The third emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was executed by Yang Qingyuan after ruling the empire for only six months. His posthumous title has not yet been determined.
Hundreds of innocent souls in Wannian County, hundreds of houses devoured by fire next to Yu Mansion, Emperor Taizongwen who was poisoned, Yu Yanyi who was unjustly killed, King Chu who committed suicide, all those who died because of Zhu Zhankun...
…
At this moment, everything came to an end. Yang Qingyuan personally ended a generation of emperors and became a member of the list of regicides in the annals of the Spring and Autumn Period.
After doing all this, Zhan Lujian was inserted into the ground by Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan turned towards Yu Yanyi's residence and knelt down on one knee.
According to folklore, the souls of the deceased will return to their homes during the first seven days. Although an hour and a half has passed since the first seven days, Yang Qingyuan believes that Yu Yanyi's soul has not gone far yet.
Master Yu, go slowly!
As Yang Qingyuan stood up, tonight's events were not over.
In the imperial study, Changsun Fuji, Li Hongyi, Cao Shouzhong, the eunuchs, and the palace ladies were kneeling on the ground, and they were crying in low tones.
When Queen Zhou Mingyu saw Zhu Zhankun being executed by Yang Qingyuan, she felt extremely sad and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Yang Qingyuan saw this, his figure suddenly disappeared and appeared next to Zhou Mingyu.
"Yang Qingyuan, you are such a traitor, how dare you be rude to the Queen?!"
Yang Qingyuan glanced at Li Hongyi who was scolding him, "Take it down!"
As Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Hongyi, the Grand Scholar of Jianji Palace, was captured by Yang Qingyuan.
Although he had no intention of rebellion, Yang Qingyuan was indeed at the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I didn't mean to offend the queen, I just wanted to check on her condition."
Yang Qingyuan pressed on Zhou Mingyu's pulse, and a stream of innate true energy was injected into his body.
It is indeed a congenital defect. No wonder Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai are unable to do anything about it. This disease is the same as ruthless legs. It is a congenital disease that is difficult to cure.
Now Yang Qingyuan actually has a way to cure it, but it is a pity that Yang Qingyuan has no way to cure it until now.
Yang Qingyuan perfected the Heaven-Mending Technique in the Great Compassion of Heaven and Earth to Conquer Yin and Yang, in order to cure congenital defects.
If he had a way to cure Zhou Mingyu three years ago, things probably wouldn't have reached this stage.
Yang Qingyuan glanced at Zhu Zhankun on the ground, or there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. Zhu Zhankun did not let Zhou Mingyu take the Tianchang Pill.
Zhu Zhankun took the Tianchang Pill just to give Zhou Mingyu a guarantee.
This makes the death of Emperor Taizong Wen even more ridiculous.
A stern look flashed in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, you want Zhou Mingyu to live and die with you, how can this wish be fulfilled for you!?
Yang Qingyuan not only wants to cure Zhou Mingyu, but also wants her to get married.
Although Yang Qingyuan adheres to the bottom line when doing things, it does not mean that there is no anger and hatred in his heart.
Since you, Zhu Zhankun, don't want to live apart, then let's let you die.
As the Xiantian True Yuan was injected into Zhou Mingyu's body, Zhou Mingyu's face suddenly looked much better.
Changsun Fuji also stood up slowly, "Qingyuan, no matter how wronged you are, you should not kill the emperor!"
There was no wavering or flickering in Yang Qingyuan's eyes.
"Lord Changsun, I didn't kill this thief out of personal grudges!"
"Alas..." Changsun Fuji, slightly stooped and wearing a purple-red official robe of the second rank, sighed: "Qingyuan, please do what you want!"
He didn't think Yang Qingyuan could escape tonight's coup.
With the political level of an old fox like Changsun Fuji, he knew what Yang Qingyuan was going to do next just by listening to the slogans shouted by the soldiers just now.
A decree was issued in the name of Queen Zhou Mingyu, appointing King Wu to succeed to the throne!
However, would the courtiers be willing to fool him like this? Especially since Yang Qingyuan also killed Zhu Zhankun tonight.
Since ancient times, those who kill kings rarely end well.
Zhu Zhankun's unjust killing of Yanyi naturally touched the bottom line of the civil service group, but Yang Qingyuan's killing of Zhu Zhankun also challenged the bottom line of the civil service group.
It is difficult for Yang Qingyuan to end.
"Thank you, Lord Changsun, for your concern!" Yang Qingyuan handed over his hand. Of course he knew the consequences of killing Zhu Zhankun.
But it would be the greatest injustice if Zhu Zhankun were alive.
"Fu Gong, what other people think has little impact on my decision. Only Spring and Autumn knows that I have sinned!"
Changsun Fuji knew Yang Qingyuan's character and didn't say much, so that his political wisdom would not involve him too much with Yang Qingyuan now.
After shaking his head, Changsun Fuji walked out of the palace.
Yang Qingyuan then looked at Li Hongyi, Cao Shouzheng and others, "Push them into the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and hand them over to the custody of Li Xunhuan, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After that, we will discuss their charges of manipulating power and framing them."
