It was a good celebration banquet, but it ended with the queen being frightened and comatose, and the entire Qin family being imprisoned.
Such a result can't help but make people feel a little frightened, but facing King Yao whose own celebration banquet was messed up, he is not unhappy at all. It seems that he will fully support the current emperor.
In this way, some people with ulterior motives restrained their thoughts. They could clearly see the emperor's trick to scare the monkeys.
After the palace banquet ended, King Yao and his wife stayed in the palace for several hours with the queen's biological mother before leaving the palace and returning to their respective homes.
As for the other ministers, they were all still immersed in shock. Qin Shangshu was considered to be the most senior figure in the court, but the emperor was still merciless.
For a while, the remaining officials were thinking about themselves, and it seemed that they had to be more cautious in their actions.
Fortunately, the emperor is not very ruthless in his actions!
On the second day, the decree was announced in the palace.
The general meaning of the edict was that the daughter of the Qin family was rebellious and assassinated the empress at a palace banquet. The empress was frightened and almost injured the dragon fetus. However, after the imperial doctor's efforts to treat her, the empress, mother and son were finally safe.
This was a crime of treason, but the empress was kind and even though she was greatly frightened, she still begged for the Qin family and spared their family from the death penalty.
So the emperor just converted the Qin family into slaves and exiled them to the Moran border area.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, it not only shocked the ministers, but also gained a good reputation for the queen. It also silenced the ministers, making it impossible for them to raise any objections.
Some high-ranking ministers had already rushed to praise the queen's reputation in front of the emperor as soon as the imperial edict came out.
Since then, few people in the court have mentioned the matter of letting the emperor take a concubine, let alone the arrogant and domineering words of the empress.
The courtiers all seemed to be good officials who loved the people as their own children, and they only thought about national affairs and the country.
...
That day, at noon, the scorching summer sun was shining, as if the sun in the sky would never tire, making people dizzy.
A group of officers escorted a group of prisoners towards the outside of the capital.
I saw all the prisoners wearing prison uniforms, with handcuffs and shackles, clanking all the way to the prison car parked at the city gate.
As we walked along, there were people on the roadside pointing and saying something from time to time.
"Hey, look, isn't that the original Qin Shangshu? I heard that his daughter had always wanted to cling to the royal family, but the emperor and the queen were so affectionate, and the queen is now pregnant, the emperor was naturally unwilling to have a concubine. Unexpectedly His daughter actually dared to assassinate the queen in the main hall. Such a person should be damned! This is the fate of trying to climb a high branch. "
Some people watching the excitement poked the people around them and discussed.
"Yes, but I also heard that the Empress has actually begged for mercy for their family. She is really kind-hearted. She is worthy of being the Empress who cares about the world."
Another voice sounded!
"Yes, don't you know? The current Queen is the biological sister of our Princess Yao. Do you think that Princess Yao personally rescued many victims during the northern plague? She is such a kind-hearted person. My sister is naturally good too."
As soon as the queen was mentioned, some people started gossiping again.
"Well, King Yao has always been guarding our Tian'an. Princess Yao has also contributed to our Tian'an several times, making artillery and weapons. She is also very kind to us common people. The Queen is also so kind, Let me tell you, the Qin family deserved this end!"
The original man nodded fiercely and said again.
Speaking of the Qin family, the people had something to say again.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that not only the daughter of the Qin family is vicious, but their son is also not bad at all. I heard that last month, the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Shuhuai, robbed a woman from the public. , I killed him to death in less than two days. Hey, what a sin. Now the retribution has come!"
Another person lamented and said.
"No, then the government won't care about this?" one person asked doubtfully.
"Hey, the Qin family is very familiar with him and is a high-ranking official. He is rich and powerful after all. I heard that after someone died, the Qin family went to someone from that family, gave him a lot of money, and threatened him. If they dare to sue the officials, they will kill their whole family, who will care? "
The man sighed again and opened his mouth to explain.
"What a family of black-hearted people, worse than pigs and dogs. This is such a waste of human life!" Someone couldn't help but cursed.
The discussions of these people have long stopped in the ears of the Qin family, but Qin Minglang already looked haggard and lost, as if he had not heard these people's words at all, and walked forward mechanically, as if A corpse drained of its soul.
But some young and energetic people couldn't help it. For example, Qin Shuhuai, whom those people mentioned just now, had a fierce look on his face and was about to pounce on the people next to him.
But the shackles on his feet, which were tied to everyone, stopped him from moving. However, this movement attracted the officials who were escorting the prisoner.
The official seemed to be used to dealing with such things. He raised his hand and whipped Qin Shuhuai hard on the back.
He gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain. He was about to curse when he heard the official scolding him angrily.
"Be honest and suffer less physical pain. Maybe you can still make it to the frontier alive. Now that you've reached this point, you still think you are that high-ranking young master!"
The officer sneered coldly and glanced at Qin Shuhuai's slender face. The words were obviously meant for him.
As soon as he heard the question of whether he could make it to the border alive, Qin Shuhuai's anger instantly evaporated, and he followed him obediently into the prison car.
As soon as they got into the prison car, the women who had been staying patiently couldn't help but cry. Are they going to leave the capital like this and never have the chance to come back
Listening to the whimpering of those women, the officials became agitated again. It was such a hot day and they had to hurry.
Suddenly the whip crackled on the prison car again, making all the women tremble and stop crying at the same time.
"Let's go!"
Following a word from the leading officer, the prison car began to move forward slowly.
In this way, the Qin family gradually moved away from the capital amidst the scoldings and accusations of the people, and no one came to see them off.
I think so, who would dare to deliver it in such a situation
It's just that Qin Minglang, who was sitting quietly in the prison car, never reacted at all. Even if his son was beaten, scolded, and no matter how unpleasant the words were said, he seemed to be unable to hear...
