Chun Yuqing is crazy. This is the unanimous thought in everyone's mind at this moment. Even Xuan Tianming thinks that this woman must be crazy. He remembered the spy report he heard when he was still camping outside the city, saying that there were tens of thousands of women in Zong Sui Kyoto who formed a revenge team just to avenge his seventh brother. He could never empathize with the state of being affectionate to someone he had never even met. Even if Feng Yuheng happily told him about idol complex, he still couldn't understand the mentality of those women.
Looking at Chun Yuqing in front of him, Xuan Tianming understood instantly. It turned out that this queen was also an admirer of his seventh brother who he had never met? His seventh brother was really popular in Zong Sui! If Zong Sui did not fall, and this queen was allowed to develop, would she become another Yu Qianyin?
He thought and shook his head, and told Chun Yuqing in a cold voice: "He died, died under the minefield of your Tongcheng. And that mine was buried by Duanmu Anguo under the instruction of Li Jian. As for Duanmu Anguo, you should know very well how he quickly gained Li Jian's trust in Zong Sui, right?"
Xuan Tianming reminded Chun Yuqing with one sentence, why was Duanmu Anguo so trusted by Li Jian? His father Chun Yuan played an indispensable role in this! At the beginning, Chun Yuan and Duanmu Anguo joined forces to push Li Jian to the position. In order to win over Duanmu Anguo, the Chunyu family even married her sister Chun Yuling to Bu Cong who was hiding in the general's mansion, just because Bu Cong was an old acquaintance of Duanmu Anguo during the Dashun period. Now that she thought about it, the Chunyu family was inseparable from all these tragedies, and the person she cared about also indirectly died at the hands of the Chunyu family.
Chun Yuqing couldn't accept this fact, and suddenly let out a scream. When she stopped, she became confused and no longer as clear-headed as before. She even mistook her father for the old thief Duanmu Anguo, and yelled that she was going to rush over and fight him. This reminded Xuan Tianming of the farce between the eighth brother Xuan Tianmo and Concubine Yuan in the Dashun Palace. For the sake of power, in the end, killing each other, is it worth it or not?
Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer. What you think is worthless may be a treasure in the eyes of others. The throne that he doesn't care about is something that others would fight to get even if it means killing each other.
The Chunyu family ultimately did not escape death. Regardless of whether they participated in the coup or not, just one question asked to Xuan Tianming was enough to sentence them to death: "I heard that your daughter and son-in-law went to Dashun to bully my wife?" With just this one sentence, people knew that the Chunyu family would die.
A battle that lasted for more than half a year finally came to an end. After three days of fighting and killing, the people took to the streets with cleaning tools and buckets of water to clean up the bloody traces of the war.
Dashun took over the capital and renamed it Suicheng, which was a tribute to the past history. All the cities east of the capital surrendered automatically with the fall of the capital. Xuan Tianming's army did not withdraw, and he temporarily managed this land. At the same time, he sent a letter back to the capital of Dashun by flying eagles, asking the sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng to immediately look for various reliable candidates to go to the original Sui territory and take over all the cities.
The battle between Zong and Sui was won. At this time, in the capital of Dashun, a strange force was rising secretly among the people. Some people said that the Eighth Prince, who had died a long time ago, was alive again, and he gathered his troops that were scattered among the people, ready to counterattack at any time, and wanted to take back the throne that belonged to him from the Sixth Prince.
People remembered that there were rumors some time ago that the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo was not dead at all. At that time, Dashun inexplicably found a faceless man to bury him, and insisted that the Eighth Prince was dead. At that time, people did not suspect him, but later they thought more and more that something was wrong. In addition, some people claimed that their family's new grave was secretly dug up at night and the body inside was stolen, which happened to coincide with the date of the Eighth Prince's burial. This triggered a lot of speculation among people, and some people deliberately spread rumors among the people to guide the topic, so that more and more people doubted the death of the Eighth Prince, and even more people believed that the Eighth Prince was not really dead, he just ran away, and in order not to cause panic, the Dashun royal family said that the person was dead.
Of course, whether the eighth prince was dead or not, it did not have much impact on the lives of the common people except that it gave them more topics to talk about after dinner. After all, even if he was still alive, based on the many shameful things he had done, he would no longer have much to do with the throne. A prince who had nothing to do with the throne was just a leisurely prince, and the difference between him and ordinary people was just the difference between rich and poor, and he could not hinder national affairs.
