The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 358
In the early morning, the sound of the Dawn Drum resounded throughout the city, the square gate opened, and the gate of the city, which had been closed for seven days, slowly opened.

The vicious armored guards on the street have all disappeared, and the blood and sticks and other sundries on the ground have been cleaned up long ago. Marquis Wu in the square is patrolling the street as usual...

Everything has returned to the way it used to be, as if the turmoil of the previous ten days was an absurd nightmare. Now that the day is bright and people wake up from the dream, people should start a new life.

Of course, this is for ordinary people. For those kings and dignitaries, the days to come will not be so peaceful.

The first step is liquidation.

The sage was seriously ill, and the prince came forward to list all the officials and clans who participated in or were involved in the rebellion of the King of Wu.

This time the liquidation is very harsh, not only the chief culprit must be brought to justice, but also the rebels must be sentenced to prison.

King Wu, as the chief villain, was ordered to commit suicide, and his children were demoted to common people.

Hou Junji and other rebellious generals were also given to death, their family properties were confiscated, and their relatives were exiled to Lingnan.

There are also some clans that followed the chaos, all of them were demoted to common people.

As for those young people such as rangers and idlers, they were all sentenced to be beheaded.

For a time, the crying in the capital was loud, and there were criminal officials and their families who were exiled from the capital every day.

In this regard, the prince showed his rare strength, telling the world with iron and blood policy that anyone who dares to conspire against usurper will be killed without mercy.

"...Alas, the King of Shu has been demoted to the rank of County King. It is estimated that there will be no chance of being promoted to Prince in this lifetime."

Sitting in the main hall, Cui Youbo held a wine cup in his hand, took a sip of the clear Deluchun, and said with emotion.

"Being able to keep the throne is already an extrajudicial favor from the saint."

Xiao Nan didn't have much affection for this 'uncle', and he sincerely said that with his role in the rebellion of the King of Wu, he should be cut directly.

Only being reduced to the rank of king of the county, the saint must have moved his heart of compassion - Concubine Yang gave birth to two sons, and he has already killed one, and the other cannot be forgotten.

"This is actually..." Cui Youbo thought for a while, and he also felt that it was reasonable. He drank two more sips of wine and said, "By the way, I heard that Gao Yang was also ordered to commit suicide. Alas, Her Royal Highness specially sent her away to teach her. When we arrived at Ganye Temple, she escaped and insisted on making trouble with the King of Wu. Now it’s all right, even the saints are tired of her in the end.”

"..." For this princess, Xiao Nan has mixed feelings. On the one hand, she admires Gao Yang's unbridled freedom, but on the other hand, she feels that Gao Yang's desire for power and control is too strong.

In ancient times, it was not a good thing for a woman to have too much desire for power.

After the liquidation is over, the second step is to reward the credit.

All of the prince's cronies were rewarded, and even Cui Youbo, who was at home on leave, got a chance to be promoted. His rank was not high, he was only promoted by one level, but it showed the prince's attitude—although this guy didn't do anything important, But if he is loyal to Gu, Gu will give him a future.

Although Cui Youbo was happy to be promoted to an official position for nothing, he also lacked confidence.

Seeing him, Xiao Nan persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much. If you feel ashamed of the importance you attach to the Crown Prince, then work hard to successfully develop movable type printing, and strive to give the Crown Prince a big gift before the end of the year."

The rebellion of King Wu had just subsided, and both the court and the capital were in a state of confusion and panic. If there was any happy event to rush at this time, there would be unexpected results.

For the prince who won the victory by force, such a major event that can be passed down to future generations at this time will also have a great effect on him controlling the political situation and winning people's hearts.

Cui Youbo felt reasonable, "That's right, tomorrow I will go to the Hongwen Museum, and get the movable type printed as soon as possible. I don't ask for any rewards, but I just want to be worthy of the crown prince's respect."

Speaking of the importance, Cui Youbo seemed to remember something, put down the wine cup, and sighed: "That Li Guogong is really worthy of being one of the saint's most valued nephews. It is thanks to him to put down the chaos this time."

Especially those five trapped husbands, he was responsible for rescuing them, tsk tsk, talented people.

Li Guogong?Li Rong?

Hearing this name, Xiao Nan's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and a man in a black Hu suit appeared in his mind.

It stands to reason that Xiao Nan only met that person twice, strictly speaking, he only saw the real person once, but he left a very deep impression on Xiao Nan.

He is obviously a county prince appointed by the imperial court, and he is obviously the son of a prince, but he admires Ren Xia, and walks around like a ranger holding a sword all day long.

Let's say he is free and unrestrained. When the capital was in turmoil, he ran back thousands of miles to rescue him, broke into the imperial city single-handedly, and rescued the prince twice in succession amidst the chaos.

Then, he used the channel of the underground water channel to act as a messenger between the palace city and the military camps outside the city, sending messages non-stop, providing the most detailed and sufficient information for the empress and prince's layout.

In the end, he took a few familiar rangers and rescued Wu Xiang who was trapped in the chaos.

If you want to judge the best contribution award in the fight against chaos, Li Rong will definitely be the first.

