After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 784 The whole family is a rebel (68)

At Jin Yan's command, the northern informants around Chang'an City became active.

Within half a day, the people in Yu County had already learned that the powerful people in the neighboring counties were secretly colluding with the north to conduct business outside the Great Wall.

But this is far from enough, the water is not muddy enough.

What Jin Yan wants is to stir up chaos in the world so that the court will have no time to care about them.

Otherwise, if the imperial court came to its senses, her words "the most dangerous place is the safest place" would be useless, and they would have to embark on a desperate escape again.

In this regard, the intelligence personnel who stayed behind were eager to try their best. Muddy waters have always been their forte. Let's see how they can make those mediocre people in the court fool around!

When even the lowest class of people know a secret, there is no doubt that the secret must have become so widespread that it is no longer a secret.

In the court, the emperor asked everyone to discuss the matter, and many court officials unanimously pointed their fingers at the North.

"Secretly harboring traitors, winning over people's hearts, and colluding with the powerful, Xiao Sui and his son really have ulterior motives!"

"Your Majesty, now we have irrefutable evidence that the Northland has indeed rebelled. I beg Your Majesty to issue an order immediately and order the general to lead the army to the Northland to exterminate the rebels!"

"Your Majesty, issue an order to attack!"

The court officials were eagerly looking forward to it, but the emperor remained silent, with a gloomy look on his face.

Powerful?

Are the powerful the only ones colluding with the North?

Who among you in this hall is not a powerful person?
The emperor's cold gaze swept across everyone in the hall, and finally landed on an old general who had not attended court for a long time, "General Mo, are you willing to lead the army to fight against the rebels for me?"

The old general has white hair and beard and his face is full of wrinkles, but he is energetic, strong and has eyes like an eagle.

He stepped out of the line with great enthusiasm and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I am willing to eliminate the traitors for Your Majesty!"

Looking at the firm and loyal expression on General Mo's face, the emperor finally smiled after a long time.

But the smile didn't last long, and was replaced by a sinister look.

"Your Majesty, the prince is seriously injured!"

When the emperor rushed to the East Palace, what he heard was the prince's wailing cries, mixed with many unbearable insults and warnings.

"If you can't cure my leg, I'll let all of you be buried with me!"

Hurt your leg?
The emperor had a sullen face and with a glance, he stopped all the palace servants who wanted to pay their respects in their places.

He walked slowly closer and was about to enter when a voice came from inside.

"If my legs become lame, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!"

The emperor still had one foot hanging in the air. When he heard this, his face darkened and he retracted his foot.

The attendants and guards around him all watched their noses and their hearts, not daring to make a sound, but the sound inside continued.

"Doctor Zhang, it's not easy to be a subject of the emperor, isn't it?"

"When I went there, those lowly people said that I was not worthy of being the crown prince. If I am not worthy, then does my father deserve it?"

"...They were right about one thing. Father is indeed old and incompetent. He actually confined me to my place of residence for such a small matter, slapped me in the face in public, and made me lose all my dignity. He also made me govern Yu County, a deserted place with no people or birds..."

"Isn't it just beating a few untouchables to death?"

"Wait until I ascend the throne..."

Before the prince could finish his words, the emperor, with a gloomy face, had already turned away.

Following the attendant's shout of "Your Majesty", the entire East Palace fell silent in an instant.

Not to mention what the prince and the doctors thought of when they heard the word "Your Majesty", or whether their souls were frightened away, the emperor issued an imperial decree as soon as he returned. "The prince has no virtue and is unworthy of being the crown prince. From today on, the position of the crown prince will be abolished."

The court officials were confused at first.

The civil rebellion continues and there is another rebellion in the north. How can Your Majesty depose the Crown Prince at such a time when there are so many problems?
When they received the news from the spies in the palace and learned what happened in the Eastern Palace, they felt that what the prince said was absolutely right. His Majesty was really old.

If it were His Majesty a few years ago, I'm afraid the Crown Prince would have gone to meet his ancestors long ago!

When the crown prince was deposed, the only people who were deeply hurt were those in his faction.

It would be a relief if other parties in the court did not cheer for the emperor's wisdom at this moment.

A country cannot be without a crown prince for a day.

If the prince is not capable, then let’s find someone who is capable.

But who should I replace?
Who wouldn't want the prince they support to ascend to a high position, so that future generations of the family can gain a reputation as a successful success and leave their name in history?
Because of this incident, the court, which had been calm for a long time, became boiling again. The court officials came and went, either exposing the shortcomings of others or framing others. One after another, they took the stage, making the court like a vegetable market.

All matters of national and family affairs, rebellions, and lowly people, all had to stand aside when it came to "establishing a crown prince".

Anyway, as long as the court exists, they will be there.

To take a step back, even if the current imperial court is destroyed and someone else sits on the throne, they are still themselves, and the aristocratic family is still the aristocratic family.

The rules of this world will never change!
……

Jin Yan was in Yu County, so she couldn't be the first to see the fun in the court, but she heard about the ugly faces of the court officials every day.

For example, after the news of the powerful people colluding with the north spread, the smart man secretly transferred his troops to encircle the powerful people in order to gain merit, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

Even though Jin Yan was the one who led this matter and the ending was what she wanted to see, she felt sad for the common people when she thought that those in high positions were all such quick-succession and brainless people.

Fortunately, there is more good news waiting for her.

The first one was Xiao Quji. After he isolated himself that day, he caught a fever at night, which scared everyone. Fortunately, after Jin Yan's observation, he was just sick due to overwork, not infected with the plague.

Secondly, the epidemic in the south of the city was brought under initial control.

The news brought by the personal guards made Jin Yan feel even more relieved.

The dispute over the crown prince has caused chaos in the court. Even the emperor's orders cannot stop the desires and ambitions in people's hearts.

There is no smoke of gunpowder in the war in the court, but it is full of attacks from both sides that are hard to guard against. If you make a wrong step by mistake, you will lose your retreat and even be doomed. However, this does not affect their instinct to rush to the pinnacle of power.

Just like the confrontation in the harem, it was like a spring breeze that moistened everything silently. By the time you discovered it, the place had become a bloody mudflat and there were piles of bones underground.

While these bigwigs were fighting each other to the death, the city of Chang'an had already become a mess.

The powerful people were all worried about their own safety, fearing that they would wake up one day and become traitors colluding with the North. Although they did want to play both sides and bet on both sides, so that no matter who won between the North and the court, they would not suffer too much loss.

But who could have thought that the emperor would suddenly go crazy?
"Forced house search?"

"Support the front line?"

Upon hearing that the emperor had ordered the confiscation of a large number of powerful people's wealth under the pretext of supporting the army with food and fodder, Jin Yan began to wonder if he had heard some false news.

But this is news sent by my cousin, so it cannot be false.

So, what does the emperor think?

Is it true, as the prince said, that he has become too stupid and out of his mind?
After a moment's silence, Jin Yan said, "No matter what he thinks, this matter is beneficial to us. The emperor has helped us so much, we can't just sit there and wait for death, so..."

She asked her personal guards to immediately pass orders, asking intelligence personnel in various places to spread the news as quickly as possible and to ensure that those powerful families understood the emperor's intentions.

It is true that the powerful families are a cancer, but they are also really useful.

The emperor didn't want them, so the North had no choice but to compromise and accept their embrace with tears!
