Chapter 604: The Emperor's Fall
It's over, is everything over?
King Chengjun was unwilling to think, what was wrong? How could the emperor know so clearly about such a hidden matter in his mansion?
The four dark passages of the county king's mansion are connected to four places near and far. Two were used for him and his subordinates to communicate secretly, and two were wider to facilitate the mobilization of samurai raids.
The two secret passages connecting the location of the samurai, one leading to the Zhao family's house not far away, are simply a place to raise samurai.
The other place is the number one dart game in the capital. The head of the dart board is his subordinates, and about seventy percent of the dart masters and miscellaneous servants in the dart bureau are private soldiers raised by the king's mansion of Chengjun.
If the four secret paths are mastered by the emperor, where can Jiang Hanwen and his son escape?
Just when he was in despair, Sun Congshan's voice suddenly entered his ears, "The eldest daughter of the king of Chengjun, the county lord of Zhirong, has gathered a number of noble ladies and young talented wives in the capital through chrysanthemum banquets in recent years. ”
Next, the women who had a close relationship with the county lord of Zhirong, as well as the young talents who were close to the Chengjun Palace, were named one by one, and there were as many as eighteen people.
There are also a number of people who have been named, and whether they are subordinate to the Chengjun Mansion are still being observed.
As Sun Congshan narrated, the fluttering voice gradually became clear. King Chengjun finally opened his eyes and looked at the emperor.
He has been in business for many years, and he has always been cautious and does not dare to show the slightest flaw. He does not participate in any political affairs on a daily basis, and does not have any behavior of going against the emperor or singing against the emperor.
He was not the only prince and county king of the dynasty, why was the emperor able to find him out so clearly? And how did you manage not to let him notice the slightest?
The emperor looked at him calmly, his expression was very calm and cold, and said, "Do you need to tell you about the situation in Tangzhou and the six southeastern counties, as well as Liu Dafu?" Or, talk about the possible ending of Chai Mao and others? ”
King Chengjun also tried his best to be calm, but his heart had begun to go numb.
It turned out that his business in Tangzhou, the emperor also knew. Even Liu Dafu, who was born in a businessman, as the emperor of a country, can clearly call his name.
There are also Chai Mao and others......
Everything he planned was in the emperor's hands. What role has he played over the years? Beam-jumping clowns?
A self-deprecating smile hung on the corner of King Chengjun's mouth.
It is conceivable that secretly I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at him, and he is still triumphant, thinking that he is secretly doing all kinds of things.
Have those eyes who looked at him have laughed at him for many years? At this time, I finally got tired of watching it, and I was impatient to continue watching. So, he tore through his long-lost disguise?
King Chengjun retracted his gaze, sat quietly in his chair, and did not say a word.
He had nothing else to think about, his only thought was to hope that Jiang Hanwen could find a way to send his eldest son out and escape.
In the unbearable silence, there were chaotic shouts and noises outside, vaguely shouting "the water has gone". Moreover, this shouting is getting louder and louder, and it is getting closer and closer to the living room.
Is the palace on fire? Did Jiang Hanwen or Ge do it?
King Chengjun immediately became excited, he stood up, and was instantly held down by the four big hands behind him, and fell back to the chair.
King Chengjun struggled and turned his head to stare at the past.
At some point, two guards were already standing behind him. At this time, the two of them had big hands like iron pincers, one on each side, pressing his shoulders and holding his arms, and he couldn't move at all.
Looking out of the glass window of the living room, it was calm as usual. But the hope in King Chengjun's heart burned, and he couldn't calm down.
With red eyes, he looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." It's a fire, and we have to take shelter. ”
The emperor was still calm and quiet, and said, "Liu Xie has already taken Ruifeng to the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau and the Zhao family's courtyard to collect the force of the two places. Thinking about it, as the son of Ruifeng, it should make those people cast a mouse...... This is my country, it is my court, and I don't want to plunge the court into turmoil because of the disobedience of a few people. ”
King Chengjun stopped struggling, had a glimmer of hope, and quietly waited for the emperor to speak. If he was free from the turmoil of the imperial court, would he not be crowned with the crime of rebellion?
As long as it is not a rebellion, there is room for maneuver. Or, it could save the lives of his family.
The emperor's words kept talking...... I heard that Cheng Jun Wang received a famous Tao Gong a few days ago, and I came to appreciate it today, but I happened to encounter the county king's mansion and walked in the water. In the face of the surging fire, the wind of the king of Chengjun was lost, in order to get out of trouble, the dignity of the monarch and the ministers was ignored, and the Son of Heaven could also be pushed out by him to prevent the disaster, showing his bad nature. Chengjun King, ashamed of the Son of Heaven, ashamed of the court, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors! ”
King Chengjun was stunned, what is this? The emperor was talking to himself?
After the incident, the emperor was ashamed and committed suicide to apologize. Princess Chengjun and King Chengjun had a deep relationship, followed her husband, and hanged herself. The eldest daughter of the king of Chengjun, the county lord of Zhirong, is very filial, and is willing to lose her hair as a nun, and the green lantern ancient Buddha lives a lifetime to make up for her father's mistakes......"
"No !!" King Chengjun understood, and roared angrily, "I didn't do anything, you can't impose guilt on me." "It turns out that the emperor fought this idea! It turns out that the emperor still has scruples!
He pointed to Qian Jiaojiao and Deng Xiaoliu, who were already stunned, trembling, and seemed to be collapsing to the ground at any time, and asked angrily, "What have they done?" The courtiers presented beautiful women to the emperor, am I the first?! What did I do again? Does the emperor have any evidence of my rebellion? ”
He vigorously waved away the clamps of the two guards, stood up with a sneer, and sneered with his hands, "Or, the emperor can send someone to arrest Chai Mao and others, as well as a cadre in my house, and torture them to extract confessions." In that case, the emperor will definitely be able to get a certificate that the ministers are not subservient. At that point, I may confess my sins. ”
It is necessary to maintain the political stability of the first year of celebration and develop the trend of prosperity. I want to erase his family without a trace. How can there be such a light thing in the world?
If you want his life, the emperor has to accept the tragic result of purging the court, and there is no other choice!
A smile appeared on the emperor's calm face, unaffected by his threat at all, and he smiled and said, "If everything is as I say, Ruifeng and his brother Ruize, I will choose two reliable families to adopt them, so that they will not be treated harshly and grow up safely." As long as the two of them can live in peace, I and Congxian can guarantee that they can live their lives in peace like ordinary people. ”
King Chengjun's hideous anger froze on his face. He and the princess committed suicide; The eldest daughter lost her hair and became a nun and died in a nunnery; The people up and down the house will naturally be counted and disposed of.
However, it can be exchanged for the lives of two sons, and it can be exchanged for them to grow up safely.
King Chengjun was depressed, collapsed in his chair as if he had lost a bone, and could no longer say a word.
Unexpectedly, he devoted himself to business for so many years, and in the end, it ended in a joke-like way.
There was no bloody fighting, no rhetoric and no generous statements. In this way, in a humiliating way, after his reputation was lost, he appeared in front of the world without face, and had no choice but to kill himself.
