Chapter 1806: Purge
On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, after many years, the people of the capital mentioned this day, and they were all secretive.
This day is the beginning of the year, according to the customs of the past, this big New Year, no matter how unhappy and bad things are, they must cover up the past and whitewash the peace, so as to mean that the year will be smooth.
From the afternoon, the capital, which was supposed to be full of festive atmosphere, suddenly became slaughtered.
The gates of the city were wide open, and a group of cavalry came out of the palace and headed straight for the outside of the capital.
Then the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard and the Admiral of the Nine Gates rushed straight to several high-ranking families like wolves, including the Guogong Mansion and the General's Mansion or something.
In addition, there are officials who beat gongs and drums, and proclaimed along the street that some people tried to take advantage of the spring banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the first birthday banquet of the Nine Emperor Princes, when the palace defense was lax, to murder the current Majesty, but fortunately, the current Majesty was protected by heaven and saw through the conspiracy against the party.
Now the masterminds have been caught, and the rest of the party is hiding in the city. The curfew in the capital will be from now on, and the people will no longer be allowed to go out to wander on the streets after dark, and the Lantern Festival lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will also be canceled.
In addition, if the neighbors find a person with suspicious deeds, they must immediately go to the yamen to make a head, and they can also receive ten taels of silver.
Where is there anything that the people don't understand? Suddenly, the festive atmosphere in the capital was washed away, and everyone was cowering at home, not daring to go out, for fear of being arrested as a suspicious person.
I don't dare to visit each other's New Year's greetings, let alone buy and sell daily necessities.
Fortunately, everyone has saved enough New Year's goods before the Chinese New Year, and there is nothing to delay for a while.
It's just that some don't make a hand, and at this time, it's naturally important to live a small life, and it's all over with it.
Not to mention them, even those high-ranking families, the princes and princes, don't they also have closed their doors.
At night, the people of the capital heard the main streets of the capital outside, with loud movements, footsteps, horse whistling, dog barking, and faint cries.
Suddenly, everyone was in danger, and some of the children who were scared to wake up and wanted to cry were all covered by adults.
On the second day, at dawn, someone cautiously opened the door and looked at it, and saw that the streets were full of soldiers coming and going from time to time, and every important intersection of the lanes was guarded by soldiers, all with solemn faces, holding bright swords, which made people frightened when they looked at it.
From time to time, soldiers escorted men and women who looked embarrassed, cried for their fathers and mothers, or shouted for wrongs, walking through the streets, and seeing the clothes of those who were escorted, all of them had been stripped of their big clothes, and only their close-fitting jackets were left, and they shivered with cold.
Their whereabouts are in the prison of Dali Temple, and it is said that after only a day or two, this prison can no longer be contained.
had to vacate the Chenghuang Temple outside the city and imprison those female dependents.
Not to mention those official teeth, in the past few days, how many official eunuchs have gone bad, and the slaves of these families, as well as those female dependents and underage men who are slightly less guilty, have been used as official slaves.
How many of the wealthy sons and ladies who were the pride of the sky before fell from the peak and fell into the quagmire in an instant.
There are also many people, because of their meritorious service, now because the matter is not over, there is no reward, but everyone can expect that when this wave of cooking is over, it will be the time when the emperor will reward them aggressively, and these people will be hot at that time.
The palace was even purged by the Great Purge.
Concubine Xian was directly given a cup of poisoned wine, and she didn't want to drink it when she woke up, so she was hard poured down, vomiting blood before she died, and cursing the emperor and empress at the same time.
made the emperor furious, and directly ordered, casually pretending to be messy, but he was not allowed to enter the concubine's mausoleum, and was directly buried in a thin coffin in the mass grave.
In the past, those concubines who were vassals behind the virtuous concubines were also stripped of their titles and entered the cold palace, and they could only survive in the cold palace for the rest of their lives.
As for Concubine Shu, she knew her very well, and while crying, she explained all the plans of Concubine Xian and the eldest prince to 1510, and only left herself clean.
cried that he had a relationship with the emperor in the palace back then, and only let the emperor spare her life, and also sent her into the cold palace.
Those who took refuge in Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu all entered the cold palace, and the other concubines, although they did not take refuge in Concubine Xian, only cared about their own lives at the first birthday banquet, and did not care about the emperor's life or death.
It also made the emperor tired of it, and he wanted to punish him, but the queen mother and the queen persuaded him.
It's just that their palace has been cleaned again, and those who serve them have been found, sent out, and replaced by the emperor's people.
The Sentencing Division cried day and night, and every day people came in standing and went out lying down.
The smell of blood was overwhelming, permeating, and no one dared to approach it for a hundred meters in the vicinity.
Changchun Palace.
The queen does not hide her tiredness, there are thousands of things in this palace, and she has to clean people, and she has to place her own people in important places everywhere without a trace.
So many concubines were sent to the cold palace, and they had to be arranged clearly.
Not only was she so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, but also the Huaicai under her hands, as well as the small stove, and a few big palace maids with red and crimson, green and white, and she didn't even have the kung fu to drink tea all day.
Now the concubines in the palace who don't deal with the queen have all died, wasted, and the rest can't turn over the storm now.
These henchmen of the queen are happy for their masters, and in the future, the position of their own masters in this palace will be stable and unmatched.
Even if they are too tired to sleep for two or three hours a day, they are all smiling and happy.
Only the queen, who was busy during the day, finally rested at night, but couldn't sleep all night, so she only asked someone to bring the Nine Emperor Princes over, and she had to hold the Nine Emperor Princes to be more at ease.
Hongscarlet and Lucui guessed the queen's idea and persuaded them, but the queen agreed, but the whole person became haggard day by day.
Others don't know that the queen can't sleep every night.
Thinking of that day, she was forced to choose the emperor and give up the Nine Emperor Princes, she hated and rejoiced, and the two emotions were mixed and tormented her.
She hates the emperor, in order to achieve her goal, she can sacrifice anything, she can wake up in advance, but he wants to force Concubine Xian to jump over the wall and attack her Xiao Jiu.
At that time, she knew that the emperor was fine, but she knew better that if she didn't choose the emperor at that time, but chose the Nine Emperor Princes, I am afraid that she would be in the cold palace now.
But when she thought of the Nine Emperor Princes, her only flesh and blood, the danger she encountered, and she was almost injured by the slut of Concubine Xian, she hated it so much in her heart.
But she couldn't show it, and now at this time, what she had to do was to happily enjoy the glory that the emperor was about to give her.
Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel cold and scared.
Fortunately, she is also a very determined person, and after a few days, she came to her senses.
Now she is the victorious side, as long as she doesn't make big mistakes in the future, she is the best queen in the emperor's mind.
If she shows any resentment at this moment, she is afraid that so many worries and grievances in front of her will be in vain.
The scene she finally earned out, how could she be willing to give it to her?
She is not alone now, there is Xiao Jiu behind her, and there are loyal servants in this palace, she has to protect them.
It's just that for that position, she is more and more bound to win!
In this world, even if it is a queen or a prince, it looks extremely noble, but in front of the emperor, it is just a sentence that can knock you from the clouds into the quagmire, and you will not be allowed to disobey at all.
If you really want to live freely and control your own life, you must stand in the highest position!
Her little nine! She swore to herself that this time Xiao Jiu was given up, it must be the last time! In the future, only their mother and son will give up other people's shares, and they will not let the mother and son fall into today's dilemma.
