673: Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and the dust has settled
Tao Buyan asked Princess Ye to poison her son Xiao Yunting with her own hands!
Anyway, the husband and son can only live one, and Princess Ye can choose by herself.
What a cruel choice!
Tiger poison does not eat children, Princess Ye has a gentle temperament, not to mention poisoning parents and children, even if she kills chickens and fish, she has never done it.
Tao Buyan doesn't care if he is cruel or not, he just wants to get rid of Xiao Yunting as soon as possible.
King Ye said to think about it.
Tao Buyan sneered: "The prince should think about it, the poison enters the heart and lungs, and it is too late for the prince to agree." ”
……
Yu Xian hurried to the northwest, and it was almost the day when Xiao Yunfei, the king of Lu, set off for the fiefdom.
Xiao Yunfei arranged all the details.
Meng Huaijin is strong in martial arts, and Xiao Yunfei not only ambushed people, but also arranged a fatal killer for Meng Huaijin.
Zhang Neijian, who is deeply trusted by Xiao Yunfei, undertook this important responsibility.
In order to reduce Meng Huaijin's vigilance, Xiao Yunfei arranged the assassination after he and Roujia set off for Shandong, and before they left the capital, it was the most suitable time before they left Tongzhou, such a distance could allow Xiao Yunfei to get the news in the most timely manner, quickly turn around and return to Beijing, and prevent the King of Xiang and the King of Shu who stayed in Beijing from seizing the opportunity.
As for the eldest princess, the emperor intended to let her go to Shandong with her, and before the decree was promulgated, the eldest princess could still be cheeky and stay in the capital.
Xiao Yunfei felt that everything was arranged properly.
But he didn't know that the emperor could not afford to lose Meng Huaijin now, and the manpower sent to protect Meng Huaijin was more than Xiao Yunfei and the eldest princess expected.
The emperor asked Xiao Yunfei to take Roujia to the fiefdom, originally to give these three people the last chance, and laid a net to see if Xiao Yunfei could jump or not.
Xiao Yunfei fell firmly at the bottom of the pit.
The crossbow was forbidden in the army, and it was shot from all directions, except for a top master like Zhang Neijian who could escape, most of the other people were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.
Zhang's arm was also injured, and the rickety old prisoner covered his injured arm, took one last look at the direction of the palace, and fled outside the city without looking back.
Luo Jun came out next door to the Meng family.
"Let His Highness be frightened, and clean up the thieves."
Luo Jun is an absolute loyal monarch, the emperor said that Meng Huaijin is "Xiao Huaijin", although Luo Jun doubts in his heart, he will still be respectful to Meng Huaijin on the surface.
The courtiers had long known that Jinyi Wei had no wind and bones, but Luo Jun was still spurned by others because he was so thick-skinned.
Meng Huai stood with his hands behind his back:
"Lord Luo, Meng doesn't want to be a big highness, he just wants to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, at least when Meng was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he has never encountered an ambush and assassination, if it is not for Lord Luo today, Meng's head is not guaranteed, and he can't stand here and talk to Lord Luo."
Luo Jun felt uncomfortable.
He didn't believe that it was not important that Meng Huaijin was His Royal Highness, the important thing was that the emperor had the idea of passing on the throne, in order for the clan and courtiers to accept Meng Huaijin's identity change, the emperor was sick and struggling to support him.
What others can't ask for, Meng Huaijin is still unwilling to ask for it!
But the more indifferent Meng Huai's attitude was, the more the emperor valued it.
gave Meng Huaijin vegetables every day, and also gave Meng Huaijin's adoptive mother, Mrs. Meng, a gift, and posthumously named the deceased Gu Hou as Gu Guogong.
Even if the emperor has done so much, Meng Huaijin is still dissatisfied, let the emperor hear this, didn't he force the emperor to dispose of the eldest princess?
That's right, without interrogation, Luo Jun knew that the person who did it was Xiao Yunfei, the king of Lu - this was an assassination that was destined not to succeed, and before Xiao Yunfei, the king of Lu, did not make a move, he was exposed by his biological mother, Concubine Xian.
