Chapter 263: What a pity for Cheng Jijiu's great knowledge

When he heard that someone was reporting him in the hall, Duke Dingguo was not surprised at all. He just thought it was a counterattack by the Left Prime Minister's lineage.

When attacking the Left Prime Minister, Duke Dingguo was already prepared for a counterattack.

So when Emperor Yong'an's eyes fell on Duke Dingguo, Duke Dingguo walked out of his seat calmly and defended himself leisurely.

He thought he could get away with it after making an excuse, but he didn't expect his opponent to produce hard evidence, which made Duke Dingguo feel uneasy.

At this point, Duke Dingguo could only bet that Emperor Yong'an had feelings for him and was unwilling to abandon such a useful subordinate.

It’s a pity that Duke Dingguo forgot that the imperial family is the most ruthless.

When Yunmeng woke up after a good sleep, Chunzhi brought news from Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"Princess, you have no idea how miserable the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is." Chunzhi clicked her tongue and shook her head. It was miserable, too miserable.

"Duke Dingguo's daughter-in-law was only three months pregnant, and she was so frightened that she miscarried on the spot.

The person in charge of the confiscation of the property was a disciple of the Left Prime Minister, and the emperor's confidant supervised the entire process. After the young lady had a miscarriage, they didn't even hire a doctor.

I'm afraid so." Chunzhi shook her head, feeling very sympathetic towards the young lady, but also quite dissatisfied with the people who confiscated her property.

Yunmeng yawned, stretched his body, and then said:

"Duke Dingguo should have anticipated the counterattack of the Left Prime Minister, so why was he still captured?"

"I heard that the emperor's private treasury was lost. Duke Dingguo might have walked into trouble." An Shisan added leisurely from the side.

If I had sensed correctly last night, the princess had been out all night and would not be back until almost dawn.

For some reason, An Shisan felt that the loss of the emperor's private treasury might be related to the princess.

But An Shisan had no evidence, so she wouldn't speak it out openly.

"Oh." Yun Meng took the cup and rinsed her mouth. She was not surprised at the bad luck of Duke Dingguo. Duke Dingguo danced so happily, so the bad luck was only a matter of time.

"Princess, my wife sent me a message, hoping that you will not go out these few days. It is best to close the door and stay out of the limelight for a while."

Chunzhi changed the subject and took out the letter that Madam Yun wrote to Yunmeng, "Madam said she would burn it after reading it."

"I understand." Yun Meng took the letter and opened it. The letter was not long, but every sentence was full of useful information.

Madam Yun has realized that the atmosphere in the capital is not right, as if an evil wind is blowing, and reminds Yun Meng to close the doors and windows.

Yun Meng burned the letter after reading it, and then asked, "What's the situation on the front line?"

“The fighting on the front line is very brutal. The Dongqing army has begun to collect grain from the surrounding areas. The wealthy families who are unwilling to pay grain have been suppressed and killed.

In addition, General Han's journey north was not smooth. In order to collect food and fodder, General Han killed many people.

The army of Dongqing State and General Han is losing the support of the people. If things continue like this, I’m afraid they will soon become the target of public criticism.”

Yun Meng said "oh" and thought that Emperor Yong'an was really good at manipulating public opinion, but she didn't know if the two teams had reacted.

Especially General Han, he was a rebel in the first place. If he loses the support of the people, it will be more difficult for him to go north.

If Emperor Yong'an sends a large force to launch a surprise attack at the critical moment, it will surely inflict heavy damage on General Han's troops.

As long as General Han's troops are dealt with, it will serve as a good warning, and other generals and princes who are ready to make moves will put aside their thoughts.

Of course, if the operation is not done well, more princes and generals will rebel.

By then, no matter how many plans Emperor Yong'an made, they would be in vain. He would have to abdicate and let others take over, and the country would be changed.

Yunmeng went over the situation in her mind, without showing any expression, and went straight to have lunch after washing up.

Mo Bao didn't come over. The boy became more and more hardworking. He even stayed in the school to eat. He wished that the time for eating and going to the toilet could be used to study.

After dinner, Yun Meng was thinking about how to kill time when An Shisan ran in from outside the courtyard and shouted excitedly:

"Princess, the fight has started, the fight has started."

"What's the fight about?" Yunmeng asked.

"Cheng Jijiu's family was taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded. I didn't expect someone would actually rob the execution ground. I heard there was a lot of fighting over there.

The Emperor's Dark Dragon Guards cooperated with the Imperial Guards in an attempt to capture the people who robbed the execution ground alive, but when those people saw that the situation was not right, they all committed suicide by taking poison.

Cheng Jijiu's reputation was damaged again because of this robbery of the judge.

Those who had previously had a favorable impression of Cheng Jijiu and thought that he was pitiful have all changed their tune.

They believed that Cheng Jijiu was in collusion with Dongqing State and was a traitor to Yan State, and strongly demanded his immediate execution and beheading of Cheng Jijiu's entire family.

Cheng Jijiu was so angry that he ran into a wall and died in front of the Meridian Gate, his eyes were wide open when he died.

An Shisan said that Cheng Jijiu felt quite sympathetic towards the old man, as he had a barbecued pork daughter, which really ruined the whole family.

Yun Meng shook her head after listening to An Shisan's story. She could only say that Cheng Jijiu was really badly betrayed by Cheng Miaomiao.

If no one had disrupted the execution ground, then Cheng Jijiu's innocence could have been more or less preserved. But now that the execution ground has been disrupted, it's all over!

All that is left of Cheng Jijiu now is a bad reputation.

I don’t know what grudge Cheng Miaomiao has with Cheng Jijiu that made Cheng Miaomiao take revenge on Cheng Jijiu’s family in this way.

Yun Meng shook her head and asked, "Are all the other members of the Cheng family dead? Is there anyone to collect their bodies?"

"Everyone over the age of ten died, and those under the age of ten were exiled a thousand miles away. As for whether there is anyone to collect the bodies, that's hard to say."

An Shisan pointed in the direction of the mass grave and said, "I heard that Cheng Jijiu's family will be thrown into the mass grave. I'm afraid that few people dare to collect the bodies."

"It's a pity that Cheng Jijiu had so much knowledge." Yun Meng sighed and put the matter behind her.

Inside the prison, the beheading of Cheng Jijiu's family did not cause much commotion, as everyone's attention was focused on Duke Dingguo and the Left Prime Minister.

Although the two men were not imprisoned together, they were imprisoned in opposite doors. When the Left Prime Minister saw Duke Dingguo, he became so angry that he started cursing.

He scolded Duke Dingguo for being inhumane. He said he would cooperate with him one moment, but betrayed him the next. What a trustless bastard, now he is getting his retribution, right?

Duke Dingguo was already unhappy about his property being confiscated, and when he saw the Left Prime Minister showing off, he couldn't help but point at the Left Prime Minister's nose.

At the end of the quarrel, both sides started spitting at each other, just like a primary school quarrel. They didn't stop until they were tired of scolding each other with the jailer's scolding.

As soon as the jailer left, the two men's eyes turned unfriendly again.

The expressions of the two men in prison were all reported to Emperor Yong'an, but he seemed not to have heard them and was still sorting out the proceeds from the confiscation of property.

There are many things in it that can be used for sacrifice. Oh, and that one, yes, that one! That one can also be used.

Emperor Yong'an liked it more and more the more he looked at it. Now that all the sacrificial supplies were collected, he wouldn't have to be beaten tonight, right?

Feeling the pain coming from his body, Emperor Yong'an felt that he would not be beaten again. If he was beaten again, he would just...
