Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 181 Disposing of the First Prince

Hehe, thinking about it with my toes, I know that when my son actually wants to force my father to step down, everyone will be angry, let alone a person like the Son of Heaven who doesn't need to hold back his temper.

It is too big a matter for the eldest prince to force the palace. Although the old Duke is at home, he still put on the collected court clothes and entered the palace. The eldest son and the youngest Yan Junze also went with him.

It was also the time when the eldest prince chose to force the palace. Many ministers have gone back. Otherwise, the lives of the two elders with high official positions in the Duke's Mansion will be threatened. At least for now, it is not known whether the eldest prince has made such a fuss. result in personal injury or death.

But the eldest prince is also really not smart, to say something disrespectful, if she is replaced, let alone other arrangements, he must choose a time when there are many people to attack, after all, the more hostages, the better.

Maybe it was because the crown prince's attack was too sudden, the eldest prince was not prepared enough, and he couldn't sit still before taking a gamble?
Well, it is more appropriate to say that the eldest prince intends to rebel, rather than that he is committing suicide.

For the following things, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu are both white, and they must not have the opportunity to witness and experience it in person. They will wait for the old man and uncle to come back to report, and to hear people from other sources, such as Shen Qinghe, and others. He has a lot of friendship with Yun Jinghao, as said by the disciples in Yan Jingcheng's circle.

What the elders said was the big picture, and they wouldn't mention it to the younger generation if it was too specific. These young people paid attention to the details, and they could arouse her and Yun Jinghao's interest more.

Don't be surprised, Yun Jinghao is usually not interested in gossip, but as a member of the Yunshui Kingdom, he is still very concerned about the position of the crown prince and the usurpation of the throne.

When the eldest prince forced the palace, because the prince and the empress had been on guard, no casualties were caused. It is not that the emperor, concubines, and other younger princes and princesses were not dead, but that including the maids and eunuchs, none of them died. one dead.

—— Otherwise, the matter of the First Prince is just a joke.

After the eldest prince and his henchmen were captured one by one, the prince presented to the emperor all the evidence he had obtained during this period, but which he held back because of brotherhood.

The most important thing is about the five stone powder.

The emperor also knew that the crown prince had some evidence against the eldest prince, and he was even more aware that the other party was unwilling to make things difficult for his brother. If the eldest prince hadn't gone too far, how could he have come to the point where he wanted his brother to quarrel?It is really the eldest prince who started the extremely cruel and inhuman idea of ​​killing brothers and fathers, which is unbearable!
The eldest prince not only intends to murder his brother, but this brother is also the crown prince, which is equivalent to the stability of the country after death, and it cannot be tolerated by an emperor. , in the hope that he could live longer, and still did it!
If the prince hadn't found a cure and knew the cause of the disease later, once the poison was presented to the emperor, and the emperor took it again, the emperor and prince of a country would all fall, how could the Yunshui Kingdom not be in chaos?
And when the prince later found out that his father's body had gone wrong because of the five stone powder he gave him, how should he deal with himself?
The eldest prince has never considered such a human problem, and he only wants to replace the prince wholeheartedly. The reason is that since he was a child, Concubine Li has always regarded the empress as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, who has always been on his head. The stumbling block was quick, and he kept instilling in the eldest prince that if the queen is no longer the queen, if the queen is her, then the crown prince should belong to him who will be regarded as the eldest son at that time!
After years of being instilled with this kind of thinking, even people who didn't think much at first will be changed in their way of thinking, and gradually think that it is Bei Chenhui who prevented him from becoming a prince and the future emperor of Yunshui Kingdom!

It is said that after the emperor asked the eldest prince about these ideas, he sent people to take down Concubine Li without saying a word, without any scruples about the so-called doting on Concubine Li for so many years.

He took down Concubine Li, and many concubines presented evidence of the scandalous things Li Concubine had done. The queen who helped them obtain these evidences was hidden behind the scenes, hiding her achievements and fame.

Among these criminal evidences are mainly how many unborn dragon sons and daughters have been murdered by Concubine Li over the years, and how many concubines were framed in the harem, and she even extended her hand to the former court, framed Zhongliang, and placed herself and the eldest prince's manpower. , and more than half of the money corrupted by the few ministers that were handed out before was dedicated to Concubine Li, and even some of the evidence of the corruption of ink was erased by Concubine Li, and her Her natal family relied on her and the eldest prince's power to do all kinds of bullying things, and so on. There were so many crimes that it was too numerous to list.

Among these crimes, just a few of them are enough to kill Concubine Li several times.

