The deceased Nuo Lan never expected that the person she loved would die even more shamefully than her. After she died Duke Zizhi also entered into a grand wedding ceremony with the minister's daughter. After getting married He and his father-in-law worked together to do all kinds of evil deeds to collect money for the rebellion.
The Imperial Court is trying to find out why so many merchant families were killed and their property disappeared without a trace. After only three months, the Qin Province began to fall into disarray. Because many people have complained about being pressured to sell low-priced shops. Including the compulsion to buy products at low prices also occurs. They were only merchants and could not resist the powerful. So they gathered together to go to the capital to beat drums and express their complaints in front of the palace.
When the emperor knew about the matter He quickly ordered the protection of the merchants who came to complain. Worried that they would be killed and silenced first. He had just received news from the inspector that evidence of a conspiracy had been found in Yan City. But that evidence is traveling to the capital with someone you can trust. It was because the inspector hurriedly sent a messenger pigeon to inform him of the news first so that His Majesty could trust him. The emperor could only protect the innocent first.
I can't find it anymore if I end this story. The merchants definitely didn't have the heart to trade in the Qin Province again.
one month later Evidence of Prince Wu's rebellion was brought to the emperor. When His Majesty had read the report and carefully examined the various evidences, he issued an order for the Royal Guards along with the garrison soldiers in the capital to surround and capture the people in the Prince's Palace and the Chancellor's Mansion.
They were excited that their forces were almost ready and there was no news about the inspectors. They thought the inspector had been killed long ago. Who knew that today they would be deceived just four months after joining together? Both the royal guard and the garrison issued royal orders to the people of the capital to acknowledge their crimes. No one had ever thought that their actions would be known.
On the day that Duke Zizhi was dragged out of the palace He thought of the day Nuo Lan came to him. He had already asked her what the mission was but she had not answered him. Today he knew why she didn't answer. It was because she made a mistake in her mission and was unable to kill the person he wanted to die. But knowing now it's too late.
After arresting all the people including those who cooperated with the two groups. The emperor issued a royal decree that he would be executed for nine eternities in order to avoid being an example. Prince Wu and Duke Zizhi were separated by the Five Horses in the middle of the capital. After dying, they hung their heads for seven days at the gates of the capital. All of their corpses were dumped in the forest to be used as animal food. If anyone dares to take the corpses of these people for a ceremony, they will be guilty as well.
When this is over No one dared to challenge His Majesty's authority again until he abdicated in favor of his son, the heir to the throne. As for the regent, he received great merit. His family had bestowed the title of Hou, which they could inherit to their children. But Gongsun Jiu refused to marry until the end of her life. He passed the position on to his nephew, whom he trained instead.
