Chapter 261: The inexplicable disposition of the crown prince

Shao Wei's speech is clever, but he doesn't know how long he will follow the prince before he finishes what he has done for many years. (Go. The moment he stopped, the banquet was so quiet that he could even hear his breathing.

The queen's hands clutched the hem of her skirt almost to break, but her face was still calm.

Everyone didn't say a word, just waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Prince, Shao Wei has already said so much, do you have anything else to say?"

The crown prince took a deep breath, and when he looked up at the emperor again, his eyes were full of tears, "Father, since you were a child, you have taught your sons to be a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and to be a good example for your brothers, and your sons have always warned themselves according to your father's instructions. But now, when something like this happens, does the father choose to believe in his son? Or do you believe the foul language of these two deliberately slanderous sons? ”

He even refused to admit it. A sneer appeared at the corner of the prince's mouth, do you think you can hide from it like this?

"So, the prince doesn't admit what they say?" The emperor said condescendingly.

The crown prince nodded, raised his neck, and after a while, he had calmed down, "Father, what the son has not done will never admit it." ”

Li Yuan has no bottom in his heart, since he chose to betray the prince like Shao Wei, then he can't let the prince turn over, this is the truth that all betrayers should understand, if the prince is completely safe today, it means that he and Shao Wei are going to suffer, which is not a good thing. (.)

"Your Majesty! The minister has evidence, and every thing that the minister has done for the prince over the years has been recorded in a book by the minister, and the book is now in the minister's study, please send someone to find it. After Li Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at the prince arrogantly, as if he was signaling to the other party, see which of us is more horizontal!

On the other hand, Shao Wei was not to be outdone, "Your Majesty, the ministers also have evidence, and the ministers also have evidence!" ”

The people sent out to search were very fast, and they came back after a long time, and everyone saw the leader slowly walking up to the main hall with two large trays of things.

Gonggong Kang took the tray and handed it to the emperor one by one. Of all the objects, the empress sat beside the emperor and followed to see the most real. Seeing the queen's face change from blue to purple and from purple to green, Chu Yi knew that his plan with Xi Yao and Bai Moyang had succeeded.

A large tray full of things was thrown to the bottom of His Royal Highness by the emperor, and smashed on the prince's head without warning, "Come on, draft a decree!" ”

"Your Majesty, just a few words from two people, plus some messy things, are you going to blame the crown prince? Your Majesty, you have to think twice......" The queen spoke again to dissuade her, and grabbed the emperor's arm.

The emperor turned his head suddenly, his eyes were like a cold glow, and the stabbing queen's hands trembled, but no matter what, she would not let go of the emperor's arm at this time. If you let go now, it will be a renunciation of your son, and no mother will do such a thing.

"Queen, what I am dealing with now is the crown prince, who knows the current affairs, you don't say anything and don't do anything, otherwise, even with you, I will clean up together."

The Queen's hands trembled even more. No one in the harem has clean hands, not to mention, in order to help the prince, the queen was also powerful in the previous dynasty, if she is really involved now, I am afraid that she will not even have a chance to save her son. Thinking like this, the queen let go of her tightly held hand. Soon there was silence.

In fact, the queen knew very well in her heart that the emperor was ready to clean up the crown prince today, otherwise, how could Shao Wei be brought to the main hall so quickly, he disappeared inexplicably three days ago. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, apart from the emperor, who has the ability to make a person disappear inexplicably in the palace?

In addition, there are many ways for the emperor to clean up the crown prince, you can secretly remove his subordinate forces little by little, or you can knock on the side, like today, in front of everyone There is no room for the prince, then there is only one purpose: he wants to completely destroy the prince.

The prince obviously expected this, and he put all his hopes on the queen, but when he saw the other party's expression of helplessness, the prince was on the verge of collapse and sat on the top of the main hall. At this moment, he couldn't even speak.

At the end of the banquet, everyone left with a serious face, and they didn't even dare to talk about it halfway, and everyone held their breath until they got into the carriage before they dared to speak out.

"It's just that the prince is grounded in the prince's mansion, isn't this punishment too small?" On the carriage, Bai Moyang said as if he didn't understand.

The prince's tone was mysterious, "Father, there are still plans for the next step." ”

"Oh? What's next? Xi Yao raised her eyes, "Could it be that the emperor wants to solve more than just the crown prince?" ”

Chu Yi nodded, "Yes, my father said that cutting grass will be eradicated, and now if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is directly abolished, then the big forces behind him will not be easy to solve, so we have to wait for the time to be ripe and uproot them together." ”

"This big force refers to the king of Xu, right?" Xi Yao raised her eyes and said with a smile rather than a smile.

The prince nodded, "That's right. The father is trying to push the crown prince into a corner. ”

"Looks like we'll have to wait a while."

The Prince's Mansion, which was originally still warm, became very deserted in an instant. Under the emperor's instructions, the number of people in the palace who are responsible for taking care of the prince has been reduced to almost nothing, and there are only three people left, as for the prince's side, there are even fewer of them, most of them are sitting in the empty and idle courtyard eating melon seeds and chatting about idle days.

As for the prince, he was stuffed in his room all day, no one paid attention to him, and only when it was time for tea and dinner, the door would be opened, and the tray of the previous meal would be exchanged with the tray of this meal.

Li Yuan and Shao Wei were quickly dealt with accordingly by the emperor, and until they died, Li Yuan didn't think that he was tricked by the emperor, and the emperor didn't believe his words.

As for the queen, after the banquet, she fell seriously ill, and stayed in Kunyi Palace, not accepting the palace's invitation, let alone going out for half a step.

Everyone speculated about what the emperor would do with the crown prince next, and those who had been close to the prince in the past soon began to destroy the evidence and shift the target to other princes.

However, the emperor was surprisingly calm and calm, except for the anger shown on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, for the next few days, everything was calm as if nothing had happened, until more than half a month later, the emperor still did not give the final decision on the execution of the crown prince.

I have to say that the people who thought they knew what the emperor was thinking were all wrong this time, and everyone was very curious and very suspicious of what the emperor was thinking. If you wanted to keep the prince from the beginning, why did you directly give the prince such a big problem in front of so many people; If you wanted to abolish the prince from the beginning, so much evidence of the crime is there, should it be abolished? Why is it that in the end, there is no sound after just a small grounding?
