The tip of the iceberg of Xinjun's plan has been revealed, and his will to complete the entire plan has been frankly revealed to the few insiders.
Under his strong suppression, Jiang Yashuang only used an excuse to rest late at night and went to the East Palace to see the Crown Princess once. Judging from his expression after returning, this should be the last time he saw her.
Since then, Jiang Yashuang has been guarding the spirit of Emperor Daxing peacefully. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to. The new emperor was very dissatisfied with his previous attempts to undermine him.
For the sake of the Crown Princess, he was allowed to go to the East Palace once.
After that, it was clear that people were sent to keep an eye on him, and they would follow him wherever he went, making it clear that they would not give him any chance to cause trouble again. Even Qiu Yilan was implicated and completely cut off contact with outside the palace.
In the eyes of most people who don't know what's going on, this is of course the new king's determination to support King Huijun to come to power, so in order to prevent Jiang Yashuang from causing trouble during the national mourning period, he took strict precautions and took every precaution!
The Huijun royal party was in such a happy mood!
They were happy, and the Chongjun royal party went crazy - but they didn't have enough force to threaten the new king. The leader was still detained in the palace and couldn't get out. No matter how crazy they were, there was nothing they could do!
In these days of turbulent undercurrents, the wake finally came to an end. The new monarch led the royal family members and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to carry the coffin of the emperor to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
At this time, emphasis is placed on generous burials.
Basically, when people get older, they start building tombs for themselves.
Before Emperor Zhaode ascended the throne, he had chosen a geomantic treasure land for himself in his hometown of Kui County.
But at that time, he was still just a Duke, and his status was different after he ascended the throne. Of course, the tomb that was built according to the standards of a Duke was no longer suitable for continued use. Fortunately, otherwise, the funeral procession would have to move at a slower pace to accommodate the coffin. If you really want to be buried in Kui County, don't even think about going back and forth for a year and a half.
How can the entire royal family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty pay attention to the burial of the Daxing Emperor this year
This imperial mausoleum, which has been hastily built and has not yet been completed, is actually not very close. According to the itinerary of the funeral procession, the round trip and burial ceremony will take at least two or three months.
The funeral coincided with the continuous autumn rain. Although it was official, it was very difficult to walk, so it was probably three months before the funeral.
In the bumpy palace car, Qiu Yilan advised her two young sons not to lift the curtains and look outside to prevent the wind and rain from invading the car. She looked at the capital that was gradually disappearing behind the team and sighed: "I don't know what will happen to this when I come back again." What will it be like in Jingli?"
Her father-in-law obviously planned to take advantage of the funeral to close the net - Qiu Yilan judged this because the "Crown Princess" was in better health and could barely get up, so she insisted on seeing her father-in-law off for the last time!
Calculating the time, the real crown princess should have passed away.
Now this one is just a reenactment of the last scene where the "Prince Lu" followed the Queen Mother Rui to Lu Di.
"Now that I think about it, my father-in-law said that my mother-in-law's injury was caused by hitting a rockery. It seems that she had a plan in advance!" Thinking of the figure who had to be supported by the new monarch to stand still when setting off - the figure is indeed very similar to the crown princess. , the face was covered with a veil, and when the wind blew, the traces of bandaging under the veil were revealed, which was an explanation for why the appearance was covered.
The East Palace has always only said that the Crown Princess suffered trauma. As for where and what kind of trauma she suffered, it is relatively vague.
Now many people think: "So the Crown Princess hurt her face? No one dared to say it carefully before."
"Although Your Majesty is about to hold your great-grandson, your body is still strong and healthy. The Crown Princess is already old and frail, and now she is injured like this... The three princes are already old, especially Prince Hui, who may be in trouble when he returns to the capital. I want to move into the East Palace! I don’t dare to have other thoughts, but if I have a son and a half, I will be a golden child after all! And the good thing is that there is a big age gap between the above brothers and sisters, so they can’t threaten anyone. , you can enjoy wealth with peace of mind, and you can also bring glory to your family!" Of course, there are many people who think this way.
These discussions were mixed in the long queue, and occasionally a few words came to Qiu Yilan, but she listened quietly without saying a word.
Such a reaction made Hibiscus and others feel a little uneasy, and they gradually stopped caring.
After my ears were clear, the journey became very boring.
Fortunately, there are a group of children in front of him. Just coaxing and serving them every day is enough to pass the time.
When the team finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum, Qiu Yilan was speechless when looking at the mausoleum that was obviously not even 50% complete: "How can we bury the emperor's grandfather like this?" There are signs of unfinished work everywhere on the bare mountain, okay
This cannot be blamed on the lack of dedication of the Ministry of Rites. After all, Emperor Zhaode has only been in power for a few years? The imperial mausoleum is no small matter, especially as Emperor Zhaode was the founding king of the Qin Dynasty. In the eyes of people at this time, his imperial mausoleum would affect the entire country of the Qin Dynasty. It took a year just to choose the place - this is already a symbol of the profound blessings of the Qin Dynasty. After all, it is not surprising for ordinary and fastidious people to spend several years and more than ten years choosing a cemetery, let alone the royal family
Who doesn’t want to create a good place for future generations that will be passed down for generations to come
But can such a good place be easily found
We will start construction after we find it. With the transportation conditions and construction standards at this time, it is already good to be able to repair it to the current point - this year is only the third year of Zhaode!
"The main tomb has been built in a hurry." Jiang Yashuang was not surprised by the scene in front of him. As Emperor Zhaode's favorite grandson, when this place was selected, he came to see it once on behalf of Emperor Zhaode. Of course He understood that the current progress was the result of his uncle Zhuang Mo's desperate efforts.
