The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

The capital is only about a hundred miles away from Iron Net Mountain, and the rebellion has only been going on for a few days, and the news from the capital has never been heard. What exactly did the prince do when he returned to the capital, the palace is still in a daze!

The next day, the news from Jingzhong came.

Jia Daishan has always been highly trusted by the saints, and the saints naturally have Jia Daishan in their hands. Before knowing that the crown prince has returned to the capital, Jia Daishan, as the governor of the Beijing camp, immediately led people to chase after him. There were also people who took refuge in the crown prince. Jia Daishan took some trouble to deal with the rebellion in the Beijing camp and met the prince who had been preparing for a long time.

Although the crown prince said that he was well prepared, the only people he contacted were those people. They looked prominent, but in fact, there were not many serious soldiers on hand, not to mention there were still a lot of scumbags. There was no real benefit, so he wanted them to do it. This kind of thing, isn't this a joke?

What's more, the Jia family was originally connected with many nobles, and now it is very simple to mobilize the Jia family's connections, not to ask them to follow Jia Daishan to attack people, as long as they stand by and watch.

Jia Daishan also put his life on the line, together with the only remaining veterans and servants in the Rongning Second Mansion, they fought hard for several days with the prince's soldiers and horses, and finally forced the prince into the East Palace. The two sides were at a stalemate down.

No matter what, the rebellion was settled down, and the saint didn't bother to stay in Iron Net Mountain any longer, so he just got up and drove back to Beijing, and the next step was to settle accounts after autumn and reward meritorious deeds.

There is no greater merit than rescuing him. As soon as Jia She came home, the imperial decree from the Ministry of Rites came down. Jia She was directly conferred the title of Marquis of Anle, which will last for three generations, and the previous title of Viscount Shunping was also retained. According to the meaning of the saint, Jia Amnesty can pass this title to another son.

The title of An Lehou is called Jia She, and his expression is a bit strange, as if he is a villain or cannon fodder in a certain storybook, which is really not auspicious.This is actually a bad taste of a sage. Before he thought about Jia She's ability, it would not be a problem to enter the military department or take a position in the Imperial Guard. As a result, Jia She said directly that he didn't want to be an official. One reason is that I have only a little bravery, and the other reason is that he is lazy by nature. Asking him to go to the court every day is almost like killing him half of his life. Therefore, the sage gave Jia a pardon for a moment when he had a bad taste. Such a title.

Jia Amnesty's reward came down quickly. After all, he was the one who rescued him, and there was nothing else. As for the others, it was not so simple. We had to wait until the dust settled.

The day before the sage returned to Beijing, the crown prince committed suicide by swallowing gold in the East Palace. The crown princess followed her with a white silk and hung herself in her bedroom, leaving only her eleven or twelve-year-old son. The concubine didn't have the courage, but waited for their fate in the East Palace.

After all, the sage still had some father-son affection for the prince. When he heard that the prince committed suicide, he was silent for a long time.The living will never be able to compete with the dead to a certain extent. The saint has always been very grateful for the empress Yuan who once shared joys and sorrows with the saint. As for the prince, because the empress Yuan died young, he has always grown up beside the saint. , although the saint has very complicated feelings these years. On the one hand, he feels that he is not dead yet, and this son wants to usurp the throne. On the other hand, he feels that the prince is useless and narrow-minded. Good thing.

In particular, Tu Mingzhao left a suicide note before his death. People who are about to die speak well. Tu Mingzhao had already thought about it at the beginning. However, Tu Mingzhao also had some compassion for his wife and children, so he simply thought of using his own death to let the sage spare his wife and children.

Tu Mingzhao grew up beside the sage, and he probably has the deepest understanding of the sage among all the princes. In his suicide note, he bluntly stated that for so many years, as a prince, he was trembling and walking on thin ice. He was born with less and less love for himself, but he blamed himself more and more, which made him feel injustice in his heart, and finally made him never look back because of this mistake.In his suicide note, he talked about the past again, only saying that he wished he could still be the same child as before, all he needed to do was act coquettishly by your father's side.

In short, Tu Mingzhao grasped the sage's psychology, and moved his emotions in the suicide note, causing the sage to see him and burst into tears on the spot. He insisted on running to the East Palace, saw Tu Mingzhao for the last time, and finally supported him again. The coffin wept bitterly, almost unable to restrain itself.

The arrangement of Tu Mingzhao before his death played a considerable role. After returning from the East Palace, the sage directly ordered someone to draw up an edict to abolish Tu Mingzhao's position as the crown prince, posthumously confer the title of Prince Yizhong, and marry the prince who committed suicide. Together with the concubine, they were still buried in the imperial mausoleum according to the standards of the prince and concubine, and Tu Mingzhao's eldest son was directly named the king of Yizhong County. When Prince Yizhong was buried, he moved out of the East Palace and moved into the palace. , After reaching adulthood, according to the rules of the clan, they will be divided into titles.

