After the initial shock passed, the third prince finally began to calm down and think.

The father's favorite son is none other than himself, and he is still very confident in this. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince was born two years earlier and occupied the advantage of the eldest son, this crown prince position would have been in his pocket long ago. This time, the action was actually not too reckless. With the foreshadowing of the previous few months, the recent movements of the court are also very beneficial to him. No matter how you look at it, it is the best time to ask for the crown prince to be replaced.

But why was my father so angry? Almost mercilessly, he dismissed everyone's performance, and made such a big commotion. It is clear that he wants to use this move to warn him not to think about the crown prince in the future

Which part of the business went wrong? Or is there someone behind the scenes, and he doesn't even notice it?

After all, Concubine Zheng Guifei is a female streamer, and it is okay to make some conspiracies and calculations in the harem on weekdays, but she is not familiar with the major affairs of the court. The six gods were flustered for a moment, but they still couldn't figure out the reason. Seeing that the third prince's face was calm, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhang'er, have you figured it out, where is the business trip, why did your father have such a reaction?" ”

The third prince held back his anger, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "I haven't thought of what it is, but it's obvious that someone is secretly stumbling on me." My father gave birth to a mustard against me, which is why I have the wrath of thunder. ”

"Who could be plotting against you?" Zheng Guifei asked.

The third prince thought for a moment, but he didn't know the point, frowned and said, "It should be someone from the prince's faction, who is it?" I couldn't have thought of it for a while."

Not only can't I think of who this person is, but I can't think of what kind of method this person used to calculate him! He really lost this game.

Concubine Zheng Guifei saw the third prince's depressed appearance. Naturally distressed in his heart, he comforted in a low voice: "Your father must have been deceived by the villain. I don't know what misunderstanding I have about you, that's why it's like this. When he is overwhelmed, he will naturally be fine. You don't have to worry, he has always loved you, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

That being said, even Concubine Zheng herself knew that the hope was getting slimmer.

In the case of full preparation, he returned home with such a result, which was not only a head-on blow to the third prince. I am afraid that it will be a fatal blow to the people of the Three Princes' faction. Several heavyweights have touched their noses, who else will dare to take the lead in handing over such a twist and turn in the future?

The third prince also knew very well that this was Concubine Zheng's words of comfort. But when people are down, they always feel better when they hear such words: "Don't worry, mother, I won't collapse because of this blow"

Before the words fell, the voice of the palace maid sounded outside the door: "Qiyu Guifei Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the emperor ordered someone to pass on the message, please go to the imperial study now." ”

The three princes and Concubine Zheng were all shocked. The emperor has just sent down a group of ministers, and now he has ordered someone to tell him to go over, no matter how he thinks about it, it is not a good rhythm!

But the emperor's edict has come, whether the three princes want it or not. The study is a must-go!

The third prince took a few deep breaths and comforted Concubine Zheng in a low voice: "Don't worry about the mother, my father asked me to go, not necessarily to scold me." I'll go over now. Let's see what's going on. ”

A flash of water flashed in Concubine Zheng's eyes, and her voice was a little choked: "If your father is angry, you must not speak against it." I'd rather suffer some grievances. Wait until this time to make plans. ”

The third prince squeezed out a smile and nodded.

No matter how anxious you are. The moment he walked out of Concubine Zheng's bedroom, the third prince regained his former composure - at least on the surface. Even if you lose. It is also a kind of courage to face it calmly with your head held high.

However, such courage flew away most of the moment he saw the emperor in the imperial study.

The emperor was sitting at the large desk, his face was not very angry, but his face was cold. Those who are close to and familiar with the emperor know that this is what the emperor looks like when he is really angry

The third prince chuckled in his heart, and his mind spun quickly. But a calm and gentle smile appeared on his face: "Erchen has seen my father!" ”

The emperor didn't smile like before, but just glanced at him lightly: "You entered the palace in the morning!" ”

This seemingly brainless question made the third prince secretly stunned. When the emperor asked this, he was clearly accusing him of secretly instructing the ministers to play a trick, of course, and this is also the case. He did enter the palace in the morning, waiting for the good news.

It's just that even if some things are well known to each other, as long as they don't admit it, they don't have it.

