Chapter 24: The Furnace
Shen Zheng heard his name.
It's ridiculous.
The chaos in the court has reached this level, and the demon clan actually opened his mouth to attack the little official in charge, even though Shen Xingzhong is the head of Confucianism, it can't change the fact that this is the lion attacking the dung beetle with all his might.
Because of this, Shen Zheng did not feel afraid or threatened at all, and Confucianism was not in danger, but was hit by flies flying around.
But gradually, he also noticed the abnormality of one of the princes, and the performance of the four princes was extremely different.
He did not lose his mind and, despite his steadfast support for the prince in the melee, did not attack anyone.
But that doesn't change the big picture.
The Emperor finally spoke.
"Xuan. ”
The eunuch respectfully saluted the throne, and then raised the decree and recited it.
"Chahan was ineffective, and I was disappointed, and I was demoted to a commoner, and I was never hired. ”
Everyone quickly turned their faces to look at the expressions of the people around them, and then turned back to look at the emperor.
The hall was very quiet.
"The prince doesn't know anyone, he doesn't fit my heart, and he is abolished. ”
The Six Princes shouted excitedly, and although the voice was small, everyone heard it.
The Four Princes stood up: "Please take back ......"
The Emperor stood up with a smile and turned to leave.
It's like a grand drama, the moment the climax finally comes, the protagonist leaves.
All the actors and the audience looked at the empty stage at a loss, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to do.
"Who is the new crown prince?"
Everyone wanted to ask this question, but no one asked it.
"Scatter!"
Shen Zheng slowly stood on the white jade bridge and looked at the Jinshui River.
"I didn't dare to speak. ”
It was the first time for Yu Wen to show such an expression, he had promised to help attack the crown prince, but he didn't do it.
"You're right not to say anything. Shen Zheng let out a long sigh, his eyes were foggy, and he didn't know where the road under his feet would lead, "The world is in chaos......
"...... in the end"
"There won't be a prince," Shen Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, "It's really a top master, who would have thought ......"
Yu Wen really felt shocked, he was originally just surprised why the emperor did not announce a new crown prince, but he did not expect that the emperor would not elect a new crown prince.
"No one believes it, the country can't be shaken, the prince always has it, right?"
Shen Zheng smiled, and as he spoke, he felt the biting cold, and he almost couldn't help but shiver.
Yu Wen looked at Shen Zheng in surprise: "Really don't set up a prince?"
"Who to appoint?" Shen Zheng turned around and walked towards the gate of the imperial city, "If you don't set up a prince for a day, all princes will have ambitions and want to perform desperately, Your Majesty doesn't like this?"
Yu Wen walked silently for a long time, and only when he walked out of the imperial city did he let out a long sigh: "Between father and son, why ...... like this?"
"There are only kings and ministers in the heavenly family, not fathers and sons. ”
Shen Zheng was walking towards the Eighth Prince's mansion, Yuan Qing couldn't wait to run back to celebrate, he would soon want to ask Shen Zheng some questions.
"What about Confucianism?"
"Everything is tied to the Six Princes. ”
"Alas......" Yu Wen sighed and separated from Shen Zheng at the intersection.
Walking into the prince's mansion, Yuan Qing was already waiting in the study, he was very excited, but it was difficult to say that he was a little more angry, or a little more expectant.
"What the hell is he trying to do?"
"Choose the best, regardless of the old. Shen Zheng knew that he must not say anything that would make the six princes unhappy, "From this point of view, only you are the best candidate." ”
Yuan Qing laughed.
"A country cannot be without a prince for a day. ”
Shen Zheng nodded.
In the long history, Confucianism has relied on influencing the crown prince many times to get the opportunity to occupy the court, and "fighting for the country" is what Confucianism likes to do, and they are already very good at it.
"But His Majesty is not easily persuaded. ”
"Please sir teach me. ”
Yuan Qing's feelings were sincere, and Shen Zheng was deeply moved, and he hurriedly saluted the six princes.
"It only happened in a few days. Shen Zheng said, he was a little emotional, everything happened too fast, "The cause is actually Qin Tianjian's prophecy." ”
"It is precisely because of the prophecy of the birth of a dragon that the prince made a mistake in his busyness, and Wang Baobao was very human, but his superhuman move of completely mastering an important imperial town in Wuchang with six imperial guards almost instantly was the reason why His Majesty had to depose Cha Khan. ”
"After that, there will be a deposed prince, everyone can see it clearly, Chahan is not there, the prince can't stay, but after that, the prince will not be established......"
Shen Zheng didn't dare to tell the facts, the fact is that because Yuan Qing was too eager, he and his brothers attacked the prince without scruples, and even directly made sarcastic remarks at the banquet on the Halloween Festival, which made the emperor very disappointed and angry, so that there would be an unexpected result of not appointing the prince.
"Your Majesty just wants to see the abilities of the princes. ”
Yuan Qing nodded deeply, he felt that what Shen Zheng said was completely correct, and it seemed to have something to gain, but it was still a little vague.
"So what do I do?"
It was an overly broad concept to show superiority, and Yuan Qing only knew that he was far superior to all his brothers, but he did not know how to convince the emperor to believe this.
"The dragon is the cause, and I'm afraid it will be the result. ”
Yuan Qing walked up excitedly, he spun around on the ground, and sighed: "Yes, Qin Tian's words must be in the middle, isn't the abolition of the crown prince just because Xinlong has entered the game, and the overall situation has changed!"
"So, where is the dragon now?"
"Jinling is not only dead, but also a number of high-ranking officials in Jiangnan are dead. ”
An iron tower-like demon clan answered this question coldly behind Shen Zheng.
"Such a big thing, you can't ignore it," Yuan Qing nodded, "Let's go to Jinling." ”
"Yes!"
......
The air was cold, damp, and bitterly cold.
Goshawks don't hate such weather.
Autumn, Lu Bai, the gas is golden, the white tiger is in charge, and the main kill.
This is a time when you can kill people without violating the way of heaven, and no Legalist disciple will not like it.
He wore a long cloak, and his black clothes swayed in the wind, and gradually, the goshawk put away his disguise.
It's been a long time since he's needed to do something with all his might like this.
The gate of the eastern city is one of the seven gates of Wuchang, but the gate directly east of this majestic city is very shabby, not only low, but also looks very dilapidated.
The goshawk stood in front of the soldiers who prevented him from leaving the city and opened his right hand.
Then a soldier stepped forward.
"Come with me. ”
They didn't go far before they saw two officials lazily drinking tea in a teahouse.
The two of them, one fat and one thin, one black and one white, sat together, exactly the same height, just like a person sitting next to a haha mirror, a little funny.
"Catch the wind, Bu Feng. ”
"Catch the shadow, Zhuo Ying. ”
