Chapter 187 Asking and cutting in court, Caishikou!

Yuan Hedi was still young, only in his early five years old, less than six years old, the age that he would not be able to enter school.Even, to say something detrimental to Longyan... He is not in good health because of beating the child, and the family loves him too much, lest he will be tired.So, this one, doesn't even know a few big characters! !

Speaking of which, the children of the royal family, who are in their early five years old, are not too young.Even the families of ordinary ministers, as long as the tutors are stricter, they can read through at the age of five, three, one hundred, one thousand (three-character scriptures, hundred-character surnames, and thousand-character scripts).Even, one day, those who are talented and smart may even pass elementary school smoothly.

But... as for our newly enthroned master of the Great Jin Dynasty——Emperor Yuanhe, this is not to mention studying. When I was a child, the family was most afraid of not being able to support him, and fearing that he would die halfway... As long as he does not die, don't say I can't read big characters anymore, I can do anything! !
They are both five years old, and Yuan and Di have to be hugged by their nanny when they walk, and they speak a little slowly, and they are not as big as a normal three-year-old child.To be honest, when he ascended the throne, Shen Cangyu and Empress Song had to accompany him on both sides, supporting him, and pushing him delicately to sit on Nuo Da's Holy Throne...

To be honest, in that scene... Shen Cangyu was afraid that the child would not be able to sit still, and would fall down on one end, and something bad would happen!
The first emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom who walked unsteadily and fell to his death... Shen Cangyu couldn't even imagine how it would be recorded in the history books.

The enthronement ceremony of the emperor of a country is indeed very cumbersome. After a whole day of etiquette, he kowtows and prays to the sky, and accepts the worship of the officials... Emperor Yuanhe is young and in poor health. After the ceremony, before halfway through, his expression changed.

At first it was white with blue in it, and in the afternoon it turned into blue with black in it, and finally almost swallowed, Shen Cangyu was so scared! !

——The hair is almost standing on end! !
However, fortunately, Empress Song encouraged and comforted her.Emperor Yuanhe finally insisted on the ceremony.It's just...he fell down the next day!

Going to court is definitely not going to work, and he couldn't even get out of bed when he got up, and he just cried "咕咕" when he asked, saying that his whole body was sore and weak.Scared Empress Song... Oh, no, it should be called Empress Dowager Song at this moment.

Anyway, on the first day of the emperor's ascension to the throne, he married the empress dowagers of the two palaces (Empress Song and Concubine Wu Shu) and the mother of Emperor Yuanhe, the former concubine of Gongjun, and now Empress Zhao.The three women were so frightened that their souls almost flew away.

You know, these three women all lost their husbands and sons... Oh, Queen Zhao didn't have a son... But it's true that they basically rely on Yuan and Emperor now.Even for the Empress Dowager Song who cooperated with Shen Cangyu, in recent years, before Shen Cangyu had completely stabilized her power and developed the ability to calm down everything, both Yuan and Emperor were indispensable.

The three women were in a hurry, and they called the imperial physicians of almost the entire imperial hospital. After careful diagnosis, careful judgment, cautious assumptions, and bold verification, the imperial physicians unanimously concluded that Yuan Hedi was—tired up! !

For five-year-old children, especially those who have never been trained before, have to be hugged when walking, and eat more milk than meals a day.The physical strength required for the enthronement ceremony really exceeded the limit of what Yuanhe Di could bear.

Ordinary children, if they are very tired, at most they will eat more and sleep more, and they will recover soon, but Yuan and Emperor...

His body was too weak, and there was no vitality in his body for him to recover by himself.That's why the current pair of hands are soft and feet are soft, and the whole body is soft, as if it is going to be paralyzed.

Moreover, the trouble is that he is too young, and he still feels a little emptiness.The tonic decoction can't be used for him, not to mention that it can't make up for it, but it will cause him a physical burden.

So, scratching their heads, the imperial doctors surrounded the imperial case, and found the pediatrician who had been treating Yuan Hedi. Countless people discussed it for more than two hours, and finally decided that medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements. Yuan Hedi can grow up safely, he can only take it slowly, making up too quickly is nothing but futile, maybe he will get better soon, but that is just a crooked method that damages the foundation and fools the surface. Not to mention that it won't get better at all, but it will also affect life expectancy.

