Chapter 479: Attacking the Heart
After listening to Zhu Xuanming's words, Emperor Chongde showed a smile with unknown meaning, and then asked: "However, what do you mean that Lao Jiu went out of the palace to Dingyuan Temple, is there another hidden secret?" Or did he have colluded with the Shen family for a long time? ”
Zhu Xuanming didn't expect Emperor Chongde to be so direct, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, he struggled for a while, and was still reluctant to give up this opportunity to take eye medicine, so he nodded and said: "Erchen still thinks that this matter has another inside story, and it is better for my father to send someone to investigate." ”
Of course, Emperor Chongde has already sent someone to check!
Before Zhu Xuanming arrived, the royal family also found a secret report, that is, the Jiang family was secretly looking for a child who was very similar to Zhu Xuanzhi. The Jiang family has produced a prince Liangdi, and Jiang Qin has always been used by Zhu Xuanming.
It is self-evident who the Jiang family is doing this for.
Why did the Jiang family find such a person, Emperor Chongde didn't understand it before, but now he finally knows. He also knew what the Empress Dowager Zheng meant.
Intended for royal blood, it turned out to be here. Before the crown prince ascended the throne, he couldn't accommodate the royal bloodline? He hadn't even started to supervise the country, and his hand had already reached the Tiger Army.
For Guo Qin, even if Emperor Chongde knew that he was Zhu Xuanming's person, he didn't have much thought. The prince of a country and the future emperor must always have their own strength. Besides, it's just a five-rank captain, and Emperor Chongde hasn't taken it into his eyes yet.
Emperor Chongde also knew that the royal family had no brothers. There is only one throne, but the temptation of this throne is too great, and every prince wants to sit on it. Fighting is inevitable. Back then, he stepped on the corpse of the second king to ascend the throne. However, this does not mean that he wants to see his sons do the same.
He doesn't expect his many sons to get along, but he also has a bottom line, which is to hope that his sons can all live.
From the very beginning, he was extremely fond of Zhu Xuanming, so that other princes could not compete with him for the throne, and even deliberately did not raise the status of Lin Meiren, the biological mother of the second prince, just to let the other sons recognize their status and cut off their thoughts of competing for the throne.
This is the way Emperor Chongde protects these sons.
In his opinion. Not enough skills. Don't be so ambitious. Far from the throne, is the way to sign up.
Although the second prince was imprisoned in the mansion by him, he was still alive, wasn't he?
But now. The prince can't tolerate them! When he was still a prince. He couldn't tolerate his brothers. So what will happen when he ascends the throne, you can imagine what will happen. -- Emperor Chongde could almost have foreseen the tragic bloody storm in the future.
I can't help it. Emperor Chongde remembered a record in the wild history, which told the story of the previous dynasty's choice of the prince.
In history, the emperor hesitated among the princes, and he didn't know who was suitable. Later, Zaifu suggested that a prince with mediocre but generous talents was established, and the reason was that the prince was established, and other princes could be protected.
In the past, Emperor Chongde scoffed at this practice, of course, the monarch is capable, how can he be a mediocre prince for the sake of blood? Yongjun is the easiest to become a faint monarch, and he is also the easiest to make the country turbulent, which is a sin for the ages.
But at this moment, he deeply realized the deep meaning of this choice. What he was thinking at the moment was: no matter how many princes there are, they can't help but get rid of them one by one, and there will always be an end of time.
Maybe in the future, there will be few members of the royal family in the world. If this continues, the royal family will wither. The royal family withered, how could they suppress those relatives and ministers?
A person like Lao Jiu, his biological mother is dead, and he has no power at all, and the prince can't tolerate it, so who else can the prince tolerate?
There were waves churning in Emperor Chongde's heart, and the impact made it almost difficult for him to sit still. But he didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhu Xuanming deeply, and ordered him to withdraw from the Zichen Palace.
Zhu Xuanming was confused, he didn't understand why his father only asked such simple words, and he didn't know if the eye medicine had become or not, so he left the Zichen Hall with a stomach full of doubts.
But he soon didn't have to wonder, when the day was shining, he received two thunderbolts on a sunny day, which almost made him faint to the ground!
The first news was about Guo Qin, the captain of the tiger capital. Since the assassins of Dingyuan Temple were not caught, Emperor Chongde dismissed Guo Qin from his post as lieutenant on the charge of "ineffective work", and exiled him to Lingnan, limiting him to leave Jingzhao within three days.
Poor Guo Qin, when he told the matter of Dingyuan Temple in Zichen Palace, he was removed from his official position, and no matter how he cried and begged for grievances, Emperor Chongde ignored it.
Moreover, in addition to Guo Qin, Emperor Chongde also cleaned up many tiger generals and soldiers. These people, either the in-laws of the Cheng family or the old friends of the Jiang family, are more or less attached to the East Palace.
The generals and soldiers who were attached to the East Palace were cleared out of the Zichen Palace. This is a signal for the Dading court, a signal that the emperor is not satisfied with the prince, or a signal that the emperor beats the prince.
It's just that when the ministers of the DPRK and China heard this, it was difficult for them to react other than shock. They even wondered if there was someone else behind these people who were removed.
Otherwise, when the emperor was about to leave Jingzhao, why was there a signal of dissatisfaction with the prince? Maybe I'm mistaken.
However, the following news made this signal clear. All the Jingzhao courtiers knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince for some reason and wanted to limit the prince's power.
The news is: the emperor wants to set up a minister of supervision! This is the news that came out of the mouth of Chang Kang, the head of the inner chamberlain, and it is a sure thing.
According to the news, the emperor urgently summoned Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong into the palace, intending to set them up as ministers of supervision to assist the prince in handling government affairs.
I heard that Pei and Xue have already responded to the order, and now the Zhongshu Province is already drafting the edict, and the matter of the minister of supervision will soon be made public.
The crown prince has been appointed in the court, and if the emperor leaves Jingzhao, he will be the prince in charge of the country and handle the affairs of the court on behalf of the emperor. But what does it mean that there are now two more ministers of the state to discuss politics together?
Does the emperor trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or do you not trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
And the reason why the emperor would do this, not many people know, even Zhu Xuanming himself doesn't know!
Zhu Xuanming was shocked and frightened, he only felt that his mind was in turmoil, and he wanted to ask Emperor Chongde why he had such a decision, and he wanted to ask why Emperor Chongde treated him like this, and wanted to know ...... Whether Emperor Chongde was disgusted with him.
His whole person was in a daze, and he didn't even have the courage to go to the Zichen Hall to see Emperor Chongde. (To be continued......)
