Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, issued a "letter of guilt", taking all the blame for the crimes of the Northern First Army on himself, and asked the Vertical Arch Hall to exempt himself from the title of "prince", which surprised the government and the opposition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Clever!"

After seeing Zhao Hongli's guilty book, Wei Tianzi nodded approvingly, of course, he was not praising the prince of the East Palace, after all, the "guilty book", its literary style and rhetoric, at a glance, you can know that it is from Luo Ying's handwriting.

——At the same time,Yongwangfu——

Yongwang Hongyu looked at the "book of sin" and muttered: "The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiff...... This Luo Ying, who is really a genius, actually used this trick to retreat into advance, and the prince of the East Palace, who was about to die, was revived again. ”

Hearing this, the strategist Zhang Qigong said lightly: "To be exact, it is the former prince of the East Palace. ”

"Hehe......" Yongwang Hongyu chuckled twice, turned his head and asked Zhang Qigong: "You don't seem to care much about Luo Ying?" ”

Zhang Qigong shook his head when he heard this, and said: "No, Luo Ying is Wang Zuozhicai, and I admire him very much." …… He used the title of "Crown Prince" to dismantle the alliance between Your Highness and King Xiang and King Qing. ”

"Yes......" King Yong sighed faintly.

- At the same time, Su Wangfu -

"Humph......"

King Su Zhao Hongrun looked at the 'Book of Guilt' expressionlessly, a few different colors flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "There is a good gunman with excellent literary talents, it is really convenient, the stone can tell the flowers......" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the Zongwei Changwei Wei Jiao, and asked: "Wen Qi did you say when you want to return to Daliang?" ”

Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao shook his head and said, "Mr. Wen is still busy settling those Chu people, there may be a few more months. ”

"Oh."

Zhao Hongrun nodded and stopped talking.

Since there is Wen Qi in the house, Zhao Hongrun no longer envies Luo Ying, the staff of the East Palace, after all, Wen Qi's talent and literary talent are comparable to Luo Ying.

And more importantly, Luo Ying secretly took Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan to Northern Xinjiang a few days ago, which made Zhao Hongrun very dissatisfied.

——At the same time,Qingwangfu——

"The Book of Sins...... It's really amazing, this Luo Ying, this can save Zhao Hongli in this way...... Scold. ”

Carefully reading the outstanding and beautifully written book of guilt, King Zhao Hongxin said to the Zong Wei beside him with great interest: "Send someone to contact this Luo Ying to see if he is willing to defect to this king." ”

"Yes!" Zong Wei clenched his fists and said.

——At the same time,Xiangwang Mansion——

"Haha, the guilt of the book...... What did the king say? Donggong won't fall so easily, no, there's still one breath left......"

Xiangwang Hongjing pinched the "book of guilt", licked his lips and muttered: "This Luo Ying easily disintegrated the secret alliance between the second and fifth children and this king, and he really deserves to be the ...... of the list in the sixteenth year of Hong De's scientific examination" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at a staff member dressed as a scribe beside him, and asked with a smile: "As the leader of Hong De's nineteenth year scientific examination, what does Mr. want to say?" ”

It turned out that the scribe next to Xiangwang Hongjing was actually Liu Jie, who ranked second in the nineteenth year of Hongde's scientific examination.

Facing Xiangwang Hongjing's inquiry, Liu Jie smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, now is not the time to use the 'handle of King Yong'. ”

"This king understands." Xiangwang Hongjing licked his lips and muttered: "If you want a person to fall to the ground more badly, you have to lift him to a high place in advance......

"Your Highness is wise." Liu Jie praised him.

The next day, Wei Tianzi announced to the world that he had deposed Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, from the title of prince.

Two days later, Zhao Hongli moved out of the East Palace, moved to live outside the palace with his wife and children, and the people of the Wang family prepared a mansion in the city.

Many people in the government and the opposition know about this matter, but many more people don't care about it.

After all, this time, Zhao Hongli took advantage of Luo Ying's good plan to breathe a sigh of relief, but in the final analysis, he, the former prince of the East Palace, can be regarded as losing power, and the negative public opinion against him in Daliang City has not been eliminated at this time, so it can be said that Zhao Hongli suddenly fell from a favorable candidate for the throne to the abyss, and became a marginal figure.

Although Zhao Hongli still has the support of his uncle Wang family, the former Donggong Party has become fragmented, and many aristocratic families who were originally dependent on Zhao Hongli gradually have other ideas.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongli is destined to have no improvement in recent years.

But no matter what, Zhao Hongli continued to breathe a sigh of relief, and was not completely killed by Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, and Suwang Hongrun.

Moreover, as Luo Ying predicted, Zhao Hongli, who lost the title of the crown prince and suffered a great loss of power, King Yong and others did not press forward step by step, not only because of some unwritten rules, but also because with the vacancy of the crown prince's position, the alliance of Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, and Qingwang Hongxin broke down.

Think about it, who among these three doesn't want to be the prince?

With the loss of power on the side of the former prince Zhao Hongli, the Yongwang party began to build momentum for Yongwang Hongyu one after another, intending to push him to the position of the crown prince.

As for the Northern First Army, who will pay attention to the Northern First Army at this time?

It's just a dozen days of work, and the momentum of King Yong's reputation in Daliang has directly replaced the former East Palace prince Zhao Hongli's degree, and even in the court, there are frequent courtiers who invite the arch hall to speak for King Yong's reputation.

