The rebellious Fujian rebels went all the way north. In just one month, all Fujian prefectures, except Jianning Prefecture, fell into the hands of the rebels. In early October, the prince of Guilin issued a proclamation after occupying Ganzhou Prefecture. Tell the world that the old man's position as the king of Huaiyang County was unfair in the name of the old man. The old man's throne was abolished and Prince Yuzhang, the direct grandson of Sejong, was made emperor.
Huang Qiong, the nominal father-in-law, not only appointed a puppet new emperor. By the way, he also gave himself the title of Quan Zhijun State Affairs, Prime Minister, Grand Master, and Supervisor of all military affairs at home and abroad. The takeaway was returned to him, and he was promoted to one level and named King of Han. If you add nine tins, you will not pay homage to your name, go to the temple with swords and shoes, do not obey your ministers when performing affairs, do not worship when you receive an edict, and walk in and out of police. The officials who followed him in rebellion were all promoted to one level.
With the large number of official positions and titles he has been granted now, in the past dynasties, only Cao Cao, Sima Zhao of Wei, Liu Yu of Jin, and Li Yuan of Tang could compare with them. And after he appointed the new emperor, the first thing he did was to issue a so-called imperial edict in the name of the puppet emperor, and Huang Qiong, his son, and Concubine Jing were wanted nationwide. Perhaps it was to sow discord between the emperor and the disciples.
On this wanted list, among the old man's sons, only Huang Qiong and his son were named, plus Huang Qiong's mother was famous. The other princes were not included in it. However, King Yong was very excited and led his people to search the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, along the roads south of the Yangtze River, and after the apparent property. The Prince of Guilin was so angry that he also included Prince Yong on the so-called wanted list.
However, I don’t know what the original King of Guilin and the new King of Han think. On this list, Huang Qiong, who is the crown prince, is at the top of the list. Regardless of civil and military officials or ordinary people, anyone who catches Huang Qiong, the fake prince, and kidnaps him to the so-called imperial court will be made a Duke of the country and be rewarded with 200,000 guan and 10,000 pieces of silk. Horses and thousands of hectares of land. The second person on the reward list is Huang Qiong's mother.
He was granted the title of Marquis, with a reward of one hundred thousand guan, five thousand bolts of silk, and one thousand hectares of land. As the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, the old man could only be ranked third on the wanted list. Those who caught the old man and sent him to the so-called imperial court were only granted the title of earl and the reward was only 50,000 guan and 1,000 bolts of silk. It was only twenty thousand guan more money than King Yong who had been caught confiscating the prince's palace in Guilin and revealed his property in Jiangning, Suzhou and Hangzhou.
As for this old man, set the price of this reward. As an emperor, the price is not as high as that of his wife and son. It was to consciously humiliate the old man, the current emperor. I still think that the court's will to resist now lies entirely in Huang Qiong, and he values himself more as his so-called son-in-law. That's why the reward price for Huang Qiong, the prince, was set higher, which is unknown.
However, he is a businessman after all. Although the king of Guilin hated Huang Qiong for killing his son, he gritted his teeth with hatred. But he obviously knows what to do and what not to do. When Huang Qiong started to implement the idea of dividing a small family into an area, he immediately saw the huge benefits of winning the hearts and minds of ordinary people. Therefore, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan, he also accepted Huang Qiong's established national policy of working as a farmer.
After all, for his Guilin County Prince's Palace, it is now more important to win the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan. As for that small amount of money, his Guilin County Prince's Palace really didn't take it seriously. Now that he has entered all the roads in Jiangnan, he is no longer limited to the corner of Guangnan West Road, but also needs to capture the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan. For those gentry who opposed this move, he was much more ruthless than Huang Qiong and directly sent troops to exterminate them.
Because officials from all walks of life rebelled on a large scale, it was much more convenient for him to implement this policy since he had almost completely taken over the government of the occupied area. Of course, the people he killed were selective. Now he is still an official in Jingzhao or serving as an official in various ways. Not only has he not killed any people. He also constantly restrained his subordinates not to be rude to the family members of those officials who stayed in their place of origin.
Compared with the King of Guilin who was constantly promoted to himself, he should not be called the King of Han now. Of course, in Huang Qiong's case, according to law, a pseudo character must be added before the title of King of Han, and now he looks very proud. After receiving the memorial from the King of Guilin to rebel, the old man's head turned gray almost overnight, and he seemed even more silent. Huang Qiong didn't know how to persuade her.
Fortunately, my mother is quite capable. With the encouragement of his mother, the old man finally came out after experiencing depression for a period of time. The old man who came out of his depression first issued a self-indictment and admitted some of his mistakes. He also successively issued Ming Dynasty edicts and named Huang Qiong, the prince who oversees the country, as the marshal of the army and horse of the world. He was in charge of the world's military affairs and commanded the army and horse of the whole country to suppress the rebellion.
Next, the old man also issued a clear message. The king of Guilin did not want to repay the favor of the country, did not care about the court's kindness to him, and launched a rebellion regardless of the people's wishes. The title of Guilin County King was abolished and his ninth brother was instead appointed as Guilin County King. In the words of the old man in the Ming Dynasty. The Guilin County Prince's Mansion may feel sorry for the court, but the court still shows mercy to the Guilin County Prince's Mansion.
