Chapter 771: The dust settles and the countdown ends
However, at this time, the people of Lingyan Pavilion became their own obstacles. They guarded the gate of the bedroom and prevented Queen Zhang and others from seeing the emperor. Queen Zhang couldn't help but be anxious at this time and stepped forward and slapped the leader of Lingyan Pavilion Xin Lie twice in the face. Because the other party was still the nominal queen, Xin Lie did not dare to fight back, but just looked at the other party coldly.
At this time, Empress Zhang said angrily: "Bold slave, I am the current queen. If you want to see the emperor, you dare to stop him. Could it be that you are tired of living?"
If Xin Lie is really brave, he is neither humble nor arrogant when facing Empress Zhang: "The Empress forgives the crime. Now there is a change in the capital. We are ordered to protect the safety of the emperor. Now no one is allowed to enter and leave the bedroom. This is also for the safety of the emperor. I hope the queen will forgive me."
Queen Zhang hit a soft nail and became even more angry: "It's against you, you all have reversed, Xin Lie, I'll ask you last, are you going to give it or not??"
Xin Lie bowed and replied: "Where is the responsibility, there is no retreat."
When Queen Zhang heard this, she was furious and waved her hand to the left and right: "Come here, Xin Lie and others hold the emperor hostage, and have made ill-intentioned plans, and take them all for me!"
When the people around Empress Zhang heard this, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to arrest the people of Lingyan Pavilion. As a result, Xin Lie pulled out the sword directly. He was the direct descendant of the Southern Sect of Huitian Sword Sect. He had extraordinary martial arts skills and chopped over the two of them in a blink of an eye. Then he pointed the sword at Empress Zhang and others: "Lingyan Pavilion was created by the son today, and he was only loyal to the emperor. Whoever dared to approach the bedroom tonight would kill him without any hesitation!"
At that time, Empress Zhang and his party were shocked when they saw this. They knew that the Lingyan Pavilion and the people were cruel and ruthless, and they were ready to die. It was difficult for them to fight to fight, so no one dared to step forward for a moment. Empress Zhang was very anxious when she saw this, and snatched the sword from a soldier beside her and rushed to Xin Lie.
"Tonight, I must see the emperor. Xin Lie, if you have the courage, you will kill me!" Queen Zhang said and rushed towards the gate of the bedroom.
Seeing this, Xin Lie immediately stepped forward to block the door: "Please retreat, otherwise you will be rude to humble position!"
"You dare!" Empress Zhang held her own identity and felt that Xin Lie did not dare to hurt herself. She raised her sword and slashed Xin Lie. She naturally couldn't hurt Xin Lie. Empress Zhang originally wanted to let her enter the bedroom as soon as she wanted her to enter the bedroom. Unexpectedly, Xin Lie blocked Queen Zhang's attack with one sword, and then kicked Queen Zhang out. Because of the other party's identity, Xin Lie finally showed mercy. Even so, Queen Zhang couldn't stand it and fell to the ground for a long time. When the accomplices saw it, some people continued to attack the bedroom, and some people carried Queen Zhang away for treatment. Although Queen Zhang was not in danger of life, she was temporarily unable to move.
The son, King Zhao and King Lu, were young, were at a loss in the face of this situation, and the opportunity was delayed. In the end, the prince's men arrived. Not only did they not conquer the bedroom, they were caught in one go. After that, Xin Lie left some people to continue to guard the bedroom, and he followed the prince's men to suppress the rebellion remnants. This was the case afterwards. Luo Tianbao was originally ordered to lead people to capture the key parts of the Secretariat and other ministers. Because it was early in the morning, most ministers had not yet arrived, and only a few middle and lower-level officials were on duty. Therefore, Luo Tianbao's progress was extremely smooth. After finishing, he returned to the palace to meet with the prince and others.
