Zhang Yuan arrived with a royal voice, and everyone in the main hall knelt down. Even Xuan Tianming, who had always been disrespectful of dignity, had a serious look on his face, respectful and serious.````
Feng Yuheng pulled Xiangrong to kneel down and shouted together with all the ministers: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After the bowing stopped, and after a long while, Emperor Tianwu finally walked up to the high platform above the main hall, faced all the ministers and ministers and sat under the dragon chair, and then gently raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please get down."
People stood up again, but still lowered their heads. Everyone was guessing that after the turmoil and a day's rest, things finally returned to normal today. What would Emperor Tianwu do?
What kind of decision.
Someone cast their eyes secretly towards the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi, and saw that the man had a calm face, but his eyes no longer had the same brilliance and expectation as before, they were dead gray and lifeless.
Some people also took a look at where Feng Yuheng and Feng Xiangrong were, thinking that if the Lord of Ji'an County went to court, there would be something to gain.
Of course, people were not surprised that Feng Yuheng gained benefits from Tianwu. After all, Feng Yuheng’s achievements were so great that he deserved any kind of commendation. They were just wondering whether the emperor would give him any kind of reward today.
As the ministers had guessed, they would take this opportunity to declare the crown prince.
Everyone had doubts in their hearts. Tianwu didn't speak for a long time after he sat down. He only glanced down with cold eyes. When his eyes fell on Xuan Tianyi, he couldn't hide the desolation and disappointment.
Xuan Tianyi was also a little moved. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
The first person to stand up and break up this embarrassing situation was Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan. As the parent official of the capital, he went to court again after such a big event, holding two documents in his hand. One of them was written above
It is about the pursuit and elimination of enemy parties after the turmoil, and the other one is about his apology and voluntary resignation.
He walked out of the team of ministers and stood in the middle of the hall. He took two steps forward and handed the fold in his hand to the eunuch who was delivering the goods. Then he lifted his official robe and knelt in the hall. He said loudly: "There is turmoil in the capital. After investigation,
The source was finally identified as the third prince Xuan Tianye and the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi. In addition, Bu Cong, the commander of the eastern border infantry, and Duan Muqing, the deputy commander of the northern border, were also involved. Duan Muqing, the guilty minister, had died during the rebellion.
Under the command of His Highness the Ninth Prince, the two princes have also been arrested. Only Na Bucong is still on the run. The people in the capital were slightly disturbed, but the harm was not great. They have now returned to normal life. I have ordered people to strengthen patrols inside and outside the city.
Defend to ensure that the capital is worry-free." After saying these words, he solemnly kowtowed to Tianwu three times, and then said: "I have been appointed to the post of Jing Zhaoyin. Over the past few months, I have worked conscientiously to relieve the emperor's worries and benefit the people. It is a great achievement.
The blame cannot be offset. The reason why this turmoil occurred is ultimately my fault. I did not ask for mercy from the emperor, but voluntarily resigned from my important position, and voluntarily plead guilty and died. I only hope that the emperor can allow me to help His Highness Nine to investigate this case.
, give an explanation to the emperor and the people, and by then, I will die and rest in peace."
He was serious when he said it, and he had no intention of being greedy at all. Tianwu knew that Xu Jingyuan was with his family, Lao Jiu. He was a decent man, knew right from wrong, hated evil as much as he hated evil, and was quick and neat in doing things, so it was natural to kill him like this.
It was reluctant to give up. But there was such a big chaos in Beijing. As a parent official, it was impossible for him to not pay any price. Fortunately, this man was not confused and offered to try the case first and then seek death penalty.
It gave him a chance to relax.
Tianwu nodded and said: "It's accurate." There was no unnecessary nonsense. Just like today's morning meeting, Tianwu had already thought about what he should say and do, including what Xu Jingyuan did, which was actually what he expected.
Seeing Xu Jingyuan thanking him and retreating to the ranks of ministers, he coughed twice and cleared his throat, and finally spoke again, making a final statement on something that people had been speculating on. He said -
- "Prince Xiang's Mansion will be returned to the treasury from now on. The servants, wives and concubines in the mansion will be sent to the frontier as slaves and will never be allowed to return to the capital. On the night of Xuantian, Prince Xiang, he will be stripped of his title and demoted to common people. Three days later, he will be beheaded!"
As soon as the word beheading came out, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi, who had been forcing himself to be calm, finally couldn't hold it any longer. His legs trembled, and he knelt down in the hall with a plop. The shackles on his hands and legs fell to the ground, and he made a crisp cry.
sound.
The ministers also took a breath, seizing the palace and usurping the throne. Even if he was a prince, he would inevitably end up dead. People cast sympathetic eyes on Xuan Tianyi who fell to his knees, knowing in their hearts that they were afraid that the fourth prince
The end was not much better.
Sure enough, Tianwu said expressionlessly again: "Prince Ping's Mansion will return to the national treasury from now on. The servants and concubines in the mansion will be sent to the frontier as slaves and will never be allowed to return to the capital. Prince Ping Xuantianyi will be stripped of his title and demoted to common people."
,Three days later..."
"Father!" Xuan Tianyi suddenly shouted. He lay on the ground and wanted to crawl forward, but was restrained by the imperial guards who suddenly rushed up. He was afraid that his father would say the same sentence and the same words again.
Go down, the next two words are beheading. He doesn't want to die yet, he is only in his twenties, he has not yet married a concubine, and he has not led a private hoard of soldiers and horses to surround the palace and attack the end gate like Xuan Tianye did.
