Chapter 154: The Death of the Prince
Regarding the punishment of the second high, the ministers of the court meeting have played one after another, and they want to execute the second high and his son.
Ji'er is very angry, and the reason why Ji'er is angry is that Emperor Fu Kang can forgive Ergao, and his father Dagao can forgive Ergao, so why can't he forgive? How could he kill him?
Ji'er said that although these two highs have repeatedly tried to usurp the throne, Emperor Fu Kang and his father have not killed him, and he will not kill him!
However, the emperor said that he couldn't put Ergao back anymore and gave him a fief. If he puts it back, he will have to rebel, and someone will have to follow him and be killed.
Let's just say that on the first night, the soldiers in the city secretly drank wine, but they drank their lives, and the soldiers in the city ran away, and they didn't wake up until the next day, and when they woke up, it was too late to run, and the city gate was ordered by the second high school to be closed.
When this comes out again, it will not be regarded as a repentant surrender, but forced to surrender, and then you will have to be killed.
Besides, if you don't kill some people in rehabilitation, it won't have a deterrent effect, then won't anyone who wants to rebel want to rebel in the future? Where is the royal authority?!
It's not that the emperor didn't give them a chance, it's that they didn't grasp the opportunity they gave them, and fate is a thing······ Do not say!
So, Ji'er said, in order to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, he handed over the second high to the eunuch of the investigation team to arrange the imprisonment.
Ji'er said, you have to be kind to the second high, you can't fight, you have to be locked up alone, you can't be locked up with ordinary people, is he a prince, even if you go to prison, you have to enjoy respectful treatment!
So, in accordance with the emperor's will, the eunuch imprisoned the second high.
A few months later, the emperor asked the eunuch, did the two high men commit suicide?
The eunuch said no.
The eunuch saw that Ki'er's face was not good-looking.
So, after the eunuch went back, he first asked people to send a steamed bun to Ergao every day to eat, and after a few days, he only sent half a steamed bun to Ergao every day.
Ergao only eats half a steamed bun a day, and he even picks up the steamed bun crumbs that fell on the ground and eats them, so more than half a month has passed, and on this day, Sangao came to see his brother, which was approved by the emperor.
Ergao said weakly to his younger brother Sangao that he was hungry.
So Sangao immediately sent people to go outside, and brought a whole roast chicken and duck, braised pork and rice cakes that Ergao likes to eat, and a jar of wine.
Er Gao saw that the table was full of good food and wine, and his eyes were straight.
So he didn't even use chopsticks, he just grabbed and ate with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, stuffed it for a while, he stiffened his neck, smelled the aroma of the wine, and picked up the wine jar and drank it gurgling.
Count how much he ate this meal, a whole chicken, a whole duck, a plate of braised pork, and other dishes, I won't talk about it, anyway, I drank all the wine in a jar.
The second high-ranking appearance of eating and drinking is really ugly, and the third-high are stunned.
He didn't expect that this brother who had been a prince on the galloping field would be this kind of eater, which was too hurtful.
Ergao ate and drank too violently, mainly because a jar of wine went down, and his legs were shaking.
Ergao drank too much, he touched the belly of a pregnant woman like giving birth, and lay directly on the ground, Sangao wanted to talk to him again, he couldn't speak, he fell asleep.
So Sangao had no choice but to go out, he went into the palace to see Ji'er, shook his head and said: The second brother really deserves it, but he has a good life, why rebel?
Then, Sangao began to cry poor again!
Sangao is really poor this time, he doesn't have many fiefs, he doesn't have much income, and there are so many concubines in the house, and there must be many subordinates if there are so many concubines!
Let's say that Sangao is salivating, and suddenly I saw a rumor outside, saying that the eunuch asked to see the emperor and had something important to report!
Kiel immediately asked him to come and see him.
When the eunuch saw that Sangao was also here, he was a little stumbling when he spoke, and Ji'er said: "What's the matter, you just say it directly, why are you spitting out?" ”
"Second prince, he seems to have died!"
"My brother is gone?!" Sangao was surprised, "How could my brother not have it?" He was fine at noon, how could he not? Could someone have hurt him? Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated! ”
"How could he be gone? Didn't hear he was sick? And Ki'er asked the eunuch.
"Wechen doesn't know too much!" The eunuch looked at the three highs and said.
"Come on, pass on the ······ doctor"
The emperor is really angry!
Really angry?
Ji'er is angry with the three highs!
They asked the relevant personnel and used silver needles to try the leftover vegetables and wine jars on the plates that had not yet been removed, but they were not poisonous.
So as soon as several people were combined, they went back and forth to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, the cause of the second prince's death has been investigated, and no one poisoned him, according to the lower officials' inquiries, the second prince died because of excessive alcohol and food!"
