Heaven is fearless

His majesty hated the high reputation of the crown prince, so he poisoned the crown prince to kill him. In order to show his will, the crown prince jumped from the tower and died on the spot!

The news seemed to have wings, and it spread throughout the entire capital in an instant from the [-] troops that entered the city.

The defenders who witnessed the tragic death of the prince lost their will to resist, and soon let the army invade the capital, while Emperor Wei retreated into the palace city with some officials to resist stubbornly.

The reason why it was some officials and not all of them was because the moment the crown prince went down the tower, the officials on the tower were clearly divided into two factions.

One faction is the old imperial party who firmly followed Emperor Wei, and the other is the princeling party who followed the prince. These people are either former classmates of the prince, or talents dug out by the prince's insight. They are loyal to the prince. The prince died so tragically. It was an absolutely unbearable blow to them.

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and now, the lord they respected is forced to die, what should they do?

The young man wearing the crimson official uniform of the deputy head of the Imperial Academy held the city wall with both hands, his face was pale, he stared at the figure below the city tower, his whole body seemed to lose his voice, Emperor Wei hurriedly tried to leave, the young man suddenly turned his head: "Your Majesty !"

His voice was a little shrill because it was out of control.

Emperor Wei shook his shoulders unnaturally, and then looked back at him, with a cold expression, obviously he did not expect that he would be swayed by the crown prince—hardly, without any room, tearing his face as an emperor After he got down, he accused "no way" in front of the whole world.

Injustice accused by the heir!

For an emperor, this is nothing more than an accusation that can shake the throne, and the whole world has reason to question him, not to mention, for this accusation, the crown prince paid his own life.

This weight is enough to shake the world.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the crown prince who has supported the Great Wei for more than ten years. When he was there, the Great Wei was peaceful and clear, and when he died, he could easily push the Great Wei that he had single-handedly protected into the abyss.

What a cruel method!What a cruel scheme!

Emperor Wei's eyes were almost devouring, but the eyes of the young people he looked at were only burning with burning flames. There was undisguised grief on their faces. The young man in the lead bowed and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing, and said word by word : "My lord, Yan, the deputy head of the Imperial Academy, is leaning on the railing, on behalf of the people of the world, I have three questions I would like to ask Your Majesty!"

Wei Di had a premonition of what he was going to say, and his face was ferocious: "Yan leans on the railing! Shut up!"

However, Yan leaned on the railing and raised his voice. In front of hundreds of officials and soldiers on the city wall, his words were like a bell: "A question! What is the explanation for what His Majesty the Crown Prince said, that His Majesty killed his parents and children with poison! , Diligent and courteous, why does Your Majesty want...to put His Highness the Crown Prince to death!"

Emperor Wei's expression became extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Yan leaning on the railing! I told you to shut up! Go ahead and punish the Nine Clans!"

Yan leaned on the railing with a face like cement, as cold as iron. He didn't take Wei Emperor's threat to heart at all: "Second question! It is His Royal Highness who made a mistake. According to the laws of the Great Wei, if the prince made a mistake, he should submit it to the court for interrogation. Only when the ministers are informed can the punishment be determined, and if there is an irreparable mistake, the ancestral temple should be opened and the crown prince should be abolished, and only then can the abolished prince be sent to prison."

"Why, Your Majesty didn't try, prosecute, and announce, executed the punishment in private, and regarded the laws of the Great Wei as nothing!"

The loud voice of Yan leaning on the railing stunned all the officials present. Emperor Wei's face was already purple, and the creases on his face were stretched out due to anger. He looked around, and all the officials he saw lowered their heads. People stood up to refute Yan leaning on the railing, but no one interrupted.

Wei Di seemed to realize something, he took a few steps forward, drew out a long knife in the sheath of a guard next to him, and slashed at Yan leaning on the railing: "I told you to shut up!"

This move was truly earth-shattering. The emperor killed an official just because the official questioned him? !

