Chapter 059: The Crown Prince is deposed
The Son of Heaven was furious, waved his hand, and threw a silk silk to the ground: "In black and white, this rebel is bold enough to write such a rebellious word, what else can he say?" ”
What did the prince write? Just as the ministers looked at each other in confusion, King Qinghe picked up the handwritten letter and read: "Your Majesty should be yourself." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I can't help myself, I should be in. The middle palace should be quick again. No, I'll do it. And the Xie family and the East Palace Sheren concurrently, the matter was completed, when Jiang was the master, Daowen was the prince. Don't doubt it! ”
Although this handwriting is vaguely written, the general meaning is very clear: Your Majesty should abdicate immediately, if you don't abdicate, I will abolish you, the queen should kill herself immediately, if you don't kill yourself, I will finish you, and then you should be appointed as the queen, and her son Daowen is the prince.
Such a rebellious remark was actually written by the prince?
"My aunt misses the love of father and son, and I don't want the ugliness of my family to be publicized, and the prince deserves to die, what do you think?" The Son of Heaven said angrily.
It is a big crime to rebel in the East Palace, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the East Palace, and as the eldest son of Emperor Wu's most favored, Liu Ju was framed because of the witch rebellion and was killed unjustly, and he was even charged with the crime of the prince.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a generation of masters, can also do such a foolish thing, when today's son is even more ignorant, has been completely confused by the Jia family, if someone comes out to speak for the prince at this time, I am afraid that he will also end up with the same rebellion as the prince.
It is because none of the ministers and ministers in the palace dare to speak for the prince, even if there are ministers who have a deep friendship with the prince, they dare not say a word because they are afraid of the power of Empress Jia.
At this moment, Zhang Hua stepped forward again and said bitterly: "The old minister has something to say, Your Majesty still remembers the matter of Liu Ju, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was mentioned to His Majesty. ”
"The crown prince is the only son of His Majesty, and when the first emperor was alive, he said, I will be a great Jin person who will be Shamen, and now you want to execute your only son, poor prince has been wronged by this strange injustice, and he can't tell the difference, if Your Majesty unjustly kills the prince, after a hundred years, what face will you have to see the first emperor underground?"
"Shut up, that rebel is already too drunk to wake up now, if not, how could this handwritten book be picked up by the palace attendants, how can he be wronged?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to ask for the original book and compare the prince's handwriting!"
Zhang Hua is ranked as the third duke, Delong Wangzun, when Emperor Wu was alive, he made his assistant when he was the son of today, Taifu Yang Jun judged chaos, Zhang Hua is also indispensable, the world has a saying, in the case of the brutal and brutal ravages of the Jia family's power, the world can have nine years of stability, all because of Zhang Hua's work.
Zhang Hua was originally promoted by Jia Hou and Lu Guogong to get today's status, but at this time he was able to stand up for the prince, and for a while, the ministers who stood on the side of the prince among the ministers had the courage and stood up to second.
As a result, the prince's handwriting was passed in the hands of every minister under the ranks, and what was amazing and desperate was that under comparison, it was really no different from the prince's handwriting.
Everyone was suddenly cold and speechless.
Zhang Hua burst into tears, but still insisted on admonishing: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, every time you depose the Zhengyan, it will inevitably lead to a rebellion, not to mention that I have not owned the world for a long time in the Great Jin, and I hope Your Majesty will consider this matter carefully!" ”
At this time, Pei Yi also stood up and said: "The minister has a word, Your Majesty, the prince has been smart since he was a child, how could he be so stupid to write the words of rebellion on the paper in black and white, and deliberately fell into the hands of the palace people, this matter must be someone to frame the prince, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the prince's party immediately stood up and seconded the proposal.
At this time, Jia Mi, the Duke of Lu, walked in from outside the palace and said solemnly: "The East Palace conspired against his father and killed his father, which was the misfortune of the country, His Majesty summoned the princes here to discuss this matter, and the rebellion will never only involve Liao Liao and a few people, if you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, you should try your best to help the Son of Heaven to check the rest of the party, in order to return the peace of the country, do you think what I said is reasonable?" ”
After speaking, he also deliberately looked at Wang Yan, who was standing aside with a pale face and did not say a word, and asked with a smile: "Wang Shangshu, what do you say?" ”
Wang Yan is not only the father-in-law of Lu Guogong, but also the father of the crown princess, Jia Mi's question is to force him to choose his position quickly.
And Wang Yan really knew each other, immediately took off his official hat and knelt down, banged on the ground and knocked his head several times, without saying a word, everyone's hearts suddenly cooled by more than half, Wang Yan was a famous man of the dynasty, and the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty all looked forward to him and Zhang Huama, but at the critical moment, this famous man of the Langya Wang family chose to avoid and escape all responsibility.
