Chapter Seventy-Four: The Bloodstained Prison
Yun Yuhong left Liu Dagongzi and Bai Ziyu to discuss things, and she walked into the prison with a clever ghost, and the matter of the Jinghui Hou Hu family was what she really had to face and solve.
Today's prison can be described as overcrowded, it should have been separated from men and women, and the main offender and felons were kept alone, but now the Liu family, the Hu family, and the ministers and family members who stand on Liu Xiang's side, that is nearly half of Moyun's courtiers, where are there so many positions, at most one master and one servant, and each family can only be divided into two or three cells, and each cell is full of people. The jailers thought that the emperor would not be strict in this matter, and these ministers would still go out to show off their might in the future, so they were very respectful to them, although they would not let them out, but they were very tolerant of what they wanted to do.
No, Liu Xiang, Marquis Jinghui, Hu Lewu, the Queen Mother, and six important ministers were able to be in a cell, and there were some wine and food on the ground, and several people sat around eating and discussing things.
Along the way, the eyes that looked at Yun Yuhong were mocking, disgusting, and hateful, but there was no prayer for awe. Yun Yuhong sneered, they all took her, no, they used her father as a soft persimmon pinch, and they were sure that they would be safe, but unfortunately they missed her again Yun Yuhong, and she really died without knowing it. And when she saw Liu Xiang and the others, Yun Yuhong laughed angrily. Seeing Yun Yuhong's cold smile, the clever ghost on the side took a step back, thought about it, and simply took three steps back.
Seeing Yun Yuhong, Liu Xiangleng snorted, but the Queen Mother jumped up and shouted at Yun Yuhong: "Let me out, I am the Queen Mother, your father treats me like this, it's a big rebellion, I'm going to ask him, where did his filial piety go?"
Yun Yuhong said lightly: "Do you remember that you are the Queen Mother, a member of the Yun family of the royal family of Moyun Country?" I thought you were just the daughter of the Liu family? You ask my father about filial piety, I also want to ask the queen mother what is called three from the four virtues, I heard that it says, 'marry from the husband, the husband dies from the son', the queen mother has ever heard of it? ”
After Yun Yuhong finished speaking, she seemed to remember something all of a sudden: "Oh, how could the Queen Mother not know, but the Queen Mother specially sent someone to teach me "Nu Rong"." After speaking, he smiled and looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was speechless, but she also said strongly: "I am the Queen Mother, your imperial grandmother, you can't be filial to me." ”
Yun Yuhong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, it shouldn't be locked up here." He turned to the clever ghost and said, "Don't invite the Queen Mother out yet." ”
The clever ghost replied, "Yes." Then he opened the prison door and asked the Queen Mother to come out, but the Queen Mother was a little afraid to move at this time. The clever ghost was not ambiguous, and directly stepped forward to pull the Queen Mother out, and the Queen Mother shouted in panic: "I am the Queen Mother, what do you want to do?" ”
Yun Yuhong raised her hand and pressed the Queen Mother's heart, looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes and said: "The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood because of Liu Xiang's conspiracy, and she asked the Imperial Doctor to take a good look." Alas, the Queen Mother is old, and she was hit by this and went before half a month, which really made us juniors very sad. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes widened in horror, and she raised her hand to Yun Yuhong, but a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and her eyes closed and fell into a coma. Liu Xiang also exclaimed, "Eldest princess, you dare to hurt the life of the Queen Mother?" ”
"The Queen Mother was angry with Liu Xiang to death." Yun Yuhong motioned to the clever ghost to help the Queen Mother out, but she walked into the cell.
Liu Xiang and the others were frightened by her momentum and took a step back, and suddenly realized that things might be different from what they thought, Liu Xianghu asked suspiciously: "Is this what the emperor meant?" ”
Yun Yuhong smiled, "Liu Xiang still knows my father, yes, these are my ideas." My father was frightened, and when he returned, he was not very well, so I asked for this errand. I said to my father, you can sleep in peace, I will handle all these things properly, right and wrong, which is more important, I can tell the difference. ”
"Hmph, do you dare to treat the Queen Mother like this and treat us like this?" Hu Lewu said angrily.
"Everyone will be punished for the rebellious ministers and thieves, what else should I do to you?" Yun Yuhong didn't look at Hu Lewu in his eyes, but still said to Liu Xiang.
Hu Lewu was dissatisfied with Yun Yuhong's neglect of him, and mocked: "What do you dare to do to us, don't forget that we still have an army of 100,000." ”
"Hmph, what about the 100,000 army, do you know the fate of the 50,000 Jinghui army you brought, let me tell you, there is no one left, all of them will be killed." Yun Yuhong looked at Hu Lewu and said coldly.
Everyone was shocked, 50,000 horses is not a small number, and the whole army was wiped out, this is not only to have enough strength, but also to be ruthless and successful, and the one who did all this was Yun Yuhong in front of her, a thirteen-year-old girl who was still underage. And the 100,000 Jinghui army they gave high hopes to really be able to suppress the emperor and really save them out?
"You're so young, you're really poisonous." Liu Xiang accused.
