The emperor asked this question, and above the court, the officials looked at Leng Cangyun, the left minister of the court.

Today, when the envoys of Qin and Han were about to leave, the three divisions of the trial confirmed the evidence of the two princes' crimes, and the hundred officials had a tacit understanding to make a concerted effort, and the emperor had no way to delay it any longer.

The hundred officials knew that when the emperor asked Leng Cangyun, he was asking about the wishes of the Leng family. And next, Leng Cangyun's words will determine the future fate of the second prince.

However, knowing that the second prince is the grandson of the Leng family and has always been protected by the Leng family, the eldest prince's faction is also fully prepared. Among them, there are several officials who can speak well, and during this time, they have collected all kinds of true and false information, and have been constantly reading classics and laws for several days, pondering the way of dialectic, in order to deal with the Leng family.

If the Leng family blindly shields the second prince, hum! When the time comes, they will definitely not be able to fight the fox and cause a fuss.

These officials are ready to speak at any time.

"Back to the body, the minister...... No objection. ”

How...... No objections?

The fluttering words made those officials who were gearing up instantly deflated.

When they realized what Leng Cangyun meant, they looked at each other. No one expected that the Leng family would give up the second prince so easily.

This time, even the officials of the Second Prince's faction were shocked, but although these officials belonged to the Second Prince's faction, in fact, they all looked forward to the Leng family. Shocked to shocked, after they knew what the Leng family meant, they adjusted their mentality in time.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair had a dark face, and his heart was quickly thinking about the intentions of the Leng family.

Yesterday, the problem with the Leng family's business only caused a sensation in a small area, after all, "Shinong Industry and Commerce", business is a cheap business, and no one takes it seriously. His Majesty the Emperor is in a hurry, so naturally he will not pay attention to these news.

Is it because the Leng family can't stand the second prince's self-assertion? Or are they retreating as advances, preparing to let the second child Taoguang recuperate and rise again in the future? On the emperor's flickering face, a pair of eyes stared at Leng Cangyun tightly.

After thinking about it for a long time, I can't cold my intentions.

A trace of fierceness flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he spoke: "Since you all have no objections, what about ...... The province of Zhongshu drafted a holy decree to strip off the princely status of the second prince and demote him to a commoner. The emperor glanced at Leng Cangyun, saw that his face was not shocked, and continued: "From today on,...... imprisoned him in the Yongqing Palace and was not allowed to go out. ”

In the laws of the Tang Kingdom, the process of drafting the holy decree was extremely cumbersome and indispensable. A mere edict that was degraded to the common people had to be drafted by the Zhongshu Province, sealed by the emperor, and then examined by the Menxia Province and executed by the Shangshu Province.

However, today's suspicions are very high, and the Holy Judgment is arbitrary, and the content of the draft decree is often determined by oneself and no one else is allowed to question it. Before, some officials felt that this move violated the ancestral system, and once admonished the Son of Heaven, but then he was arrested by the Hanging Heaven Mansion and never came out again. Since then, no one has said anything about the proposed purpose.

Now, the emperor directly explained the content of the holy decree, and the Zhongshu Province did not dare to tamper with it privately. The second prince was deprived of the position of prince and demoted to a commoner, and the matter of being confined in the palace was a foregone conclusion.

This punishment can be described as neither light nor severe.

It stands to reason that if it can involve the murder of the grassland on the outskirts of the city and the assassination of Ye Gongshu, even if the second prince is imprisoned and killed, it is not an exaggeration. Nowadays, it is just reduced to a common people. It shows that the emperor can't figure out the intentions of the Leng family now, and he is still a little jealous in his heart.

However, the ministers knew that the second prince would be imprisoned in Yongqing Palace forever, which meant that he would not be able to take the throne in this life. Moreover, once the new emperor ascends the throne, it is very likely that he will end up in a different place.

Those officials who are on the wall on weekdays and fall on both sides understand that the second prince is losing power, the third prince in the court is not there, and the eldest prince's family is dominant, and their thoughts can't help but live.

*******************************

Originally, the drafting, polishing, drafting, sealing, reviewing, and execution of the decree were quite cumbersome. However, the officials of the DPRK and China are intertwined, and among the three provinces and six ministries, many officials are on the side of the great prince. Therefore, after the end of the early dynasty, the great prince exerted pressure, and the officials under him urged, and the holy decree, which usually took three or five days, had gone through all the procedures by the afternoon, and was handed over to Shangshu Province to carry out the will.

