The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Tu Jingnian's method was very simple and straightforward. Unlike Emperor Chengqing, he really didn't have a good impression of the king with a different surname. Before Pingan Prefecture was attacked, according to Tu Jingnian's thinking, Xining Palace should be kicked out of Pingan Prefecture. A mediocre idle king is fine. Who knows, Emperor Chengqing not only didn't drive Jin Xuan out of Ping'an Prefecture, but also allowed the Jin family to inherit the title of county king for one more generation. Isn't this adding trouble to himself!

Tu Jingnian didn't realize that he was forcing rebellion at all. He even wished to force the king of Xining to rebel so that he could wipe out the Xining palace in one fell swoop!

Therefore, Tu Jingnian directly reprimanded the king of Xining County. Of course, the reason was not that the king of Xining County did not agree with the reform of the military system, but that the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Xining Palace only sent his son to Beijing to congratulate him. It's disrespectful.

Jin Xuan was dumbfounded. Indeed, when the new emperor ascended the throne, among the four kings with different surnames, he was the only one who did not personally congratulate him. He just asked his eldest son Jin Huai to enter Beijing on his behalf. He was guilty at that time. He didn't feel that he had deceived the emperor, so he was worried that he would be detained by the emperor when he entered Beijing. Naturally, he didn't dare to move, but sent his son out. Anyway, he had more than one son. If the emperor dared to use Jin Huai as a pledge, So what if it's the other way around?In the end, Jin Huai came and went back, it seemed that he was very mean-spirited!Originally, he thought that this matter would just pass away, but Tu Jingnian directly grasped this matter and began to question the crime.

Jin Xuan had no choice but to write a letter to defend himself, saying that he was not in good health at the time and couldn't bear the long journey, so he didn't go to Beijing in person and asked Tu Jingnian for forgiveness.

Tu Jingnian did not intend to forgive at all. He directly said that the king of Xining County is old and sickly. Now the rotation of the military region can be carried out. You are an old minister, Prince of Xining County. Choose a good place for yourself to recuperate. Or, you can go back to Beijing. I will definitely send the Tai Hospital to consult you!

Jin Xuan almost died of anger!He just didn't want to leave Ping'an State. If there was no Ping'an State and such an army that he spent money to raise, wouldn't he be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered?

Now this matter has fallen into an endless loop. Before Jin Xuan had time to think of a solution, there was a newly promoted censor in the court who spoke uprightly, directly impeaching the corpse of the king of Xining County for a vegetarian meal, fornicating the Hu tribe, smuggling ordnance, and even opening a gold mine privately. , filled his own pockets, and Tu Jingnian directly ordered the king of Xining County to enter the Beijing court to debate.

Jin Xuan is not a decisive character, unless the knife is on his neck, otherwise, he has to look forward and backward.

Some of Jin Xuan's aides directly encouraged Jin Xuan to rebel. Jin Xuan's heart trembled when he thought of those who rescued Ping'an Prefecture back then. People are crushed to death!He still had some fluke mentality in his heart. He only felt that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and the government was still unstable, so he would not do things so badly. The second son took good care of the house at home, and prepared a retreat before leaving for the capital.

Although Tu Jingnian did not mean to kill Jin Xuan, he also hoped to separate the Xining Palace from Ping'an Prefecture. In his plan, Ping'an Prefecture would be an important trade zone. Compared with the Silk Road on land, it is safer. The geographical location of Ping'an Prefecture is just right, and it can completely become a free trade zone from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and this place will also become a springboard for economic aggression against the grasslands.

Therefore, no matter whether Jin Xuan comes or not, he is doomed to leave Ping'an Prefecture.

Even just a casual look from the superior can make the people below figure out hundreds of meanings. As long as the emperor is not a puppet, if he expresses his dislike for someone, the people below will naturally work hard to let that person People can never stand up.

Here, Tu Jingnian acquiesced in the imperial censor's impeachment of the Xining Palace, and also called the Xining Palace to enter the Beijing court to argue instead of going up and defending himself. This has clearly stated Tu Jingnian's attitude. Only then did I realize that the charges I had to refute this time were almost too numerous to list!

In the previous cleansing, many censors were in bad luck. They were just guns in other people's hands. They won a big victory. Originally, those people could only be unlucky. They were blessed by their ancestors to save their lives. The new censors either passed the imperial examinations a few times before, or they simply stayed in Zhan Shifu. They all have a heart to the emperor, and with an order from Tu Jingnian, even if they want to deal with gods and Buddhas all over the sky, they can make up various crimes, let alone a king with a different surname!

There are many crimes committed by the king of Xining County, and many of them are old things, such as eating empty wages, embezzling military supplies, colluding with the Hu tribe, killing good men and pretending to be meritorious, and then raising private soldiers, hiding ordnance and other very serious crimes .

According to the crimes listed by the censors, as long as half of them are true, the Xining Palace will not be able to escape the fate of ransacking the family and exterminating the family this time. What's more, many of the crimes are well-founded, which also makes Jin Xuan panic and secretly Regretting that I should not have returned to Beijing like this, I ordered someone to write a letter to my family and told them to prepare for the contingency.

But what Jin Xuan didn't realize was that his messenger was intercepted immediately, and on the other side of Ping'an Prefecture, the nails that had been planted when Emperor Chengqing was there were also activated, directly controlling the army there. After they got down, they faintly surrounded the Xining Palace, keeping watch at all times.

