Although the scholar rebellion failed for ten years, the scholar's angry behavior can cause headaches for those in power...
The students of the Imperial College are not ordinary scholars. Those who can enter the Imperial College must have at least one father or uncle who is a fifth-rank official in their family. Compared with ordinary scholars, the students of the Imperial College have more than one level of skills and knowledge.
When the families of the victims made trouble in the Imperial College, "just" students immediately came out to take the lead in protecting the safety of these people. At the same time, they organized student demonstrations, demanding that the government severely punish the murderer, and demanding that the government find out the identity of the deceased in Xu Yuan as soon as possible.
It's fair.
The case of Xuyu'an Bone Pit was finally suppressed with the passage of time. Now it has been brought out again. Even if the government wants to suppress it, it can't be suppressed.
It's like a blowout. The Xu Yu'an case was so tightly covered before, but now it's so scary when it comes out...
Why is there a murderer who specializes in cannibalism in the capital? The bones in the pit of bones are all children who were eaten alive by the murderer;
Why are there special abductors who specialize in abducting children and then selling them to the murderers to satisfy their appetites?
What kind of murderer who eats human flesh has the backing of dignitaries, so the case is suppressed again and again, and no one is interrogating him.
…
At first, these rumors were only about the case itself, but soon, under the manipulation of interested people, the rumors were directed at King Rong. It was said that King Rong was the murderer who ate raw human flesh, so the government did not dare to investigate; before, the soul bird in the palace died suddenly, that is
A warning from God...
Although these rumors became more and more serious, they did not put much pressure on the court. What really caused the emperor a headache was that officials from the Zhou and Zhao factions kept making excuses to impeach King Rong.
In just two days, the papers for the impeachment of King Rong were piled up on the table. In the words of those civil servants, King Rong had become a wicked and murderous demon who would not be able to vent the people's anger unless he was cut into pieces with thousands of swords...
…
Of course, King Rong's evil intentions towards the throne were repeatedly mentioned by civil officials. These people wanted to tell the emperor that the emperor wanted to be a loving father, but King Rong was not a filial son.
Overnight, twenty people were assassinated in the capital. King Rong was by no means a soft-hearted person. Today, King Rong could sneak into the palace and kill civilians, and tomorrow he could sneak into the official residence and kill the officials who impeached him; the day after tomorrow, he could sneak into the palace and assassinate the emperor.
…
One by one, what King Rong did was magnified again and again by everyone, and even a joke was regarded as proof that the throne was unruly.
As if to prove the words in the booklet, the civil servants who were the most violent in the impeachment were silenced that night, leaving no trace of chickens or dogs in the house...
Overnight, seven imperial officials were assassinated by unknown persons, and more than a hundred people died. All the houses were burned down, but the perpetrators could not be found...
At the same time, the scholars in Beijing became angry. This group of righteous people who had read poetry and books could not watch the murder of King Rong. A group of students got entangled and sat quietly at the gates of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
They gathered around and asked the court to give the deceased justice...
The entire capital was in complete chaos, and everyone was in danger. Even the kings of Zhou and Zhao looked extremely ugly. They stayed behind closed doors and warned their officials not to act rashly for the time being, because the matter was out of their control.
Yes, things are no longer under the control of King Zhou and King Zhao. It was King Zhou and King Zhao’s plan to kill those civilians, but it was not King Zhao and King Zhou’s plan to assassinate the court ministers. The two of them didn’t even know who it was.
Succeed?
Don’t doubt that although King Zhao and King Zhou did not deal with King Rong, they never thought that it was King Rong who assassinated the imperial official. Anyone with any brains knows that something will happen to those who impeached King Rong. Nine times out of ten, something will happen to them.
Suspicion was raised on King Rong. King Rong was stupid and didn't want to live, so he let people assassinate these officials.
King Zhao and King Zhou would think so, and the old emperor naturally thought of this too. The old emperor couldn't believe that there was a powerful force that he didn't know about hidden in the capital, which could kill countless people overnight without leaving any trace.
The old emperor was completely angry!
The old emperor could tolerate Prince Rong killing people and silencing them, but he could never tolerate a powerful force that he didn't know was committing crimes in the capital. The old emperor finally stopped being silent and immediately ordered a strict investigation without any tolerance.
But, there is no evidence!
No matter whether it was the Jin Yiwei or the Ministry of Punishment, nothing could be found. The murderer who assassinated the seven officials seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air. No matter how Jin Yiwei searched, they could not find a single clue...
There is no evidence and no clues. King Rong is the biggest suspect. King Rong can't explain anything. The emperor is also shaken at this time. He suspects that King Rong is self-defeating and deliberately misleading everyone...
The old emperor was very disappointed with King Rong, but just when he was about to investigate King Rong, another murder occurred!
King Rong wrote a confession with blood. He wrote down the crimes he had committed, how much he regretted it, and how outrageous his mistakes were. In addition, there were also those things that were not framed by others for what he did. King Rong also wrote them one by one.
Ming, the most eye-catching among them are the two murder cases in the capital...
King Rong wrote in a blood letter that although he had committed a heinous crime, he would not take the blame for others. Whether he killed those people or the seven officials, it was not done by King Rong. He was willing to die to prove his will and prove himself.
of innocence...
It's just a blood letter, it doesn't mean anything, but King Rong committed suicide, and his death proved that every word of the blood letter he wrote was true!
After King Rong finished writing the blood letter, he asked his son to present it to the emperor on his behalf. When the prince entered the palace with the blood letter, King Rong personally beheaded his five sons and three daughters. Princess Rong also hanged herself...
After King Rong finished all this, he also committed suicide with his sword. When the prince came back from the palace, he saw all the masters of Prince Rong's palace dead on the ground, and King Rong fell in a pool of blood, dying with his eyes open!
The prince immediately cried and fainted. When the news reached the palace, Prince Rong's mother, Concubine Xian, fell to the ground. When she woke up, she immediately left the palace to go to Prince Rong's palace...
The old emperor couldn't stop him and didn't want to stop him. He went to Prince Rong's Mansion with Concubine Xian and saw that the former rich and powerful Prince Rong's Mansion was now a hell. All the masters of Prince Rong's Mansion died tragically...
"Ah... Fourth child, how could you, how could you leave your mother and concubine, how could you." Concubine Xian instantly aged more than ten years, fell to the ground and cried loudly while hugging Prince Rong's body...
"Your Majesty, my son, my son was forced to death by those people, my son!"
"Your Majesty, my son died so unjustly!"
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for our mother and son!"
Concubine Xian held the body of King Rong and cried until she cried tears of blood...
The old emperor was originally angry with King Rong for gathering troops and wanted to rebel, but when he saw that all of King Rong's family, except the prince, died tragically in the palace, the old emperor lost his temper no matter how angry he was...