Naturally, the queen and the prince would not forget Li Rong's meritorious deeds. No, when the prince rewarded Li Rong for his meritorious deeds, he directly promoted Li Rong to one level, from the county prince to the state prince, with a thousand households in the city.

In fact, when it comes to Li Rong's many achievements, Xiao Nan also played a role.

Especially the last item, if it wasn't for Xiao Nan's help, it would be impossible for Li Rong to contact his friends in the world, and it would be impossible for those people to sneak into the imperial city and find Wuxiang's prison.

However, Xiao Nan didn't want outsiders to know this, and she also repeatedly told Li Rong not to reveal her help to him.

Although Li Rong was puzzled, he still nodded in response.

And judging from the current rewarding situation, Li Rong also kept his promise and did not confess Xiao Nan.

For this point, Xiao Nan would also like to praise, "Well, Li Guogong is really capable."

After rewarding the meritorious officials, it is also necessary to provide compensation for officials who died or were injured in the turmoil and their relatives.

In addition, those female family members who were forcibly brought into Wu Wangfu on Princess Wu's birthday also received the court's compensation and condolences.

The two female family members of the Cui family were not left behind either. The second wife, Liu Shi, and the fourth wife, Yao Shi, both received rewards from the queen. There were not many things, but the price was in the heart, at least it showed the attitude of the nobles in the palace.

Mrs. Liu was fine. When accepting the reward, she said some words of gratitude, and then ordered someone to put away the things properly, and went to heal her wounds in peace.

In contrast, Yao shi was much more high-profile, he put the queen's reward in his mouth all day long, and pulled people to see the rewarded treasure at every turn, a little forgetful of complacency.

If it wasn't for the tense atmosphere in the capital, which is not suitable for entertainment and banquets, the Yao family would definitely hold a big banquet to let everyone in the capital know that Her Royal Highness the Queen remembered her and ordered someone to reward her.

In addition to the female relatives, the Wuxiang who was imprisoned for no reason was also the key target of the imperial court's appeasement.

In detail, apart from temporarily losing their freedom, the five ministers did not suffer much, at least they were not beaten or starved.

However, there is one point that everyone should not ignore, that is, few of the people who can become prime ministers are young people, and the youngest are all over [-] years old. Among the people, they are all 'old people'.

Being imprisoned suddenly, they were shocked, angry, and afraid. The five old people were really tossed.

Especially when escaping from danger, it was shuttling through the shadows of swords and swords. If you were not careful, you might be injured or even die. As soon as the five of them left the imperial city, they almost fell to the ground.

After being sent home, all of them fell seriously ill.

To this day, Cui Ze still consults the imperial physician every day and takes medicine every day.

There is another person whose condition is more serious than Wuxiang, and that is the sage.

Speaking of which, the sage is quite miserable. He was already in poor health, and seeing his favorite son rebel against him, and finally wanted his life, this is definitely not good for an emperor. Small hit.

Furious and angry, the saint's condition worsened several times. After returning to Taiji Palace from Mount Li, he fell ill.

When the prince was in liquidation, he got a lot of information about King Wu from some rebellious officials, such as some rebellious remarks on weekdays, such as the frequent expression of dissatisfaction with the prince and the saint...

When the sage saw these confessions and saw with his own eyes the many presumptuous clothes and decorations found from the Wu Palace, he fainted from anger.

After disposing of several unfilial sons and punishing his former confidant Hou Junji, the saint's body completely collapsed, sometimes comatose, sometimes sober, and he was no longer able to handle the government affairs normally.

The saint was critically ill, so the prince took over the government as a matter of course.And those humerus ministers in the court, under the double pressure of the saint and the empress, actually cooperated with the prince very much.

After a few days of running in, everyone was satisfied.

So far, all the officials in the court have understood one thing: the overall situation has been settled, and the crown prince will surely inherit the throne!
The important affairs of the court were settled one after another, and Xiao Nan also started to arrange the family affairs.

The first thing is that Yang Xiao enters the door.

"Mr. Yang, did Mrs. Yang send someone to deliver a letter?"

Xiao Nan remembered that Cui Youbo had written a letter to Luoyang before and sent a token to Aunt Yang, but then there was turmoil in the capital, the city gate was closed, and the information was blocked. Even if Aunt Yang sent the letter, it might be lost.

Cui Youbo thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, maybe something happened."

"Well, I think so, then let's write another letter to Luoyang."

Xiao Nanqu tapped the pocket table with his fingers, and said softly: "It's not good to delay this matter. Mr. Lang didn't know something. When Sanniang came back a few days ago, the sister-in-law of the lobby came to find me and asked Cousin Yang about it. thing.

After all, she is from our Rongshou Hall, so it is not good to always live next door. After a long time, people will gossip over there.It's okay for us to be criticized a few times, I'm afraid that if someone talks nonsense in front of cousin Yang, if she gets angry and makes her cousin fall ill, it will be bad. "

When Uncle Cui heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Someone is already gossiping? Well, I'd better listen to my lady, and I'll write to Luoyang again!"

PS: The status is not good for the past two days, and the update is not strong. I am really sorry. The double update will resume tomorrow. Please continue to support me!
