96.The Abolished Prince (1)

"The crown prince is born after the Yuan Dynasty, his status is noble, and he cherishes it."

"The prince has been studying since he was a child, and he understands righteousness and has a valuable character. The upper is the blessing of the ancestral temple society, and the lower is the creation of the courtiers and the people, and I am overjoyed! ”

"And now that the prince has encountered an accident, I am panicked all day long, not to mention praying for the prince, but vainly speculating on the intentions of the prince, asking for the abolition of the prince, what a bad intention!"

"The prince is the elder brother, and he loves and protects you and others on weekdays, but now you have no sadness on your face, how disrespectful!"

At the court meeting, Emperor Yongning was furious, and hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

The three princes who were pointed at their noses and scolded by Emperor Yongning for being "disrespectful" knelt in the forefront of the civil and military officials one by one with pale faces. You must know that the comment "disrespectful" was said by the sage, which is too harsh, and it undoubtedly cuts off the possibility of winning the throne, especially now that the prince has been diagnosed by the imperial doctor that his right hand will not be fully restored, the country does not need a flawed prince, and abolishing the prince is already the trend of the times.

It is comforting that the princes kneeling are all the sons of Emperor Yongning except for the crown prince, and everyone is scolded together, which is equivalent to not being scolded.

At this time, the hands of the second prince Tu Jin hidden under the cuffs were clenched, and the indignation in his eyes became more and more intense, and there was a bit of schadenfreude behind the resentment; The three princes looked deferential and ashamed, and it is unknown what they thought in their hearts; The youngest of the five princes bit their lips tightly, trying not to let themselves cry.

After Emperor Yongning was furious, exhaustion instantly hit his heart when he sat back on the dragon chair, and after a long time, he said in a calm and waveless voice: "There is no need to mention this matter again. ”

"Retreat from the dynasty—" The sharp voice of the great eunuch Wei Jinchao stung the numb knees of everyone in the hall, as well as their different thoughts. Then, when everyone walked out with heavy steps, it was obviously a sunny day in early summer and April outside, but the civil and military officials did not feel any relaxed.

In fact, from half a month ago, when the crown prince fell from a horse in the horse training ground and fell into a coma, Emperor Yongning was furious, and then later investigated that it was not an accident but a man-made queen, and the entire dynasty was in a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

The reason why the Tai-Zi-Party is panicking can be imagined. Although Emperor Yongning will be furious because of a minister's request to abolish the crown prince today, everyone knows that the prince's right hand is no longer good, and the abolition of the crown prince's position is unstoppable.

The rest of the ministers who have stood in line can't suppress the excitement in their hearts, after all, the prince who doesn't want to be the emperor is not a good prince, and now they haven't gone all out, the prince who is between the prince and the emperor is about to step down, how can they not be happy.

Of course, bad things always come with good things, it's been half a month, who dared to murder the prince, the horse training field was dug into the ground, and the culprit was still not caught, which is undoubtedly like pouring a scoop of hot oil on the already boiling water.

If it is placed elsewhere, this matter may be over, but this is a matter of the prince and the country, how can it be a big thing and a small matter. Moreover, being an emperor has always been willful, haven't you heard of #The Wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of floating corpses, and thousands of miles of blood#, seeing that now in addition to the henchmen of the Taizi-Party, they are safe and sound, and the henchmen of other factions disappear silently every day, so you can know what the sage thinks - his old man has killed all the henchmen who were unexpectedly killed except for the Tai-Zi-Party.

Several factions of the prince's party are innocent, although they are doing everything possible to pull the prince off the horse, but they really didn't send someone to do anything to the horse the prince rode. But can you say that? Of course not!

Just watched the friends disappear coldly, and the various factions were also panicked, and they all hated to catch the other factions and ask clearly, did you do it? Do you die if you do good deeds and leave a name?

…… Of course you'll die, sir!

Looking at it this way, if it continues like this, the adults who are still holding the position will have a light nervous breakdown. At this time, they can't help but look at the East Palace, which is the source of evil.

