Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

The commotion in the palace alarmed many people.

Prince Anping naturally did not want to give up resistance, but Prince Cheng whispered in his ear: "Do you think the people in the camp outside the capital will abandon the dark and join the light when they encounter explosives?"

"I do not accept this." Prince Anping angrily rebuked: "How can a woman like Su Rutang control the government?"

Su Rutang smiled:

"The emperor will be back in the capital soon, and I am only here to handle state affairs on his behalf. Even if the emperor doesn't come back, once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has dealt with the rebels outside the city, he will naturally be able to supervise the country."

"Does Your Majesty think that the Crown Prince will not return to the palace?"

Prince Anping was stunned in astonishment.

"You...you have been deliberately confusing me. You made me think that the Crown Prince was really missing."

"Hahaha...Hasn't the prince been deceiving me all along? He promised a month's period, but he kept sending assassins to the city.

Even the residences of some ministers were secretly monitored by your people.

You don't believe me, so I naturally don't believe you. It just so happens that all the people that you thought were left behind by Master Yun have appeared. But in fact... they haven't. "

Su Rutang threw away his wide robe.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a murderous look.

"Those people you used to monitor the officials have gone to hell to wait for you. I have always been soft-hearted, so why not go down and accompany them, Your Majesty?"

Su Rutang hadn't finished speaking.

Prince Anping had already called his trusted men to surround him.

"Su Rutang. This king will not admit defeat."

"Whether you admit defeat or not doesn't matter because you've already lost." Su Rutang said with a cold look on his face as he made a gesture.

Huo Mi and others surrounded Prince Anping.

King Cheng's sword was always against King Anping's neck. "King Anping, do you think I dare not kill you?"

"You dare not. My people have already surrounded Prince Cheng's mansion. I have spies planted in Prince Cheng's mansion. If you dare to attack me, those spies will kill Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng."

King Anping was certain that King Cheng would not dare to do so.

Others had concubines and children in abundance, but King Cheng alone had only one queen and a mentally retarded son.

King Cheng thrust the sword in his hand hard.

Before Prince Anping's confidant could react, they saw Prince Anping covering his neck with his hands.

His mouth opened.

Staring at King Cheng in despair, he still didn't believe that King Cheng could do it?

"Um...you...you..."

Prince Cheng punctured Prince Anping's aorta, and blood spurted out, splashing all over Prince Cheng's head and face, and even the wide royal robes were covered with blood.

King Cheng reached out and wiped his face.

"Prince Anping, you and I are brothers. Yet, we have ended up in an opposition situation."

Prince Anping fell to the ground.

His mouth opened and closed, but he could not utter a word. His eyes were fixed on the dragon throne, the seat he had dreamed of sitting on since he was a child.

Prince Anping died unwillingly in the Golden Palace.

Shen Zhongshu collapsed to the ground.

He knew that the Shen family had been defeated.

When the original supporters of Prince Anping saw that all their supporters were dead, they naturally did not dare to confront Su Rutang anymore.

A bunch of people were panicking.

Everyone knelt on the ground.

Marquis Jing'an felt as if the sky was falling.

"Empress, I am blind and ignorant. I was forced by Prince Anping. He threatened me with the lives of the entire Jing'an Marquis's family."

Marquis Jing'an fell to his knees.

Shen Zhongshu said nothing.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, trembling slightly. He knew that Su Rutang was scheming and would not let them go.

Su Rutang hated Earl Jing'an to death.

If it weren't for Xie Zheng from Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, Mobei wouldn't have been torn apart by Xiliang. And there wouldn't have been Su Zhixun who shot Lan Xuanji to death and then died in the snow in Mobei.

"Lord Jing'an. Were you coerced?"

"Your Majesty, I have my own reasons." Jing'an Earl turned his eyes and looked at the hem of Su Rutang's robe. "I am afraid that my family will be exterminated..."

"Then aren't you afraid of being executed along with your entire clan if you join the Anping prince in rebellion?" Su Rutang's voice was as clear as jade, and his sharp eyes were tinged with rage. "Come here. Arrest everyone in the Anping prince's mansion."

"And there is the Huai Palace."

Prince Huai's knees softened and he knelt on the ground, taking a few steps on his knees. He kept kowtowing, "Empress, I am not with Prince Anping..."

"Prince Huai, just because we didn't impeach you today doesn't mean there is no evidence." Su Rutang turned around and sat on the chair next to the dragon throne, half of his body leaning to the side.

The aura of looking down on the world is fully open.

"Arrest them all at the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion."

"The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, the Censorate, and the Imperial Guards must all find evidence of their crimes.

