The situation in Beijing became sudden, and after a forced palace, Emperor Tianqing entered the Guangning Palace and never came out.

The son of Yongzhao appeared, the king of Xiling died, the Taimiao collapsed and the old case eight years ago was revealed, and all the ministers in the court were panicked.

On the night of the palace banquet, the prince ordered the three divisions to retry the old Yongzhao case in the name of the prince, and the next day, led by Zhan Changdong, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple began to investigate all the files of the old case, investigate the evidence presented in the palace banquet of Zheng Weiyong, and arrest all the relevant people.

Princess Yongzhao's case is not complicated, Zheng Weiyong came forward to testify, and the evidence is conclusive, plus Yuan Sheng, the son of King Xiling, personally admitted that the token of King Xian of Nanyue that was confiscated from Yongzhao Mansion was secretly sent to the capital by his father, King Xiling, and was later used by Emperor Tianqing to marry Yongzhao.

Eight years ago, everything was clear.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, all the evidence was sent to the East Palace by the three divisions, and what Emperor Tianqing did was also spread throughout the capital.

No one thought that Princess Yongzhao, who was so prosperous as the rising sun back then, would actually die in vain, and he didn't expect that Emperor Tianqing framed his loyal ministers because of his own selfishness, and weaved a big unjust case in the name of rebellion.

The crown prince locked himself in the East Palace for two whole days, and when he came out again, he ordered Emperor Tianqing to be recorded in the history books and edicted to the world, bluntly saying that he was not virtuous and worthy of being a king, and even issued an edict on behalf of his father in the name of the prince.

"Your Highness, how can you go to the edict for Your Majesty?!" Wu Jinliang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Emperor Tianqing's actions are indeed unbearable, and he is also very disgusted that Emperor Tianqing viciously wants to overthrow him on the throne, but the matter of "abolishing the emperor" must not be done by the prince.

The son does not discuss the father's fault, let alone take the blame for Emperor Tianqing.

Let's not say that the prince abolished his biological father, and there will be literati who are pedantic and disobedient, let's just say that the prince was not involved in the matter of the year.

His position as the prince was determined by the first emperor, and he also turned against Emperor Tianqing because of his desire to overturn the case for Yongzhao, and no one could blame him for the old things, but once he made an edict for his father, it was tantamount to bowing his head in front of Xue Nuo, and it would make people think that he acquiesced to what King Xiling said before his death at the palace banquet that day.

Xue Nuo now has the military power talisman in hand, and she has An Guogong, the eldest princess, and some old ministers of Yongzhao to help her.

If the crown prince retreats again, it will really be a surrender of the throne!

Wu Jinliang saw that the prince was unmoved, and couldn't help but hurriedly said to his side: "Yuanfu, you are persuading Your Highness!" ”

Shen Zhongkang looked at the eager courtiers, and saw that they were all persuading the prince, and even scolded An Guogong and Xue Nuo for their ambitions, saying that the prince was confused.

He only asked calmly: "Your Highness, do you know that once this guilty edict is issued, Your Majesty will no longer sit on the throne, and you will also be implicated by it." ”

"Eight years ago, you were young, and after Yongzhao was convicted, you have always wanted to Zhaoxue for him, everyone in the court knows that you are the princess of Yongzhao, and you have been against Your Majesty for many years, and you have taken care of Yongzhao's old ministers, if you ignore this matter, you can stay out of the matter, after Ren Xuenuo is rehabilitated, you still have a kindness in Yongzhao Mansion."

"You are the crown prince appointed by the first emperor, and you are the prince of the great cause, even if Xue Nuo wants to compete with you for the throne with the military power, she will not be able to take the righteousness."

Decades have passed since the affairs of Prince Xuanwen and the first emperor, and all the people related to the year have almost died cleanly, and the first emperor is not like Emperor Tianqing, who will leave a future trouble, even if King Xiling said a few words before his death, but there is no empirical evidence and no witnesses of the year, it is not so easy to find out the truth.

If the statement that the first emperor won the throne is not true, then no one can shake the position of the prince.

The prince's face was clear, and when he heard the words, he said, "Lone knows." ”

"Then why does Your Highness still issue an edict against himself!" Wu Jinliang said urgently.

The crown prince looked at several old ministers in the palace for a long time before speaking: "Do you know that the news of King Xiling's death has been transmitted back to Shuozhou?" ”

The faces of several people in the hall changed slightly.

"My father killed the king of Xiling in the name of rebellion, and Yuan Sheng was also captured by An Guogong, with the ambition of the Yuan family over the years, the Shuozhou mutiny is a matter of time."

The prince held the seal fold in his hand as he spoke, spread it out and handed it to Shen Zhongkang, "This is the battle report sent back by Ganping yesterday, and the Marquis of Dingyuan said that the Beidi army has moved, and several border towns have also entered Beidi's spies. ”

"He sent people into Beidi to inquire about the news, saying that the heavy snow froze the cattle and sheep of several tribes in Beidi a year ago, and even the land of the Beidi royal court was seriously affected.

Shen Zhongkang took the fold and his expression sank.

"The people of Beidi are brave, once the war starts, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who can fight, and if Shuozhou mutinies again at this time, what will the great cause use to fight the enemy?"

The prince looked at the few people whose faces changed and said,

"Lone knows what you mean, and I also know that if Lone occupies the position of the prince, even if Yuan Jing has the intention of seizing power, it will be difficult to take the capital in a short time, and there are still some hole cards in Lone's hand, with your help, and then in the name of the prince, call the king of Qinwang from all over the country, and Yuan Jing may not have no chance of winning if he fights to the death."

"But I don't want to."

