The next morning, he went to court as scheduled.

In the early dynasty, His Majesty Li Er announced in public that he would depose the crown prince Chengqian and depose Li Tai, the king of Wei, with immediate effect.

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

It was insignificant to depose the prince, and the ministers were able to obey the emperor's will. But the deposition of the crown prince of a country is related to the future of the Tang Empire, the continuation of the national throne, and the heir to the throne.

For a time, His Majesty Li Er's arbitrariness attracted the opposition of the ministers.

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian and others, who had already received the news in advance from the eldest grandson Wuji, walked out of the court one after another, knelt on the ground and begged, and the mountain shouted to ask the emperor to take back his order and not to abolish the crown prince.

The prince Jiancheng Yu faction, represented by Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others, could not calm down at this time, knelt on his knees one by one, and stated that the kings of previous dynasties had caused the decline of national fortunes due to the abolition of the prince as an example, and expressed his pain to His Majesty Li Er, hoping that the emperor could take back his fate.

Even the Shilin Qingliu family, which has always been fighting against the old ministers of Tiance Mansion, is rare today that he did not jump out to embarrass the eldest grandson Wuji and others, let alone fall into the ground. Rather, he hoped that His Majesty Li Er would think twice before acting and give Li Chengqian a chance to reform himself.

Although the three factions of the court are in a three-legged trend, each representing three different interest strata, they are all rare to have the same hatred and hatred for the emperor's abolition of the crown prince, standing on the united front.

For a while, the civil and military officials under the entire court knelt together, and Xiaozhi exhorted His Majesty Li Er with emotion and reason, and even more old ministers had already knelt on the ground and choked and cried.

Even Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan relied on the old and sold the old at this time, and began to intercede for Li Chengqian.

The three systems work together, and there is a great tendency to break gold.

All this was unexpected by His Majesty Li Er, but it was also what His Majesty Li Er was happy to see, because in his opinion, although his courtiers formed a party for personal gain and formed their own factions, they all gave up their own careful thinking in major national affairs and in the country's fortunes and stood on the same front.

However, today's he is also the eighth king to eat the scales - iron-hearted, this prince's position, he is abolished.

I saw His Majesty Li Er's Huo Ran up, his face as cold as water, and he looked around majestically at the civil and military officials under the court, and roared angrily: "Are you trying to force the palace?" Abolish or not abolish the prince, I still have to go through your permission and nod or not? I repeat, this is my family matter, and I don't bother the Qing family. ”

The emperor moved the real fire, Long Yan was furious and trembled all of a sudden, and the civil and military ministers shouted long live one after another, shouting in unison: "The ministers don't dare!" ”

At this time, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who was standing at the head of the generals, couldn't help but stand up for the court, and clasped his fists and admonished: "The emperor is serious, and the ministers are not forcing the palace. As the so-called heavenly family is no trivial matter, although His Majesty and the crown prince are father and son, it is indeed up to you to decide whether to abolish or not. However, the position of the crown prince is related to the heir to the throne of the Tang Empire and the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, the crown prince has not committed the fault of virtue and integrity, and the prince should not be abolished lightly. ”

As soon as Li Jing's remarks came out, they immediately attracted the nods and approval of a group of military generals, and they all expressed their support, proving that the crown prince Li Chengqian could not be abolished.

His Majesty Li Er watched Li Jing, who had always been a good man, come out to add to the blockage, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, listening to Li Jing's last sentence about virtue and integrity, he couldn't talk about Li Chengqian's reversal of yin and yang in front of such a minister, and the matter of raising the face and the head rabbit. Because of this, it is true that Li Chengqian can be notorious, but Li Chengqian is his son after all, and Li Chengqian's reputation in the world is tantamount to the stink of the entire Tang Dynasty royal family for 10,000 years.

For a while, he really didn't know how to prevaricate Li Jing, and when he heard so many generals supporting Li Jing against him, he was even more angry......

His Majesty Li Er raised his arm and pointed at Li Jing, and shouted angrily: "Li Jing, do you want to support the army and self-respect, and vainly try to force me by force?" ”

Airplanes~

Li Jing's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji not far from his left, and said secretly, Lord eldest grandson, what should be done can be done, the old man has already done it for you, and the favor owed to you is almost the same, if he continues to advise, the old man may be charged by the emperor with the crime of coercing the king with the intention of rebellion. At that time, the old man will not expect to enjoy his old age in peace.

