Chapter 403 Change
Nothing out of the ordinary. Even the medicinal residues have been checked carefully, and no one has tampered with them.
Emperor Yuan Cheng rested his palm on his chest, his eyes darkened. Recently, the body feels weak and dizzy from time to time. Excessive fatigue, cold and convulsions, the symptoms seem to be aggravated.
I suspected that the person next to her pillow was thinking too much, but now it seems that she has been wronged. The rumor in Shengjing was that he ordered people to spread it around, in order to clearly see the factions who form cliques for personal gain. And those courtiers who are ambitious to subvert the orthodoxy are left to the prince to deal with, just to stand up to him.
Thinking about Lao Ba's rebellious son, Emperor Yuan Cheng was hesitant, and couldn't let go of it for a while. Before he died, Ping Xiuyi begged, he still remembered clearly, to take care of him and tell him to be a rich and idle person.
This time he was escorted back to the capital, punishment was indispensable, he had to be deprived of his title, and be confined with the deposed prince.
His eyes fell on the four screens, and the emperor was extremely disappointed. Fortunately, although Lao Liu has a cold temper, he is not a bloodthirsty and tyrannical person. This time, he cut off Lao Ba Yiying's party members first, and spared his life. I think the prince's mind can be tolerated.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't know, not to mention Zong Zhenglin, but he was accompanied by that amazing person, and the wind was blowing in his ears, so there was no room for it.
Ever since she figured out that this vassal rebellion was set up together with the crown prince, Mu Xiyao couldn't bear to see the softness in the old man's heart. Leave a person who is never domesticated and has a cunning mind in Shengjing. If you don't want to kill the grass and roots, don't leave future troubles for her son.
So the woman turned her head around, and didn't say anything else, she just took the opportunity to praise Cheng Qing's little bun in front of Zong Zhenglin for his pure nature, it's rare to be friends with brothers, and to respect teachers and respect teachers.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't notice her intention at first, but happened to meet her reading "Wei History" in the study a few days later, his eyes paused for a moment on the page, his eyes flashed, and his arms around her waist tightened.
Ben didn't intend to be merciful to that person, since it made her feel uneasy, he simply acted neatly.
So before Ji Huaian took him, His Highness Prince Ping knew that he had fallen into the hands of the old man, and that he was no longer destined for the throne in this life. The heart is ruthless, and the resentment is especially heavy. Facing the current situation, trying to protect the crown prince and eradicate the kings, he felt dissatisfied, and even more unwilling to be escorted back to Beijing to be a useless person. Knowing that the defeat was doomed, he led his private army to defect overnight.
This turn of events caught the party who followed the Eighth Prince "King Qin" by surprise. Chen Yankui was furious immediately, the former majestic warrior in the battlefield was so angry that he vomited two mouthfuls of blood one after another.
Not much better than Commander Chen, in the Shengjing, Emperor Yuan Cheng lay down slumped, conscious that he was underground, and there was no ancestor Yan in front of him. Shen Ke's unhealed body weighed heavily.
In the East Palace, Zong Zhenglin's face was livid. The original intention was to force Zong Zhenghan to die, but he never expected that that person would be a coward, but he was wrong!
Mu Xiyao choked on a sip of tea so that she coughed again and again, and she couldn't turn her head around. After all, he was also a ruthless person who slaughtered the city in his previous life, so how could he be so cowardly when the end came?
Escape... The corners of Mu Xiyao's mouth twitched. This is rather to be a bandit leader than to look down on the old man's painstaking arrangement.
For the royal father and son to do this, the little bit of blood kinship before would have to be wiped out.
Sure enough, within a few days, the news of King Ping's rebellion failed and his death in Xinzhou spread throughout Wei. Emperor Yuan Cheng, who had not been in court for nearly a month, came to the court in person, acting as the prince's agent for the government, and performing the duties of supervising the country.
