Chapter 733: Purge
Emperor Yonghui woke up under Yunni's treatment, but he was dying, and it was obvious that his condition had worsened a lot.
"Father, you don't have to worry, the sons and daughters have also taken precautions before, and there will be no big mess today. Although the father and emperor are relieved, the sons and daughters categorically cannot tolerate those chaotic ministers and thieves. Yun Lin held the ginseng soup in his hand, and fed it to Emperor Yonghui one by one, comforting his father in his mouth.
Indeed, he had been on guard against this for a long time. From a few years ago, when Qi Xiang and others planted party henchmen everywhere, Yun Lin knew that these people would make trouble sooner or later. So, at that time, he began to prepare his own strength.
No one knows Shen Ningyan's condition better than Yun Lin, so Yun Lin had already made arrangements a year ago. He didn't want chaos to happen, but looking at the way the Qi family jumped up and down, Yun Lin also understood that this matter would appear sooner or later.
Since it will happen, it is necessary to be fully prepared to deliver a fatal blow at the moment when the enemy is most proud, and this is the solution. Yun Lin had been silent before, just to find the right opportunity and kill with one blow.
Sure enough, as soon as the queen passed away, these people couldn't help it, and jumped out in a hurry, trying to launch a palace mutiny and seek to usurp the throne. Hmph, do they think that he Qin Yunlin is a vegetarian? This time, he will exterminate those on the bright side and those who are secretly troublemakers, and there will be absolutely no future troubles.
Yun Lin was talking, and Shen Hongjun was outside asking to see him. As soon as Yun Lin heard that Shen Hongjun was back, he knew that the matter had been resolved. "Father, my cousin is back, it must be good news, you should rest assured this time, right?" Yun Lin put the ginseng soup bowl aside, took a handkerchief in his hand, and wiped his mouth for Emperor Yonghui.
Emperor Yonghui's breath was unsteady, "Let Jun'er come in." "This nephew, every time he is in danger, he is the one who puts himself in danger and stands up. In Emperor Yonghui's heart, he loved Shen Hongjun a little more.
Shen Hongjun came in from outside, with some blood stains on his body, of course it was not his, it was the rebels. Shen Hongjun came to the bed, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, the rebels have all been captured, Qi Xiang, Pingyang Bo and others, all of them have been taken." What should I do with the will of His Majesty? ”
"Lin'er, you have full authority to deal with this matter, I don't have the ability to deal with these things anymore." Emperor Yonghui was lying there, and he didn't even have much strength to move his hands, let alone deal with such a complicated matter?
Yun Lin nodded silently, then turned his head to look at Shen Hongjun, "Cousin, let's go to Xuanwu Gate together, I'm going over there to see the situation." There are many things, it is better to be told in person. He also didn't want to irritate Emperor Yonghui anymore.
Shen Hongjun stood up, and then after Yun Lin said to Emperor Yonghui, the two of them came out of the dormitory together and hurried to the Xuanwu Gate. Waiting for the place, Yun Lin climbed the city wall, looked at the mess below, and shouted loudly, "Yun Zhen, detain all the officials involved in this matter and send them to the heavenly prison." ”
"Chen Ping, if you go to be in charge of the interrogation, you must dig out all these people's accomplices, and there will be no one left."
"Tianfu, you take people, go to the Qi family first, raid the Qi family, and find out Concubine Qi and the second prince and others. In addition, all the officials who participated tonight will also be raided. ”
"Cousin, I want to trouble you with one more thing, take the 100,000 reinforcements led by Chen Ping and go to the West Camp. Take all the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses there. Those people are not a good thing. The leading generals and others do not need to be appeased, they can be directly arrested and interrogated. After Yun Lin's series of orders were announced, he turned around and said to Shen Hongjun.
Shen Hongjun was stunned for a moment, "Xidaying is under the jurisdiction of Prince Cheng's prince, lord, who are you?" Shen Hongjun was shocked, could it be that this Prince Cheng also participated in tonight's rebellion?
"Don't worry, cousin, I won't wronged anyone. These things, Prince Cheng's family has been mixed up a lot, without his acquiescence, can these people bring 50,000 elite soldiers from the Western Battalion? Yun Lin shook his head and sighed, but in his dark eyes, a cold light flashed. Do you really think your butt is clean? Don't you have a handle left? Hmph, it's just self-deception.
When Shen Hongjun saw Yun Lin's performance, he knew that he would never be mistaken. So, he obeyed Yunlin's arrangement, quickly led people, and went out of the city to the west camp.
Yun Zhen and the others also went to run errands according to Yun Lin's instructions, the manpower of the Soldiers and Horses, as well as the manpower brought by Shen Hongjun and Tianfu, left most of them to guard the palace and clean the battlefield, and the rest also went to do errands.
Yun Lin stood on top of the city wall, looking at the crowd that had dispersed below, his eyes were deep and the meaning was unknown. Looking back, looking at the magnificent palace behind him in the night, it was still difficult to hide, and Yun Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time, we should be able to uproot these people, right?" He muttered.
