and it was inevitable that some people would be suspicious. Now the rebels have put forward the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, which has also aroused the discussion of some people in the government and the opposition.
Since Han Fei moved the Empress Dowager of the East Palace to Xiyuan on the day of the mutiny, he has been busy with affairs, and at the same time, he has not visited her in consideration of avoiding suspicion. When the rebel mentioned her in the text, he couldn't help but think of her charming face and fair ketones......
"Father-in-law Huang, how is the Empress Dowager of the East Palace placed?"
Huang Ye was assisting Han Fei in sorting out the folds in the imperial study, and said urgently: "Grandpa, the old slaves are all placed according to your wishes, except that they are not allowed to go out at will, there is no shortage of all kinds of use!" ”
"Okay, you go with this seat to see the Empress Dowager of the East Palace!"
"The old slave leads the way for the loyal prince!"
The West Garden, as the name suggests, is a garden on the west side of the Imperial Palace, which houses many courtyard houses. The location of the West Garden is relatively remote, and it is generally used as a place for the royal concubines to retire, similar to the royal nunnery. However, those who live in the nunnery are basically concubines who have not given birth to children or have been degraded, and most of those who have children live in Xiyuan. Of course, if the son is crowned king, he can go to the fief with his son.
The Empress Dowager of the East Palace is different, she did not give birth to children, but she was the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, and living in Xiyuan was a situation of being degraded and retired. The power struggle in the palace is extremely cruel, and even if a person who loses power is in the position of the queen mother, he can only be abused and die. However, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace had a very good life, and although there were many restrictions on freedom of movement and she was not allowed to leave the West Garden, she could still walk around inside the West Garden.
But the concubines who live in Xiyuan all know the reason why the Empress Dowager of the East Palace moved here, and no one dares to have a close relationship with her.
Led by Huang Ye, Han Fei came to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager of the East Palace lived, and when he heard the sound of the piano with hidden resentment inside, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Throughout the ages, women have always been victims of power struggles, and the Empress Dowager of the East Palace has been taken advantage of, but in this circle, failure has to pay the price.
In fact, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace is lucky, if the mutiny is successful, the ending of the Empress Dowager Jia Yuanchun of the West Palace will be even more miserable, and she is likely to be in a different place.
"Zhongguo Gong......" The Empress Dowager of the East Palace shouted in surprise when she saw Han Fei enter the door at first glance.
"Ahem......" Han Fei said to Huang Ye who was following behind: "Huang Gonggong took all the people out, guarded the door, and did not allow anyone to come in, this seat has something important to discuss with the Queen Mother of the East Palace!" ”
When the Empress Dowager of the East Palace saw that everyone had gone out, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, threw herself into Han Fei's arms, and said resentfully: "Grandpa, you haven't come to see the mourning family for so long......"
Han Fei tightened his arms, hugged the Empress Dowager of the East Palace in his arms, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "What...... Can't stand the loneliness? ”
"What's the ...... The mourning family wants to ...... grandfather"
Han Fei smiled, bent down to pick up the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and said in her ear: "Today, I will compensate you for your ......."
The east wind brings rain, the spring is infinite, the Queen Mother of the East Palace is full of red tide, and she curls up in Han Fei's arms with a satisfied expression, and said coquettishly: "I don't know when the mourning family will be able to see the grandfather next time......
Han Fei pinched the round buttocks of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and snorted: "I just ate enough, and I am anxious to have the next meal?" ”
"Grandpa......"
"Okay, I'll try to come and see you as much as possible, and I need you to come here today......"
"No matter what happens, the mourning family will do what Grandpa wants!"
"Okay, as long as you are loyal to this seat, this seat will never treat you badly, and this seat will treat you as the same as the wife and concubine at home!"
"Really? The mourning family also wants to have a child...... The mourning family knows that there are many difficulties, but the mourning family really wants a child! ”
"After the rebels are pacified, I will find a way to fulfill your wishes!"
Han Fei returned to the imperial study first and summoned officials above the third rank into the palace to make the final mobilization of troops to quell the rebellion.
At this time, the eunuch on duty outside the door shouted: "The Empress Dowager of the East Palace has arrived!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Huang Ye led the Empress Dowager of the East Palace into the imperial study with the ministers full of suspicion.
"Weichen meets the Empress Dowager of the East Palace!"
"Excuse me!" The Empress Dowager of the East Palace glanced at Han Fei, who was kneeling in front, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said: "The mourning family is unwell, and has no intention of government affairs, I have asked Zhongguo Gong to convey this intention last time, but recently there have been a lot of discussions about this, and the mourning family is here to reiterate that in the future, the affairs of the court and government will be decided by Zhongguo Gong, and no one is allowed to suspect randomly!" ”
Han Fei used the chess piece of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, which was nothing more than a refutation of the rebels' writings, and then the people declared and published the last news of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, as well as what she said in front of a group of ministers, refuting the groundless suspicions of the rebels of the King of Fan. At the same time, in the name of the imperial court, he issued a document to conquest the rebels, announcing that he would deprive the rebellious kings of the princes, and designated the seven Fan kings who participated in the rebellion as rebels, and called on the world to kill them.
The day after the release of the article on the thief, Han Fei was crowned as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses by the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, commanding 200,000 Beijing battalions to fight against the rebels.
