When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

The ministers all knew what the crime of treason was.

Even though Emperor Wen had always been kind and lenient to his sons before, he was not cruel this time.

Without the military seal, the Eighth Prince bribed the Jingji Guards by some unknown means - this was a conspiracy, and the bribed generals were also guilty of death.

And the Eighth Prince directly transferred the Jingji Guards to the palace, and even the imperial guards directly under the emperor were constrained, which was basically trampling on the emperor's dignity and life.

Who would believe that there was no rebellion, no rebellion, and it was just to clear the emperor's side?

The palace was suppressed and silent.

After talking about the treatment of Concubine De, Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with disappointment and chill, but he was extremely tired and sat in the chair for a long time without saying anything.

This emperor suffered a lot when he was young. The old prince's mansion suffered heavy casualties and psychological trauma. After ascending the throne, he especially cherished the queen who saved the situation and the only remaining Defei in the palace.

Perhaps he also had some intention of looking down on the world and didn't want the harem to become a mess, so he directly cancelled all the selections and gave up the benefits of the three palaces and six courtyards.

For so many years, only the queen and Defei accompanied him in the harem.

The queen acted decisively and held the power of regent; Defei was gentle and often took on the responsibility of serving the emperor.

Emperor Wen respected the queen and was always kind to Defei.

In the past, even if she made a mistake, as long as it was too much, most of them would turn a blind eye. But this time... this time, the mistakes made by the mother and son could not be pardoned no matter how tolerant and generous they were.

Emperor Wen calmed down the fleeting disappointment in his heart and said in a cold voice: "Please ask the Prime Minister and General Xuan to go to the suburbs together to convey my order. All the generals of the Capital Guard who participated in the rebellion, with a thousand households or more, will be executed with their entire families, and those with a thousand households or less will be executed. Those who participated without official positions will be ordered to be beaten with eighty military sticks each. Whether they live or die depends on their own luck."

"Yes." Prime Minister Ji and General Xuan bowed together to accept the order, "Your Highness obeys your order."

After speaking, the two took the lead to leave.

Emperor Wen was a little tired: "It is said that 'except for generals, the emperor's orders are not accepted', but you are so good, a prince can make you forget your duties and military rules, these things are not necessary to live."

Emperor Wen has been almost out of control of government affairs for so many years, and all major government affairs are decided by the queen. He has only started to attend court in the past six months, not to mention how long it has been since he got angry and dealt with so many people.

So that the censors who used to talk freely in court are completely speechless.

In all dynasties, as long as it involves rebellion, there has always been a river of blood, and no one has been lightly covered. It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.

Emperor Wen has been kind and tolerant for a long time, so that many people have forgotten that he is also an emperor. He can be tolerant, but the power to kill the emperor is always in his hands.

Touching the bottom line of the emperor, killing can not eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Jiang Yi said in a light tone, "We have survived so many days, and Li'er has returned safely, which is a happy event for us. Since Defei and her son have done what they should do, they should have anticipated such a result in advance. Your Majesty will not be angry again."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen was silent for a long time, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated: "The Queen is right."

We have survived so many days, and the situation will only get better little by little in the future.

I have tried my best to save my four sons. They don't cherish themselves, but always seek death. Even the gods can save them.

Emperor Wen sorted out his emotions a little, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Li: "Mu Cang didn't come back with you?"

"We are in the military camp outside the imperial city." Yan Li said, "We took control of the military camp yesterday, counted the number of rebels in the middle of the night, and drew up a list. Earlier, Yang Yi sent the military token of Jingjiwei out of the imperial city, and temporarily took charge of the military camp to appease the soldiers."

Emperor Wen nodded slowly: "You did a good job."

"The Ninth Prince is a god of war, and he is naturally better than ordinary people in controlling the military camp and appeasing the soldiers." Jiang Yi's face was full of smiles. He felt a little relieved, "You are indeed very suitable to be Li'er's son-in-law."

Emperor Wen nodded and looked at the ministers present: "The martial law at the palace gate has been relaxed, everyone can go home. You have been worried for the past few days. There will be no court tomorrow, and you can all go home and have a good rest for a day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen." The ministers saluted, "I will take my leave."

The officials walked out one after another, with a little fear after the disaster. When they stepped out of the hall, they saw Yan Yun lying on the spring stool without any reaction after being tortured. They knew that he had fainted from the pain.

But his body was obviously twitching, and his back and buttocks were bleeding, which was horrible.

The ministers were in mixed moods, and they didn't know what to say, so they left quickly.

In the next few days, the imperial city was destined to be peaceful.

Who knows how many people will be implicated and become the souls under the knife of the executioner outside the gate.

Only Emperor Wen, the Queen, Yan Li, and a group of palace maids were left in the palace.

"This time I come back, I plan to make you the heir." Emperor Wen motioned Yan Li to sit down, and the palace maid poured her tea, "Li'er, what do you think?"

Yan Li sipped the tea silently: "Let's make it."

Anyway, the four princes died or were injured, and the emperor and the queen had no other choice.

"Is this how you react?" Emperor Wen looked at her silently, always feeling that her reaction was too bland.

Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly and put down the teacup: "Do you want me to kneel down to thank you, and then say with trepidation that I can't take on the responsibility?"

Emperor Wen: "..." Logically speaking, there should be such a process.

Jiang Yi: "..."

"Those are all empty words." Yan Li smiled faintly, "I don't like to talk about empty words. If it's OK, it's OK. If it's OK, it's OK."

Emperor Wen's expression was a little subtle.

Although he knew that Yan Li wanted to be straightforward and honest, he didn't expect that he would be so straightforward and honest.

But it's better this way, much better than those false feelings.

Yan Li's tone is calmer: "Besides, the regent princess is actually much different from the crown prince, and it's not worth being ecstatic."

"Much different." Emperor Wen retorted, "The regent princess is just powerful, and the crown prince is qualified to inherit the throne."

Yan Li hummed, not sure.

"Then..." Emperor Wen hesitated for a moment, "What are your plans for your relationship with Mu Cang?"

Yan Li was silent for a moment, raised his hand and pointed outside the palace: "There is no sound outside."

Emperor Wen frowned: "Don't bother."

"How does the emperor plan to deal with Yan Yun?" Jiang Yi asked calmly, "If you want to kill him, don't bother, or let the guards in front of the palace add another ten sticks and beat him to death directly."

On the contrary, if you still want to kill him for the time being, send him back to the palace for treatment and see when it is appropriate to kill him.

"I'll go back to the Princess's Mansion first." Yan Li stood up and didn't care whether Yan Yun was dead or alive. "I'll have the meal in the palace. I have to clean up the mess outside. I don't have the mood to eat for the time being. I'll go to the palace with Mu Cang tonight. I'll go back to take a shower and change clothes now."
