The father is old and suspicious, and the fifth dare to enter Beijing so openly, even if it is to avenge his son, this is also a taboo for the father.

As long as the father and emperor pursue the fifth child, all this will develop into a situation in his favor.

King Zhuang didn't wait long before a little eunuch came to deliver the edict.

He was delighted.

He was right, his father really minded this matter.

The emperor is still in the Qinzheng Palace, he is standing there with his hands in his hands, and the dragon robe is on his body, which looks more and more deep and majestic. His gaze came to his face with the aura of silence that had dawned on him.

There are not only the emperor in the palace, but also the prince and the prince, as well as the left and right prime ministers. I didn't see him just now, but I hated iron and steel, so I didn't want to see him. But that's only one of the reasons. He was indeed discussing important matters with these important ministers of the court.

The matter they discussed happened to be the matter of the deposed prince.

At this moment, I saw that after pretending, although they were all experienced for a long time and were not shocked, they were a little weird in their hearts.

This, as the prince, made an assassination on the street, and in front of the evidence, he blindly denied it. Self-righteous, the fox's tail is exposed and he doesn't know it, he is indeed unworthy of being the prince.

Thinking of the beginning, the former prince was abolished as the king of Liang, and when the new prince was established, although the emperor also intended to be the king of Zhuang, he was more interested in the king of the fence, and they were the ones who gave advice, and felt that the king of Zhuang was calm, had a city in his heart, handled things well, and had the demeanor of a prince.

And the king of Zhuang is the long, the king of the fence is the young, since the two sons are virtuous, then the prince is not young, this is also the rules of the ancestors.

Who would have expected that King Zhuang slapped them in the mouth with reality.

It's only been more than a year, why did this King Zhuang suddenly get along with King Cheng's son?

You said that if he did something to the King of the Fence, it could be said that it threatened his position as the crown prince. King Cheng recruited him and provoked him?

It's too stupid to do it to an unrelated person.

When King Zhuang entered the palace, he knelt on the ground and said goodbye.

The emperor looked angry and angry, and said lightly: "Did you really see the fifth child?" ”

Whether it's a letter, a note, a legend, or a guess, as long as you don't see a real person, you can't do it accurately. But if you see a real person, it's different.

King Zhuang raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he swore an oath: "Father, after the son returned from the palace, before he entered the palace, he saw the smoke billowing in the palace, and he actually walked away. Erchen was in a hurry, and hurriedly went back to organize his subordinates to put out the fire. ”

Hearing that there was a fire in Zhuangwang's mansion, the emperor's face sank, this is the capital, it's good, how could there be a fire?

The four important ministers present originally wanted to retreat, but the emperor didn't let them retreat, so they had to listen here, and at this time, their faces were also solemn.

King Zhuang sighed and said: "Erchen went back too late, and after all, four courtyards were burned. Erchen felt that something was wrong. First, the ministers usually govern the government very strictly, and there should be no mistakes such as walking water in the house; Second, although these four courtyards are adjacent to each other, they are not connected, and they burn so quickly, unless the four courtyards are on fire at the same time. Therefore, Erchen suspected that it was done by outsiders, and they would definitely see the results before leaving. Erchen's guess was indeed correct. ”

Saying this, the emperor's eyes sank slightly, and he looked over.

King Zhuang saw his father's attention, and his heart was happy, but his face was still pitiful: "Erchen saw that on the top of Zhuang Ya Pavilion in Erchen's mansion, the fifth husband and wife were there, the fifth was wearing blue clothes, and the fifth princess was wearing white clothes. There they were sneering at me. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Are you sure you are really seeing the fifth couple?" ”

King Zhuang kowtowed and swore an oath: "What the retainer saw with his own eyes is true." Not only the sons, but also the subordinates in the children's mansion saw it. ”

The emperor said lightly: "I know, you can step down!" ”

King Zhuang was stunned, this is the end!

He came not only for this purpose, he wanted to expose the fifth child, and then keep his position as the crown prince.

Therefore, he struggled to the end: "Father, the son is at fault, the son should not do anything to the fifth son, the son knows that he is wrong, and he will never do it again in the future!" But all of this was designed by the fifth child, and it was the fifth child who was harming me. The old five eyes have no king's law, they have great treachery and evil in their hearts, and they have pretended not to be in the capital for many years, but in fact, they have hidden wolf ambitions, father! ”

The emperor's face sank: "I told you to step down!" ”

"Father's ......"

The emperor frowned and said, "What you said, I will investigate it in detail." You step back first! ”

King Zhuang was helpless, he was also afraid that if he really angered his father, it would be worth the loss, anyway, this nail had been nailed down, and his father knew that the fifth couple had come to the capital. He also told the fifth husband and wife about framing him, as long as his father had the slightest doubt in his heart, there was still hope for his position as the crown prince.

One step at a time, he turned around and left the Qinzheng Palace.

He didn't go back to King Zhuang's mansion, just waited in the small pavilion outside the palace.

In the hall, the emperor glanced at the four important ministers and said slowly: "What do you think?" ”

Taishi Bao Zhangyuan pondered for a while, and said: "If His Royal Highness King Cheng really comes to the capital from Yunzhou, it will be to return to Beijing without an edict, and the vassal king will return to Beijing without an edict. ”

Prime Minister Zuo said anxiously: "Now we have to find out first, whether His Royal Highness King Cheng has really arrived in Beijing!" ”

Taifu Zhao Yuecheng said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen it with his own eyes, it must be true!" ”

The right prime minister, Xia Shien, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng is a living person, according to His Royal Highness the Prince, he still came to the capital with Princess Cheng, so where do they live?" If King Zhuang is only the only one who sees it, this needs to be cautious! ”

Zhao Yuecheng said unhappily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't lie, right?" ”

Xia Shien didn't speak, a smile crossed his lips, the smile was meaningful, but everyone understood. For the sake of profit, for the sake of purpose, what is the point of lying?

Being in the royal family, for that position, the head is broken, what is the big deal about lying?

However, this will not be said on the surface, after all, it is a crime of deception.

If what the prince said is true, then the sin of King Cheng and his wife is not light; If the prince just knew that he would not be able to do it for a long time, and in order to keep this position, he told a lie, and the nature of the matter would have changed completely.

The emperor said: "I will send someone to investigate the matter of the fifth child." Tomorrow's Taimiao sacrifice, you should also go down and prepare! If something happens, I'll send someone to inform you! ”

The four of them were a little surprised, the emperor summoned them, indeed for tomorrow's Taimiao sacrifice, and the next Longyu Hall to read the edict of the abolished prince, as well as the edict to the world.

This matter has not yet been announced on a large scale, so only these four important ministers have been summoned.

I didn't expect the prince to come over and say this, but the emperor still came according to the previous plan?