In late June, Wei Tianzi summoned King Yong Hongyu in the Vertical Arch Palace.

He asked the son directly: "Hongyu, do you want to be the prince?" ”

may not have expected Wei Tianzi to ask so directly, Yongwang Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, then hurriedly said humbly: "Erchen thinks that the position of the prince is extraordinary, and it is not that Erchen can be if he wants to." …… It's not 'want to or don't want to', it's 'whether you have the ability'......"

"Do you want to?" Interrupting King Yong's words, Wei Tianzi asked with a smile.

At that moment, Yongwang Hongyu's cold sweat broke out and flowed down his forehead.

Of course, he knew the city of this father in front of him.

The eighth child, the dignified Su Wang Zhao Run, can be called smart and clever, right? However, he has been repeatedly played by the father in front of him, what is the so-called "father-son war", since the father in front of him became serious, the eighth child has not won.

The smartest of the brothers is still like this, let alone the others?

Looking at Wei Tianzi's smiling appearance, the pressure in Yongwang Hongyu's heart became more and more intense, and suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Erchen...... There was no extravagant expectation. ”

"Oh." When Wei Tianzi heard this, a few inexplicable smiles flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Since this is the case, let the position of the crown prince be empty." ”

『……』

Suddenly, King Yong's face turned red, and he glanced at the father in front of him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes were slightly weird.

"Vacant Crown Prince? Do you ...... say?"

As if thinking of something, King Yong's face was a little ugly.

His expression, Wei Tianzi clearly saw in his eyes, and he said in a timely manner: "Eldest brother has just been exempted, you can't wait to sit in this position, what do you make the world think of you?" Not? ”

Yongwang Hongyu was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "Erchen has no such intention. ”

Wei Tianzi waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "Whether you have this heart or not, the position of the crown prince, let's leave it vacant for a few years, it will also be good for you." …… As for you, I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more powerless lately, so you'll help me first to 'prison the country'. "Note: Supervising the state, that is, acting for the court during the period when the king is not in power. Generally, the crown prince supervises the country and learns how to govern the country. In addition, the prison is not a regent, and there is a great difference between the two.

"...... the Prison Country?"

Hearing this, even though King Yong Hongyu tried his best to hide the ecstasy in his heart, he still had a happy expression on his face.

You must know that the title of prince is just a false name, and the supervision of the country is a real right.

"Sons, sons and daughters are willing to share the worries of their father."

King Yong Hongyu fell to his knees with joy.

The matter of "Yongwang Prison Country" spread throughout the entire Liang in only half a day, and the impact of this matter was no less than the loss of power of the former prince Zhao Hongli.

Even if it was King Yongwang Hongyu who helped King Yong Hongyu to overthrow the former prince of the East Palace at the beginning, he was a little jealous.

Only Xiangwang Zhao Hongjing was not jealous, because he knew that after Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, the second unlucky person was Yongwang Hongyu, who now stood taller, the worse he would fall.

On the same day, Xiangwang Hongjing took out the "Letter of King Yong" that Liu Yi, the general of the Northern First Army, had quietly sent to him, and said with a smile: "This thing is finally useful." ”

Seeing this, one of his sect guards frowned and said, "Your Highness, is it inappropriate to use this thing right now?" ”

"Do you care about the fifth and eighth?" Xiangwang Hongjing said with a smile: "The eighth child helped the second child this time, but it was just to take revenge on the former prince of the East Palace for pulling his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan into the water, do you think he cares about the position of the prince?" As for the fifth child, hehe, this idiot thinks that he has the support of Tianshui Wei and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, but he doesn't want to think about how his father felt when he supported Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, in the Zichen Palace that day. ”

Speaking of this, he licked his lips and said with a smile: "Prison country...... I don't know what it's like. ”

Then he summoned one of the servants of the house and said, "Take my token to the Hanging Arch Hall and give this letter to ......."

As soon as he said this, he heard the strategist Liu Jie shaking his head beside him and said, "Your Highness, it's wrong. If you want to bring down King Yong, you should not send this letter to the Vertical Arch Palace, but to the King and Queen. ”

"What does that mean?" Xiangwang Hongjing didn't understand.

Seeing this, Liu Jie explained: "Your Highness, what do you think, Your Majesty has just appointed King Yong to supervise the country, and you have submitted this evidence of guilt at this time, and you want Your Majesty to punish King Yong severely, aren't you slapping Your Majesty in the face?" …… There is no doubt that if you really do this, Your Majesty can only throw this incriminating evidence in the face of King Yong and scold him, but the next day, King Yong will still be in charge of the country, and you will make enemies because of this, and King Yong will hold a grudge against him......"

After a pause, Liu Jie said again: "But it's different to give it to Queen Wang, her son, Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, has just been knocked down by King Yong, thinking that Queen Wang must be angry at this moment, now that you send King Yong's handle to Queen Wang, how can Queen Wang spare King Yong?" ”

Hearing this, Xiangwang Hongjing suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "Mr. Fei, this king almost made a mistake. ”

Liu Jie knew that Xiangwang Hongjing was carried away by joy before making this wrong choice, so he didn't care, just smiled slightly.

At this time, Xiangwang Hongjing had called the henchman to his side and handed him the letter in his hand.

"You go, send this letter to the queen by hand, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes!"

The servant nodded in response. (To be continued.) )