Immediately someone panicked and wanted to stop him, but Yan, who was kneeling on the railing, still did not dodge or dodge. It seemed that he had made up his mind to fight himself out. Instead of dodging, he yelled: "Three questions! The crown prince's funeral, Your Majesty Just now, did you have a kind father's heart and wanted to go and collect the remains of the prince?!"

The cut long knife suddenly stopped a few inches in front of Yan Pinglan.

Emperor Wei's expression became very strange, his hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of fear and panic.

Shocking three questions.

There is no room for anyone to ask the emperor.

The second question is that the emperor bent the law for personal gain.

Ask the emperor three times that he has no fatherly heart.

To be intolerant of others, to bend the law for personal gain, is unbearable to be a ruler; to kill one's parents and children with poison, and to treat one's parents and children as enemies, is unbearable to be a father.

"The prince's last words, His Majesty lost his way, is there something wrong with this statement?!" Yan leaned on the railing and roared, almost chewing on blood and tears, as the strong wind whizzed past, like a dead ghost crying in the wind.

Emperor Wei seemed to have been punched head-on, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. The arrogance of the emperor disappeared in an instant, and he stripped off the coat of royal authority. The man in the yellow robe was just a Old and timid, an old man with a hollow heart full of evil thoughts.

"He is not wrong...you are not wrong...could it be me who is wrong?!"

Emperor Wei tore his throat and asked Yan to lean on the railing.

"He! He—a prince! How can he be above me? I am the emperor! The emperor of Wei! The people only know the prince, but they don't know me! Shouldn't he be killed?!"

Emperor Wei asked hoarsely, and when the words fell, he seemed to calm down suddenly, and laughed coldly: "I am the emperor of Wei, who can judge the life and death of the people in the world with one word, and he, Shao Tianheng, is also one of the people in the world. ?!"

He took a step back, scanned the surrounding area with sinister eyes, and ordered: "All officials lead the guards down the tower and retreat to the palace city!"

Some officials followed him, while others stood motionless. The messy cyan, red, and purple official uniforms passed by Yan Pinglan. When someone walked by, Yan Pinglan, who was kneeling, suddenly stretched out a hand to grab his hand. Clinging to a corner of the purple official uniform: "You can't go!"

The man who was caught staggered, lowered his head and glared at him, and cursed in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Let go!"

Yan's hand holding his clothes by the railing turned blue: "If you follow him, the Yan family will be finished!"

The man spoke quickly: "It's over if I don't leave! You have completely annoyed His Majesty this time, if I don't express my opinion, you will drag the Yan family into the water afterwards! How old is Zhuo Er? His younger brother was just born! Do you have the heart to let them die with you? Do you really think that Chu Zhang can do something? He just made a time difference, and there are still garrisons in the states around the capital, and you will see who will die and who will live!"

The corner of the clothes in Yan's hand was torn away by the railing. Looking at the back of the man going away, the young man kneeling on the ground closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Yan Leaning's warning was not wrong. Less than half an hour after some officials retreated into the palace with Emperor Wei, Chu Zhang led the army into the capital.

In the eyes of the prince's bereaved party, Chu Zhang is the prince's stepson, and the prince's love for him is seen by everyone, even if someone surrenders.

The family members of the officials in Beijing were quickly brought under control. Most of the ministers who hurriedly retreated into the palace had no time to take their family members away in the future, so they could only wait anxiously in the palace, unconsciously filled with resentment towards Emperor Wei.

Why poison the prince?

Why such a disaster?

Yan's three questions on the railing firmly stuck in their hearts, making them full of doubts about Wei Di's every move.

——A father who doesn't even trust his own children, a king who can't even tolerate such an excellent prince, who dares to put his wealth and life on him?

But Chu Zhang's behavior was more decisive than they imagined. He directly ordered the soldiers to tie up the families, wives and children of the officials in the palace, made them cry outside the palace, and declared that if the door was not opened, they would kill one person from each family every half an hour. .

This threat was vicious and obscene, but it was really useful. The ministers who were trapped in the Zhaoxian Hall of the palace immediately stood up, and the expressions on their faces changed.

Emperor Wei, who was stubbornly sitting on the dragon chair and defending his authority, noticed the commotion below, and stared at them coldly: "What, are you going to betray me?"

