Chapter 252: The Emperor angrily reprimanded the three princes
Why can Chen Xiao be tolerated, but not the three princes?
This made the three princes horrified.
That is, what did he do that the emperor could not tolerate?
He was horrified and a little scared at the same time.
Seeing that he did not speak or be in a hurry, the emperor waited quietly.
The third prince was silent for a moment and spoke:
"Father, if the son does something wrong, please ...... Father said it directly! ”
"Aren't I asking you right now?" The Emperor frowned.
"This ...... Erchen ...... Ignorance! The third prince spoke.
The emperor snorted: "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" You know it in your own heart! ”
The three princes bowed their heads, still silent!
The emperor said angrily:
"Okay, then I'll tell you. The reason why I can tolerate and connive at Chen Xiao is because Chen Xiao will never do anything that harms the people and humiliates the court.
He does things, has his own bottom line, has his own reason, this truth can convince anyone, and it is impossible for me to be really angry with him in my heart! ”
The Three Princes continued to be silent, and the Emperor looked at the Three Princes and continued:
"But what about you? What about your bottom line? ”
The third prince buried his head very low.
The emperor said: "At the beginning, you were angry for avenging your mother and going against Chen Xiao, I can understand it, but what did you do?
Take the matter of the household department rectifying the inability to get money and food, and forcibly blame Chen Xiao, as a prince, don't you think it's ridiculous that you do this? ”
The head of the third prince is lower!
"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, but Chen Xiao pits you, are you happy? I know this better than anyone else, but I just don't want to help you, because you deserve it! ”
Taking a deep breath, the emperor shook his head: "Let's not talk about these first, I will directly say the main point, do you admit that the prefect of Shunning Mansion and Chen Xiao are right, is it your instruction?" ”
The third prince was shocked and said, "Father, son...... Not...... There is no ......"
"Third child, don't you think that I am a fool......" The emperor was a little angry!
The third prince was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "The sons don't dare, the father, the sons...... Confused for a while, begging my father to calm his anger! ”
"Heh, I'm still the same sentence, you're the prince. But what did you do? In order to go against Chen Xiao, you actually let people hinder him from disaster relief. Do you know that you are indirectly harming those people by doing this?
Do you know you're doing something stupid? Are you doing this against Chen Xiao? You are against the country, against the people, against the court, and against me! ”
In the last few words, the emperor almost shouted, and smashed a teacup violently, so frightened that the hearts of the three princes almost jumped out!
The Emperor calmed down and continued:
"Fortunately, he Chen Xiao has the ability to solve your trick easily, and he did not let the people in the disaster area suffer more, nor did he expand his influence.
Otherwise, if it is really because of your selfishness, there will be problems in disaster relief in the disaster area, I will not be stupid enough to blame Chen Xiao, I will kill you! ”
The old eunuch was stunned, he rarely saw the emperor make such a big fire, and he was also a little overwhelmed at the moment!
The third prince was already so frightened that the whole person was stunned.
To be honest, he didn't think it would be so serious!
"Father...... Father, son, the minister knows that he is wrong, he knows that he is wrong...... I'm sorry for my father......"
The emperor snorted coldly: "I'm sorry? It's yourself who you're sorry for. In addition, you should thank Chen Xiao for his selflessness and for solving the disaster relief problem fairly.
Otherwise, if he deliberately fails to complete the disaster relief mission because of your targeting, he will bring the prefect back to testify against you. How can you afford this sabotage and disaster relief, which is related to the survival of one or two million people? ”
The third prince was shocked and speechless.
"Alas...... How did I give birth to a group of sons like you? One is more stupid than the other, all are stupid, all are stupid! "The emperor scolded angrily!
The old eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is important......
"Yes, father, the son knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to punish ...... by his father" The third prince was already frightened.
The emperor snorted: "Of course I will punish you, you listen to me, from now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace, stay in the attic of your mother's concubine, and after a while, I will give you the title of king, you ...... Get out of the palace for me and open up the palace by myself! ”
Hearing this, the third prince raised his head suddenly, wanting to say something, but he ...... I feel like my throat is clogged and I can't speak!
In the Dragon Kingdom, the prince was crowned king, and there was nothing too special about it.
One is that when the age is reached, it is time to be crowned king.
The second is that he is very capable, and the emperor wants to make him king and acquiesce to go out and expand his power.
The third is that the emperor doesn't want to see this prince and doesn't want to see him, so he sends him out of the palace and makes him the king!
However, so far, among the emperor's sons, only the eldest prince and the second prince have been crowned kings.
The eldest prince went to the northern border pass a few years ago, guarding the border pass, and his ability is very strong, and he is obviously crowned king because the emperor values it.
The second prince has always been in the south, and there are many disasters in the south, so he replaces the imperial court and manages the disasters in various places, and his ability is also very strong. When he was crowned king, it was self-evident because of his ability.
As a result, when he came to the third prince, it was because he did something wrong, and the emperor gave him the title of king like driving him out of the house, can it be the same?
If at the beginning, there was such a big gap in the standards of the king's capital, then in the future, how could he compete with the eldest prince and the second prince for the yellow position?
"Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and he wants to serve his father in the palace, don't drive the son out of the palace......"
The third prince knew very well in his heart that this kind of person who was driven out because the emperor was angry might be difficult to gain favor in the future.
Therefore, he would rather continue to be in the palace, so that in front of the emperor, he can slowly improve the emperor's attitude.
The emperor didn't let him continue, waved his hand and said, "I'm very disappointed in you, so be it." You go down, go to Chen Xiao and apologize to him! ”
"Parent ......"
"Get out!"
The third prince was too frightened to say more, so he quickly kowtowed and left.
Although he was very unconvinced, he didn't dare not listen to the emperor's words, so he could only make a bitter face and prepare to find Chen Xiao.
At this time, the Seven Princes came out of nowhere.
"Brother Sanhuang, what's wrong with you? Sad? ”
The third prince took a deep breath: "Get out!" ”
"What's wrong with you? As soon as Chen Xiao comes back, you feel uncomfortable? Oh, didn't you remember that he stunned your money? Alas, I understand, after all, it can be regarded as pit me for more than 200,000 taels of silver. ”
The third prince gritted his teeth: "Get out of ......"
"Brother Sanhuang, you tell me the truth, how did you solve the problem of money?"
The three princes clenched their fists, even if they were half-brothers, they wanted to kill this fool at this moment!
But he held back and headed out of the palace!
"Third Emperor Brother, where are you going?" The Seventh Prince asked.
"Tell me, or I'll follow!"
The third prince's body trembled, he couldn't say that he went to Chen Xiao to apologize, right?
Think about it for a moment and say, "My money...... It's borrowed......"
The Seventh Prince: "Hahaha, I knew you borrowed it too." ”
The third prince thought that this matter was over and was about to leave.
Who knew that the Seventh Prince still followed: "Where did you borrow it?" I'll go too! ”
