Chapter 1,190: A major conspiracy with wide implications
In the villa of Jia's provincial relatives outside the city.
Jia Yuanchun accepted the prayers from everyone in the Jia family and began to chat with his family about daily life.
Because of Su Mingzhe's secret care, Jia Yuanchun lived a good life in Fengzao Palace. Especially after becoming pregnant, Emperor Longqing became somewhat sincere towards her.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun is not as miserable as in the original plot now. When facing his family, he can still talk and laugh freely.
It's Haishi in a blink of an eye.
The palace attendant reminded Jia Yuanchun that it was time to rest.
Jia Yuanchun had just reunited with his family, how could he want to rest like this?
However, she is pregnant now and cannot stay up late.
Everyone was in a stalemate for a moment.
Xue Baochai, who was still standing by the side, suddenly spoke and said that Mrs. Wang could rest with Concubine Yuan.
This compromise was appreciated by Jia Yuanchun and Mrs. Wang.
The palace people did not dwell on these minor details.
Everyone in Jia's house dispersed, leaving Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun sleeping on the same bed.
Mother and daughter slept together, but neither could fall asleep.
After a while, Jia Yuanchun suddenly turned sideways and asked his mother:
"Mom, my daughter has come home, why are you not happy all the time?"
Mrs. Wang didn't want to speak at first, but when her daughter asked, she casually said:
"Actually, I'm not unhappy. It's just that when I saw my family reunited today, I suddenly thought of your elder brother."
When Jia Yuanchun heard his mother mention his eldest brother Jia Zhu, he couldn't help but feel lonely and depressed:
"My eldest brother has been smart since he was a child. If he were still here, there would be two Jinshis in our family."
When Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter was saddened by what she said and felt distressed that her daughter was still pregnant, she changed the subject and asked:
"Forget about your eldest brother, did anyone bully you while you were in the palace?"
"No, mother, I am now the Minister of Fengzao Palace. I am the biggest in the harem. I just don't bully others. Who dares to bully me?"
Jia Yuanchun naturally reported good things to his family but not bad things.
The year before last, when she had just been made a virtuous concubine, someone did speak strangely in front of her.
However, in the past year, people who dared to talk nonsense in front of him have basically disappeared.
The mother and daughter just chatted for nearly an hour, reporting each other's good news or bad news. They saw that the third watch was almost over before they fell asleep.
The next day, the Lantern Festival.
Jia Yuanchun first accepted the prayers from everyone, had breakfast, and then visited the provincial residence with his family.
Different from the [Grand View Garden] in the original plot, this courtyard is located in the south of Chang'an City, near Zhongnan Mountain, with mountains and rivers.
And because there are many geothermal hot springs, flowers are already blooming here even though it is only mid-January.
As Jia Yuanchun became more and more interested in traveling, he asked his sisters to write poems about the scenery in the mountains.
Su Mingzhe, Sister Bao, Sister Lin, Sanchun, etc. wrote one by one.
In order to make the eldest sister happy, Su Mingzhe even copied several famous works of later generations.
Jia Yuanchun was naturally overjoyed to see his brother's literary talents. He copied it himself and prepared to take it back to the palace and give it to the emperor for appreciation.
So many people played until noon.
Jia Yuanchun gave him a banquet first and then watched a play.
The twelve little actors Jia Qiang brought back from Gusu were babbling and singing. Although they were not as good at singing as Dajiao, they were lively and cute, which was quite amusing.
A quarter past three in the afternoon.
The internal officials reminded that it was time to return to the palace, and Jia Yuanchun burst into tears and waved goodbye to everyone in the Jia family.
After sending Jia Yuanchun away, everyone in the Jia Mansion also returned to Rong Ning's Second Mansion.
At this time, everyone in the Jia Mansion learned that the two princes, Prince Yi and Prince Jing, were imprisoned in the clan mansion.
"This emperor is really ruthless. If he becomes ruthless, he won't even spare his own son!"
Although Su Mingzhe praised Emperor Longqing, his eyes flashed fiercely:
"Emperor Dog, do you think you should lock up your two sons?
Is the matter over? If you have the ability, try locking up the other two sons too!"
In early February of the seventh year of Longqing.
Emperor Longqing canonized the eldest prince, Prince Cheng, as the crown prince.
Mid February.
