In the eleventh year of Yongtai, June 19, the weather was fine.

After a night of fighting, the huge capital was as quiet as a ghost town.

Except for the soldiers of the Northern Army, who walked in orderly steps and patrolled along the streets, there was not a single civilian on the road.

All shop doors are closed.

What should I do if I don't have food at home and can't go out to buy it?

It can only be served cold!

Starve for three or five days, and you won't die of hunger anyway.

Behind the closed door, countless pairs of eyes peered through the crack in the door to understand the situation outside.

The people of Yizhuang are carrying the corpse.

One corpse after another, piled up on the ox cart, piled up into a mountain of corpses, slowly transported out of the city.

There were officials carrying buckets of water to wash away the blood stains on the streets.

Rinse several times, and the traces of the fight disappear in a blink of an eye.

It's as if last night's fight was just a nightmare.

Only near the imperial city, the mansions of the princes and kings, the traces of the fire show the tragedy of last night.

The beams of the house that were burned into charcoal rolled down with a clatter.

The beams, tables and chairs that have not burned out are still emitting green smoke.

A servant brought clean water and poured it on ......

Multiply!

Smoke rose into the sky.

In the middle of summer, corpses cannot be parked in the open to avoid causing a plague.

The embroidered guards, one by one, with scarves covering their faces, lifted the ruins, found the corpses pressed underneath, and piled them all up on the street, waiting for Yizhuang to be transported out of the city by ox cart and buried.

It's a chore.

"They're all dead!"

While rummaging through the corpse, he muttered quietly.

The embroidered guards are also full of resentment, and last night's turmoil has nothing to do with them.

As a result, they are all doing the aftermath.

The eight calves of the Northern Army only kill people, and don't care about burying them.

In such a hot weather, how can the corpse be exposed to the sun!

No, when the sky was light, he got up and searched everywhere for the body.

Looking at the once rich and luxurious palace, which burned to ashes overnight, people couldn't help but sigh.

"What if you are a royal noble, maybe you will become a ghost under the knife at some point."

"The dignified king of the county, once he died, hey......"

"It's noon, the morning dynasty hasn't ended yet, and I don't know what's going on in the palace. Do you think Your Majesty will ask Jin Wuwei to come into the palace to get people? ”

"Can't! Just after killing the clan and killing the courtiers, aren't you afraid that the world will rebel? ”

A few embroidered guards, muttering, the sound was very small.

As civil servants, they eat imperial food, and the news is always more accurate than that of ordinary people in the market.

It is estimated that most of the people in the market still can't figure out what happened last night, and they are all confused.

"Hey, this guy is still alive!"

Moved a beam, revealing the person pressed underneath, his eyes still moving, and sure enough, he was still alive.

The embroidered guard asked, "What should I do?" ”

They are here to dig up the dead, and the affairs of the living are not under the care of the embroidered clothes.

Embroidered clothes Wei Yi: "Just hand it over to the Northern Army." Whether it is life or death depends on his creation. ”

Several embroidered guards nodded in unison.

The soft-hearted embroidered Wei Bing said to the living person pressed under the beam, "Don't blame us!" We are also acting on orders, and we can't help it. ”

The living man opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice, "Don't hand me over to the Northern Army, give it to the Southern Army." ”

Several embroidered guards looked at each other, quite tacitly.

The embroidered guard replied: "Okay, I'll hand you over to the Southern Army." Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us. ”

The living man was dragged out, his leg was crushed, no wonder he couldn't get out.

There was a Southern Army nearby, and two embroidered guards carried him and handed him over to the Southern Army with their own hands.

When the living man arrived in the hands of the Southern Army, he saw a school captain, and said: "I want to see Gongziyi, I have something important to report." ”

"Who are you?"

"I am Gongziyi's person, I was ordered to run an errand, but my skills were not as good as others, I was injured, and I was mistaken for a palace guard."

"Wait! Childe went to the palace early in the morning and hasn't come back yet! ”

……

On the Jinluan Palace, the early dynasty has lasted for three hours, and there is no sign of its end.

The ministers are making an impassioned effort.

From the very beginning, he criticized the emperor for wantonly killing the prince of the clan without consultation.

Later, he began to advise the emperor to take the opportunity to take back the fiefdoms of the princes and kings in various places, pay taxes, and military power.

All the princes and kings were confined in the capital, and they were not allowed to leave the capital without a decree.

All the use of the degree of its own household and the government to bear.

The reclaiming of the fiefdom and the administration of officials sent by the imperial court meant that the imperial court could add many radish pits.

One radish and one pit, one more radish pit, one more person can be a scholar.

This is a great good thing for Wenchen!

Since it is a good thing, of course, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and persuade the emperor to nod.

The generals were silent.

Such a big event, the emperor hid it from everyone, and only the northern army and the southern army participated in this action to kill the princes and kings.

So next time, will the butcher's knife in the emperor's hand kill the world's generals?

What happened last night was truly appalling.

The dignified princes and kings, without going through the three law divisions, do not need to fabricate any charges, only need the emperor to think of a thought, and all of them will be beheaded.

The generals looked at the emperor who was sitting still in front of them, and sighed in their hearts, it was really a decision to kill.

This emperor is too dangerous.

