As soon as the rumors of the abolition of the crown prince came out, all the officials in the court couldn't sit still.

At first, it was only the officials of Wei Xiang's lineage who couldn't sit still.

If the crown prince is deposed, then their years of hard work will be in vain. And judging from the current situation, the crown prince was deposed, and the person on the throne would only be the fifth prince, the son of Concubine Liu Shu.

The five princes ascended the throne, and what awaited them was that there was no other way but a dead end.

The officials of Wei Xiang's line began to run between the various mansions.

They have to protect the crown prince no matter what, even if it is delayed, they will drag it out until the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne.

The actions of the officials of Wei Xiangyi also made the officials of Liu Xiangyi also feel the crisis.

People in Liu Xiang's line believe that the emperor wants to leave Beijing to recuperate, that is, the disease is out of control. Otherwise, with the emperor's strong temperament, he will not let go of the major affairs of the court and the central government no matter what.

They were afraid that the emperor would die and did not abolish the crown prince, if this was the case, then wouldn't they be empty.

The officials of Liu Xiang's lineage did not care about the taboos of the emperor, and they also became active.

They want to make the emperor make up his mind to abolish the crown prince, even if they don't canonize the crown prince, they can't let the queen's son sit on the throne of the crown prince.

King Qing looked at the officials running around and was furious. Nowadays, except for the household department, I am afraid that there is no place to stop.

He suddenly discovered that it was right to hand over the household department to Dong Wende. At least to this day, Dong Wende is still conscientiously looking at the household department and the household officials, and they are not allowed to participate in the matter of establishing the reserve.

What's more, at this moment, whether it is Liu Xiang's people or Wei Xiang's people, there is no party to win over Dong Wende. Even the other officials of the household department, they did not dare to blatantly woo them. They are very afraid of Dong Wende.

Anyone who harassed Dong Wende and his subordinate officials before had an accident.

The crimes they committed were very uniform, either corruption and irregularities, or forming a party for personal gain. Of course, there are also those that are so seamless that people can't grasp the handle. But this is how shameless the people behind Dong Wende are.

Seeing that they could not find any substantive evidence, those people changed direction and looked directly for the relatives of the officials involved.

Acknowledging that you have great ability, you cannot guarantee that your slaves will not do evil behind your back, or that the children of your clan will not rely on your reputation to disregard people's lives in their hometown.

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. After a long time, which one dares to find himself boring. As for what 'the way of others, but also the body of others', this is absolutely to Dong Wende.

He was expelled from the Dong family, and the Dong family rebelled, and it had nothing to do with him.

As for the Chen family, unless the Chen family really rebelled, if you want to use the Chen family to implicate Dong Wende, isn't it uncomfortable.

It would be terrible for a scholar to get out of his mind.

King Qing looked at the sky and thought that it would be better to enter the palace to explore the emperor's tone.

***

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor and the acting king chatted about family life, talking about what happened when the emperor was alive. As they talked, they talked about many people, and finally talked about Dong Ruyi.

The acting king exclaimed, "My brother has forgotten something important. ”

He said and took out a piece of paper, "This is Ruyi asked my brother to transfer it to the imperial brother." ”

The emperor was puzzled, "What do you have to hand over?" he said, opening the paper, and then fell silent.

The acting king said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, what is this?"

The emperor accepted the paper and explained: "This is the list of candidates for the entourage drawn up by me and Ruyi. ”

In fact, the emperor did not ask Dong Ruyi to draw up a list of personnel. This matter has to start with a group of officials running around.

Although the emperor is recuperating in the palace, he is not blind or deaf.

At first, he just wanted to test Dong Ruyi's meaning, after all, the attitude of the richest man in Da Zhou is related to the future economy of Da Zhou.

To say that Dong Ruyi supports the prince, but they have no contact.

Jingzhao has dealings with Dong Ruyi, except for the other two princes' mansions, only the Dong family and the An family remain.

He has been a brother with King Qing for many years, and he knows that King Qing advocates the establishment of a successor.

But the Liu family is different from the past, the mother is expensive by the son, and the son is expensive by the mother, which is normal.

Fortunately, the other three, including Dong Wende, all have a clear attitude. They remain neutral, and whoever becomes the emperor, they assist.

So he wanted to hear Dong Ruyi's thoughts, but he didn't expect that Dong Ruyi would give him such an ambiguous answer.

The emperor put away the list, "I heard that the emperor's brother moved back to the old palace?"

The acting king said embarrassedly: "How can the imperial brother even know this?"

The emperor said: "If you are afraid of that girl and let people sell it, why bother to move away yourself?"

The acting king hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, Ruyi can be nervous about that girl." What's more, the younger brother thought that it would be better to live separately, and it would save them from having a new princess in the house in the future, and they would be at odds again. ”

The emperor nodded, "What the emperor said is also right, just Ruyi's worth, if you can't keep it, you have crooked thoughts." ”

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that Ruyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, think about Huo Baorou's fate, it is right for the king to move back.

The emperor said: "Hey, the emperor's brother has someone chosen?"

The acting king was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, the imperial brother is not good to talk nonsense." ”

For a while, his mind was full of Xianglan's beautiful face, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, and he would go to Ruyi again, so he would stay in the palace and not leave.

Just two days ago, he saw a woman in the palace with eyebrows and eyes slightly like pandans. It's a pity that it doesn't look like a palace maid, in this deep palace, it's a palace maid, and that's not something he can think about, so this matter is over.

The emperor saw that the acting king was reluctant to say more, so he didn't ask again.

Zhang Fuhai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Qing has arrived." ”

The emperor said: "Let him come in, I mentioned him to the acting king just now." ”

Zhang Fuhai shouted: "King Chuanqing." ”

King Qing walked in, and he saluted, "Brother has seen Brother Huang. ”

The emperor said: "Brother Qing is here, but what's the big deal?"

King Qing said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to the imperial brother before he leaves Beijing." ”

He looked at the emperor, whose complexion had improved slightly, and he couldn't open his mouth about the things of the previous dynasty no matter what.

The emperor said: "You!"

As he spoke, he took out the list of people who were traveling, then added a few words to it and handed it to King Qing.

King Qing took it, "What is this?" On this paper, not only did it say the acting king, but also the queen's mother and son.

And in the end, the three words Ruyi Hou were just filled in by the emperor.

"This is the list of people who accompanied me. The emperor's voice fell, and King Qing stood directly on the spot.

King Qing said in his heart: "The emperor actually wants to take the queen and the prince to leave Beijing together?"
