Defense
The two cranes flew away, their long and mournful cries leaving only one cry behind.
kill.
The imperial concubine was the crown prince, and Prince Qing pretended to be his vassal.
Lizheng Palace and the Eastern Palace were not in a hurry to eradicate Prince Qing's gang, but were busy with other licentious affairs that were causing trouble.
Missed the opportunity.
In less than half a year, the Guo family caused chaos and Chang'an was in turmoil.
Wang Xiang, who was deposed by the sage, refused to accept Concubine Guo as his queen in his early years, thus offending the concubine's entire family.
Prince Xiang moved into the Eastern Palace and took over power on behalf of the sage. The Wang family was imprisoned for a false charge and was soon exiled to Qianzhou.
Princess Qing's mother's surname is Wang, and she is the same king as Prime Minister Wang, who is the princess's maternal grandfather.
Guizhou is a remote and desolate place, and the prisoners have to walk step by step on the road to exile. The cruel officials are brutal, and the Wang family members are covered with injuries. It is still unknown whether they can reach Guizhou alive.
The Guo family was so powerful that no one in Chang'an City dared to help them.
I couldn't bear to see the princess worrying day and night, so I asked Yuan Xiao to go and watch over her secretly. Yuan Xiao had lived in Xinglin for a long time and seldom went out. He was a stranger in Chang'an. He was originally from Shu, so it made sense for him to go to Qianzhou.
The emperor doted on the imperial concubine and not only took good care of the Guo family, but even Guo's original husband, who had no merit or ability, was rewarded with gold and a title.
The original wife's son was Princess Wanshou, and the imperial concubine was in power. The princess was humiliated and abused by the prince consort and the concubine, and beaten with a horse whip. The princess returned to the palace and cried, but the saint remained silent and pretended not to see it.
The news of the princess being humiliated spread throughout Chang'an, and Huayang told me about it secretly.
Even the son of the original wife was like this. Guo's nephew wanted to marry the wife of Prince Jiangdu as a concubine. Prince Jiangdu fled Chang'an with his wife and their whereabouts are still unknown. The Guo family held the Prince of Jiangdu's Mansion accountable and tried their best to hunt down the Prince and his wife. Only then did they let down their guard against Prince Qing's Mansion.
The Guo family is appalling, and the Li family is no less so.
Princess Chengyang tried to seize the consort of Princess Zhending, Lu. The Lu family appealed to the emperor, but the emperor made Lu the consort of the county lord again, demoted Princess Zhending to a commoner, and imprisoned her in a Taoist temple.
During the days when the rebellion broke out in Prince Qing's Mansion, Taiji Palace was busy preparing for the wedding of Princess Chengyang and Prince Consort Lu.
The Guo family was born in Chang'an and has coveted Chang'an for many years. Their marriage must be with the royal family or the Five Surnames.
Princess Taikang had only one daughter, and Prince Changle also had only one daughter.
Princess Taikang had only one son, and Prince Changle also had only one son.
The Princess Yunyang and the Princess Yiyang, the son of the princess and the son of the prince, were all born beautiful and romantic. The descendants of the Guo family were of low status and vulgar. Yunyang refused to agree to marry, and Yiyang swore not to marry. The Guo family refused to let her go and asked the emperor to issue an edict to force the marriage to the princess's mansion and the prince's mansion.
In his early years, the prince felt guilty towards my uncle. As soon as my uncle returned to Chang'an, the prince personally drove to meet him and promised him the position of prime minister. Because my uncle had no sons or daughters, the prince also promised a royal marriage to my uncle's niece. My uncle's niece is me. As for the royal marriage, the prince wanted to make me the Crown Prince's Consort.
Concubine Guo doesn't allow it, the Crown Princess doesn't allow it, and I don't want to do it even more.
The Crown Princess had only one son, and the Crown Prince had been on a hunger strike for three days. The Holy Concubine finally granted the Crown Prince's wish.
The Crown Prince came to the Yan family and wanted to take me to the palace to be educated. Fortunately, I was in mourning period, so I had an excuse to refuse.
It's quite strange. Everyone says that the crown prince has a capricious temper, but he is very obedient to me and even lets me play with the crown prince's jade talisman.
The Crown Prince looks like Li Er and has a face like Li San. I don’t like him.
The Guo family's in-laws invaded fertile farmland and occupied granaries, abducted women, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities, treating human life as worthless. I am even more disgusted by this.
After my father died, my uncle used the name of a Taoist temple to perform various rituals for my father for 49 days.
