Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 95 Taixing Emperor abdicates

Seeing that a group of courtiers, especially a few gray-haired old courtiers, were suffocated by Huo Jue's anger, Cui Yu cleared his throat.

All of a sudden, the courtiers who were still arguing were dumbfounded and looked straight at Cui Yu who was beside the imperial case.

Huo Jue curled his lips, if Emperor Taixing hadn't threatened Cui Yu to shave his head in Zhengyue, after the verification of "Uncle died in Zhengyue shaving his head", Jia She would be the only one left in Jia's family holding the bun in his hand, There is not a drop of oil in the rice...

Although they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, Emperor Taixing's expression and tone of voice were still so serious that people couldn't help but believe in them.So he had to show up to help his nephew stabilize Chao Gang.But isn't his easiest way to make people believe that Huo Jue is self-respecting and seeking to usurp the throne?

At that time, the loyal and the unfaithful will all be bouncing around.

Anyway, he is just familiar with this, acting in his true colors, after all, the empress dowager was scared.As for other political detours, it was too troublesome. According to his thinking, it was really easy to kill them all.

Facing everyone's thoughtful and inquiring expressions, Cui Yu directly ignored a certain uncle's disgusting eyes.Looking back, he scanned the faces of all the courtiers one by one, Cui Yu was silent for a while, his thoughts were on who I am, I actually stood on the dragon chair, looked down at the civil servants and generals and so on, and then felt angina.

There is no joy of suddenly gaining power, but pain in the flesh.

From now on, all the heavy burdens of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, honorable royal relatives, and the people of the world will all be borne by him.To put it more simply, he has enough money to support a large family.

What if he doesn't have the ability of Emperor Taixing to make money?

The state treasury is connected to the private treasury to some extent.

Emperor Taixing had made complete preparations to "bring the emperor into the urn" before, and even divided up the private house he earned, leaving him 800 million taels of silver and rare treasures.As for other industries, Dai Quan was also written into books one by one.

The crown prince whispered all kinds of arrangements of Emperor Taixing's "afterwards" in his ear, regardless of whether he listened to it or not, and gave him something while talking, and then he was frightened stupid by Emperor Taixing's expenses.

My wealthy emperor father, nearly 700 million taels of real gold and silver a year, plus the rewards of jewelry, etc., is about ten million taels of silver.

Ten million taels of silver!

When he heard the number, he was frightened back to his senses, tremblingly opened the account book and looked at it, and suddenly realized why the prince did not fight, and instead urged him to recognize the real reason as soon as possible.Every expenditure can't be reduced, raising dark guards and manpower to build ships and go to sea... These are all serious things!

Fuck serious business!

Fuck reality!

Reality!

Cui Yu clenched his sleeves tightly, controlled the twisting flame in his heart, took a deep breath, glanced at the courtiers again, and said loudly: "Imperial... Father I know that everyone wants to know what happened. What, so I ordered the left and right officials to record everything that happened last night in detail. Two historians, read it."

The official historian came out in response, holding the previous record in his hand, he paused every word, and began to read the words in a correct way.Anyway, after going through last night, they are now indifferent to numb.

"At one quarter five o'clock on the 27th, the third-class Weihua General's Mansion was deliberately set on fire. The fire burned for an hour. Shuntian Mansion, Wucheng Bingma Division, Bingmaying and other departments joined forces to put out the fire. The Prince's Resistance Alliance took advantage of the fire and replaced the city. The guards at the gate were deployed; at three o'clock in the Houhai period, the Tongzhou station was on fire, and the imperial envoy was assassinated. At the same time, the prince rebelled against the alliance and launched a mutiny.

During the hour-long reading, there were many loyal and upright people who were shocked and fainted, but those who did not faint, except for those with a strong heart, were left with a blank mind.

With Emperor Taixing personally killing his two sons, what else can't happen?

The miraculous resurrection of the fourth prince who died early seems to be quite easy to accept.

"Fourth prince, even so, it is not proper for you to sit on the throne at the moment." Among the clansmen, Emperor Taixing's fifth brother, King Rui bit the bullet and said.

He...he can't do anything!

His second elder brother, Lao Fu Wang, relied on his shroud to celebrate again and again, and under the critical illness of the imperial doctor again and again, he survived the winter with strength and stamina, but he was paralyzed in bed after all.As for King Fu, who has now inherited the king's title, and King Xian, although the age of these two people is rounded, they are about the same age as him.But the seniority is different!

There was nothing in his mind other than fear.The only thing I regret is that they fought for it back then, but they were afraid of the grandpa and grandpa after all.When the Tai and Zu established the crown prince, they were like quails, not daring to talk nonsense.Not at all as bold as these nephews.

Today's young people are more exaggerated than historical records.

But thousands of words, he is the only elder brother of the emperor who is still alive and kicking, and he is also the highest seniority in the clan today.If you don't talk now, is it possible that the fourth child will be "raised" by Huo Jue?Where is the old face of the Situ family?

As soon as someone in the clan spoke, Cui Yu glanced at Dai Quan with a little embarrassment.He can't be blamed, generally speaking, courtiers don't have much contact with nobles, especially clan relatives.