Yun Lin turned around and went back to the imperial study where Emperor Yonghui was, and when he entered the room, he saw Emperor Yonghui lying there with a tired expression, his face was pale, with a kind of grayness, and he was very haggard. Yun Lin felt a pain in his heart, and his father really couldn't bear it after these successive blows. Is it right or wrong to do it yourself? Would it have been better if he had removed these obstacles in advance?
"Father, how are you?" Yun Lin stepped forward a few steps, came to the bed and asked softly.
Emperor Yonghui opened his eyes, looked at Yun Lin, and then shook his head, "Father is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for a few days, tomorrow when hundreds of officials enter the palace to worship, let Gao Yuan announce my will on the spot." While I still have a breath of air, I will let you rightfully ascend the throne. ”
Yun Lin cried out all of a sudden, "Father, it's all the sons who are not good, the sons shouldn't keep those people, and the sons should clean up these people in advance." Now that the father's illness has worsened, it is the son's fault. Yun Lin regretted a little in his heart, he carefully arranged the net of heaven and earth, and waited for these people to drill in, but he forgot about Emperor Yonghui's side.
Emperor Yonghui shook his head, "Silly boy, are you talking stupid things again?" They don't show any signs, it's just a little action behind the scenes, how do you clean them up? In that case, it can only be a surprise and bury the hidden danger deeper. If that were the case, I am afraid it would not be as easy to solve as it is now. ”
"Lin'er, you are resourceful, changeable, and calm, and your father is very satisfied with you. The father's body has long left the root of the disease, and now it is just a sudden attack. Don't blame yourself anymore, my father is reluctant to let your mother go, and wants to accompany her, there is such an ending, just right. ”
Emperor Yonghui's words made Yunlin cry even more fiercely. In this day, he has experienced too many things, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't hold on. After a long time, Yun Lin stopped and wiped his eyes a little embarrassed.
"Father, the second brother is young, but he just listens to the instructions of others, and his sons will not blame him. However, in this life, the second brother is afraid that he will not be able to be free. The retainer can support him for the rest of his life, but he can't let him be as free as other princes. When Yunlin said this, he naturally wanted to reassure Emperor Yonghui.
"As for the Qi family, this time it is difficult to escape. Concubine Hui is the same, Erchen will definitely not be spared. The third princess and the fourth princess can be handed over to Concubine De to raise, and in the future, the ministers will help them find an ordinary family to marry. "Yunlin knows best that Emperor Yonghui must be thinking about those children in his heart. They are the father's children, and I can't take their lives no matter what.
Emperor Yonghui closed his eyes and was silent for a while before he said, "Lin'er, thank you." "Why doesn't Emperor Yonghui understand the truth of cutting grass and eradicating roots? Today, the Qi family can rebel in the name of the second prince, and maybe someone will fight the idea of the second prince in the future.
Moreover, the second prince's family was killed, and his mother could not escape a miserable end, when he grew up, would he be restless and want to avenge his mother? If there is another person with bad intentions, I am afraid that it will be another disaster. However, after all, it was his own son, and if he really let him die, Emperor Yonghui would be even more sad.
"Lin'er, if you are like this, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future. Alas, I am the one who has made it difficult for you. Emperor Yonghui sighed and said.
"It doesn't matter, the Qi family is so powerful today, it can't shake the country, not to mention that the Qi family will fall in the future, who else can support the second brother? The sons are not afraid of this, as long as the father is happy. Yun Lin shook his head, not feeling afraid of anything. Today, he is still the prince, and he can thwart the Qi family's conspiracy, let alone his day. The second prince, it is impossible to set off any waves.
"Well, if you can do this, it proves that your father is not wrong about you. Lin'er, I have entrusted the people of the world and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to you. You must guard this Qin clan and pass it on. Emperor Yonghui was a little excited, shook Yunlin's hand hard, and admonished.
"Father, you can't be too excited, it's better to be calm. Erchen will definitely fulfill today's promise, and will definitely not break it, please rest assured. Yun Lin saw that Emperor Yonghui looked excited, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly spoke out to appease. What he is most afraid of is that Emperor Yonghui's condition will recur, in that case, the gods will not be able to save him.
Finally, Emperor Yonghui's mood calmed down, "I'm a little sleepy, you're also tired today, go and rest for a while." Tomorrow, it will be more tired, and Yunni, let her be more careful this time. Alas, things have all come together, and it has worked hard for this child. ”
Yunlin is indeed tired, on this day, he is highly nervous and overly sad, and he really feels tired at the moment. "Okay, Erchen will go back to rest first, and my father will also have a good rest, and tomorrow morning, Erchen will come to see my father again."
Yun Lin said goodbye to Emperor Yonghui, and then instructed the attendants who were waiting in the house and the imperial doctor in the outhouse, and then went out from here and found Yun Ni who was resting in the side hall.