A dead silence.

Finally, the servant of the household department bowed his back and came out: "Your Majesty! The minister's wife died young, and there is no child left under her knees. The only family member left in the family is the only elderly mother. The mother has worked hard to raise the minister—"

Before he finished speaking, there were eager people next to him: "Your Majesty! I lost my parents when I was young, and I only got a son last year. The young breath is weak, and it is the lifeblood of the minister! Your Majesty also has children, so you should understand." The minister--"

Before he could finish his sentence, his arm was hit hard by his colleague.

What kind of words are not good, but why did you say the last sentence?

Your Majesty just had a son who died, and he forced him to die!

Isn't this mocking His Majesty?

Only then did the speaker realize that he had lost his sense in his haste, and he actually said the wrong thing, his legs went limp, and he knelt down.

It's fine if he doesn't kneel for a while, maybe Emperor Wei won't be so sensitive. Thinking of this, when he knelt down, he was actually reminding Emperor Wei what he had done. Look at the courtiers below.

However, before he could speak, a small eunuch came hurriedly from the harem, prostrated himself on the ground and wailed and reported: "Your Majesty! Concubine Zhuang has hanged herself and passed away!"

Wei Di's hands hidden under the big sleeves trembled. As if he didn't hear clearly, he leaned forward and asked again: "What did you say? Who died?"

The little eunuch repeated again: "Concubine Zhuang, I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was murdered in Changzhou. A quarter of an hour ago, a piece of white silk went with His Highness the Second Prince..."

Wei Di lost all energy and leaned back on the dragon chair, as if he had lost his soul.

The courtiers below looked at each other, and someone tiptoed back quietly and left the Zhaoxian Hall.

At first, there were only one or two people who slipped away quietly, and then more and more people left. At the back, no one cared about disturbing Emperor Wei who was sitting on top, and they almost rushed out.

The cries of the courtiers and family members lasted less than a stick of incense, and the heavy gate of the palace city was opened. Chu Zhang ignored the ministers who ran out in embarrassment, and rode into the palace alone, not crossing the Jinshui. The soldiers behind raised their hands and pointed to the distance in astonishment: "General, it's on fire!"

Chu Zhang reined in his horse and raised his head. Behind the numerous palaces, the most majestic and majestic palace had a column of gray and black smoke rising like a wind, wrapped in crimson tongues of flame, spreading out with lightning speed.

An inner eunuch stumbled out from that direction, saw Chu Zhang, fell to the ground in fright, and shouted in panic, "Your Majesty is dead!"

Chu Zhang clenched his teeth, whipped the whip hard on the ground, and shouted: "Fire!"

How dare he die so easily?With no burden, without any retribution... just die like this? !

How could he have the right to die like this? !

The fire in Miyagi burned for two days and one night that day, and the Zhaoxian Hall and several side halls were almost burned to the ground. There is still a whole body that is considered intact.

Chu Zhang stared at the corpse for a long time, raised his horsewhip and whipped it hard.

The shattered bones were beaten apart, and the scorched bones splashed everywhere, but no one dared to go up to stop this action.

Because his expression was too terrifying, his eyes were blood red, and his whole body was twisted so ferociously that it seemed that he was going to pounce on that horrible corpse in the next moment.

After venting crazily, Chu Zhang stopped, and said in a hoarse voice, "Drag it out, throw it away."

******

At the end of the autumn of the 20th year of Taihe in the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wei poisoned Prince Heng, and the prince fell to the Yongding Gate of the capital with his death in full view, and died.

Duke Dingnan Chuzhang led an army of [-] troops to conquer the capital. Emperor Wei Mo held fire and killed his body. The corpse was thrown into a mass grave. Later, Duke Dingnan raised the banner of the first prince to pacify the sixteen prefectures of Wei. Where the banner of the first prince passed, the city was lifted All down.

The following year, Chuzhang ascended to the Great Treasure, the country name was still Wei, and the year name was Changheng. Later generations called it the Chu-Wei Dynasty.
