Chapter 308 Ginger is still old and spicy
Lin Hai has been waiting for news from the capital, not just Lin Hai alone, it should be said that the officials of the entire Feng Dynasty are waiting for news from the capital.I don't know if Emperor Xuande is safe or sound, or if the prince and the Xiao family are better off!
It is still unknown.
The crown prince has been the heir apparent for more than twenty years now, and the Xiao family is also one of the best families in the entire Feng Dynasty. It has a deep foundation in the court and has a lot of party members.Therefore, this time the prince put all his eggs in one basket and joined forces with his party members to force the palace, so he was naturally well prepared.
After the prince got the news that Emperor Xuande came back from the southern tour, he pretended to be sick and stayed in the East Palace, and quietly transported soldiers into the palace. Under the leadership of the Xiao family, the soldiers of the city soldiers Masi launched an attack on the palace.
The crown prince is the eldest prince of Emperor Xuande, but the second prince died young, the third prince is a sick child, and the fourth prince is in good health, but his biological mother was born as a maid. As far as he is concerned, the fourth prince has no ambitions, and he is the one who knows how to protect himself best.
The Fifth Prince is the son born to Emperor Xuande's favorite Empress Liu. It would be a lie if he had no ambitions. However, neither the Fifth Prince nor the Liu family has military power, so he has the intention but is powerless. He can only watch helplessly. The prince forced the palace.However, the fifth prince still made a lot of small moves in private. He believed that if the crown prince ascended the throne, he and the eighth prince would be the first to clean up!
The current Empress Yu is a person without much ability, otherwise she wouldn't be forced to that point by Zhen Shurong.Although she was a person who didn't fight or snatch back then, she was able to give birth to a prince safely in the harem, and let him be raised smoothly. In private, this queen is not as useless as it seems on the surface.
And her son, the eighth prince, is very competitive, although he doesn't appear to be very smart.But not bad!Therefore, Queen Yu is also bound to win the throne.
The East Palace is also in the Imperial Palace, but it is not in the harem, but this also allows Queen Yu to inquire about a lot of news.After waiting to hear the news that the prince was planning to rebel, Queen Yu subconsciously thought this was a good opportunity.If Emperor Xuande was assassinated by the prince.Then if she announces this matter in the name of the queen, won't her son have a chance at that time, and the crime of regicide can also be found as a scapegoat.
Therefore, a letter was sent to her natal family immediately, and the Yu family also felt that there was not much risk in this matter.If Emperor Xuande hadn't died.Then they just have to stay still!If Emperor Xuande was assassinated by the crown prince, they would just have to move again!However, just in case, the Yu family still took a lot of actions.These actions must be guaranteed, waiting for Emperor Xuande to be assassinated by the prince and die.They can have the strength to overthrow the prince's party.
The biological mother of the sixth prince, who was posthumously named Concubine Shu, is Empress Xiao's cousin.Therefore, the sixth prince has always been regarded as a princeling.He also has his own thoughts, he doesn't want to make a wedding dress for the prince.He didn't want to kill the emperor directly, but hoped to coerce the present to issue an edict to pass the throne to himself.Therefore, a lot of plans were naturally revised, and Emperor Xuande, who was already prepared, had time to react.
Emperor Xuande has been in power for more than [-] years, so he is naturally not a fool, and he was wary of the prince in the first place.After the assassination and the passing of the letter by General Li Feige of the North Camp, he immediately knew the prince's thoughts, and immediately sent the King Qin's will to the nearby garrisons loyal to him.
Although the crown prince apparently mastered the Wucheng soldiers and horses, in fact he did not fully grasp it, and many people were forced to join.As for the sixth prince, although it is not within the scope of Emperor Xuande's ideal new emperor, in order to prevent changes, Emperor Xuande actually placed eyeliner around each prince. He does not care about some small actions, but once it exceeds his limit Bottom line, there is no fatherly affection!
Royal people are naturally cold-blooded people.
It is the same between brothers, and it is still the same between father and son.
Although the crown prince and the sixth prince have the support of the Xiao family, they are still not as good as Emperor Xuande, who was prepared for a long time, and the queen in the palace does not want the prince and the sixth prince to succeed to the throne, otherwise their mother and son will be the first to die. Therefore, he personally sits in the town and lets the guards in the palace resist the prince and the sixth prince who are forcing the palace.