The key point is that the evidence of treason and their accomplices must be revealed.

If they are the first to confess, their families can be dealt with at their discretion.”

Su Rutang said a few words.

Everyone in the Golden Palace was concentrating and holding their breath, not daring to say a single word.

"Yes."

Commander Yao went out to arrest people, and the Minister of Dali Temple also left with the Shaoqing.

Su Rutang's eyes fell on Shen Zhongshu.

"Mr. Shen."

"The old minister is here."

Shen Zhongshu's forehead was pressed against the ground, and his usually straight back was trembling slightly. His sons knelt on the ground together.

"I am very disappointed with Secretary Shen. Secretary Shen and my grandfather Duke Su entered the palace at about the same time. Although they had different political views, they were also close friends.

Even my grandfather didn't know when Shen Zhongshu started to put on a mask to interact with him. Or maybe Shen Zhongshu had been treating my grandfather as a pawn from the beginning.

So many things happened in the Su family. I can’t say that they were all caused by Shen Zhongshu, but Shen Zhongshu’s promotion was indispensable.”

Su Rutang reached out and pressed his brow.

There was a pause.

"Even this palace and Shen Yunying have drifted further and further apart because of Shen Zhongshu's manipulation."

The Shen Jie brothers knelt on the ground.

I knew in my heart that the Shen family was finished.

Shen Zhongshu has been working hard all his life just to keep the Shen family prosperous and wealthy. He wants the Shen family to become a famous family like the Cui family and the Wang family, so that even the change of dynasties will not affect their status at all.

"Come here. Invite Secretary Shen and the others to the Imperial Prison for tea."

Shen Zhongshu was lying on the ground.

He closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Queen."

Bo Luohui was surprised to find that Su Rutang was almost ruthless. If Shang Yan had not moved any of his troops before the emperor led the army in person, he would have given them a chance to surrender.

It is also for the stability of the government.

This time, Su Rutang is going to cause a big earthquake.

in the hall.

More than a dozen officials were taken away.

The gates of the capital were also closed.

The Five Cities Military Department, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple worked together to arrest people.

Everyone is at risk.

Manager Yun led his men outside and fought with the subordinates led by the son of King Anping. He used explosives and killed many of the other side.

Manager Yun was riding on a horse.

Looking at the broken limbs, he realized that explosives might allow Da Zhou to become the absolute overlord in the future.

Two days in a row.

Su Rutang could only close her eyes for an hour every night, so she sent someone to force-feed Empress Dowager Dou a bowl of medicine. That night, Empress Dowager Dou died in her sleep.

The body was put into a coffin and placed together with the coffin of the previous emperor.

The Prince of Anping and several of his adult children were beheaded, and the others were demoted to commoners and exiled to Lingnan.

The Jing'an Marquis's family was exterminated.

Shen Zhongshu, his eldest son and his eldest grandson were killed, and the others were exiled to Youzhou, near Chazhou, as military households. In the Zhou Dynasty, military households were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

The main culprits among the other officials were basically killed.

Everyone else was exiled.

After processing.

Someone immediately escorted the exiles away.

Princess Anping and her family also embarked on the journey of exile. After they left the capital, no relatives or friends came to see them off. Those who were close to them were basically implicated.

No one gave them money, so their chances of reaching Lingnan safely were slim.

Long Yu has already been ordained.

A nun in a grey cassock stood by the road and stopped the official on his way. "Amitabha. Benefactor, can I have a word with Princess Anping?"

The officer was about to sneer.

He was stopped by someone nearby, who whispered, "This is Princess Longyu."

Everyone knows that the Queen and Princess Longyu have a very good relationship.

The officer suppressed his doubts and gestured for invitation.

"Master, please."

Princess Anping saw the newly burned scars on Long Yu's head and couldn't stop crying. "Yu'er, why are you doing this?"

"Amitabha, I am not some jade girl."

She handed the bag to Princess Anping, "There are some daily pills, some dry food and some small change in it. I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future."

Princess Anping hugged the Dragon King and cried uncontrollably.

Even the other people in the palace were crying quietly.

Long Yu said a few more words.

He came to the leading official and said, "The Queen did not sentence the entire Anping Princess family to death, hoping that there would be a bloodline left in the palace. Please take good care of us along the way, sir."

Long Yu gave one of her jade hairpins to the policeman.

As soon as the officer saw it, he knew that this jade hairpin would cost more than one thousand taels of silver.

He accepted it with a smile on his face, "Please rest assured, Master. We will definitely escort them to Lingnan safely."
