"Impossible, this is a frame-up."
The Empress Dowager couldn't believe that Prince Fu would be so stupid as to give Emperor Shengwu such a big handle.
The Queen Mother really didn't know about Prince Fu's construction of an underground palace in Prince Fu's Mansion. She was confident that everything concerning Prince Fu was under her control, including the portrait that Prince Fu had made for the late Emperor. The Queen Mother knew everything about it.
But the Queen Mother didn't take it seriously, and even thought that Prince Fu's painting was very good.
As long as Emperor Shengwu died, the late emperor would keep Prince Changfu like this. It would just become an established fact and no one could refute it.
However, I didn't expect that the eldest princess had so many clear portraits of the late emperor from childhood to old age.
If the Queen Mother had known earlier, she would not have been so indulgent towards Prince Fu.
The Queen Mother was furious at the moment. If she couldn't find out the truth, she would make the Emperor and the Grand Princess suffer.
But the empress dowager was worried about the eldest princess and the emperor framing Prince Fu's mansion.
But thinking of the power of Qilin Guard, the Queen Mother felt a little relieved.
However, this time the Queen Mother was disappointed.
The Imperial Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and officials from the Dali Temple found not only dozens of dragon robes from Prince Fu's mansion, but also underground palaces, official robes, and a large number of armors and weapons.
King Fu is finished.
This is the understanding of everyone involved in the search.
These people were not only from Emperor Shengwu's party, but also from the Grand Princess and the Empress Dowager's party.
In order to prevent someone from accusing Emperor Shengwu of framing him, he generously asked the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess to participate in the search.
The result was something that Emperor Shengwu and the Grand Princess were both "happy to see" but also angry about.
When dozens of dragon robes, dragon thrones, and official robes were brought to Baohua Hall.
The facts are before our eyes, and the Queen Mother’s party has no way to defend themselves!
Prince Fu was sweating profusely, his whole body was as if soaked in water, sweat was all over his head and body was soaked, his eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.
Bang!
This time, the eunuchs behind Prince Fu were well prepared and caught Prince Fu.
But there was a large puddle of water on the ground, and an unpleasant odor filled the air...
The people near Prince Fu covered their noses and wished they could fly away immediately.
The Queen Mother's expression changed drastically, and she could no longer maintain her composure. She suddenly stood up and ran towards Prince Fu, "Fu'er! Ma'am, go and take a look."
"Prince"
"Father King"
"Empress Dowager"
"Quickly send a message to the imperial physician"
…
Prince Fu fell down and the Queen Mother also fainted.
"Yao'er, take Yao'er back to Yufu Palace first. I'm busy for a while."
There was an interest that was hard to conceal in Emperor Shengwu's tone. He actually didn't plan to deal with Prince Fu so hastily. He wanted to wait for a year or two until his son was older.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Since Prince Fu came to him, he just took advantage of the situation and closed the net.
Bei Lingyao was about to return to Yufu Palace with her son in her arms when Emperor Shengwu said, "I've already had Fengyi Palace tidied up. Yao'er can move in anytime."
"good"
Bei Lingyao did not refuse. Although Yufu Palace was not far from Taiji Palace, Fengyi Palace was closer.
Bei Lingyao returned to Yufu Palace and kept an eye on the affairs of Baohua Palace with her spiritual sense.
The Bei family has also left the palace safely.
However, many officials of the Empress Dowager Fu Wang's party were detained for investigation.
The rescued Prince Fu could not escape the fate of being demoted to a commoner and imprisoned.
All of Prince Fu's wives, concubines, and children were imprisoned in the clan residence.
A large amount of armor, weapons and money were selected from Prince Fu's palace and added to the national treasury.
There was also evidence such as the list found in Prince Fu's secret room. Those who were involved with Prince Fu were charged with treason, their homes were confiscated, and they were thrown into prison.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
The punishment may be exile at the least and extermination of three generations of the family at the worst.