At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.

On the wide street, several officials of Shangshu Province held the edict in their hands and walked towards the Yongqing Palace with official steps.

In the Yongqing Palace, the second prince was dressed in green clothes, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and was playing against a man next to him. However, this play is no longer "Farewell My Concubine", but "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest".

The second prince (Du Shi Niang): "You mistakenly removed the fame on my head for me, you take it home, and when the scientific examination comes next year, the text is not right, and the treasure is meritorious." If you don't win, you will also be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. ……”

Halfway through the play, a sudden voice came from outside the courtyard: "Second prince, it's not good!" ”

Manager Liu has not arrived, but the voice has arrived.

The treasure chest in the hands of the second prince stopped, and immediately saw Manager Liu running in, and said urgently: "Second prince, there is a letter from Shangshu Province, Your Majesty is ......."

"Say!"

"The officials of the DPRK and China are in trouble, saying that you ...... Ignoring people's lives and mutilating Zhongliang, His Majesty the Emperor has written a decree in Zhongshu Province, ready to demote you to a commoner and confined in the Yongqing Palace. ”

The second prince couldn't see a trace of expression on his powdered face, but there was confusion in his eyes.

He asked in a daze, "What are the officials?" ”

Chief Manager Liu lowered his head humbly, and said quickly: "This time, the officials who participated in you accounted for as much as half of the hundred officials in the court, among them, ...... Pang Taishi and Prime Minister Ye Cheng also made a move. ”

The second prince blinked his eyes, and said with a full sense of yin: "What about the Leng family?" Suburban pastures...... How to deal with it? ”

Manager Liu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That is Mofei, the officials above the court seem to be deliberately avoiding this person." Leng Jia...... Seconded. ”

The treasure chest in the second prince's hand trembled obviously, and then he smiled and said continuously: "Okay!" Good! Good! Leng Jia...... Great. ”

Manager Liu looked at the moody second prince and said with relief: "Second prince, why don't you ...... You go to the old lady and talk to it, after all...... You are his grandson, and the Leng family will never die without help. ”

The second prince Qi said angrily: "If you see death, you won't save it? Manager Liu, you underestimate our Li family and the people of the Leng family too much, the heavenly family is noble, and the heart is thin and cold. Hehe...... When the queen mother died, my grandfather not only did not save him, but also gave the queen mother a fatal blow. You said...... I have a grandson, how can he care? ”

Manager Liu knew some things back then, so when he saw the second prince say this, he could only bow his head and acquiesce.

Manager Liu: "Then what should we do?" ”

"What should I do?" The second prince threw the treasure chest in his hand to the ground angrily.

The second prince (Du Shi Niang) sang: "Li Jia, a thief!" It's a pity that I, Du Shi Niang, have been abused in all kinds of ways in order to promise you for life. I really hope to return home with you to honor your parents, and the husband and wife will be harmonious for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, you, a thief, ruined the preface, and actually resold me to Sun Fu. Li Jia, Li Jia, you--where is your conscience? Sun Fu dog thief! You shouldn't have broken up my husband and wife with rhetoric, and you want me to enjoy the joy of the pillow with you, hum! Then you are delusional! Although I, Du Shi Niang, am a prostitute, I am not a shameless person, even if I die, I can't stop with you under Jiuquan! hated Li Jia, a righteous thief, and deceived the sky, and scolded Sun Fu for breaking up your marriage with money. You rich families only seek pleasure, but what do you care about the pain and sorrow of others? May the heavens quickly rain down their sharp swords and slay down these evildoers! Slash slash! Kill them all! ”

The second prince's joke angrily condemned Li Jia and Sun Fu, but in fact, it was the emperor and the Leng family who were satirized.

After the second prince sang this last paragraph, he said seriously: "Manager Liu, you go and do that." ”

"Really...... Do you really want to do this? Manager Liu said in shock.

"If they are unkind and unjust, they will not blame me for being ruthless. And that one...... When the time comes, it will be dealt with together. ”

The second prince said softly, but every sentence was ruthless.

Manager Liu saw that he had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to do so.
