The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 581 Chaos (for subscription)

After listening to this, Liu Wan pondered for a while before saying to the emperor: "Long live, this year's money, food and taxes are much higher than last year, but these money and food are still in the provinces and have not yet been transported to the capital. Now the households in the capital only have 60 million yuan in silver. two."

The emperor was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought that the treasury would be enriched, and he would take all the money to the south to recruit soldiers. However, only this little money was not enough. I am afraid that it would not even be enough to appease these newly recruited soldiers. .

In fact, this was all deliberately arranged by Jia Ke.

Jia Ke had been planning to eradicate these royal family and nobles for a long time, but he never had the chance, so he came up with this method. These people jumped out and just killed them all to pave the way for his future actions.

Since Jia Ke knew that these people would rebel, how could they leave money and food for him, so Jia Ke ordered early this year that the money and food of each province should be temporarily kept in the treasury of each province.

So now, the warehouses of the household department in the capital are short of silver and food, which can be said to be poor and white.

The emperor now felt that the matter was serious. If there was no money and food, no matter how many soldiers were recruited, it would be nothing but a dream.

"There are still many wealthy households in the city. Can these people donate money and food for the imperial court?"

Liu Wan felt that the emperor was a little naive now, those wealthy households were eager to get money from the court, so how could they donate their own money to the court.

Besides, the current imperial court led by the emperor is just turbulent. Now donate a penny and don’t even think about getting it back. If you don’t do it, you will have a reputation of rebellion. When Jia Ke comes back, none of them will die. Don't try to run.

"Long live, I'm afraid it's impossible?"

The emperor actually knew the answer a long time ago, but he still had the idea of ​​just in case.

That being the case, the emperor also became cruel, and directly said to Liu Wan: "You take some soldiers to steal all these families, and then take all their properties to the south."

As a result, just as he made this suggestion, the following King Zhongshun refused to agree.

"What is the emperor doing? Do you want to dig into the foundation of our family?"

What King Zhongshun said was already very blunt.

The emperor was a little annoyed when he heard that, he turned around and stared at King Zhongshun and said, "Shut up, I haven't let you speak yet."

Unexpectedly, King Zhongshun no longer regards the emperor as a relative since the emperor wanted to sacrifice him to appease Jia Ke's anger.

So King Zhongshun stared at the emperor and started fighting.

"Could it be that I, as the late emperor's son and a hero who saved the emperor, can't even speak now?"

Seeing that King Zhongshun dared to contradict him, the emperor slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Do you still have my emperor in your heart? Do you still think of me as my servant?"

Originally, the emperor's words were enough to punish his heart, but in the end, King Zhongshun didn't buy his account at all, and directly said something that shocked him.

"Mencius told King Xuan of Qi, saying: When the king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, the ministers regard the emperor as the heart; "

After hearing these words, the emperor couldn't bear it any longer. King Zhongshun really didn't take himself seriously, so there was no need to keep him anymore.

Lai also wanted to take him to the south to advise him. Since he was so disrespectful to him, there was nothing to say. He simply killed him, the mastermind of the incident. Maybe Jia Ke could forgive him after his own failure. .

"Come here." The emperor shouted to the outside of the hall.

Then more than a dozen soldiers came in outside the hall. Some of them entered the Qianqing Palace, and they were a little at a loss there. After all, it was the first time for these people to enter such a hall.

He didn't blame them either, and pointed directly at King Zhongshun and said, "I'll take down this traitor, pull him out and execute him on the spot."

As a result, among the dozen or so soldiers, only two or three came to capture King Zhongshun, and some of the others even drew their swords and stood in front of King Zhongshun and these people, looking like they were about to fight.

King Zhongshun saw that the people standing in front of him looked familiar, and then thought about it, isn't this the guard in his mansion?

Now that King Zhongshun was proud, he was bluffed by Niu Jizong, and now he remembered that among these soldiers and guards, he was not a minority.

The emperor only remembered at that time that King Zhongshun was the one who contacted the incident this time, so naturally he was the one who made the most of it.

Many of the soldiers under him now belong to him, and he actually wants to use King Zhongshun's soldiers to kill King Zhongshun.

And King Zhongshun's heart is turning like lightning now. The soldiers outside are controlled by himself and Niu Jizong. The emperor can be said to be a loner. If that is the case, what do I have to be afraid of?

"Long Live Lord, the matter is urgent now, and I have no choice but to overstep."

After King Zhongshun finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his sword, and rushed towards those soldiers who wanted to attack him. Before they had time, he cut down one of them, and the remaining guards of Prince Zhongshun looked at it. Even King Zhongshun moved his hands, so he swarmed up and chopped those two or three people into meat.

Then King Zhongshun turned around with blood all over his face, and walked towards the imperial steps step by step.

And now the emperor stared at him without showing any weakness, and he pulled out the sword he had taken from Fengzao Palace, and confronted King Zhongshun in the hall.

The guards of King Zhongshun also surrounded him at that time, and these people immediately surrounded the emperor in the middle of the throne. As long as King Zhongshun gave an order, the emperor would immediately be decapitated.

"King Zhongshun, what do you want to do? Don't be complacent, after killing Zhen, there will be no place for you in the world."

What the emperor said was the truth. Once King Zhongshun killed the emperor, not only would Jia Ke meet to kill King Zhongshun in the name of revenge, but even the officials in the world would no longer join forces with King Zhongshun.

