There are no true loyalists. This is not the Bolsviks who were supported by faith in later generations. The reason why they are still carrying on is simply because the punishment cannot be relied on by the scholar-bureaucrats, and because the interests are too entangled.
After decades of operation, it is inevitable that some excellent people will follow you.
My father is seriously ill and is on his own expedition to the west. If he can be killed by an unprepared attack on his return journey, it is possible for him to inherit the throne.
At that time, no one will listen to the speechless father, and no one will consider the grievances of a dead Zhao Xi.
No matter where you are with your three or five sons, without you, many things are possible.
In the face of huge interests, hoping for a glimmer of success, and thus taking risks...
Zhao Xi even suspected that once the attack on him was successful, there would be follow-up actions against the Neiyuan East Palace.
The battle for the throne has been full of blood since ancient times, and it is even impossible to understand it with Zhao Xi's thinking, but looking through the entire dynasty change records, Zhao Xi has to admit the existence of these possibilities.
Fortunately, there had been no war for so many years, so they had no idea about the new army's combat capabilities. Fortunately, they returned to Korea with 50,000 new troops. They did not expect that the war on the border would be one-sided and there was no need for the new army to garrison.
What was even more fortunate was that as soon as he returned to the court, he quickly took over Bianliang and replaced all the guards in the inner garden.
Any disconnection in all these links may lead to unpredictable consequences.
As expected, this was the first round of enjoying the treatment of the solitary room, and people began to explain their problems one after another. They were still queuing up, crying and shouting to explain their problems.
I asked, I asked the officials who followed the guard camp, and even the Yushitai specially followed, and it was true that no torture was used.
They just invited those people related to the attack on the prince into a small, cramped house...
Fu Bi was surprised, Han Qi was surprised, and Wen Yanbo was thoughtful. They couldn't believe that just being locked up in a small house could make these tough gangsters bow their heads.
"Just this house?"
"Your Majesty, this is it."
The soldiers in the guard camp were very calm. Don't they just don't believe it? Don't they just want to try it? Who in the guard camp has never tried it?
At this point, no one should dare to compare with the Guard Battalion. After all, His Royal Highness the Prince has specially trained the Guard Battalion.
It is one foot square, and there are four ventilation holes at the four corners of the head... It can only be said to be ventilation holes. Through those small holes, you cannot see the sky outside.
There is a table, a stool, a bed, and a toilet. The whole room is square and there is nothing superfluous.
After the guard camp soldiers closed the door, Fu Bi felt like he had entered another world.
Quiet...it's the kind of absolute quiet. Fu Bi calmed down and tried to listen, even if it was the sound of the wind, but unfortunately there was none.
It turns out that sound is also a part of people's daily life.
At this moment, everything suddenly disappeared, and I realized that not only the sound was lost, but the whole world seemed to be lost.
Light came in through the small hole above his head. Fu Bi looked up and could only see dust flying in the light and shadow.
It was cold against the door. There was no unnecessary protrusion in the whole door. It was almost integrated with the wall. I tried to grab something, but there was nothing.
Fu Bi knew that he had gone to the Punishment Division, or that he had come with Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and other senior ministers from the Political Affairs Hall. He also knew that he did not believe that torture was not used in the guard camp, so he came to experience this solitary room.
But at this moment, he felt that he had been abandoned, abandoned by the whole world.
All he had was what he saw with his eyes. He wondered if he was deaf. If it weren't for the few beams of light above his head, he would even think he was blind.
There is only so much left in the whole world now.
Fu Bi tried to lie down on the bed. Whenever he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the squeeze of this cramped space, which made him a little breathless.
Fu Bi knew that he had not been here long, probably no more than an hour, and he already didn't want to stay for a moment... Three days? It was definitely not something a person could bear.
Now that I understand it, there is no need for me to continue to suffer this kind of torture. This is really torture and can drive people crazy.
But it is true that this is not a punishment and does not belong to any recorded punishment.
"Dong dong dong..."
Fu Bi knocked on the door very gently, but he still felt a little irritable.
For those who accept confinement, no matter how hard they hammer on the door, it is useless. The only response is a dry hammering sound without even a slight echo.
"Mr. Rich..."
"Prime Minister Han, how is the text?"
"Back to my husband, everyone has already gone up and is waiting in the lobby."
"I heard that this method is implemented in the guard camp?"
"Replying to my Lord, solitary confinement is a lighter punishment for violations of regulations in the guard camp. The minimum is one day and the maximum is five days. Your Highness has told you that it must not exceed five days, otherwise someone will die."
"How long is the record of the guard camp?"
"Reply to your Majesty, except for Your Highness, there will be no punishment for more than three days."
"Your Highness? Who will punish Your Highness?"
"Returning to Mr. Highness, this is not a punishment. When the confinement system was first implemented, the commanders and teachers of the guard camp had experienced it. Your Highness has been in the confinement room for seven days without any problems."
"Mr. Lu believes that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot continue to stay there because of his numerous affairs. It's not that he can't bear it."
This... Fu Bi didn't think that this soldier was showing off to him, nor would he lie, so there was no need.
In such an environment as the confinement room, how can His Highness the Prince be able to stay there for seven days?
"How many days can you wait?"
"Before I was trained, I could only stay for two days. Now I will be able to stay for three to five days, which should be fine."
From the underground confinement room, all the way up, Fu Bi chatted with the soldier as if making small talk, but his heart was not at all peaceful.
He wanted to ask about the punishment measures in the guard camp, but he didn't ask.
At first, I thought it was just a joke by His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect that there would be such an achievement now.
He asked Ti Xing Division, even if it was official business in Ti Xing Division, the soldiers guarding the battalion always maintained the routine of getting up at Yinshi to practice.
There is no objection. The people in the Political Affairs Hall have no objection to the issues explained after passing through the solitary room.
By this time, the entire case of the attack on His Royal Highness was gradually becoming clearer.
In the early years, there were many official drafts, but now, regardless of whether they have titles in Neiyuan, they all have some qualifications and connections.
The news spread as soon as Guan Jia was seriously ill.
And these people were already members of the Runan Palace when they first entered the palace, and the earliest ones were even before His Highness the Crown Prince.
Then, some of the princes of King Runan used the connections accumulated over two generations to gain control over some ministers and forced a group of people to plan this big move.
From the inner garden to the imperial city, from civil servants to military commanders, from the front office to the court, in the face of huge interests, they completely lost their minds, and even targeted the emperor's grandson, including the entire court's ministers, and had the next step.
Plan.
What's even more serious is that this time the root cause of the failure of heirs in the official family has been uncovered.
Including the late Concubine Zhang Xian, they were all implicated.
Several sons of the official family, and even some of the daughters who died in infancy, were actually killed.
It's so tragic and shocking!
Even Zhengshitang couldn't suppress his anger when he saw all the files.
One thing is strange, among all the testimonies, none of them involve Zhao Zongshi.
