The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

In the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ji Wen and several confidants were sitting opposite each other. Everyone's complexion was not very good, and they all insisted on discussing matters here.In the past few days, the news from outside has been rushed into the palace non-stop. None of them can rest well, including Ji Wen, who only slept for less than ten hours in five days.

Ji Wen also didn't expect the abandoned prince to have such great energy. When he thought he had pulled out all the nails, he was able to attack the capital.

The newly appointed Shao Zhan Shi Su De reported: "The rebels are approaching the inner city, and [-] imperial guards have been dispatched to guard it, but the number of rebels exceeds expectations. If the reinforcements do not come for a long time, the inner city may fall."

After entering the inner city, the palace is not far away.Nowadays, a lot of troops have been mobilized to fight outside, and the number of troops in the palace is only [-]. If the rebels come in, I'm afraid the emperor will really have to change.

Ji Wen closed the information in his hands, and said to the worried subordinates a little tiredly: "Zijia and Zhongheng have already gone to Fengtai to deploy troops. If there is no accident, it will only be in one or two days. Ji Lugu is not Worrying, it's just a grasshopper after autumn. It's just that the war is stalemate, and the two lonely uncles will not be beautiful if they join forces to serve the king."

Ji Luo's stragglers are of course impossible to succeed, but if Zhongshun and Zhongqin, the two powerful vassals who own the vassal land, take this opportunity to "King Qin" or something, then the world will not be far from chaos.

So no matter from which aspect, Ji Wen earnestly hopes that Lin Chen can come back safe and sound, and end this chaos as soon as possible.Ji Wen thought for a while, then got up and went to the main hall. The place where they discussed was the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and now Shang and those clansmen who were invited into the palace by both soft and hard methods are in the main hall.

Bypassing those clan relatives who were somewhat unwilling to get up and salute him, Ji Wen went directly to the innermost bedroom where Imakami rested.In the past few days, maybe it was the flashback, or maybe it was stimulated by the news that his favorite son had actually rebelled, but Konaka regained some consciousness, and occasionally he could squeeze out a sentence or two from his throat.

After explaining the situation outside, Ji Wen said again: "The rebel army has no food and grass, and now they are burning, killing and looting in the city. This disaster was originally a civil turmoil in the Tian family, but it still affected innocent people. Two My elder brother's rebellion has already lost the human relations, although my son does not want to be a murderer like him, but now his behavior is so bad, I am afraid that if he does not die, the people will not be angry."

They are all his own sons, but now they meet each other in battle and fight each other. As a father today, how can he not feel pain in his heart?Furthermore, the deposed prince Ji Luo was his most beloved son in the past, and the only legitimate son of him and his original concubine, Empress He. This child was highly valued in the present world, otherwise there would be no conflict between two wastes and two conflicts.Now that Ji Wen is going to kill him, how can Jinshang be so cruel as to watch his son die?

It's just that he already lives day by day, and for the sake of the stability of the country, he has even handed over all the power in his hand to Ji Wen.Now that Ji Lu was going to cause chaos in the world, Jin Shang could only sigh in his heart, and acquiesced to Ji Wen's request.

Ji Wen got the right words from today's boss, and her heart became more at ease.Today, the father has agreed to it, and it will be more justifiable to execute Ji Luo when the time comes.

When Lin Chen and the reinforcements arrived in the capital, it was already seven days later.

He didn't surprise enter the palace as planned, but was blocked in the outer city when he couldn't enter for a long time. Ji Luo knew that this time probably wouldn't work. He let his soldiers massacre the official residence, and many ministers and their families were killed in a short while.In addition to killing people, he also took many high-ranking officials or courtiers close to Ji Wen as hostages, trying to threaten the crown prince.

Knowing that Lin Chen is the prince's loyal loyalist, Ji Luo also thought about detaining the Lin family.Fortunately, the Lin family and the eldest princess's mansion are close, and the eldest princess Shuyi invited Lin Daiyu and Gu Yanran into the princess mansion in time. Ji Lu was worried that the eldest princess was not dared to do it openly by her elders, so she saved her sister-in-law. two people.

