"Is he disobedient to you? He's here to protect himself! Jin Ling'er pressed him step by step, did she want him to be restrained? The Queen Mother felt that Chen Jianjun was simply reversing black and white.

"Does the Queen Mother know what he has done? Does self-preservation need to kill the imperial concubine's own brothers and cousins? ”

"He's reckless." In fact, the Queen Mother also felt that the people of the Jin family were innocent, but in order to persuade Chen Jianjun to change his mind, she had to soften her figure, "But, Emperor, you can't do things too desperately, leave him a way to live." He's your son! ”

Hearing this, Chen Jianjun suddenly left the table and knelt down for the Queen Mother: "Please leave a way for your son to live!" He bowed his head as he spoke.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she trembled: "You, you ......" but she couldn't speak.

Chen saw Jun kowtow and got up and went out.

Leaving the Queen Mother sitting alone indoors, she couldn't stop crying.

Chen Jianjun was still a little timid and hesitant about the abolition of the crown prince, and his biggest worry was the blame of the queen mother.

But now that you have made it clear to the Queen Mother, let's just make a quick decision, so as not to always drag it out and everyone will have a hard time.

On the morning of the second day, Chen Jianjun summoned the cabinet ministers to the Maoqin Hall to discuss matters, and the eunuch Huai En, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, also stood aside. Chen Jianjun officially put forward the wish to abolish the crown prince, on the grounds that Chen Youcong was "unruly and unruly, and had no monarch father".

As Chen Jianjun expected, this proposal was immediately opposed by everyone. The main reasons for opposition are: first, the elder is not the young; Second, the crown prince is young and vigorous at best, and he has no major mistakes, and he should also teach more, and do not say anything about it.

In fact, Chen Youcong is a good prince no matter what aspect he looks at. He's smart and studious, but he's not a nerd and has a strong executive ability. He was willing to listen to his courtiers, and never had the arrogance of a royal nobleman. He was very filial to the Queen Mother who raised him. In addition, he is not a woman and is not greedy for money.

His only shortcoming is that he does not like the emperor's favorite little wife, and thus becomes unliking the emperor.

But the emperor's favorite concubine has a really bad reputation outside the palace, so some of the prince's backlash under the suppression of this favorite concubine is really excusable in the eyes of those ministers. It's just that everyone can't say these words clearly, so they can only say that the prince is still young, and he still needs to be taught by the emperor well, and he also needs to do more practical things to sharpen it, so he asked the emperor to think twice.

But Chen Jianjun summoned these important ministers this time, not to listen to their opinions, but just to inform them and go through the motions.

So those people chattered for a long time, but Chen Jianjun didn't respond, and when he saw that they were almost done, he cleared the venue and asked everyone to leave.

After the news of the emperor's intention to depose the crown prince spread, the court was like an explosion. For a while, I don't know how many people gathered their mentors and friends in the same year to analyze the current situation and discuss countermeasures; How many people are fighting at night, waving their pens and writing twists and turns.

Within a few days, Chen Jianjun received hundreds of memorabilia, most of which persuaded the emperor to dispel the idea of abolishing the crown prince. There were also a small number of expressions of support for the emperor.

This small part is either a friend of the Jin family, or a person who intends to take advantage of the opportunity to take the throne, thinking that in the midst of opposition, only if he expresses his support for the emperor's abolition, maybe he will be able to get the emperor's favor.

In this small part of the recital, Chen Jianjun picked out some good literary ones and brought them to the court, and asked the eunuch Bingbi to read them aloud, indicating that there were still some people with clear brains who supported his decision.

Xie Qian, a scholar, stood up to refute the views in these folds one by one, and cited them from the side, which was reasonable and well-founded, and attracted the approval of the courtiers below.

Chen Jianjun was very disappointed, brushed his sleeves away, returned to the Maoqin Palace, and sat sulking by himself. When he first decided to abolish the crown prince, he was still a little unbearable. But now seeing those courtiers so blatantly opposing his decision-making, and at the same time unabashedly expressing their support for Chen Youcong, made him resentful, and instead made up his mind to abolish Chen Youcong.

In the next few days, anyone who persuaded the emperor to give up the idea of abolishing the crown prince was rejected by Chen Jianjun. Chen Jianjun said that which son will inherit his throne, he, the old man, has the final say, whether you say it or not, and no matter what ancestral rules are mentioned, whether the elders are established or not, they will not be ignored.

The courtiers couldn't help but be at a loss.

Around the same time, Xie Qian began to close his doors.

Some time ago, his contemporaries and protégés almost broke his threshold. Everyone was counting on him to come up with an effective way to stop Chen Jianjun from scrapping the reserve. Because once Chen Youcong is deposed, those who follow him, including Xie Qian, will also be excluded and suppressed.

However, Xie Qian had already discovered that relying on intensive persuasion and sparseness, instead of making Chen Jianjun change his mind, it would make him more disgusted and jealous of the prince. So not only did he stop talking about persuading the emperor, but he also restrained those who followed him not to discuss this matter lightly.

