Hairpin Phoenix - Chapter 691

  Chapter 691 Extraordinary Enthronement

  Three months later, Li Jing, the Prince of Great Wei, was enthroned as the new emperor, and the country was named Yongan.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was promoted to Empress Dowager, Empress Qiao was promoted to Empress Dowager, and Lu Mingyu was canonized as Empress Dawei.

   When the new emperor ascends the throne, as usual, he will give amnesty to the world.

   However, people like the Meng family who committed treasonous crimes and should be punished by the old clan are not within the scope of amnesty for the world. The first thing Li Jing did after ascending the throne was to order the Meng family to be reinstated.

   There were more than 800 people from the nine Meng clans, all of whom were beheaded.

   On that day, the heads of the executioners were cut off one by one, and the cracks in the stone slabs of the execution grounds were filled with blood. The thick **** smell persisted for a long time.

   It is said that half of the people who joined in the fun that day to see the beheading were frightened and vomited.

  Meng Yunluo, the third prince concubine, was a married daughter, and she was lucky enough to escape her death. However, the extermination of the entire Meng family was a fatal blow to Meng Yunluo.

   After learning the bad news, Meng Yunluo spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the spot.

   Immediately after, the new emperor issued another decree to seize the title of the First Prince’s Mansion, demoting the First Prince’s lineage to common people, and confining him in the mansion.

  Li Hao, the third prince, murdered his younger brother with conspiracy and tricks, and ordered the prince to be assassinated. This is also a capital offense. The new emperor decreed that he seized the title of the third prince, and sent the third prince to the bitter and cold land of the border to join the army, and he could not return to the capital again in this life.

   Such an iron-blooded method also made all the ministers awe-inspiring.

   Cintiq appears to be gentle, but in fact it also has a fierce side.

  Don’t think that the new emperor is a soft persimmon.

  …

In Puyang Hou’s mansion, Mrs. Puyang Hou’s face was pale, and she said tremblingly: “It is said that the emperor is good-natured, but these days, too many people have died. The first prince’s palace and the third prince’s palace have nothing to do. “

   Puyang Hou’s face was also not good-looking: “The new official has to burn three fires when he takes office. What’s more, this is the new emperor’s enthronement. Besides, good temperament and powerful means are two different things.”

   However, he also had to look at Li Jing with admiration.

  In the past, when Li Jing was the crown prince, he was pushed down by Emperor Yongjia everywhere. The eldest prince and the third prince kept jumping around. When faced with danger, the Crown Princess Lu Mingyu took action to set the world.

  Look at it now, Li Jing is not a soft bun at all, and his shot is very ruthless.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Mrs. Puyang Hou became: “So, isn’t the fourth prince very dangerous? Will our Yu’er be implicated in the future?”

  The Marquis of Puyang took a deep breath and whispered quickly: “Who do you think of the emperor? He disposes of the first prince’s palace and the third prince’s palace because the first prince and the third prince have done wrong.”

   “Especially Li Yi, murdering the late emperor was a heinous crime. It would not be an exaggeration to order the eldest concubine and Li Tang’s mother and son to be killed. His willingness to leave the eldest concubine, concubine and his son alive is already magnanimous.”

“And the things that Li Hao has done, he was not wronged even after being slashed by a thousand swords! The emperor was concerned about his face and only punished him for 3,000 miles in exile, leaving behind the lives of the third prince and concubine and a pair of children. Such kindness, who would Don’t give a compliment?”

   “As for the fourth prince, he walked upright and sat up straight. On the day when the Marquis of Guangping raised his army, he tried his best and made great achievements. Now he is born and died in the land of Yanchu with the king of Xingyang. How could the emperor attack him?”

   “I don’t know what to say, don’t talk about it in the future. If it spreads out a little bit, and it affects our Zhao family, I will be the first to forgive you!”

   The last sentence, Puyang Marquis gritted his teeth and roared out, his eyes were full of fierce light.

   Mrs. Puyang Hou was so frightened that her scalp was numb: “I, I just said it casually.”

   “It’s not okay to talk casually.” Puyang Hou gave Mrs. Puyang Hou a stern look: “In the future, keep your mouth shut. Also, don’t go to the palace to ask for peace.”

   “The Empress Dowager has lost her sanity and is crazy. What are you going to do? If the Empress is talking nonsense and the blame is on you, will you die?”

Mrs. Puyang Hou felt a chill in her heart, and felt wronged in every way: “I was thinking, we are the maiden family of the Empress Dowager. Even Concubine Qin was raised in the Zhao family. I will go to Shouning Palace. Please be safe, I don’t want to be criticized and say that our Zhao family is cool.”

  The Marquis of Puyang snorted coldly: “It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or not. Now I’m still cherishing what to do.”

   “There was an emperor and a courtier, and the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor. Now everyone is holding the Lu family and the Qiao family. The days when our Zhao family was glorious are a thing of the past.”

   “Our Zhao family is safe and sound, and we live with our heads down, that’s all. You still think about how the scenery will not be successful.”

   Mrs. Puyang Hou wiped away her tears in grievance, and replied in a low voice, “I have written down everything Hou said. I will not go to the palace in the future.”

   In the past, she went to Shouning Palace every three or five times to greet her, and wherever she went, everyone was humble and flattered, what a scene.

   Now that the crown prince has become the emperor, the Qiao family of the Lu family jumped up and completely suppressed the Zhao family.

   The second young grandmother of the Lu family is just a second-rank wife, because she is the sister-in-law of the Queen of Wei. They were almost carried to the sky.

  The Marquis of Puyang was full of worries. Madam Puyang Marquis, who could not care about her snot and tears, turned around impatiently and went to the study.

After   ’s cousin Zhao Cang had left, the only person that Puyang Hou could rely on was his aide Xu.

When Xu aide saw that Puyang Hou looked gloomy and uncertain, and knew that his master was in a bad mood, he comforted him in a low voice: “The Zhao family has 20,000 troops, and the rebellion in Yanchu has been leveled. This credit will always be attributed to the Hou Ye. What is the need for the Hou Ye? worry.”

  The Marquis of Puyang sighed and his voice sank: “What I worry about is not the present, but the future!”

   “When the Empress Dowager is here, the emperor will not touch the Zhao family. However, he is not happy to see the Zhao family flourishing. It is inevitable to weaken the Zhao family’s army.”

   “I sent out these 20,000 people, but I didn’t intend for them to come back.”

   Xu’s staff was startled, and suddenly looked up at Puyang Hou: “What do you mean by this, Lord Hou?”

  Puyang Marquis’s complexion flickered, and his expression was gloomy: “The Imperial Forest Army suffered the most casualties, even recruiting new soldiers, it would take three years or two years of training to recover.”

   “The Zhao family’s army was originally 60,000, and 20,000 was ‘borrowed’, leaving 40,000. This force is not too many, and it will not arouse the fear of the emperor.”

   “When the land of Yanchu is settled, I will submit a memorial and ask the emperor to issue an decree to settle 20,000 soldiers in the land of Yanchu as a garrison. This is also to show the emperor that the Zhao family has no objection.”

  If you want to maintain the status of the Zhao family and live a peaceful life, you have to make a choice.

  A staff member Xu showed sincere admiration in his eyes: “Master Hou has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, which is really admirable.”

   Admire the fart!

   The situation is stronger than the person. If he doesn’t take the initiative, should he wait to continue being cut and bloodletted?

   Puyang Hou held back a grunt.