But that was in the past. Now it is different. Now, the group of forces that have risen secretly among the people not only use the banner of the Eighth Prince, but also report back the situation of the Dashun Army fighting in Zongsui. They said that in the battle between Dashun and Zongsui, the Seventh Prince died, and the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming slaughtered Jiancheng in order to avenge the Seventh Prince. Then when attacking Tongcheng, he used the thunder of Princess Yu to blow up the entire Tongcheng. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the two cities. The Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming is a veritable Nine Hades. Not only does he want to kill the enemy, he also wants to kill the people. So many women, the elderly and children died in his massacre. The entire Jiancheng, more than 300,000 people, none of them could escape. They were all killed by him. It is simply inhumane and inhumane!
"Although Zong Sui is an enemy country, the Ninth Prince massacred 300,000 civilians in the city. This is too terrible. He has no love for the people. How can such a person rule the world? How can such a person be allowed to rule Dashun? If Dashun has such a person as the emperor, all the people will be worried all day long. The people who died in the construction of Zong Sui will become wronged souls and come to Dashun to seek revenge."
There were more and more rumors, making Xuan Tianming sound like an evil ghost. But some people also said, "The Sixth Prince is now the regent, and the court has never said that the Ninth Prince will succeed to the throne. Now it seems that the Sixth Prince is very likely to succeed to the throne, so no matter how terrible the Ninth Prince is, it has nothing to do with us!"
This statement was immediately opposed by someone who said, "Who says that the Sixth Prince will definitely succeed to the throne? In my opinion, the Sixth Prince is only temporarily in the position of regent, and the throne must be reserved for the Ninth Prince. If nothing else, just because of the current emperor's favor for Concubine Yun, the Ninth Prince definitely cannot be just an ordinary prince. Among these princes today, which one has made great military achievements? He is not the Ninth Prince. What has the Sixth Prince done? He has been compiling books all the time. How can he be a good emperor? But then again, can we feel at ease if a person who can massacre cities and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people becomes the emperor?"
In fact, the public's support for the Ninth Prince was quite high. Whether to massacre the city or not, it was the enemy's city that was massacred, not the city of Dashun. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, and they were very clear about this.
But people's hearts are like this, some people can stand firm and stick to their own opinions, while some people are more easily influenced by others' ideas. Now it is obvious that some people are stirring up trouble among the people and spreading incorrect opinions maliciously, but some people are incited to have a great repulsion towards Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. Even under the instigation of some people, many people rushed to Baicao Hall to cause trouble, threatening to kill Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng and pay with their lives.
The news of the civil unrest reached the ears of the princes, and they all laughed in anger. Killing someone means paying with one's life? Paying with the lives of the Sui people? When two countries are at war, the victorious side has to pay with the lives of the defeated side? This was proposed by the people of the victorious side, and it doesn't make sense no matter where you put it! Not to mention that the massacre was not what people imagined, even if it was, so what? It was a war! How could we be civilized on the battlefield? Their ninth brother was already kind enough. The disappearance of the massacre and bombing of the city had long been reported back to Dashun, and the Dashun royal family also posted notices to tell people what was going on. But some people just didn't believe what the official said and had to believe what the people said. They wanted to ask Baicaotang, can these two diseases of being soft-hearted and fence-sitting be cured?
More and more people started to stir up trouble among the people, and the noise spread from the capital to other provinces. Soon, it seemed that the whole world knew about it. They kept spreading rumors about how terrible the Ninth Prince was, how terrible Feng Yuheng was, and that the couple was carrying out a huge conspiracy. Feng Yuheng built Baicao Hall to control the people's hearts and minds and prepare for her husband's ascension to the throne in the future.
Also, the Eighth Prince was clearly not dead, but they insisted that he was dead. There was no such thing as bewitching the emperor in the first place. Those were all made up by the Ninth Prince. Because his mother had fallen out of favor and Concubine Yuan was in favor, he was afraid that the Eighth Prince would snatch his future throne, so he used all kinds of despicable means to inhumanely suppress the Eighth Prince.
Gradually, the people were divided into two groups. One group continued to support the Ninth Prince, and the other group was instigated by malicious intent and believed in the Eighth Prince. These two groups coexisted, so that people would curse and even fight when they disagreed on the street, which really gave the local government a headache. The officials sighed that the Eighth Prince was really a centipede that would not die even if it was cut into pieces.
At this time in the Dashun court, Emperor Tianwu sat on the dragon throne again, and the Sixth Prince stood beside him respectfully. The court officials below held their breath, and some of them did not even dare to raise their heads.
The old emperor had not attended court for a long time. The last time he came to court was because someone bullied the Sixth Prince and he came to support his son. This time, well-informed people knew that the old emperor was provoked by Concubine Yun in Yao Mansion and had to return to the court to rectify the government. Recently, because of the sudden appearance of the Eighth Prince in the folk, the court was also in chaos. Many people were skeptical about the death of the Eighth Prince. They analyzed the rumors from the outside world all night long. After analyzing them, they came to the conclusion that what others said made sense!
