The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

King Duan, who had been summoned, hurriedly walked to the door of the imperial study, looked at Wei Jian who was standing at the door, and asked, "Is my father inside?" ”

Wei Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for His Highness for a long time. ”

King Kang had just been deposed as the prince, and he was immediately summoned, and although King Duan did not know what was going on with this summons, he had a feeling of great joy.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and strode into the hall.

Wei Jian didn't follow up this time, watched King Duan walk in, silently closed the door of the palace, and guarded the door.

King Duan walked into the imperial study, and saw that there was no eunuch in the palace, only Emperor Chen sat above, he walked to the palace, bowed down and said, "Father." ”

Emperor Chen put down the piece in his hand, looked at him, and said, "Come up and sit." ”

Duan Wang found out that a chair was placed opposite Emperor Chen, and for the first time in so many years, he had the opportunity to sit face to face with his father.

After he sat down nervously, Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "Your brother King Kang has withheld ordnance and allocated silver, as a prince, he is involved in the politics of salt and iron, which is not tolerated by the law, and I have no choice but to depose him, what do you think about this?" ”

King Duan immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Erchen must take this as a warning, do his part well, and never trespass ......"

"Sit down." Emperor Chen nodded, looked at him, and said, "You don't have to be like him, this world, I will be handed over to you sooner or later, all this will be yours, and you don't need to use these means......"

When Duan Wang heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously stood up, his face was in a trance, and he didn't believe his ears.

After fighting with King Kang for so many years, he waited for this sentence for too long, and when he really waited, it felt like a dream.

King Kang was defeated, and he was about to become the future crown prince and the future emperor, ......, but he obviously didn't do anything, let alone make such preparations.

Finally came back to his senses, he looked at Emperor Chen, and said quickly: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie, Emperor ......"

Chen Huang looked at his excited and uncontrollable appearance, shook his head, and said, "Sit down." ”

Duan Wang sat down again, his eyes flashed, his fist in his sleeve clenched and released, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "I summoned you here today because I have something to say to you." ”

King Duan said solemnly: "Father, please speak." ”

Emperor Chen said: "I have decided to pass on the throne to you, but I will not immediately crown you as the crown prince, in the next few days, you have to be more diligent than before, make an example to the hundred officials, and use your achievements to tell them that I am not wrong." ”

King Duan said respectfully: "Erchen remembers his father's teachings, and he will work diligently in the future to not disappoint his father." ”

Emperor Chen nodded, and said, "When you get to my position, you will understand some things, but there are some things that I hope you will understand now." ”

When he said this, his tone became serious, and Duanwang's expression became solemn.

"As a monarch, you should have a broad mind, and a narrow-minded person will not be a good emperor." Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "In the past two years, your party has suffered heavy losses at the hands of Tang Ning, do you hate him?" ”

When King Duan heard this, his expression froze.

Emperor Chen continued to ask: "Do you think that the day you ascend the throne will be the time to find him to settle accounts?" ”

King Duan opened his mouth, "Erchen, Erchen......"

"You want to be the emperor, and the people closest to you are the people of the world, not a certain family, let alone a certain person!" Emperor Chen looked at him and said in a deep voice: "If every emperor thinks like you, then what's the use of the Imperial Historical Tower, and what's the use of the Manchu Dynasty's officials and ministers?" ”

Under the pressure of Emperor Chen's momentum, the cold sweat on Duanwang's forehead broke out, and he didn't dare to speak.

"A Tang Ning, who brought ten years of tax money from the treasury to the treasury from Jiangnan, rectified Jiangnan, exterminated the anti-thieves, eliminated the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the six departments, and proposed the law of strengthening the country and the army, isn't such a person worthy of your reuse?"

"Or do you think that such a minister is not as good as a wealthy family who can only plant party members in the court and control the government?"

"Do you want an important minister who can help you support the society, or do you want an uncle who controls the government and fights for power with you?"

……

King Duan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen is confused, thank you for ......waking up."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Sit down, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

After King Duan sat upright, he arched his hand and said, "The sons and daughters respectfully listen to the teachings of the emperor......

……

Today's atmosphere in Beijing is a little depressing, although the news of King Kang's deposition has not been announced to the world, but the news of Manjing has spread all over the past few days.

King Kang's prince became the heir, and he was almost exiled to Shuozhou, which was in response to the ballad of "the ship is not standardized, and the throne is not half", but this time his throne is not half gone, but all gone.

The heir is not qualified to compete for the throne, and after leaving the Jingshi, he will never want to come back, after today, everyone can already foresee that the position that is at least supreme, King Duan has already sat halfway.

It's ridiculous to say, because he lost the throne because of a small boat collision incident, this His Royal Highness King Kang should be the most aggrieved prince in the history of Chen Guo.

With such good news, the Tang family is still cold, these days the Tang Mansion refuses to accept foreign guests, even the guests who come to visit today are turned away.

It is also strange to say that when the Tang family was at its most prosperous, it suffered blows again and again and gradually declined.

And now the Tang family, which is low-key, has quietly completed its biggest goal and has become a family that no one dares to provoke anymore.

In the Tang Mansion, the old man with a broken arm stood behind Tang Huai and whispered: "When King Kang arrives in Shuozhou, I will find an opportunity to make him disappear completely." ”

Tang Huai said calmly: "Do it cleanly, don't leave it behind." ”

The old man looked at him and asked, "If King Kang has an accident in Shuozhou, will His Majesty suspect it?" ”

Tang Huai looked at him and said, "So let your hands and feet be cleaner, His Royal Highness King Kang is pampered in Beijing, and when you go to a place like Shuozhou, you can't adapt to the water and soil, and you die, isn't it normal?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "I understand." ”

He turned his head and was about to leave, Tang Qi walked in from outside with a solemn face and said, "There have been some changes, King Kang doesn't have to go to Shuozhou." ”

Tang Huai looked at him with a slight frown.

Tang Qi looked at him and explained, "King Kang committed suicide. ”

Tang Huai said: "Dead? ”

"Almost." Tang Qi shook his head and said: "I was rescued by the imperial doctor, Your Majesty went to King Kang's Mansion to see it, it is said that he was asked to stay in Beijing for the time being, recuperate his body, and do not need to go to Shuozhou......"

"Bitter meat plan...... Tang Huai looked out the window and said, "Don't give up yet......"

"Don't bother with Downing for now." Tang Huai shook his head and said, "Let the surnamed Xu stare at King Kang and see what he wants to do?" ”

Tang Qi nodded and said, "I know." ”

According to the Tang family's plan, after the death of King Kang, the overall situation of the Beijing division has been decided, and the Tang family and Duanwang will no longer have opponents and obstacles in Beijing, and at that time, it will be time for the Tang family to recover those old accounts from Tang Ning.

As long as King Duan becomes the crown prince and can substantially participate in court politics, dealing with a powerful minister is nothing at all.

However, I don't know who gave King Kang such a desperate idea, and he actually used self-suicide to win His Majesty's sympathy, so that he was saved from going to Shuozhou and was able to stay in Beijing.

Even if he has become the heir, he is still the eldest prince, if King Kang does not leave, the Tang family and King Duan will never be at ease, and before that, they will not do anything to Tang Ning.

If King Kang is given a chance, everything they have done before will be wasted.

When Tang Qi walked out of the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's really lucky......"
