"What? The supporter behind the Wenxiang Sect is probably King Lu? This... Your Majesty, I am really amazed, please continue!"
"Today, I am given this Scorpio agate gold ring..."
"Ah... there are five thousand sets of armor hidden in the cellars of Jining City? This... Your Majesty, I am frightened, please continue!"
"I guess that the eight major locust merchants and the King of Jin and the King of Lu..."
After Chongzhen finished talking about the collusion between King Jin and King Lu, he glared at King Fu and instantly stared back at what King Fu was about to say.
What's more, King Fu is just like a cross talker. When he says a paragraph, he will exclaim.
Prince Fu smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please continue, I promise not to interrupt again!"
"I found out what happened in Prince Lu's Mansion, but I didn't take action. Instead, I arranged for spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to keep an eye on it to see if there was someone behind the scenes.
I never thought that he had committed suicide before I interrogated him!
Their family was reunited, leaving me with a big mess! "
hiss……
King Fu took a breath of cold air, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and there was a huge wave in his heart.
This story is really too appalling.
The King of Jin maintained a private army, all of which were elite. The King of Lu was the man behind the Wenxiang Sect and could summon tens of thousands of people in a short period of time.
The two are still connected, one inside and one outside.
What the two of them did was in contrast to what their... son did. His son was just a child playing house.
Although he was unwilling to let his father pass the throne to his brother, he was not crazy enough to raise private soldiers.
At most, he would allow his son to come into contact with people in the world, in order to stand up when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, raise his arms, go to Beijing to serve the king, and then do something.
When the emperor first came to the throne, five thousand armored men were so powerful that they could influence the direction of a local war.
"Uncle Wang, how should we handle this matter with King Lu?"
Listening to the emperor asking himself, Prince Fu pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, King Lu's family is dead. This matter cannot be hidden from the people, nor from the clan and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
If it is not handled well, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.
I think that there is no need to hide this matter. I will handle it for the clan. I will summon all the kings and tell the whole story.
Not only does it explain clearly, it avoids the worries of the kings, but it also shocks the kings;
In addition, the imperial court conveyed to the officials and the people that King Lu's family had been killed by the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect.
The reason is that King Lu had a deal with Wenxiang Sect. Now that Wenxiang Sect has been arrested, the followers think that King Lu leaked the news and assassinated him to vent their anger.
In this way, it can not only cover up the scandal of King Lu's intention to rebel, but also frighten Wenxiang's followers.
As for King Lu's body, just transport it back to Jining and bury it in King Lu's Cemetery! "
"The clan has troubled Uncle Wang!"
Chongzhen only thought for a moment and agreed to King Fu's suggestion.
People in the clan colluded with foreign enemies to plot rebellion. If word spread about this, the clan would be humiliated. This is the most appropriate way to deal with it!
"Uncle Wang, I went to a banquet outside the city to entertain the generals of the Northern Army, so I will leave this place to you!"
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
Prince Fu bowed slightly and slowly straightened up after watching the emperor leave Prince Lu's Mansion.
Looking at the people lying on the floor in the hall, King Fu sighed and said to himself: "If His Majesty hadn't ascended the throne and showed superhuman means, maybe you would have succeeded.
It's just a pity... but different paths lead to the same goal.
Now that the Ming Dynasty’s external enemies are gone and internal clarification has been made, the Ming Dynasty is about to usher in a prosperous age that will last for at least a hundred years. You can’t see this! "
After sighing, Fu Dynasty waved to the imperial guards at the scene: "Prepare a few thin coffins to collect King Lu's family, and then travel day and night to Jining.
Find a place in the southeast corner of King Lu's Mausoleum to bury several people together, and then set up a tombstone! "
"I will finally understand!"
After King Fu made arrangements, he stared at King Lu for a few breaths, then shook his head, got on the sedan with his hands behind his back, and left King Lu's mansion.
To collect the body of King Lu in a thin coffin and bury the whole family together was the greatest honor he could do.
The emperor didn't order the execution of King Lu's lineage, which would be considered merciful, but he still wanted to give him a generous burial?
He did not doubt the story told by the emperor. Based on his understanding of the emperor and his current great achievements, he would not bother to do such a dirty thing.
It's not necessary. Even if it is necessary, there is no need to choose it at this juncture.
On the other side, Chongzhen didn't bother to go back to change clothes and went directly to the Deshengmen gate tower.
Seeing that the emperor had come early, Sun Chengzong, who was coordinating all parties, was very surprised and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why did you come early? I just asked you, it will take half an hour!"
"It's okay, I'll sit down for a while while you do your work!"
Chongzhen waved his hand and motioned Sun Chengzong to get busy.
Regarding the affairs of Prince Lu's Mansion, he was not prepared to talk about it now, so as not to affect the mood of the ministers.
This matter is nothing to him, and it would be better if he died, so as not to have any worries when he does it himself.
Chongzhen, who had nothing to do, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stood at the crenel, staring with interest at the busy cooks at the celebration banquet venue.
At this moment, rows of tables and benches were neatly placed on the venue, and bowls and chopsticks were also placed one by one.
Jars of various fine wines were also piled up, and there were some sergeants beside them. They opened the mud seals on the jars and poured them into large wooden barrels. The aroma of various wines overflowed;
There are low-priced liquors such as Huishan Bai, Qiulu Bai, and Hualu Bai.
There are more expensive rice wines such as bean wine;
There is a capital city that produces it, which is as clear as water and has an extremely strong flavor.
They are divided into yellow rice wine from Jingshi, Lajiu from Jizhou, Sangluo wine from Yongping, Yijiu from Yizhou, Cangjiu from Cangzhou...
Large pots were set up, and basins of chopped chicken, duck, and fish were also placed, ready to go.
Light the fire, pour the oil, and the dense air rises;
Tsk...la...
Bang...dang...
The sounds of vegetables being poured into hot oil and the sound of spatulas colliding with pots were heard constantly at the scene.
The green smoke accompanied by the flash of firelight, the large spatula was turning, bringing out a little bit of oil and soup, and the aroma of vegetables and meat began to fill the air.
Half an hour passed quickly, and many sergeants had already arrived outside the venue. They immediately became excited when they smelled the aroma of the vegetables, and they twitched their noses vigorously.
"I smelled the smell of the nine-turn large intestine, which was not washed too well. It was mixed with ginger and green onion. It was refreshing and refreshing. I haven't had it in several years!"
"Why do I smell roasted whole lamb?"
"Damn roasted whole lamb. Didn't you eat enough on the way to Beibei this time? I'm going to vomit when I smell the roasted meat!"
"Stewed goose, this is the main dish of our Hejian Mansion, why can I smell it here? I must be too greedy!"
"This is the smell of burning knives. It's strong enough. I like the feeling of the wine burning through the throat. This is men's favorite. Rice wine is what women drink!"
"You don't know what the goods are. There is a saying in the market: If you buy yellow rice wine at a high price, it will rise, and if you buy white wine at a low price, you will fight!"
"Get out of here, you can't buy it for money!"
"Brothers, come on, eat and drink enough!"
…
The sergeant rushed to the venue of the celebration banquet, but was stunned as soon as he entered.
They swore they saw something they had never seen in their lives and would never forget.