Waiting for the day when Emperor Xuande returned to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the East Palace and walked around, then suddenly returned to the palace with his own troops, holding the "imperial decree" stamped with a treasure seal in his hand, declaring that the emperor is returning to the capital On the way, he was attacked by a rebel party, and unfortunately he was seriously injured. Knowing that the situation was critical, and he didn't know whether he could get better, he passed the throne to the crown prince and asked him to return to Beijing to stabilize the situation, and then dispatch troops to calm the situation. If you rebel, you must stabilize the foundation of the Celestial Dynasty.
At the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also announced the imposition of martial law in the capital, and no one is allowed to enter or exit the gate of the capital at will.What's funny is that Empress Yu didn't buy the crown prince's price, and she took one rebellious son at a time. After being tough for a while, Empress Yu was "helpless" and "hard-pressed" to be subdued by a "traitor" around her, allowing the prince to control the palace, and ordered hundreds of officials to enter the palace to discuss the enthronement ceremony.
However, apart from those who are loyal to the prince and those who like to fall with the wind, those ministers and clan elders who have some brains are skeptical about the prince who suddenly came back with troops, even if he holds The 'imperial decree' still looks quite real.But the technology of counterfeiting these days is also very clever.
Moreover, the current emperor is not dead yet, and that person is not the one who will take revenge. If the news brought back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is true, and the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne is also the intention of that person, then it's okay!If not, then they don't want to go to hell with His Highness the Crown Prince who has never been able to use his brain very well!
As a result, the prince's road to becoming an emperor began to encounter many twists and turns.Most of those civil officials who have no power to restrain chickens dare not expressly object, except for those censors who like to bump into pillars in order to be famous through the ages, but they dare not follow the prince's wishes!It is even more difficult to deal with those elders of the clan who are usually powerful. Even in front of the current emperor, they are not afraid of relying on their seniority and what they have in their hands, let alone the current unknown prince.
Moreover, before the crown prince had time to deal with these people and things that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, the gate of the capital was knocked again by General Li and his troops.
General Li's rhetoric is different from that of the prince.
General Li said that he was indeed assassinated today, but he was not injured at all, so it was just a scene written, directed and performed by the prince. Nizi is tied up!
Now it's a hornet's nest!
The prince obviously didn't expect that his father was still alive. After all, this was different from the plan that the Xiao family had told him.The Xiao family guaranteed that they would assassinate Emperor Xuande, so why is it that Emperor Xuande has no dead men?
However, seeing the skeptical eyes of the clan and ministers, and the erratic gazes of his subordinates, the prince simply gave up his heart, no longer caring about reputation or other things, and directly asked people to prepare all the things needed for enthronement, He wanted to use force to force the courtiers and clans present to recognize his status, so as to confirm his name as emperor.
Unfortunately, reality is always so skinny!
The prince never thought that the first person to betray him was the Xiao family whom he had always relied on.The current leading Xiao family is not from when Empress Xiao was here. He used to be Empress Xiao's father, who naturally supported Empress Xiao and the prince, but now the leader is the elder brother of the sixth prince's birth mother.
Before the prince and the sixth prince, he would of course choose the sixth prince, so the prince was in a tragedy!
In fact, the prince didn't think of rebelling at first, because he saw that Emperor Xuande was getting old day by day and his health was getting worse, so he waited patiently.But suddenly the emperor's health improved. Judging from the news revealed by the Imperial Hospital, there are still more than ten years of no problem (the rumor released by Emperor Xuande).This is great, things are serious, the prince is already in his 30s, if it takes more than ten years, there will be no place for him.
Moreover, the crown prince knew in his heart that Emperor Xuande and many important officials in the court did not think highly of him. Could it be that Emperor Xuande was going to make a fuss about his old age and infirmity, and let other brothers take over the throne, and the Xiao family would make noises beside him. Now the prince panicked and quit.
I didn't expect to make clothes for others now, but the sixth prince didn't do too much, or even asked the prince to stand on top of the vat, so he didn't kill him, but put him under house arrest.
The sixth prince knew that Emperor Xuande was not dead, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xuande would be unscathed, so he planned to deceive Emperor Xuande to the capital, and then force him to give an order to take the throne by force, but he never thought that his trick had already made him Emperor Xuande saw through it!
Therefore, when Emperor Xuande arrived near the capital, he immediately notified the loyal generals in the capital. After those generals heard Emperor Xuande's will, they immediately rebelled.During this rebellion, seeing that the situation was not good, the sixth prince led the crowd to flee, and was chased all the way by General Sun and the soldiers from the Southern Daying Camp. Finally, he was put down and the sixth prince was captured alive. The monstrous anger of his father.
Just when everyone thought that everything would come to an end, they didn't think this was just the beginning...