The prince looked up at the blooming cold plums outside the hall, the red clouds were like fire, and the unmelted snow was particularly scorching.

"The court is not a hunting ground for the game between Lone and Yuan Jing, and the people of the world are not a game that can be abandoned at any time, Lone does not like the throne, but if it is at the cost of the chaos in the world and the destruction of the great cause, Lone is unwilling."

"Your Highness!"

Wu Jinliang and the others all heard the meaning of the prince's words, and the prince actually wanted to give up the throne to Na Xuenuo!

Shen Zhongkang took the initiative to come forward to appease Xue Nuo as early as the prince's Chinese New Year's Eve, and later did not hesitate to let the people of the third division reveal the evidence found in the old case to the world, and when he heard him say it so clearly, he still felt tight in his heart.

The prince smiled gently: "Yuan Jing is very smart, and his mind and means are more suitable for being this emperor than Lone." ”

"Lone has already agreed with him, after his father's crime is implemented, Lone will take the initiative to quit the court and become an idle king, and you will still stay in office at that time, with his temperament, as long as you don't do disobedient things and don't rebel against the court, he will not treat you lightly because you have followed Lone."

"Prince ......"

Some people are anxious to persuade.

The prince said: "Lone's mind has been decided, and Lone has completely handed over the four battalions on the outskirts of Beijing and the Anhe garrison to Xiao Chi in the name of the prince. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they instantly fell silent, and even those who wanted to persuade him again opened their mouths to look at the prince's face pale.

Xue Nona's talisman can indeed control the army, but after so many years of missing talismans, Emperor Tianqing was afraid of the ability of talismans and tried to abandon talismans in the army.

As long as the prince is still there, those generals in the army may not really all obey Xue Nuo's orders completely, but the prince is good, and a will will go down to help Xue Nuo and them subdue the hearts of the army.

A group of old ministers left the East Palace in a hurry, and Shen Zhongkang looked at the prince and stopped talking.

Shen Zhongkang said: "Do you really want her to ascend the throne?" ”

The crown prince thought about the night when Xue Nuo stood in front of him, stretched out his hand and said to him that he wanted the throne, and said in a low voice: "If he is incompetent, even if his father owes him and his aunt, I will not give in, but he has the ability to sit on the throne, and he can also deter the courtiers with his means, I don't want to fight him to the death." ”

"Besides, even Changyuan has already chosen the master, thinking that Yuan Jing is Mingjun, isn't it?"

Shen Zhongkang remembered that he had followed Xue Nuo to the Grand Princess Mansion since Chinese New Year's Eve, and Shen Qi, who had not returned to the Shen family for nearly half a month, couldn't help but look dark.

Where did the rabbit cub choose Mingjun, he is clearly lustful and dizzy!!

"Your Highness, in fact, Xue Nuo ......"

"I'm fine."

The prince only thought that Shen Zhongkang was trying to persuade him, so he chuckled and said,

"Don't worry, Yuan Jing was taught by Xue Chen and his aunt, he just looked ruthless, but in fact, there are hills and valleys in his heart, otherwise if he is bent on revenge, he will not suppress the Taimiao and Guangning Temple, and the matter has not been known to others."

It is mediocre for his father to murder the courtiers, and he can stay out of the matter, but if the people of the world know about the atrocities of his father against Aunt Yongzhao and the truth about the collapse of the Taimiao, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the people of the world will be biased towards Xue Nuo.

Xue Nuo already has military power in her hands, and the royal family has no righteousness, even if she really lifts the imperial city, crosses him and takes the throne, no one will think that she has lost the royal family.

"Yuan Jing is merciful."

The prince's eyebrows were gentle, "I have been the prince for so many years, I may not be able to let go for a while, but I have decided that I will not regret it, Yuan Jing is a good one, you and Changyuan will assist him well, and you will definitely make the great cause more prosperous." ”

Shen Zhongkang was stunned when he heard the prince's words, and his originally worried eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Xue Nuo did not tell the truth about Taimiao to the world?

……

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the crown prince issued an edict on behalf of Emperor Tianqing, abolished the throne of Emperor Tianqing, and restored the position of princess regent of Yongzhao, and his children Yuan Yao and Yuan Jing re-entered the royal jade plate.

The crown prince took the initiative to cede the military power in Beijing, and Xue Nuo also set foot in the court in the name of Yuan Jing.

The crown prince is gentle and moist, calms the courtiers, and temporarily acts as a political officer.

Xue Nuo was in charge of the military power to vigorously investigate the different parties in the DPRK and China, and screened the Jinlinwei, the forbidden army, the Terracotta Division and the entire four battalions in the suburbs of Beijing from beginning to end, and those who conspired with the King of Xiling, Feng Yuan and others were beheaded or arrested, and almost all those who secretly communicated with the vassal king in a vain attempt to take advantage of the chaos were also imprisoned.

When there was a rumor in Beijing, the court originally thought that the situation of the confrontation between the crown prince and Xue Nuo did not appear, and the two maintained an extremely strange balance of literature and martial arts, but quickly suppressed the turmoil in the court after Emperor Tianqing was deposed.

In less than a month, the capital has been restored to before the forced palace, and the people in the court and the central government have performed their duties, and the thriving seems to have never had a dispute over the throne.

At the beginning of February, Shuozhou Yuan Jiaxing rebelled, Beidi sent troops to harass Ganping, and when the news was transmitted back to the capital, the surface peace of the DPRK and China was completely torn apart.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the matter of the throne has been put on the bright side.

The crown prince ordered the court to worship the ancestors on the tenth day of the first month, and Xue Nuo lived in the main hall of the East Palace on the ninth night of the first month.
