Chapter 366: Deposing the Crown Prince
It's still the hour.
Fu Xiaoguan of Hanling Temple has finished answering today's question, but today's court meeting in Juhua Hall has not ended.
The atmosphere in the huge Juhua Hall was extremely solemn.
Emperor Wen did not sit, he stood on the dragon platform, his face was resolute, and his words were sonorous:
"Wu Qian has been in charge of the East Palace since the sixth year of Wenli, and now four years have passed. In the past four years, I have worked hard to support them. Wen Youwen Xingzhou is the prince and the prince, and Wu Youbei Wangchuan is carefully taught. But what does he look like now? ”
"Wen can't understand the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics, Wu has just entered the third rate at the end of the year!"
"This is the prince you recommended to me!"
"This is the prince who thinks about going to Liuyuntai in Shili Pinghu all day long, and never forgets the singer Yanque'er!"
"Does he have half a branch in his heart? Does he have half a thought in his heart to share his worries for his father? ”
Emperor Wen took a deep breath, looked at the black pressure below a group of civil and military ministers with hanging heads, and sighed, "He...... Nothing but eating, drinking, and merrymaking! ”
"Now he's fourteen, and he's still so unbearable, I'm ...... Disappointed, I thought day and night, if this huge Wu Dynasty was handed over to such an absurd and incompetent king, what would this Wu Dynasty become? ”
"Now Xiao Yan's sin has been understood. The big Buddha in Hanling Temple has exceeded the number of people by 4,000! ”
"For the sake of one's own interests, regardless of the lives of the people, it is really crazy!"
"With such a mother, do you still think how good her son can be?"
"Therefore, I have decided to depose the prince!"
There was silence below, and the pins could be heard, but almost all the ministers were now discolored.
Depose the Prince!
King Ning is dead, and His Majesty is left with a daughter, Wu Zhao, and this prince is abolished...... Could it be that His Majesty really wants to hand over this country to the hands of that illegitimate son?
Right Xiangzhuo and his entourage stepped forward and stood up.
He bowed his hand and said slowly: "The old minister thinks that His Majesty still needs to think twice about this matter. ”
"I've thought about it ten times!"
"Your Majesty is angry, please listen to the old minister."
Zhuo and his entourage raised their heads, he looked at Emperor Wen, and said, "Although the prince is fourteen, he still has six years before he is weakly crowned. Your Majesty is now in his prime, and there is enough time for the prince to grow. Although the current prince has absurd behavior, he asks himself, who has not been young? ”
He slowly turned to face the ministers, "I was just as romantic when I was young, but is this the prince's fault?" No, the old minister thinks that this is not only not an exclamation, but this is also the embodiment of the prince's temperament. ”
He turned to face Emperor Wen again, "The fault of the Xiao family has nothing to do with the crown prince, and the minister thinks that even if His Majesty cuts the Xiao family with a thousand knives, he should not be angry with His Royal Highness the crown prince." People in the rivers and lakes say that the disaster will not affect the family, and the old minister took the liberty to say that this temple should also be in trouble for his children and grandchildren. ”
"The old minister still remembers that in the second year of Wenli, His Majesty personally abolished the law of the nine clans sitting together, how did it fall on the crown prince's head, and His Majesty changed his mind?"
Zhuo and his entourage shook it to the end and said loudly: "For the stability of the Wu Dynasty, the old minister hopes that His Majesty will take back his life!" ”
As soon as he said this, many ministers behind him knelt down, and at the same time shouted: "Your Majesty please take back your order!" ”
Emperor Wen glared angrily, he gritted his teeth and roared: "This son is unbearable, you want to bury my Wu Dynasty!" ”
Zhuo and his entourage stood up straight, staring at Emperor Wen as well, and never backed down at all: "Please think about it, is it possible that Your Majesty has the idea of being a generation of Ming Jun when he is fourteen years old?" The old minister remembered that His Majesty ascended the throne at the age of 20 and did not begin to work hard until he was 25 years old. The crown prince is still eleven years away from the age of twenty-five, why does His Majesty think that the crown prince will not change in these eleven years? ”
"You old thing knows a fart! He is my son, the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, I have spent four years to see, I have seen the essence of his uselessness! ”
"Your Majesty's words are biased, not to mention that there was a prodigal son in the past, and now the prince is really at fault for what he did? Definitely! What His Majesty thinks, this Manchu Dynasty knows both civil and military. Forgive the old minister for saying a word of great rebellion, even if Fu Xiaoguan is the son of His Majesty, he is also an illegitimate child! Even if he enters the Golden Book, he is not qualified to become the crown prince of this great martial dynasty! ”
This is a resounding statement!
Emperor Wen's face was as cold as freezing.
He stared at Zhuo and his party, but Zhuo and his party did not back down.
There was silence again, as if a black cloud was pressing down.
Emperor Wen suddenly smiled gloomily: "You old thing is right, Fu Xiaoguan is indeed my son!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers who hung their heads suddenly raised their heads.
The matter of Fu Xiaoguan's life experience has long been rumored in this Guanyun City, but His Majesty has never talked about it in this court.
His Majesty's sudden decision to depose the crown prince today has already released a clear signal, and all the ministers are basically sure that Fu Xiaoguan is His Majesty's son, but at this moment, listening to His Majesty's own words, this shock still makes them unbelievable.
"I might as well tell you that on the ninth day of the fourth month, I have arranged for Qin Tianjian to be worshipped, and I will bring Fu Xiaoguan with me."
"Shhhh......h The ministers gasped, and only three of them were calm all the time.
They are Nangong Yiyu, the left minister, Lu Chunfeng, the supervisor of Qintian, and Zhou Tongtong, the master of Tianji Pavilion.
Emperor Wen's face showed a touch of mockery, he still looked at Zhuo and his party, and said again: "Moreover, after the end of the sacrifice, April 15 is a good day and auspicious day, I will take Fu Xiaoguan into the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors, and leave his name in the golden book, and in the future, he will be called Wu Xiaoguan." Old horseman, I also want to tell you that the tomb of Xu Yunqing will be moved to the Imperial Mausoleum of Jiugong Mountain, where I can enjoy the incense of the Taimiao Temple and establish a ...... Queen's Mausoleum! ”
Zhuo and his entourage turned pale at this moment, and he knelt down with a puff, his forehead "bang......!" He slammed into the ground:
"Your Majesty, never!"
"There is only one queen in my heart, Xu Yunqing! The prince in my heart has only one military officer! Don't think that I don't know about the assassination of Fu Xiaoguan, I don't care about you in your hard work for this Wu Dynasty Society, you actually want to gain an inch! ”
"Your Majesty! Even if His Majesty and Xu Yunqing were in love with each other back then, Xu Yunqing married Fu Daguan after all! If she deserves to enjoy the Taimiao and enter the queen's mausoleum, where is the gift of the Wu Dynasty? Where is the face of the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty? What's more, whether Fu Xiaoguan is His Majesty's son or not, this is still unknown, the three-year living record has been lost, how can Your Majesty prove that he is your son? How do you convince this Manchu civil and military force? How to convince the people of the Wu Dynasty? ”
The group of kneeling ministers suddenly shouted again: "Your Majesty, the heart of the right phase can be learned from heaven and earth, I hope that Your Majesty will take back your life!" ”
At this time, a shout came from the side door of the Juhua Palace: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
