The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

When Li Xiang realized that something was wrong in the backyard and rushed in with his men, he saw only a group of female guards holding Li Linyu, Zhang Chaoying and the two children hostage, and they had disappeared.

It doesn’t matter if others run away, he doesn’t even care whether Li Linyu lives or dies, but Lingzhi cannot be lost!

Lingzhi is lost. Even if they have a legitimate reason, who can they support as the new emperor?

Still such a good puppet emperor!

Li Xiang reacted quickly and divided his troops into three groups: one to track down Ling Zhi, one to rescue Li Linyu, and another to rush to Xishan.

To welcome back the son of the Empress Dowager and the Deposed Emperor, it is no longer a question of whether the Deposed Empress is willing or not, but she must be willing!

He did not dare to send a letter to Duke Suguo and prepared to solve this big problem himself.

But at this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside. He gave up saving Li Linyu and ran out to take a look.

In the sealed-off Chang'an City, a Youzhou army appeared and killed all the troops he sent.

At the same time, rows of crossbows were pointed at him...

Duke Suguo also felt that everything he saw was incredible. Prince Ling did not leave many Youzhou soldiers!

How could there be so many soldiers in an instant? He suddenly remembered that a group of merchants came back from Youzhou some time ago. Could it be that soldiers had infiltrated the caravan?

Or had these people ambushed in the suburbs of the city early on and avoided his detection?

Before Duke Su could figure out the reason for his miscalculation, Jia Si took the lead in launching an attack. This was a battle without any suspense.

The Duke of Suguo's troops were regular troops except for the imperial guards, and half of the imperial guards stayed in Chang'an City, while the others were mostly the palace soldiers of the powerful and wealthy, or guards.

They are all fat and powerful, and they have no problem bullying the common people, but in regular combat, they are not as good as the bandits near Youzhou City.

Coupled with the new weapons such as gunpowder, fish oil, crossbows, etc. from the Youzhou army, Duke Su thought he was on a surprise attack, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap that Jia Si had set up long ago.

We received the signal of enemy attack when the Laba porridge was put into the pot, and by the time we captured all the enemies, the Laba porridge was still not ready.

Jia Si couldn't help but sigh. With that kind of combat power, if the Tartars had attacked Daxia from Liang Province, they might have already reached Chang'an and triggered the Chang'an Rebellion, a catastrophe in history.

Even so, you still don't want to move the capital! Do you think His Royal Highness Prince Ling treats you as treasures? Do we in Youzhou have to please you and persuade you to move the capital?

Ha, you are a bunch of useless idiots. We are hoping that you will reveal your true colors so that we can catch you all in one fell swoop!

It would be a waste of food if you move to Youzhou. If you are so reluctant to leave, then just leave your bodies in Chang'an!

What's even more ridiculous is that when Duke Suguo, Li Xiang and others were thrown into prison by Jia Si, they were still full of confidence. Jia Si definitely didn't dare to kill them!

Some of them have red books and iron scrolls in their homes, so even if King Ling himself comes, he cannot kill them!

Then when Jia Si led people to search the house, he deliberately smashed the red book and iron scroll into scrap iron in front of the powerful and wealthy.

He even specially asked the historian to watch and said directly: "Write it truthfully, so that we can tell future generations that the red book and iron scroll are not a golden ticket to immunity from death."

"Under Youzhou law, no one has special privileges!"

Anyone who participated in this riot will have their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated, except that women and children will be spared, and three generations of the entire family will not be implicated.

Then Duke Suguo and Prime Minister Li saw that no one spoke for them, all officials remained silent, and the powerful and wealthy were only concerned about saving their own lives.

As for the common people, they all agreed with King Ling's killing of the rich and powerful. They didn't even ask who was killed, because in the eyes of the common people, the rich and powerful were no good.

Duke Su thought that Prince Ling would come in person to deal with them, after all, he was a first-class duke, but Prince Ling didn't even send a letter.

The officials of Jiasi and Sansi supervised the execution, and on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the beheading took place at Caishikou.

Until their death, Prime Minister Li and Duke Su were both confused. If they treated this matter as a gambling game, they thought they could compete with Prince Ling. However, they did not expect that Prince Ling would simply overturn the table and did not take them seriously at all.

