Chapter 628 The capital is in turmoil, Yuanchun is pregnant
The reason why Emperor Xiaode only dealt with the Niu family in Zhenguo and then stopped is because the situation in Dazhou was a bit unstable and some abscesses had burst under his squeeze and needed to be dealt with urgently.
Xia Wanchun, Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was born in the Donglin lineage, but he was smart and sensible. He had known that Donglin had been corrupted and had no use except that his head was too itchy and the water was too cold. Instead, he fought for power and hindered the leader.
Therefore, after Taizu Xia Wanchun established his foundation, he has been cooperating with Li Chuang and the Daxi Army, among which Li Chuang made the greatest contribution.
Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu Xia Wanchun took great care of the descendants of King Chuang due to political considerations.
Because King Chuang's surname was Li, he found a party member Li Yuanhao as his ancestor, so Zhou Taizu named Li Guo, King Chuang's nephew, "King Yinchuang", and renamed Ningxia Prefecture Ping'an Prefecture, making it the seat of King Yinchuang's administration.
Marquis of Yinchuan.
One hundred years have passed, and Ping'an Prefecture has become increasingly prosperous. The successive Yinchuan Marquises have managed land and trade and made tens of millions of profits. Therefore, they colluded with some officials who had lost power in the court and raised the flag to rebel in early December.
In fact, Emperor Xiaode had already taken control of the situation and had deployed troops near Ningxia. Therefore, he had received the news early and made complete preparations. However, for a while, the situation in Ping'an Prefecture was still tense, and there were almost 30,000 to 40,000 rebels.
Claiming to be worth five hundred thousand, it was claimed that four groups of soldiers and horses would go straight to the capital to rebuild the foundation of Dashun, while the fifth group was waiting in the capital.
The news spread widely, and everyone knew about it. For a time, rumors spread all over the capital.
But the well-informed upper-class people in the capital know that with the Jinyi Guards, the Dragon Imperial Guards, and all kinds of people, no matter how big the waves are, they can't avert it.
Ping'an Prefecture is far away from the capital, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if you travel all the way, it will take half a year to get to the capital, not to mention so many soldiers and horses and so many cities along the way.
Totally unmilitary.
In addition, Emperor Xiaode had already made arrangements. The rebels, let alone others, could not even see the Pagoda Mountain of Yan'an, which was so close at hand.
But since the enemy is powerful, they will always make some preparations in the capital and create some chaos to build up their momentum.
Or maybe it was the fifth column in Ping'an Prefecture that finally broke out. At midnight that day, the capital fell into silence after the bustle, and everyone was still sleeping. Suddenly, the entire capital burst into flames, and at the same time, the sound of fighting resounded through the night sky.
Emperor Xiaode and the ministers of the cabinet and the governor's office stood on the wall of the palace city and looked at the entire capital.
This rebellion was originally meant to lure a snake out of its hole, so the preparations were very thorough.
The real controller is the eldest son of the emperor, King Ding, who is fully assisted by the patrol camp, vanguard camp, Xiaoqi camp, and Jianrui camp. The Royal Horse Supervisor is responsible for the palace confinement. There are not too many casualties in the palace. As for why the Supreme Emperor was frightened and fell ill.
If you are bedridden, it is not the subject's place to ask.
At dawn, King Ding, Yang Feng, Feng Tang, Chen Ying and others entered the palace covered in blood and delivered the order: "The rebels in the capital have been eliminated."
Emperor Xiaode nodded slightly and said: "The casualties of the generals and soldiers in the capital will be counted as soon as possible, and the pension regulations will also be drafted and submitted. Qiu Aiqing, please contact them and see how they are doing in Ping'an Prefecture?"
Qiu Zhongshan, the governor-general, led the edict.
After not sleeping all night, Emperor Xiaode was inevitably a little tired, so he asked Dai Quan to make some tea and asked casually: "Are there any casualties in the clan and noble family?"
