Chapter 820: The Rebel Son (Wan Geng Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Thinking of this, Jiang Bingwei pinched the string of Buddhist beads on her left hand and stood up excitedly.
How long has it been since she has seen her son? Although she has never broken contact, in the past 20 years, she has only seen the two sides of Prince Hurry. My own blood and bones, how can I not want to?
Looking through the gap, I saw the prince coming in through the door, dressed in plain clothes and looking gloomy.
Jiang Bingwei's heart rose to her throat, what happened? Looking at his demeanor, it was clear that there was a decisive decision.
She calmed down and pondered the whole thing. If it is only the love of mother and son, you can reward the grace and make the prince go to Tailing openly, and there is no need to be so sneaky.
What you see in front of you reveals an unusual meaning.
Emperor Qinglong stopped reading, glanced at the prince kneeling in front of him, and asked, "I heard that you want to see me?"
The prince raised his body slightly, did not get up, and said: "The child knows that he is guilty, please ask his father to surrender his sin." ”
Emperor Qinglong looked at him and sighed slightly in his heart.
It's not that he didn't give the prince a chance, the prince made a wrong step. In the current situation, even if he does not depose the crown prince, the courtiers will not agree.
The two pieces of incriminating evidence presented by King Qi in the morning were enough to make the crown prince abolish several times. The king of Qi did not make the evidence of the crime public through the Yushitai, which already left room for turnaround.
Although Emperor Qinglong rebuked King Qi, he also understood it in his heart. If he continues to leave the recitals of the deposed prince unpublished, this new incriminating evidence will be revealed, and then the government and the opposition will be in an uproar, and the prince will lose all the hearts of the people.
Although Xie Xianling is a seven-rank petty official, under the cold lips and teeth, there is no official who is willing to accept a king who kills officials for personal gain.
Whether Emperor Qinglong is willing or not, the status of the crown prince has also come to an end!
Emperor Qinglong snorted coldly, threw down the music on the imperial case, and said, "See for yourself." ”
The prince picked up the chapter, read it anxiously, didn't dare to get up, and said: "Father, the son deserves death!"
Watching the situation develop, Jiang Bingwei clenched her palms tightly behind her, not even knowing that her nails were deeply embedded in the soft flesh between her palms.
Could it be that the prince made a big mistake, and the emperor wants to abolish the prince?
Thinking like this in her heart, she guessed Emperor Qinglong's intentions. Could it be that he let himself see the prince for the last time? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was very likely.
Biting her lip, she made up her mind. If the emperor really had this intention, she would rush to the front regardless of the rules, and exchange her former affection for the prince's status as the prince.
If the crown prince is deposed, the king of Qi born to Queen Cao has the title of the eldest concubine, and he can naturally become the crown prince. How could she make Empress Cao proud!
"Father. The sons knew that they were guilty of a lot of sins, and they did not dare to ask for forgiveness, so they asked their father to surrender their sins and depose the title of prince of the sons and sons. ”
The prince knelt on the ground, buried his head, raised his hands high, and presented a recital.
Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows, which was somewhat unexpected by him. The prince is willing to take the initiative to abdicate, proving that he can still see the situation clearly in his heart and know what is wrong.
"Present it. ”
Wu Guangqi bowed down to take the prince's plea and placed it in front of Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong opened it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the words were full of repentance, and he confessed his mistakes with emotion.
"I knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Emperor Qinglong sighed, looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart evoked the past father-son affection, "Xian'er, you can keep you safe even if you don't become a prince." ”
The prince was lying on the ground, and the room was warm, but the temperature of the open bricks laid on the ground was still very low.
He pressed his face against the open bricks, and this temperature helped him stay calm. Concentrating on adjusting his breathing, Emperor Qinglong's words blew like the wind in his ears, and he was quietly waiting for the timing of the poison.
"Xian'er, get up, let your father ...... Well, look...... Look at you......"
This sentence was said intermittently, and Emperor Qinglong couldn't stop coughing, and finally with a "poof", a mouth full of black blood spurted out.
The prince got up slowly, and his narrow peach blossom eyes were full of coldness and cruelty.
"Father, take a few more looks, you won't be able to see it in the future. ”
Wu Guangqi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Qinglong, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
There were no guards in the imperial study, and in an instant, a shadow guard appeared from the layers of curtains, guarding in front of Emperor Qinglong with a sword.
Emperor Qinglong's face was full of grief and indignation, and he pointed at the prince's fingers and couldn't help trembling: "You...... You rebel!" Now, how can he not know that the prince poisoned the chapter.
Spelling out all his strength and shouting out this sentence, Emperor Qinglong fell into Wu Guangqi's arms in a dejected manner.
The crown prince chuckled lowly, his handsome face was a little distorted, and his eyes were jumping with crazy ambition: "Father, you are tired, you should rest." ”
"This poison is only available to me, and your father, you quickly issued an edict of abdication to give way to me. I'll have someone send the antidote, and you can be the emperor with peace of mind!"
"Father, if you don't become the emperor, Xian'er can keep you safe. The crown prince returned this sentence to Emperor Qinglong as it was, and his heart was extremely comfortable.
He lied, and Lin Xingchao did not provide an antidote when he gave him the poison. He only said that after being poisoned, he would die in three days. These three days were left to him to move.
If Emperor Qinglong dies all of a sudden, it is not impossible for the palace guards to hack the prince to death in a fit of anger.
Only if he is still alive can he continue to order.
Wu Guangqi trembled with anger, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The emperor loves you so much, you actually did such a thing! How dare you?"
The crown prince sneered and asked, "How dare I? Did he treat me as a son? Locked my mother in the temple for decades, so that my brother and I had no mother to rely on!"
"My brother is dead, and now he wants to abolish my position as the crown prince! This is called loving me?" the prince raised his head and laughed three times, "ridiculous!"
Emperor Qinglong leaned on Wu Guangqi's arms, and after listening to such rebellious words, his chest continued to rise and fall, and he couldn't breathe for a while. The shadow guard didn't get his order, but only stood in front of him with his sword, staring at the prince.
"Are you wondering why the guards outside haven't come in yet?" said the prince, smiling grimly, "It's useless to stall for time, they won't come in." ”
He entered the palace as a crown prince, and it was normal to bring some guards with him. It's just that the guards he brought today are all good hands in the rivers and lakes prepared for him by Lin Xingchao, and they can be ten.
He entered the imperial study, and the guards who remained outside also attacked at the same time.
Although there were many guards at the door, no one would have thought that the prince would dare to assassinate the emperor in the imperial study in the imperial study.
Caught off guard, the guards guarding outside fell one after another. The prince's men surrounded this Xuanzheng palace and held the Son of Heaven hostage.
The Long Wu Army and the Yulin Army in the palace discovered the abnormal movement and surrounded the Xuanzheng Palace. Swords, guns, swords, and halberds shimmered in the cold light of the dusk sunset.