"Just bury it like this?"
"This is the only way!" Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "We can't wait here for construction, right?"
Then what year and month will we have to wait!
Since the venue is not powerful, the burial ceremony will certainly not be too glorious no matter how elaborate it is.
After finally completing the ceremony, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were about to return to the capital. At this time, an urgent report came from the capital that the remnants of the former Rui had entangled some of the imperial troops in rebellion!
The officials who accompanied the funeral were in an uproar!
In particular, the guard who sent the message said that there were many rebels, and the incident happened suddenly. When he broke out on the order of his superiors, one of the outer gates of the palace had been breached. The situation was so critical, and Emperor Daxing had already been buried. After going down, the new king, who was born in the army, was of course furious. He immediately asked someone to lead his horse and said: "I will lead my personal guards back to the capital first to see if these thieves have the guts to cause trouble in front of me." !”
All the civil and military officials were very confident that the new monarch could suppress the rebellion when he returned to Beijing. After all, he had been the general who had been Zhenbei for decades. He had killed Beihu, who had all the people in the army, as if they were nothing. There is a rebellion in the capital. It would be a joke to say that the new king cannot put an end to it!
However, if you have confidence, you have confidence. After all, the new king is no longer the general of Zhenbei, but the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. When the ministers heard that he was going to settle the matter in person, they must have persuaded him: "Your Majesty has a body of thousands of people, and how can mere thieves and thieves be worthy of Your Majesty's presence? There are all ministers in the court who can share your Majesty's worries!"
The civil servants said this because they considered that the emperor must have the airs of an emperor. Just because he knew how to fight, he could not always go to battle in person and lose his worth
The generals rushed to get the last word - such a ready opportunity to show their faces, if they let it go, they would be struck by lightning!
Although it is said that the remnants of Qianrui summoned many imperial guards to rebel, because the new monarch brought hundreds of officials and many family members to the funeral of Emperor Daxing, the accompanying troops were certainly not small. How many troops are there in the capital now
And those who can be brought out are elites. In the eyes of everyone here at the Imperial Mausoleum, this battle is completely caused by some people from Qianrui who got tired of living and jumped out to give them credit!
Naturally, everyone strives to be first.
"It's useless to fight anymore!" Qiu Yilan was in the temporary palace built at the foot of the emperor's mausoleum, listening to the noise coming from the main hall, and thought with complicated emotions, "The person responsible for countering the rebellion this time must be the 19th !”
The new king has been suppressing Prince Chongjun's lineage for several years in order to dig a hole. Now almost everyone who should jump into the hole has jumped in. He is ready to fill in the soil, and of course he has to lift up the heir he really likes!
Qiu Yilan estimated that this rebellion was 100% caused by the new king himself!
The purpose was to show Jiang Yashuang's face in order to prepare for his announcement of his preferred heir.
"Even if the remnants of Qianrui instigate the entire capital to rebel, they still won't be able to successfully rebel!"
"Anyone with some knowledge of the situation can deduce this."
"Then why are they rebelling?"
"Of course there is a purpose. Even a dead soldier cannot die in vain."
"For example, the rebellion in Beijing is actually just a pretense to attract attention. The real intention of the remnants of Qianrui is actually Xinjun - when Nineteenth leads his army back to Beijing to put down the rebellion, they use Xinjun Sakon's chess pieces to assassinate Xinjun! "
"It's a pity that the new monarch has great blessings, and the princess is eager to protect her husband and sacrifices herself to replace him. Unfortunately, the beauty is gone..."
"Everyone knows that Xin Jun has always respected the Crown Princess, otherwise he would not have been controlled by her for so many years - who would believe that Xin Jun would sacrifice the Crown Princess for a cruel trick? After all, at Xin Jun's age, even if he has a son, he may not be able to see it in person Seeing that he has grown up, two of his three sons are the crown prince’s biological sons! No one believes that the new king will spare the crown prince!”
"It's as if even Emperor Zhaode and King Lao Ji never thought that the reason why King Hui was abandoned was that the person who contributed the most was not King Dun, but the new king himself!"
"My beloved wife died in order to save Xin Jun. No matter how Xin Jun behaves, some people deserve it!"
"This play should finally come to an end at this point... Yes, people who have been kept in the dark for many years may not know it, but even the chief director Xinjun himself must be tired, right?"
Qiu Yilan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, smiled bitterly, threw half of the roses in her hand into the lotus pond not far away, turned around and went back to the house - this was most likely the arrangement of the new king. Many people and things were sacrificed in this process. It can be said that the future of Great Qin was opened up with blood, tears and bones.
The biggest beneficiary is not necessarily Xinjun himself, but his successor Jiang Yashuang.
Husband and wife are one, and Jiang Yashuang's interests are also equal to her interests.
But she was not happy at all - while enjoying the benefits, how could she not bear the guilt
She now understood that her husband had gone to great lengths to conceal the truth, not only so that she could show off in front of her parents-in-law, but also so that she would not be tortured by guilt, right
"After returning to Beijing, find a reason to take Bao'er over and raise her with Ying'er from now on!" Qiu Yilan entered the house and saw her daughter chasing her brother around the room and thought sadly, "How about this?" There are Huan'er and Gui'er..."
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled to herself, "Sure enough, Yiyu can die - when did I have such high integrity?"
Recalling the fierce and ruthless actions against the Lu family and Yang family in the past, it seems like it happened several lifetimes ago.
But counting the time, it’s only been a little over ten years now.
The years are so gentle and so cruel - without even realizing it, with just a moment of negligence, everything has changed.
