Chapter 137: The Empress was left behind by the deposed prince
In the following month, the second prince was busy dealing with the case every day, and Ye Shengge stayed in the General's Mansion for a few days and then returned to his house, Qiuyue has been living in the General's Mansion during this time, and Mrs. Night learned about Qiuyue's life experience, she loved and liked her even more, the so-called love house and Wu, because everyone in the General's Mansion likes Yesheng Song, so they also like Qiuyue, and they are also very good to Qiuyue.
Qiu Yue is a chivalrous person who is used to wandering around, and it will be very unaccustomed for her to stay in one place for a long time, but since the case has not been dealt with, she can't leave the imperial city without permission, so she has lived in the General's Mansion for a month.
During this month, Mrs. Night will always ask Qiuyue a lot of things that happened in Qiuyue in the rivers and lakes, and she will also ask many questions about Yeshengge, and the stories that Qiuyue told her are all things that Mrs. Night has never experienced but has always longed for, so the two chatted very much, and their relationship slowly warmed up.
During this period of time, Ye Shengge and Qiu Yue were often called to the current criminal department because of the case in Liuzhou, anyway, the two of them had nothing to do, and it was not a bad thing not to run, and they had nothing to do recently.
However, the second prince and the people of the Liu family were busy for a whole month before all the cases were solved together.
In addition to the assassination of Ye Shengge and the kidnapping of Ye Luohuan, it is the big case in Liuzhou, and the case of blackmailing the four princes together, all these cases have been thoroughly investigated, and there are more than 20 officials involved in the court, that is, there are seven officials in the court every day, and the others are some local officials and more than a dozen.
This is just the officials according to the severity of their crimes, some officials dislike the bad, even unforgivable crimes, to the point of being beheaded all over the house, some officials are relatively light, but they just need to accept the punishment, this series of involvement, actually more than 500 people are involved.
If you add the Liuzhou prefect's family, the number will definitely be more, but unfortunately the Liuzhou prefect has long been wiped out, and some people related to the Five Spirits Sect have also been dealt with, including Linze.
Then there is Zhang Sanbao, the murderer of the Liuzhou prefect who was wiped out, and even the queen's own brother, the dignified uncle of the country, could not escape, and the family of the uncle was arrested and put in prison, and even the queen was involved in it, and the queen was abolished and put in prison.
This case caused a sensation in the entire imperial city, and even the entire Great Xia Kingdom, but fortunately, in all the vacant positions, other officials were immediately added, and these officials were carefully selected by the emperor himself, who could take on this important task and be used by the emperor.
And the second prince and the Liu family also did things fairly, among them, the eldest prince did not participate in anything, and naturally he would not be implicated, but it is a pity that the ministers who originally supported the eldest prince, because of some crazy actions of the queen mother and the uncle of the country, all of them were uprooted, and the eldest prince was afraid that he would lose power if he did not die.
Everyone is sighing for the eldest prince, he was originally a good and powerful prince, and he was the eldest son, and the chance of ascending the throne was very high, but because there was an unreliable queen and an unreliable uncle, all his efforts were scrapped.
After all these trials, the most proud of them is the three princes, originally the eldest prince and the three princes competed for the throne, and the party in the court was divided into two factions, and the eldest prince was wrecked at this time, and the three princes monopolized power in the court, and there were some ministers who stood in the middle and were ercapitable, and they all expressed their hearts to the three princes at this time, and everyone could see that this world was about to be the world of the three princes.
However, after this incident, the emperor did not announce who the prince was, if the emperor passed away, it would be logical that the second prince must be the second prince who boarded the plane to become the emperor, so some ministers in the court began to move closer to the second prince, after all, the second prince is far more powerful than the third prince in terms of ability and ability.
The most important thing is that the second prince is not only powerful, but also an approachable house, he is not as gloomy as the third prince, his emotions are erratic, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent.
But the second prince said that he didn't have any plans in that regard, he just wanted to spend his life freely, which made the third prince even more proud, and the world would be his sooner or later.
And how ugly the eldest prince's face is, you don't need to look at it to know, it must be extremely ugly, hateful, and remorseful, but he can't hate others, after all, it was his mother who dragged him into the water, no matter how upright the eldest prince is, how strong his ability is, this time, almost all the ministers who support him are gone, even if he wants to cultivate power again, the third prince will never give him this opportunity, he has no chance to ascend the throne, unless it is the old emperor, altruism is the prince.
And in this short period of one month, people inside and outside the imperial city are panicking, and every day they can see soldiers arresting criminals in the imperial city, and the ministers in the court are even more cautious, for fear of being caught by others with a little bit of tricks, for fear of having a little relationship with those crimes.