A forged secret letter was sent to the palace, saying that everything is fine and nothing happened. At most, he was reprimanded and his salary was cut off for a few years. However, he may not stay here for a long time in Ping'an Prefecture. , should be the same as the other palaces, and will have to live in the capital for a long time in the future.

At the moment, Xining Palace is in charge of Princess Xining County and the eldest son Jin Huai. The Princess of Xining County comes from the Palace of Dongping County, and she was also the person who was appointed as the county head.When they received the letter, they were naturally relieved. They couldn't think too far, not to mention that in their view, their family and the court have made meritorious service. If it weren't for the first generation of Xining County King, it might not be certain that they would be sitting on the Dragon Throne now. It's the disciples!Therefore, each of them is very determined. Although they are reluctant to part with the rich and oily place of Ping'an Prefecture, in the eyes of those who have seen the prosperity of Chang'an, Ping'an Prefecture is too remote and backward. In terms of enjoyment, it is far away. Far less than the imperial capital, the princess of Xining County grew up in Chang'an, and Jin Huai also lived in Chang'an for a period of time. It's okay if there is no comparison. With comparison, I suddenly feel that this borderland is really not a place for people to live. Besides, Xining The concubine of the county now has to prepare for the marriage of her own daughter and several sons and daughters. Such a rural place is not as convenient as Chang'an!Therefore, he simply ordered people to start packing up and prepare to move his family to Chang'an.

The Xining Prince's Mansion seemed to be a turtle in an urn. The spies in the County Prince's Mansion had figured out where some of the secret rooms and secret passages in the Palace were.

Jin Xuan was almost struggling in the court. He kept in touch with his old friends every day. However, most of them were very knowledgeable and they stayed behind closed doors. Dongping Palace was in-laws, but at this moment, only The title of a county duke is now in charge, the stepson of the old Dongping County king is in charge, but the concubine of Xining County is the original concubine daughter. After serving tea to see off the guests, I was so angry that the seven orifices were filled with smoke.

The same is true for the other families. It is too late for the Nan'an Prince's Mansion to protect themselves. They also worked with Tu Jingyi and the Zhen family before. In order to get rid of the crime, they had to hand over their only military power to After he came out, he even paid back the money owed to the state treasury with interest. The whole family shrank in the palace and did not dare to stand out, so how could they dare to interfere with the affairs of the Jin family.As for the King of Beijing County, he has come a long way with them over the years. The old King of Beijing County passed away two years ago, and the new King of Beijing County is the original son, Shui Rong. She was promoted to the princess twice again, so she naturally wanted to get closer to the royal family, but now Shui Rong was in the name of closing the door and keeping filial piety, so no one was seen.God knows, it is said that filial piety is three years these days, but in fact it is only 27 months. The time has passed long ago. When Shui Rong was out socializing, he didn't mention anything about filial piety. Now he uses this as an excuse, Jin Xuan Even if he was furious, there was nothing he could do.

When it came time for the court debate, Jin Xuan was not well prepared, and was left speechless by those censors' questions. He just kept yelling for injustice. Tu Jingnian took Jin Xuan's position temporarily in an understatement, and ordered him to stay in the county palace in the capital for a while. Studying behind closed doors, and handing over the case to a supervisor for investigation, if he was really wronged, he would naturally be cleared of his innocence, and if the crime was confirmed, then naturally he would not be tolerated.

It was said that she was studying behind closed doors, but in fact she was under house arrest. Jin Xuan was detained in the main courtyard of the palace, and could only walk around in the main courtyard. There were only a few guards around her, which made Jin Xuan even more uneasy.

Jin Xuan's premonition was correct. With the emperor's signal, Yousi's efficiency was unprecedentedly high. Soon, a lot of bitter witnesses appeared out of nowhere, accusing the Xining County King of taking office in Ping'an Prefecture and assassinating the imperial court official. , Colluding with barbarians, reselling arms, killing good men and pretending to be meritorious, privately opening gold mines, and then secretly hiding arms, plotting against the law, all in all, in less than half a month, the Xining Palace, which was originally glorious and had high hopes, completely collapsed , the army in Ping'an Prefecture was directly taken over by the people sent by Tu Jingnian. There was no disturbance in the middle. The Xining Palace was sealed up. He was locked in a prison van and escorted all the way to Beijing.The process of confiscating the Xining Palace also shocked those who knew it. Forget about gold and silver, the Xining Palace actually opened a horse farm outside of Ping'an Prefecture, raising thousands of good horses, and made a lot of money. A large amount of ordnance is enough to arm one or two thousand cavalry and about five thousand infantry. With such a skill, no one will believe that he does not want to rebel.

In addition to the confiscated letters between the Zhen family and the abolished queen's party, the palace of Xining County lost its title, and Jin Xuan was directly bestowed to death. Except for the boy's life, the rest of the people were sentenced to beheaded in the autumn. The princess of Xining County and Shi Zifei were also involved in it, so naturally they didn't save their lives, and all the rest of them were sent into slavery. Membership, sold in batches.

In his first year in power, Tu Jingnian took the lives of all the members of the Xining Palace to tell the world that he, the emperor, was not someone to be bullied, and he could not even tolerate any compromises!
