Chapter 183: The Prince's Mistake
Lin Chengyong thought for a while and said: "The crown prince has already reached adulthood, he should be the regent in his name, and wait for the queen mother's funeral to be completed, and then be crowned and succeeded." ”
The crown prince is now in solitary confinement, and Lin Chengyong wrote several times to ask the reason, but the queen did not reply.
Among the three ministers, Sikong Man has not expressed his position, Gao Taiwei is a princeling, and he resolutely supports the prince's accession to the throne, Prince Dongping does not support anyone, no one opposes it, Lin Chengyong is what Gao Taiwei said before, he will oppose anything, so King Qi, King Lu, and King Jing are trying their best to win him over, but recently Lin Chengyong actually supported the prince, which is unexpected.
The queen felt that Taiwei Gao was not there, and it was the right time for her to nominate others to the throne, but she didn't expect that Lin Chengyong was not echoing the ministers' words, but really wanted to promote the prince.
"No, Zhao Xu wants to be excluded, he led people to break into the forbidden palace privately, and some people exposed him for unspeakable crimes, and he must not be regent!"
"What kind of crime, what mistake did the prince make, everyone can't understand, if there is no explanation, who can be convinced?"
The queen snorted.
"The prince is not a mistake, but a violation of the criminal law, before he was grounded by the emperor, it was a big mistake, originally a few days ago he was ordered to supervise the country with the king of Qi, should take care of government affairs carefully, who knew that he actually led someone to trespass into the forbidden palace, this is a big crime, this palace is looking for you, is to discuss the deposition of the prince, and discuss who can take the position of the prince!"
Lin Chengyong gasped, and he took a deep breath.
"Please think twice about this matter, the prince is the foundation of the country, shake the foundation of the country, and the ministers oppose it."
Sikong Man cast a mocking look.
"Hasn't Lord Lin always advocated meritocracy?"
"Meritocracy, know people and make good use of them, that's not choosing the prince, the prince is the first thing to be virtuous!"
"Is the prince virtuous?"
"Isn't it?"
The two argued, each arguing.
The queen coughed a few times before the two stopped arguing, and the queen asked Prince Dongping: "Lord Sikong and Lord Lin have different opinions, and now the Zongzheng Mansion is investigating the matter of the prince leading people to trespass into the palace, Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you think this matter is guilty or not guilty?" ”
"This, this, the prince does have something wrong."
Prince Dongping hesitated and led people to break into the palace, this is a crime, and the prince has dealings with people in the palace, which is wrong.
The queen snorted.
"Since Prince Dongping also agrees to abolish the crown prince, let's discuss the choice of the prince."
Prince Dongping felt that the crown prince was at fault, but now that the queen said that he agreed to change the prince, this was a bit of a stealing beam, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, this king is not in favor of replacing the crown prince, I just think that there is no solid evidence to convict the prince!" ”
"What if there is?"
The queen continued to ask.
"Then, of course the king supports dethronement."
"Very good, who is there who supports the change of the prince now?"
Sikong Man said: "The old minister supports." ”
Lin Chengyong said: "The minister is against it!" ”
Prince Dongping thought for a while and said, "This king feels that this matter is important and needs to be discussed!" ”
Lin Chengyong was angry in his heart, he has now become a lonely palm, the key is that Sikong Man and the queen now know their hole cards, how can they keep the prince?
The queen said sadly: "This is indeed a big event, I should wait for the queen mother's funeral to be completed before we come to discuss, but this year is an eventful autumn for my Dawei, and it is not my intention to depose the prince, but your majesty's intention, but he has not had time to do it, and he can't afford to be sick." ”
Lin Chengyong didn't expect the queen to bring out the emperor to pressure him at this time, Xuan Ling never said that he would abolish the prince, but he had no evidence to prove that the queen lied.
"The minister still has an objection, it's a big matter, otherwise, let's wait for Lord Taiwei to come back."
The queen smiled secretly in her heart, it turned out that she was delaying time, and now Lin Chengyong himself said that he would wait for Captain Gao to come back, then she was not in a hurry, she was anxious about when Zhao Huawen would bring the troops back.
"Okay, it's just that Lord Taiwei is going to the Big Bird Country, and I don't know when I will be able to return, and I can only ask the three adults to support the major national affairs."