In this regard, although he has not officially appeared, the prince, who has been brushing up on zài, can only say: "Blame me? "Of course, the prince shouldn't be in such a happy mood.

East Palace

Emperor Yongning went to the East Palace without stopping, as usual, no one was notified in advance, outside the prince's dormitory, the princess Zhou greeted her, and was about to salute Emperor Yongning waved his hand at will, and walked into the palace, the prince lay on the bed on his back, his black hair was spread on the jade pillow and between the bed, the snow-white underwear, the snow-like wrist exposed on the brocade quilt, and the pale face that was almost transparent under a ray of sunlight that came in, forming a sharp contrast between black and white, and he became more and more vulnerable.

Emperor Yongning's eyes fell on the prince's right hand exposed outside the brocade quilt, although there was no problem with looking at it like this, but he knew very well what the imperial doctor said, when he fell from the horse, he pressed his right wrist, and it was a blessing to be able to keep his muscles and veins, not to mention lifting heavy objects in the future, but it may be difficult to write.

Emperor Yongning still remembers that when the prince first began to learn calligraphy, he also taught him to paint red by hand, and also urged the prince to practice calligraphy, and also remembered that the prince and the prince praised the prince's words more than once.

The more he recalled, the more heartache Emperor Yongning felt. The crown prince was his first son, and he was born to the early death of Empress Yuan, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he became the prince and devoted himself to training. The crown prince also lived up to his expectations, benevolent, elegant, quite popular with hundreds of officials, and made great achievements in politics, just like he said This is the blessing of the society and the luck of the subjects, but now it has come to an abrupt end, which makes Emperor Yongning not sad.

As an emperor, the most direct way to express his grief is to reward and reward, and after Emperor Yongning returned to the south study, a large number of rewards were sent into the East Palace like flowing water.

The crown princess casually handed over the list given by Emperor Yongning to the side concubine Meng, and by the way, ignored the crackling sound of the abacus beads after she turned around. It's just that when no one was paying attention, he rolled his eyes under his nose and turned back to the prince's bedroom.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the crown princess looked at the prince who had lost a lot of weight, looked at the prince's fair face, the princess stretched out her hand to look at her hand, and raised her hand to cover the prince's face.

However, before the palm of his hand could be compared, he saw the prince's eyelashes move, and the princess's palm, which was facing down, immediately withdrew and gently tucked the brocade quilt instead.

The next moment, the person on the bed opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he was not sleepy, and his dark pupils reflected the virtuous expression on the face of the crown princess at this moment.

I don't know if it's the princess's delusion, she thinks that her previous small movements—whether her father-in-law's face is smaller than her own hand—were seen through by the prince, but it's really not something to say, right? The weak-hearted crown princess pinched the palm of the strange hand, and said in a soft tone: "My father has been here." ”

"yes, I know." The prince half-closed his eyes, and said calmly, coldly choking the princess, her eyes drifted, and spontaneously filtered # when the emperor's father-in-law was condescending to the noble, and when the prince's father-in-law was bold and fat# filtered, but the original words were not, not to say it.

Fortunately, the empathetic prince changed the topic: "If we go out of the palace to build a mansion, do you have any special requirements?" ”

The crown princess took half a beat to digest the deep meaning of the prince's words, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she said dryly: "Let's live in the East Palace, we have a good ......" against the sick Xizi wins three points (?) The crown princess couldn't say a word of comfort, but at this time, there were immature fairy tales to save the princess from fire and water.

"Daddy." The eldest grandson of the emperor, who had just been able to speak, was also the only seedling in the East Palace, and he came to the side of the prince who was half-seated mellowly, and called "Daddy" in a tender voice.

Gu Qing, who raised his son for the first time in several lifetimes, showed a comfortable smile, patted the bed, and watched the three-headed milk doll climb up for a long time, Gu Qing stretched out his hand and hugged him, and said to Tu Ze when he remembered something: "Does Aze want to be the emperor?" ”

Recently, the emperor's eldest grandson, who could only speak "Daddy" and "good" human language, opened his big wet eyes and said loudly: "Good".

