β€”β€”β€”β€” the following textβ€”β€”β€”β€”

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, on the same day, the team of worshipping the heavens returned to the palace, and several rumors spread in Daliang City.

And these rumors are almost the same, nothing more than an allusion to the fact that the prince of the East Palace, who assisted Wei Tianzi to preside over the ceremony of worshipping the heavens and recited the sacrifice in public, was shallow in benevolence and was not liked by the Heavenly Father, so that the Heavenly Father covered the words on the sacrifice with "divine power", so that the Prince of the East Palace Hongli almost made a fool of himself in public.

Later, the sound of nearly 100,000 people under the Temple of Heaven hearing the recitation of the sacrificial text did not come from the mouth of the prince of the East Palace, but someone else.

I have to say that the truth of this rumor is infinitely close to the truth, who spread this rumor, I believe that as long as there are some insightful people, a little guess can guess.

It's nothing more than the few princes who are competing for the throne with the prince of the East Palace.

In fact, even Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, who stabilized his mind, guessed a few points on the way back to the palace.

But even so, he didn't have the time to confront Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing and a few other brothers who were competing for the throne with him on the spot, because all the princes called Wei Tianzi to the vertical arch hall after returning to the palace, and they were suffering from Wei Tianzi's monstrous anger.

"What a guts! What a daring! ”

I remember that as soon as Wei Tianzi arrived at the Vertical Arch Palace, he began to go berserk, angrily slapping the dragon case again and again, and angrily scolding the group of sons in front of him.

"At the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, at this such an important ceremony of worshipping the heavens. You've actually brought me a roommate. …… What is your celestial ceremony?! Didn't you never think that there were nearly 100,000 people of my Great Wei watching under the Temple of Heaven at that time? The face of my Ji clan and the face of the court was almost lost because of one of you! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Donggong Prince Hongli, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, as well as the Seven Princes Hongyin and the Ninth Emperor Hongxuan, these seven princes all honestly knelt in front of the dragon case. He lowered his head and said nothing.

"What the hell is going on with me? Depressed!'

Zhao Hongrun, who is very innocent, muttered secretly in his heart, but at this moment, he is not good at acting rashly, after all, his father is very angry, if he jumps out and says a few words, in case he angers the father, it is simply sent to the door for his father to beat, and he will be the "chicken" in the monkey in vain.

As he guessed, Wei Tianzi's eyes. Glance back and forth among the three princes of Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing and Qingwang Hongxin, because it is obvious that these three are the masters who will design to frame the prince of the East Palace because of the struggle for the throne.

"Who is it? Which one of you designed to frame the Prince?! ”

Wei Tianzi slapped the dragon case again and said angrily.

And for this father's questioning, Zhao Hongrun simply scoffed in his heart.

"Father, you're too naΓ―ve, aren't you? Thought that someone would admit it if you asked a few words casually? Hey!'

Zhao Hongrun shook his head silently.

You must know that the war between the prince and the prince for the throne is different from the general political battle, just take what happened at today's worship ceremony, Zhao Hongrun is ninety percent sure that his second brother Yongwang Hongyu did it. But so what?

What about the evidence?

Don't say that Zhao Hongrun won't betray and report this King Yong, even if he does so. Just by that empty sacrificial text, can it be concluded that it was Yongwang Hongyu?

Don't forget, this sacrificial text was written by Prince Hongli's staff, and then it was controlled by Prince Hongli's Zongwei Feng Shu, and King Yong's people never handled it. What kind of evidence is this?

And this is also the reason why Zhao Hongrun secretly admires the beauty of Yongwang Hongyu.

The only flaw is probably only an official in the Ministry of Rites who was bought or recruited by King Yong's reputation.

In Zhao Hongrun's opinion, nine times out of ten, the official took advantage of people's inattention and secretly dropped special ink. So much so that Luo Ying was not bad for a while, and used the ink that would gradually fade to write the sacrificial text to be recited at today's ritual, which almost caused the prince of the East Palace to make a fool of himself.

But the problem is, who will remember which official of the Ministry of Rites secretly changed the ink, something like ink that is not usually paid much attention to?

Moreover, taking a step back, even if the official of the Ministry of Rites was caught and testified against King Yong's reputation, the latter could deny it.

The prince is a prince after all, and he has some special treatment, and the so-called "prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people", in fact, it is just to coax the scholars and the people, unless the prince commits treason, rebellion and other unpardonable crimes.

To put it bluntly, even if Wei Tianzi suspected that today's incident was committed by King Yongwang Hongyu, he would not be sent to the Criminal Department to be tortured and interrogated, at most he would scare and threaten.

If you can't scare the truth, at best, it will seem to be a heavy punishment, but in fact, it will be punished painlessly, for example, the prince of the Yongwang Mansion for half a year or something.

The dignified Yongwang Hongyu, the popular candidate for the throne, will he care about that little bit of money? Like a prince of his status, some high-ranking officials and nobles took the initiative to send money to the door in order to cling to his high branch.

