Chapter Ninety-Four: Wei Yan is ruthless
The news in the harem always spreads quickly, and so does the news that Prince Xian's Mobei army was repulsed.
The palace maids and eunuchs can finally stop hiding in Tibet, some of them have begun to make up for the gold and silver treasures they stole before, and some of them are relatively obedient, and they have begun to put out the fire in the imperial study in an orderly manner under the organization of Gonggong Yan.
"Why hasn't anyone come out?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the doors and windows of the imperial study are locked by someone outside, and they were poured tung oil like the cold palace at the beginning, and they were found late, and the rescue was late, and the palace maids and eunuchs were not as adequate, so they ......"
"Where's Mrs. Wang?"
"It's in there, too."
Wei Yan frowned slightly, immediately pulled out the knife from the guard behind him, poured a basin of water all over his body, covered his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, and took the lead in rushing in.
The Imperial Forest Army, who had been following behind him to protect Wei Yan, did the same, and after drenching himself, he also rushed in.
A group of people braved the fire to arrive at the temple gate, and found that the door of the imperial study was being slammed desperately.
Wei Yan shouted "back off", first slashed the knife on the door, and with the efforts of all the guards, the door was finally broken.
"Ahem, you're finally here, I thought I'm going to give my life here today."
Mrs. Wang was the first to fall out, and her face was black, and she didn't forget to complain.
Wei Yan didn't pay attention to him, and beckoned the Imperial Forest Army to rescue those clans, while he took Taifu Wang to leave the sea of fire first.
However, the two were about to leave, and the beams of the imperial study behind them collapsed, and the guards tried their best to save Prince Rui and Prince Li.
Mrs. Wang desperately hugged Wei Yan, who was still trying to rush inside, and shouted: "You are crazy, go in now, you will die too!" Now the Yin Chongrong who saved you is not here. ”
Wei Yan lowered his head, smashed his fist into the ground, quickly got up, and continued to desperately splash water inside with a group of palace maids and eunuchs who were fighting the fire.
However, after all, they could only watch the fire burn the clan royal family inside, and the wails of pain became a nightmare for everyone for a long time.
"This time, Fang Ce is really famous."
Wang Taifu patted Wei Yan on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be too pessimistic, it's good that we also rescued Prince Li and Prince Rui, and it is better to have the clan elders explain to you than to die inside." Of course, Prince Li and Prince Rui are both very clear supporters of you, and you can't escape a reputation that excludes dissidents, but it's better than the crime of ruining the foundation of the Wei Dynasty. ”
There was already a bit of ridicule in the back of the words, Wei Yan looked at Mrs. Wang's hand on his shoulder, and reminded: "Don't forget, there are still people from the three divisions inside, and your father-in-law hasn't come out yet, have you thought about it, how will you face your family after returning home?" ”
Mrs. Wang's eyes widened, he really forgot all about Lord Cui's affairs in the sea of fire, and the main reason was that the situation at that time was not good to cross the royal family of the clan and pull Lord Cui out first, although Lord Cui was obviously much more useful than those clans.
Mrs. Wang thought of going back to the house to face the Cui family, gritted his teeth, and immediately got up and rushed into the sea of fire, at least he couldn't let Master Cui's bones be inseparable from others!
Gonggong Yan took the lead in pulling Mrs. Wang back, and Mrs. Wang slapped the ground desperately, crying wolf as if his beloved had been swallowed up by a sea of fire.
Wei Yan rubbed his eyebrows, and had no intention of watching Taifu Wang's spicy acting skills again, but instead comforted Prince Li and Prince Rui.
"I didn't expect that this was actually a serial set, but it allowed Prince Xian to succeed and almost ruined the entire Wei Dynasty clan. Now that there are only two princes left in the clan, I hope that the two imperial uncles will take up the duties of the patriarch of the clan, appease the families of the princes and ministers who are buried in the fire, and draw up a charter and hand it over. ”
"Hey, Prince Xian's rebellion is a catastrophe for my Wei Dynasty. The emperor should set things right as soon as possible, the emperor on the side of the clan does not have to worry, and the ministers and others must do their best. “
Wei Yan let out a long sigh and said, "If all the clan relatives can be as self-denying and courteous as the two uncles, today's disaster may not happen. ”
The three of them sighed for a while, and after Wei Yan sent the two princes away, he kicked Mrs. Wang, who was still crying bitterly.
"Okay, you show that the Yan Gong Guild asked the eunuch who passed the decree to inform the Cui family, hurry up and get down to business."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, he immediately stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "It's not that it's all acting, no matter what the Cui family is, Master Cui is really transparent, it's a pity." ”
"Then don't let the people who shouldn't die in vain not see the light of day, let people gather the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you preside over it first and come up with a charter, I will go to see the commander of the protectors, Fang Ce, I can't let him go back to Mobei like this."
Wei Yan saw that Mrs. Wang was busy and called Father-in-law Yan.
