Chapter 329: Smart
Of course, this is just a thought. She is only grateful for Jing Zhaoyi's care. Didn't you see that Shen Baolin couldn't get Jing Zhaoyi's care? In this palace, whether it was Rong Jieyu who was close to Jing Zhaoyi or Su Meiren, they were all inferior. Only she was taken care of.
Even though we live together, I still have to be grateful.
However, this incident really made everyone in the harem silent and frightened.
But right now, the key is to sort out the things that everyone sent to the Qunfang Palace first. The Queen has also sent five carts, so naturally she has more things.
Then the news was released, and within half a day, a lady of noble birth handed in a sign asking to enter the palace.
Everyone had the same idea. The queens were of noble status, so their things naturally could not be circulated among the people. It would be better to ask everyone to collect the queens' things, and then everyone would pay silver to exchange them for rice. When the time came, they would collect the money, write a booklet, and actually deliver the things to the people.
The Queen naturally agreed and immediately chose Lord Sun's family to do this.
As for clothes, they can be altered and sold in clothing stores, so there is no need to worry. But other things are mostly kept by others.
In just ten days, he earned more than 210,000 silver coins.
The queen simply ordered people to buy all the rice and use it to support the refugees.
For a while, everyone just said good things about the emperor, the empress, and all the ladies in the harem.
The rumors from the past were washed away. As long as the people live well, it doesn't matter whether the emperor is a human or a toad.
In Lujun City, the imperial army had already arrived.
The Deer King was forced into doing something he was not qualified to do. He didn't even have the courage, so there was no way he could succeed.
There isn't even a decent manifesto...
Shen Zhong and other generals rushed to the city and it didn't take long for them to break open the city gate. Not to mention others, even the people in the city did not approve of this unprovoked war.
Princess Deer committed suicide when the imperial army broke into the city.
Only a pair of legitimate children were left. The Deer King had not many concubines, about ten, and they also had about ten children.
I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do.
He did not dare to commit suicide. After everyone around him surrendered, he was finally tied up in the Deer King's Mansion.
The rebellion was successfully resolved in just half a month, including the march.
The Deer King started the rebellion in a hurry and was completely vulnerable. Those staff members who instigated him wanted to escape in a panic, but unfortunately Shen Zhong and his army blocked all the exits from the city.
It can be said that the Deer King had failed before he even fought his way out.
It was early April when the army returned to the imperial city.
The Deer King was taken to the Ministry of Justice prison, and his eleven children were imprisoned in the Deer King's Palace, which was originally in the imperial city.
Qi Yixiu immediately issued an order to bury Princess Lu Xu according to the etiquette for a princess.
Perhaps her two children were sent off in mourning. The Xu family had done nothing wrong and they had no close relatives, so they were not guilty.
The concubines of King Deer found out that no one from her natal family had done anything wrong, so they did not charge them with any crime.
For a while, everyone just said that the emperor was kind and benevolent.
However, General Wu, who was stationed in Lujun City, was beheaded and his entire clan was exiled. All of his ten or so lieutenants were sentenced to immediate execution and their entire clans were exiled.
All officials, big and small, in Lujun City who participated in this ridiculous rebellion were beheaded. In serious cases, nine generations of the clan were exterminated, while in minor cases, the entire family was exiled.
However, among this group of people, some cannot die for the time being, as the emperor has not yet found out what he wants to investigate.
For a time, many people regretted not falling, but it was too late.
It wasn't just Lujun City that was implicated, many people in the Imperial City were also imprisoned.
Even the Feng family was involved.
The Feng family has always had dealings with the Deer King, so they did not directly participate in this rebellion, but after all, they are inseparable from previous events.
Including giving gifts to the women in the harem, all were the Feng family's ideas.
The Feng family was panicked for a moment. Although this matter was not serious, the emperor was not very satisfied with the Feng family in recent years.
For example, when the cabinet was reorganized, the Feng family was not able to enter. They have lost the initiative in the past few years and are at a disadvantage. Now they are involved in this conspiracy. What good is there? Since the family members went to the palace to talk to Empress Dowager Feng, Empress Dowager Feng could only frown. She didn't know many things.
The collusion between Concubine Yang and the Deer King was even more ridiculous. In fact, it was only Concubine Yang who spread the rumor. She even knew that the Deer King would definitely fail.
She was just following the previous emperor's order, and just wanted the Deer King to cause trouble for Qi Yixiu. To put it bluntly, she hated Qi Yixiu, and she still didn't like the Deer King.
She hated every child the late emperor had with other people.
Empress Dowager Feng really didn't know how much involvement the Feng family had in this incident.
The current head of the Feng family is Feng Rongxing, the brother of Empress Dowager Feng. He also works in the Ministry of Personnel and has the title of Taifu.
Feng Rongxing had three sons, all of whom served in the court, and the lowest-ranking one was a fourth-rank official.
There are more than a dozen branches of the Feng family, both in the imperial city and in other places.
When this incident happened, Duke Feng immediately arrested the two people from the side branch and sent them to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Although they were only giving advice to the Deer King, who asked the Deer King to rebel?
What's more, even if these two people didn't come up with the idea, the people from the direct branch wouldn't take the blame, and people from the side branches would eventually have to take over the mess.
However, this was not the result Qi Yixiu wanted.
The previous assassination incident should finally have a result.
The Ministry of Justice's prison has become bustling ever since the Deer King and a group of other prisoners were sent in.
Many prisoners even had their entire families beheaded, but they were kept in secret. They were also interrogated day and night.
It's too easy to judge.
The Deer King's staff were spineless bastards. After being tortured several times, they were so scared that they wished they could confess that they wet the bed when they were three years old.
It was indeed the Deer King who assassinated the emperor, but it didn't seem like he had planned it for a long time.
So Qi Yixiu didn't believe it and interrogated it again and again.
As a prince, the Deer King was not tortured, but he was also not interrogated day and night. He still couldn't bear it. He couldn't eat well or sleep. He just felt uncomfortable.
The Deer King is indeed not a stunning talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is mediocre.
Finally, in May, he confessed that he was the new emperor of Chao State.
It turned out that they were secretly colluding with each other. No wonder the emperor was assassinated during his northern tour.
The reason why the Deer King was holding on was because he was afraid that the charges would be even more serious. It was already treason, and adding collusion with foreign enemies, it was simply a crime that could not be buried in the ancestral tomb. Unfortunately, he could not bear such torture and finally told the truth.
But the Chao people were smart and didn't leave any evidence at all, so it was useless for the Deer King to say anything.
The people of Chao and Dayi naturally look similar, so apart from those who ran away, there is no clue about those who died.
However, this kind of interrogation was not without unexpected gains. For example, the two people from the Feng family accidentally revealed what happened to the Su family in the past.
