Their faces were deathly pale, their bodies trembling, and they looked at the male protagonist with terror and fear.
sky!
Why did the Crown Prince of Heng suddenly come to Yunyang County?
And what's more, they happened to catch the moment when the students were bullying each other at the county school!
—No, that's not right.
The title "Crown Prince of Heng" no longer exists.
He should be called—
Crown Prince of the Regent.
During this festive season, all parts of the Great Yan region celebrated joyfully, dressed in red and green, and decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. But amidst all the red, only the capital city shone brightly in red—
Bright red blood flowed all over the Suzaku Avenue and covered every wall of the palace!
The shouts of battle echoed all night long, fireworks lit up the outer city of the capital, and the palace and imperial city were filled with the spirits of the dead.
—On New Year's Eve, the King of Zhao, together with the King of Qi, the King of Wei, and others, plotted a rebellion and instigated the Imperial Guards to lead troops to force the emperor to abdicate!
Fortunately, Prince Heng's heir, Jin Wenting, saw through everyone's treacherous plot, laid an ambush in advance, and led the capital army of Xishan Camp to crush the rebellion of the prince's men, killing all the rebel soldiers!
People say that you should stay up all night on New Year's Eve and not sleep. In the capital, on New Year's Eve, truly no one slept.
They were terrified that the moment they drifted off to sleep, the gates of their mansion would be kicked open and the Beijing army from the Western Hills camp, who would come to ransack their homes, would drag them out of their beds.
They, being such insignificant people, naturally did not know the specific details and outcome. The only news they received was that the rebel army involved in the treason was defeated in one fell swoop, the King of Zhao abandoned his wife and children and fled, and the entire households of the King of Qi and the King of Chu were executed.
Prince Jin Wenting, the heir apparent of the Prince of Heng, rescued Your Majesty from a perilous situation. His merit was unparalleled, and the whole country was devoted to him. Your Majesty was overjoyed and said that he was a virtuous and capable man, and should be entrusted with the affairs of state. He intended to abdicate the throne to his father, the Prince of Heng.
Prince Heng firmly declined the offer and instead recommended the posthumous grandson of the late Crown Prince, who had passed away four years earlier and was only three years old at the time, as the Crown Prince.
His Majesty, moved by his kind heart, specially appointed the Prince of Heng as Regent, and decreed: "From now on, all military and state affairs, large and small, shall be decided by the Regent, and then reported to the Emperor."
—This is the official news, but who can't guess the actual situation?
It was nothing more than a bloody battle for the throne, and the losers, including the King of Wei, either died without a complete corpse or fled abroad.
The victor, Prince Heng, seized power, but for the sake of a better reputation, he did not directly force his father to abdicate, but instead left the position to his puppet nephew.
The emperor has been sidelined and now spends his days indulging in pleasure in Da'an, while all important matters have been handed over to the regent.
Apart from the escaped King Zhao, King Qi and others who plotted rebellion, the entire government was executed, and members of the royal family were removed from the list. Their advisors and soldiers who resisted were almost all killed, while those who surrendered were spared but their units were disbanded and reorganized into the army.
At this time, the Crown Prince of Heng—no, now he should be called the Crown Prince of the Regent.
At this time, he should be in the capital helping his father, the king, with his affairs of state. How could he have time to come to Yunyang County in Yunzhou?
—By the way, although Jin Wenting's position as heir apparent was secure in the Hengwang Mansion, his half-brothers were still ambitious and always wanted to cause him trouble.
Coincidentally, Jin Wenting had seven half-brothers. During the coup, four of them died, two had their arms severed, and one was blinded by an eye injury.
The timing of the deaths and injuries was quite coincidental.
The dead and injured are even more coincidental.
The coincidence is so striking that it instills a sense of dread, especially towards the Regent Prince Jin Wenting!
However, no matter what people are thinking, these things cannot be said to outsiders.
Faced with the newly appointed Crown Prince Regent lamenting the plight of his "poor brother," they could only say with emotion: "Your Highness is kind and virtuous, and possesses both filial piety and brotherly love. You must not grieve excessively, lest it harm your health..."
The superficial relationship between superiors and subordinates in the political arena is evident.
