There are dozens of prisons in the Zongren Mansion, and most of them are idle and useless on weekdays. This time, more than ten vassal kings were imprisoned in the prison at the same time, and the commanders of the soldiers around the vassal king were also imprisoned. There were dozens of prisons.
The cells are actually full.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to completely prevent the feudal princes from exchanging news.
For several days in a row, Prince Fenyang and Prince An both came with great confidence, but were scolded and left in disgrace.
The King of Jiangxia sneered in his cell and shouted loudly: "We are all the kings of the Qi vassal. We have no merits and have worked hard to guard the vassal territory for many years. We have not done anything to disgrace the court, but the emperor treats us in every possible way.
Suspicion put us all in jail."
"How can you block the mouth of Youyou in the world by acting like this!"
From the other cells, the feudal kings responded one after another: "That's right!"
"We have done nothing wrong, why should we be treated like this! This time, we must not bow our heads and give in!"
"Even the emperor has to be reasonable! Those 30,000 elite soldiers clearly have nothing to do with us. Don't even think about pouring this basin of sewage on our heads!"
"That's right. We are all innocent. The emperor has the ability to imprison us in the clan's mansion. It is absolutely impossible to make us admit this debt that we should not admit!"
Listening to the angry shouts of the feudal kings, the King of Jiangxia's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
The headstrong King Changdeok died unjustly, but there were also King Yingchuan and King Hejing.
Those 30,000 private soldiers were his work.
As early as half a year ago, the King of Jiangxia had secretly colluded with the King of Hejing. These 30,000 elite soldiers were the wealth he had accumulated for decades. It took him half a year to turn into common people and sneak into Hejing quietly.
Wow. This amazing army has indeed made great achievements.
The imperial court suffered a heavy defeat and its momentum was weakened. General Yin led reinforcements. As long as King Hajing could withstand the pressure of the imperial reinforcements, there would be greater commotion in the capital.
The real purpose of the King of Jiangxia was to alienate the feudal kings and the court. These feudal kings had more or less private soldiers in their hands. Ten thousand to twenty thousand were scattered everywhere, and together they formed a terrifying force.
When the vassal kings are forced to a point of no retreat and rise up to resist, they can secretly order the private soldiers to sneak into Hejing City or Yingchuan City. If this fails, they can also raise troops on the spot and have the court fight on all sides.
Tired of being separated.
Conspiracy is never simple and easy. You can only risk all your wealth and give it a try.
Of course, there were also two or three less courageous feudal lords who secretly regretted it.
If I had known today, I really shouldn’t have listened to the Jiangxia King’s instigation and made noises and caused trouble in the court. It’s better now that they have been imprisoned in the clan’s mansion and their respective mansions have also been sealed...
The emperor was ruthless and decisive, and used tough methods. He sent hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to pacify the three vassals. How could he give in just because the vassal kings were causing trouble?
Now it seems that King Chenliu is the shrewdest. He handed over his private soldiers early and surrendered to the emperor. Now he is happy to relax and watch their excitement.
…
The vassal kings had their own thoughts in their minds and kept shouting. It was not until midnight that the prison finally calmed down.
Early the next morning, the guard guarding the cell brought breakfast.
The vassal princes still had a rich meal in prison. Although it was not as exquisite as in the palace, there was no shortage of porridge, soup, noodles and dishes.
King Jiang Xia sat down swaggeringly, and then breakfast was placed in front of him. A strange and pungent aroma rushed straight into his nose. When King Jiang Xia looked at it carefully, his nose almost became crooked with anger.
Today's breakfast is a big bowl of hand-made noodles. There are eight kinds of noodles, four meat and four vegetarian. It doesn't look shabby at all.
But what’s the deal with the red layer of spicy oil floating in the noodle soup? What’s the deal with the spiky red peppers piled on the noodles? No wonder it smells choking, it’s so spicy!
The King of Jiangxia opened his mouth and cursed: "Bah! Is this something for people to eat? Take it away! I won't eat it! Go to the kitchen and get some noodles that are not spicy!"
The guard who delivered the meal had already received the warning and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Please calm down, Your Majesty! This is the only breakfast today. I only serve the food, and I have no control over what the cook does."
King Jiangxia suddenly became furious, stood up, kicked the bowl, and cursed for a long time.
Of course I didn't eat breakfast.
The other vassal kings also cursed and cursed in the same way, with their faces full of anger.
After being hungry for a long time, I saw six dishes and one soup at lunch. The chili peppers in each dish accounted for half of the plate. Looking at the light broth, I took a sip and choked out. The spicy taste went straight to my throat.
Even the rice is crazily filled with pointed red peppers. The red and white colors make one's scalp numb just by looking at them.
Who the hell can eat this?
Another burst of crazy yelling and cursing came from the prison.
Stay hungry!
When it comes to dinner, no need to describe...
King Jiang Xia, who had the most fiery and irritable temperament, was so hungry that he endured humiliation and took a few bites. As a result, he was so hot that he burst into tears and runny nose.
It was like this for three days in a row.
The feudal kings suffered terribly.
What's even more frightening is that every meal is so spicy that the stomach can't help it, and constipation is inevitable...
On weekdays, Prince Fenyang and Prince An would go into the cell at least three times a day. But these three days, not even a shadow of them showed up.
…
Three days later, Prince Fenyang and Prince An entered their cells.
Before he could open his mouth, he was scolded angrily by the vassal princes who had lost weight and looked angry: "Bah, you have the face to resort to such despicable means. Who can eat such a meal! If I were
No matter what happens if you are hungry, I will drag you with me even if you are a ghost."
The Prince of Fenyang County was very thick-skinned and did not get angry when he was scolded. He pretended to be helpless and responded: "Uncles, don't be upset. There is a new famous chef from Shu in the clan's mansion, and the dishes he cooks are all from Shu."
Food. You just can’t get used to it for a while. You’ll be fine after a few days of getting used to it.”
The Prince of Fenyang County has the courage to do whatever he wants, and he doesn't mind even when he is scolded bloody.
When he arrived at the young and energetic Prince An, he was no longer so good-tempered.
The King of Jiangxia scolded him so much that he was frothing at the mouth. King An said with an angry grin: "There are more than 3,000 dishes in Sichuan that can be made. They are enough to last for a year. King Jiangxia might as well enjoy the delicious food slowly."
"
The king of Jiangxia was so angry that he stretched out his foot and kicked him.
The feudal princes did not make any serious mistakes, and they had neither shackles nor shackles.
King An didn't move. The imperial guard behind him rushed forward expressionlessly and easily stopped the furious King Jiangxia who looked like a madman. King An took the opportunity to exit the cell.
The cell clicked and was locked again.
King An was contentedly outside the cell. He smiled at King Jiangxia who was about to spit out sparks from his mouth and nose: "Does King Jiangxia know where those 30,000 elite soldiers came from?"
The King of Jiangxia took a deep breath and denied it: "It is thousands of miles away and has nothing to do with me. How can I know?"
King An sneered and walked away without asking any more questions.
