The sentence "There is no monarch father", the four people present all moved in their hearts, and they probably understood that this was turning over old accounts, but the latter sentence - Zheng Yong thought about it, and asked: "These eight words are too heavy, and the minister is afraid that the prince will not be able to bear it, so please make it clear to His Majesty." ”

Zhao Heng didn't care about anything, looking at him at this time, he looked like his father who hated iron and steel, waved his hand and told him to get up, and then said: "The prince secretly made people break Cheng Yi's tendons, and damaged himself as a general in the court, where is the peace of the world placed?" He looked at Zheng Yong and asked meaningfully, "Cheng Yi is disabled, doesn't Zheng Qing know?" ”

Zheng Yong choked him up, he really didn't know at this moment, he didn't see anyone to report to him, and he couldn't help frowning thinking about it.

Zhou Youshen next to him also changed his face when he heard this: "Your Majesty, is this matter serious?" ”

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips raised, and he glanced back and forth at the two of them: "It seems that you don't know either." ”

Zhou Youshen sighed in his heart, and didn't dare to ask again for a while.

Li Mingshan probably understood what he heard and arched his hand at Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, have you asked the prince what he is for?" If there is a reason, the minister thinks that the prince will not be deposed."

"The prince won't say anything." Zhao Heng's face did not change his face and lied, after he was engaged, he directly threw people into the Zongren Mansion, and refused to see Zhao Liang, where did he know what Zhao Yan was? But at this time, he is determined to waste the prince, is it difficult to tell Li Mingshan, don't I know?

Li Mingshan wrinkled his brows: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses to say it, so there should be an inside story."

Cui Ziwen interrupted him in a rough voice: "Maybe there's nothing to say?" Even if His Royal Highness has a big reason, he should not secretly make a black hand, that is Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi who protects the peace of the north of the river and protects the stability of Daye. He raised his eyebrows at Li Mingshan, "General Cheng joined the army when he was young, should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince destroy him like this?" ”

Zheng Yong snorted him in his heart, Li Mingshan also closed his mouth and didn't speak, and said in his heart that you are Cui Ziwen, and you are here to sell it obediently.

This secretary of the Ministry of Rites never excludes people as an official colleague, but he may not be decent in style. Although he is not like Zhang Wei, he only knows how to meet his wishes, but he is by no means an upright person like Li Mingshan.

Why did Zhao Heng summon him together? It's just because he has long known Zhao Heng's attitude towards the prince, and if he wants to abolish the prince, it is not as simple as disposing of Cao Bin, and it is impossible not to consult the cabinet, so Zheng Yong, the first assistant, must be present, as for Zhou Youshen and Li Mingshan, one is the emperor's teacher, and the other is in charge of the department, and they should also be present, but these three people will follow Zhao Heng's meaning? That's the evil door, so Zhao Heng must mention someone who knows his mind and can speak.

Sure enough, after listening to Cui Ziwen's words, Zhao Heng said in a deep voice: "What Cui Shangshu said is exactly what I think in my heart." He saw that Zheng Yong still wanted to speak, so he added, "In the second year of Tai'an, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and I wanted to order the prince to go to the disaster relief to appease the people, but the prince knelt outside the Qingfeng Hall for three days and refused to go, and it was already seen that he had no love for the people that day. And when he was drunk, he didn't need to say anything about it - he was moral, his words were incorrect, and he slandered his father, this is what he did. Closer to say, Xie Zizhang committed a serious crime in the Jiangbei case, he doesn't know anyone, and he doesn't investigate or argue, how can he be up to the task? ”

Rao is Zheng Yong is good at arguing, and he can't say a word at this time. Zhao Heng is sentencing the prince to the "death penalty" with every word, as a prince, he does not love the people, is not loyal to the king, does not discipline himself, and does not filial piety to his father - these twelve words, on Zhao Yan's body, who can defend him?

In the past, they often said that although the prince had mediocre qualifications, he was still a pure filial piety and a good person after all, but was he really extremely filial? If it was a filial child, he would not have said such a thing as His Majesty Xià Immorality back then, and this time he brutalized the general of the DPRK, his methods were corrupt, and his behavior was bad, can he still afford a good word?

The will of the abolished prince was finally announced to the world in the afternoon of this day.

At that time, the courtiers wrote to ask Zhao Heng to take back his fate, but Zhao Heng ignored it, deposed the prince, registered him as King Shen, and stayed in Yecheng, temporarily confined and disciplined, only 2,000 stones, and divided it according to the example of the county king.

Zhao Heng deliberately chose another place to build the "Prince Shen's Mansion" for Zhao Yan, and let him live in the prince's mansion before Enzhun was completed, and he was not allowed to go out, but he did not restrict him from seeing guests.

At this time, Zhao Liang and Zhou Youshen were sitting in the middle hall of the prince's mansion, in fact, Rong Jiang also came, but she couldn't rest assured that Rong Yuan went to the inner house to find her.

Zhao Yan hung his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "King Shen, how sarcastic does this number sound?" He couldn't help but glance outside the house, "I don't think I should let Gu Ninghou enter the door, after all, I have today, it's all thanks to her." ”

Zhao Liang frowned invisibly, and his expression turned cold: "You have today, all because of your arrogance, Your Majesty reprimands you for being immoral, isn't it right?" He felt that Zhou Youshen was tugging at him, but he ignored it, and still said, "In the Zongren Mansion, when I asked you, you didn't reply." Now that your father has issued a decree to reprimand you and depose you, do you want to blame the Marquis of Guning? Isn't it you who killed Cheng Yi? Not you, the general? ”

Zhao Yan didn't speak again, Zhao Yan squinted, and slapped a few times on the small case, not light or heavy, but knocked into Zhao Yan's heart one by one.

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Liang: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." He lowered his voice, his face was still sarcastic and self-deprecating, "He should be called the emperor's father, he is the emperor first, and then the father." If he had been a father and son to me, he wouldn't have done this to me. ”

What he said was clueless, but he vaguely revealed some information to Zhao Yan, until many years later, when Zhao Liang recalled these few words of conversation between him and Zhao Yan that afternoon, he couldn't help but blame himself, if at this time, he could be more patient with Zhao Yan and trust more, maybe a lot of things would not have happened.

Zhao Liang left in a negative mood, and he had no patience with Zhao Yan, so he didn't want to listen to his words anymore. In the Zongren Mansion, until he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he gave Zhao Yan a chance - if Zhao Yan confessed, he would defend Zhao Yan no matter what, if Zhao Yan was really framed by Zhao Heng so far, he would definitely clear this charge for him - but Zhao Yan didn't, he still refused to say it directly, so Zhao Yan left, leaving Zhao Yan with a cold and arrogant back, which disappeared in his eyes.

Zhao Liang stood outside the prince's mansion and sent someone to call Rong Jiang out and go with them, Rong Jiang was worried about Rong Yuan, where was he willing to leave with him? But Zhao Liang stood outside the mansion and waited for her, asking people to pass on the words over and over again, Rong Jiang was really helpless, so he had to say goodbye to Rong Yuan and go outside the mansion.

When she saw Zhao Liang, she had a straight face, and she didn't care about Zhou Youshen beside her: "What does Your Highness have to call me for?" ”

Zhao Liang raised his eyebrows and glanced into the mansion: "He hates to pick your skin, and you dare to stay in the prince's mansion to obstruct his eyes?" Saying that, he laughed again, stepped on the horse, and pulled the reins to look at Rong Jiang, "I have something to ask your grandfather, get on the horse and go back with me." (To be continued.) )
