Chapter 137
King Qian looked at the women and children who were pushed out, and burst out laughing.After laughing enough, he said: "Who am I? It turns out to be my cousin who eats everything."

He shrugged his shoulders and said to the man: "Concubine Yun Gui, you really are not dead."

Seeing that he revealed her identity, Concubine Yun Gui, Princess Shaochun, took off the curtain, and said with a fierce look in her eyes: "The jiao family's bastards are not dead, how could I die, I want to live well, live Look at the miserable end of you slaves who betrayed the master."

King Qian was not angry when he heard this, it was just the turtle in the urn showing off his tongue.

"Imperial concubine, do you know how you are described in an old folk saying?" Qian Wang smiled, and said loudly: "You are called the grasshopper after autumn, and you can't jump up."

"You..." Princess Shaochun's expression was very gloomy.

King Qian shook his head, "No, you are not a grasshopper after autumn, you should be a grasshopper in winter—frozen."

After speaking, he laughed out loud as if he had heard some terrible joke.

Princess Shaochun angrily snatched the knife from the guard at the side, and put it on Princess Qingyang's neck, "Let me go!"

Only then did the king stop laughing.

"What if the king doesn't let go?"

After hearing this, Princess Shaochun threw the sword, snatched the child from Princess Qingyang's arms, pinched Kang Ning's neck with her hands, and Kang Ning was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Princess Shaochun turned to look at Wu Han, "Wu Shizi, this child is the child of your direct cousin and best friend, will you save it or not?"

When Princess Shaochun put the knife on her neck before, Princess Qingyang didn't make a sound, but now seeing her son being strangled, she was terrified.

She cried and shouted to Wu Han for help, hoping that he could save her son.

Wu Han glanced at Kang Ning, whose face was livid from crying, and said to the king, "My lord, the child is innocent!"

King Qian glared at him, "Her mother colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, he is not innocent at all."

After speaking, he looked at Yan Li again, "What does Yan Shaoqing think?"

Yan Li said in a deep voice: "The death of Princess Qingyang is more than justified. Whether her child lives or dies depends entirely on her own destiny."

After hearing this, King Qian showed an approving smile.

He looked at Princess Shaochun, "This king hates being threatened the most." After speaking, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed Xun Kuang's right leg with the sword, and Xun Kuang's scream was heard the next moment.

"Kuang'er!"

Seeing this, Princess Shaochun couldn't help shouting.

Seeing that Princess Shaochun's full attention was on the injured Xun Kuang, Princess Qingyang took the opportunity to snatch the child back from her.

Next, Princess Shaochun made an unexpected move.She picked up the knife on the ground and put it on King Yu's neck, and said loudly to King Qian, "As long as you let Kuang'er go, I will hand him over to you, otherwise I will kill him."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

King Qian thought he heard it wrong, and looked at her in disbelief: "He is your son."

Princess Shaochun said sternly: "He has the blood of the rebellious slave Jiao family, so he is not worthy to be my son."

After hearing this, King Qian felt a little sorry for King Yu.

On the other hand, King Yu looked indifferent. Before that, he already knew that the reason why he rebelled with them was just to make his mother and concubine regret it.

He always thought that everything the concubine mother did was for himself.It wasn't until that day that he heard the conversation between his mother and concubine Xun Kuang that he realized that his mother had always used him as a pawn and a stepping stone for revenge.

The plate of pastries that had caused him pain for 20 years was also made by his mother. She obviously had an antidote, but she refused to take it for him. Instead, she took advantage of his father's guilt to collect money from his father. Carry out the activities of restoring the country in private.

King Yu suddenly figured it out, let go of everything, and let Princess Shaochun and Xun Kuang toss about.It was precisely because of King Yu's indifference that Princess Shaochun and Xun Kuang lost so quickly.

Thinking of this, King Yu pursed his lips and looked at King Qian: "Jiao Yu, you have to think clearly, you are holding the grandson of the previous dynasty. If you let him go, will you be able to withstand the thunderous wrath of your father?"

When the king heard it, yes, Xun Kuang was a key figure in restoring the country from the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he would never trade him for anyone.

Although Emperor Yuanhe said that he wanted to capture King Yu alive.

Seeing that King Qian refused to let him go, Princess Shaochun became angry.

King Yu turned his head to look at her, "Is the concubine mother angry?" Without waiting for Princess Shaochun to speak, he smiled, "Does the concubine mother feel hopeless?"

Princess Shaochun looked at him with sharp eyes, and he continued: "Next, Concubine Mother will be even more desperate."

After hearing this, Princess Shaochun was stunned for a moment. At this moment, King Yu suddenly held the blade with both hands, and slashed fiercely on the neck, causing a big gash in the neck that was bleeding profusely.

King Yu committed suicide.

Only then did Princess Shaochun understand what he meant by what he said earlier.

She stared blankly at the direction where King Qian was, and the shock on King Qian's face was not less than her.But King Qian reacted quickly, and stabbed Xun Kuang's chest with a knife in front of her.

Xun Kuang stared at her with wide eyes, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"No!"

Princess Shaochun yelled sadly, and in an instant, she really tasted the taste of despair.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xun Kuang and King Yu died, Yan Li and Wu Han started to act, and King Qian also cooperated very well, and soon caught all the remnants of the rebellion.

The rebellion at the end of Yuanhe's 20th year finally subsided.

When Emperor Yuanhe learned that King Yu was dead, his condition worsened again, and after he executed Princess Shaochun himself, he fell into a coma.

When Emperor Yuanhe was in a coma, Yan Li went to Qingxu Temple to pick up his wife and children, and escorted the princess, mother and son back to the palace.

The next day, Emperor Yuanhe woke up from a coma and summoned the Prince and King Qian.After that, Wu Han was summoned again.No one knew what he said to Wu Han, only that Wu Han immediately resigned from the post of commander of the Imperial City Department after he came out of his bedroom.

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the 21st year of Yuanhe, Emperor Yuanhe passed away after arranging everything.One month later, the prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor under the advice of the courtiers that "a country cannot live without a king".

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing to do was to remove the hidden stakes that Princess Shaochun and others had planted in the capital one by one, completely extinguishing the spark of the former dynasty's restoration of the country.

The next step is to deal with the remnants of the criminals who followed King Yu to rebel, those who ransacked their homes, exiled those who were exiled, and issued imperial edicts one after another, and countless people were convicted.

After completing the first two things, it was time to reward the meritorious ministers. All the meritorious ministers who participated in the suppression of the rebellion were rewarded.

In this award, there are two most dazzling protagonists - Wu Han and Yan Li.Needless to say, property and rewards, official position and power are the most important.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, although Wu Han was the confidant of the first emperor, he was still reused by the new emperor.

After he resigned from the position of Commander of the Imperial City Division, the new emperor appointed him as the Chief Procurator of the Procuratorate Division. His main tasks were to inspect the prefectures and counties, assess local officials, and investigate the criminal law matters of the prefectures and counties in Dayong.

Yan Li, as the new emperor's absolute confidant, in addition to continuing to lead the official position of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also took over the Imperial City Division in place of Wu Han, becoming the new commander of the Imperial City Division, directly obeying the emperor's orders, not under the jurisdiction of the court.

In addition, his honor and his mother and his wife were honored, Mrs. Yan was awarded the title of the second-rank wife, and Qi Tanying was awarded a rank only one level lower than her mother-in-law.The Yan family has officially entered the ranks of the upstarts in Kyoto.
