Chapter 154: The Overlord of the World vs. Female Zhuge Military Advisor 11
Tomorrow it will be hung high. The Wanning Street archway will be tall and solemn, with the four characters "Wanning Yongle" inscribed on it.
The Qin family is at the end of the long and spacious street.
The atmosphere in the Qin family's study was solemn.
"Are you saying that Shen Junzhou's people are coming here?"
Shen Yuanjia fell back into his seat in disbelief, his face instantly turning pale.
He looked at the Qin family in front of him weakly and dejectedly, and smiled bitterly.
"So fast, worthy of being Shen Junzhou."
At this moment, opposite him, an old man sat upright with his eyes closed and remained silent.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes, revealing his sharp eyes, like a wolf that had been dormant for a long time and finally attacked.
"Your Highness, if we surrender now, you and I will have no chance of survival."
"Grandpa!"
Shen Yuanjia understood the meaning of his words and was horrified.
If you don't surrender, are you going to rebel?
"My mother is still in Pingjing!"
My mother is still in the palace. If Qin rebels, no matter what the reason is, my mother will have no way to survive!
Qin Fang knew very well the plight of Concubine Qin, but to sacrifice one person and the entire Qin family, he would naturally give up something in his heart.
He also knew that his grandson was not cruel enough, so he could only show Chen Ming how powerful he was.
"Jiangnan Prefecture has 60,000 soldiers and horses. As long as Your Highness gives an order, the prince will fall into our hands. With him as a hostage, how dare the Queen and Lin Tianzheng touch your mother?"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Qin Fang frowned and said fiercely, "Your Highness! This is the last chance. Otherwise, the Qin family and even the Imperial Concubine will only be sentenced to death and the whole clan will be exterminated!"
Shen Yuanjia was being stimulated by the fear of dying and the temptation of rebellion; his heartbeat and breathing were irregular.
The Qin family members were waiting for his decision with solemn expressions, as if he had become their lord and their life or death depended on his words.
Shen Yuanjia slowly clenched his fists. He had only this one choice.
The opportunity to become the emperor is right in front of him, and Shen Junzhou's life or death depends on his single thought.
This is the status, power and ambition of the aristocratic family.
There are no poor families in the upper class, and there are no noble families in the lower class.
How many officials come from aristocratic families and hold power? In Ningzhou Prefecture and even Jiangnan Prefecture, most of the officials are direct descendants of the Qin family.
The aristocratic families are deeply feared by the emperors because they have the ability to rebel.
Riding horses along the long street, You Yunfei arrived with hundreds of riders riding on the wind.
Qin Fang had been waiting for him and walked out of the Qin Mansion.
He stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, his white hair making him look like a kind-hearted old man.
Behind him, soldiers in armor and holding swords were filing out.
"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send troops to surround my Qin family?"
His sharp eyes swept over You Yunfei and his group.
Shen Junzhou was accompanied by officers and soldiers who were escorting silver and grain for disaster relief. How could he encircle and suppress a powerful family like the Qin family that had deep roots in the local area?
He was very calm in his heart, but even so, he still found an excuse for the confrontation later.
"Ningzhou is the birthplace of my Qin family. It was hit by a natural disaster and thousands of people died. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally provided disaster relief. I am grateful, but now I know that the Crown Prince actually embezzled 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver!"
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said bluntly: "This is the evidence of the Crown Prince's dealings with the Ningzhou governor. The Crown Prince wants to exterminate my entire Qin family for this! Now my Qin family will never tolerate this!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it down, "Kill!"
"What an old wretch."
You Yunfei smiled sarcastically and drew his sword.
The sharp sound of the sword being unsheathed was like an order, and the people behind him immediately followed him to meet the enemy!
……
The water-washed streets were damp and dark at night.
There was a battle during the day and the blood flowed like a river. By night it had been cleaned up and only the smell of blood remained.
The surviving members of the Qin family knelt at the foot of the stairs. They were overwhelmed with fear and prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to beg for mercy.