He is a small turtle, where does the opportunity come from to recognize everyone.

Dai Quan raised his hand and quickly made a "five".

"Thank you, Uncle Wuhuang." Cui Yu said in a deep voice, neither sad nor happy: "Father ordered me to supervise the country for the time being. Dai Neixiang, let's declare the decree."

Even though Cui Yu's indifferent attitude made people feel a little good, but the word "supervising the country" stirred up everyone's nerves again. Everyone followed Dai Quan's elongated "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun..." and knelt down, doing the same thing in their hearts. The final conclusion is: it is really firm, this battle for the throne, the first bloody coup in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, may be the most brutal coup in the records of all dynasties, and the final winner is Cui Yu, that is, Situ resplendent.

The first letter was an edict of sin against oneself. Emperor Taixing reviewed himself as a self-proclaimed emperor through the ages, but it turned out to be a disaster, and his children were not as good as barbecued pork.

The second letter is Cui Yu's acknowledgment of the ancestors and return to the clan, the title of loyal king, and supervision of the country.

Both of these two edicts were written by Emperor Taixing himself, announcing the world, especially the first one.As soon as the news got out, the common people knelt down and shouted long live, begging the heaven to bless Emperor Taixing for a long life and the common people.

=====

After the court meeting, Cui Yu hurriedly glanced at Emperor Taixing, who was still in a coma, and at Jia She, who was in a hurry—Emperor Taixing was poisoned, and Mr. Yu also passed out after staying up late and vomiting blood. Saying "don't worry", he started wandering around like a spinning top before even meeting his own son.

The first thing to deal with is the Prince's Resistance Alliance and their supporters.There are too many people, and the prison can't fit.

The best one to deal with here is the faction of the fifth prince.In view of the fact that the fifth prince was hijacked as meat and tickets because he wanted to withdraw halfway, but he still had a conscience, so he made an exception.The fifth prince was granted the title of King Zhongshun, and he and the Zhen family all went to Haojingao.

Haojingao is a small island. It has been Chinese territory since the Qin Dynasty. It belongs to Panyu County, Nanhai County. This dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture. Because there is little arable land and few products, it is not easy to live and reproduce. Basically, it depends on hunting. Fish is a profession, and it is also considered a barren wilderness.However, since the development of maritime trade, this place has gradually gained some popularity.Now it has established its own government as Shunzhou, which is the land of King Zhongshun.

The meaning of Emperor Taixing is self-evident - to let the five princes and the faction be self-reliant here.Under the Jinkou Yuyan that everyone else was killed, the Zhen family's faction dispatched this, and the only thing left was to thank the emperor for his mighty grace.

As for the other participating princes' lineage, it is easy to deal with, after all, there is an imperial decree from Emperor Taixing.

The embarrassing thing is the three grandsons, one of whom is the third prince.The third prince originally had ambitions, but until today, he has no ambitions, and he even asked overseas orders before.Now he never expected that his son would get involved.Regarding this, the third prince had nothing to say except complaining that he did not teach his heirs.

Seeing a group of old opponents who wanted to die happily, the prince frowned again and again. Looking at the Kanyu map, it was rare for him to say a word for the old opponent: "Your death is too easy. You have to atone for your sins for the rest of your life. Listen to Niu Jizong's investigation and return According to Ming Dynasty's "Creating Sea Maps" and our dynasty's missions to Ryukyu and other places, the ships must pass through small islands such as Xiaoliuqiu, Diaoyu Island, Huangma Island, and Chiyu. In the next period of time, our dynasty will definitely develop maritime trade , These places are easy to hide pirates, and they are also the key points of coastal defense. Don’t you also have some military talent. Give me these places and guard them!”

Shocked by the words, the third prince rolled his eyes at the prince, "You should think about yourself first." The prince was not abolished, but the fourth prince who supervised the country appeared.

"Hahaha, you all get out, Gu is the only little princess!" The prince heard the words, patted the third prince's shoulder with rare brotherly love, and said happily.

Cui Yu was not offended by this either.According to him, these people who were killed should work hard and earn back all their expenses over the years before they died.But in the end, it was the emperor's order, and secondly, I really had to guard against it. Some people have not yet repented, so it is better to cut the weeds as soon as possible.

Facing a large group of people who are about to be executed, Cui Yu adhered to the style of "careful calculation", picked and picked, and finally sent the immediate family members of Bailaihao to the guillotine. As for the other five clans, following the words of the prince, Sent to an overseas small island to make it self-reliant.

It's just that these are servants, and those who are not loyal are treated like masters.If they are masters, they will be able to cross the ocean with farming workshops and so on.

After half a month of continuous rotation, almost without sleep day and night, Cui Yu took Xiao Song from Dali Temple—Song Xueci, who was more and more desperate for Wang Xun, to convict and sentence all the parties involved in the case.

Just as Cui Yu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he ushered in the second hurdle—selection to fill the vacancy.

Hearing this, Cui Yu knelt down beside the dragon bed in a hurry, and almost burst into tears: "Emperor...Father, I really..."