The life of the prince of the clan is not guaranteed, and the life of the military general is like a pig and a sheep, which can be slaughtered at any time.

In silence, many generals exchanged glances.

We all share the same concerns and decisions.

The emperor is unkind, and Hugh blames everyone for being unjust.

The ministers are still making generous statements, spitting on the scriptures, citing scriptures, and stating the pros and cons......

Emperor Yongtai slowly closed his eyes, as if he was tired and wanted to sleep.

Sun Bangnian Sun Gonggong paid attention to the emperor's state at any time, and when he saw that the emperor closed his eyes, he dared to ask in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, it's past noon, do you want to end the morning court?"

The emperor let out a "hmm", a movement from his nasal cavity.

Sun Bangnian paused, and then said: "The corpses of several princes are still waiting for Your Majesty to make an idea, how to dispose of them." ”

The bodies of the princes should be sent back to the fiefdom for burial, or they should be buried in a cemetery in the imperial mausoleum.

In this matter, Queen Tao can't be the master, and the emperor has to make up his mind.

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the faces of each official.

What the officials are thinking, the emperor knows.

He stood up suddenly, and Wen Chen, who was making an impassioned speech, seemed to be choked by the neck, and his face was confused.

All the ministers stared at the emperor who suddenly stood up.

The emperor coughed lightly, "Regarding the matter of recovering the fiefdoms of the princes and kings, the Aiqing of the Political Affairs Hall has made a few plans, and we will discuss them another day." Retreat! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The emperor walked away, and the military generals bowed down to see him off.

As soon as the emperor left, the Jinluan Hall instantly turned into a vegetable market.

The officials talked a lot, and one person had one idea, and they couldn't talk about it at all.

The officials who participated in the early dynasty, in addition to the civil and military generals, also had a group of clan members.

They are also the most feared people.

The emperor killed the princes and kings, are they far from death?

Several clans gathered together and spoke quietly.

"Your Majesty is too vicious!"

"It's not just vicious, it's just madness, and it doesn't care about the feelings of the same clan at all."

"It's the Tao family who is killing our clan, and the Tao family deserves death."

"The Tao family is also acting on orders, without His Majesty's will, how can the Tao family have the courage to send the northern army to kill the princes and kings."

"The Tao family is the knife in the hands of His Majesty, the eagle dog."

"The Tao family must not be let go."

"Yes, we must not let go of the Tao family."

Coincidentally, the generals also have this idea, and they must not let go of the Tao family.

The situation was tense, and the clan did not dare to openly contact the generals, but it did not prevent them from communicating in private.

The two sides conspired on how to kill the Tao family.

Wenchen did not participate, and their eyes were fixed on the fiefs of the princes and kings, thinking about how to snatch these fiefs back to the imperial court, and which officials should be sent to govern.

In the final analysis, Wenchen and the clan, as well as the military generals, naturally do not deal with each other.

Wenchen longed for the emperor to kill all the princes and kings in the world, and from now on, the emperor only needed to rely on Wenchen to govern the world.

Any clan, military general, all of them are restless masters, and they should all be killed.

On the Jinluan Palace, the military generals of Wenchen shook their eyes at each other.

If the eyes can kill, there is no living mouth in the court, and they are all killed by the eyes.

……

The emperor came to Weiyang Palace.

Queen Tao is in a beautiful mood today.

However, considering the current situation, she did not dress up, but was plain, and the emperor was so happy.

He likes to dress up cleanly, refreshing and simple queens, as if returning to the simple boyhood.

At that time, the queen was so beautiful and delicate that people will never forget it for a lifetime.

The emperor took Empress Tao's hand and sat on the ground.

The palace maid served wine and food.

Empress Tao's heart was full of joy, "I knew that Your Majesty missed lunch, so I asked the imperial dining room to prepare a table of wine and food, all of which are Your Majesty's favorite dishes." ”

"The queen has a heart!"

The emperor ate the meal in silence, and Empress Tao retreated left and right to serve herself.

When the emperor was six minutes full, she put a bowl of soup in the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty drank the soup, and the imperial dining room simmered slowly, and the chicken soup that was stewed for five or six hours is the most nourishing for the body." ”

The emperor let out a "hmm" and drank the soup one bite at a time.

Empress Tao said softly: "By the end of the evening, the city should be cleaned up, and there will be no hidden dangers." ”

The emperor put down the soup bowl and glanced at Empress Tao, "The queen has a heart!" This time, thanks to the queen and the uncle. ”

Last night, the person who dispatched the northern army to kill the princes and kings was none other than Boss Tao.

The soldiers of the third battalion of the Northern Army who stayed in the capital had already taken refuge in the Tao family.

Boss Tao personally commanded the northern army, like an arm command, and took the lives of the princes and kings into his own hands, which was a wonderful feeling.

Empress Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "Sharing Your Majesty's worries is what the concubines and the Tao family should do." But there is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"What's the matter? The queen said it directly. ”

Empress Tao pondered and said: "Six princes and kings, but only the corpses of five princes were found. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed, "Who is missing?" ”

Empress Tao said: "The corpse of King Dongping is missing. Lord Tao has blocked the capital and searched the whole city. However, I think that King Dongping has left the capital. I heard that someone saw Xiao Yi last night with a person who looked like the king of Dongping to the south of the city. ”