King Ding reported back: "In the clan, the prince-level uncles Li Wangshu and Heng Wangshu have a simple family. Only some of the servants in the family suffered casualties, and several masters are fine; Cheng Wangshu, Lian Wangshu, Lu Wangshu, and Jian Wangs
Uncles, Prince Zheng's family were all besieged by the rebels, and Uncle Cheng's family was better off. After all, the uncle Wang, the princess's aunt, the prince and the princess were all fine, and the other concubines, concubines, concubines, etc. were not counted one by one. Anyway, the backbone of the family was
They're still here. The other Uncle Wang is..."
King Ding sighed and said: "When I received the news and hurried to rescue, it was already too late. Several uncles were killed, and the princess and aunt were loyal and did not want to be insulted by the rebels, so they also committed suicide. In the palace
Except for a few shameless women who joined the rebels in order to survive, the rest of them committed suicide. Among the several families, there was only one bastard left in the family of Prince Lian's uncle. Because he was still young, he was hidden by his wet nurse in a rockery cave to avoid disaster.
; Prince Lu's uncle was protected by the government soldiers and retreated into the tunnel, and all the concubines were killed; the little princess of Prince Jian's uncle's family was hidden in the cave under her by the princess and aunt, and escaped with her life; Prince Zheng's uncle's son was taken by his maternal family to study
If you are not in the house, you will be spared."
Emperor Xiaode raised his eyebrows and said, "What about those at the level of county king?"
King Ding had already made an inventory and came to tell them one by one: "...the idle clan family has not suffered any losses, but only lost some property and a few servants, and a few more concubines and concubines. A serious master is safe. It's just that
The families of the ancestors and uncles of the Supreme Emperor's generation were hit harder, and the families of the higher-ranking families were almost destroyed. Uncle Yi's family was better off, with a simple population, but it was able to survive, but it was difficult for Uncle Yi's descendants.
, there were only a few concubines in the family, and now they were in poor health and old, and it was difficult for the step-concubine and aunt to get pregnant again. The sons and ministers saw that their aunt was supporting the palace independently, and it was really pitiful, so they left a few soldiers to help.
"
Emperor Xiaode slightly nodded his head, feeling really disdainful: Most of the emperor's generation spoiled their concubines and killed their wives. They had a lot of concubines and few legitimate sons, so it would not be a loss if they were all lost. The family property could be taken back, not only to support the soldiers,
It can also reward meritorious officials, and it may even benefit the national treasury. No matter how you calculate it, this deal is a good deal.
The rest of the civil and military ministers stood with eyes and noses, noses and hearts lowered, listening to the father and son acting out the royal family, and none of them were happy or sad.
This is how the Tian family is, everyone standing here has already shown that they are joining the imperial power. No matter how much things happen, no matter how many things are said, we can't talk nonsense.
They don't have to do the dirty work, which is great.
Emperor Xiaode used the momentum of the rebels to cut off all the wrists of the Supreme Emperor in the clan. From then on, Emperor Xiaode had the final say in everything, whether it was the clan or the outer dynasty.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is truly dictatorial.
This is actually very good, as it saves everyone from carefully planning how to stand in line.
Immediately afterwards, King Ding reported to those noble officials and officials who had had trouble. Everyone went in with the left ear and came out with the right ear.
Needless to say, most of them were once confidants or favorites of the Supreme Emperor. After Emperor Xiaode came to power, they not only still obeyed the Supreme Emperor's orders and fought against him, but they also often exchanged glances with several unconvinced princes and gave him arm-in-arms.
Emperor Xiaode is looking for trouble. Do they feel regretful about the current situation? Those few who are not are also those who more or less stand on the opposite side of the national policy promulgated by Emperor Xiaode for the benefit of themselves or their families.
Of course, there are a lot of smart people in the world, and people can guess everything just by coming back to their senses.
After all, the rebel attack was a real thing. Everyone in the capital had guessed what was going on and didn't dare to say anything nonsense. The history books also read that Emperor Xiaode was really a master at taking advantage of the situation.
After hearing the reports from Prince Ding and others, Emperor Xiaode pondered for a long time and said: "In the clan, those who have no children will have all their property taken back; those who have children will have their titles inherited by the crown prince; Prince Lian's Palace and Prince Jian's Palace... how old are the two children?"