Li Hongyi and Cao Shouzheng were accomplices in the Yu Yanyi case, so naturally they would not be allowed to escape guilt.
After the soldiers escorted the two men away, Yang Qingyuan began to make the next arrangements.
Explained by the key points in the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, it is that the dragon has regrets, and it will not last long. Yang Qingyuan now holds the military power in the capital, and has overwhelming power, and is at the peak of power. But the next step is to go downhill.
It is easy to kill the emperor, but after killing Zhu Zhankun, it is not an easy task to ensure the orderly operation of the Zhou Dynasty and not to be politically liquidated.
"Xueyang, are you here?!"
"In the Longwu Military Camp."
This kind of army is a special existence in the Tiance Army. It is formed by absorbing orphans who were displaced due to the war, or widows whose husbands died in the war.
Everyone learns the art of medicine and martial arts, and is one of the two personal guards commanded by Cao Xueyang.
Another group is the Youlongqi. Because of the Battle of Jinyang, the reputation shocked the world. They were absorbed by the Royal Forest Army and then disbanded and reorganized.
Because of its special nature, the Women's Battalion was incorporated into the Longwu Army along with Cao Xueyang. We can't really let the Longwu Army be like Blue Star's Great Eagle Empire, with more generals than tanks!
"Take the tiger talisman and go to the Longwu Army to mobilize the women's camp and maintain the defense of the Daming Palace with General Han Buxi!"
"yes!"
After all, Daming Palace is a royal palace. Originally, the East and West Factory and Lijingmen were responsible for the defense of the inner palace, while the Dragon Scale Guards, the Imperial Guards of the Royal Forest Army, were responsible for the defense of the outer palace.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now that the imperial guards have been dispersed by Yang Qingyuan, and the head of the director of the West Factory is still on the ground, naturally there needs to be a trustworthy person to control the imperial city.
.
Yang Qingyuan walked out of the imperial study room, the night sky was deep and gray.
However, the raging flames were rising outside the Daming Palace, tearing apart the gloomy dark clouds and illuminating the dark night sky.
The embarrassed Governor Cao could finally stop. Although he was a veteran Dongxuan, he was really no match for Zhuang Xiaomeng if he really took action.
His Tiangang Boy Kung Fu suddenly had the ability to protect the body, but facing Zhuang Xiaomeng's dexterous Twenty-Four Solar Terms Shocking Divine Sword and Tianyi Four Symbol Art, Cao Zhengchun could only take a beating.
"I've met Yang Hou!"
Governor Cao felt aggrieved. He really didn't want to be an enemy of Yang Qingyuan, nor did he want to be beaten by Zhuang Xiaomeng, but he was a slave of the emperor, how could he watch the emperor being surrounded by rebels?!
But it was also because of his mentality that Yang Qingyuan had no intention of liquidating Cao Zhengchun.
At the beginning, Cao Zhengchun even assisted Yu Yanyi in tracing the true cause of death of the late Emperor Taizongwen. He was a useful person who could be left to Shisan's team.
"Director Cao, where is King Wei?!" Yang Qingyuan asked.
The King of Wei was the legitimate son of Emperor Taizong, and after the deaths of Zhu Zhankun and Zhu Zhangui, King Zhu Zhanjun of Wei was the only legitimate son. He was a stumbling block to the Thirteenth succession.
Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a moment. He knew that if Yang Qingyuan wanted to help King Wu ascend the throne, he must eliminate the hidden danger of King Wei.
Telling Yang Qingyuan the news about King Wei would be equivalent to driving King Wei to a dead end.
Yang Qingyuan also knew what Cao Zhengchun was hesitating about. Although he was somewhat greedy for power and greedy for profit, he was not a man who wielded power, and his loyalty to the late Emperor Taizong was unquestionable.
"Don't worry, Governor Cao, I am not a murderer."
Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Zhankun's body on the ground, and his head had already turned into a field.
I am not very confident in Yang Qingyuan's words.
But it makes sense! Yuhuatian was killed by Liu Meizi, and it really had nothing to do with Yang Qingyuan.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is underage and still living in the palace. I can send someone to take Marquis Yang there."
Yang Qingyuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble the governor!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Cao Zhengchun was a little panicked when you, a man who committed regicide and mutiny, were so polite to me.
The King of Wei was only nine years old at the moment, so he naturally lived in the palace for easy care. Only adult princes would open palaces and establish offices. After confirming their abilities, the emperor would dispatch them to the fiefdom.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, Yang Qingyuan led people to the palace of King Wei.
The cry of killing just now had already awakened the precocious prince, but when he saw Yang Qingyuan, King Wei couldn't help but tremble.
If Yang Qingyuan was really treasonous, he would naturally kill the Zhou family bloodline; if Yang Qingyuan was trying to support the King of Wu, he would not be allowed to live in the world either.
The King of Wei is not very old, but he knows very well that as long as he is still alive, the succession of Wu King Zhu Zhanhe to the throne will be unfair and his words will not be justified.