Lin Chengyong didn't say it, but he sneered in his heart, you are the master of all the major affairs in the palace, and you are still in the name of the emperor, do you need our support!
After a while, the three of them said goodbye to the queen and left the Chun Nuan Pavilion.
Lin Chengyong's mood was very heavy, he glanced at Prince Dongping, Prince Dongping's expression was unwavering, this old guy should not be offended, if you want to rely on him, don't count on him.
When Lin Chengyong left Chunnuan Pavilion, he suddenly hoped that Taiwei Gao would return to Beijing safely.
The wind rises.
Cloud surge.
In a cellar in Yujia Lane, Windy City, the lid had just been closed.
Someone came down the stairs carrying a lamp.
It was a spacious cellar with all sorts of miscellaneous debris thrown underneath, and when the lights came on, there was a rattle of chains.
A voice scolded viciously in the corner: "Dog thief, dog thief, what do you want to do after locking this king for so many days!" ”
On one of the pillars of the cellar, a large man was chained with iron chains, and his hair was scattered, and his face was full of beard, like a wild man, but his forehead was bare, his lips turned outward, and his eyes were blood-red, and at this moment the two hands and feet of the great man were chained.
Two figures appeared in front of him, one in front was slim, she was holding a book and a pen in her hand, it was actually a young girl, and the one behind was thin, both palms were wrapped in bandages, although he was holding a lamp, his hands were trembling, and he seemed to be very struggling.
The big man was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that it was a girl who came this time, and he swallowed the curse for a while.
"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect us to meet here!"
The woman's voice was pleasant, but cold.
"You, who are you?"
"I'm the one who captured you!"
The big man was so angry that he screamed.
"You thief, what are you going to do with Lao Tzu, what are you going to do!"
Three or two lamps were lit in the cellar, and a delicate melon seed face appeared in front of him, this beautiful girl.
The big man was shocked.
"You, you're the little Oiran of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, aren't you missing with Mother Wang?"
This girl is Yue'er, and the one who follows her is naturally the eighth master, and the locked big man is naturally Li Dahao, the emperor of Xichun Kingdom.
Yue'er had already removed the disguise on her face, she smiled coldly, and said, "It's not me who is missing, it's a fake little oiran!" ”
"What, you stinky girl, there are still people to pretend, who are you, what are you going to do to arrest Lao Tzu?"
Li Dahao spoke very roughly, he had restrained himself in Dawei for a few years before, but at this time he had regained his temperament, he didn't believe that the person who arrested him was Xiao Huayi's subordinate, but after seeing the eighth master lighting a few oil lamps, he stood viciously behind her back, and was a little suspicious.
"Lord Wang, think about it, how many murderous things have you done?"
Li Dahao snorted and stared at Yue'er viciously.
"Little Oiran, are you here to seek revenge on Lao Tzu?"
"Yes, I'm in Windy City, and you're one of the people I'm looking for!"
"Or one of them, hehe, who's the second one, and who's the third one?"
"You don't have to worry about this, now that you fall into my hands, or please answer the question honestly!"
"Haha, I don't know what murder is, if murder counts, then I have killed more people in my life, I don't know if I killed your father or raped your mother?"
The eighth master couldn't listen to it, so he stepped forward and kicked Li Dahao's lower abdomen, Li Dahao snorted and shrunk.
"If Master Yue asks you something, answer it well, otherwise I will cut off your hands and feet, poke your eyes blind, and cut off your tongue to make an adult mustache!"
Li Dahao rolled his eyes, he didn't know what a mustache was, but he still laughed unscrupulously: "You asked Lao Tzu what he did the most cruel, I don't remember doing too much, once I cut open the belly of a Han pregnant woman, took out her child and picked it on the knife, the pregnant woman screamed to death in anger, and many people were scared away, is this cruel?" ”
The eighth master was furious and kicked him again.
Li Dahao twisted his body in pain, but he still smoked cold air and smiled: "You, don't you want to listen to cruel things, and once this king caught a fat man, roasted him alive and ate it, brushed a lot of seasonings, the taste is quite good, this first bite of meat, or he ate it himself!" ”
