Jiusi smiled and nodded her little head: "What are you thinking about all day long?
How can anyone participate in royal secrets? If your girl and I really got involved in this matter, that would be bad!
Basically, few of those who participated in and witnessed these things have a good ending. If I really go, when the emperor settles the accounts afterwards, not to mention it is an imperial edict, even our lives may not be safe."
Yue Yue wanted to say that with their abilities, they would not be afraid even if the emperor settled the accounts afterwards, but the girl's face showed disapproval, so she could only keep her mouth shut honestly.
After sitting for a while, Jiu thought that he had nothing to do today, so he might as well go to the kitchen to tinker with some new food, so he took March into the small kitchen.
The rebellion might not succeed even if the emperor didn't know about it, let alone if it was anticipated.
The reason why the emperor had been holding back was just waiting for the sixth prince's choice.
He wanted to know whether the son he loved most would choose him as his father or the position under his butt in the end.
But the final result still disappointed him.
Because the Sixth Prince would rather choose a rebellion that was almost impossible to succeed than leave according to his arrangements. After all, his good son was still reluctant to part with the supreme power.
At night, the emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, stood quietly on the palace wall, looking at his son who was constantly fighting with people below the city. For the first time, he understood the painful and unspeakable mood of the Supreme Emperor when the prince rebelled.
As the sound of fighting gradually disappeared, the dazzling silver armor lost its former luster, leaving only traces and the thick accumulation of blood.
At this time, the Sixth Prince had lost his former grace. His clothes, which had always been clean and tidy, were now as torn and dirty as the armor he wore. The horse he was riding under him had long since lay down, holding a hand in his hand.
His weapons were all chipped, and even his elegant and handsome face was stained with blood due to scars, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
The emperor led his people down from the city wall, and what they saw was him in such a mess. But now, he no longer had the emotion of feeling sorry for him in the past, only disappointment and indifference.
He came to the Sixth Prince with an expressionless face and asked in an indifferent tone: "An'er, is this what you want?"
The Sixth Prince wanted to say that this was not what he wanted. He originally wanted to follow his arrangement and leave, but in the end he couldn't hold back the greed in his heart and did this wrong thing.
He wanted his father to spare him one more time and give his beloved son another chance as he had done before.
But he understood that that was impossible.
He also wanted to complain to him about how unfair his father was to him, but after careful calculation, his father was the fairest to him, except that he didn't let him become the emperor.
But he can't blame anyone else. It was him who failed to live up to his expectations and his father didn't choose him. It was his fault.
Therefore, he opened his mouth several times and only shouted: "Father..."
But this time, his father didn't respond. He just looked at him steadily and then turned around and left.
The sixth prince didn't expect him to react like this. After being stunned for a while, he realized that his father completely no longer wanted his son.
At that moment, he realized what he had lost?
There is no family affection in the royal family. Even the biological father and son are more defensive and calculating than anything else. He is the only one whose father has given him sincere love. Even though he has made many mistakes, he has not given up on him and is still planning a way out for him.
But now, he personally severed their father-son relationship.
He slumped on the ground slumped, staring quietly at the retreating figure, unable to speak for a long time.
The general on the side thought that he was afraid that he would be executed, so he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the Holy Father has already made a decree. He will not kill you for the sake of your father and son, but you must be imprisoned in the capital and cannot leave."
When the Sixth Prince heard this, he did not raise his head to look at him, he just stared blankly at the ground and murmured: "Aren't you going to kill him?
I've rebelled against you, yet you still haven't killed me?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing, until he burst into laughter: "Hehehe...hehehe...hahaha..."
"It's good not to kill anyone, and it's good not to be trapped..."
When the soldiers on the side saw him, they didn't dare to say anything. Even if he was now a prisoner, he was still the son of the emperor. It didn't matter if he didn't watch the rebellion!
After a long time, just when the emperor's figure was about to disappear at the palace gate, he suddenly shouted: "Father, I know I was wrong..."
Then, before anyone could react, he picked up the long knife without the scabbard on the ground and wiped his neck.
By the time everyone reacted and wanted to reach out to stop him, the person had already fallen to the ground.
When the emperor heard the noise coming from behind him, he paused for a moment and then walked away without looking back.
Perhaps, he had already expected this result!
Returning to the palace, he chased away all the palace guests, but when there was only one person, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He didn't want to let him die, and he didn't want to be like the Supreme Emperor, who only regretted it after the person was gone.
But at the same time, he knew very well that his temperament simply could not bear the pain of confinement.
How can a person who has been used to doing whatever he wants since he was a child endure a life where he can only stay in a yard for the rest of his life and have to be watched by others.
Therefore, he let himself choose again, whether to be humiliated and imprisoned, or to die with dignity.
In the end, he chose the outcome he least wanted.
Such a big thing happened in the palace, so it was impossible to hide it from the Supreme Emperor on the other side.
When he learned what had happened, he sighed deeply, ordered someone to see his son who was suffering from the same disease, and then went to the former residence of the late prince to see things and think about people.
Contrary to the two emperors, the other concubines were very happy to hear the news, especially the concubines of the princes who had grown up. They had the news sent out of the palace overnight.
Although they were very happy that their son had lost an obstacle, in order to avoid the emperor's displeasure, they still had to make preparations in advance, at least not to let their son outside the palace reveal any flaws.
By the morning of the second day, the corpses piled up last night had long been cleared away, and even the blood-stained ground and city walls had been washed away by the palace people.
If the ministers hadn't smelled the vague smell of blood in the air when they passed by, they might not have known that so many people had died here.
Because of the Sixth Prince's rebellion, the court today was extremely quiet. No one dared to say anything except for reading out the results of the handling of the Sixth Prince's faction.
The blood in the palace was cleaned up, but the place outside the palace where the prisoners were executed was stained with blood again.
A party is always composed of more than just a few people. In order to completely eliminate the members of the Sixth Prince's faction, in the next half month, there was no peace inside and outside the capital. Officials were investigated, arrested, and killed almost every day.
Under such a major purge, officials naturally began to be in short supply, so officials from various places who wanted to return to Beijing began to establish connections.