At this moment, Le Guang hurried in from outside the hall, and also took the handbook for comparison, and then immediately went up and said: "Your Majesty, please let Rong Chen risk death, although this handwriting is out of the hands of the prince is undoubted, but look carefully at the light, you will find that there are traces of digging and repairing, the minister dared to guess, this handwritten letter must have been written by the prince when he was drunk, and then modified by someone, and there is no shortage of capable people in my Great Jin Dynasty who copy other people's handwriting, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it and return the prince's innocence!" ”
When Jia Mi saw Le Yanfu, he frowned, and at this time, the palace was in an uproar, and many ministers had already stood up and seconded the proposal: "The minister agrees with what the people of Le She said, and I implore Your Majesty to invite a famous calligrapher to investigate it carefully, and the truth will be seen immediately!" ”
Jiang Tong, the prince's servant, was even more heartbroken: "The minister has followed the prince for a long time, and he knows that the prince is a human being, and he will never do such a thing to kill the king and usurp the throne, this matter must be that the prince has fallen into the trap of others, and I implore Your Majesty to be aware of everything, and must not unjustly kill the prince, with regret and hatred!" ”
For a while, the two parties in the hall were opposed, and they argued fiercely, just when the prince's party was about to see hope, suddenly, a voice came from behind the curtain, and said sharply: "The prince not only wants to kill the king with his ministers, but also wants to kill his father with his son, this matter is not only related to the ministers, but also the affairs of His Majesty's family, the famous religion is based on filial piety, just with the crime of killing the father by the son, the prince is guilty of a capital crime, what reason does the prince have to defend the prince?" ”
Everyone saw a woman who was five short and three thick came out from behind the curtain, although she was not tall, her complexion was not white, and she was definitely not beautiful, but there was a terrifying fierceness between the eyebrows of this woman.
When Emperor Wu chose a concubine for the crown prince, it was difficult for everyone to imagine that such an ugly woman would become the mother of a country in the future, but this ugly woman was even more of an awe-inspiring and fearful existence.
As soon as she appeared, many ministers had already lowered their heads suddenly, and listened to her: "Your Majesty, such a big matter, the concubine is deeply worried about Your Majesty, so she has no time to avoid it, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" The concubine thinks that since it is a family matter of His Majesty, it should be decided by His Majesty himself, and he must not listen to the words of the villain! ”
The Son of Heaven also looked at her in awe, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is my family's business, what does the queen think?" ”
The queen didn't blink, turned around and looked at the ministers in the palace, and said sharply: "The matter is resolved quickly, and the monarch and the minister are different, the son kills the father, and the share should be given death, if there is a person who does not obey the edict, it is appropriate to engage in military law!" ”
It means that the prince will still be killed, and if someone still does not obey the edict, he will be punished with the same crime as the prince!
This is already a threat under Empress Jia's obscenity!
Under the horror of the ministers, they didn't dare to speak, Zhang Hua still said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the life of the prince of the country, how can it be regarded as a family matter of Your Majesty, since it is a family matter, why should it be dealt with by military law, what is the reason?" ”
Zhang Hua repeatedly argued that the Son of Heaven was already displeased, and Empress Jia's face darkened, full of anger.
The Son of Heaven saw that the queen was unhappy, and he also clapped his hand, and said angrily: "Old horseman, you have repeatedly contradicted me, I remember that you are old and meritorious to the country, so I will not care about you, this matter has been decided, don't mention it again in the future, if you dare to say more, don't blame me for being punished by military law!" ”
"I'm tired, retreat!"
With a wave of the sleeves of the Son of Heaven's robe, he was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, the voice of the eunuch outside the door announced: "Your Majesty, the general of the cavalry asks to see you!" ”
Hearing this report, Jia Mi and the queen's faces suddenly sank together.
The prince's rebellion did not let Wang Ji know, and these ministers were also called over temporarily to discuss matters, what did Wang Ji do at this time?
Wang Ji was still dressed in a military uniform and a long robe, because of his tall stature and lofty spirit, the momentum of dominating the battlefield suppressed the momentum of many people in the palace.
"Is General Xiaocai also here to intercede for the crown prince?" Jia Mi preemptively asked, "General Xiaocai is really well-informed!" ”
Wang Ji smiled, turned to face the Son of Heaven, and said, "The minister does not dare to discuss His Majesty's family affairs, but the minister has a letter to ask His Majesty to take a look!" ”
After that, he handed over a silk silk to the eunuch and handed it over.
When the letter was unfolded in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the content of the letter fell into the eyes of Empress Jia, and I saw that it was a sentence written in Wang Wuzi's handwriting: The prince's affairs are a major matter of the country, and the killing of the prince will lead to the chaos of the country. This sentence was originally nothing, and Wang Ji's wording was also euphemistic, but what shocked Empress Jia was that the lower corner of the letter actually had the seals of the kings.
Sima Lun, King of Zhao, Sima Jian, King of Qi, Sima Yun, King of Huainan, Sima Yi, King of Changsha, Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, Sima Hao, King of Hejian, and Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, bowed again!
This is the kings who were driven out of Beijing by the fear of Empress Jia, but these kings all have heavy troops in their hands, and they should not be underestimated, Wang Ji was able to invite the prince to intercede for the prince, and Empress Jia had to waver.
If the crown prince dies and causes chaos among the kings, it is indeed not worth it, and it seems that this matter will have to be considered in the long run.
So after a long time of deliberation in the court, the crown prince could be exempted from the death penalty, but it was difficult to take on the big responsibility, and Empress Jia still deposed the prince for the unfilial crime of killing his father with his son, and escorted him out of the East Palace and imprisoned him in Kim Yong City.
At the same time, the prince's biological mother, Xie, and the emperor's grandson's mother, Jiang, were both given to death, and the Xie and Jiang families were punished together.
The real bloody storm is officially coming, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings has begun!