Yun Yuhong laughed angrily again, "I'm ruthless, isn't all this because of Liu Xiang?" If Liu Xiang is not opposed, they will not die. ”
Liu Xiang was actually a little aggrieved in his heart, he really didn't want to rebel, at the beginning, when Hu Lewu found him and planned to rebel, he sternly refused, but, who would have thought that the second young lady took advantage of his illness to steal into his study and steal his seal, which made Yuwen Zheng cooperate with the Jinghui army to enter the city and cooperate with the rebellion. And when he knew that he was already on the main hall, he had already ridden the tiger. Of course, it is impossible to say that he absolutely does not have this heart. Therefore, he can only be bitter in his heart, but he can't say anything.
Liu Xiang couldn't answer, and Marquis Jinghui interjected: "Actually, we have been loyal to the emperor for a hundred years, and we have always been loyal, as long as the emperor no longer blames this time, we will still do our best to be loyal to the saint." ”
Yun Yuhong shook her head and said: "This kind of loyalty, Hou Ye believes it, but I won't believe it anymore." In fact, I came this time to talk to Hou Ye, I have solved the matter of the Liu family, the fate of the Liu family has been decided, and the fate of the Hu family is still in the hands of Hou Ye. ”
"The fate of the Liu family has been decided? I don't know how the eldest princess decides, don't forget, the Liu family is not the only one of us. Liu Xiangdao.
Yun Yuhong looked at Liu Xiang with a look of pity and said, "Now the other Liu family members don't necessarily want to have anything to do with you Liu Xiang, at least they don't want to accompany Liu Xiang to die." ”
Liu Xiang was stunned, what does the eldest princess mean by this, he was abandoned by the Liu family? No, it can't be, it's not that far, there's no reason they'd do it. You must know that once they abandon him, the century-old foundation of the Liu family will be ruined, and this is the disaster of the Liu family.
Liu Xiang stared at Yun Yuhong, wanting her to speak in more detail, but Yun Yuhong didn't want to pay attention to him, but said to Jinghui Hou: "Master Hou might as well go out with me to talk." ”
Marquis Jinghui just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hu Lewu, "My father has already said that unless the emperor no longer pursues this matter, everyone can be safe, otherwise, just kill all of us, there is nothing to talk about." ”
Yun Yuhong looked at Jinghui Hou and said, "This is also what Hou Ye meant." ”
Marquis Jinghui did not speak, and acquiesced.
Yun Yuhong smiled: "It seems that Master Hou thought I was here to beg you, and my kindness was gnawed by a dog." Is it hard to kill someone? I, Yun Yuhong, have not been killed. Since you don't appreciate it, then I won't waste my efforts. ”
Yun Yuhong looked at the ministers beside Liu Xiang and said, "How many of you still want to live and die with Liu Xiang?" After all, this is a matter of your family's life. ”
Several ministers looked at each other a few times, only one person walked to Yun Yuhong's side with his head down, but the other five people held their heads high and snorted at Yun Yuhong.
Yun Yuhong smiled: "It's you who rebelled, why do you seem to be justified?" Rebellious ministers and thieves are their own, do I really dare not kill? ”
Walking out of this cell, Yun Yuhong shouted, "Come on!" The Clever Ghost walked in with a group of men in black.
"The five ministers rebelled and had no remorse, so they and their families were immediately killed." Yun Yuhong took out a token given by Qianzong and ordered.
After the men in black said "obey" in unison, they drew their knives and walked towards the prison where the ministers' families were kept. There was an immediate commotion in the cell, some were scared and cried, some screamed, and there was a mess, and the five ministers were really anxious when they saw Yun Yuhong coming, and shouted to stop, but Yun Yuhong turned a deaf ear and lowered his head and pondered.
The man in black started quickly, and after a while, the strong smell of blood wafted in the prison, making people feel sick, but no one dared to speak out, many people were so frightened that they covered their mouths, hid in the corner and shivered, and some of them fainted directly.
Yun Yuhong saw that there was no longer any living in these cells, and the blood on the ground gradually gathered. In her previous life, everyone said that she was cold-blooded and hard-hearted, but she never felt that in this bloody scene now, she really didn't seem to have sympathy, but she just felt that the sin should be like this.
He lightly looked at the five people who were crying uncontrollably after seeing the tragic death of their relatives, and ordered: "Cut off the heads of the five of them, hang them on the city gate, and announce them to the world, and those who follow the rebellion will be beheaded all over the door."
Soon, the five ministers were pulled out, leaving Liu Xiang and Jinghui Hou standing there with pale faces.
Yun Yuhong didn't pay attention to them, but looked around and said: "The rest of the adults still have to stand on Liu Xiang's side, I will give you a chance to choose once, those who have remorse will write a self-confession, and the whole family will be exiled to the border city after half a month, and those who want to follow the rebels will stand up, and they will be beheaded with Liu Xiang and others in ten days."
Time seemed to stand still, and people realized that they were not facing the weak and bullied, unassertive Qianzong, not the ministers who were afraid of the Liu family, they were facing the ruthless and hard-hearted Yun Yuhong, if Qianzong really handed over the matter to Yun Yuhong, then their fate can be imagined.
Soon, a weak voice came: "The minister is guilty, the minister confesses." And one soon had a second, a third... This time, no one was on Liu Xiang's side. Yun Yuhong nodded with satisfaction, and the clever ghost quickly sent paper and pen to the ministers who confessed their sins.
