After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 650

Cao Gang was so thoughtful that he had to think too much.

He hurriedly sorted out all the situations in his hands.

Juncker had hinted to him before that it might be that those who had failed to compete for the throne had made a comeback.

He started investigating from this aspect.

There were four people who competed with Emperor Wenchang for the throne. They were Zhou Yue, the second prince who was later named the King of Qin, Zhou Feng, the fourth prince of the King of Qi, Zhou Ling, the fifth prince of the King of Chu, and Zhou Zhi, the seventh prince of the King of Yan.

Emperor Wenchang was the sixth in sequence, and was named King of Wei at that time.

Among them, King Qin and King Yan are the descendants of the former queens, and the Lu family of the queen's mother is a famous family for many generations, and the family influence is huge.

Therefore, King Qin and King Yan have a better chance of winning among the kings.

The king of Qin is honest and honest on the surface, but in fact he is scheming; the king of Yan is bold and loyal, and good at making friends.

It stands to reason that King Qin should have received more support as the head of the residence, but because King Yan has many contacts and a high reputation, the support for them within the Lu clan is only fifty to five.

The two brothers were able to unite and cooperate at the beginning, until they defeated King Qi and King Chu, they began to fight against each other.

Zhou Yan, the King of Wei, never came into their sight from the beginning to the end, because Zhou Yan's mother and concubine died early, and his mother's family declined, and no one supported him at all.He himself devoted all his energy to Ming Zhebao.

King Qin and King Yan fought each other, and their supporters naturally divided into opposing camps.

At that time, the first emperor was weak and the first empress died early, so the Lu clan could only let them decide the outcome.

In the beginning, the two brothers could still think of family affection and show mercy to each other, but later, they became more and more tense.

King Qin revealed that King Yan was raising private soldiers among the people, so King Yan accused King Qin of making private money and selling salt.

Both are felonies.

No matter how weak the late emperor was, he could not sit idly by, so he urgently sent the two princes to Beijing to make a statement.

The king of Qin conspired to launch a palace coup and ascended to power in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the king of Yan, who rushed back to the capital first, had secretly deployed an assassin to assassinate the late emperor, put the blame on the king of Qin, and wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.

At that time, although King Qin was away on business, all his family members stayed in Beijing, and they were all hijacked by King Yan to the palace.

The King of Qin had already made arrangements in the palace, and wanted to rob his family members, but unexpectedly failed, the two fought in the palace, and the palace was engulfed in flames.

At that time, Princess Jingyang, Rong Ke and others were all assisting Emperor Wenchang who was the king of Wei at that time.

Although Emperor Wenchang has a low sense of existence, he has a good reputation among civil and military officials. At that time, the eyeliner placed by Princess Jingyang in the palace had already spread the truth about King Qin and King Yan killing their fathers and brothers. There is Empress Dowager Chen as the internal response.

Therefore, the division of Wenchang Emperor Qinwang got many loyal ministers and good generals as vassals, and things went very smoothly.

After entering the palace, the rebellion was successfully suppressed. Emperor Wenchang was not in a hurry to arrest King Qin and King Yan, but personally led people to put out the fire and save people.

This has been greatly praised.

When the king of Qin and the king of Yan were found, they had already died under the arrows. As for whether they killed each other or were written by Emperor Wenchang, it cannot be tested.

However, their families were lost in the chaos.

Emperor Wenchang's adult brothers are gone, leaving a few young ones who can't bear the big responsibility. He also has the merits of being a diligent king, and he also got the jade seal lost in the palace change, and it is logical to become a great treasure.

The King of Qin, King Yan, was banished to common people for his unforgivable crimes, but the disaster did not reach his family members. Apart from being demoted to common people, his family members will not be held accountable.

The sons of the Kings of Qi and King Chu descended to the ranks.

And the young princes all obtained the titles early, and were divided into King Zhao, King Han, and King Liang, and brought their mother and concubine into the fief, and were not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.
