Donggong Zhangjiao

Nanninghou, who was in Kyoto, learned about the death of his wife, and secretly had a bad premonition in his heart.

After thinking about it all night, I decided to leave Kyoto first.

After all, all his belongings are in Huizhou.

But I never thought that it would be easy when he came, but hard to leave when he left.

Pei Yao directly sent someone to watch him. On the surface, he said that he would let the father and son go together after Yang Chengyu's case was settled, but Nanning Hou knew in his heart that he might not be able to leave.

Sure enough, one day later, Liu Qin rushed back to the capital with the evidence of the Nanning Marquis.

Apart from other things, the biggest thing was that the Marquis of Nanning collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, which led to the death of the old Duke of Qin.

"Your Majesty, Yang Song, Marquis of Nanning, instigated his son Yang Chengyu to secretly contact Shangyang Kingdom when he was in the army in Northern Xinjiang, and reached an agreement with Lin Chen, the current king of Shangyang Kingdom, who was still the prince at that time, to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!"

"Lin Chen pretended to be defeated, and designed to allow Yang Chengyu to capture Lin Cong, the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom, so that Yang Chengyu could perform meritorious service. In exchange, Yang Chengyu would help him get rid of the old Duke of Qin and General Xiao Huo and his son, and save Lin Cong. As the crown prince, Chen took the honor of leading the army and killed Lin Cong so that he would have one less legitimate rival."

"Just because Lin Chen promised that he didn't want to keep fighting with Da Qi and gave away gold and silver treasures, Yang Chengyu colluded with him. When the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom was assassinated in prison in Kyoto, it was also the handiwork of the Marquis of Nanning!"

In the Jinluan Hall, Liu Qin's words were sonorous and his eyes were full of anger.

After finishing speaking, he immediately handed over all the evidence of the Yang family's crimes that he had collected, and also brought up the witnesses.

With the gathering of personal and material evidence, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is impossible for the Yang family to make a comeback.

When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.

What's more, Pei Yao had endured this anger for a long time, so it was even more powerful when it exploded.

With almost a thunderous wrist, the entire Yang family was quickly uprooted.

At first Nanning Hou wanted to fight, after all he had made arrangements before going to Beijing to save his son.

But why didn't Ye Yunxiao go to Huizhou with his troops?
Should he follow the treacherous minister and commit the crime of beheading, bringing down the whole family, or should he surrender and remain the people of Daqi without any questioning from now on?

This is really a good choice.

Except for the three thousand private soldiers raised by the Nanning Marquis who actually fought with the men and horses led by Ye Yunxiao, the other soldiers under the Nanning Marquis were subdued without much effort.

Originally, they were also soldiers of the imperial court.

This bloodbath in the previous dynasty took ten days to calm down.

The Marquis of Nanning is also a hereditary title, with a big tree and deep roots.

As the saying goes, when you pull up a radish, you bring up the mud, and there are also a lot of small tumors that you can clean up along the way.

After Pei Yao ascended the throne, he had not yet opened Enke. He also planned to take advantage of this opportunity to clear out most of the corrupt officials who did not act in the government to make room for new blood.

As an emperor and a courtier, the old ones are easy to use, but the new ones, the team you have trained by yourself, must be more useful and more obedient.

After the previous matters were almost settled, Pei Yao took the time to visit the harem.

We first went to the Queen's Palace and sat there for half an hour, then turned around and came to Yuzhang Palace.

These days, he has been bored without being able to talk to Fang Yun openly and openly.

In the afternoon, I accompanied Fang Yun and the fourth prince to visit the Imperial Garden, and along the way, we also went to pick up the second princess from school.

He also stayed overnight that night.

With such intimacy, the previous coldness and alienation could not be seen.

It's just a matter of others, but the Queen already knows the reason.

"It turns out that the emperor not only informed me about the Yang family's affairs, but also informed Concubine Zhao."

Looking at the cup of hot tea on the table, the queen's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.Min Si bit her lip, "Concubines are not allowed to get involved in politics. The Queen is the mother of the country and she only contributes a little or two to state affairs. Why should she be called a noble concubine? The emperor loves her too much!"

"All right."

The queen raised her hand to silence Minsi's voice and frowned.

"Concubine Zhao only performed a few plays with the emperor in the harem. The few things she can do are indeed inconvenient for me due to my status. The emperor will come to see me today, and then go to Yuzhang. Palace, it shows that the emperor still respects this palace first in his heart. As long as the emperor knows it in his heart and does not mess with his dignity, Concubine Zhao will be as peaceful as before, and this palace will not be unable to tolerate her."

"But your Majesty, I'm worried that Concubine Zhao will be too pampered and the fourth prince will endanger the fifth prince in the future." Tian Mo hesitated to speak next to her.

But the queen still looked calm.

"The two children are only old this year, the fourth prince will only start studying next year, the fifth prince is not yet one year old, and the emperor is still young. Things in the future will not happen until ten or twenty years later. I am anxious to prepare for what has not happened yet. Let’s get rid of the familiar opponents first, then in the next ten or twenty years, how many people will we have to keep getting rid of out of fear in our hearts?”

At this point, the queen paused, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"This group of girls who are about to enter the draft have many outstanding family backgrounds. If Concubine Zhao does not suppress them on my behalf, it is very likely that the next Concubine Yang will appear."

After hearing the Queen's words, Min Si and Tim Mo understood in their hearts.

Compared with a newcomer who doesn't know his true nature, it is more reassuring to have an old acquaintance who has been with him for many years under his nose.

With the favored Concubine Zhao around, it would be difficult for the newcomer to get ahead, let alone threaten the queen's status.

Moreover, Concubine Zhao has no unusual or disrespectful behavior now, so there is no need to jump out and cause trouble.

The future will be restless. As the Queen said, it hasn't happened yet.

Fengxuan Palace felt at ease.

During this period of time in Yuzhang Palace, the honor and favor remained the same.

But things weren't so nice outside the palace.

The entire Nanning Marquis was beheaded, and his accomplices were punished for their crimes.

On the execution ground at Caishikou, countless heads fell off, which also showed the officials that although the new emperor was young, his methods were ruthless.

In the court, anyone involved with the Yang family is in danger.

However, Pei Yao does not blame everyone, such as the Lin family who are innocent but involved in this matter.

Pei Yao issued an order to cancel the marriage between the Lin family's second wife and Yang Chengyu, and bluntly praised the Lin family's second wife for her talent, beauty and dignified conduct. It was Yang Chengyu who was unlucky.

In this way, if the Lin family girl remarries, she will not be affected.

Who dares to say something bad about what the Emperor has praised so eloquently?
As for Prince Dun's Mansion, let's not mention it. Prince Dun knew the inside story and was acting with Pei Yao.

After what happened, the Queen's mother's family, the Lu family of the Duke of Hua, began to think about their position in the court.

The greatest prosperity will lead to decline. Prime Minister Lu naturally understands this truth after serving as an official for many years, and he also has a plan in mind.

However, compared to the previous dynasty which was still uneasy, the harem was much calmer.

In the Yuzhang Palace, after returning from greeting the queen, Fang Yun changed into comfortable clothes, sat in front of the dressing table, took out the earrings, and asked in a low voice.

"I remember that Yang should have been sentenced to death in these two days."

"It's just this afternoon." Qingrong was waiting on the side, "It has been delayed for a while. I said I was waiting for the previous matter to be finalized and punished together."

Fang Yun's face was pale.

"The queen wants her to hear the news of her mother's family's decline with her own ears. In that case, I will go there this afternoon and tell her about the things outside."