"Good boy." Gu Qing stretched out his hand and rubbed the little guy's soft fetal hair, looked up at the stunned princess, and asked very thoughtfully, "What's wrong with you?" Tu Ze also tilted his furry head to look over, "Ga? ”

Crown Princess: "...... Ah, oh, I'm going to the toilet! After saying that, he left in a trance.

It seems that she is really in a hurry to solve the physiological problem, no, okay? was completely frightened by the thunder released by Gu Qing's muffled voice. Seriously, now that you can't even be the crown prince, what kind of logic will say to the emperor's eldest grandson, "Do you want to be the emperor"!

But think about it another way, since the prince can't be the prince, didn't you say that you can't have the imperial grandson? Just because it's a blind spot in the mind doesn't allow it to exist. Anything in the royal family will probably be saved until the last minute, isn't it? Besides, even if it is at the last moment, what can be done, in history, rebellion, rebellion and even yellow robes abound. Now the son of the deposed prince has won the throne and is now part of this royal luxury package.

What's even more dramatic and conflicting is that the reason for the abolition of Gu Qing, the soon-to-be-abolished "abolished prince", is not a traditional reason, and he will not be a member of the abolished princes who will never end well.

His exit from the crown prince is destined to be a strong stroke, if this is not exciting enough, then what about his exit directed and acted by him?

Yes, he is the "culprit" who does good deeds without leaving a name, and he does not do it simply to increase the conflict of the drama, but in many analyses, it is one of the most effective ways to get out of the quagmire.

As for what the "quagmire" is, it's a long story - throughout the ages, if you want to make a #Most Hard-working Profession# ranking, then the "Prince" profession is definitely at the top.

Horizontally speaking, where is the prince's embarrassment? If you do it badly, you can't do it, you can't deter it, and you can't convince the public; If you do it well, it will be too popular and easy to be suspicious of the emperor; If you don't do it well, it's not bad, if it's good, it's called no merit, and if it's not good, it's called "it's the same with you or not"......

Vertically speaking, there are very few princes who have ascended the throne as emperors in previous dynasties, and the princes who often fall on the road to seize the throne often do not end well, and the end of life seems to be the most ideal state. But who knows if this is the end of life or not?

The crown prince Tusheng, born after the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Yongning, the most noble among the princes, was canonized as the crown prince at the age of six, and now it has been sixteen years.

In the context of advocating the primogeniture inheritance system, Tu Sheng himself is also rooted and virtuous, and he is quite virtuous, and he can be said to be the most perfect heir. The premise is that the male lion is not old, and the lion cub emerges, which is undoubtedly a provocation to the male lion. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

Of course, now the East Palace is full of flowers, a cluster of brocade, and it seems that there is no way to see what kind of waves are underneath the calm and waveless lake. Also, Emperor Yongning is still jealous of the prince, and it is not possible to abolish the prince overnight, and it is also closely related to the Jiangshan Society, and it has to be slowly figured out.

Divide the party and pull three to one.

The former is very easy to understand, after all, a fence has three piles, and if the pile is removed, why worry about the fence can still be stable; In the latter, the "three" represents the remaining three princes and the forces behind them, and the crown prince must first be pulled off the horse for the throne.

In the end, there was Emperor Yongning who took charge of the overall situation, and the crown prince, who was fledgling enough to compete with Emperor Yongning, gradually all he could do was to fight the trapped beasts, and finally ended up with a gloomy ending.

This is the conclusion that Gu Qing came to after integrating all kinds of information at the beginning of the crossing, ahh

It was as if Gu Qing was really distressed about this.

At that time, there were two ways in front of Gu Qing, one was to preemptively strike before Emperor Yongning abolished him, or rebel or gently ask Emperor Yongning to take the throne. This is a very positive way of thinking, that is to say, there is not much time left for Gu Qing, and he still has to have difficulties to go on, and if there is no difficulty, he must also go up;

The other is to preemptively strike before Emperor Yongning abolishes him, and he himself deposes himself first. This is a very backward way of thinking, which can also be understood as "taking a step back and opening the sky", and then taking retreat as advance, slowly drawing it.