"Rising to death?!" Ki'er was shocked, and then Ki'er pointed at the eunuch of the investigation team and yelled, "Why did you let him eat so much?" What did you give him to eat? What are you guilty of? ”
The eunuch puffed and knelt down, but the eunuch had not yet spoken, and the three highs also knelt down with the puff, and the three highs said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty······
Then, Sangao cried and cried.
"Huh? Uncle Sanhuang, how do you say this? ”
(Some people can't help but ask, how can anyone call the second prince and the third prince like that?) Written like this, it's easier to recognize, just like Ji'er, you can't say that he is Emperor Xuande, right? Let's call him Kier. )
"Back to the emperor, the minister was visiting his brother, he said he was hungry, the minister was kind, and sent someone to buy him good wine and food, but I didn't expect that he would die of swelling after eating too much." When Sangao said this, he kowtowed busily and said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean it, the minister couldn't kill his brother, the minister and his brother are both compatriots, how could the minister kill his brother?" There is no such gift in the world, and the minister begs the emperor for forgiveness! ”
"Alas, Uncle Sanhuang, just you were watching there, so why didn't you stop him? What are you doing with him eating so much, I still think about it, wait for the New Year, let his family live on your fiefdom, and send you to watch him, this ······"
When Ergao heard Ji'er say this, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and only blamed himself for being negligent.
Ji'er said: "That's it, Uncle Huang, you can get up, alas, what can I do about this?" I'm afraid that in the future, the brothers of the second emperor uncle will remember your grudge. That's it, since this matter is because of you, you can make the decision to bury the second emperor's uncle! I'm thinking about how to appease my cousins! ”
When the emperor heard this, Sangao knelt there and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't blame the ministers······
"This matter, that's the end of it, I don't want the Third Emperor Uncle to have anything to do with you, the family of the Second Emperor Uncle, I will leave it to you to take care of!"
"Alas!"
Sangao slipped out of the palace from Ji'er, and hurriedly took people to take care of Ergao's funeral.
Because Ergao was a prisoner, he couldn't be buried as thickly as the prince, so Sangao bought a good coffin and let people hurry up and bury it!
The news of Ergao's death spread far and wide and spread to Ergao's wife and children who were imprisoned in another place, and Ergao's son was indignant, thinking that Sangao deliberately killed their father in order to tie up with the emperor.
When Sangao hastily finished handling Ergao's funeral and was about to go to the prison to pick them up, he saw that they glared at him angrily.
These three highs muttered in their hearts, it seems that they know what happened, if they take them back to their fiefdoms, with their attitude towards themselves, will they kill themselves and their families in the future to avenge their father?!
This thought shocked Sangao's heart.
You must know that the three highs wore a pair of pants with them at the beginning, but now they are in prison, but they are happy to live outside, and their hearts are unbalanced.
Sangao accidentally swelled their father to death again, and this matter can't be hidden!
You know, a good person, no illness, and so many imperial doctors, and so many jailers, no matter how much money you spend, you can't stop so many people's mouths.
This second high said that he died of swelling, but what does his son think?
You know, even the emperor said, why don't these three highs stop it, this is ······ Doesn't the son of the second high school suspect that the third high school did it on purpose?!
Thinking of this, Sangao was stunned.
Sangao thought about it for a long time, and he decided that he would give up mentioning people, and he would go to the chief eunuch of the investigation team to talk about this matter.
That night, Sangao invited the eunuchs of the detective team to drink, and at the banquet, Sangao said to him: "My lord, now this king has a difficult matter, please give me advice!" ”
"Why did the third prince say this? What are the orders, although the three princes command, the lower officials will never give up! ”
"My lord, this king went to the prison today to see those nephews of this king, look at them one by one, as if I want to eat this king, you also know, my lord, I didn't mean to harm my brother, right?! I kindly bought food and drinks for him to eat, and who knew that he would eat them to death, and could I be blamed for that? Now that the emperor wants me to take them back to my fiefdom, it will be difficult for me, if I don't bring it, I don't respect the will, bring it, I'm afraid that my life and the whole family will be gone, look at them one by one, they dare to rebel against the emperor, how old am I in their eyes? ”
"Then the prince means ······"
"No poison, no husband, I can't let these little bunnies do it to me and my family! Besides, if they rebel, they should be killed, but the emperor is too merciful, if I bring them back, they will have to rebel, I just think, it is better to stop this trouble for the emperor! ”
"It's ······" The top leader of the detective team gasped, and he looked at Sangao in a daze.
"You have to help me with this, if the emperor blames me, I will bear it, I will do things alone, at least I can save my family's life, right?!"
"Lord Wang, do you really want to attack them?"