After experiencing this storm, everyone couldn't help feeling a little after the disaster. When most people in the capital woke up the next day, the coup had actually been basically over. After arresting the backbone of the party, the prince led Huo Daoliang, Luo Tianbao and others to apologize to the emperor. In fact, the emperor's recent situation was really bad. He didn't even notice the things that happened before. He didn't know what happened today. He was a little more awake. After listening to the report of the prince and others, the emperor sighed slightly and said in a weak tone: "Everything is destiny. I'm afraid I won't have much time. Since this is the case, I will leave the future to the emperor and my dear ministers to deal with it. I just hope that you will do your loyalty... Cough, treat the people well."
When the prince heard this, he immediately cried and kowtowed the head to take the order. He didn't know whether the tears were real or the show. In short, the emperor issued an order that he was seriously ill and difficult to manage the affairs, so he would be supervised by the prince. In fact, if it weren't for Gu Nian and there was a Supreme Emperor, the emperor would have planned to give way directly.
In this way, the crown prince formally grasped the power of the court. Because he was the official crown prince of the country, it was justified that this coup did not cause much trouble in the end. After stabilizing the situation, he naturally had to be rewarded and punished. Zhang Zhao, Zhang Jiao, and Jie Cao all asked about the death penalty. They were more troublesome to deal with Empress Zhang and her two sons. It is said that there is no legal problem in punishing their crimes for their crimes, but
After all, Empress Zhang was nominally the stepmother of the crown prince. The two kings of Zhao and Lu were even half-brothers of the crown prince. Some things could not be done too well. In the end, after discussion, the court demoted Empress Zhang to a commoner and imprisoned him in the cold palace. He was never allowed to meet outsiders. The two kings of Zhao and Lu also deposed the commoner and imposed a ban on southern Xinjiang, and were not allowed to return to the inland for life. In fact, the punishment was not bad, but the power struggle has always been like this. It is already a blessing that the mother and son could save their lives.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the court also dealt with Ning Sixiao and others. The Ning family, except for Ning Sishun's family, who surrendered, was executed. This was cruel, but it was the inevitable result of the success and defeat of the enemy. I don't know what Ning Zeen would think of knowing him in the spring. In addition to the Dayou Party, Lin Yunfei and others were also dealt with. Because Luo Tianbao had already suppressed rebellions three times this time and had made too great contributions, the court finally gave mercy to Lin Yunfei's master and apprentice. The three of them were all removed from their official titles and were deposed as commoners and sent to southern Xinjiang together with the two kings of Zhao and Lu. Although this punishment was not light, it was the best result for the crimes of Lin Yunfei and others.
As for Jie Sect and the Demon Sect, with the mediation of Luo Tianbao and others, the court also opened up the issue of the Demon Sect. The demerits of the Demon Sect were against each other. The matter of assisting Da You before was no longer investigated. Yu Daojing's sisters were finally free. In the case of Jie Sect, Kira, Daisy and others were released. However, the court warned them and the countries in the Western Regions that they would not be enemies of the court again in the future, otherwise they would not be spared. Yuwen Changfeng had already taken back to Western Yan from his sister Yuwen Jialuo. After hard work, he persuaded Western Yan not to oppose the court anymore. Because the rebels were destroyed, the inland situation was stabilized. The countries in the Western Regions knew that there was no gap to take advantage of, so they had to stop. The world finally ushered in temporary peace.
The prince was originally very respectful to Luo Tianbao and was ready to fully fulfill the official title that Empress Zhang promised. However, after so many things, Luo Tianbao was really not interested in being an official, so he proposed to accompany his father and his family to move to southern Xinjiang. The prince and others repeatedly tried to keep it. However, Luo Tianbao was determined this time, and the prince had no choice but to agree in the end, but he still retained the title of Duke Shen of Luo Tianbao and the third rank of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, who was nominally responsible for monitoring the two kings of Lu, Zhao and Lin Yunfei's master and apprentice, and told Luo Tianbao that if he wanted to be an official in the future, Luo Tianbao and others would naturally be grateful.