However, he could only be arrogant for a while. As soon as the reinforcements arrived in the capital, they beat the rebels to pieces. Tens of thousands of rebels were wiped out. Ji Luo himself and his eldest son were also captured alive. They were also imprisoned in prison awaiting trial. Many people were involved in this rebellion, including the Gu family of Lin Chen's wife Gu Yanran, who were also inseparable from this rebellion.

However, this rebellion for the imperial power resulted in the loss of many innocent people's lives. As soon as the rebellion subsided, mourning resounded everywhere in the capital, white banners were hung up, and many families held funerals.Even some families were killed by the rebels and no one collected them, and the government had to send the dead to Yizhuang for burial.

The outer city is pretty good, but many families in the inner city, including their wives, children, and servants, were deliberately slaughtered by the rebels, so they could only rely on the officials for funerals.Even Ji Wen's side concubine, Chen Shi, died because of being frightened by this disaster.

Passing through several houses with white cloth hanging on the plaques, he could still hear the crying from inside. Lin Chen frowned slightly, and was greeted by the concierge of the eldest princess's mansion, and stepped into this seemingly unaffected by the flames of war. mansion.

Because the greeting card has been posted long ago, the eldest princess Shuyi led Gu Yanran and Lin Daiyu to wait in the main hall. Seeing Lin Chen coming at this time, the eldest princess smiled after receiving his salute: "Now your wife My sister is innocent, and I am lucky enough to live up to my fate. Mr. Lin Xiaoxiang should lead the people back earlier, I have complicated affairs here, so I will talk to you in the future."

Lin Chen also knew that this was a hectic moment, so he didn't say anything more, he just thanked the eldest princess sincerely, gave the gift of thanks, and led the people back to the mansion.

The master of the Lin family was lucky enough to get the support of the eldest princess, but the rebels still broke into the mansion. After this disaster, the only few courtyards in the Lin family were Zhuxi Pavilion, where Daiyu usually lived. Except for the remote ones that escaped catastrophe, the rest are all destroyed and uninhabitable, and there are even traces of fire in some places.

Lin Chen sent the two aunts and sister-in-laws all the way to Zhuxi Pavilion, and first ordered the two maids who followed Daiyu to hide in the Princess Mansion to help Daiyu wash and rest first, and then took Gu Yanran to the wing here.

After worrying for the past few days, Gu Yanran was also extremely sleepy. From Lin Chen's solemn expression, he knew that he must have something urgent, so he could only brace himself and sit there waiting for him to speak.

Ever since Gu Yanran uttered the truth after drinking that she wanted to go into business, Lin Chen wanted to arrange for her to leave the capital with Jia Lian's caravan, but she never knew how to tell her about it.After all, she is doing the work of the grandma of the Lin family, and she is usually well-clothed and well-fed. Running a business is mostly just a boudoir's boring thinking, and she may not really be willing to give up a good life instead of going through hardships.

But now the Gu family actually conspired against the abolished prince. Gu Yanran, as the married daughter of the Gu family, even if the Lin family graciously spared her life, but in order to distance himself from the rebellious party, Lin Hai would definitely ask Lin Chen to divorce his wife.In such a situation, for Gu Yanran, feigning death and leaving Beijing became the best way out.

These thoughts swirled in Lin Chen's mind, and he said to Gu Yanran after deliberation, "Many families in Beijing were also implicated in the abolition of the crown prince's conspiracy, and some of them were really implicated by the rebels biting them." Yes, but some of them are really heinous..."

Seeing Gu Yanran looking at herself with a puzzled face, she finally said cruelly: "The Gu family also participated in this conspiracy this time. It is the Gu family's effort that the soldiers of the abolished prince can attack the inner city."

The news was so cruel that Gu Yanran's face turned pale immediately. She has been in the princess mansion these days, and the news is very closed. The eldest princess will not have the leisure to come and tell her about the outside world. It was only today that she found out about her natal family's treason news.

After all, the rebellion of the Gu family has nothing to do with her as a married woman, and Gu Yanran has suffered an innocent disaster, so Lin Chen still has some sympathy for her.

