Chapter 203: When the Prince is Deposed
The red silk in the palace is hung high, and Li Zhang's thick eyebrows are deeply locked.
"It seems that the personnel sent out have failed," Zhang Shuo, a staff member of the palace, said in a deep voice: "It's just that his subordinates don't understand why Chen Chong actually obeyed the prince's orders." He should be the prince's man. ”
Li Zhang sat in front of the desk, looking at the thick paperwork in front of him, and couldn't wait to fly to the north and seize military power from the hands of the crown prince Li Cong.
Seeing that Li Zhang didn't speak, Zhang Shuo said tentatively: "It's better to ...... Proposed edict to say that the prince led the troops to rebel? ”
This is certainly a good idea.
Li Zhang raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Zhang Shuo continued: "In this way, one can depose the crown prince, and the other can directly inherit the unification. ”
He didn't mention what to do with the emperor, who was still unconscious. When the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will have no need to linger.
Li Zhang finally raised his head, and said in a cold voice: "You say this, it seems that you have forgotten that the capital is now at risk of being besieged by Nanyi, if it is called the prince to rebel, what if he does not come back to help the capital?" ”
"Lord Wang," Zhang Shuo took a step closer and said, "As long as the edict reaches the army, and the prince's people take over the position of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, what else can the prince do?" After all, the Northern Expeditionary Army had just been led by him, and he had not yet established his prestige in the army. ”
"What should the prince's people in the court do?" Li Zhang asked again.
"Simply woo it, if you don't know the current affairs, just take advantage of the chaos to dismiss." Zhang Shuo gritted his teeth: "He has never been a king and a loser, and now that the prince is not in the capital, if he comes back with military power, it will be even more difficult for the prince to restrain him." ”
Yes, the crown prince has now added military merits, and there are more and more people in the capital who praise him.
"As long as the prince ascends the throne," Zhang Shuo said: "The soldiers and horses in the world are in the hands of the prince, in addition to the northern army, there are also 100,000 southern troops, and there are many under the rule of the envoys of various sections, all of which can be dispatched by the prince." Just Nanyi, don't take it seriously. ”
Li Zhang closed his eyes.
He spent the first half of his life fighting, and now that he is in the court, he knows that this place is not much more stable than in the army.
"Let's do it." He opened his eyes and said, "This king will go to the palace." ”
……
There was a deathly suffocation in the court, and then the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison: "But listen to the regent's order." ”
The tension on Li Zhang's face relaxed and eased a little, and he raised his eyes to look at Shang Shuluo of the military department who was kneeling below.
Luo Yan is now the prince's person, he knows.
"What does Lord Luo think?" Li Zhang asked.
Luo Yan stood up from a kneeling position, bowed deeply, and said: "Weichen believes that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has evidence, and the prince is indeed plotting rebellion, and it cannot be tolerated. ”
A trace of surprise crossed Li Zhang's face, this Luo Yan still knows that his life is expensive.
So, next, what about Zhu Xuechen.
Before Li Zhang could ask, Zhu Xuechen had already stood up and said: "Weichen also thinks that the prince dares to secretly poison His Majesty the Emperor, and his heart can be punished, but not tolerated. ”
Li Zhang was a little surprised, but his expression was still cold.
Just as he was about to ask again, the crown prince and prince Chen Ang had already stood up: "Weichen was ordered by His Majesty to teach the prince for ten years, and now the prince has done such a bad thing, the master is guilty, and he is willing to obey the punishment of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent." ”
Li Zhang stepped down and grabbed Chen Ang's arm. Chen Ang was old, and he stood a little trembling.
"I don't dare to punish the teacher," he said slowly, "I just don't know what to do with this palace when something like this happens." ”
"Should-" Chen Ang gritted his teeth: "You should depose the crown prince." ”
"That's right! Depose the Crown Prince. ”
The crowd was excited.