"The harem is still in chaos now, and Concubine Ning is still taking care of Prince Yong, the queen and Concubine Ding, but she is afraid that she will lack skills. Who are the concubines in the high position of the harem now? ”
Gonggong Yan was speechless for a while, this is how little attention he is to the harem, just a few people, and they don't know how many concubines they have.
"Now there are Bai Zhaoyi, Yin Chongrong and Xu Jieyu, but Bai Zhaoyi is still in confinement."
"Let Yin Chongrong and Xu Jieyu preside over the harem over there, if something goes wrong, the two of them should be beauties again!"
"Yes, the show girls who participated in today's draft?"
"We'll talk about it later."
After arranging the affairs of the harem, Wei Yan immediately summoned the commander of the protector army in person.
"If it weren't for Aiqing this time, the Wei Dynasty would be in danger. It's just that now that Prince Xian has defected, if he is allowed to return to Mobei, the Mobei army is afraid that it will also mutini immediately. Now that the Imperial Forest Army has suffered heavy casualties, I am afraid that they will not be able to intercept it, and the capture of Prince Xian and Yingwei will be handled by Aiqing for a hundred years. ”
"The minister will live up to the emperor's trust. It's just that if Prince Xian can be captured, he must be left alive. ”
"No need, he burned the royal family today, and he didn't see any of them alive."
The commander of the protector army bowed his head and retreated, he knew very well that if Prince Xian could not stay, then the Great Wei Jiangshan would be divided into two and fall into war for many years.
By the time Wei Yan came to the Qianqing Palace, all the civil and military officials hiding at home had already arrived at the time of chaos.
"Today's rebellion, the cause and effect must have been told to you by Taifu Wang, do you still have doubts about my origin and the events of the first emperor and concubine?"
The ministers knelt down and pleaded: "The ministers were bewitched by the rebellious ministers and thieves before, and they almost caused chaos in the court, and they no longer dared to have any doubts about the affairs of the first emperor and concubine. The ministers asked the queen to crown the former emperor and concubine as the queen mother, and announced it to the world to set the record straight. ”
Wei Yan sneered: "What if you are humiliated in the cold palace alive, and you will enjoy the glory after death?" After that, I canonized the Holy Mother of Me, and the first emperor and concubine were the Queen Mother of Obedience and Righteousness, and she was buried in the imperial mausoleum, announcing to the world and justifying the name of my biological mother. Gonggong Xu, who killed the Empress Dowager of Gongshun Yi, had been killed by the defecting shadow guards in the chaos, and his loyalty to the emperor would not harm his people. But the person who framed the Queen Mother of Gongshun and Righteousness back then must not be let go. ”
"The Ministry of Rites, now the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the President of the Supervision Yuan and the clansmen are all buried in the fire, the Dali Temple is temporarily handed over to you to co-ordinate, and this matter is also handed over to you to investigate, can you have any objections?"
"The minister commands."
"The Criminal Department and the Supervision Yuan are temporarily presided over by the Squire of the Criminal Department and the Vice President of the Supervision Yuan, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army immediately recruits personnel, counts today's casualties, and recruits and fills the vacancies within three days. In addition, the household department will distribute the casualty supply to the family of the Imperial Forest Army as soon as possible, if I find out that the deceased family of the Imperial Forest Army has taken one less child, the household department Shangshu will go to the prison to be accompanied by the rats! ”
Hubu Shangshu immediately knelt on the ground: "The minister receives the order, and the minister personally proofreads this matter, and there will never be any mistakes." “
"Dispatch 30,000 Lingnan troops to Mobei to prevent the Mobei Army from mutiny, and lead the ......"
Wei Yan looked at the generals below, and suddenly understood why Fang Ce would attack Geng Chongrong in the first place.
In addition to the generals who guard the frontier and cannot move, the most capable of fighting is General Geng, who used Geng Chongrong's matter to plan slowly, and destroyed General Geng by surprise, but he is now unavailable.
"The leader of the army, can anyone take the initiative to ask for help?"
The generals glanced at each other, some were afraid of Fang Ce's prestige on the battlefield, some were lacking in their own ability, but none of them dared to step forward to receive orders.
"The so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, I didn't expect the generals to be so incompetent. Since you can't be loyal to the king, then don't eat the king's money. Spread the decree and let the deputy general of the Lingnan Army command the troops and go to Mobei immediately. ”
"The ministers are guilty, just now they are afraid of Prince Xian, no, the prestige of the sinner Wei Fangce. The ministers asked for their orders and went to Mobei. ”
Wei Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said: "That's it, now that the Imperial Forest Army has lost a lot, and the guards want to arrest Prince Xian along the way, you will go to these two places to make a job, and make meritorious contributions. ”
No longer looking at the generals who knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, Wei Yan continued: "Prince Xian conspired against him in public, and also burned down the imperial study, burning all the princes and princes of the clan except for Prince Li and Prince Rui. It is now decreed that Prince Xian will be degraded as a concubine, and if he cannot be captured alive in the future, he can be killed on the spot. ”