Heads fell in the West Market, and the imperial city was stained with blood.
This time, the Empress Dowager and Prince Fu's party were almost wiped out.
The Liu family was also stripped of their title and exiled.
Once Prince Fu fell, a large number of his followers also fell, enriching the national treasury and Emperor Shengwu's private treasury.
Half of the aristocratic families in Daqian fell, and a large number of official positions in the court became vacant.
Emperor Shengwu added the special examination with a stroke of his pen.
The Empress Dowager was caught off guard by Emperor Shengwu's decisive and ruthless attack. She had no time to react at all, and her power was completely eliminated and disintegrated into pieces.
In Shou'an Palace, the empress dowager was lying on the bed with a cloth on her forehead, sighing and cursing Emperor Shengwu madly in her heart.
"Bastard, damned bastard, I will not let him go."
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with intense anger and resentment.
"Empress Dowager, what should we do? Will the Emperor harm the prince?"
Shou'an Palace Nanny wiped away her tears as she spoke. "Prince Fu's mansion has been sealed off, and the prince and his family have been imprisoned in the clan residence. I heard that the prince has fallen ill, and the imperial physician is not paying attention..."
The Queen Mother could no longer lie down. "Help me up."
For the sake of his reputation, Emperor Shengwu did not execute Prince Fu, but he secretly had many ways to kill Prince Fu.
How could the Queen Mother watch her own son die? Not only her son, but there were also a group of grandsons in the clan house waiting for her to save them.
"Prepare paper and ink for me."
The Queen Mother walked to the desk and wrote a few words.
Qiwu
A voice came from the air, "The subordinate is here."
"Take this jade pendant and a letter and send it to the Southwestern Army as soon as possible..."
"I obey your command."
Bei Lingyao has always been keeping an eye on Shou'an Palace. When Sheng Wushi gave her the Dragon Scale Guard, she arranged for people to keep an eye on Shou'an Palace.
It’s a pity that I didn’t pay attention to what the Empress Dowager wrote in the letter.
At this time, as soon as the Queen Mother's secret guards left, the Dragon Scale Guards also chased after them.
"Your Majesty, Lei Ting has something to report. The Queen Mother has sent the Qilin Guard to the southwest."
"Who's following?"
"An Ye and Feng Chi have already followed."
"good"
As expected of Emperor Shengwu's Dragon Scale Guard, he is very steady in his work.
"Who is there in the southwest? Who do you think the Queen Mother sent to the southwest to meet?"
Nanny Sun looked at Lei Ting and listened to his report: "The Liu family originally came from Jingchuan in the southwest. The southwest has always been secretly controlled by the Liu family. During the reign of the previous emperor, a powerful general was promoted to lead the southwest army."
Mighty general!
This was the late emperor's man. After Prince Fu came to power, he was poisoned to death by the Empress Dowager.
"Have someone keep an eye on General Weiwu. The Queen Mother may want to win him over, so we must not let her succeed. If General Weiwu is in danger, protect him."
Nanny Sun asked, "Your Majesty, do you think the Queen Mother will harm the mighty General?"
Bei Lingyao shook her head slightly. "I don't know why the Queen Mother sent the Qilin Guard to the southwest. However, if a powerful general is stationed in the southwest, any danger will cause chaos in the southwest, which will be extremely detrimental to Daqian."
Nanny Sun nodded. That’s true.
When Emperor Shengwu arrived, Bei Lingyao mentioned that the Empress Dowager had sent people to the southwest, wondering if it was to look for the mighty General.
Emperor Shengwu paused, "The mighty General was my martial arts teacher when I was young. He was loyal to the late emperor and refused my attempts to win him over when I was still the crown prince."
"What about the Emperor?"
"As long as he is loyal to the Great Qian Kingdom and helps us defend the southwest and keep it from becoming chaotic, I will not touch him."
At this point, Emperor Shengwu frowned, "If he joins forces with the Queen Mother, I won't be able to keep him."
