The moment the holy decree arrived at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the news had already spread.

It's like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, and the whole capital explodes.

That's the Marquis of Yong'an! It's the queen's maiden home! It is the foreign family of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The most prominent relatives in the next ten years or even decades!

How did you end up like this all of a sudden?

The Son of Heaven quietly executed Yong'an Hou, and raided Yong'an Hou's home, so that the Pei family was exiled to Lingnan. Moreover, there was no room for the Pei family to move around and plead, and before dark within a day, everyone in the Pei family had to leave Beijing.

Hundreds of Imperial Forest troops surrounded the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and hundreds of soldiers went to the Pei clan's side branches. All of a sudden, there seemed to be cries in the sky all over the capital.

Wei Guogong Yasukuni is fair, Xihou Zhenyuan, Marquis Jin Ninghou, and entered the palace together to see the Son of Heaven.

Yong'an Hou made a big mistake, and Emperor Xuanhe could certainly kill him. However, it is always necessary to go through the criminal department's examination and conviction before it is in accordance with the usual rules. Emperor Xuanhe killed the Marquis of Yong'an without saying a word and condemned the Pei family. As soon as such a precedent is opened, the civil ministers and military generals will have to hang their hearts at all times in the future.

As princes and nobles, and as important ministers of the Great Chu humerus, they should come forward at such times.

Several scholars also entered the palace together to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Xuanhe didn't see anything, but made a decree that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go down to see these important ministers.

As soon as the six princes returned to the palace, they were sent by Emperor Xuanhe to deal with the doubts of the ministers.

Zhao Gonggong said respectfully: "Several Shangshu and Wei Guogong and other ministers entered the palace to ask to see, the emperor is not in good health, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see the ministers and appease them a little." ”

The six princes surrendered.

After Zhao Gonggong passed the message, he left quickly.

The sixth prince looked at the figure of Gonggong Zhao and sighed silently.

Emperor Xuanhe deliberately threw the problem to him.

He, the crown prince, is no longer as smooth as before. It is necessary to keep a cool head in adversity and predicament, to figure out the mind of the emperor, and to suppress the disgruntled ministers......

The six princes silently recited several times in their hearts, "The heavenly generals will be in charge of the people", took a deep breath, and went to the main hall of the Baohe Palace.

……

In the main hall, several civil and military generals have been waiting for a long time.

No matter how dissatisfied the ministers were, they didn't dare to lose their manners, and they met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together. Wei Guogong was the first to open his mouth: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has something unclear, please show it to His Highness." ”

"What mistake did the Marquis of Yong'an make, and why did the emperor put him to death without making a sound? also raided the Pei family's home and made the Pei family exiled to Lingnan? ”

Jingguo Gong frowned, and quickly took over the conversation: "According to the rules of the DPRK and China, Yong'an Hou made a big mistake, and he should be convicted by the Criminal Department, which is in line with the rules." The emperor set a precedent of privately giving death to his courtiers today, and the old ministers thought it was very inappropriate. ”

It was Pingxi Hou, who had always been at odds with Yong'an Hou, and he was also solemn at this time: "That's right." Please make it clear to Your Highness, what mistake did Yong'an Hou make? ”

The officials and others also opened their mouths one by one. Although the words are quite gentle, however, a pair of shuang~ aggressive eyes are full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

Since the six princes became the crown prince, they have the favoritism and support of Emperor Xuanhe, and the journey has been smooth, so it is the first time to face the questions and doubts of the ministers.

Adversity makes people grow quickly. The six princes, who were hit hard one after another, matured a lot in just a few days. At this time, he faced the ministers alone, and there was no panic on his face: "All of you Aiqing are important ministers of the imperial court, and you are here for the Marquis of Yong'an today, and I want to give you an explanation." ”

"Yong'an Hou privately offered poison to the second prince, and the second prince instigated Princess Shouning to poison the dim sum. Father, queen and queen were poisoned. ”

The moment these words came out of the mouth of the six princes, the faces of the ministers who had been speculating in private for many days changed.

They didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak out about it.

The sixth prince didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued in a deep voice: "The matter involves the imperial sister and the second imperial brother, the father is heartbroken, and the queen mother is also heartbroken. ”

"For the sake of the face of the heavenly family, this matter must be covered up. Therefore, the father blamed all this on Yong'an Hou, and in a fit of anger, he killed Yong'an Hou. ”

"If Yong'an Hou is handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, this matter will definitely spread and everyone will know about it. At that time, the face of the heavenly family will be gone. It is also necessary to make a note in the history books. In order to maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Family, this matter must be dealt with quickly. That's why you see the 'Son of Heaven acting arbitrarily'. ”

Today, Lone will tell the truth. I hope that all Aiqing can understand his father and the emperor, and also understand the distress of Lonely. You can rest assured that this is only one time and will never become a common practice. ”

"As long as all the ministers are loyal and patriotic, they will be loyal to Dachu. There will never be a day when it will be 'disposed of privately'. ”

After a short silence, the ministers spoke one after another.

"The Marquis of Yong'an deserves to die, and the emperor has disposed of him like this, which is really cheap for him."

"did not destroy the Pei family, but only ordered the Pei family to be exiled, which is really the emperor's grace."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told his ministers about this secret, which shows his trust and love for his ministers. The ministers and others are inscribed, and they will never dare to live up to the trust and love of His Royal Highness. When he left the palace gate, this matter was rotten in the hearts of the ministers. The minister will never reveal half a word to anyone. ”

"The minister also swore to the heavens that if this secret was revealed, the ministers would be thundered by the heavens, and they would not die well."

The ministers were impassioned, each showing their loyalty, and there was no dissatisfaction and doubt from the moment before.

The Marquis of Yong'an has the intention of killing the king, and he instigated the father and son of the heavenly family to turn against him, and he deserved to be cut with a thousand knives.

As for them, they are all loyal ministers who love the king, and the Marquis of Yong'an is by no means a person.

The six princes took in the changes in everyone's expressions, and suddenly had a profound understanding of what Emperor Xuanhe had said.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they all have their own selfishness. As an emperor, you must have the art of checks and balances, and you must have a cold heart.

The supreme imperial power cannot be questioned by any courtier.

……

Half an hour later, the ministers withdrew.

The six princes went to see Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe's heart was surging yesterday, and he fainted again. Today's face is gloomy, weak, and weak when he speaks: "Little Liu, can things be done?" ”

The sixth prince replied in a low voice: "Father, rest assured, the sons have sent all the courtiers away." ”

Emperor Xuanhe didn't ask the six princes what means they used, but only said lightly: "That's fine." ”

Close your eyes quickly.

A trace of bitterness passed through the heart of the sixth prince, and he said softly: "Father, rest in peace!" The sons went to review and deal with political affairs. He bowed and bowed respectfully.

After the six princes left, Emperor Xuanhe opened his eyes and called an attendant: "Tell me what the prince and the courtiers said just now." ”
