The next day, Xiao Yichen ordered people to post the charges of poisoning Concubine Lin to murder the emperor and Prince Zhaoming, and the charges that the Duke of Zhen Guo forced the palace to rebel.

Murdering the emperor, the prince, and launching a coup were all major crimes against the nine tribes, and countless officials were implicated.

The King of Qi was deprived of his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner, and had to guard the imperial mausoleum for life.

Adult men from general families such as the Commander of the Royal Forest Army and General Mingde were beheaded, and all the others were exiled to the frontiers.

Other officers and soldiers who followed in the rebellion, including the old, weak, women and children in their families, would be exiled to remote areas. The young men would be imprisoned as slaves, while the women would be demoted to a lowly status and sent to the Jiaofang Department or on the battlefield to work as military prostitutes.

Shen Jia strongly opposed sending these women to the battlefield.

Most men are animals that think with their lower bodies. If a military prostitute seduces a general, it will bring great hidden dangers. Fortunately, the emperor and Xiao Yichen accepted her opinion and finally used those women as official slaves.

The other Shen Jia did not intervene. The rebellion seriously threatened the emperor's rule. Once successful, it would shake the country and cause huge social turmoil. If a war broke out, it would also affect social security and threaten the personal safety of the people.

For several days, the execution ground was surrounded by people from the capital.

Shen Jia sent a servant from the mansion to watch. It was said that there was a river of blood at the execution ground and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Shen Zhuoyun and his family servants put Zhou Shaocheng's body into a coffin and buried it on Yanshan Mountain, thus fulfilling their father-son relationship.

As for the others, they were thrown into mass graves by the executioners.

It wasn't until April 20th that this incident really ended.

Shen Jia looked at Liang Lin, Yan Xiaohua, Lan Tang and Zhu Jinhua who came to say goodbye to her, and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"

"I plan to go out for a walk and come back after a year or two when people have forgotten about this incident." Liang Lin said.

Shen Jia took a thousand taels of silver from his purse and gave it to him: "I have no objection, but you have to tell your family."

"I don't want to go anywhere, I want to study." Lan Tang whispered.

He has no relatives, and he doesn’t know where to go after leaving his master’s house.

Shen Jia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will contact you a school in the suburbs of Beijing another day. You can study there for a year before entering a school in the capital."

"Thank you girl."

Yan Xiaohua and Zhu Jinhua said at the same time: "Girl, I want to follow you."

No matter how wonderful the outside world is, there is no way to feel comfortable and comfortable following a girl. And they all know themselves that without the girl, they are nothing, and whether they can survive is a question.

Shen Jia rubbed her chin and thought deeply. It was not impossible for Yan Xiaohua and Zhu Jinhua to stay in the capital. As long as they didn't run around, most people wouldn't recognize them. She had promised to find them a good husband and give them a generous dowry. .

She has many bachelors under her, these two are good-looking and smart, eh! You can put them together.

"Okay, you go to the embroidery workshop or grain farm to work first, and after a while I will introduce you to an outstanding man to be your husband."

Their faces instantly turned red, "Thank you, girl."

"This is what I promised you back then." Shen Jia smiled.

……

Xiao Yichen was very busy during this period. After this round of purges, many positions in the court were vacant. Jiang Shoufu, Minister of Civil Affairs and others kept making small moves, secretly trying to arrange their people to important positions.

The emperor and Xiao Yichen moved faster than them and had already arranged their people in the right positions. For example, Xu Shaoyu of Lingnan Bozhou was promoted from the fourth-rank magistrate to the third-rank Minister of Household Affairs, Wei Yuming also jumped from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the fourth-rank Wucheng prefect, and Qixuan was promoted from the fourth-rank prefect to the second-rank Lingnan Buzhishi, Chu Xingyu, Cheng Guangyuan...

After this round of purges, there are more and more royalists. When old families decline, new ones rise. This is an eternal truth.

The Shen family is undoubtedly the representative of the new family.

After experiencing such a big change, everyone needs to use happy things to dilute those bad memories.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor decided to hold a grand wedding banquet and left the banquet to the Crown Princess and Shen Jia, the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After Xiao Yichen went to court, he didn't even return to the palace. He took a carriage and went directly to the Duke Protector's Palace to tell Shen Jia the news.

He knew that Shen Jia didn't like complicated things, but neither the emperor nor he were willing to leave this matter to the concubines in the harem, so they had no choice but to work hard for the concubine and Jiajia.

Shen Jia was lying on the rocking chair in the yard and taking a nap, eh! Also known as thinking about life.

She rested her head on her hands, crossed her legs, and held a piece of garden grass in her mouth. Her posture was no different from that of a bandit.

The maids and servants in the yard were all ordered by Bai Kou to be gentle and not to make any noise, so as not to disturb her girl's rest.

Xiao Yichen entered Shen Jia's yard unimpeded and shook his head and laughed when he saw this.

Shen Jia knew that Xiao Yichen was coming as soon as he entered the courtyard, and wondered: "Hey! How come you, a busy man, have time to come to me today?"

As soon as Shen Jia said these words, she wanted to slap herself in the face. These words of resentment were definitely not her intention. She was just curious about why he came to her in court clothes today.

Xiao Yichen, with a smile on his face, sat on the small stool next to the rocking chair and held her hand, "Jiajia, do you miss me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't miss you." Shen Jia jumped up, speaking duplicity.

Xiao Yichen stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, gently caressing her jade-like face with his sharp-jointed fingers: "But I miss you, very much."

Thin and dense kisses fell on her forehead and her red lips.

After a long time, he let her go.

Shen Jia hugged his thin waist and leaned quietly in his arms to listen to each other's thoughts.

"Jiajia, Grandpa Huang has decided to let you and your mother-in-law be in charge of this wedding banquet." Xiao Yichen said slowly after calming down.

"Achen, does Grandpa Huang have any objections to me? Knowing that I am impatient, you still leave the banquet to me?"

Xiao Yichen nodded her forehead, "Sooner or later, this country must be handed over to us. You are the mother of the Zhou Dynasty, and the concubine is the queen mother of a country. The emperor wants to train you and the concubine, so he will leave the banquet to you. Come and do it.”

Shen Jia held her forehead, thinking that it would be fine if she didn't need to exercise. There would be a way to reach the mountain, and she would be able to do it naturally by then.

Besides, no one would dare to say anything about her identity at that time, even if she didn't do well.

She was about to refuse, but she saw Xiao Yichen's dark and deep eyes looking at her eagerly, alas! Shen Jia sighed lowly. She couldn't stand Xiao Yichen's eyes like this.

He is obviously the grandson of the emperor of a country who is decisive in killing and turning his hands into clouds and rain. How can he become a little naughty dog? But she just accepted him and couldn't bear to refuse, alas! The majestic Dark King has fallen!

Shen Jia secretly despised herself in her heart.

Xiao Yichen thought she was still unwilling, and asked anxiously: "Jiajia, are you really unwilling?" (End of Chapter)
