"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 537
The Far Eastern Dynasty, the capital of the king.
Around the majestic and majestic Qinzheng Hall, there are guards wearing standard armor. They have three steps, one post and five steps, making this place heavily guarded.
It's just that the soldiers of the imperial guards wore plain onyx over the standard armor, and white lanterns were hung everywhere in the imperial city, and the air was filled with a low and mournful atmosphere.
On the night of the chaos in the royal capital, the old emperor also died. The victorious prince ordered that the whole country mourn the old emperor who had been murdered by rebellion.
?Not only are there no singing songs and swallow dances in the imperial city, but the officials in the royal capital and the provincial government also wear sackcloth and filial piety to pay homage to the old emperor who passed away.
The Far Eastern Dynasty has just experienced a serious rebellion, and now the old emperor has died again, which can be said to be even worse.
Now the Far Eastern Dynasty is shrouded in a gloomy and depressed atmosphere, and many provinces and counties are even more turbulent.
In the Palace of Qinzheng, the crown prince was sitting at the head in plain ton, the general Hu Ziyang, the town general Liang Bin, and the new right prime minister Yan Jing stood with their hands tied.
"His Royal Highness, in the past few days, we have arrested and killed three hundred and twenty-one officials of rank three and above who participated in the conspiracy."
"There are one hundred and thirty-five military and military families who secretly participated in the conspiracy, and thirty-one of them have ransacked their families and exterminated their families, and the rest have fled to various places and are being hunted down."
"The eleven generals of the third rank and above who participated in the conspiracy of the Imperial Guard have all been arrested and executed."
Yan Jing held a copy of the results of the past few days in his hand, and his passionate voice echoed in the empty hall.
In a short period of time, many meritorious families in the royal capital that had lasted for more than a hundred years were uprooted due to the influence of the conspiracy.
?Except for high-ranking officials and generals at all levels, more than 100,000 people were implicated, resulting in the overcrowding of all the prisons in Gyeonggi Province.
The investigation department controlled by Yan Jing is also called the government and the opposition, and anyone who has ever opposed Yan Jing.
No matter how prominent he was, he is now labeled as treason and arrested and executed.
Yan Jing's investigation department replaced the various departments of the Far East Dynasty and directly exercised the power of arrest, interrogation and beheading.
Now, apart from the Imperial Guards and the Investigation Division, which are still operating normally, the imperial government's Prime Minister's Mansion, General's Mansion, and various subordinate departments have been paralyzed and difficult to operate.
The prince heard Yan Jing read out their series of victories. When he was happy that he had eliminated all potential threats, he also felt a little empty in his heart.
In the past, countless important ministers and nobles stared at him, and many princes who were not weak peeped at the throne.
Now the prince has almost wiped them all out, and now the prince has mastered the power of the court.
As long as the funeral of the old emperor is completed, the prince can ascend the throne as emperor without any hindrance.
Now that the power is suddenly in his hands, without any opponent, the prince also feels a sense of loss.
"Did the fourth brother catch it?"
Although Yan Jing and the others took the opportunity to eradicate many people, the fourth prince escaped, which made the prince still worry about it.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, we are hunting with all our strength."
The fourth prince was escorted by soldiers from the military family. He fled the royal capital in the chaos that day, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Yan Jing and the others were also busy suppressing the chaos in the city. After they took control of the capital, the fourth prince had already fled.
"Decree all provinces, prefectures and counties to arrest rebels, promote them to three ranks, and reward them with ten thousand gold."
The fourth prince was always a hidden danger, and the prince had no choice but to offer a generous reward.
"No¡ª¡ª"
The three people in the hall hurriedly handed over their hands and agreed.
"Now the imperial court is in troubled times, and there are rebellions and rebellions. You are all the pillars of my imperial court. I also ask you to put the overall situation first and stabilize the court."
The three people in the hall were all single-handedly promoted by the prince. Now that they hold important power, the prince has to rely on them to control the situation.
"Your Highness, please don't worry, we will definitely serve His Highness the Crown Prince with all our hearts." Yan Jing and others also expressed their loyalty again.
"Now that the imperial court has undergone such a major change, officials in various departments of the imperial court have also been implicated and dismissed. You draw up a list and all departments need to resume operation as soon as possible."
The prince also knew that it was impossible to maintain the operation of the court by relying solely on the Investigation Department and the Imperial Guard, so he also wanted to focus on restoring the operation of various departments.
"Although the turmoil has just gone through, Father, Emperor Bintian, naturally wants to hold a beautiful state funeral, and we must not lose the face of our great country."
"Yan Jing."
"My minister is here."
"You will be in charge of all matters related to the state funeral. Notify the envoys of various countries, the royal families, princes and princesses of various countries, the major families, the generals of the four major frontier armies with a rank above two, the governors and inspectors of various places, and officials above rank three in the capital all need to attend the funeral. "
"No."
"I'm tired too, you all should step back and report when you have something to do."
The prince has gone through a thrilling battle for the throne, and now that he has managed to stabilize the situation, he is also physically and mentally exhausted.
After Yan Jing and others heard the Prince's order to expel guests, they also left Qinzheng Hall one after another.
When the situation in the capital experienced some turmoil and stabilized, the fourth prince and his party were also out of danger.
Facing the prince's relentless pressure, the fourth prince decided to put all his eggs in one basket. He joined forces with the military family to overthrow the prince and became the prince himself.
It is a pity that the appearance of the imperial guards made them fall short, and the fourth prince was forced to flee.
Many military families who followed the fourth prince, except for some important personnel who fled with them, most of the family members encountered bloody revenge from the prince.
Fortunately, the influence of these military families in various places is also intertwined, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to stay.
After the fourth prince and others fled Gyeonggi Province, they ran all the way to Pingyang Province to the north of Gyeonggi Province before stopping to kick their breath.
Pingyang Province is the territory of the Tian family, a military family, and the governor of Pingyang Province is also a member of the Tian family.
The fourth prince and others shared meals and slept in the open, and received good hospitality in Pingyang Province. They finally had a hot meal and slept soundly.
"Fourth Highness, the 30,000 troops of the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard have already approached the province of Pingyang, while the province of Pingyuan has only more than 10,000 provincial garrison troops. They are definitely not opponents. Your Highness, please make a decision early."
As soon as the fourth prince settled down in Pingyang Province, the army sent by the prince had already chased after him.
In addition to the army that was chasing after him, the prince also ordered the world to wipe out the four princes and other rebels.
Now that the fourth prince has just experienced the failure of seizing power in the capital, and now he is labeled as a rebel, it can be said that it is a bad time.
"What should we do now?"
Hearing from the chief staff member that the prince's pursuers had already arrived, there were only more than 10,000 garrison troops in Pingyang province, and the fourth prince had already planned to continue to escape.
"Your Highness, if we keep running, we will be chased and intercepted, and sooner or later we will die."
"Now that you have lost your face anyway, the prince killed the king and planted it on your highness. Why do you have to swallow your anger? It's better to raise the banner of rebellion. I think there will be many people following you."
The prince framed the fourth prince as treason, which made the fourth prince feel that he couldn't argue.
Now hearing what the staff said, his eyes lit up. He could also say that the prince is rebellious. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