For Gu Qing, both paths are interesting, the former is more challenging, and the latter is more interesting; The former has a quick effect, and the latter has a long time.

As for how Gu Qing chosen, it was divided into four steps. One: find a piece of paper and cut it in half, two: write one (one) and two (two) with capital letters on two pieces of paper, three: throw it on the table in a ball, four: choose one.

Ahem, summed up in two words, that is, drawing lots.

As for the result of the choice, it is obvious, Gu Qing directed and acted by himself to cripple himself, and by the way, he indiscriminately pitted all parties except the Taizi-party, and even the harem was not spared, who let Empress Yuan die early and it was still a mess when he checked it, so everyone could only suffer together.

#独乐乐不如众乐乐#

Gu Qing's fall was not unheroic, so much so that the newly opened private treasury of the East Palace was filled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Emperor Yongning, who had the most complicated feelings, made the greatest contribution.

To use a less appropriate metaphor, before the crown prince has become the "mosquito blood"/"white rice" in the eyes of Emperor Yongning, the prince he has high hopes for is still the "cinnabar mole"/"white moonlight" in the eyes of Emperor Yongning.

Not to mention, the crown prince is now a victim, and the clues that are full of fog and fog make Emperor Yongning even more jealous, and this jealousy will undoubtedly turn into an indiscriminate attack.

In this way, the crown prince was automatically classified as the "only remaining pure land" by Emperor Yongning, which needs to be carefully cared for and watered...... Gu Qing was shocked by his own thoughts, he lowered his head and met Tu Ze's clear and bright big eyes, he smiled at the little guy, and the little guy also grinned, revealing his rice teeth that had not yet grown. Well, he's a toothed man.

The crown princess, who came back from changing clothes, witnessed this scene, and although she still maintained a dignified smile on her face, her heart was actually broken.

Since the prince fell from his horse half a month ago, the next events have been like wild horses that have broken off, running around with their hooves pouted, and they can't stop at all. As for now, the wild horse jumped straight off the cliff, no, it was shaken down by the prince's earth-shattering words.

In more fashionable terms, the crown princess has a thousand grass and mud horses galloping around in her heart.

Tu Ze found the crown princess first, and happily waved his little fat hand: "Ga? ”

Gu Qing's far-reaching gaze shrouded her, and the crown princess's heart suddenly settled, and she was still thinking in a daze, as if the prince's face was only the size of a palm.

……

The next day, the south study.

Emperor Yongning successively refuted several excerpts on the transfer of officials on the left attendant of the ministry, Cui Yongdao, and his face sank like water. As soon as the prince had an accident, he really blew up a lot of ghosts! Look, even the left servant of the ministry, who has always regarded himself as a pure minister, quietly stood in line. As for the reason for standing in line, Emperor Yongning knows very well, doesn't he just want to get that share of the dragon's work, but I'm still fine, so I'm looking forward to my journey to the west?

Emperor Yongning unexpectedly thought of the prince who fell from the horse, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, didn't they just can't wait. Thinking of this, Emperor Yongning was about to ask about the situation of the personal eunuch Wei Jin in the East Palace, when he swept to the next fold, signed by Shen Ying's name. Emperor Yongning frowned slightly, then first suppressed the idea of asking the prince, and picked up Shen Ying's fold.

After opening the excerpt, he saw at a glance that this was an excerpt to abolish the prince, and Emperor Yongning was immediately furious, and then dropped the fold: "Bastard!" My words are on deaf ears! Please abolish the prince, this fold is what his dignified prince and young master should be! Tell Shen Ying to come to see me! ”

As soon as Wei Jinchao was about to go in person, he heard Emperor Yongning stop him, "Shen Ying went to the East Palace yesterday?" ”

Recently, Emperor Yongning has paid great attention to the East Palace, basically there is something going on in the East Palace, and the South Study is all on file, so that the saint can ask from time to time. As a personal eunuch, Wei Jinchao naturally knew clearly, and replied: "Lord Shen is not going to the East Palace from time to time." ”

Emperor Yongning was silent, he read the excerpt carefully, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Go to the East Palace to pass the decree, no, pass on my message, and call the prince to come to the south study." After a pause, he added: "Don't be in a hurry." ”

Wei Jinchao knew in his heart, thinking that it was the saint who went to the East Palace yesterday, and the prince didn't wake him up when he fell asleep, can he still find someone more valuable than a saint in this world? This time to go to the East Palace, naturally everything has to follow the rhythm of the prince.

