Wu Sheng's voice was a little stern, but the imperial historians were grateful, and they helped them to get up left and right as if they had been amnestied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Looking at the imperial historians who were gradually dispersing, Wu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He also heard about what happened to the prince on this day. This time, the waves have become a bit bigger, and it seems that the battle for succession has surfaced.

……

In the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong's eyes were like knives, and he slowly swept over the two kings of Qi and Chu who were standing below.

King Qi was frank and open, and he didn't have any weakness in his heart.

King Chu's expression was a little puzzled, suddenly what was going on? After thinking about it, he asked, "Father, what happened?"

Emperor Qinglong smiled coldly and asked, "You don't know, or do you deliberately deceive Yu Zhen?"

As soon as he drank it, the king of Qi and the king of Chu knelt down, and the king of Qi said: "I don't know what my son has done wrong, please make it clear to my father." ”

"At this moment, the imperial history outside the Duanmen gathered to impeach the prince and abolish the prince!" Emperor Qinglong said slowly.

"What?" the two looked stunned.

Emperor Qinglong stared at the two of them tightly, not letting go of any expression on their faces. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze.

Look at their performance, it's only now that I suddenly heard about it. Moreover, the expression does not seem to be fake.

King Qi asked, "Why is this?"

"Rise first. I summoned Dr. Zhu in, and I found out why I asked. ”

A moment later, Zhu Guangcheng wiped his sweat at the door before stepping in. He bowed to the ground and said, "Weichen has seen His Majesty the Emperor, the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Chu. ”

"Get up and talk back. Emperor Qinglong said lightly: "From beginning to end, tell it again." ”

"Yes. Zhu Guangcheng got up with some difficulty, and his knees were still hurting when he knelt in front of the end door.

Looking at him, Emperor Qinglong glanced at Wu Guangqi, who hurriedly brought a spring stool and wanted to help him sit down.

Zhu Guangcheng hurriedly let him go, and arched his hand: "The emperor is sympathetic to Weichen, but Weichen is guilty, so it's better to stand and reply." ”

Emperor Qinglong is not reluctant, the imperial history has made such a fuss in front of this end of the door, he is in charge of the imperial history platform, and naturally has the responsibility of poor control.

"Back to the emperor, last night, all the imperial historians received submissions. The evidence of the prince's guilt in the book is vivid, and the Weichen family has also received it. Zhu Guangcheng couldn't care about the sweat dripping down his forehead, and said: "Weichen knows that something is wrong, as soon as the door opens, he rushes to the end door." Sure enough, I saw that all the imperial histories had arrived. Wechen tried his best to dissuade him, and he made it clear that there was something strange about it. ”

However, the crowd was passionate. Wechen was incompetent and failed to stop it. After that, he took off the black yarn and knelt on the ground: "Please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him, but did not speak, nor did he call out. Reached out and took the impeachment chapter in Wu Guangqi's hand and quickly browsed it.

Zhu Guangcheng knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy. The emperor has a calm temperament, and such a performance is already extremely angry, and I don't know how to punish him.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu didn't dare to come out, and for a while, the needles in the imperial study could be heard.

The look on Emperor Qinglong's face became more and more ugly, and there were more than ten cases of the prince's crimes. These piles seem to be unrelated, but most of them have something in common, that is, they are all for the purpose of collecting money.

Buying and selling officials is to collect bribes, forcibly occupy other people's property for money, as the dignified prince of the Gaomang Dynasty, what is he so unscrupulous in accumulating wealth? !

There was anger in his eyes, and with a sound of "bang!", Emperor Qinglong's fist hit the bookcase, shaking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

", Yushitai, Dali Temple, and Zongren Mansion jointly tried the case. ”

Wu Guangqi responded, drafted a holy decree, and Emperor Qinglong covered it with a jade seal. Wu Guangqi held the decree in his hand and went everywhere to announce the decree.

"As the prefect of the Imperial History Observatory, I wish the doctor to allow the Imperial History Assembly to be fined for one year to see the after-effects. He Yushi and Bai Yushi took the lead in making trouble and were fined for two years. ”

Hearing this condemnation, Zhu Guangcheng's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. Punishment is the lightest punishment.

He was covered in a cold sweat and exited the imperial study and went straight to the imperial history platform. Since the emperor has ordered the three ministries to try the case together, the evidence in the possession of the imperial history must be sorted out as soon as possible and handed over to the other two ministries for trial.

King Qi took a step forward and said, "Father, these are just one-sided words, and the imperial brother may not be guilty. Do you want to invite the imperial brother to come here and listen to his defense?"

Emperor Qinglong looked at King Qi with a calm face, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and waved his hand: "No need, let's check it first." You all go to Baolin Garden to accompany the Queen Mother, I want to be quiet. ”

King Qi is naturally calm, all of this is the handiwork of Princess Zhaoyang. He only knew that Princess Zhaoyang had recently sorted out and summarized the evidence she had in the past, and she was about to attack.

But he didn't know how to make trouble, what resources to use, and when to do so. Only in this way can his reaction be real enough to hide from Emperor Qinglong's eyes.

Sure enough, Emperor Qinglong was no longer suspicious of him.

……

In the past few days, the prince has had one accident after another, even a fool knows that someone is making trouble, let alone Emperor Qinglong?

It's just that what the prince did really made him a little sad and angry.

In vain, he always thought that he loved this son the most and knew him best. But when this dark curtain was revealed, the truth of the facts made him dumbfounded.

After the rebellion of King Qianyang, he assassinated a large number of officials in Jiangnan Province. According to the statement, most of these vacant positions were sold by the crown prince for a thousand taels of gold, and most of these positions were the parents of the shepherd.

Emperor Qinglong clenched his fists, Jiangnan was rich, and it was the most stable source of taxes for the imperial court. These people have bought official positions with a lot of money, what will they do? You can figure it out with your toes.

The crown prince, the prince of the country, is he qualified?!

He only has self-interest in his eyes, and he released a batch of moths to Jiangnan Province, is this to force the people to rebel?

Anger was brewing in his eyes, and the King of Qianyang and the crown prince were compatriots, so he had to think a little more about the causal relationship between the assassination of officials by King Qianyang and the sale of officials by the prince. If this is the case, the prince will not know about the rebellion of the king of Qianyang?

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they begin to take root.

Now it is just a bud, and in time, it will grow into a towering tree that crushes the prince.

Emperor Qinglong slowly calmed down, and he knew in his heart that sooner or later, he would hand over this empire to his descendants.

But he's not old yet!

The prince wantonly amassed wealth under his nose, planted people's hands, and bought people's hearts. I can't wait to get involved in the affairs of the court. This made him feel that his authority was being challenged.

The absolute control of power at this time far exceeded Emperor Qinglong's love for his son.

Also, who is the person behind the scenes?

Emperor Qinglong narrowed his eyes slightly, no matter who it was, he didn't want to escape his eyes. Hiding in the shadows and making waves, thinking that it will be safe? It's naïve!