Those princes and nobles outside, the relatives of the emperor, if they know that King Zhongshun killed the emperor, they will be extremely happy.

At that time, as long as these people capture King Zhongshun, they will be able to give Jia Ke an explanation, which can be regarded as saving his family and life.

But Zhongshun Wang said to the emperor with red eyes: "He Jia Ke can coerce the emperor to make the princes, can't I serve the emperor to make the world safe?"

After King Zhongshun and the emperor finished speaking, they said to the guards next to them: "Take the emperor down and send him to my residence."

Prince Yixiao standing below saw all this clearly, but he didn't say anything to stop him, because in his opinion, the emperor's reputation was already rotten, while King Zhongshun was still a little bit angry, and many people in the royal family had relations with him. There is nothing wrong with it if King Zhongshun is in charge of the world.

Now Niu Jizong stood aside but didn't say a word. If he could open his mouth, the situation at that time could be resolved immediately, but he didn't say anything.

Now what Niu Jizong thinks in his mind is how to get through this difficult time, and looking at the current situation, he participated in the rebellion and took charge of the army. Jia Ke can't let him go anyway, so he might as well fight with King Zhongshun. There is a last chance.

However, although Niu Jizong stood aside and didn't care about things, the other four kings and eight princes couldn't stand in a daze. These people knew that they had offended King Zhongshun badly just now. If King Zhongshun really took control of the situation, they wouldn't wait for Jia When Ke comes back, he will be decapitated.

These people were also unambiguous, each drew their swords, summoned their own soldiers, and blocked King Zhongshun's relatives and relatives for a while.

The two sides once again clashed in the hall.

Prince Yixiao saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stood up and stood between the two sides, and then said to the four kings and eight princes: "Don't be reckless, everyone is now a grasshopper on the same rope. We fought again, but it wasn't Jia Ke who was happy in the end."

When Chen Ruiwen heard what Prince Yixiao said, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Is the old prince saying this to protect King Zhongshun? He hijacked the emperor and committed treason. Could it be that we loyal ministers can't do anything about it?"

Prince Yixiao knew that if he didn't give an explanation to these people in front of him, the situation in the capital would collapse immediately, and there was no need to wait for Jia Ke to come back, and the people inside them would exhaust their vitality.

"Everyone, now we should cooperate sincerely. After the difficulties are over, I will ask King Zhongshun to make an apology to everyone. I don't think King Zhongshun will take the original matter to heart."

Prince Yixiao paused for a while, and then said: "As for Liu Fang's matter, I blame him for being too reckless just now, but after the matter is completed, I will ask the emperor to posthumously grant him the title and let his descendants inherit the title. "

It was Wang Bagong and others who looked at each other and could not make up their minds, and finally focused their attention on Niu Jizong. After all, he is the person in charge of Bentley in the capital now, and he is also the backbone of the four kings and eight princes.

Niu Jizong saw that these people were all looking at him, and he knew that if the deadlock was not broken, the matter would be out of hand, so he stood up and said to Prince Yixiao: "Old Wang can also guarantee that King Zhongshun will not coerce private interests in the future." revenge?"

When Prince Yixiao heard what Niu Jizong said, his face showed joy, and he turned around and gave King Zhongshun a wink.

King Zhongshun was not an idiot either, and immediately expressed his opinion: "We had conflicts just now, it was all for the sake of the country, different opinions, no personal grudges, I swear to God here, in the future, if some of them are revenge, let me give you a thousand swords You can't kill the whole body."

The four kings and eight lords heard that there were steps to go down here, so they took back their swords and made way for them.

So these people took the emperor hostage and went straight to Zhongshun Palace.

At this time in the Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager had already changed her outfit.

I saw her: cicada temples and gold hairpins double pressed, embroidered belts and willow waists.The chain armor is lined with red yarn, and Zhu Rong falls to the nine heavens.

I saw that the empress dowager was wearing a fiery red war robe and holding a spear in her hand. Although she was not young, she was also very heroic.

It turned out that the empress dowager knew that King Zhongshun and the others had left the palace with the emperor, so she knew that their catastrophe was not far away, so she put on her helmet and crown and carried a spear that had not been used for many years, and left the Ningshou Palace, and went straight to the palace with the maids around her. Fengzao Palace is here.

The empress dowager also did this to protect Jia Yuanchun and the newborn baby.One is to leave a trace of blood for the dynasty, and the other is that she doesn't want to see the dynasty being easily acquired by Jia Ke, so she also wants to stumbling Jia Ke secretly.

When the Empress Dowager arrived at Fengzao Palace, it was already in chaos. Dai Quan tried his best to maintain order there, but now, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, who else would listen to him?
As soon as the Empress Dowager entered Fengzao Palace, she met a hand holding a bunch of silky and soft little eunuchs in her arms.

The empress dowager didn't even ask, she just raised her hand and fired a gun. The little eunuch yelled on the spot and fell into a pool of blood.

This moment stunned the others, and they looked up only to find that the empress dowager had brought someone with her.

Seeing that the empress dowager seemed to have touched the backbone, Dai Quan came to the empress dowager in three steps and two steps, knelt down on both knees, and said in a choked voice: "Mother queen, you are here."

The Empress Dowager looked at the eunuch who had betrayed the Supreme Emperor and didn't say anything, just passed him and entered Fengzao Palace.