The imperial court remembered the great contributions his ancestors had made for the imperial court during the founding of the country, and could not bear to completely punish him. Although his rebellion caused chaos and turmoil in the world, the imperial court would still be lenient. He only wanted to kill the chief evildoer, but he could not bear the thought of the King of Guilin having his heir exterminated because of a bad man. Therefore, the ninth son of the former Guilin County Prince was renamed the new Guilin County Prince to preserve the incense of the Guilin County Prince's Palace.
He also offered a reward of five pieces of money and two pieces of silk to capture the king of Guilin. Such a reward amount is definitely an insult to the Guilin County Prince. An ordinary servant of the Guilin County Prince's Mansion would have two rewards per month than this. In other words, in this clear edict that was notified to everyone in the world, the King of Guilin after the Ming Dynasty abolished his title was directly treated as a slave.
As for the immediate family members of the Guilin County Prince's Palace, choosing a new Guilin County Prince is also to divide and disintegrate the Guilin County Prince's Palace. As for whether the new Guilin County Prince can truly hold real power. Huang Qiong, who planned this explicit plan, didn't care whether his brother would get rid of him. Anyway, all the men who are still alive in the direct line of the Guilin princes in the past dynasties are listed in the Ministry of Rites.
You kill one, and I will register another. Anyway, my court is still recognized by most people in the world. If you are not afraid to kill all your brothers, sons, and nephews, I can continue to canonize you. Even if you kill all the men in your direct line, I can still establish your branch. On the contrary, the more you kill, the faster you will divide and disintegrate internally, and the more chaotic you will become internally.
Of course, except for the guilty edict, all of these things were issued by Huang Qiong in the name of the old man. Now, although with the help of his mother, the old man finally came out of the shadow in his heart. But then, it was very good, and he continued to assume the role of a tablet. Huang Qiong asked him to come out and take charge of the overall situation again so that he could focus all his energy on countering the rebellion.
The old man refused without thinking. Regarding Huang Qiong's firm attitude, the old man only used two sentences to answer him. One is that he is not in his position and does not pursue political affairs. The second sentence is that his ability is far inferior to Huang Qiong and he is not qualified as an emperor or husband. Since Huang Qiong has this ability, and has been in power for such a long time, and generally does a pretty good job, then he doesn't bother the two masters.
Huang Qiong, who was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, was about to leave. But the old man said something behind his back that made him finally calm down. The rebellion of the Guilin County King was a big test of Huang Qiong's ability as king. If he does well in the exam, he will be the next emperor of Da Qi Dynasty. He can even create Daqi, a new beginning for the Eternal King.
If he does not do well in the exam, the world will change hands, and he, the prince, will naturally have nothing to inherit. And even if he escaped when the capital was destroyed, he might not be able to escape the pursuit of the new dynasty. Huang Qiong honestly admitted the old man's words. If it really comes to the point where the building collapses, I, the former prince, will indeed not even have a chance to go into exile.
According to the usual practice, the new dynasty will eradicate the royal family of the previous dynasty. It can even be said that even if he wants to keep half of the country in Jiangbei, it is unlikely. Based on his understanding of the Guilin County King, he would never give himself any chance to breathe. It is more in line with his style to kill all the losers. If you don't let go of your own relatives, how can you let go of your opponent?
Maybe he really is getting older. Today's old man no longer has the ambition to fight secretly with his grandfather. Today's old man is more like an ordinary father. Although my heart has opened up a little, I don't know if I have lost confidence in dealing with such a complicated situation, or if I have other ideas, but I am still a hands-off shopkeeper.
The old man gave up completely, but Huang Qiong was not the kind of person who was soft-hearted. After receiving Zhao Wushan's memorial, he immediately dispatched troops to inspect the Guilin Junwang Villa. After the prince was not found in the other courtyard, he simply dug three feet into the ground. Capture the prince who is about to escape from the tunnel and the people who come to rescue him. Regardless of the objections of the officials, he was publicly executed outside the main gate of Li.
When the prince was killed, the opposition from the ministers was extremely fierce. In the opinion of many ministers, keeping this prince in their hands can be used as a hostage if necessary to force the king of Guilin to surrender. Even if it cannot be allowed to surrender, it can at least leave a way for the court to retreat. If this killing happened, I am afraid that the Guilin County Prince would have no scruples, which would mean that all avenues of retreat for the imperial court would be cut off.
It can even be said that except for Fu Yuanshan, Lu Mengzheng, Yu Mingyuan and a few others, almost no one in the court agreed with Huang Qiong to kill the prince of Guilin County. Huang Qiong couldn't help but sneer at the notion that those civil servants and military generals had cut off the court's retreat. Are you kidding me? That guy has openly rebelled and installed a new puppet. Is there any way out for the imperial court?
Besides, in order to show his attitude of completely breaking with him, what else would he do if he didn't kill him? The so-called escape route is probably more left to themselves rather than to the court. If we don't kill this person, how can we show the court's firm attitude to the world? Let some people who are on both ends of the spectrum and don't want to take sides now know what to do and what not to do.
Besides, as far as I know, the Prince of Guilin has more than ten apparent sons. The so-called prince whom he left in the capital and attracted the attention of the world may not really be the real prince in his heart. Maybe it's even possible to stabilize the court's chess piece. This so-called crown prince is almost a stranger to the three women from the Guilin County Prince's Palace in the palace.
Situ Huanshuang was still forced to meet the so-called prince for the first time after returning to Guilin County Prince's Mansion. As the real princess of Guilin County, Liu Min was completely unfamiliar with this prince. This was the first time that the three women knew each other's true identities, but neither of them had much impression of the prince. Only Liu Min, my aunt, was barely familiar with this guy.
