Xiao Yimao also knew that the general trend had gone at this time, and sat on the ground in despair.

Princess Kang Zhao crawled to Xiao Yimao's side and cried: "Lord, what should we do, Lord." ”

Xiao Yimao's heart was full of anger at this time, he pushed Zhao away vigorously, and shouted: "Get out, cry for me." Get out of here. ”

After yelling, Xiao Yimao tried to calm himself down and said, "Lord Cao, I am leaving the capital after all, I want to say goodbye to my mother, and please make it convenient for Lord Cao." ”

All Xiao Yimao can think of now is to ask his mother to intercede for him. Maybe the father will spare him for the sake of his mother's face.

Cao Ze said first: "Second prince, the emperor told you to leave Beijing today, you better pack some clothes as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to take anything with you then." As for the fact that you want to see Concubine Xian, it is impossible. The emperor will not allow it. ”

At the same time, Chu Minghai also went to Xuanping Houfu to announce the decree. The maiden family of the official virtuous concubine of the Zheng family of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, that is, Xiao Yimao's grandfather's family.

The Jiangzhou Mansion case involved the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and it was found that the Xuanping Hou Mansion had privately made a large number of weapons, which was definitely a big crime.

Xiao Chenghan did not relent, and directly ordered Xuanping Hou's house to be copied, and all the men in Xuanping Houfu were beheaded, and all the female dependents were used as official slaves.

Several other families were also exiled.

At this time, Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi were making medicine together in the courtyard where Jing Yi lived in King Jing's Mansion. Jingyi made medicine, and Xiao Yilin had to help beside him. He likes the feeling of two people chatting while doing things together, which is very relaxing.

At this moment, Han Qi quickly walked into Jing Yi's courtyard, "Lord Wang, something big happened in Beijing, Lord Cao of the Criminal Department and Lord Chu of Dali Temple personally took the forbidden army to King Kang's Mansion and Xuanping Marquis Mansion and a few others. I heard that King Kang was demoted to a commoner and moved to Yongzhou, and he was never allowed to return to Beijing. The family property was confiscated, and he had to leave Beijing on the same day. Xuanping Houfu was raided, the male was beheaded, and the female dependents were used as official slaves. Several of the others implicated in them were also exiled. ”

Xiao Yilin was also quite shocked when he heard this, "Are you saying that King Kang was demoted to a commoner and driven out of the capital?" Why did my father give such a heavy hand? ”

At this time, Xiao Quanzhou also came, "Lord, the latest news I got is that it is said that a large number of weapons have been privately made by Xuanping Houfu, which is suspected of rebellion and is a felony." Besides, Xuanping Houfu is King Kang's foreign family, and they support King Kang. Most of them King Kang is also aware. That's why the emperor has such a thunderous method. ”

Jing Yi listened to it next to him, and also felt that Xiao Yimao and Xuanping Houfu were dead. Since ancient times, rebellion has been a major crime of killing the head. No matter who it is, even if his own son wants to rebel, he will kill him. King Kang was just demoted to a commoner, and it was not bad that he was not given death.

Xiao Yilin sighed and said, "Is the throne so important?" Xuanping Houfu wants to seize the throne for King Kang by force? Do they take everyone else for fools? Let's just say that my Xuanwei army will allow them to threaten my father's emperor. It's a dream. ”

Jing Yi said: "Some people will be dizzy for supreme rights. If they make weapons privately, they have to recruit troops privately, so how can they hide it from others when the time comes? King Kang was unable to ascend the throne in the first place, and he was also a prince, and he also enjoyed glory and wealth.

This is the lack of people's hearts to swallow elephants, and they have to hope for things that do not belong to them, and in the end they lost their wives and soldiers, and they became commoners in defeat. Why is this so painful? ”

Xiao Yilin said: "Some people just can't see reality clearly. My brothers are all ambitious, which is why my father did not hand over the Xuanwei Army to them when I was injured and poisoned and left the capital. If one of them had taken control of the army, it might have happened. ”

Jing Yi looked at Xiao Yilin and said with a smile: "So Brother Xiao, the emperor really trusts you." ”

Xiao Yilin smiled: "Of course, my father and I are of the same heart." Besides, I'm not that attached to the throne. ”

In the afternoon, Xiao Quanzhou came to report, "Lord, someone from the palace said that the emperor summoned you to enter the palace immediately." ”

Xiao Yilin heard the words and said, "I know, I'll clean up and go." ”

Xiao Yilin changed his clothes and went into the palace in a carriage.

The virtuous concubine Zheng in the palace suddenly heard that his son King Kang Xiao Yimao was demoted to a commoner, and his mother's house Xuanping Houfu was raided, and the male in the family was about to be beheaded, and suddenly his eyes were dark and he fainted to the ground.

When she woke up, she ran to Taiji Palace like crazy regardless of her appearance. It's just that when she arrived outside the Zichen Palace, she was stopped by the guards.

Concubine Zheng didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, and begged: "Please be accommodating, I want to see Your Majesty." ”

Of course, the guards wouldn't let Concubine Xian in.

Concubine Xian, a weak woman, couldn't forcibly break in at all, so she had to kneel on the ground and cry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine begs Your Majesty to see the concubine." Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Chenghan was sitting in the Zichen Hall reviewing the recitals, and he was very upset when he heard the crying of the virtuous concubine outside, so he turned to Han Li and said, "Order someone to send the virtuous concubine back, let her meditate on her own mistakes, and she must not leave the Qingning Palace again." ”

Han Li hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid will let people send Concubine Xian back." ”

Han Li took a few little fathers-in-law out of the Zichen Palace, came to Concubine Xian, bowed down and said, "Concubine Xian, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so I don't have time to see you. Please go back. His Majesty ordered Concubine Xian Niangniang to go back and meditate on yourself, and you must not leave Qingning Palace again. ”

Concubine Xian didn't expect that the emperor would stop her in Qingning Palace if he didn't see her, and the Zheng family, who had lost all hope, suddenly went crazy, and shouted at Zichen Palace: "Your Majesty, why don't you see me, why are you so ruthless?" Mao'er, he is also your biological son, how can you bear to demote him to a commoner and drive him out of the capital. What crime has my mother's family committed, you have to kill them all like this. ”

Han Li's face sank when he saw Concubine Xian Niangniang making such a fuss, "Concubine Xian, you are making such a big fuss, it is a great disrespect to Your Majesty, and I also ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to go back to Qingning Palace immediately." ”

Concubine Xian shouted: "I don't go back, I want to see Your Majesty." I will save my son, I will save my father and my brother. ”

At this time, Xiao Yilin happened to enter the palace and arrived at the Zichen Palace, and when she saw Concubine Xian Niangniang outside the Zichen Palace, she knew what she was here for. Now that Concubine Xian's son and maiden family have all been convicted, she must have come to plead with the emperor.

When Concubine Xian saw Xiao Yilin, she suddenly stood up, her eyes shot a poisonous light, and she pointed at Xiao Yilin and scolded angrily: "It's all you, it's all you, it's all you, it's Mao'er who framed me, and you framed the Zheng family." Xiao Yilin, you are a wild species, why can you have unlimited scenery and power, while my Mao'er is going to be demoted to a commoner? My mother's house is going to be raided and exterminated? You're the damn one. ”