The third prince replied respectfully: "Erchen knows that the concubine is not in good health these days, so he specially went to the palace to visit. ”

At the mention of Concubine Zheng Guifei, the emperor's face softened slightly, but he did not ask Concubine Zheng how her health was, but talked about the twists and turns: "Come over and take a look at this pile of twists and turns." ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then walked over under the emperor's cold gaze. The same pile that had been thrown on the ground before, and now it was picked up one by one. The emperor didn't speak, but just motioned to the three princes with his eyes to watch the twists and turns.

The third prince tried to suppress all the panic back, pretending to be calm and picked up a copy, and then opened it to read.

The first book is that of his uncle Zheng Yun. I don't need to repeat what the above content is, everyone understands it. What is shocking is the vermilion imperial approval below the fold.

Since it is said that the prince is mediocre and incompetent, who can replace the prince?

The third prince only felt that two sharp eyes fell on his face, as if they had seen through all his hidden thoughts. That kind of invisible coercion can probably only be detected by the person concerned.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on the forehead of the third prince, and at this moment, he suddenly realized in his heart. This time, he probably didn't want to get away with it. The emperor's posture is clearly to ask the teacher for guilt. Although he still doesn't know what he did wrong, the most important thing at the moment is not this, but to make the emperor angry

The third prince was also a person who made a quick decision, and after thinking about this layer clearly, he no longer looked at the folds, but knelt down with a plop: "The father is angry, and the son knows that he is wrong." ”

"Wrongdoing?" The emperor repeated slowly, his eyes still condensed: "Since you know that you are wrong, then you can tell me, what is wrong with you?" ”

The third prince lowered his head, so he couldn't know what the emperor's face was at the moment. can only be inferred from the emperor's calm and cold voice that if he doesn't reflect deeply, he probably won't want to set foot in this imperial study in the future

"Erchen shouldn't think about the position of prince." The third prince said ruthlessly: "You shouldn't instigate everyone to play and make the emperor angry, it's the son's unfilial piety."

"It's not wrong that you want to be the crown prince." The emperor unexpectedly interrupted him: "To be my son, if you don't even dare to have this ambition, you will be too cowardly and useless." ”

The hearts of those who heard this were shocked. The third prince not only did not feel calm, but became more and more worried: "My father said this, which really embarrassed the sons. ”

But the emperor fell silent, as if waiting for something. The third prince was worried that he would say too much and make mistakes, so he simply remained silent.

In such silence, the third prince seemed to hear a soft sigh from the emperor. There are too many complicated contents in this sigh. It seems that there is anger and dissatisfaction, but more than that, there is a deep disappointment.

Of course, the third prince is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been favored by the emperor for so many years. He intuitively sensed that he must have missed something very important. But what is it? My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't think of anything at all. subconsciously looked up at the emperor.

Then, the third prince was shocked by the emperor's disappointed and angry expression, and opened his mouth without thinking and said: "Father, what did the son do wrong, please make it clear to the father!" ”

The emperor glanced at the third prince who was kneeling there straight and straight: "Don't you know what you have done yourself?" ”

What the hell is going on?!

For the first time in his life, the third prince tasted this kind of bitterness and unspeakable taste, and the depression and resentment in his heart could not be described in words: "Father, the sons and daughters should not form parties for personal gain, and get acquainted with important ministers outside the court."

"It's all now, aren't you telling the truth?" Seeing that he always refused to tell the truth, the emperor was completely disappointed, and his face became condensed again.

I don't know what's going on at all, so what can he say?

The three princes were aggrieved, but they had no place to complain, so they could only kneel and listen to the hadith. Secretly ruthless in his heart, if he finds out who is making trouble behind his back, he will definitely not be able to spare this person!

The emperor's patience was also exhausted, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he said in a deep voice: "Since you haven't figured out what you did wrong, then I'll give you time to think slowly." From today onwards, you don't have to go to court anymore. Stay in your house with peace of mind, when you think clearly, when you will come back to see me! ”

He was to be placed under house arrest in the prince's mansion.

The third prince's heart was cold. How proud he was when the prince was punished and grounded more than a month ago. I didn't take turns in feng shui first, and it was my turn so soon

Thunder and rain are all Jun'en! Even though the third prince was full of bitterness, he couldn't say more than half a word at this time, and responded respectfully.

The emperor's slightly tired voice came from behind the desk: "I'm also tired, you kneel down!" ”

The third prince had no choice but to kneel down and silently retreat from the imperial study.

The moment he walked out of the imperial study, his legs were a little sore, and his heart was at a loss. But more than that, there is incomprehension and anger that cannot be expressed.

In this game, he lost inexplicably and lost again without even knowing his opponent! (To be continued......)