Why should he end up with the third brother? He was really scared. Even though he was being escorted by the imperial guards, he still raised his head desperately and shouted at Emperor Tianwu: "Father, I know I was wrong. It was the third brother who instigated me.
!Father!"
The more he shouted, the more desperate he became, and the more he shouted, the colder the look in Emperor Tianwu's eyes became. Finally, Xuan Tianyi stopped shouting, and his stiff body relaxed its strength. Seeing that he no longer struggled, the imperial guards let go and exited the hall.
Xuan Tianyi got up from the ground and knelt down again. He didn't say anything anymore, he just knelt there with his head lowered, waiting for the final verdict.
He thought he was dead, but after Emperor Tianwu spoke again, he heard the other party say: "Ping Wang Xuantianyi will strip him of his title and demote him to a commoner. After three days, he will be imprisoned for life."
This decision surprised everyone, and even Feng Yuheng was confused. She turned her attention to Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianye, but saw that the two people were calm and calm, and there was no sign of surprise at all. She knew that,
They must know Tianwu's final decision, but the two sons are treated differently. Is there some other reason for this?
She was thinking about things in her mind and didn't pay much attention to other matters in the court. She vaguely heard Xuan Tianyi thanking Tianwu and then being taken away. Emperor Tianwu also said that Duan Concubine would be imprisoned.
Leng Gong simply stopped listening to the rest. It wasn't until Xiangrong pulled her sleeves hard that she came back to her senses. She glanced at Xiangrong in confusion and saw Xiangrong winking at her desperately. At this time, she heard
Above the main hall, Emperor Tianwu suddenly shouted - "Feng Yu Heng!"
She almost reflexively said, "Here we come!" The voice was high and loud, just like she had answered when called upon by a superior when she was in the army in her previous life.
This voice shocked everyone, and all the ministers and workers were confused. No one knew which drama the Ji'an County actor was starring in.
Xuan Tianming couldn't help but stroke his forehead. What on earth was this damn girl thinking in her head?
Xuan Tianhua took the initiative to speak and said to her in his usual calm and calm voice: "Father is calling you, why don't you hurry up and come forward!"
After this reminder, Feng Yuheng immediately reacted, secretly cursing herself for being confused, hurried forward, and knelt down in the middle of the hall.
Tianwu twitched the corner of his mouth, he really had the urge to open the head of the girl who was kneeling down! What on earth was she thinking? She walked to the court in a distracted manner, what an anecdote through the ages!
He glanced at Xuan Tianming and saw that the other party was looking at him, so he quickly gave her a look with a message: Your wife is really weird.
Xuan Tianming, however, didn't take it seriously at all, and retorted with the same look: This is how you call me your wife.
Tianwu curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a fish looking for a fish and a shrimp looking for a shrimp."
Zhang Guo was listening on the side and quickly reminded him: "We are going to court!"
Tianwu rolled his eyes and did not complain anymore. He just opened and closed his mouth and said the decision he had just made yesterday evening - "The Lord of Ji'an County cares about the people of the world and the Dashun flood. She went out of the city to rescue the victims regardless of her life and death.
And to solve the epidemic problem. When Duanmuqing made trouble, she rushed out of the city to hunt down the traitor and finally intercepted the traitor. In addition, the Lord of Ji'an County made steel for Dashun, and the first steel weapon had been successfully
It was released and passed by General Pingnan himself. She had meritorious service and kindness to Dashun. From now on, she was granted the title of Princess Jian of the first rank in Jin Dynasty. The current County Lord's Mansion was renamed Princess Mansion, and she was granted the title of the capital of the original Jian County.
Fiefdom, bounty, reward for slaves, reward for cattle, sheep and livestock.”
Feng Yuheng stared at Emperor Tianwu with wide eyes, almost thinking that she heard wrongly. She was the daughter of an official, even if she was in love with Xuantian Ming, even if she had done many things for Dashun, she was already granted the title of county head.
That's right, princesses have always been the daughters of the royal family.
Seeing her in a daze, Tianwu felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and asked, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Feng Yuheng quickly shook her head, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."
Tianwu stamped his foot, "Then you are thanking me!" He glared at Zhang Yuan again and whispered, "What's wrong, you didn't tell her in advance? Look at her, she was shocked."
Zhang Yuan wiped away the sweat that was not there at all, and said: "I want to give the county master...oh no, I want to give the county master a surprise."
Tianwu groaned, surprise? Look at that girl, she is only surprised, not happy! He doesn't understand, what an honor it is to be granted the title of princess! Why isn't this girl happy?
Zhang Yuan mentioned it at the right time: "The Ninth Princess and Princess Wuyang are good sisters."
Tianwu understood and quickly said: "I am not the only one to commend you today. When you left the city, my royal Princess Wuyang also followed you out. Even though she is worth a thousand gold, she still stayed outside the city.
The victims are cooking porridge, and I will remember all of this. Today, your reward comes first, and later I will give you the decree for Princess Wuyang."
Feng Yuheng tilted her head and saw Xuan Tiange walking towards her from outside the main hall, kneeling down with her, and then heard Tianwu say again: "Xuan Tiange, Princess Wuyang, will be promoted to a principal from now on."
The first-grade Princess Wuyang gave the empty house on the right side of Prince Wenxuan's palace as the princess palace. In addition, the three daughters Ren Xifeng, Feng Tianyu, and Bai Furong also made great contributions to the flood disaster. Therefore, the Ren family, Feng family, and Bai family were granted the title of Jiu.
Xi, the three girls enjoy the royal salary according to the county head system." After saying these words, he finally waved his big hand - "Thank you!"
