When the emperor heard that a guard had reported the matter, he temporarily put away his anger at the crown prince, and then ordered the guards waiting outside the palace to come in and report it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The guard came in and saluted, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, today the mage in the palace tried to persecute the divine beast, but he underestimated the ability of the divine beast, and was trampled to death by the divine beast, and ......"

After hearing the previous words, the emperor's anger, which had been reduced a little, instantly rose, he looked at the prince angrily with his eyes, and asked the guard, "And what!"

When the guard first came in, he didn't understand the situation, but according to the actual situation, he reported to the emperor, but halfway through the report, he seemed to find that the atmosphere of the court was a little unusual, so his voice gradually weakened, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

But after all, he still said that, and he also knew that this offense could not be stopped, so he emboldened himself and continued, "It turns out that the mage in the Tai womb is not a human, but a thousand-year-old poisonous insect, and he immediately turned into a prototype after being trampled to death by a divine beast. ”

The guards tried to control themselves as much as they could, allowing themselves to finish things as calmly as possible.

After saying that, the guard let out a long sigh, thinking that he had finally spoken.

The guard was also a smart man, and he cared more about the sin of bullying the king than offending the prince.

Doing things by the emperor's side can be said to be in response to that sentence, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

No one dared to say that he would live to be 100 years old in peace.

So it's a day to be able to live, and the current emperor is not a prince, so he can't think of what will happen in the future, and it's only serious to keep his current head first.

So between the crown prince and the emperor, he chose the latter.

When the prince heard the emperor say this, his face instantly turned pale, which was in stark contrast to Emperor Tie Qing's face at this moment.

The prince wondered how the mage could be a demon, looking at his usual conversation, he was quite upright, how could he not be that poisonous insect full of evil energy.

But now that the facts are in front of him, he always has a thousand doubts, and he has to recognize the facts in front of him.

"Father, the son is wronged, the son is ...... Erchen really doesn't know that he's a demon, Erchen doesn't know!"

It's okay that the prince didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, the emperor's angry gaze fell on him again.

"I don't know! You will only say that you don't know! As a prince, when something happens, you will only say that you don't know, a waste like you, if my country is handed over to you, it will not be trampled by you!"

Long Yan was furious, shocking the court, and in the huge palace, it was silent again.

In this sentence, the emperor can be said to not leave a trace of face for the prince, and scolded him to the fullest.

The crown prince looked at the emperor with fear in his eyes.

He feared that the emperor would depose him as prince.

People in the court, as long as they don't have a problem with their heads, can hear the meaning of the emperor's words.

Everyone didn't speak, but in their hearts, they were speculating that the emperor would not abolish the crown prince.

Just as everything fell silent, a voice broke the terrible silence.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report. ”

Everyone turned around to look, only to see that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward and knelt in front.

The emperor raised his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

The Ministry of Rites was approved, so he raised his head and said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as the crown prince is the prince of a country, and the future saint is responsible for the safety and survival of a country, and now seeing that the prince is so unrefined in state affairs, the minister begs that the position of the prince will be vacant now, and wait for the prince to be full-fledged before granting the position of prince." ”

What the Ministry of Rites said was reasonable, and it was impossible to refute it, but there was a strange look in the eyes of the ministers.

Su Jian looked at the scene at this moment and was a little puzzled.

Immediately after that, the emperor's words made Su Jian understand.

"Fang Aiqing, I know that you are the prince's person, so at this time, not only did you not help the prince say good things, but also pushed the prince into the water, I am really a little strange. ”

The emperor's words also rightly expressed the doubts in the hearts of the ministers, and everyone in the whole court knew that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was the prince's person, so his sudden exhortation made everyone a little stunned, and they couldn't figure out what he meant.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu listened to the emperor's question, his face was very indifferent, and he replied in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, you will be mistaken, the old minister is not the prince's person, the old minister is a person of the Long Dynasty, whoever can have the ability to inherit the country, the old minister will support him, but if he is not capable of inheriting, then the old minister will choose a virtuous person."

When an old man said such a thing, it really made people respect, and at the same time, he was convinced of his words.

But Su Jian didn't think that in her opinion, this white-haired ritual secretary should be Long Yu's person.

If you think about it a little, you can figure out how anyone can say this about their master.

But now, everyone was confused by the generous words of the Ministry of Rites, and Long Yu was very indifferent on weekdays, and he didn't like to compete with the princes, so even if people wanted to break their heads, they couldn't think that the Ministry of Rites was a person who was Long Yu, let alone thought that all this today was a conspiracy set up by Long Yu.

Su Jian looked at all this and felt more and more interesting.

I have to admit that this dragon is really too scheming.

Su Jian continued to stand aside and listen, wanting to see what the emperor would do.

The emperor still had anger on his face at this time, and he looked at the crown prince and did not speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

And at this moment, everyone present knew very well that the emperor was naturally thinking about whether to abolish the crown prince.

It's not too easy to guess about this matter, because after all, the emperor loves the prince very much, and he watched the prince grow up with his own eyes.

But on the other hand, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is the patriarch of the two dynasties, and it is difficult for the emperor not to be moved by what he says, and what he says is reasonable.

Once again, the court fell silent.

After a long time, the emperor spoke, "I think what Fang Aiqing said is very right, the prince must not be sloppy, so I decided to abolish the crown prince first, and let him devote himself to learning the way of governing the country, so that he can inherit the throne in the future." “

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince's face turned pale.

He couldn't accept this matter, and he was happy when he came, wanting to show himself in front of his father, but now he ended up being abolished as the crown prince.

All of this changed so fast that he couldn't slow it down.

He didn't understand why the good Moyu Pixiu had become an evil stone Pixiu, and why the Ministry of Rites, which had always supported him, finally said in front of his father that he was going to abolish him.
