Lian Shang's beloved son's heart ached. Xuan Ye made an exception and bestowed the child's name.
The previous dynasty's crown prince had died, and he had reported the rebellion to the capital's military chief.
By the time Tuohai entered the palace, Xuan Ye had already regained his calm expression. Because you are the emperor, and only when you are calm, will the subjects be at ease. If you panic, the subject will be even more anxious than you are, Xuan Ye thought bitterly.
"Chén Tuhai pays his respects to Your Majesty." Toohey had been called forward for some reason.
"Tu Hai, how is it going with the arrest of the Third Prince of Zhu?" Xuan Ye asked in a low voice.
"Reporting to the Emperor, this court official was about to report this matter this morning. The case of Crown Prince Zhu San involves more than two thousand rebels and their relatives." Toohey quickly replied when he saw that the emperor was asking about the case.
"Excluding relatives, how many people are directly involved in the rebellion? "How does the Ministry of Justice negotiate with these people?" Xuan Ye pondered for a moment before asking.
"As far as the Emperor is concerned, 208 people have been directly involved in the conspiracy, and according to the law of the Great Qing, they shall be punished with the crime of rebellion, and shall be sentenced to death at a very late stage, and the crime shall be the execution of their relatives, and their relatives from their grandfather to their children, fathers, sons, sons, brothers, and cohabitants, regardless of their surname, and the sons of their uncles and brothers, and the sons of all men under the age of sixteen and above; the men under the age of fifteen, and the wives, wives, sisters, and property of the offender shall be taken into office." Tu Hai lowered his head and reported.
"According to your words, Prince Zhu San's case is going to be executed over a thousand people?" Xuan Ye said while looking at Tu Hai.
"Reporting to your majesty, according to the law of great clarity, this is the case." Toohey did not know what the Emperor meant.
"That Third Prince Zhu Qilong still hasn't been captured?" Xuan Ye lowered his head in thought.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject and others are useless." Tu Hai quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"Stand up. It's not like I'm blaming you." Xuan Ye continued to ask, "Can you confirm that this person is the previous dynasty's crown prince?"
"This... "Your majesty, we dare not make up our minds. After all, the previous dynasty has been destroyed a long time ago. If we do not capture this man, it would be hard to determine if he is the previous dynasty's crown prince." Tu Hai said hesitantly.
Xuan Ye thought for a long time, raised his head and said, "Tu Hai, the case of Crown Prince Zhu has made the people of the capital flustered. Now that we have arrested more than two thousand people, what will the people of the capital think? The Imperial Court will think that they are afraid, Tu Hai, and you will pass on my orders to the Ministry of Justice. The chaos in the capital this time around was caused by the jobless Yang Qilong under the guise of the Crown Prince of the previous dynasty, agitating the people of the capital in order to gain personal benefits and escape on his own, ignoring the lives of those who listened to his orders. All the rebels who participated in the rebellion were sentenced to death without delay for the leader, and all the accomplices were sentenced to death for graciousness, and all the relatives of the criminals were released for graciousness, so that they could live their lives peacefully at home and not be bewitched by any thieves anymore. "
"Your majesty the Emperor!" Tu Hai hurriedly cupped his hands together and said when he heard Xuan Ye's words.
"At this time, it would be better to reduce the number of citizens who bear grudges against the imperial government." "" Xuan Ye whispered as he stared at Tu Hai. "Remember, you must spread the word and check that Yang Qilong is the crown prince of the previous dynasty. He is a thief in chaos."
"This subject understands. Your majesty, rest assured." Tuhai truly admired the Emperor for his consideration of the issue.
"Alright, you can leave now. Quickly go to the Board of Justice and tell them not to bring up this matter again. It's not a big deal for these bandits to cause trouble." Xuan Ye nodded.
"Yes, this humble official will take his leave!" Toohey took his orders and went down.
Toohai had left. There was less than a quarter of an hour before morning. Xuan Ye sighed heavily in his heart. There probably wouldn't be any good news in the hall. Thinking about the son that he and Rong'er had just lost, Xuan Ye's heart ached.
"Consultant shop." "Eunuch." Xuan Ye called out to his eunuch. Your Majesty, your servant is here. "
"Has Little Brother's funeral been handed over to the Internal Affairs Bureau?" Xuan Ye asked with his eyes tightly shut.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to tradition, a cremation will be conducted for Brother Ah." Xuan Ye had handed this matter over to him, Noble Lady Rong, who was accompanied by his advisor.
"I want to give this child a name." Although there was an old saying among the ancestors that a child born in Shang was not given a name, his heart still ached. Although he hadn't paid much attention to Rong'er recently, he had asked the Internal Affairs Bureau to take care of the lives of some concubines with concubines wholeheartedly. Sai Cha was gone. Heaven knows how much he had hoped for Rong'er to give birth to another son, but why was that the case? Was she going to punish him like this just because he had neglected Rong'er recently? His seventh child, the third son of him and Rong'er! He wanted to give his son a name, at least when he talked to Rong'er about this child, it was a named Ah Ge.
Xuan Ye carefully thought of a name for his son, then raised his head and said, "Consultant shop, pass down the name of the clan. Little Brother A will give you the name Chang Hua and write it down in the family tree." Changhua, this was what he had been looking forward to. Huawei's glory, Changhua's glory, there was a day when he was the king of the country. He and Rong'er's children were not people he didn't want to lose, Cheng Rui, Sai Cha, Changhua, Xuan Ye thought bitterly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will pass on the message now." The counselor replied in a low voice, "Your majesty, it's about time for the morning assembly."
"Yes, to the imperial court." Xuan Ye nodded and stood up, burying all of his grief deep within his heart. In front of an official, he was nothing more than a fearless emperor.
The consultant quickly called out, "The emperor has set off to command the Supreme Harmony Temple."
As usual, there was no good news for the morning assembly today. The minister of war, Mingzhu, urgently reported that Hebei army commander, Cai Lu, had plotted a rebellion. Hebei was close to the capital, and the imperial court was extremely shocked by the report. According to the report, the Hebei army commander, Cai Lu Mi Tong Xiang Yang army commander Yang Lai Jia, planned to join forces with Wu San-gui. Cai Lu and Yang Laijiaji were former generals of Zheng's success. After Zheng's death, they surrendered to the Qing dynasty, and the imperial court specially bestowed them with the position of Governor of the Left. They were promoted from You to the position of military general of Hebei Province. The news of his secret rebellion just happened to be investigated by the guards who had been sent to do other tasks. They immediately reported it to the capital and sent the inner court minister, Amida, to lead the army to Chai Lu's garrison the next day to celebrate.
A single Wu Sanguan's rebellion had led to countless people betraying him. If it were not for Wu Sanguan's rebellion, the world would not have been thrown into chaos, and so would Cha Yin, and so would Changhua. He hated and hated Wu Sanguan from the bottom of his heart. The Minister of War, Wang Xi, went up and asked for Wu Yingxiong, the son of the traitor Wu Sangui, to be executed. This was exactly what he wanted; Wu Sanguan had given him a taste of his son's death, and he wanted Wu Sanguan to have a taste of it as well. However, there were also officials in the court who raised objections, saying that as long as Wu Yingren was not killed, Wu Sangui would still have the possibility of recruiting him in case the situation turned sour. Xuan Ye also recalled what the empress dowager had told him a few days ago.
Xuan Ye left the imperial court and was about to visit Rong'er in the palace when the eunuch servant reported, "Your majesty, the empress dowager has sent a message asking you to make a trip to the Palace of Tzu Ning first." Although Xuan Ye was worried about Rong'er, his Royal Grandmother's words had to go.