The border troops disguised themselves as Taoist priests and entered Chang'an City through various gates. After entering the city, they hid in various streets and alleys of Chang'an.
Prince Qing, Princess Taikang, Princess Wanshou, Prince Changle, and Prince Jiangxia, the brother of Prince Jiangdu, all had their own troops, and five households with the same surname conspired together.
Execute the Guo family, kill the relatives by marriage, and purge the emperor's side.
The night before the uprising at Prince Qing's Palace, my brother invited the generals of the Sixteen Guards to Yan's house for a drink. While they were drunk, my brother took advantage of them and cut off their heads.
There were spies of my brother everywhere in the Sixteen Guards. Overnight, my brother had a firm control over the Sixteen Guards.
Before the mutiny, the princess comforted the soldiers in the palace.
Among all the sons in the palace, only the crown prince accompanied the king and his father. The crown prince rarely showed his joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, and the youngest son found it difficult to hide his thoughts, so he was present.
I am the only daughter of the prince's mansion. Apart from Huayang, I am the eldest. Moreover, I have a vicious heart and I don't speak nonsense, so I am here.
Before the generals set out for the battle, the king divided a jade disk into two halves, giving half to the prince and the other half to me.
The prince took it slowly, probably reluctantly.
I was also reluctant.
My king, don’t give me the good ones, only the broken, missing and incomplete ones. Give only the leftovers to my prince, the ones he doesn’t want.
I am not happy about using the same thing as the prince.
I didn't like this half piece of jade, but everyone was looking at me, so I finally took it without changing my expression.
The generals and soldiers left the palace, the Marquis of Wu was blinded, the Imperial Guards covered their ears, the court officials fled, and each neighborhood spontaneously closed their doors and did not go out. The East and West Markets were closed for a day.
A bloody coup took place in broad daylight.
The descendants of Cui, the mother's family of Prince Qing, pretended to curry favor with the Crown Prince. Cui Shangtao, the son of the Cui family, secretly opened the palace gate and colluded with the people inside and outside the Prince Qing's mansion.
Prince Qing and his son shot and killed Prince Donggong and his son. The heads of the crown prince and grandson were chopped off by Prince Qing and hung above the palace gate.
Don't release it for seven days.
I wanted to return the prince's jade talisman to the grandson. I searched everywhere but couldn't find his body. My brother secretly told me that the prince ordered the Jinwu Marquis to drag the remaining half of the grandson's body away and feed it to the vicious dogs.
My brother had a look of something he was trying to hide, but I didn't think it was a big deal. Perhaps it was because the Crown Prince almost took away his position as the heir to the throne, which was why the Prince hated him so much.
The winner takes all, this is the winner takes all.
Within one day, the king deposed the crown prince and the grandson in the name of the saint.
Wanshou killed the concubine of his son-in-law, Zhending killed Chengyang and took back his son-in-law, King Jiangxia killed Guo's nephew, and the princess and the prince eliminated the remnants of Guo's family.
All the male descendants of King Xiang of the Li family died, and the female relatives were buried with him.
In the entire Eastern Palace, there was only Princess Yuyang who was less than twelve years old.
All male descendants of the Guo family were killed, and those females who committed serious crimes were given wine and white silk, and the rest were punished by being sent to the palace as slaves.
As night fell, Chang'an was temporarily filled with an indescribable false tranquility.
The Taiji Palace was extremely lively that day.
The saint suddenly fell seriously ill, his eyes were old and dim, and he drank the poisoned wine handed to him by the Prince of Qing as medicine.
The prince has loved giving poisoned wine to others since he was young. At that time, I never thought that the saint would give me wine and kill me to be buried with him.
Concubine Guo was the ringleader and should have been executed immediately.
The princess pleaded for mercy to spare her life temporarily, and the imperial concubine and princess had no affection for each other as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Her plea was only to see her die with her own eyes. The prince punished the saint, and the imperial concubine Guo, who was the most favored in the six palaces, died with a piece of white silk in my hands.
I came out of Lizheng Palace and the prince left Yongle Palace. We were both traitors of the old dynasty and both heroes of the new dynasty.
Going east and west, I passed it by again.
This time, I stopped and the prince also stopped.
Not for the sake of humans, not for the sake of things, but for the sake of birds.
The imperial concubine's white peacock escaped from Lizheng Palace during the chaos. In the night, I saw a blood-red flower blooming from it.
I thought to myself, what a pity, what a pity, Huayang and Anyang are both gone.
Fortunately, rare and exotic animals can be seen day and night in the future.
Bai Yu collected the red flower, the peacock flew southeast, and the prince and I also went our separate ways...
