Chapter 134: Canonization of the Crown Prince
Everyone knows that the national teacher is only loyal to the emperor and remains neutral in partisan disputes.
The second prince and the fifth prince looked at him even more nervously, and rushed towards him and asked him to make himself the crown prince.
At this time, the atmosphere in the court was very solemn, and everyone was quietly waiting for the national teacher's answer.
They all know that as long as the national teacher appoints someone as the crown prince, even if the emperor does not plan to appoint him at the beginning, he will have to consider it in the future.
The huge court was quiet and terrifying, but the national teacher came out at this time, and did not directly answer the emperor's question, but took out a stack of letters:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor will make a decision after seeing these things."
Duke De took the stack of letters from the national teacher and presented them to the emperor.
Everyone below stared curiously at the stack of letters, not knowing what was inside.
It's just that curiosity is curiosity, they don't dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor, so they can only hold back the curiosity in their hearts and stand there obediently.
The national teacher also secretly observed the expressions of the second prince and the fifth prince at this time.
The second prince chuckled in his heart, why did these letters look so familiar?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, but he still forced himself to calm down, but his eyelids kept jumping.
But the fifth prince just didn't have any extra expressions except for curiosity and incomprehension.
After observing Liangrao's expression, the national teacher withdrew his gaze, and then fell on the letter in the emperor's hand.
I saw that the emperor's face gradually turned blue as the letters were opened one by one.
The people below are all human spirits, seeing that the emperor's face is not good, where do they dare to ask more, but they lower their heads even more, and their steps are also gently taken back, trying to reduce their own existence
After the emperor finished reading the stack of letters, his eyes swept over the ministers below, but he didn't say a word, but the iron face and the undulating chest could see how angry he was at the moment.
For a long time, I only heard a "pop".
The emperor couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and slapped the table.
The court was already quiet and terrifying, and the sudden loud noise made everyone tremble.
Then he knelt on the ground with a brush: "The emperor is angry." ”
"Calm my anger, how can I calm my anger?" Then he called the second prince by his name: "Gu Yanghan, see for yourself the good things you have done." ”
Then he threw the letter on the table at the second prince.
The second prince was beating a drum in his heart at this time, picked up the letters scattered on the ground, opened them, and suddenly turned pale with fright.
Isn't this the correspondence he exchanged with other officials? No wonder it looked so familiar just now, but how could these letters be in the hands of the national teacher?
But this is not the time to think about this problem, but how to solve the situation in front of you.
So he immediately knelt on the main hall and cried: "Father, this is not what the son did it, someone framed the son, and asked the father to investigate." ”
When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, what is the situation?
But those who supported the second prince were anxious in their hearts.
Now that the emperor is so angry, it must be a big deal, and now it is a critical moment to establish a prince, at this time, if the second prince is caught, the position of the other prince has nothing to do with him, and even these people will be affected.
So these people are all worried in their hearts at this time, and on the other hand, the five princes and the officials who support the five princes.
There was a hint of joy on his face, and now the emperor was furious with the second prince, which was beneficial to the fifth prince.
"Father, you have to believe in your son, your son was really framed."
The second prince didn't know how to defend himself at this time, so he could only insist that he was framed.
"Framed? You, who are you who framed you? At this time, the emperor's voice could hear that the suppressed anger had reached its limit.
"Father, the son doesn't know, the son only knows that these things were not done by the son, someone must have deliberately framed the son, and ask the father to investigate."
After a few heavy kowtows to the emperor, the bright forehead was broken by the stone slab, and the crimson blood flowed down the forehead, which looked as miserable as it was.
But those who supported the Five Princes were not happy.
He is a dignified second prince, how could someone deliberately frame him? I'm afraid that this "someone" means something, referring to the five princes.
So some of them were bold enough to pick up the letters scattered on the ground and open them.
Unexpectedly, the second prince turned out to be like a big bag, and he actually hijacked the girl as a plaything to bribe people.
Seeing that the emperor did not blame, the others also picked up the letters on the ground and opened them, and everyone was stunned, including many ministers who were implicated.
Those who supported the second prince and those who were implicated in it all pleaded with the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the second prince is worried about the country and the people, how could he do such a thing, someone must have framed him, and please ask the emperor to learn from it."
When the emperor heard that they were wronged one by one, and one by one they were framed, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Hehe, wronged? These letters are all in the handwriting of the second child, and the face dares to be wronged? ”
Even so, they still can't admit it, admitting that there is only a dead end, and if they don't admit it, there may be a turnaround.
At this moment, the fifth prince, who had been low-key for a long time, actually stood up to intercede for the second prince.
"Father, you forgive the imperial brother this time, presumably the imperial brother already knows that he is wrong, and he will not do it again in the future."
Although it was a plea, it made the second prince sit on the charge.
"You..."
The second prince stared at the fifth prince deadly, hating to go up and strangle him.
At this moment, he was already in a big disaster, but he didn't expect the fifth prince to add fuel to the fire.
Although the two princes kept saying that they were wronged, the emperor was convinced.
Because this letter was given to him by the national teacher, and he recognized the handwriting of the second prince, he was sure that it was written by him.
Originally, he was forced by the situation to plan to make the second prince the crown prince, but at this moment he changed his mind.
The crown prince is the prince, and he will be the lord of a country in the future, and the first thing to do as the lord of a country is to think about the people of Limin.
However, the second prince not only did not worry about the people's worries, but did such things that hurt the people for his own selfishness.
"I declare that the fifth prince will be the crown prince.
The second prince has no virtue, and from now on he will be confined in the palace, and he will not be allowed to go out without my order. ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the second prince shouted loudly to the emperor: "Father, the son is wronged, the son is wronged." ”
The people who support the second prince are also a little staggered, but they still haven't forgotten to plead with the emperor: "The emperor thinks twice, the establishment of the crown prince is a big deal, and the emperor is invited to think twice." ”
The fifth prince didn't expect that the emperor would really make him the crown prince, and he was very excited.
And the people who supported him were also relieved when they heard the news, and it seemed that they had made the right bet.
But when they heard those words that made the emperor think twice, they couldn't help but snort coldly in their hearts, and then couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Didn't you propose to make the prince just now?" ”
Those who support the second prince are so much speechless, yes, they mentioned it from the beginning, this is really shooting themselves in the foot.