Originally, Emperor Yuanhe was the heir son of Prince Gong, and when he was in the Prince's Mansion, an imperial doctor prescribed him a warming and tonic medicinal diet.However, the level of imperial doctor that a prince of the county can invite is definitely not comparable to that of the emperor.When Ping'er was the eldest son, only once every two or three months, Prince Gong asked Emperor Yongping to send an imperial doctor to help him recuperate.

This is because Emperor Yongping cared about his grandson, and the imperial doctors bestowed by him were all capable and capable, otherwise, both Yuanhe Emperor might not have survived to the present.

But... adjust the prescription every two or three months, and you are always surrounded by the top imperial doctors, taking the pulse every day and fine-tuning it every time, can it be the same?

It can be said that if Ping An'er hadn't ascended the throne, and his body couldn't keep up with the speed of growth as he got older, he might really not live to be an adult, and would die halfway.But, now... Ping An'er ascended the throne and became the emperor, surrounded by the top doctors in the entire Great Jin Kingdom, all around him, then the possibility of him surviving to adulthood will increase infinitely! !

The three women let out a sigh of relief when they learned that Emperor Yuanhe was not about to die just after ascending the throne, but that his physical condition was still doing a lot.In other words, when Emperor Yongping was still alive, the relationship between Empress Song and Concubine Wu Shu was rather weak.Concubine Wu Shu has a dull temperament and is rather deserted. She is not favored by Emperor Yongping, but because of her ambition and her son was born early, she is called the fourth concubine.

However, even if it is the fourth concubine, she will be the number one person when she speaks out.However, in those years, there was Concubine Pei on the top and Concubine Duan Xiurong on the bottom, and they were caught in the middle. Concubine Wu Shu had a very difficult life. Although she did not receive any material harsh treatment, she clearly existed and her status was quite high, but she was often ignored by others , that feeling is really not very good.

In the harem at that time, apart from Concubine Pei, Empress Song and Concubine Pei, in terms of status alone, Concubine Wu Shu was the highest, but hers, no matter whether it was the monthly silver or others, were quite a lot, but But they all agreed to send it off at the same time with a group of little nobles... Concubine Wu Shu knew that it was Concubine Pei and Duan Xiurong who were holding her back together, and they didn't want her to develop...

Anyway, even if she had a son, Concubine Wu Shu's position in the harem was very embarrassing for so many years, and the situation of Empress Song was somewhat similar.Therefore, even if they were not close in the past, their friendship was not good.But because Ping An'er was named the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces together... Concubine Wu Shu is still looking forward to Empress Song, respecting her as the "concubine" everywhere.

Even the mother-in-law Concubine Wu Shu is like this, and the newly promoted Empress Zhao dare not treat Empress Song, the mother-in-law!
After all, Wu Shu—no, she should be called Empress Dowager Wu.Empress Dowager Wu and Empress Zhao are not fools, why did Emperor Yuanhe ascend the throne?By what?Don't they know?You've been in the harem all your life, and you're still so naive?
The blood of the deposed prince and Yuan Hedi's father has not been dried yet!The Empress Dowager Wu lost her husband and son, and the Empress Zhao lost her husband...they definitely don't want to lose Yuan and Emperor again, this is their only hope of living.

Empress Dowager Wu's natal family, Wu Yushi's family is their trustworthy support.But, Wu Yushi... To be honest, although this guy has a good reputation, he is stern and selfless, and he is not afraid of power.But the work of the censor...is just a matter of offending people. He fights every day, participates in this and that, as if he has the right to do so, but in reality, it is just empty air! !

Not to mention comparing it with Shen Cangyu, who has the old blood of Rong Wang and the legacy of Weibei Wang, and who has developed a lot of power himself.Compared with Duan Sidao and Wu Yushi, they are far apart. At most, they can only help Yuan Hedi secretly from the sidelines, but it won't help much. If I really want to replace Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao, that is a daydream.

As for Empress Zhao... Hehe, as the former princess of Gongjun, her family background is also good. Her father is the principal of the Imperial Academy, the most noble official... But, it is a pity that the abolition of the crown prince made. On the contrary At that time, he sent his men to the capital to ransack the house. Empress Zhao's natal family--unfortunately, was in the house of the raided person.

Moreover, what is even more unfortunate is that a dozen or so troops sent by the abolished prince attacked more than a dozen officials... Although Lin Zimo went to save them everywhere, but in the end, with limited manpower, three families were not rescued and were wiped out.And Empress Zhao's natal family is in one of these three families.