"They all want my life, why should I be polite to them? I don't understand, they don't pee on themselves, they rebel, and want to ······ back then Of course, I was bewitched by my second brother at that time······"
"Let's not talk about it!" The eunuch of the investigation team hurriedly said: "Who hasn't made a mistake? The prodigal son will not change the money when he turns back, let alone you, the prince! ”
"That's that! Okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it, it's all in the past. Sangao stepped forward and took the eunuch's hand and said, "My lord, I want to kill them, you have to come up with an idea for me!" ”
So, the eunuch of the investigation team made a gesture of thought, and then said: "The emperor asked you to take them back to take care of them, this is easy to do, isn't the second prince a?" ”
"yes!"
"Aren't they sad as sons?"
"That must be sad!"
"That's it, if you're sad, what can't you do?"
"You mean to say ······"
"For example, the fifth one said, 'I'm not going to live anymore.' He wants to go with his father! ”
"Oh, I see!"
"In this way, today's prison will not arrange for the lower officials to go to the prison, you send your people in, do you know what to do?"
"Well, this king understands!"
So, the next morning, someone suddenly panicked and reported to the eunuch of the investigation team, saying that the sons of the second prince had hanged themselves!
"How could you hang yourself?"
When the emperor learned the news, he looked for Sangao, and Sangao complained: "This kid, it's really confused, then my brother is gone, isn't there still me?!" I'm an uncle, can't I take care of them, alas, they want to show filial piety, and they quarreled with me in the afternoon to go with his father, and I reprimanded them, why are they so confused······"
So, the case ended in a mess.
In the early dynasty, the ministers unanimously believed in their hearts that it was the three highs who killed them, but each of them was pretending to be confused.
Because they suggested that the emperor kill the father and son of the second highest, but Ji'er did not kill him, saying that his grandfather and father did not kill him, how could he kill his uncle!
This time it's okay, this time it was the three highs who killed them.
In short, this matter is over, and no one wants to mention it again.
You must know that if the rebellion of the second high school is successful, then what will happen to these ministers?
The ministers of Emperor Huiwu were their precursors, many people were raided, and some were exterminated······
So, what the three highs can take away are the beautiful concubines of the two highs.
However, the eldest concubine of the second high school, when they heard that their son died, they all hanged themselves, what is the point of living?!
There were only two young concubines left, crying and crying and following Sangao on the road.
They cried because they didn't know how they would live in the future, so the second high said: "Don't be sad, I will take care of you, if I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat!" ”
Hearing this, well, they stopped crying.
Halfway back to the fiefdom, Ergao got into their bed······
Anyway, they lived in the backyard of Sangao, and soon after, one of them gave birth to a county lord to Sangao!
Let's not go into the details of this!
It was only said that after Sangao left, Ji'er summoned the eunuchs of the investigation team, and they had a conversation.
As for this conversation, because it was a secret conversation, it was not recorded in history.
Of course, the eunuch of the detective team would never admit that he asked Ergao to eat half a steamed bun every day.
Who saw it? Is the place where the second high school is imprisoned also where your ordinary jailer can go? That has to be serviced!
Therefore, the eunuch of the anti-crime team said to the emperor: Three meals a day, a lot.
Of course, there is no way to check whether there is food in the basket that delivers food, that is, to arrest the jailer who delivered food to Ergao, does he dare to admit that he only sends him half a steamed bun to eat every day?!
Besides, Ji'er went to talk to the eunuch of the detective team, although the two of them played dumb riddles, if their conversation had to be told in vain, it would be that Ji'er asked him, have you done this seamlessly? The eunuch of the anti-police team returned, absolutely seamless, no one knew!
So the kings and ministers rejoiced!
They are tacit cooperation, how can you say this?
When the eunuch learned that the emperor was going to summon the third high, so the eunuch starved the second high for nearly 20 days, and when the third high came to see the second high, the second high was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, how could he still complain that the prison had abused him at this time? He had to think about having a good meal, so Sangao sent someone to make a table of dishes for Ergao to eat, and Ergao ate too much, his shrinking stomach, where could he eat like this? Besides, if he doesn't die, the eunuch is also ready to send someone to do things on him at night, and the next day he will see a second high man who has been swelled to death······
Now everyone knows that Sangao killed Ergao and his family, this is a very happy thing, who would say that it came?!
Well, the rebellion case of the second high of the three dynasties was made, and in the end, the third high school drew a successful end to him!
Then I have to mention one more thing, about Sangao's coming to cry poor and ask Ji'er for money this time, did Ji'er give it?
That must be given!
Ji'er also gave him a lot, which made Sangao a little flattered, and Sangao once suspected that he was dreaming!
Ji'er replied to Sangao like this: "Now that I am such an imperial uncle as you, I want you to live a good life, so you can retire there!" ”
What else is there to dislike about these three highs? So when he returned, he trumpeted the goodness of the current emperor, and if he heard any magistrate complaining about the emperor, he would come to the door himself and beat him······
