Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2041

Xiao Zhi was deserted by his friends and family. What comforted him was that Tang was still alive.

He also suddenly understood that it was because Tang was still alive that when he proposed to his father to join the game, lead the four great families to rebel, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the northern wing, his father was still willing to believe him and give him a chance to reform.

Otherwise, he will be blamed for his death.

Even if Tang died, even if Xiao Yunde became decadent, Shi Anxia would not let him go.

Because during the chess game, he had already seen the overwhelming murderous intent in Shi Anxia's eyes.

Dreams are indeed the opposite. The gentle and peaceful eyes in the dream are murderous in reality.

Xiao Zhi didn't want to indulge in dreams anymore, but sometimes he was too fragile and couldn't help himself, unable to see the distance between dreams and reality.

He was willing to go to his fiefdom and stay away from Shi Anxia.

Perhaps time can dilute everything, including desires and stupidity.

Before leaving Beijing, Xiao Zhi attended the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

Strange things happen every year, and this year there are especially many in the north wing. The two previous emperors watched the new emperor ascend the throne at the same time, which became a legend among the nations.

The Northern Wing royal family is well-known for its friendship, humility, and unity, and is widely praised.

All the states came to congratulate, except Liang, because the situation in Liang was said to be tense and it had no time to care about other things.

The new emperor of Beiyi ascended the throne and named the reign title Jingxuan, calling himself Emperor Wenxuan. At the same time, a new empress was enthroned.

The speed of the abdication set three unprecedented records: the fastest throne handover ceremony in history, the shortest enthronement ceremony for the new monarch, and the most efficient ceremony for enthroning the queen in history.

This series of changes not only caught the Ministry of Rites and civil and military officials off guard, but also confused the common people.

"What? A new emperor?"

"Who? Prince Li? The Ninth Prince? Isn't that still a child?"

"Hee, he's not even a child compared to his queen! His queen is a child!"

"Don't be afraid, the court is backed by the Emperor, it's stable!"

The prestige of Emperor Shengde is still as high as ever.

The first imperial decree issued by Emperor Wenxuan after he came to power was to deal with the four great families.

The four surnames of Gui, Qin, Lin, and Guo have received the grace of the country for generations, but they have harbored evil intentions. Now, according to the "Northern Wing Criminal Code", the main offender will be sentenced to death by slicing, the three clans will be executed in the market, and the rest of the clans will be exiled to Mozhou.

All the tombstones of the four surnames were removed and dug up, and the tablets in the ancestral halls were thrown into the manure pit. All the genealogical records of the four surnames were deleted, and their descendants were forever forbidden to participate in the imperial examinations.

All the land, shops and banks of the four families were confiscated and used as military settlements on the border. Their residences were demolished and rebuilt into a shrine to martyrs.

Half of the gold and silver was used to reward the border troops, and the other half was used to enrich the national treasury.

His family academy was converted into a charity school to enroll children from poor families.

......

When this decree was issued, the government and the people were shocked and excited. It was really because the four great families had been dominating and abusing their power for too long.

Although the new emperor's methods were cruel, they did serve as a warning to the rest.

A gossiper wrote a poem: There are few carriages and horses in front of Lin Guo's gate, and the swallows fly away from Gui Qin's house. A three-foot-long icy silk screen hangs on the beam, and the moon shines on the blood of the nine clans, turning it into mud.

The four great families thus perished, and no one in the Northern Wing would dare to rebel for at least a hundred years.

There is a lot of discussion and different opinions among the people.

But the people were more interested in the Queen of Beiyi who had not yet reached the age of marriage.