"Yanghou, the little king has admired Yanghou for a long time. If Yanghou will not give up, the little king is willing to worship Yanghou as his teacher."
Fortunately, I didn't want to worship Ming Gong as my adoptive father, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
King Wei's preemptive strike was beyond Yang Qingyuan's expectation.
"His Royal Highness is really smart and is a good emperor."
Smart people may not be good emperors, such as Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty on Blue Star.
But a good emperor must be a smart person.
The King of Wei is a person with this potential. For example, he took the initiative to worship Yang Qingyuan as his disciple.
Why was King Wu valued and supported by Yang Qingyuan?!
Isn’t it because Yang Qingyuan is the teacher of King Wu Zhu Zhanhe?!
Once King Wu ascends the throne, Yang Qingyuan will be the emperor's master.
But if the King of Wei also worships Yang Qingyuan as his disciple, he will be on the same starting line as the King of Wu to a certain extent, and supporting the King of Wei to become emperor is much less difficult than supporting a King of Wu.
If this wave of apprenticeships is successful, it will not only relieve the worries about life, but also maybe ascend the throne. For a nine-year-old child, this is already a rare thing.
But Yang Qingyuan shook his head. King Wei was too smart. Although he was young, he could see the ambition and desire for control in his eyes. He would never allow the imperial power to be weakened.
What Yang Qingyuan now needs is not a wise feudal emperor, but a system that can check and balance power.
Shi San is generous and benevolent, and has been taught by him. There is no better choice than Shi San.
Faced with King Wei's request, Yang Qingyuan shook his head.
King Wei's heart sank when he saw this. If Yang Qingyuan was unwilling to accept him as his disciple, then the only way left for King Wei would be death.
After all, he is a nine-year-old child, how can he be as calm as ever?!
Looking at the trembling King Wei, Yang Qingyuan's voice was like a spring breeze, calming down the fearful King Wei.
"Your Highness, don't panic. I have no intention of killing Your Highness. Why should Your Highness deserve it?"
Killing King Wei like this is really against Yang Qingyuan's bottom line, and there is no solution now.
"..." Zhu Zhanjun blinked, waiting for Yang Qingyuan to give his answer.
"Zhu Zhanjun does not have to die, but His Royal Highness the King of Wei must die!" Yang Qingyuan looked at Zhu Zhanjun, "Your Highness, do you understand what I mean!?"
King Wei was stunned. No matter how smart he was, he was still just a child.
"From today onwards, King Wei is dead. He died in the hands of the tyrant Zhu Zhankun. There is only Zhu Zhanjun in this world!"
Yang Qingyuan wants King Wei to die in the hearts of the world. He does not want King Wei to actually die, but to cause death in the social attributes of King Wei.
"I will send His Highness the King of Wei out of the palace, and then erase His Highness the name of the King of Wei from the jade certificate. From now on, His Highness is no longer the King of Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but just an ordinary person named Zhu Zhanjun."
"I do!" King Wei, who had just been on the verge of life and death, immediately agreed.
Yang Qingyuan nodded. He was not afraid that King Wei would do anything wrong.
The royal family also has a genealogy called the Jade Certificate, which has existed since the Tang Dynasty. The Jade Certificate of the Zhou Dynasty is revised every year.
The Emperor Zhou Hui Dian expressly stipulates:
In the East Palace, each person under the prince's throne will be given a twenty-character name. When children and grandchildren are born in the future, they will be informed and submitted to the clan. For the double names, one character will be chosen as the upper character in each life; the next character will be randomly selected temporarily.
As a double name, it was compiled into the jade certificate. After the twentieth generation, it was added as usual and became a permanent form.
Below the East Palace are: Gao Zhan Qi Jian You Hou Zai Yi often followed by Ci He Yi Bo Zhong Jian Jing Di Xian You.
Every prince's origin needs a jade certificate to prove it.
There is no name on the jade certificate. Even if you are really of the emperor's blood, no one will admit it.
For example, Xiao Tingsheng in Langya List is the son of the emperor's eldest son Xiao Jingyu, but even if Emperor Wu Jing knew about it, he could not restore his status as a royal bloodline. Because there was no jade record when he was born.
Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, very few people rejoined the royal family after being expelled.
The most legendary among them is Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty. He was the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty and the grandson of the violent prince Liu Ju. He was living among the people because of the witchcraft disaster.
After Emperor Wu learned about this in his later years, he made an exception and entered him into the royal list and restored his status.
This move also left behind a wise king for the former Han Dynasty, a wise king who brought the former Han Dynasty to its peak.
However, after the former Tang Dynasty, the review of royal status became more and more stringent, and this move was difficult to repeat.
So when Yang Qingyuan proved tonight that King Wei died in the sword, in the hearts of the people in the world, King Wei was already dead, and the only one who survived was Zhu Zhanjun.
Even if one day Zhu Zhanjun jumped out and claimed to be the King of Wei, no one would believe him.
"Then your Highness, please stay with me these days!"
Since then, King Wei has passed away, and Zhu Zhanjun is the only one in the world.