Privately, he had other plans. Through Huai'en, he made an appointment with Zhang Weizhao to come to the house for a secret talk. Zhang Weizhao disguised himself, quietly entered the Xie Mansion through the back door, and stayed for more than an hour before leaving.

By the end of September, the courtiers in the court basically expressed their positions, and those who should have stood in line stood in line, and there were no new topics to talk about, and the number of twists and turns against the abolition of the crown prince to the emperor became less and less day by day.

Chen Jianjun saw that the time was almost up, and began to think about how to write the edict of the abolished prince and when it would be officially released.

On this day, he had just finished handling government affairs in the Maoqin Palace, and came to Xinuan Pavilion to relax for a while, when Huaien came in to report that Zhaoming Zhenren asked to see him.

"What?" Chen Jianjun didn't seem to understand, and asked Huai En.

Wynne said slowly but clearly, "Zhaoming Zhenren asks to see." ”

Chen Jianjun stared at Huai En for a while. Zhang Weizhao is neither a courtier nor a concubine, where is she qualified to come to Xinuan Pavilion to ask for a meeting? She was able to come here because Wynne released the water.

Huai En is inclined to the crown prince, Chen Jianjun has long known it. It's just that he believes that no matter how much Huai'en is inclined to the crown prince, he will first put him, the emperor, first, or how to give him the name Huai'en? But now he has actually learned to make small movements behind his back?

Zhang Weizhao came here just to intercede for Chen Youcong. Chen Jianjun sneered in his heart. On that day, he, the king of a country, almost gave up all his face to express his affection to Zhang Weizhao, but she refused to be thousands of miles away. Now because of Chen Youcong's matter, she is willing to put down the shelf and dredge the internal officials to ask for a meeting. Well, let's see what she has to say.

"Xuan in." Chen Jianjun said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" Wynne withdrew.

Not long after, Zhang Weizhao came in to greet him. After Libi stood up, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but look her up and down. She has lost weight and appears taller. It was still the same blue sermon robe, hanging empty on her. The red marks on her cheeks had lightened, but they had not completely faded, as if someone had carefully painted the strange moire patterns on her temples and sides of her cheeks with Danzhu, giving her a mysterious and ethereal beauty.

Misery did not hit her, but carved her more delicately like a carving knife. Her eyes became clearer, her demeanor became more quiet, she just stood here, without any decoration, without pretending to be a gesture, which made Chen Jianjun feel that all the beauties she had seen before were overshadowed.

Before Chen Jianjun saw her, he kept fantasizing in his heart about how to sarcastically mock her and let her return.

And once I saw her, I felt a throbbing pain in my heart, and I couldn't say anything sarcastic. Even for a moment, he almost wanted to burst out, as long as she was willing to stay and stay by his side with him, he would immediately give up the resolution to abolish the crown prince.

But Chen Jianjun still resisted this impulse and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Zhang Weizhao stretched out his palm, and there were three copper coins in her palm.

"It's an eventful time, and I want to give your majesty a hexagram."

Chen Jianjun stared at these copper coins, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart. I think that at the beginning, when he just started to "practice" with Zhang Weizhao, Zhang Weizhao used the same action, spread out his palm in front of him, and there were three copper coins in his palm, saying that he wanted to divinate a hexagram for him and see what God had to show him.

At that time, the original hexagram he came out was the Tun hexagram, and the hexagram was the need hexagram, Zhang Weizhao explained the hexagram, implying that he would live longer than he expected, breaking his death anxiety.

At that time, he was afraid that he would die at the age when his father died, that is, at the age of thirty-eight. And this year he is forty-one years old, and he is still alive and well.

Now at the critical juncture of the discussion of abolishing the reserve, Zhang Weizhao proposed to divinate for him.

"Good!" Chen Jianjun sneered and said, "Let's see what I can do this time." ”

He called Wynne to fetch clean water, washed his hands first, and then washed the copper coins himself. Then he asked Wynne to prepare the pen and paper, and brought the I Ching. Since the last divination, he has spent a lot of effort studying the "Book of Changes", and this time he wants to compare the "Book of Changes" to see what kind of hexagram he has divined, and no one wants to distort the hexagram to deceive him.

Chen Jianjun sat solemnly behind the table, put the copper coin in his palm, and silently congratulated the sky. Zhang Weizhao stood solemnly beside the table, his eyes half-lowered.

Wynne leaned down on the low table next to him, taking notes.

In a matter of moments, Chen Jianjun threw three copper coins six times. The hexagram has already appeared, the original hexagram is shocked from the top, it is the devouring hexagram, and the hexagram is shocked from the bottom to the top, it is the shock hexagram.

The devouring hexagram is not auspicious, it means that there are many obstacles and chaos in the things you want. The original meaning of the hexagram is a lightning strike, which means that there is a great turmoil coming.

Chen Jianjun carefully studied the hexagrams he had drawn against the Book of Changes, put down the book after a long time, frowned and said to Zhang Weizhao: "What did you do?" Why did I make such a hexagram? ”
