Chapter 480: Much More Miserable Than Direct Execution
Judging from the notice posted at the city gate, the emperor was very lenient in punishing those who plotted rebellion.
That’s right, all the people involved in this conspiracy to usurp the throne, except for those who were hacked to death on the spot, were given lenient sentences.
Whether it was the masterminds such as Qi Siyu and Concubine Xian, or the followers such as the Guan family and the Chen family, they were all sentenced to exile to the border, which was near the Black Bear Pass in the north.
This is naturally against the law and is an attempt to usurp the throne, which is a capital crime.
But among those who committed the crime this time, Qi Siyu is the emperor's biological son, Qi Sihan is the emperor's biological nephew, and as for Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian, they are both the emperor's concubines.
What's more, among them is the Empress Dowager, who supported the Emperor in the past.
They were all his relatives. If they were all beheaded together, the emperor would have a bad reputation.
Besides, even if all these people were beheaded, it would be difficult to eliminate the emperor's anger at being plotted against.
Now this method is very good. It makes the evil deeds of these people public so that people all over the world can understand the situation.
It emphasized that these people colluded with the Northern Di people in order to let the Northern Di army rush into the Yuan Dynasty to harm people.
Haha, for one's own selfish desires, one sacrifices the lives and properties of thousands of people. Who wouldn't be furious to death after hearing this?
Finally, the emperor sent people to deliberately guide and incite the people to act impulsively.
In the end, the fate of these people was far more miserable than direct execution.
"So that's how it is. I was saying that I saw a few people in the crowd today and they seemed to be quite skilled."
After listening to Yuxiu's analysis, Qingyun looked thoughtful.
Looking at the anger of the people today, she was also worried about Qi Siyu and his group.
My goodness, it is true that living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. This old emperor looks kind and merciful, but he is quite insidious in private.
In fact, most of the people in the capital city did not truly appreciate the brutality of the Northern Di soldiers.
As Qi Siyu and his men moved further north, the closer they got to the border, the more angry the people became about their actions.
After these exiles passed through so many cities in the north, even if they could make it to the border, they would probably only have one breath left.
By then, the people will be able to stab someone to death with just a flick of their fingers.
"What else? As an emperor, if he really doesn't have some skills, he won't be able to sit firmly on the chair under his buttocks."
Yuxiu never dared to underestimate the emperor in the slightest.
One of the reasons why she wanted her master to appear powerful and mysterious was to shock the emperor.
Ha ha……
I have a powerful master. If you want to touch me and my family, you should carefully consider whether you have the ability to do so!
Because of the Second Prince's rebellion, many people in the capital were implicated. For a while, everyone was insecure, fearing that someone would expose them one day.
In fact, everyone knows it well. Everyone has some things that cannot be made public.
As long as the emperor really wants to investigate, he will find out the truth. When the time comes, no one can escape the consequences.
In this tense atmosphere, Yuxiu also felt that the capital was very boring.
"Why don't we go and take a look at the rewarded fiefdom?"
Qingyun is a person who can't sit still. He has been following Yuxiu around these days and has almost toured the capital city.
"I never thought that I would have a fiefdom one day. This is something I never dared to imagine before."
Yuxiu sighed. Although it was a small county town, it was her own fiefdom.
She had only seen this kind of thing on TV and in novels before, but she never expected that such a good thing would happen to her now. It always made her feel in disbelief.
"Miss Wen will be getting married in a few days. As her good friend, I will naturally stay and drink a glass of wedding wine."
They have already invited me, and I have already agreed. It would be inappropriate to leave without saying a word now.
"Attending a wedding? I'll go and see it too."
Qingyun also thought of this incident and his eyes lit up.
She has never actually drunk wine at a wedding, so she must experience it this time.
"Host, you should also try your best, and let me, your little system, drink a glass of your wedding wine..."
She said with some joy that she was probably the first system that could personally drink the wedding wine of its host.
"How can I try? I can't just run out onto the street and snatch a date back, right?"
Yuxiu felt a little sad and forced a smile.
She was still here worrying about not having a partner, but she didn't know that her partner was already running towards her at full speed.
Outside the gate of Prince Ning’s Mansion.
A group of people coming out of the palace stopped right here.
When Eunuch Gui got off the carriage, the old butler at the door hurriedly brought people to greet him.
After a few polite words, Eunuch Gui stated his purpose.
He required that, except for Xu Jinren and his son who were sent to escort the suspect, all other people in Ning Wang's Mansion, including the family of Yuxiu from the third wife, must be present to listen to him read out the imperial edict issued by the emperor.
Since it was an imperial decree, the old butler dared not delay and quickly sent everyone around him out to look for the person.
Then he arranged for Eunuch Gui and his companions to sit down and have some tea and rest, and then he personally ran to the backyard to report to the old princess.
Because there has been quite a bit of unrest in the capital city these days, and now the people in the palace have created such a big fuss.
Not only did the people in Prince Ning's mansion start to get nervous, even the people outside who came to watch the fun couldn't help but worry for them.
But the old princess had no reason to panic. Upon learning that the servants had been sent out to look for someone, she called the maids in to help her wash and dress up.
Anyway, no matter what the other person's situation is, her Ning Wangfu Xu family is not only not involved in the conspiracy to usurp the throne, but also has no criminals.
Therefore, the old princess guessed that the eunuch Gui’s personal visit today was most likely a reward from the emperor to the Ning Palace.
However, the Ning Palace is now at the pinnacle of power, and she doesn't want the emperor to give her any more rewards.
If it really doesn't work, then just give more money as a reward.
Although gold, silver and jewelry may sound tacky, who wouldn’t like these tacky yellow and white things?
When Yuxiu returned home with the food she bought outside, she saw Cui pacing in the yard, muttering to herself.