Some of them knew the emperor well, and some of them learned about it for the first time. If only one or two charges were presented, and if the eldest prince hadn't forced the palace, maybe he would take it lightly after a second glance, but all of a sudden a pile of criminal evidence was laid out. In front of his eyes, the emperor couldn't help being furious.

On how to deal with Concubine Li and the eldest prince, the emperor also consulted other ministers for their opinions. Some of them said that they should be executed together, while others said that it is better for the eldest prince to guard the imperial tomb for the rest of his life. The ancestors prayed for blessings and made amends, and some people even said that the eldest prince is of royal blood, and his crimes are not worthy of death... At that time, the officials who were not guilty of death were thrown out by the emperor's guards before they could finish speaking.

Do you even want to throw him out of power as an old man and still not be guilty of death?
Even if it is true that the eldest prince may not be killed in the end, such words will not change from the mouth of a minister who should be sincere to the emperor.

With such a lesson learned from the past, the ministers were much more cautious in expressing their opinions later. They only mentioned how the crimes of Concubine Li and the First Prince were so heinous. Although these things may not be many, and there is still a lot of water, but in short, it is to bring out the good and the bad.

In the end, as for how to convict them, they all agreed tacitly: "The emperor please decide."

The emperor: "..." A group of cunning old foxes.

In the end, the charges against Concubine Li and the eldest prince were not settled on the same day, but it took several days before the result was reached.

Naturally, Concubine Li was thrown into the cold palace and could not leave for life. The eldest prince was relegated to common people and distributed to the frontiers, and could not return to Beijing for life. His descendants were also not allowed to enter Beijing within five generations, and were not allowed to restore their royal status.

As for after five generations?To put it in an unlucky way, it's hard to say whether their Beichen family will be in power at that time.

This is not because the emperor has a negative attitude, but in the history of Yunshui Kingdom, among the royal families of all dynasties, the longest reign was only five generations, and it will definitely be overthrown later, perhaps because of natural disasters, or man-made disasters, or even It's the withering of the royal family members, the accidental death of the emperor, and all kinds of strange things.

In fact, the emperor himself can't guarantee that the Beichen family will not follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty.

By the way, this is a secret secret of the Yunshui Kingdom's royal family, and Shen Qinghe, a gossip, told her and Yun Jinghao privately. The old Duke or Xu would not mention these things to them.

The currently reigning emperor is the second generation of the Bei Chen family, and Bei Chenhui is the third generation. Therefore, there is no need to think about the fifth generation of the eldest prince, so long in the future.

Concubine Li and the First Prince have been charged, and the matter is not over yet. Their henchmen still have a lot to deal with. The First Prince has not won many people in the court, but if they are all dealt with, there will inevitably be some problems, so Some of them were reprimanded and took off their black hats, and some of them were left for the time being, and they will be liquidated slowly later.

For a long period of time, the people in the capital can see a large number of officers and soldiers going to the official mansion every day. gold and silver!
Based on these things alone, the court doesn't need to say anything, the common people will know, oh, they are cracking down on corrupt officials again!Good copy!
The money of these corrupt officials and ink is not all the tax money they pay. If they are not ignorant of these corrupt officials and put into the treasury, they will always be used on them in the future.

These are relatively simple, more people, or it can be said that living at the foot of the emperor like the capital, most of them have a relatively high political acumen, and the eldest prince who intends to rebel through the posted emperor list is demoted When it comes to the distribution of common people, it is easy to think that these officials are from the lineage of the First Prince, and they will follow suit.

No one thinks that there is anything wrong with the emperor's actions. Firstly, ordinary people can't comment on what the emperor makes decisions. Secondly, they are all used to living a peaceful life. Sudden rebellion, isn't this honesty preventing them from living a good life!

No matter how ignorant the people are, they also know that the change of dynasty will definitely have a great impact on them. Who knows if the new emperor will increase taxes after taking office, will he make some reforms that they are not suitable for, or install his own people in the court? Manpower, send out a group of people, and let more people be implicated?
His mind turned quickly, and he even thought that once the situation in their country was unstable, the barbarians at the border might become agitated again. When the time came to fight again, wouldn't it be a waste of money and money for the people?
It is the possibility that the new emperor ascended the gene to avoid Enke because of the lack of manpower, which would make the scholars happy. Those scholars did not think it was a good thing. It was not the emperor they aspired to assist at all.

But the matter has been settled, there is no need to think about it anymore, the eldest prince has failed ╮(￣▽￣")╭.
