An old man, who claimed to be Huang Shilang's domestic servant, sounded the Dengwen drum early in the morning to sue the emperor.

He didn't sue Jinyiwei to arrest Huang Shilang, but the current emperor, killed his father and brother, murdered the first prince Manmen, killed the first emperor, and stole the throne for more than 20 years.

The complaint in the hand of Yin Liang Qinian of Shuntian Mansion instantly weighed thousands of pounds.

The words he said were like water spilled out, and it was difficult to collect them, and the old servant was bent on death, and no one could make him change his confession.

The current emperor killed the first prince and killed the first emperor, so now there is retribution.

What kind of retribution?

The people in the capital didn't know about the emperor's coma, and most of them didn't know that the iron cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty had broken through the defense line in the northwest, and they could adjust a small direction to come to the capital at any time.

What the common people can feel is nothing more than that the capital has been under martial law in the past few days, and the number of checks to be accepted when entering and leaving the city gate has become more and longer.

The only one who really knows the inside story is the official eunuch's house.

Of course, after all, the emperor was in a coma in front of the city's civil and military forces, and now he hasn't woken up for several days, no matter how secret he is, this news has been spreading in a small area-

Therefore, Huang Shilang's servants beat the drum, sued the emperor, and shouted before hitting his head to death, like "retribution" or something, the onlookers did not contact the emperor about the fact that he was in a coma and seriously ill, and everyone thought more about the unevenness of the Great Wei in recent years.

Droughts, floods, and locust plagues, it really took turns to wreak havoc.

In addition to natural disasters, there are man-made disasters, bandits here, where there is rebellion, and there is no real peace in the world all year round.

The older generation still remembers the days when the first emperor was in power, when the ordinary people lived better, the taxes were not so heavy, and they didn't know what the boundaries outside of Zhili were, but the Zhili area was basically smooth.

In the feudal imperial system, the right to read and write is in the hands of a small number of people, and if you don't read or read, you won't be enlightened.

If you are not ignorant, the common people will not be able to manage it.

If they are not ignorant, how can they obediently pay taxes and use the wealth of a country to support the ruler?

The emperor claimed to be the "Son of Heaven", and the common people believed it.

Now some people are beating the drum and saying that the emperor's throne is not right, thinking of the bad luck of the Great Wei in recent years, the common people have to think about it!

Therefore, these are all the "retribution" of today's son, is it when today's son is not worthy of being in power, will God lower these punishments?

I don't know who is behind the scenes, although Yin Liang Qinian of Shuntian Mansion immediately let people control the onlookers outside the yamen after the old servant hit the pillar and died, and the words of the old servant of Zhou Shilang's family before his death quickly spread throughout the capital.

The more the government tried to suppress public opinion, the more the people of the capital believed in it.

Ordinary people can't say it on the street, they can't say it in teahouses and wine shops, can't they still close the door and say it secretly?

This time, Cheng Qing heard about it for the first time.

It was also the first time she had noticed something from more than 20 years ago. Cheng Qing has entered the Hanlin Academy, but he has not been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and he has not participated much in the revision of books and compiling history, so he has little understanding of this unresolved "palace change".

But Meng Huaijin is different, Meng Huaijin has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and once told Cheng Qing the secrets of the Xiao royal family, Cheng Qing felt that Meng Huaijin should know.

However, in just two days, Cheng Qing asked people to inquire about the news outside, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had caught a lot of people who had set up private road sacrifices, and these people were actually burning paper for the first prince-

Waiting for Meng Huaijin to send Cheng Qing a trained little red fox in the evening, Cheng Qing couldn't help but ask Meng Huaijin.

Meng Huaijin said that a few days would be the death anniversary of the first prince.

The little red fox is very docile in Meng Huaijin's arms, and he has lost his wildness more than a month ago.

How Meng Huaijin trained, Cheng Qing didn't know, she could only see the little red fox nesting in Xiao Yunting's arms, Xiao Yunting touched the back of the little red fox's neck with his hand from time to time, and the fox was like a cat, which made Cheng Qing very envious.

The little red fox was raised by Senior Brother Meng for more than a month, and his fur was beautiful in color, like a red satin.

Well, the senior brother's hand is also very good.

If such a big thing hadn't happened, Cheng Qing would have been willing to enjoy the picture of the beautiful fox and the beautiful brother shining together for a while, but the matter of Huang Shilang's servants beating the drum, the follow-up influence and secret promoters have already revealed the tip of the iceberg, and Cheng Qing has to focus on business:

"In the sixth year of Tianxian, it was the year when the first emperor died, and now more than 20 years have passed, and the people still spontaneously commemorate the death of the first prince, I think someone is fueling the troubles. may have seen Huang Shilang being arrested by Jinyiwei, so he wanted to make trouble in the name of Huang Shilang. ”

Meng Huaijin looked down at the little red fox, "Xiaolang, the matter is not as absolute as you said, the people who were captured by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for the private road sacrifice may have been deliberately arranged by someone, or maybe they really wanted to pay tribute to the first prince." The people of Zhili have had a hard time in the past few years, and they have not been forced to the point of rebellion, but if you want to say that they do not miss the smooth weather during the reign of the first emperor, it must be false. ”

The act of paying tribute to the former prince was indeed influenced by the fact that Huang Shilang's servants beat the drum, and it was also a kind of catharsis for the people of Zhili in their depression.

Meng Huai was dissatisfied with the current emperor, but he evaluated from a fair standpoint, and in the first ten years of Jinshang's succession, Jinshang still worked hard to govern and tried to be a Ming monarch.

After the palace mutiny, the emperor was under great pressure and faced doubts from the government and the opposition, so that the emperor had to reuse the brocade guards to create an atmosphere of terror and fight with the courtiers to ensure that the decrees he issued could be truly implemented.

In the first ten years of his accession to the throne, the emperor showed a strong and iron-blooded political skill, suppressing the disobedient forces of the government and the opposition.

As for how he ran more and more deviated later, he changed from a hard-working Mingjun character to an obsessed with playing with power...... Meng Huaijin couldn't understand the mental journey of the current emperor.

Meng Huaijin felt that without that palace change, the first prince would not have done better than today's son if he successfully ascended the throne.

However, others don't think so, the living can never compare to the dead, especially when the living make mistakes, the image of the former prince will be beautified.

Meng Huaijin analyzed this, and Cheng Qing was also stunned.

The palace change more than 20 years ago, Cheng Qing was not born at that time, and it was too far away from her. According to Meng Huaijin's statement, in the sixth year of Tianxian, the first prince set a fire in the East Palace, and no one survived the fire, and the first prince naturally had no descendants left.

The pearls of the sea that have fallen among the people are not counted, and those who have not been on the royal jade plate do not need to recognize their identity.

Then Huang Shilang's domestic servant, or even Huang Shilang himself, why did he choose to attack now?

Taking advantage of the emperor's coma, asking for the emperor's life must be one of the reasons.

But what should the emperor do in the follow-up when he labels him as "killing his father and killing his brother"?

- Huang Shilang rushed to the front to fight, if this struggle is won, who will receive the fruits of victory!