Luo Jun has been a brocade guard for so many years, and he can't figure out what Concubine Xian is thinking, and he has never seen such a biological mother who killed her own son.
It was King Lu's hand, and behind King Lu, there must be the eldest princess standing!
"The humble will tell the emperor the words of His Royal Highness word for word."
Luo Jun only said this.
When the emperor learned that Meng Huaijin had really been assassinated, he first asked Meng Huaijin if he was injured, and then sighed:
"Fuzhen disappointed me, I remember that she listened to me when she was young, and now she has learned to disobey me."
first slapped Concubine Xian, and then assassinated the emperor's preferred heir.
Although she is the sister of her relatives, what the eldest princess did still violated the emperor's bottom line.
The emperor ordered Fuzhen to go to the temple to lead the practice and pray for the blessing of the deceased queen mother.
"Let Fuzhen do his filial piety for me, and if there is no purpose, you must not leave the temple."
The emperor's hand really shocked the ministers and the clan.
I heard that the eldest princess of Fuzhen couldn't believe it when she received the will, and she wanted to see the emperor, but the people in the palace tied up the eldest princess and stuffed it into the carriage, and did not let the eldest princess have any chance to resist, and did not even allow the eldest princess to bring any dresses and jewelry, and all the subordinates and guards of the eldest princess's mansion did not let the eldest princess bring it.
There is no brocade clothes and jade food, and there is no powerful eldest princess, what kind of golden branches and jade leaves are it?
Not to mention, as soon as the eldest princess's front foot was taken away, the people of the Jinyi guard on the back foot captured all the people in the eldest princess's mansion, from the long history of the princess's mansion to the rough subordinates, and did not let any of them go.
The plaques of the Eldest Princess's Mansion were all removed.
This is not the title of the eldest princess on the surface, in fact, the eldest princess Fuzhen is no longer worthy of the name!
The emperor has favored his sister for more than 20 years, and he will fall when he says it.
Why?
Because Meng Huaijin was assassinated in Beijing.
Between the son and the sister, the emperor chose the son.
Unless the courtiers and the clan bite to death and disobey the decree, Meng Huaijin's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion.
With the emperor's hand, the courtiers knew that the general situation was unstoppable, and finally showed signs of relenting.
As for the clan, Fuzhen's fate is the emperor's warning to the clan.
As long as the emperor wants to check, he can cut a few more princes!
Gao Shoufu called his grandson-in-law Cheng Qi as soon as possible:
"You used to be a classmate with His Highness, what is His Highness's temperament?"
Gao Shoufu already had plans to get along with the future Xinjun, Cheng Jue shook his head, "What your son-in-law knows, what you know, and Meng ...... and His Royal Highness, the best is Cheng Qing. ”
When I was in Nanyi Academy, everyone was a little afraid of Senior Brother Meng, and Senior Brother Meng would not get too close to everyone.
Only Cheng Qing dared to approach Senior Brother Meng, and Senior Brother Meng also treated Cheng Qing very differently.
Gao Shoufu touched his beard and nodded slowly:
"Then Cheng Qing won't be able to stay in the northwest for too long."
Gao Shoufu's judgment, Cheng Jue will not question it.
In fact, the courtiers were against it, and Cheng Jue has always been in favor of it.
After all, compared with several other princes, Senior Brother Meng is really "fair", and he really doesn't need to be smart to be an emperor, he can be a bowl of water, and he is already a rare Ming monarch in a century.
When today's son does what he wants and does not restrain himself, the courtiers below will be very miserable.
……
The carriage took away the disheveled and embarrassed eldest princess Fuzhen, and the two cloth-clothed people on the side of the road watched it with relish.
When the carriage had passed, the older man exclaimed:
"Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, now Meng Huai wants to be the prince, and no one can stop him."
The other was worried, "Sir, what about us......"
The elder looked at the palace, "Let's go to the northwest to welcome the young master!" ”