Fortunately, Wei Jin entered the East Palace respectfully, and the prince got out of bed rarely, standing in front of the window, without a crown, his black hair was scattered behind him, and his eyebrows were covered with a thousand sails of accessibility and tranquility. Wei Jinchao suppressed the surprise in his heart and respectfully conveyed the message of Emperor Yongning.

Gu Qing was not surprised at all, in fact, he was waiting, and immediately called someone to come in and change into the prince's clothes for him, and brought the box that had been prepared to contain the prince's seal, all the way from the East Palace to the south study.

The palace was majestic, and there was a heavy breath on his face, to be honest, Gu Qing didn't appreciate the palace well since he crossed over, and he circled around the east palace in one acre and three points. It's just that Gu Qing's acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite and free, even if he is curious about the palace in his heart, he doesn't show anything on his face, and there is basically no fluctuation in his black and white eyes.

Wei Jinchao didn't dare to look at the prince head-on, but the skill of observing words and emotions had already been full, and he only felt that the prince's expression was not quite right, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he secretly wrote down this weirdness.

In the south study, Emperor Yongning heard the announcement of the eunuch outside, and immediately looked up at the door. Gu Qing was dressed in a bright yellow prince's service, his body was long, and he was tall and tall, which made people yearn for it, but it was a pity that the tailor-made prince's clothes looked particularly empty on him now, especially with the excessively fair face and the thin waist stretched out by the bright yellow belt, cough. What's that, it's that people lose weight and appear to have loose clothes.

However, it still made Emperor Yongning trance, Gu Qing called "Father", Emperor Yongning relieved himself, exempted Gu Qing's courtesy, and turned his head to scold Wei Jinchao: "What does the Internal Affairs Mansion do?" The prince's clothes don't fit well, don't you know how to make a fit come out? ”

Gu Qing's unusually calm voice interjected: "Father Emperor has seen Shen Ying's excerpts? ”

Emperor Yongning suddenly turned his head to stare at Gu Qing, who said this unhurriedly, and asked in a deep voice with his throat sliding: "Is it really the excerpt you called him?" Wei Jinchao has been by the side of Emperor Yongning for more than 20 years, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the sage was a precursor to anger, and he glanced at the prince who was not moving in the eight winds, and his heart was anxious.

As soon as the prince's bloodless lips moved, he said one word: "Yes." ”

"You!" Emperor Yongning felt that his father's love had been lost to the dog, and the tea bowl in his hand had not been smashed out, so he saw that he was weak and couldn't help but wind (?) The crown prince had two lines of tears on his face, and he was silent, but it flowed into the heart of Emperor Yongning, and the anger that had just gushed out turned into heartache, and the eyes of a generation of emperors were also red.

Gu Qing resolutely knelt on the ground, and tears splashed on the ground and rippled.

"As the prince, the son-in-law should have acted cautiously, but he was negligent and flawed, and such conduct was unbearable to be the prince again, and the son-in-law asked to abolish the prince's position."

"The son is the son of a man, and the parents who have suffered from the body are now damaged, which makes the father worry and worry, it is useless for the society, there is no advantage for the subjects, and the son thinks that he has no face to be the prince again."

"The son made Daddy sad, because he was unfilial."

Words and sentences, from the bottom of their hearts, like crying and complaining, from "son" to "son", the feelings are sublimated again, and with the current good skin, it can no longer incite people's hearts.

Then, the most noble father and son in the world complained to each other, and then hugged their heads and cried, their liver and intestines were broken, as if they were parting with life and death, and they really interpreted the sentence in an all-round way: #人生如戏, it all depends on acting skills#!
