Chunyu Qing had gone crazy, this was what everyone thought at this moment, even Xuan Tianming felt that this woman must have gone crazy. He remembered the report he heard from the spies when they were setting up camp outside the city, saying that there were tens of thousands of women in Zong Sui's capital who formed a group for revenge, just to take revenge for his Seventh Brother. That sort of feeling of having never even met someone, yet being so affectionate was something that he was unable to empathize with. Even if Feng Yu Heng happily told him about the complex of idols, he still could not understand the mentality of those women.
Looking at Chunyu Qing in front of him, Xuan Tianming instantly understood, this Empress was also an admirer that his Seventh Brother had never met? His Seventh Brother was really popular in Zong Sui! If Zong Sui did not fall and this Empress was allowed to continue developing, would she become another Yu Qianyin?
He shook his head as he thought, telling Chunyu Qing with an icy voice: "He died, he died in your Tong City's minefield. And that minefield was planted by Duanmu Anguo under Li Jian's instructions, as for Duanmu Anguo, you should be clear on how he obtained Li Jian's trust so quickly in Zong Sui, right? "
Xuan Tianming's words reminded Chunyu Qing, why was Duanmu Anguo so trusted by Li Jian? In this, her father Chunyu An's contributions could not go unnoticed! Back then, Chunyu An and Duanmu Anguo worked together to push Li Jian up the throne, the Chunyu family even married her elder sister Chunyu Ling to Bu Cong who was hiding in the General's Manor to win over Duanmu Anguo, just because that Bu Cong was old acquaintances with Duanmu Anguo when they were in Dashun. Thinking about it now, the Chunyu family could not escape responsibility for this tragedy, and the people she cared about could be considered to have died indirectly in the hands of the Chunyu family.
Chunyu Qing could not accept this fact, suddenly letting out a scream, when she stopped, she became muddle-headed, no longer as clear as before. She even treated her father as the old thief Duanmu Anguo, shouting and wanting to pounce over to fight with her life. This made Xuan Tianming recall the farce between his Eighth Brother, Xuantian Mo, and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui back in the Dashun Imperial Palace. For the sake of power, was it worth it to end up killing one's own flesh and blood?
Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer. What you thought was worthless might be a treasure in the eyes of others. The throne that he didn't care about was something that others would fight for even if they had to kill each other to get their hands on.
In the end, the Chunyu family couldn't escape death. Regardless of whether they participated in the coup or not, the question that Xuan Tianming asked was enough to sentence them to death — "I heard that your daughter and son-in-law went to Dashun to bully I's wife?" With this sentence, everyone knew that the Chunyu family was doomed.
The battle that had lasted for more than half a year had finally come to an end. Those who were killed and those who were left alive had been tormented for a full three days. Three days later, the citizens spontaneously picked up cleaning tools and buckets of clean water and walked onto the streets, cleaning up the bloodstains brought about by the battle.
Dashun took over the capital and changed the name to Sui City, it was considered to be a memorial to the past. All the cities east of the capital automatically surrendered following the fall of the capital. Xuan Tianming's army did not withdraw and he was temporarily managing this piece of land personally. At the same time, he sent a letter back to Dashun's capital, asking the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, to immediately find various reliable people to head to the original Zong Sui territory and take over all the cities.
Zong Sui won the great battle. At this moment, in Dashun's capital, there was a strange power that was secretly rising among the citizens. Some people said that the Eighth Prince who had already died a long time ago had actually come back to life. He even gathered the troops that he had previously scattered among the citizens and was prepared to counterattack at any time, wanting to take back the throne that belonged to him from the Sixth Prince.
People recalled that some time ago, there was a rumor that the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, did not die at all. Back then, Dashun mysteriously found a faceless person to bury him, insisting that the Eighth Prince was already dead. At that time, people did not suspect him, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was not right. In addition, there were people who said that their family's new grave had been secretly dug up in the middle of the night and the corpse inside was stolen. The time coincided with the day of the Eighth Prince's burial. This led to many people's guesses. In addition, there were people who intentionally spread rumors among the citizens, guiding the direction of the topic, causing more and more people to become suspicious of the Eighth Prince's death. There were even more people who believed that the Eighth Prince really did not die and only ran away. And in order to not cause panic, the Dashun imperial family panicked and claimed that he was already dead.
Of course, regardless of whether the Eighth Prince was dead or not, other than having more topics to talk about after meals, it did not have much of an impact on their lives. After all, even if he was still alive, based on the many unbearable things he had done in the past, that person no longer had much to do with the throne. A prince who had nothing to do with the throne was just an idle prince. The only difference between him and the citizens was whether he had money or not, and he would not be able to affect the country's affairs.
But that was in the past, it was different now. Now, that group of people who rose up secretly among the citizens not only raised the banner of the Eighth Prince, they even reported back the situation of the Dashun army's battle in Zong Sui. They said that in this battle between Dashun and Zong Sui, the Seventh Prince died. In order to take revenge for the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming massacred Jiancheng City. Then when attacking Tong City, he used the heavenly lightning of the Royal Consort Yu to blow up the entire Tong City. Two cities, hundreds of thousands of people died. The Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming was truly the Ninth King of Hell. Not only did he want to kill the enemy, he even wanted to kill the citizens. So many women, old people, and children had died under his hands. The entire Overlook City, over three hundred thousand people, not a single one had managed to escape. They had all been killed by him. It was simply inhumane and inhumane!