Then, Li Jing hurriedly knelt on his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" How dare Li Jing risk the world's condemnation to do such a thing? Now that the emperor has made up his mind, the minister will no longer persuade him. Naturally, our military generals did not dare to discuss the government affairs in vain, let alone interfere in the government affairs. All the emperor's will, our soldiers* are all respected. ”

After that, Li Jing couldn't afford to fall to the ground, and completely dispelled the idea of persuading the emperor not to abolish the crown prince again.

His Majesty Li Er listened to Li Jing's last statement, and watched him fall to the ground with a trembling look, the anger in his heart dropped a lot, and he secretly scolded, old fox, the good people have let you do it, and now I have become a complete villain.

After Li Jing's statement, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, Wei Ting, Wei Zheng and others all stopped their voices, because the big guys are half a catty to eight taels, and no one is stupider than the other.

Only the people of Tiance Mansion, who have always supported the crown prince Li Chengqian's ascension, are still struggling, there is no way, if Li Chengqian loses the position of prince, it means that they have lost the candidate to support, and everything they have worked hard to manage before will be in vain, and their respective interests will be damaged.

But today, His Majesty Li Er is really stubborn to the end, he doesn't eat soft and hard, I saw him glance at Changsun Wuji coldly, he knew that the reason why today's Tiance Mansion ministers are so stubborn must be because of Changsun Wuji's continuous small movements behind his back.

It's good that your eldest grandson Wuji actually knew about my decision, and dared to challenge my authority, good, very good!

Immediately, His Majesty Li Er flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "My mind has been decided, and no one is allowed to persuade me again." That's it, today the morning of the dynasty will not discuss everything, and retreat! ”

After that, the person had already left the dragon chair, walked in the left passage of the Jinluan Palace, and quickly entered the harem.

The mind was solved, and there was no trace of mud and water from Xi Qi, leaving the dumbfounded civil and military ministers above the court stunned.

The emperor had already left the table and retired from the court, and the ministers of the three departments naturally did not stay here for a while, and then retreated one by one, and walked out of the main hall one after another, each returning to his own home, and looking for his own mother.

With the retreat of the ministers from the palace, soon, the news of the early dynasty today naturally spread, and the news hovered over Chang'an City like wings, and gradually, it spread to the ten state capitals.

The crown prince Li Chengqian was deposed, confined to the custody of the imperial village, and without an edict, he did not wait to step into the palace for half a step for the rest of his life;

Li Tai, the king of Wei, was deposed as the king of Wei County, and was assigned a fief of Qianzhou, and without an edict, he could not return to Chang'an for half a step for the rest of his life.

As soon as the two wills came out, the world was shocked!

For a time, gossip news came out frequently, and some people said that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were competing for favor and angered the emperor; Some people say that the abolished prince and the king of Wei Jun fell in love with a girl at the same time, but they didn't expect that this girl had already been favored by the emperor, so the emperor did not stop and directly deposed the two sons.

There are also some other nondescript gossip being born, all kinds of things, innumerable. Anyway, it's a folk rumor, and it's short-lived......

And the initiators of this incident, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Hou Guoye of Yizhou, never thought that this incident would make such a big fuss. Because his original purpose was to complete the bet with Cui Henian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, about how to let the Tubo female envoy take the initiative to leave Chang'an within ten days.

Guo Ye now has no time to take care of whether the prince is abolished or not, and he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he is now concentrating on the matter of gambling contracts.

On this day, two days have passed since the deposed of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and there are still two days before the ten-day appointment between Guo Ye and Cui Henian.

It was about noon, and he was rushing to the south gate of Chang'an with Zhu Hongyu, the host of the Ministry of Rites, and two foreign officials.

However, he did not go out of the city this time, but came to see him off in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Rites.

He came to see off the Tibetan female envoys and their entourage to leave Chang'an and return to the Tibetan country.

Guo Ye knew very well that although he personally confirmed to Yunshang that Yang Yong was dead, if he didn't give her a token of Yang Yong's body, Yunshang might not be happy, and maybe he would make some kind of moths, so he stayed in Chang'an to block himself.

So this send-off, he has to come if he doesn't come, he must come.