As for Li Linyu, Jiasi specially sent him to Xishan to be dealt with by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager heard that the killing at Caishikou was a river of blood, and all the dignitaries who participated were punished, no matter if you were a royal relative or a first-class duke.

In front of the murderous soldiers of the Youzhou Army, he was just a corpse.

The Empress Dowager was frightened and never mentioned going to Youzhou again. She gave Li Linyu three feet of white silk and sent her on her way.

It is said that because Li Linyu kept cursing before her death, the nanny had to have her tongue cut off before sending her on her way.

When the deposed queen heard that Li Linyu's son was taken away by Zhang Chaoying, she was so moved that she cried.

Because in her opinion, if Prince Ling could tolerate Li Linyu's son, he would definitely not take her son's life.

What she had to do now was to avoid being used by the powerful people in Chang'an. No matter what, she couldn't let them take her son away and do the same thing as the Duke of Suguo.

When the Liu family's property was searched, the soldiers were very careful and did not destroy anything. They only sealed off the Liu mansion.

This was specifically instructed by Princess Ling. From now on, the Liu family's house will be Baoer's dowry.

Marquis Liu and his two sons all participated in the riot. When Marquis Liu was in prison, he thought of Jiang's persuasion and regretted it deeply.

He acted as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and kept shouting that his wife was a good friend of Princess Ling, and that he wanted to meet Prince Ling.

Jia Si told him the truth and immediately stopped him from thinking:

"How dare you mention your wife? The princess knows exactly how your family bullied them and their daughter."

"By the way, Jiang and Bao'er have already arrived in Youzhou. This divorce letter was written by this general on behalf of Jiang. Please sign it."

Liu Hou was unwilling to sign even if he died. He said viciously:

"In this life, Jiang Shi is a member of the Liu family in life and a ghost of the Liu family in death!"

"Even if she escapes to Youzhou, she will still bear the crime of being a wife of the Liu family!"

Jia Si looked at him as if he were a fool:

"She is the guilty woman of the Liu family, and Bao'er is the guilty daughter of the Liu family. The women of your Liu family will be commoners in the future. Whether they can survive may depend on your guilty daughter of the Liu family."

Liu Hou was stunned, looking at Xiao's two sons in prison. Thinking of how he was deceived by Xiao and the sweetness when he and Jiang just got married, he burst into tears. One wrong step led to another.

How did he get to this point?

He pounded his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, used the blood as ink, and signed the divorce agreement.

He was silently apologizing to Jiang. It was not until today that he realized how wrong his actions were.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Prince Ling's decree arrived in Chang'an, praising Jia Si for quelling the riot in Chang'an. At the same time, he once again urged all officials that the progress of moving the capital should not be slowed down because of the New Year.

This time, the dignitaries and gentry in Chang'an were as honest as quails, and were more active than the officials in preparing to move to Youzhou.

It is said that the blood in the ditch at Caishikou froze into ice, and throughout the twelfth lunar month, there was a long queue at the city gate for funerals.

Sure enough, killing is the best deterrent.

What Jia Si didn't expect was that King Ling also sent an official to oversee the plan of moving the capital.

The person he sent was not Mo Xiujing, whom he had been thinking about, but Chen Xingyao.

Jia Si understood that after the prince used his sharp knife, he wanted to use Chen Xingyao to appease the frightened people of Chang'an.

Chen Xingyao felt that in the eyes of Prince Ling and his wife, he was not an official, but a movable brick that could be moved wherever needed.

He had just made some achievements in the construction of the northern border, and had not even had time to catch his breath when he received this task.

He hurried back to Chang'an and learned about the rebellion of Duke Su. Many of his old friends died in this disaster, and he sighed in his heart.

The dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an looked at Chen Xingyao with even more pity than he did, because he, the cousin of the crown prince, had fled to the border for refuge with Prince Ling.

Who wouldn’t curse that Duke Chen was so smart all his life, but ended up giving birth to a stupid son?

And now, looking at Chen Xingyao again, no one would say that he is a fool with good fortune, but would just sigh that he has a keen eye!