The terrifying aura of thousands of black-armored cavalrymen charging through the hail of spears and arrows a few hours ago is still vivid in our minds. No one dares to rebel against the murderous intent that could almost shatter human bones.
And now the person standing on the steps is no longer Qin Fang.
"General, the Qin family is here."
You Yunfei stood respectfully behind Lin Tianzheng.
Lin Tianzheng was originally leading his troops to the Zhongnan Sea border, and had just arrived in Xuzhou yesterday. At night, he received a secret order from the prince, and immediately led a team of soldiers and horses to rush here at full speed.
His appearance was enough to suppress the turmoil in Ningzhou.
It is also the last link in this meticulous plan.
A series of tricks, each linking closely to the next.
The one who planned everything behind the scenes was Chun Nianren.
What about corruption, abuse of power, and favoritism? All the aristocratic families need to do is to put a few scapegoats aside and easily put an end to the natural and man-made disasters in Ningzhou.
Throughout history, the only reason that could make an emperor kill his son is rebellion.
The candlelight was dim at night, and the only sound was the footsteps of the patrol team.
The room on the second floor of the inn had sealed windows and was empty. It was not a prison but it was almost like one.
The Second Prince, who was once extremely wealthy and powerful, now had bloodstained and dirty clothes, and his long hair was disheveled.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he slowly raised his head and saw the face of the person coming in with the help of the faint oil lamp on the wall.
She was a woman, beautiful though she was, her features looked somewhat sad.
"Are you the female strategist beside Shen Junzhou?"
He had heard that there was a woman who was very capable of planning things by Shen Junzhou's side, but he had not taken it seriously before. However, now it seemed that this woman must have been responsible for his current defeat.
He still looked down on Shen Junzhou and the woman beside him.
I also saw many people and things clearly.
I lost today, but Shen Junzhou didn't win either!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
He suddenly burst into laughter, the shackles on his wrists rattled, and he looked extremely crazy.
"He was born as a crown prince, his birth mother is the empress, his mother's family is the Zhenguogong Mansion which has the military power to pacify Tang, and his future wife's family is the Chun family, the leader of the Qingliu clan.
Everyone thought that he was the one designated by his father to inherit the throne, so they made such plans for him, gave him power and paved the way for him.
Tell him that what I thought was a loving father and filial son was a joke, and what he thought was a loving father and filial son was also a joke! "
Perhaps because he was about to die, he suddenly came to his senses, fell to the ground, and tears flowed from his smile.
“Hahahahaha! It’s a joke too! It’s all a joke!!!”
Chun Nianren remained unmoved, even though there were princes in front of her, even though she was hearing the secrets of the royal family.
Outside the house, the man was standing on the porch.
Shen Junzhou was dressed in a black robe, looking noble and stern. His tall and straight figure was hidden in the dark night, and his expression was unclear.
But Liu Xi behind him only felt a chill in his heart, and some things that he had never noticed in the past were about to emerge in his heart.
When the Chun and Lin families got married, they didn't care at all about the fact that the aristocratic family was more powerful than the royal family.
Are His Majesty and the Chunlin family really of one mind?
The emperor appointed General Lin's sister as his empress. Was it really because he trusted the Lin family? Or was it because of the situation at the time?
Your Majesty is in his prime now. Does he really want to see the Crown Prince's reputation grow, and in the future his mother's family or his wife's family become powerful and influential throughout the court, with everyone calling him the Crown Prince?
The Emperor is your Highness's father, but your Highness is not the Emperor's only son.
Among all the princes, apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shen Yuanjia is the most favored by His Majesty. Even the legitimate son of the Queen, Shen Yuanxi, is not as good as him...
Was it really not because Shen Yuanjia had once received hints from the saint that he wanted to compete?
After all, without strong support, your Highness's position as the Crown Prince is so stable, who would dare to covet it...
And if he can think of it, is it possible that Shen Junzhou can’t think of it?