"Oh, I have a headache." Emperor Taixing put his hand on his forehead, looked at Cui Yu, and said in a concentrated voice: "I am getting more and more confused now, and I have to rely on needles to wake up for a couple of sticks of incense time. You are still grinding with me?" Procrastination? If you don’t get started, who will come in the future? Didn’t I already say that Situ Jin gave you your existence, otherwise I wouldn’t even know about it. I…”

He had prepared for the worst, so he wrote the imperial decree to pass on the throne with his own hand.In other words, a suicide note.

But he is still alive.

But some things have been decided to let go.

Simply want to be more happy.

Otherwise, hesitation and indecision may be another disaster.

"But... but I..." Cui Yu opened his lips and looked at the tired Emperor Taixing, not knowing where to start.

The emperor's responsibilities include the continuation of future generations.

Not to mention the fact that he had previously suffered from the "young Muai" mentioned in the book, but after the prince's rebellion against the alliance, he was a little apprehensive about having a child.

Seeing the wobbly people, Emperor Taixing turned his needled head around flexibly, waved his hand to signal Cui Yu to get up, as if he wanted to tell a little secret.

When Cui Yu saw the standard "little secret" posture, he was in a daze for a while, got up, approached cautiously, and bent over to listen to Emperor Taixing's holy metaphor.

"Don't think I'm blind. Your eyes are glued to that boy Enhou, and you think I can't see it?" Emperor Taixing asked meaningfully without looking at Cui Yu who had been frightened and dumbfounded: "Think about your uncle, think about his father, do you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

Cui Yu: "..."

"I won't stop you from thinking carefully, anyway, you already have Yan'er, even if..." Yan'er fails, he still has Xiaocao!

Emperor Taixing was partial as always, but he didn't say anything now.

He only said how to chase people.

Choi Woo is totally convinced.

Dai Quan took out the third imperial decree that had already been drawn up. Emperor Taixing read it, a little lazy, and copied it directly imitating the "suicide note".

Emperor Taixing praised his own achievements without hesitation, and added his good qualities of being sad and breaking his arms, correcting when he knew a mistake, and so on. In the end, there was only a small place left to talk about serious business.After all, there has never been a content to write two imperial edicts.

Therefore, in the end, Emperor Taixing pointed straight to the point, five sentences, not a single nonsense.In the first sentence, I am in poor health and unable to do state affairs; in the second sentence, the prince escorted me and was also injured, and I am unable to do state affairs, so I will be named the King of Loyalty and Righteousness.The third sentence praised Cui Yushi's solid resume, and the fourth sentence, he abdicated to Situ Cui.The fifth sentence, the standard ending-this is it.

This edict was issued to the whole world, and Emperor Taixing gained waves of popular support.

The courtiers were reasonable about this, and they didn't have any extra thoughts about the unexpected imperial decree.After all, Taixing Emperor Longwei is still there. As for Cui Yu, the promotion at the bottom, even if he has the ability, there is still his uncle's army.And the other former prince, now Prince Zhongyi, ha ha.

His Royal Highness Prince Zhongyi was very active in this matter and instructed King Zhongyi to write a resignation form.And according to the traditional tradition of "please resign, then order" and other traditions, the second edict of abdication issued by Emperor Taixing, judging from the handwriting, was written by Prince Zhongyi.The third edict was also written by Prince Zhongyi.

With such an attitude, who would support him in the Manchu Dynasty?

After all the canonization ceremonies, on March [-]th, Situ Cui ascended the throne as emperor, called Zhenghe Emperor, and inherited the title of Pingnian.

So far, all the dust has settled.

As for secretly, Situ Cui, who was appointed by the new official, was naturally busy.

The former prince, King Zhongyi, clapped his hands, no longer took care of any government affairs, and returned to Ningfu to watch the Ministry of Industry repair the house for his eldest son.It must be beautiful, luxurious and upscale!

Jia Zhen completely knelt down, mother!

He doesn't want to be a noble, so let him be a king of the mountain happily in Ning Mansion, wouldn't it be good?

Now the power of the Jia family is scalding him.

The Jia family can be said to be the most expensive in the new dynasty!

Not to mention the two empress wives who cannot speak to the outside world—Huo Jue of Rongfu and Prince Zhongyi of Ningfu, they are Uncle Xi.May I ask, in the whole world, who is the master of the emperor?

Now his uncle is still busy with the staff member Yu, by the way, the staff member Yu's status also seems to be very good!

It's so tiring, being surrounded by a halo of a group of people is really tiring even if you are pretending to be a tiger.

I have to vomit just eating.

Jia Zhen was quite bored, and couldn't help thinking, it would be great if she could go back to the past.

Thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, Jia Min looked at the flattering faces of her daughter's full moon guests, couldn't help but frowned, and then smiled faintly.

As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, the Jia family is very popular now, especially her husband Lin Ruhai got the post of inspector of salt and censor at this time.Even though the Lin family felt that the master deserved his name, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Does it have anything to do with the Jia family?

But she asked herself, her relationship with her elder brother was weak.

But no matter what, the Jia family is her natal family after all.Her natal family was reliable, even if she had only one daughter, and was secretly scolded as a hen that couldn't lay eggs, her wife's status was still rock-solid.
