Chapter 259

The welcoming team moved forward in a lively manner, with drummers in front of them, all dressed in festive clothes, and the suona and the drums were pasted with the red happy word.Then came the bright red sedan chair, with four maidservants and two old ladies on the left and right, all wearing brand new clothes, holding a basket in their hands and throwing candy and copper coins around from time to time.

The onlookers on the road were naturally happy when they got the rewards, but some people said: "I really don't know why the little general can't think about it. He insists on marrying a country girl and making such a show. Could it be that girl is beautiful?"

"Isn't it just to say that I just heard that she was born in Zhangji, and she has quite a fortune, but even if she is rich, can she still compare to the ladies in the capital? I heard that one of the nine young ministers, Taichang Temple Qingjia Di Miss is looking for life and death to marry this little general who follows Duke Hu Guo. Thinking about Miss Di, she is also a well-known talented woman in Chang'an City, and her eldest brother is working in a privileged place in the south of the Yangtze River, and her family's wealth is unknown." Then, The man who opened the mouth couldn't help sighing, "It's really a pity, I just hope that the little general will not regret it in the future."

Before his words dissipated, he saw the casual dowry-carrying team passing by one by one. The dowry was carried for a total of 56, but it was not a bit worse than the other's daughter-in-law.And look at the box, although the first lift is light, but there is clearly a stack of paper pressed by Yu Ruyi on it.It really cannot be underestimated. It was a custom in the Zhou Dynasty that if there is a land deed Zhuangzi in the dowry, it should be replaced by paper. Now it seems that it is telling the world clearly that the bride’s dowry has more than one or two real estates in Zhuangzi. .Although the last fifty lifts are strict, anyone with a little sharp eyesight can clearly see that the two strong men carrying the dowry are frowning and looking very strenuous.As for the last few loads, they were not boxed because they were a complete set of furniture. If they were placed in ordinary people's homes, they would be enough to last for several lifetimes.

So, didn't he slap the face of the person who mocked Zhaodi's ostentation in the crowd?I'm afraid that many rich and noble families will not be able to provide such a rich family background.Even if it is a meritorious family, if they want to come up with such a 58-year-old dowry, it is estimated that they will have to weigh it carefully.

The sound of drum music resounded in the streets of Chang'an City, and as the eight sedan chairs were carried to the front of the mansion, the accompanying matchmaker smiled and shouted: "The bride, get off the sedan chair."

Afterwards, someone reminded me of the various ceremonies and regulations, and Zhaodi, who was under the hijab, was completely at ease when she was held by the warm hands of the six sons.Thinking of what her mother had said to her aunt, her heart was filled with sweetness.

Originally thought that the happy days were just like this, but unexpectedly, on the second day after Liu Zi and Zhao Di got married, something happened in the court.In the capital city, the original guards were all replaced by troops from the Forbidden Army and Huben Camp. It used to be a bustling place, but now you can often see cold soldiers passing by in line.All of a sudden, people in the capital were in a state of panic, and even the six sons, whose marriage leave had not yet ended, followed Zhang Mandun back to the barracks because of worries before returning home.

Fortunately, Zhaodi is a sensible person, even though she doesn't know what happened in the capital, she also knows that at this time, she must not drag her man back.Even for the sake of safety, and in order not to distract the six sons, on the day of returning home, she brought her maid and servant back to the Duke's mansion with the gift of returning home.

Due to the sudden martial law across the city, coupled with the fact that soldiers searched the streets and alleys day and night, even many ministers did not dare to breathe.Those who have a little way have already begun to look for a way out.

"Reporting to the prince, the Dragon Guards have sneaked into the palace according to the plan, and the emperor has arranged people to protect him."

After receiving the report, Prince Rui's expression became slightly relaxed. He looked at the marks on the blueprint with sharp eyes, and then squinted his eyes for a long time before ordering: "Duke Hu, the Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate will be handed over to you. This time Incomparable hits the mark, and I can't give the fourth, fifth, and sixth any more chances."

Sure enough, the best method in the world is to incite people to rebel, and the best way to resolve the dispute over the heir apparent is also rebellion.A rebellion is destined to implicate everyone in it, and you can see how many people have ulterior motives and intend to stand in line.

For this game of chess, Prince Rui and others have been planning for a long time.He could even bear the fact that the fifth child extended his hand to the Ministry of War, and took advantage of the convenience of his management of the Ministry of Households to take the general's salary and food for himself.What's more, the emperor secretly acquiesced that he almost emptied the entire treasury.To fatten his appetite
Collaborating with foreign enemies to attempt to usurp the throne, these two items alone are enough to annihilate the entire army of princes who have a change of heart.

In the Fengluan Palace in the palace, the emperor leaned on the bed and was carefully cared for by the empress, and next to him was the fifth prince in military uniform and sword.On the side are the civil and military officials he sent to suppress, of course, there are also several clan and royal relatives.

