Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 253 The civil strife in Yu
In ancient times, there was a kind of funeral called child mourning, that is, the funeral of infants and young children, and sometimes unmarried men and women under the age of twenty.

Children who are bereaved will not be buried at home. They will be buried immediately after death and no funeral ceremony will be held.

Of course, rules are dead but people are alive. Pingchang Wang Fujing lost her beloved son and had to hold a funeral for him, and no one else could criticize her.

Fu Jian, who was ill, also sent Fu Jian, King of the East China Sea, to express his condolences.

But Fu Jian didn't know that Fu Jing insisted on holding a funeral for her son at home. She also wanted to use this opportunity to win over like-minded people, and at the same time, she kept in close contact with her confidants and exchanged information.

The matter was done secretly, and Fu Jian was not aware of it.

In fact, it was difficult for Fu Jian to detect Fu Jing's ambition, because during Fu Jing's funeral for his son, Fu Jian's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he could not still think about Fu Jing.

In the eleventh year of Yonghe (AD 355), on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Fu Jian was critically ill and unconscious. Empress Qiang was at a loss. Fortunately, Fu Jian reminded her and she quickly ordered the palace to be sealed. Without her order, no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace.

He also sent his trusted eunuchs to the East Palace to summon Prince Fu to come.

The palace gate was closed in broad daylight, which naturally aroused everyone's suspicion. Fu Jing's confidants all came to Pingchang Palace in the name of condolences.

"Now that the matter has come to this, we have no way out and can only fight towards Miyagi City.

“If great things are accomplished, there will be inexhaustible glory and wealth, and inexhaustible gold, silver, silk and satin.

"Okay! Everything is done today. I will give you promotions and promotions. It's a matter of course!"

Everyone was waiting for this day with fear.

"If things don't work out, I'll die without a burial place!"

At this time, the changes in the East Palace had already been known to Queen Qiang, Fu Sheng and others.

"Lock the door during the day, there will be big changes in the palace! His Majesty will undoubtedly be buried in the sky, I will take a preemptive strike!"

Jinyang, East Palace.

When Fu Jing led her army to attack the East Palace, and finally broke through the gate of the East Palace, she discovered that Fu Sheng was not in the East Palace, but had been summoned by Queen Qiang to attend the palace.

As for Fu Jing, she thought she was overly sad and is now recuperating at home.

However, something went wrong at the first step of the plan.

Fu Jing had a livid face and said to everyone:

But he was in particularly good spirits today because his uncle Fu Jian's life and death were uncertain. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Fu Jing was overjoyed:

In order to fit the image of grief, Fu Jing had been eating only gruel for a long time, so she was very weak.

These days, Fu Jing has been planning this palace change. He has made many detailed plans. He arranges who should be at what time and what should be done one by one to ensure safety.

Fu Jing said excitedly to her confidants:

After hearing this, everyone wanted to kill Xiangdong Palace with Fu Jing immediately. They first beheaded Fu Sheng, and then drank the celebration wine with Fu Jing in the main hall.

Fu Jing didn't need to remind him about this matter, everyone knew it by heart, and they immediately turned to the palace with him.

Ignoring Queen Qiang's dissuasion, Fu Sheng put on his armor and went to defend himself against the enemy.

"We are willing to follow your Majesty and make great plans together!"

As General Longxiang, Fu Jian naturally couldn't hide behind him in times of crisis. He shouted to Fu Sheng:

"Your Highness, please allow me to accompany you!"

Fu Sheng stopped and glanced at his cousin. To be honest, he didn't like this cousin in his heart. He always felt that he looked like a Jin person, more than a Di person.

Of course, what's more important is that Fu Jian was deeply loved by his grandfather Fu Hong since he was a child. As for Fu Sheng, Fu Hong wanted to kill him with his own hands.

But if Fu Jian hadn't suggested it to his mother today, he might have been killed by Fu Jing in the East Palace. This made Fu Sheng feel a little fond of Fu Jian. He nodded and said:

"The King of East China Sea is Jiraiya!"

The two left one after another. In the dormitory, only Queen Qiang was still there, lowering her head to cover her tears.

After a long time, someone suddenly said in a weak voice:
"Queen, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

After hearing this, Empress Qiang raised her head and saw that it was Fu Jian who had woken up. She was overjoyed and cried in front of the bed:
"Your Majesty! The King of Pingchang is plotting rebellion and is now leading his troops to invade."

Fu Jian was shocked at first, but then quickly calmed down, and comforted him:
"It doesn't matter. Since I'm not dead, it's the rebellious officials and traitors like them who should die."

Of course Fu Jian had the confidence to say this. With his prestige in the army, Fu Jian believed that as long as he showed up, the rebel army would collapse without a fight.

As he spoke, Fu Jian stretched out his hand and said:

"Hel me up."

Queen Qiang hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, your body"

Fu Jian shook his head and said:
"I don't care about this anymore. If the rebels come to the palace, will I regret it?"

Empress Qiang couldn't help but tremble when she thought about the consequences of the rebels entering the palace. She hurriedly helped Fu Jian up and changed his clothes.

The battle outside the palace gate was fierce and anxious. Fu Sheng did not guard the palace gate, but led the imperial army out of the palace to fight.

Although Fu Sheng had never been on the battlefield, he was outstanding in martial arts. He was the best in stabbing, riding and shooting.

I saw the one-eyed Prince Yu leading the way, charging rampantly, and felt like he was in a deserted place among the rebels.

Even Fu Jing was frightened and shouted for the crossbowmen to shoot him to death.

But Fu Sheng was a fierce general who could ride alone into Huan Wen's formation in the original time and space, beheading generals and capturing flags more than ten times. How could he be easily injured by hidden arrows?

While the two sides were fighting fiercely outside the palace city, suddenly, thundering cheers erupted from the city wall:
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

For a moment, both sides on the battlefield stopped what they were doing and looked at the tower. The person wearing the imperial robe was not Fu Jian. Who else could it be.

Fu Jing's eyes widened and she roared:
"Fake! He is a fake! Fu Sheng killed his father, and I follow the late emperor's decree to avenge him!"

The rebels looked at each other in shock. On the city tower, Fu Jian signaled the imperial troops guarding the city wall to shout in unison:

"It's understandable that you were deceived by others. Today I only blame Fu Jing and her gang, and ignore the rest!"

This also became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Fu Jing's tribe surrendered one after another, and Fu Jing herself was captured by Fu Sheng, taken to the tower, and appeared in front of Fu Jian in a state of embarrassment.

Fu Jian was not as angry as he imagined. He said calmly:

"Jing'er, after your father was killed by Shi Hu, although I was lucky enough to survive, I was left in Yecheng as a hostage.

"If I remember correctly, you brothers were all raised by me. I ask you today, have I ever treated you badly over the years?"

Fu Jian did not call himself me, which showed that he was talking to Fu Jing as his uncle.

Fu Jing was so ashamed that she cried and said:

"Your Majesty has been so kind to me. How could I dare to forget that the sinner was at odds with the prince, just to protect himself. Now that the matter has come to this, I dare not ask for your majesty's forgiveness. I also ask your majesty to put me to death, but please forgive the sinner's wife and children." .”

Fu Jian was silent for a long time and said:
"I'm sure."

Fu Jing heard this and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