This person has been in a panic for a month, everyone has a bad life, for fear that they will be arrested accidentally, and the only ones who sleep and eat comfortably are estimated to be the people from the Ye family and the three princes, and they don't have to worry about it at all.
And in this incident, the eldest prince can't intercede for those ministers, after all, as long as he speaks, the eldest prince will inevitably be dragged into the water, or even die without a place to be buried, and the Liu family is also looking at Ye Luohuan's face, if some of the ministers of the eldest prince commit relatively minor crimes, they will be punished for a few years of imprisonment, and it will not be too serious, and it will not be too serious, and Ye Luohuan will not be ridiculed and neglected by others after this incident.
And the Ye family and the Liu family show that the eldest prince is their son-in-law no matter what, and Ye Shengge will always be the daughter of the Ye family and the niece of the Liu family.
There are these two families that have shown their attitude, even if the eldest prince has lost power, there are still some ministers who choose to follow the eldest prince, after all, the Liu family and the Ye family can be said to be all monstrous.
The Ye family has mastered the military power of the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and the Liu family has mastered the literati and writers of the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and how great the power is is can be imagined.
However, these two families are well-known for their loyalty, whoever is the emperor will be loyal to whom, if the emperor who sits on the throne does some ridiculous things, the people of these two families will have a right to discipline the emperor, if the emperor does not listen to the advice, it is very likely that these two families will be moved down, so that capable people can take the throne.
This is the privilege given to these two families by the old emperors of the past dynasties, but the people of these two families can never be emperors, and this is also the promise that these two families give to every old emperor.
More than 500 people were arrested, more than 100 of them were beheaded, more than 200 were exiled to the wilderness, and the remaining 200 were to spend years or even decades in prison cells.
Uncle Guo's family was directly beheaded to show the public, although the queen participated in it, but when the queen was the mother of the eldest prince, she was demoted to a commoner and lived on the streets, whether she was dead or alive, it depended on his own creation.
And the queen's maiden family, all the big officials who did not participate in it were dismissed, and the small officials continued to serve, and if they made mistakes, they were immediately demoted to commoners, and they were punished as they wanted, and they were never soft.
All the cases have been sentenced, and everyone should be punished on a basis, with evidence, and in an orderly manner, and all the evidence of the crime has been posted through notices, and the people of the entire imperial city can see it clearly.
And in this process, there are also many people who are oppressed on weekdays, and many big officials are exposed because of the crimes of corruption and bribery and oppression of the people on weekdays, and some officials are unable to escape death because of their repeated crimes.
And Yan Wanqiu, because she didn't know about it, and she didn't participate in it, and because the Liuzhou prefect's family was destroyed, the emperor was kind-hearted, so he didn't dispose of her, but he was no better off being powerless and powerless now, all the gold, silver and jewelry in Liuzhou Mansion were taken back by the emperor, and the mansion was also distributed to the new Liuzhou prefect.
During this period, Yan Wanqiu also tried to find the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was almost unable to protect himself, and many troublesome things were pressed on him, how could he be in the mood to take care of a subordinate daughter, Yan Wanqiu finally found Yeshengge after running into walls everywhere.
In the middle of the night, Song had someone take her into the prince's mansion to see what she was going to do.
"Sister Night, now I have nowhere to go, I can't go back to Liuzhou City, and this huge imperial city, there is no place for me, Sister Night has a life-saving grace for me, I will be a cow and a horse, repay Sister Night, I hope Sister Night can give me and Xiaochun a place to stay." Yan Wanqiu cried so much that she felt pity, and she looked at Yan Wanqiu in the middle of the night, Yan Wanqiu often went to the eldest prince during this time, and probably wanted to find a backer, thinking about it this way, although this Yan Wanqiu also has something annoying, but after all, she is not a heinous person, just give her a place to go.
"In that case, I will give you some silver taels, and you can take them to buy some land, and you two can live for the rest of your lives." Ye Shengge opened her mouth and said that she had already repaid the kindness at the city gate by saving them, and now she could give them some silver taels to settle them.
"Sister Night, you have a life-saving grace for me, now everyone is afraid of us, but Sister Night is still willing to help me, I want to stay by Sister Night's side to be a cow and a horse, and serve Sister Night for the rest of my life." Yan Wanqiu said pitifully, she kowtowed to Yesheng Song vigorously, and it sounded when she touched the ground.
"I don't raise idlers in my house, and if you stay, you can only be a maid in the house." Ye Shengge said calmly.
"Sister Night......" Yan Wanqiu was stunned for a while, she couldn't understand, a thousand faces Linglong called Yesheng a sister, she could actually be a lady in the night house, she called a sister, how could she only be a maid, she was unbalanced in her heart.
"Why, don't you want to?" Ye Shengge asked coldly.
