Chapter 11: Dethronement

As Wei Wuyi stood up, many ministers in the court were frightened, for fear that Wei Wuyi would be talking about himself.

"Weichen Qiqi Emperor, in recent days, the old minister found that the prince was obsessed with seeking immortals and asked, without learning poetry and etiquette, it seems that practicing martial arts is also wasted, and Weichen has the courage to affirm that the emperor warned the prince."

Wei Wuyi said, then lowered his head and waited for the emperor's reply.

But as soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were shaken.

As a courtier, he dared to accuse the prince so much in the court, not to force the emperor to abolish the prince.

As soon as these words came out, a princeling party immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, Wei Wuyi has committed such a crime, and he dares to slander the prince like this, and the minister implores the emperor to severely punish this bureaucracy to set an example!"

The person who spoke was the head of the household.

As soon as these words came out, many ministers immediately stood up and echoed them.

In this regard, Emperor Wei looked at the arguing ministers in the court, and asked lightly: "Zhao Ji, I don't know what you think of this matter?" ”

Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard that the emperor would ask him about this matter, this kind of question should not be asked to himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ji had a slight idea in his heart, and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thinks that although Lord Wei is the head of the prison guard, he naturally has to speak with a purpose, and if there is no evidence, the empty slander of the prince will naturally be severely punished." ”

Everyone present was a little surprised, they didn't expect Zhao Ji to say good things to the crown prince Li Chengde, you must know that he is the grandfather of the second prince Li Chengliang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ji changed his words.

"However, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really as Lord Wei said, please ask the emperor to decide, after all, the crown prince is the prince of a country, if it is really like this, I am afraid it is not appropriate."

As Zhao Ji's words turned, everyone shouted in their hearts, and it was really so.

knew that Zhao Ji, the old fox, would not be able to stand on the prince's side.

And although the second half of the sentence is just inappropriate, it brings up the matter of the prince, and it is clear that if the matter is true, then I am afraid that whether this prince can be a prince is open to discussion.

In this regard, the princelings naturally refuted again and again, and a war of words once again caused in the court.

In this regard, Wei Huang and Wei Wuyi did not speak, and it was not until a long time later that Wei Huang did not speak.

"I already know about this matter, do you think it is appropriate to punish the prince?"

As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition suddenly quieted down, and the needle drop could be heard, which formed a sharp contrast with the chaotic court just now.

"Hmph, when you were convicted, you were very noisy one by one, treating this court as if it was a vegetable market, and now you are convicted, but you are all dumb, so what use do I want you to have?"

The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed.

The ministers knelt on the ground one by one, shouting that they didn't dare, for fear that they would touch the emperor's moldy head and fall to the ground.

Emperor Wei sighed slightly: "Gonggong Li, announce the decree!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that the emperor had called on him, Gonggong Li, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly stood up and took out the holy decree that had been prepared.

As soon as the content came out, everyone in the court was either surprised or panicked, and so on.

"Your Majesty, you can't, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a small mistake, he will not be deposed, please think twice!"

Regarding this matter, the second prince and the third prince's party were naturally happy to see it, but their hearts were also full of doubts.

The crown prince was the emperor's favorite prince before, why did he say that he would be deposed today.

Zhao Ji, as one of the three princes, was also a little puzzled at this time, but he hesitated for a while, but he still echoed and said: "Please ask the emperor to think twice!" ”

"The deposition of the eldest prince has been decided, and whoever dares to discuss it again will not be spared."

The emperor seemed to be annoyed by the quarrel of the ministers, and immediately said angrily.

"Your Majesty, if you want the prince to go north to conquer and pacify the Xiliang Kingdoms, is this kind of credit not worth a fairy ask? The minister implored the emperor to think twice, the eldest son can't be abolished! ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, an old minister blew his beard and glared at him, and he gave advice with a sad look.

"Okay, you Wei Zheng, if it's something else, I'll be fine, today I'm in the foreword, you dare to do this, I really can't kill you?"

Emperor Wei glared at Wei Zheng angrily, and there seemed to be a thick anger suppressed in his voice.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Wei Zheng didn't say anything else, just shouted like this, and bowed to the ground.

"Come on, drag Wei Zheng out and behead me!"

At this point, Emperor Wei did not hesitate at all, and directly called the guards in front of the palace to come, and dragged Wei Zheng out to be killed.

Zhao Ji didn't expect such a situation to happen, and hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter must not happen!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, by all means! Wei Lao is the elder of my dynasty, he is iron-clad, and he has countless advice, and I ask the emperor to bypass him for the sake of his old age and decrepitness! ”

At this point, the officials of the six ministries also hurriedly pleaded, and the rest of the people also made the same request.

"Either way, no matter what."

Emperor Wei paused for a moment, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, you are really arrogant, but don't talk about the prince's deposition." ”

said a hundred years of greetings, and directly put Wei Zheng out.

A court meeting made the ministers unaware of what the prince had done, and he would let the emperor abolish it directly.

What's more, he was expelled from the palace directly.

If it's just scrapped, it's at least a little safer in the palace, but once you leave the palace, it's unpredictable.

They couldn't imagine why the emperor was so ruthless.

At this time, the guards and palace maids in the East Palace were even more panicked after learning the news, and hurriedly sent messages to the prince one by one.

"What's so strange about this, isn't it just a prince, what's so good, what I want - it's immortality!"

After just being stunned, Li Chengde understood, after all, he had already said in the imperial study yesterday that he would give up the throne, so it was fine.

Immediately, he pretended to be crazy and stupid.

The guards and palace maids naturally didn't dare to say anything, but they were thinking in their hearts, the eldest prince was really crazy, and he was obsessed with seeking immortality.

In the court that has always perished, which generation of kings did not seek immortality and ruined the country in life, no wonder the emperor would depose the crown prince.

As the crown princess, Xiliang naturally heard about it.

"Niangniang, how good is this matter, although Li Chengde is a little indifferent, he never imagined that he would indulge in asking for immortals and asking for immortality, and he wants to live forever."

Bai Yun said that he did not understand this.

"Since we don't know, then let's go and ask."

Xiliang said with a smile, as if he didn't care about whether Li Chengde was the prince or not.