Fathers and mothers, uncles and uncles, grandparents, cousins... In the Zhao family that has never been separated, except for the eldest brother of Empress Zhao who hid away because he was released as an official, the rest, none of them stayed, and all of them were left behind. The deposed prince has been wiped out!

So, really counting, Yuan and Emperor didn't have any background to rely on.Therefore, the Empress Dowager Song, who is obviously related to Shen Cangyu, the regent, is the existence of the Empress Dowager Wu and Empress Zhao who absolutely dare not be slow.

They are extremely respectful, and their attitude towards the Empress Dowager Song can almost be called cautious.

The Empress Dowager Song was also very satisfied with this. The reason why she cooperated with Shen Cangyu was not only to avenge Emperor Yongping, but also because she didn't want to live too aggrieved?If her situation is still the same as when Emperor Yongping was in power, then why is she risking her life to join forces with Shen Cangyu?

The Empress Dowager Song lived happily in the unrestrained life, so she also cared about Yuan Hedi, the concubine's grandson, every day she asked the doctor for medicine, beat the imperial doctor, and the Empress Dowager Song did it smoothly. I was very grateful to the Empress Dowager Wu and Queen Zhao.

However, no matter how meticulously he took care of him, where is Yuan Hedi's body? In a short period of time, not to mention going to court, he couldn't even get up and walk normally.

What's more, even if he can do it, who can count on a five-year-old who can't even read a word, or who dares to let him direct any major national affairs?The so-called court is nothing more than sitting there and putting on a show.

Naturally, Shen Cangyu handled all state affairs with affection! !
Otherwise, what kind of regent would he be if he wasted so much effort! !

However, the regent belongs to the regent, and Shen Cangyu still has no experience in handling state affairs.After all, even if you are smart, some things still have to be supported by systematic learning and rich experience.Especially in Shen Cangyu's position, every single thing that has happened can affect the entire Great Jin Kingdom!
Even if Shen Cangyu is cruel, he will be cautious and never dare to be careless when it concerns the common people.What's more, he himself is not cruel! !

Therefore, even if he won the battle with Duan Sidao, he would be regent smoothly.However, Shen Cangyu did not crowd out Duan Sidao and attack the descendants of the Duan family as the officials thought.On the contrary, he reused this old minister even more, with a respectful attitude, and asked for advice on everything.

It made those ministers who were neutral in the past or didn't respect Rong Wangfu enough to feel relieved a lot.

After all, Shen Cangyu tolerated people like Duan Sidao, not to mention them, although they didn't stand in line in time, they didn't hurt the people in the Rong Palace! !
The neutral ministers and those who had long surrendered were naturally overjoyed, complacent, and self-aware of their superior vision.And those who are on the wrong team... such as the lineage of King Chang'an, the lineage of King Gong, and the lineage of King Cheng, feel very nervous.

Chang'an Wang Yimai is fine.Although the main family is dead, Duan Sidao is still there to support him.In order to hinder the face of this veteran, even if Shen Cangyu subdued the officials of this line, his methods were still mild.The line of Prince Gong was divided into two parts, most of them took the initiative to vote for him, and a small part became royalists and voted for Wu Yushi.

The number of the lesser half is not too many, and after all Yuanhe Emperor has already ascended the throne, since he is young, he is also the emperor, and there should be some people under him.Not to mention Wu Yushi's temper... Shen Cangyu didn't care much about whether he could win over these people.

As for the lineage of King Cheng... Although King Cheng was lucky enough to save his life during the palace banquet, his arm was cut off and he lost his fertility.There is no hope of relying on children to turn over like King Rong... Cheng Junzi also resigned to his fate, and he will be a idle king in this life.

Anyway, as long as he is not targeted by the 'superior', relying on the newly promoted title of prince, he can always be rich and prosperous, and his life will be worry-free.After comparing Emperor Yuanhe and the Regent, King Cheng felt that... Ping An'er, a little kid, would definitely not be able to handle such an insidious and vicious Shen Cangyu, so he simply went to the door directly and took power in his hands, except for the merchants and bankers. , and gave Shen Cangyu all the rest.

——It's a vote of sincerity.

Just like that, the lineage of King Chang'an lingered, the lineage of King Gongjun was split into two, and the lineage of King Chengjun disappeared... However, this is not the worst!

The worst one is the lineage of the deposed prince! !