To be honest, this title is simply too ironic. If Tu Mingzhao conspired to commit suicide, how could he be loyal or righteous?The people in the Ministry of Rites didn't raise any objections, but the sage said coldly: "If I chase after my son, it won't work if I use a better title?" As a result, the matter was settled like this.

Tu Mingzhao had a good result. Although the Yizhong County King was afraid that he would not see freedom for a long time, he managed to save his life and was not deposed as a commoner. There is no problem with the title of some county kings.

However, there were no such good things for the other few who followed suit.

Just talking about the prince, the saint is grateful for Tu Mingzhao, thinking that when Tu Mingzhao said in his suicide note that he was the prince, he was targeted by many brothers in every possible way, so he naturally transferred his anger to the other sons.Tu Mingchang also committed suicide. As a result, this person died without good results. He was directly demoted to the common people and was not allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb. Tu Mingchang's branch was directly expelled. The same was true for Xu, his family was expelled from their nationality and reduced to ordinary people, and the two families were escorted to the imperial mausoleum to guard their spirits.

In the end, "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright", Tu Mingxin, who also arrested Tu Mingxu as a testimonial, failed to get a good word, and was directly reprimanded for having no brotherhood, filial piety and unrighteousness, and ordered him to study behind closed doors.Tu Mingxin was originally named the Prince of Rui, but this time the position of the Prince could not be kept, and he was directly demoted to two ranks. He didn't even join the county king, and became a Duke of the State without even a title.

At least the few princes are not in danger of their lives, and the group of people who followed them in rebellion obviously did not have such a good thing. Such a serious crime is an unforgivable crime, and it will also implicate the whole family.First, he followed the prince's group of people, and then he suffered from seedlings.

Cheng Engong's family was also involved in this matter. As a result of the first trial, it was found that Cheng Engong's mansion was not supporting the crown prince, but the eldest prince Tu Mingchang. A group of people were suddenly dumbfounded.

Tu Mingchang is the eldest son of a sage. His biological mother died young, and he was posthumously named Concubine Ping. He was raised by the Empress Yuan for a period of time, and he was also raised by the Empress for a period of time. Close, yet in fact always had a deep connection.

The most important thing is that there is a meaning of queen here. The current queen is a successor, but she has never had a child.That's fine, but I don't know where I found out that before letting me enter the palace, my good sister directly ordered someone to sterilize her, so that she has been childless since then.Therefore, I actually hated the Empress Yuan and the prince deeply in my heart.

Tu Mingchang didn't know where he found out about this, and he reached an agreement with the queen directly. Tu Mingchang's mother's family didn't show up, and there weren't even a few people who could afford it. He had also been raised by the Queen's side for a few days, and he had some feelings for the Queen. The Queen hated Yuan Empress Tu Mingzhao's mother and son so much that they hit it off immediately.

On the Cheng'en mansion, it is reasonable to say that they are all daughters of their own family, with fleshy palms and backs. No matter how close Tu Mingchang is to the queen, the Song family is not his natal family, but the problem is that the crown prince and Cheng'en mansion are actually not so close. Close, even the eldest son of Cheng'en Gong's mansion once blamed the prince for a while, it was very unlucky for a while, the Empress Yuan died early, and he was not close to Tu Mingzhao afterwards, so naturally Tu Mingzhao and Cheng'en's mansion were not too close. Tu Mingzhao didn't trust Cheng'en Gongfu very much, and the Song family didn't get much benefit from Tu Mingzhao.

Comparing the two sides, Tu Mingchang is full of sincerity. Tu Mingchang's concubine has been lingering on the sick bed. Tu Mingchang promised that as long as he can achieve great things, the queen must come from the Song family. When he is about to become a prime minister, the Song family will naturally be tempted.As a descendant, the Song family had had enough, obviously the whole family had abilities, seeing that Song Jiaping, as the youngest son of the first line, grew up with a lot of love and love, and he was able to raise both civil and military skills.As a result, the sage has been suppressing them, and he is not stingy with titles, but don't even think about real power.Tu Mingchang gave enough face, and after the Song family discussed it, they completely fell in favor of Tu Mingchang, and then Song Jiaping took the crown prince's blame for the assassination.

After knowing this, the sage was about to explode with anger, felt even more guilty towards Tu Mingzhao, and directly made Tu Mingzhao's second son a county king, and then directly angered the Song family and his successors.

As early as when he knew that the Song family was taken down, he knew that something was wrong. He was a little lucky at first, but the Song family recruited such a thing, obviously he could not be spared, and he was also a straightforward person. Put the Yinzhong Palace Notes and so on in the box, and put it in the main hall. I washed it myself, and wore the queen's full set of court clothes. If there is hope for a child, then I will destroy her child too, and it is fair and reasonable!" After saying this, the queen died.

Following this, the sage had nowhere to vent his anger. In the end, the originally respectable Cheng'en Gong Mansion in Beijing disappeared, and all adult males were beheaded, and all the rest were exiled. Fangsi was a slave, and Beijing was shocked for a while.
