Chapter 1188: The Price of Perdition
The Praetorian Guards were dispatched, and the streets and alleys were full of murder.
In the ninth year of Emperor Huang, on the fifth day of the ninth month, with bursts of mournful and fearful wails, countless lives in the nine clans of the Xiang family were cut off outside the noon gate, and the bloody breath was scattered in the air for a long time.
After the last beheading of the Beiling royal family, nine years have passed, and the destruction of the door again shows that the power of the emperor cannot be violated.
The people of Dijing witnessed this killing.
The girl sitting on the throne of the Jinluan Palace has the most beautiful face among girls of the same age in the Lingguo, and the touch of cinnabar dotted on her forehead is dazzling, revealing a dignity that people dare not look at.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one dared to raise any objections to the empress's assumption of power.
As the nine-year-old empress said: "I am young and not very sensible, and I always feel a little unbearable to accept the honorable bows of my uncles, uncles, and grandfathers at the age of nine." ”
So, she said she needed to do something to make herself worthy of her name and make herself worthy of such a courtesy.
But no one expected that after such a simple, crispy and tender sentence, the result was that the Xiang family was full of punishment!
And it's quick and neat!
Such ruthless methods, sharp style, and it really makes people's hearts palpitate and chill, and after nine years of silence and almost being deliberately forgotten for nine years, it brought such a great shock to the ministers as soon as he came to power.
It's unprecedented.
The bloody qi in the imperial city has not been dissipated until now.
For three consecutive days of the early dynasty, the ministers trembled, how calm their faces were, and how panicked they were.
They prayed to Heaven with great urgency, and Her Majesty the little Empress only had to sit down in the dragon chair, accept their prostrations with peace of mind, and then nod her head to the Prince Regent's decision in court.
Don't say you can afford it.
They are willing to bow down, and there will never be a trace of disbelief in their hearts.
Really, there will never be any more objections.
They couldn't afford to pay the price of such an instant ruin.
Once destroyed, how many years of calculations and plans have come to naught, no one can afford such a bloody price.
They prefer to make her worthy of any big gift from the start, without any superfluous moves to prove it.
"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."
The delicate voice sounded, and the ministers shivered in unison.
Jiu Rao supported her cheeks with one hand, raised her eyebrows lightly, and looked at the ministers in the palace as if she was puzzled: "All Aiqing is very cold? ”
"No...... Not cold. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military hurriedly shook their heads, "Your Majesty Xie cares." ”
"Oh." Jiu Rao held her cheeks in her hands, "What I want to say is that nine years ago, Xiang Nan went to the border pass on the order of the regent......"
There was silence in the hall.
The ministers were shocked in unison, and looked up at the regent standing beside the dragon chair.
Is this time to begin settling the regent's accounts?
Some people can't help but think in their hearts, if they really start settling accounts at this time, Her Majesty the little empress is not yet at the age of pro-government, no matter how neat and ruthless she is, without the support of the regent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to really sit firmly in the country.
The will to leave the forbidden court, how many checkpoints are there in between, can the little empress know it in her heart?
Whose orders are listened to by the commander of the forbidden army?
Who's instructions to listen to when the six books are in deliberation.
What did the officials under Shangshu usually do.
How many soldiers and horses are needed at the border gates, how many taels of silver are allocated by the state treasury every year, how much is the annual tax revenue treasury, and are there any officials who fill their pockets......