After all, not only the powerful subordinates, but also the uncle of the abolished prince, the original Chengengong Pei Chengsi, will be beheaded! !

……

Capital City, Meridian Gate, Caishikou!

At noon, the scorching sun added some warmth to the cold winter weather.

In the entrance of the vegetable market, there are crowds of people, bustling and bustling, and there are three layers of people watching the excitement, and the surrounding area of ​​a large vegetable market is blocked.

However, despite the fact that there are so many people around, and they are all poor people.But the scene was not very noisy, no one made any loud noises, it was just that everyone chatted and whispered.

As for why?What kind of excitement can make so many people gather here, and all of them are silent, as if they are a little scared...

The reason is very simple. Look at those knife-axe fighters with their bosoms loose, chest exposed, blood-stained steel knives, fleshy faces, and hideous faces in those winters on the wooden platform at Caishikou, and you can understand it! !

If you still can't, look at the bloody water all over the ground, the lying corpses without heads, and the other behind, row after row, scrambling, frightening the incontinent prisoners waiting to be hacked, then also almost!
Caishikouer - one of the "execution grounds" in the capital city where prisoners are beheaded, or gangsters, or corrupt officials who have corrupted history, anyway, those who have committed heinous crimes are all executed here.

However, like ordinary prisoners, even if they are sentenced to death, they are basically put into the prison first, grouped together, and then executed in the autumn.Like now, in the middle of the winter, it is really rare for the people in the capital to kill people with a knife just after the new year! !
Therefore, everyone came to join in the fun.

"It's time, take the prisoners!" On the wooden platform, the servant of the Ministry of Justice wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking down at the list full of names of the prisoners.All day, he has been doing this job almost all the time.

At the beginning, seeing one by one, he could see every day, his colleagues who went to court together were killed in front of his eyes, the minister of punishment still felt a bit creepy, he was really terrified.But this day has passed, and he has been completely numb after killing too many people.

"Xu Shaoyao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Shaoyao's wife Bai Shi, their sons Xu Rongwei, Xu Rongcheng, Xu Shaohui, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs..." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment looked at the list and read one by one...

"Bring the prisoner!!" Following his voice, the sword and ax hand escorted the prisoner onto the wooden platform, kicked his knees to make him kneel, and said harshly, "Please show me, my lord."

"Name verification." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment shouted hoarsely.

"Obey!" The knife and axe answered loudly.He came behind the Xu family and pulled their hair up to expose their faces, so that the hall official could come forward and examine them one by one.

The Xu family knelt there, feeling the cool air on their necks and the love of their scalps, their hips were trembling with fright, and it was not uncommon for them to lose control directly.If it wasn't for something stuffed in his mouth, he might have yelled out a long time ago.

"It's about to be killed!! There are more than a dozen this morning!" Outside the execution ground, the people watching the excitement whispered.

"Why on earth is this? It's a new year, so many people have been killed so badly! How unlucky!" Someone asked suspiciously.

"Hey, you don't know?" The lively person next to him quickly grabbed him and explained his confusion, "Didn't someone set fire to the house in the capital a few days ago? Didn't a lot of people die?"

"I know this, my aunt lives in the alley where the fire broke out, and the house is burned down!!"

"They set that fire!" Pointing to the Xu family on the stage, the person who explained the confusion said bitterly: "You don't know, the prince of our Dajin Kingdom, he made the emperor Lao Tzu's rebellion, and sent many The Xu family is one of his subordinates, the son of the Xu family is the one kneeling in the middle, what is the relationship between him and the prince?"

"What's the relationship?" The person who asked the question was full of doubts.

"It's the kind between men and men..." The answer was mysterious.

"What, a man and a man? Can two men get together? No wonder the crown prince wants to rebel?" The corner of his mouth twitched. He didn't know where he got the idea that a man and a man would definitely rebel. in conclusion.

Caishikou surrounded the audience, you talked to each other, telling people who didn’t know about the recent rebellion, rebellion and death, the abdication of the old emperor, and the enthronement of the young emperor over and over again...

At the end of the street, a carriage with a simple appearance remained quietly in the corner.

On the carriage, a corner of the blue cotton curtain was gently lifted, revealing a pair of excited and happy eyes behind it.

"Second Sister, you've got your divorce letter. Xu Rongcheng is about to be punished. Your suffering is finally over!" Sitting in the carriage, Luo Chuchen gently patted Luo Chuning's trembling body. Shoulder, comforted in a low voice.