He also said: "As a daughter of the Gu family, although you have married me as a wife, the crimes in this family are really heinous, and even the Lin family may not be able to protect you."

Naturally, Gu Yanran also understood that her natal family had committed a heinous crime this time. Although she was married, she was still the daughter of the Gu family. In order to get rid of herself, the Lin family probably let herself "die of illness".Thinking like this, she thought that Lin Chen said these words to herself to let herself see the reality clearly, and to get rid of herself earlier and not wait until her husband's family to do it.

After being instantly reduced from being a prostitute of a prominent family to a criminal minister, Gu Yanran's heart felt ashamed.Previously, she had thought of easing the relationship with her husband's family earlier, so that she could be the wife of Lin's family in peace and stability in the future, but after just a few days, even living a good life has become a luxury...

With a look of sadness on her face, she said weakly: "Since the uncle said that my family is a 'heavy crime', it must be impossible to escape this time by ransacking the family and exterminating the family. The Gu family is going to be gone, and naturally I, the daughter of the Gu family, do not want to live in the For the sake of the world, just rest assured that the uncle will not get your hands dirty."

Seeing that her understanding was lost, Lin Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. It's true that the Gu family conspired against each other, but the crime is not as serious as a married daughter. My Lin family can naturally keep grandma alive. It's just that if we keep grandma clearly, grandma Don't be upset, I will definitely divorce my wife. But if grandma 'passes away', I have an excellent way to arrange for you, and the sea and the sky will be brighter in the future, and the vastness of the country will be left to grandma!"

As he spoke, he told Gu Yanran the arrangement he had discussed with Ji Wen in advance. Of course, he didn't bring Ji Wen with him. He only said that his cousin in the Rongguo Mansion had a caravan. Woman, if Gu Yanran wanted to, she could trade with the caravan, and if she didn't want to, he could give her a large sum of money to help her settle down outside the capital.

All in all, in one sentence, our Lin family will kindly arrange a way out for you, but the premise is that you obediently pretend to die and sever ties with the Lin family.

Gu Yanran originally thought that she was going to die, but she didn't want Lin Chen to be willing to arrange a way out for her. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with it, so she hurriedly agreed happily, and said what she said just now with her red lips and white teeth, "I don't want to live anymore." Yu Shi" and other words are completely forgotten.

It's just that the Gu family has not been convicted yet, so Gu Yanran has to figure it out slowly.

However, by reaching an agreement with Gu Yanran, Lin Chen has finally settled a matter in his heart, at least he won't have to worry about how to arrange for this regular wife in the future.

The rebellion launched by the deposed prince Ji Luo was suppressed within ten days. During the period, countless court humerus were killed by the rebel army, and many courtiers who took refuge in Ji Luo were imprisoned. For a while, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were reduced by more than half , A lot of positions are vacant.

However, these seats will soon be filled by people promoted by Ji Wen himself, and this batch of new ministers will be more loyal to Ji Wen.So to put it bluntly, the death of those ministers was really a good thing for Ji Wen.

Witnessing two biological sons killing each other made Imakami's already precarious health even worse. Imakami's condition deteriorated rapidly, and the imperial doctors tried their best to treat him to no avail.

On the day when the first batch of rebels were escorted to the guillotine, Jinshang died and was passed on to the crown prince, Ji Wen.

Along with the imperial decree to pass on the throne, there was another last decree—the abolished prince Ji Luo and his descendants were demoted to ordinary people, and his eldest son Ji Yuan was executed.

After all, Jinshang still couldn't bear to kill the son he had always loved, leaving him a way out in this way.However, for the sake of common people's anger, he still executed Ji Luo's eldest son, who was in trouble with his father, so that Ji Wen could have an account with the people of the world.

No matter how unwilling Ji Wen was, it was impossible to disobey Emperor Daxing's will, so she could only grit her teeth and let Ji Luo go.However, his family property was still confiscated into the government, and Ji Lu and his wife and children were all sent three thousand miles away, destined to spend the rest of their lives in a bitter cold place.

After doing all this, Ji Wen ascended the throne with the title of Qingde.
