Chapter 297 Sharpening the knife to the aristocratic family
The chamberlain thought for a long time and named several people, including ministers and members of the royal family.What shocked Xiang Jingkun the most was that the sons of Emperor Min all closed their doors to thank guests and rarely saw anyone.
"They didn't even leave their rooms?" Xiang Jingkun asked.
The servant said hesitantly: "Back to the emperor, King Yong'an, King Shou'an, King Chang'an, and King Heguang have all been in their mansions during this period. They have not gone out to meet friends or attended banquets. As for whether the servants are really there except for the door. have no idea."
King Yong'an is Xiang Yuling, the eldest prince of Emperor Min. He is the eldest son of Emperor Min. His mother died young and he is already married. He is a low-key person and never shows off. In the hearts of everyone, he is a very calm and honest man who does not stand out.
King Shou'an is the second prince Xiang Yumo, the legitimate son of Emperor Min. He is proud that his mother is the queen, but he has never been given the title of prince. He is arrogant and appears to others to be arrogant and brainless.
King Chang'an was the son of the third prince Xiang Lixing and Emperor Min's favorite concubine Rong Fei. However, he was not as popular as the tenth prince Xiang Longyu, who was favored by Concubine Rong and Concubine Min.
King Heguang is the tenth prince Xiang Longyu, the youngest son of Concubine Rong. He has a sunny and cheerful personality, is good at literature and martial arts, and is sweet-talking. He is most favored by Concubine Rong and Emperor Min.
Originally, Xiang Yumo and Xiang Longyu might have a battle to win the rightful son, which made everyone in Kyoto panic and uneasy. However, no one expected that Xiang Jingkun came out of the blue, overturned the table, and formed a group of his own. New game.This resulted in the road they had laid out to seize the throne, all of a sudden being useless.
Although Xiang Jingkun did not kill them all, they had no choice but to think about the matter of seizing the direct descendants. Let alone whether they could seize the throne from their cousins, when Xiang Jingkun took the throne, they Pulling out all the nails would be enough to severely damage their vitality.
Not to mention that Xiang Jingkun also gave each of them a title with a warning: Yong'an: always peaceful; Shou'an: peaceful and guard oneself; Chang'an: peaceful and steady; Heguang Wang: the world is harmonious with the light, or in other words, harmonious with the light.
Deeply hit, they had to thank guests behind closed doors one after another, and never contacted important external officials again.
As the sons of Emperor Min, at most two of his disciples and retainers had to thank guests behind closed doors to avoid jumping too high and being seen by their cousin. The remaining two, who were already peaceful, became even more secluded from the world and began to weaken their sense of existence. .
This has led to the fact that the four of them haven't been out much recently.
Xiang Jingkun frowned slightly after hearing what the chamberlain said.He has been frowning more and more frequently recently, and his frown has created a shallow groove between his eyebrows.
"Understood, let's go down."
Xiang Jingkun drove out the chamberlain and the chamberlain standing next to him, and did not give any more orders. Instead, he sat in the study by himself, staring blankly at the sun that was starting to set outside.
He felt a hint of loneliness in the night wind.
Xiao Yinchu once had a grandmother, an adopted father, a biological father, brothers, and people who cherished each other. Although he was suffering, he was surrounded by relatives.
Now Xiang Jingkun's great-aunt is not her grandmother, and her adopted father has become her cousin. Her biological father once wanted to pull him down, and even wanted to kill him when he was crazy. The brothers are no longer close, but to prevent his He was jealous of going to the frontier, and the people who cherished each other did not want to get along with him anymore because of the isolation of this imperial city.There are only a few cousins who are somewhat related by blood, but they are also very jealous of each other.
Xiang Jingkun sighed deeply: "Here comes someone!"
The secret guard appeared in front of Xiang Jingkun.
"Send a few people to keep an eye on Emperor Min's four sons. If they do anything strange or have any strange smell on their bodies, report them immediately."
The secret guard took the order and left. Xiang Jingkun rubbed the bridge of his tired nose, called the servant in, lit the oil lamp, and continued to review the memorial.
The blisters on your feet are all caused by yourself. Since you are not willing to be a fish, don't complain about the pain of being a swordsman.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he not only has to deal with daily national affairs, but also cleanses the old party.
The aristocratic families in Kyoto are rotten to the core. I heard that Mu Pingcheng once gave the town king Kang Haoyi an idea. When Xiang Jingkun was about to attack Kyoto, he would directly kidnap Emperor Min and seek refuge with Xiang Jingkun, thus dedicating the city to him. He continued to enjoy his glory and wealth, but unexpectedly, Emperor Chu Min actually dared to send Kang Haoyi out, and even roped in the useless Kang Sheng, which completely drove Kang Haoyi to a panic, and finally everything collapsed.
The aristocratic family in Kyoto didn't know where they got the news, and they still wanted to imitate the cat. Xiang Jingkun simply acted quickly at that time, otherwise he would have to restrain his hands when digging out the rotten roots of the aristocratic family this time.
When Kang Haoyi failed, Xiang Jingkun sent someone to look for Mu Pingcheng, but not only could they not be found, even the secret guard that Kang Haoyi had given to Mu Pingcheng could not be found.
Xiang Jingkun didn't pay too much attention to it. As long as Mu Pingcheng didn't come out for the rest of his life, he could treat Mu Pingcheng as dead.
But the aristocratic family couldn't do it. They had been entrenched in this dynasty for too long, like arrogant and domineering dodders, entrenched on the big tree of Dachu, desperately absorbing nutrients, and they couldn't wait to suck this big tree dry.
If they are not uprooted, Da Chu may not be able to hold on for long.
The difference between Xiang Jingkun and other princes who were born and raised in the palace is that he has no relationship with these aristocratic families.
His mother died young, and no one knew who his mother's natal family was. He never had any brotherhood with the young masters of the aristocratic families, and he had no engagements with the ladies from the aristocratic families.
When he was born, the late crown prince was in great danger. He lived in the Zhenguo General's Mansion and grew up at the border.The person he came into contact with was a big boss. Not only did he not have a good impression of those aristocratic families, but he was also disgusted with them.
After all, when he was at the border, it was the aristocratic families who blocked their food and clothing.
Now, looking at the news on the documents that accused the slaves of the family and the branches of the family and killed people, Xiang Jingkun wrote with a stroke of a pen and dealt with them all in accordance with the law. He then ordered his generals to pay attention to the abnormal movements of the family, and if there were any abnormalities, they would be the first to catch them. Say it again.
He wanted to deal with the bad stuff from the Aristocratic Family first, and then prepare to attack the main body of the Aristocratic Family.
……
In Kyoto, Xiang Jingkun was sharpening his sword in the Xiang family. In Yang Luo city, Li Xinran finally found the person she wanted to wait for.
Li Xinran looked at the man in front of him with a sneer on his face, leaned back lazily, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I thought you weren't coming back. This has kept me waiting for a long time, Head Li."
Opposite Li Xinran was Li Mingchao, who was dressed in silk and satin and had a smiling face: "Whatever General Li says, our Li family will definitely follow General Li's lead."
Li Xinran chuckled: "Okay, then you can hand in the certificate of surrender first."
Liming Chao said quickly: "General, please speak."
"I'm going to your chamber of commerce meeting, an internal meeting."