The emperor has been weak for several days, and now he is unable to move, and his face is slumped. He just lies on the dragon bed, looks at the things below with cold eyes and does not speak.

"I ask you, do you know that you are committing a great treason?" Although the emperor was in a weak position, he had experienced the baptism of wind and rain and sat firmly in the court.How can a person who can be an emperor put himself in a mess?
The fifth prince only thought that he was the end of his strong bow, waved his hands impatiently, and said sadly: "Father, please don't worry about me, you are not feeling well, my son loves you, and I just want to do something for you That's all. In the future, you should still live in peace of mind, and don't worry about state affairs."

As soon as this sentence fell, he directly pulled out a blank imperial decree that he had prepared long ago, and said with a proud smile: "The so-called winner and loser will only be written in the history books in the future. I had no choice but to clear the door for the emperor. Father, please write down the edict of abdication as soon as you please. After all, you and I are father and son. If you want to use swords and swords, you may hurt your relationship."

As soon as these words fell, there were already a few adults who belonged to the camp of the fifth prince, including Wen Changhou and Lord Lin, two insignificant people, who knelt under the dragon cave and shouted long live to the fifth prince.Followed closely by Master Yue and several other members of the clan who were also active on weekdays.

But what surprised the emperor the most was that among these people, he single-handedly promoted Xu San and others who were supposed to be the guards of the prince's camp.What surprised him even more was that even the fourth and sixth were standing by his side, and beside him stood a few royal uncles of the clan.

As these few stood up to show their loyalty, after a while, many important officials and even generals in the court rushed out angrily, and many ministers who had been vacillating, now saw that the fifth prince had actually taken control of the Imperial Guards at the Tiger Ben Camp. The guards didn't dare to wait and see one after another.

In less than a quarter of an hour, seven or eight out of ten courtiers in the court had surrendered to the Fifth Prince.Only those who really belonged to the emperor's confidantes remained, protecting the emperor and empress and being besieged by the five princes.

"Father, my son advises you not to fight trapped beasts." Seeing the emperor's face condensed and his eyes full of anger, the fifth prince couldn't help but sneered, "Third brother is probably too busy to take care of himself at the moment. The battalion was attacked, and the food and grass were burned to ashes. It is estimated that at this time, General Fuguo has sent people to surround the third brother and others, and he will not be able to escape for a while to rescue you."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, my son was worried about the health of the emperor, so he suppressed the news of the flood in the south. It's just that the plague will be rampant after the flood in previous years, and the southern border will always take advantage of it. I don't know What will happen this year. So for the consideration of the common people in the world, I hope that the father and emperor will give the jade seal to the minister earlier, so that the minister can help put down the chaos, right?"

Seeing that Lao Wu dared to move the camp on the outskirts of the capital guarding the capital, and even lured wolves into the house and joined forces with people from southern Xinjiang to shake up the situation in the south of Dazhou, how could he not be anxious.Floods have always been the most terrible natural disasters in the south, especially after the plague, there will be thousands of miles of dead bodies, the people will be homeless and displaced, and countless old, weak and sick children will die of starvation, freezing and disease.Thinking of this, the emperor who was just a little indifferent just now turned into a real glaring look.

"Bastard, you are trying to shake the foundation of Dazhou and destroy the foundation of the ancestors. Even if I die, I will not let you do what you want." When he got angry like this, he spurted out a mouthful of blood immediately.This vomiting of blood immediately caused many confidant ministers to be shattered, but it also strengthened their determination to take refuge in the fifth prince.

And for this change, the queen who was also shocked comforted her repeatedly.However, when facing the rebellious fifth prince, he shared the same hatred with the emperor and did not reveal any anxiety and fear.

"Fifth, if you don't want to be cast aside by the world, hurry up and call the imperial doctor to see the emperor. Otherwise, this palace and the entire Jia family will stay with you forever, and you will never get what you want," the queen said. She was originally the daughter of the Jia family, just to avoid the monopoly of her relatives, so the Jia family has never been reused.But even so, the Jia family played a pivotal role in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, just because the old man of the Jia family was also a hero who founded the country and was later named the Grand Marshal of the World.However, later the Jia family was all women's relatives, and no one inherited the mantle. In order to show his favor/favor/, the late emperor appointed the current empress as the current concubine.

"Forget it, since the father refuses to enjoy the blessings, then don't blame the sons and ministers for being cruel. Since ancient times, those who have made big things don't care about small things." After finishing speaking, the fifth prince pretended to sigh and said, "The prince intends to rebel. , today deposed Prince Rui from the position of Prince Rui. However, the East Palace is related to the foundation of the country, and the fifth prince has made great contributions in saving him, so he was specially ordered to supervise the country. The crime should be punished. Prime Minister Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of War and others were shot dead on the spot for assisting the prince in rebellion."