"Even though Zong Sui is an enemy country, but the Ninth Prince massacred three hundred thousand citizens of the city, this is too terrifying. He does not have any love for the citizens, how can this kind of person rule the world? How can this kind of person be allowed to rule Dashun? If Dashun has this kind of person as the Emperor, then all the citizens will be on tenterhooks all day, the citizens who died in Zong Sui's Jiancheng City will turn into vengeful spirits, coming to Dashun to claim their lives. "
There were more and more rumours, making this Xuan Tianming sound like an evil spirit. But there were also people who said: "Right now, it is the Sixth Prince who is supervising the country, the imperial court has never said that the Ninth Prince will succeed the throne. From the looks of it now, the possibility of the Sixth Prince succeeding the throne is very high, so no matter how terrifying the Ninth Prince is, it has nothing to do with us!"
There were immediately people who objected to this saying, the person who objected said: "Who said that the Sixth Prince will definitely succeed the throne? In my opinion, the Sixth Prince is only supervising the country temporarily, that throne will definitely be left for the Ninth Prince. Not based on anything else, just based on how much the current Emperor dotes on Consort Yun, the Ninth Prince will definitely not be an ordinary prince. Among these princes now, which one has outstanding military achievements? Isn't it still the Ninth Prince? What did the Sixth Prince do, other than writing books, he only writes books, how can he be a good Emperor? But speaking of which, a person who massacred hundreds of thousands of citizens, if this kind of person becomes the Emperor, can we be at ease? "
Actually, the citizens' support for the Ninth Prince was quite high, what massacring a city, he massacred the enemy country's city, not Dashun's city. Being kind to the enemy was being cruel to oneself, they were very clear on this point.
But people's hearts were like this, some people could stand firm and stick to their own views, some people were more easily swayed, easily following other people's train of thought. Now, it was obvious that someone was stirring up trouble among the citizens, maliciously spreading incorrect opinions, but there were people who were incited to the point that they started to have a strong sense of rejection towards Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng, and under the instigation of some people, many citizens even rushed to Hundred Herb Hall to cause trouble, saying that they wanted Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng to pay with their lives for killing people.
The unrest among the citizens reached the ears of the princes, and the princes all laughed in anger, paying with their lives for killing people? Paying with the lives of Zong Sui's people? Two countries were at war, and the victorious side had to pay with their lives for the defeated side? This was even brought up by the citizens of the victorious side, this was not reasonable no matter where it was placed! Not to mention that the massacring of the city was not what the people imagined, even if it was, so what? That was a damn war! Was there any need to talk about civility on the battlefield? Their Ninth Brother was already very benevolent, the disappearance of the massacring and bombing of the city had long been reported back to Dashun, and the Dashun Imperial Family had also posted a notice to tell the people what had happened, but there were people who did not believe the official words, and insisted on believing the people. They wanted to ask Hundred Herb Hall, could the two diseases of being easily swayed be cured?
More and more people started to stir up trouble among the citizens, and this uproar spread from the capital to the other provinces. Very quickly, it seemed that the whole world knew. They kept spreading how scary the Ninth Prince was, how scary Feng Yu Heng was, saying that husband and wife were carrying out a huge conspiracy, that Feng Yu Heng built Hundred Herb Hall to control the hearts of the people, to prepare for her husband's ascension to the throne in the future.
Also, the Eighth Prince was clearly not dead, but they insisted that he was dead. Back then, there was no such thing as bewitching the Emperor, those were all made up by the Ninth Prince, because his Imperial Concubine Mother lost favour and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui gained favour, he was afraid that the Eighth Prince would snatch away his future throne, so he used all sorts of despicable methods to inhumanely suppress the Eighth Prince.
Gradually, the citizens were divided into two factions, one faction continued to support the Ninth Prince, and the other faction did not have a firm will and went to believe the Eighth Prince after being incited by malicious intentions. These two factions coexisted, to the point that when people walked on the streets, they would start scolding each other if they did not agree, and even fight, causing a headache for the local officials. The officials all sighed, this Eighth Prince was really a centipede that refused to fall over even after being dead.
At this moment, in the court of Dashun, Emperor Tianwu sat on the dragon throne again, the Sixth Prince accompanied him by his side, standing respectfully. The officials below held their breaths, and a portion of them did not even dare to raise their heads.
The old Emperor had not attended court for too long, the last time he came to court, it was because someone bullied the Sixth Prince, and he came to support his son. And this time, there were well-informed people who knew that the old Emperor was provoked by Consort Yun in Yao Manor and wanted to return to court to reorganize the court. And recently, because of the sudden appearance of the Eighth Prince among the citizens, the court was in chaos, many people were suspicious of the Eighth Prince's death back then, analyzing the rumours from the outside world all night and night, analyzing and analyzing, the conclusion they reached was — — what he said made sense!