Emperor Longqing asked the seventh prince, King De, to leave the capital and join the feudal clan.
King De ostensibly accepted the order, packed his bags, and prepared to leave Chang'an City.
But the day before leaving Chang'an City, King De suddenly led eight hundred dead men into the East Palace, stabbed to death the prince who had just been in office for ten days, and the prince's two sons. Then he broke into the clan's mansion and killed King Yi and King Jing. Killed.
After receiving the news, the Imperial Guards arrived and surrounded the Zongren Mansion. They saw King De laughing, madly, walking out of the gate and shouting:
"I am my father's only son now. You can't kill me. If you kill me, my father will be extinct!"
After King De said this, he allowed the imperial guards to tie him tightly and press him into the sky prison.
When Emperor Longqing finally realized that his three sons and two grandsons had all been killed by King De, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
King De's rebellion caused great controversy in the Daqing government and the public.
A group of ministers got together and petitioned Emperor Longqing Lingchi to execute King De.
Emperor Longqing saw these cheats, but he really couldn't kill King De.
Just as King De said, he is now the only son of the emperor.
If King De is killed and something unexpected happens to Emperor Longqing, it will be truly unparalleled.
Therefore, King De not only cannot die, but also needs to be protected.
"Just keep these memorials in mind. As for King De, this evil beast..."
Emperor Longqing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said:
"I will be imprisoned in the sky prison first, and I will order Yousi to find out how he colluded with the White Lotus Sect..."
Xia Shouzhong got the order, but for a while he didn't go to deliver it. Instead, he made a plop, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times:
"Your Majesty, I have found out a piece of news and dare not not report it. Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
"What news?"
Emperor Longqing asked himself that he had already experienced the pain of losing his son, and nothing could hit him again.
When Xia Shouzhong saw that the emperor asked him to speak, he took a deep breath, then tremblingly, he spoke:
"My servant has found out... that some of the ministers who requested the execution of King Toku were ordered by Prince Uichi-tada, and some were contacted by Prince Chung-shun!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors! As expected, they are all rebellious ministers and traitors!"
Emperor Longqing felt a twinge of pain in his chest, and then a fishy smell surged up in his throat, but he swallowed it back immediately, with a violent and ferocious light flashing in his eyes:
"Check, as long as there is real evidence, everything will be treated as treason!"
"Here!"
Xia Shouzhong sighed, turned around and left.
Prince Yohitada is the son of the former crown prince and the nephew of the current emperor. If nothing unexpected happens, the world should belong to Prince Yohitada.
Therefore, Prince Yohitada contacted the ministers and wanted to kill King Toku, which can be regarded as having a reason.
However, Prince Zhongshun is the younger brother of Emperor Longqing. If Prince De is killed...well, if Emperor Longqing loses his son, there is a high probability that a scene of "brothers will eventually become brothers" will be staged.
Therefore, Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yi Zhong both had reasons to incite officials and force Emperor Longqing to execute King Deok.
However, Emperor Longqing really did not dare to kill King De.
In the end, the investigation of King De's rebellion took three months.
Until May.
Concubine Yuan of Fengzao Palace suddenly gave birth to the tenth prince.
Only then did Emperor Longqing have his people settle the case of King De's rebellion.
After three months of investigation, many people who were arrested kept biting and biting, which led to a wide range of implication. Not only the two parties of Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Zhongshun were implicated, but also innocent officials and hundreds of people were sentenced to death row. .
July.
There are various people involved in the major case of King De's rebellion. There are more than 40 principal culprits in total. Including the nine tribes, there are more than 3,000 people in total.
All were beheaded in public display.
In addition, about 50,000 people were implicated and were sent to the border as slaves and sent to the Jiaofang Division to sell themselves.
Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, had a concubine daughter, Shi Yuehua, who was taken as a concubine by Prince Zhongshun, so she was also implicated.
In the end, the entire Jinling historians were involved.
Baolinghou Shi Naiman's family and Shi Xiangyun were all implicated.
When Jia's mother learned that her parents' family had been implicated, her spirit almost collapsed.
It was Su Mingzhe who called on Rong Ning's second house to contribute money and effort, and spent a lot of money to buy many Shi family members as slaves, so that the Shi family could not have heirs.
When Jia Mu saw the rescued female relatives of the Shi family, she couldn't help covering her face and crying:
