Chapter 658: Failed to Seize the Throne (1)
On the third day of the first month of June, the capital was still under martial law.
Two days ago, the crown prince and the princes rebelled, and the bloody sound of the bloody soldiers who tried to kill the king and seize the throne seemed to be faintly close in front of them, and there was no trace of anyone on the noisy streets of the past.
Waiting for the end of the matter.
The matter is not over.
And the hearts of the people will not be settled for a day.
Everyone is waiting.
are all waiting for news from the palace.
Waiting for the son of heaven to speak.
At this time, in the Zichen Hall of the Great Qi Palace.
The ministers were silent.
They don't talk anymore, they don't dare to move, and they usually breathe a lot more carefully, for fear that the breathing will be loud and touch the emperor's anger.
"Oh, what a good son of mine.
I haven't reached the age of seventy or eighty years when I can't move in bed, and one by one I think about sitting on my dragon chair, thinking about killing the king and killing my father, and thinking about my brothers.
And you, too...... Child!
If I don't die, you will always be a prince, what I give you is yours, you can't rob it, and now, I don't want to give it to you anymore.
Come on, the purpose!
The crown prince committed rebellion, was demoted to a commoner, confined the palace, and deprived the crown princess and the prince's heirs.
The queen had no way to teach her son, so she took the Chengen Mansion to participate in the prince's rebellion, abolished the queen's throne, entered the cold palace, and Chengen Gong raided the family and exterminated the family, and was pardoned or not.
The three princes also committed rebellion, read their deaths, and bury them with the county king's ceremony, the mother of the three princes has no way to teach their sons, and they enter the cold palace with the queen.
The eldest prince fornicated with the leader of the forbidden army, tried in vain to kill the king, rebelled, was demoted to a commoner, and was confined to the royal palace, and his heirs also became commoners......"
The three princes died after all, as the saying goes, people die like lights go out, and the dead are always more cherished than the living, even if there is a mistake, they can also use people to prevaricate when they are dead, so even if Emperor Kangwei is furious at this time, he still shows mercy to the three princes' subordinates and has not been severely punished.
It's just that how many of them are because of the love between father and son, and how many are because of the fear of the three princes, the mother and concubine, and the military power of the Yasukuni Mansion of Concubine Huigui's mother's family.
That's hard to say.
However, in any case, compared with the other princes' relatives and concubines who participated in the palace rebellion in the first two days, the third prince's mother concubine Hui Guifei and her uncle's Yasukuni Mansion did suffer the least losses, but the prince of their family died.
Who knows which is better or worse?
The Convité above was furious.
None of the ministers present below dared to come forward to speak, let alone intercede, because they knew very well that it would be their turn after the emperor finished punishing those princes, and now they might even be unable to protect themselves, and how could they be in the mood to intercede with those princes and concubines.
They had to keep their voices open and ask the emperor to spare their lives.
Words like death for all of you.
Sure enough.
Emperor Kangwei sent a fire and made a few decrees, and then began to target these ministers in the court, because in his opinion, even if his son was wrong, the mistake was limited.
The reason why they made a mess must be because these ministers stood in line and provoked something, and they wanted to get something from the dragon, which would make their sons make such a big rebellious mistake.
Therefore how can you not be angry with them?
The ministers who were really directly involved in the rebellion had already been liquidated two days ago, and now the remaining ministers either knew about it and did not report it, or they did not know it, or they only gave some other support and did not directly participate in the ministers, and it was these ministers who did not report and supported them in the name of Kangwei Emperor.
As his will was issued, these ministers in the court were quickly dragged down by the Black Ice Guard one by one, and those who struggled badly, or kept shouting injustice, were directly hacked to death on the spot.
After a while, the ministers of the court and the central government were reduced by nearly one-tenth, not because the remaining ministers did not know or participated in it, but because Emperor Kangwei knew that if he continued to kill, no one would do anything.
So we had to stop and punish the remaining ministers with demotes or pay fines.
In the end, Emperor Kangwei made another decree before leaving, that is, to let the chief of Ouchi send a decree to call back the five princes who were playing outside.
No way.
From the eldest prince to the sixth prince, except for the five princes who were not in the capital, the remaining five princes all participated in the rebellion, of which the three princes died, the crown prince was abolished, the eldest prince was indecent, the fourth prince broke his arm, and the sixth prince was blind in one eye.
All the ministers know that the emperor is now calling the five princes back, and it is estimated that he wants to make the five princes the crown princes, because the royal family currently has a total of six princes, and the other five princes are all abolished.
It can be said that as long as the next five princes do not die by themselves and are safe and stable, then the future throne of Great Qi will definitely be his, proper.
It's really pie in the sky.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.
……
Not to mention how the court is, what about the people.
On the edge of the cool mezzanine road in the east of the palace, the original Jinghan Palace is now used to calling the cold palace, which is a place used to detain some errant concubines in the previous dynasty.
As soon as Qiao Mu woke up, he felt a little pain in his head, and at the same time, his ears were buzzing, and the sound of women crying was everywhere, which was very annoying.
At this moment, even if Qiao Mu hadn't opened her eyes yet, she knew that it was not a good time to receive memories, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing a little with the guidance technique, and after feeling better, she secretly opened her eyes and observed the surroundings, wanting to understand the situation first.
"No, we don't want to be locked up here."
"Let me out, let me out, I'm Concubine De, damn slut, let me out!"
"Mother, mother, calm down!"
"Queen, what should we do?"
"Hahahaha, finally someone came to accompany me, Concubine De, you poisonous woman, you didn't think you would come in one day, I'm going to strangle you!"
"Amitabha, do evil!"
"Heh, Wenkang, don't you think I'm not ruthless enough, if I had poisoned him directly, maybe my son would have succeeded."
"Mother, you can't talk nonsense.
Beware of partition walls with ears. ”
"Haha, I heard it, I heard it.
Come on, come on, someone, someone here is going to murder the emperor, I'm making a meritorious service, I'm going out, let me out, I'm ...... rescue"