King Ding replied: "Uncle Wang Lu's son is two years old, and the princess of Prince Jian's mansion is four years old."
After hearing this, Emperor Xiaode said: "It's not a bad thing to be two years old. Dai Quan has passed the decree and the adopted son of the crown prince Yi is the crown prince. As for the wet nurse in Prince Lian's palace, I cherish her loyalty and give her a good citizen, and then reward her."
One hundred taels of gold, let her family go. Oh, by the way, the princess of Prince Jian's family will be taken care of by Princess Jing, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give her two months of silver according to the princess level."
Dai Quan takes orders.
Emperor Xiaode said again: "For noble officials and eunuchs, according to the clan, those who have legitimate children from the original wife will inherit them. If there are no children, 10% of the property will be left to the remaining people, and the rest will be recovered. The things recovered will be between you and the household department, Prince Ding."
Personally count them, and Jin Yiwei will supervise them."
King Ding took the order.
Sha Jingrui bowed and accepted the order.
Emperor Xiaode ignored him and said: "If there is land to be recovered, we will build several large villages and set aside farmland and breeding farms, which will be run by the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide a way for the retired wounded soldiers to survive. We will wait until everything is inventoried."
Okay, you go and do it together. Remember, this is a major matter related to the foundation of the country, so you must be careful. The major affairs of the country are between sacrifice and military affairs. If anyone dares to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, there is no need to repay me. I grant you the right to kill him first and report later.
Then he said: "The same goes for you. If you dare to have any thoughts on this matter, I will grant the Jin Yiwei the right to kill him first and then report him later."
King Ding's heart trembled, and he knelt down and said, "I would never dare to do this. I have also been on the battlefield and seen bloody things. I would never dare to do such an unconscionable thing."
Emperor Xiaode said: "I will leave this world to you in the future. Don't let me live up to my true expectations."
This was Xu Zhiyi's position as crown prince. King Ding was overjoyed, but there was a sense of panic on his face. He stood up slowly and stepped aside.
After everything was settled, Emperor Xiaode announced his retirement from the court and went back to rest.
As someone who is several decades old, he can't stand it after staying up all night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the bedroom, I heard the little eunuch coming in and reporting: "Your Majesty, someone is coming from Fengzao Palace."
Emperor Xiaode said impatiently: "What's the matter?"
The young eunuch lowered his eyebrows and replied: "It was Guo Hai, the chief eunuch of Fengzao Palace, who came here to report. He said that the imperial doctor had diagnosed Hua Pulse for Concubine Xian De, and she is already one month pregnant."
"What?!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Emperor Xiaode immediately became serious.
He has always had control over the birth of children in the harem. Therefore, since he came to the throne, except for the queen, there are only a few old people in the residence who have known An Sheng. He allows them to be pregnant. He does not allow other concubines to become pregnant unless necessary.
He is willing to let them get pregnant easily. You must know that he has four princes under his knees, and the position of prince has not yet been determined.
How could he not be angry when he heard that Concubine Xian De was pregnant without his permission?
When Emperor Xiaode was in power, he suffered a lot because of the large number of brothers: the Emperor not only favored beauty, but also liked to play with balance. Therefore, most of his brothers' mothers and concubines were both talented and beautiful, and the city was extremely deep.
A noble lady with deep roots.
The girls refused to give in in the palace, and their families were advancing step by step outside the palace. The situation at that time could be described as one step at a time. For the favor of the Supreme Emperor, the princes, the harem, and the previous dynasty were constantly fighting each other. The direct result was not only
Many beautiful women withered in the harem, and many princes and princesses also died before they could grow up due to intrigues and intrigues. Among them were his mother-in-law and his sister who was less than seven years old.
Therefore, after Emperor Xiaode ascended the throne, the only one he trusted among his brothers was his own brother, Prince Zhongshun.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly get an ambitious concubine like Jia Yuanchun pregnant?
It was just a way to make the great nobles burn their money.
Did Jia Yuanchun really think that she was a noble concubine? She was pregnant secretly without telling her?
