Chapter 289: The Storm is Settled
Sure enough, as Shen Qianwei said, the next day, the king of Jin rebelled, and the news of killing his father and king spread throughout the city.
Emperor Jianning was still ill, and after learning about this, he was angry and hurt his body.
Su Junning knew that there must be an element of drama here, after all, even Shen Qianwei knew in advance, how could Emperor Jianning not know it until now.
After thinking about it, Su Junning also understood that this was about Emperor Jianning's choice.
In the end, he abandoned the king of Jin and removed another obstacle on the way to the throne of the little grandson.
In prison, it was Shen Qianwei who came to see King Jin on his last journey.
"Lord, this is the emperor's wine, please use it."
King Jin lifted his eyelids and sat on a simple bed paved with straw, his back stiffened, and he did not return to his usual demeanor.
Glancing at the tray in the guard's hand, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"I thought my father also loved me, but when I met my eldest brother, I was nothing, and my father still valued him more in the end."
Even if his literary talent is not inferior to King Chen, his martial arts are even better, and he has made great contributions to Emperor Jianning's ascension to the throne.
But he still can't beat King Chen.
Shen Qianwei is an only son, so naturally he can't fully understand the mood of King Jin at the moment, but he has a very close relationship with his father, and it will be chilling to think about his father choosing to protect others at the moment of life and death.
So he didn't say anything at the moment, just bowed respectfully.
King Jin laughed miserably, reached out and took the wine glass, and turned his head to look at the only small square window in the cell.
Today was a nice sunny day, a ray of sunlight shone in from the window, sprinkled on his face, and King Jin's face was as pale as light, and the scar on his face became more and more eye-catching.
Shen Qianwei still remembers that when he entered Beijing from Yanzhou, the King of Jin wore a golden armor, held a red tassel gun, rode a high-headed horse, and walked on the side of Emperor Jianning with the gentle and elegant King Chen.
At that time, everyone praised Emperor Jianning for his good fortune, and the two sons under his knees were both literate and martial, both of whom were dragons and phoenixes among people.
At that time, Shen Qianwei also regarded King Jin as a role model target in his heart.
Now he is also a young general with great military achievements, but he did not expect to personally send poisoned wine to the people he once admired.
"General, can you bring a message to my father for this king?"
King Jin turned around and spoke calmly.
Shen Qianwei bowed his head, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
"My son is not filial, and I hope that I will no longer accept my father's knees in the next life."
"Lord Wang."
didn't expect him to say this, Shen Qianwei's eyes suddenly couldn't bear to overflow.
However, King Jin did not hesitate any longer, and drank all the poisoned wine.
After just a few breaths, blood spilled out of his mouth and he collapsed to the ground.
As he lay dying, he turned his body around with all his might, staring at the narrow window, like a prison bird longing for sunshine and freedom.
Shen Qianwei closed his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
When Emperor Jianning did not move the mind of the emperor's grandson, he also attached great importance to King Jin.
Otherwise, he would not have issued a secret order many times, ordering him to bring King Jin back from Yanhu.
But now that he has the grandson, he only cares about paving the way for the grandson, just like when he supported the King of Jin, he only regarded the Seven Princes as a pawn to train the King of Jin.
Shen Qianwei blamed himself, after all, he did not protect the king of Jin, so that the assassin had an opportunity to hurt the king of Jin, so that the king of Jin had no chance to inherit the unification.
But the world is unpredictable, and there is no regret medicine and a way to go back, no matter how difficult it is, you can only accept the reality and look forward.
ordered someone to properly clean up the body of King Jin, and Shen Qianwei came out of prison.
Outside, Su Yi was waiting for him.
"Uncle." Shen Qianwei arched his hand, "The errand has been completed." ”
Su Yi lowered his eyes and sighed lightly.
"Then go to the palace and report to the emperor."
The two came together today, but Su Yi really didn't want to see King Jin, so Shen Qianwei went in alone.
Yes, in the final analysis, because of Su Zhiyi's marriage, Su Yi had a pimple in his heart.
Emperor Jianning listened to the last words of King Jin, but he was silent for a long time.
But in the end, nothing was said, and King Jin's disposition came down quickly.
When the person died and the debt was eliminated, Emperor Jianning only demoted him to a concubine and buried it well, but he did not enter the imperial mausoleum, and he did not pursue the crime of rebellion.
The Rongguo Mansion was the same party, and the officials were dismissed, expelled from Bianjing, and exiled to the west.
Not all of the Li family members have been punished, before the incident, Li Yuheng, the son of the Rongguo Mansion, and his wife Wang Xuwei had already gone to work in other places, but they had nothing to do with the things in Bianjing City.
In addition, Wang Xuwei was the daughter of the household department, and King Chen also intended to keep her life and sell the favor of the household department, so he let the little couple go.
It's just that the blame of the Li family is pressing on his head, unless Li Yuheng makes great contributions in his life, he should have no chance to return to Bianjing again, and he will stay in the field as an official forever.
But he managed to save his life and official position, and was spared the pain of exile.
Of course, there is also Su Zhiyi.
Originally, King Chen agreed to keep her alive, but later Su Yi begged Emperor Jianning again, and Emperor Jianning also agreed, so Su Zhiyi's life changed from staying in the dark to staying in the open.
But if you want to stay in Bianjing, you can't do it, after all, King Jin committed a capital crime.
King Chen began to arrange and sent her to Jiangnan with the only daughter of King Jin.
Su Yi couldn't bear to see his daughter's life too sad, so he dialed two maids from the house who had served Su Zhiyi in the past, and let them go with him.
Hearing this, Su Junning also felt sarcastic.
Su Zhiyi's most resentful mother's family was the last to protect her and help her, and her most disgusting stepmother identity is now firmly on her head.
It's been a month since this turmoil was all settled.
Emperor Jianning's health also improved a lot and returned to the court.
Now he has only two sons, King Chen and the fourth prince, under his knees.
Probably because there are fewer sons and more father's love, the four princes who have been bald for many years finally gave the title of county king, and the title is Gong.
This rebellion came to an end, and Yan Hulai's envoy was finally able to leave.
With Jin Mu, who had been imprisoned for a long time, he couldn't wait to leave the territory of Beidi.
Another month later, Yan Hu's letter of state arrived, saying that the sixteen princesses who wanted to make peace with Beidi were already on the way.
Emperor Jianning was too lazy to handle this happy event of the marriage between the two countries, but he couldn't help but handle it well, so he simply threw it to the queen to take care of.
And the Su family also has happy events.
The old lady of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion went to Lin'an and told the matter of Min Zhao and Su Wanyin, and the wedding date was set for May next year.
It can be regarded as following Su Juning and Shen Qianwei.
"Okay, now Yu'an's marriage has not yet been settled, and then Yuren's fame." Su Yi smiled, revealing a rare ease in this time.
Cui Shi nodded, "I'm also looking at An'er, and I'm almost selected, I'll draw up the booklet tomorrow, and ask An'er to see which one she likes." ”
"Thank you mother for worrying about her son." Su Yu'an saluted, and his smile was a little shy.