Afterwards, he moved to the Jiahe Hall, sued the ancestor's Taimiao, and ordered the clan to remove the emperor's eighth son Zongzheng Hanyu, abolished his title, and demoted him to a commoner.
Before everyone had recovered from the series of surprises, the front court cleaned up, and finally let the officials see the prince of Wei who usually has a serious face. In addition to being majestic and solemn, his wrists are even more iron-blooded, and the law is unforgiving. . Not only the former court, but also the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been sorted out.
In the early court, when everyone looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting at the head of the Qinzheng Hall, there were not a few people who were worried and frightened. In the past few days, the family has been ransacked and the family has been wiped out, and two second-rank officials have been exiled to the frontier. Along with Yushi Zhongcheng, who was very active before and desperately tried to face the saint, the important officials in Beijing who were dealt with by this master can't be counted with two hands. Not to mention the officials from the four prefectures who should be attached to the Eighth Prince, even if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, they know that it will definitely not go well.
"Fang Qinglin." On the high platform, Zong Zhenglin stared intently, but after calling out, he saw the slick Master of the Ministry of Finance, who was used to the Ministry of Finance, hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully saluted and answered.
Standing among the civil servants, Su Bowen and He Lianzhang looked at each other, both of them looked away very quickly, without squinting, lowering their eyebrows.
A person with a ruthless mind like the Eighth Prince could be forced to such an extent, if he had nothing to do with the one above him, the two of them would not believe it.
This master's temper is even more difficult to serve than today.
A group of confidant courtiers of Emperor Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty, more or less occupied the favor of the elders of the two dynasties. Now that the crown prince is in power, he has been purged and relegated, and there are gradually more new faces in the court. This also reminded everyone that in order to talk about love in front of this master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not hesitate to allow you "hard-working" veterans to return to their hometowns to take care of themselves.
Zong Zhenglin kept his promise in the previous dynasty, and the Crown Princess was not idle in the East Palace.
Half a month ago, the public checked the accounts, and the entire 120,000 taels of silver disappeared. If it weren't for the heavy snow disaster in the four states, the Crown Princess would suggest that everyone in the palace set an example and set a good example, and hold a banquet to invite all the Madams to enjoy the Royal Garden. In fact, they would donate some money for the suffering people, share one or two for His Royal Highness, and fight for some virtue and beauty by the way. name. After such a toss, he suddenly found that the accounts in the East Palace were not right.
Mu Xiyao saw that Yuzhao Palace called Zhuge Liangdi for questioning today, and asked her to go over to check the daily expenses tomorrow. After two days of cleansing, she ordered Nanny Feng to come and ask for it, saying that it was the princess who asked for it. The empresses of the various palaces sat in the Yuzhao Palace, and everyone counted up, to see what went wrong, and to come up with an idea.
Mu Xiyao was so annoyed that she frowned. What is Helian Minmin messing with at this time! One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver is not a small sum in the hands of anyone in the harem. Can we find no clues in this way? The Crown Princess has been in charge of the affairs of the backyard for some years, could it be that she can't even understand the account books?
Before she could find an excuse to avoid this dispute, Helian Minmin brought someone uninvited, and specially went to her Xunhuiyi Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was having dinner, and asked him to decide the matter.
Mu Xiyao disliked that He Lian Min Min's timing was wrong, but she didn't know that He Lian Shi was also forced to nowhere, if she didn't do anything, the good things she did later would be hard to cover up. Rather than being passively manipulated by others at that time, it is better to preemptively strike. It just happened that the big snowstorm came to her door, so she would not let it go easily.
Helian Minmin felt that she had miscalculated the most, but she never expected Zong Zhenglin to be so powerful. How long has it been since ascending to the reserve position, and it seems like a dragon to eliminate dissidents one after another.
Thinking about the fate of the "Phoenix Sign" approved by the master of Anguo Temple on Mu's body, the Crown Princess couldn't sit still.