Some people may ask, what if the truth is scaremed?

Oh, if you scare the truth, then you will be punished according to the ancestral rules of the Ji family.

In addition, it seems that this kind of prince who only has this pitiful courage will inevitably be removed from the list of candidates for the throne by Wei Tianzi.

So, sometimes it's ironic.

And Yongwang Hongyu and other princes obviously knew this way, and in the face of Wei Tianzi's angry questioning, they lowered their heads and didn't say a word, letting Wei Tianzi shout angrily there.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! …… Do you want the whole world to come and see my Ji joke?! …… I know very well that you are all staring at the position of the crown prince, but ...... I never imagined that you would be so bold and reckless, and dare to play conspiracy and trickery at the Heaven Worship Ceremony......"

And from the side, Prince Hongli watched Wei Tianzi angrily teach his brothers, and a happy expression couldn't help but appear on his face, not to mention, today's incident really scared him half to death.

Recalling that he was holding the empty sacrificial text in his hand at that time, his face turned pale with fright, and the more he thought about it, the more he hated, and he couldn't help but say next to him: "Father, the emperor thinks that the second brother and the others have exceeded the rules in today's actions. ”

"Stupid...... At this time, you still want to fall into the well? You can't protect yourself, right?'

Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips secretly.

Sure enough, hearing the words of the crown prince Hongli, Wei Tianzi's angry eyes suddenly fell on the prince of the East Palace, and scolded angrily: "I haven't come to see you yet!" …… It is your man who writes the prayers; The one who sent the sacrifice is also your person. But you have some people playing tricks right under your nose and making an empty sacrificial text! …… You, the prince of the East Palace, can't even keep a sacrificial text, how can you protect my Great Wei Ji Clan?! ”

I have to say that Wei Tianzi's tone was quite heavy, and he almost pointed at the nose of the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, and scolded him, "You waste prince who can't even keep a sacrificial document!"

"Look......

Zhao Hongrun shook his head wordlessly, looked at the prince of the East Palace Hongli with some speechlessness, turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

Wei Tianzi scolded a stick of incense, and the anger in his heart slowly subsided, only to see him coldly glance at the prince Hongli, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing and Qingwang Hongxin, snorted coldly and scolded: "Hongli is incompetent, you are not virtuous, how can I give birth to a son like you!" …… Could it be that my position has made you dizzy?! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"in the same room, calculating with each other, I don't know what I'm doing all day long! With this energy, why don't you use it to make my Great Wei richer and stronger?! ”

"Father's anger ......"

Prince Hongli, King Yongwang Hongyu and others gradually realized that their father's anger seemed to be unusually great today, and they all lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes in unison.

After pacing in the hall for a while, Wei Tianzi seemed to have made some decision, and said coldly: "Okay! Aren't you all staring at where I am? I'm going to give you a chance today! …… Putting aside the order of the young and the old for the time being, what I want is a Ming Jun who can make my Great Wei richer and stronger! After that, Wei Tianzi paused, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, all the princes who leave the cabinet will choose a division from the six departments to be on an errand, and I will specially send the imperial history supervisor to evaluate the political performance once a year, if one of them does a good job, what does it matter if I give him this position?" ”

Hearing this, Prince Hongli's face was full of consternation.

What does Wei Tianzi's words mean? It means that he will not be able to sit back and reap the harvest and wait for the throne to be sent to the door by himself.

However, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongyu, and Qingwang Hongjing all showed surprise and disbelief.

This...... Wei Tianzi is giving them a chance?

Even King Yong's reputation, which is quite good at self-cultivation, has a few surprises on his face uncontrollably at this time.

This is really a deliberate planting of flowers and flowers, unintentionally planted willows and willows, I am afraid that King Yongwang Hongyu did not expect that although the ceremony of worshipping the sky did not bring down the prince of the East Palace, nor did it succeed in separating the relationship between the prince Hongli and his staff Luo Ying, but he got a greater harvest.

That is, to compete fairly with the crown prince Hongli and the rest of the brothers for the throne, and everything is based on the merits of the government.

And the most surprised was Zhao Hongrun, at this time, he seemed to have been dumbfounded.

"Who is the prince who leaves the cabinet......?"

Carefully muttering Wei Tianzi's words in his heart, Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened slowly, and he faintly felt a slight coolness rising up his back, making him feel creepy.

With a stirring spirit, he hurriedly asked tentatively: "Father, what you just said about 'the prince who is out of the cabinet' does not include the emperor, right?" …… Father and all the royal brothers know that the emperor has no interest in the throne......"

Wei Tianzi turned his head suddenly, glared at Zhao Hongrun quite fiercely, and scolded angrily: "You, are you out of the cabinet?!" ”

"I ......"

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Because just the day before yesterday, he got a promise from Wei Tianzi, and he left the cabinet......

In addition, he also has his own Suwang Mansion......

"I'll it!"

Zhao Hongrun almost spurted out a mouthful of blood in anger. (To be continued.) )
