When he saw the pile of weird and terrifying puppets, he was so angry that he issued a holy decree overnight.

The content of the holy decree was to remove the imperial status of the Ten Princes, demote the Ten Princes to concubines, and exile them to the border three thousand miles away to perform hard labor.

At the same time, Emperor Jianyuan also issued several holy decrees.

Those palace maids and eunuchs involved in this matter were all ordered to be killed by him.

Even Daoist Jia was executed by Ling Chi!

As for the crown prince of Zongren Mansion, he was ordered by Emperor Jianyuan to restore the position of prince.

As a prince, even if he is deposed, he also has a separate courtyard in the Zongren Mansion, and he can also bring palace maids and eunuchs to serve him.

In the early morning of the third day of the sixth lunar month, Pei Xuanling read in the hall as usual.

Huang Dechang is boiling tea in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a group of eunuchs entered the courtyard and went straight to the hall.

Huang Dechang, who was burning the fire in the courtyard, glanced at the group of eunuchs, couldn't help but turn his eyes slightly, and followed into the hall.

I saw that the group of eunuchs first knelt down to the prince, "His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"......" Pei Xuanling didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fell on the page, "You are mistaken, I am not a prince, I am just an ordinary concubine, that's all." ”

"Don't you know, the emperor ordered the restoration of your position as prince last night." The eunuch at the head got up and went back.

Pei Xuanling raised his head and glanced coldly at the eunuchs in the room, "Since my father has restored my position as the prince?" There has to be a reason, what is the reason? ”

"......" This can confuse the group of eunuchs who spread the word.

They are just responsible for passing the word, anyway, the emperor only said to let the prince out of the Zongren Mansion, but he didn't say why he let the prince out of the Zongren Mansion?

As a result, when the prince asked like this, he couldn't fix them all.

Besides, as the emperor, the emperor wants to restore the crown prince to the throne, but in one sentence, do you need any reason?

The eunuch at the head scratched his forehead, "Your Highness, the emperor only said that you would restore your position as the prince and let you go to Longyuan Palace, but other than that, he didn't say anything else." ”

Speaking of this, he also said to Huang Dechang on the side: "Father-in-law Huang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to see the emperor, you can boil water and wait for His Highness to bathe, and help His Highness change into court clothes." ”

"......" Huang Dechang didn't reply, just turned his head to look at the prince.

"The position of the prince is not a child's play, since there is no reason, then I can't leave the Zongren Mansion." Pei Xuanling continued to read, "Besides, I have a very comfortable stay in this Zongren Mansion, and I plan to stay here for a long time, so I won't go back to the East Palace." ”

These days, my father is sick in bed, and many things cannot be investigated in person, and it is what the people below say is what it is.

And that Daoist Jia took advantage of his father's illness to be confused, and he blew the demon wind in his father's ears.

If it weren't for his people to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and then let the hidden forces quietly tell his father all the truth, I'm afraid that my father would still be kept in the dark.

Oh, when his father abolished him, he listed so many of his crimes and made him a heinous sinner.

Now that he has been restored to the position of prince, he has asked a few eunuchs to come to the Zongren Mansion to spread the word, trying to whitewash the peace.

Let him go out in such an unclear way, how should the world view him?

The corners of the eunuch's mouth twitched slightly at the head of "......".

Today, when he received the emperor's will, he brought people to come over happily to spread the word.

I thought that the crown prince had been confined in the Zongren Mansion for so long, and he would definitely be very happy to learn that he could return to the East Palace and restore the position of the prince, maybe they would be able to receive the reward.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince refused to return to the East Palace on the grounds that "the emperor restored the position of the prince for no reason", and he had to live in the Zongren Mansion for a long time.

The prince is crazy, right? What's so good about this Sect?!

Shouldn't you have been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for a long time, and your brain is not open, right?

Lai refused to go out in the Zongren Mansion!

also kept saying that he was not the prince, but as a result, he had to ask the emperor to give a reason to restore the position of the prince, what a big row!

The eunuch headed by "Your Royal Highness......" said with a shy face: "Don't you know, the emperor has been dragging his sick body to deal with a lot of things in the past few days, maybe he can't be busy for a while, and when you go to Longyuan Hall to get together with the emperor's father and son, I think the emperor will tell you the reason." ”

Although the emperor didn't say that he would give the prince a reason, he fooled the prince out first and got this errand done.

The rest is between the emperor and the crown prince.

"I don't need my father to tell me a reason, what I need is for my father to give a reason to the people of the world!" Pei Xuanling's voice was low and resolute, "What I need is not only to restore the position of the prince, but to restore my reputation!" ”

It was useless for the eunuch at the head to talk about it, so he had to kneel down, "Your Highness, this Zongren Mansion is not where you live, since the emperor has restored your position as the prince, why don't you go back to the East Palace?" ”

As he spoke, the rest of the eunuchs also knelt down.

Pei Xuanling: "I have made up my mind, you can go back." ”

Seeing that the prince insisted on refusing to leave the Zongren Mansion, those eunuchs had no choice but to leave the Zongren Mansion.

**

The prince refused to go out, and Emperor Jianyuan of Longyuan Hall couldn't take care of the prince for the time being.

Because he was already suffering from a head wind, and now he was so angry by those filial sons that he fell ill again after dealing with various affairs.

Moreover, this time it is even more sick than the last time.

In the early years, various old diseases that fell on the battlefield recurred, and he was diagnosed by the imperial doctor with thirst-quenching disease.

Since this illness, Emperor Jianyuan has often been in a trance, confused in thinking, unable to concentrate and concentrate, and hallucinates from time to time.

Even when he is sober, his temperament changes drastically, and his mood is very unstable.

However, even after being so ill, Emperor Jianyuan still refused to give power to anyone.

However, he doesn't take care of everything as much as he used to.

Only the most important things will be dealt with while he is sober.

The rest of the matter is handled by the various departments.

With a lack of illness, Emperor Jianyuan's longing for the southern tour had no choice but to give up.

However, when he was preparing for his southern tour, he also planned to inspect various rivers and water conservancy projects by the way.

Now he can't tour the south, but he has to send people to inspect the water conservancy in various places.

In the early morning of the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Emperor Jianyuan took advantage of the fact that his spirit was still good, so he called the princes to Longyuan Hall to talk about things.

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan was sitting on the top of the Longyuan Palace.

Now, no matter how energetic he is, he is not as good as before.

The face is already bronzed, but because the complexion is not very good, it looks darker than before.

Next, because King Kang went to the western border pass to quell the peasant uprising, he urged the western tuntian.

The ten princes were exiled for 3,000 li, and the prince was forbidden to the Zongren Mansion, and there were also King Mu, King Huai, Nine Princes, Six Princes, and Eleventh Princes...... and some young princes who have just come of age.

"Recently, I received a report from the south, saying that the seasons changed a while ago, and it rained for nearly a month, and several dikes were washed away by floods."

Emperor Jianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Throughout the ages, water control has been the focus of governing the country and the country. By the way, I will inspect the rivers and water conservancy projects in various places, and now it seems that it is impossible to patrol the south, but it is urgent to inspect the rivers and water conservancy, so I have decided to find a suitable person among you to patrol various places. ”

Hearing this, the princes avoided the emperor's eyes one after another, for fear of being chosen by the emperor.

Fortunately, Emperor Jianyuan did not name him directly, but asked: "Wait... But who wants to take over this errand? ”

As soon as these words came out, the next one was quiet, and no prince was willing to take on this errand.

Inspecting water conservancy in various places can not only appreciate the scenery of various places, but also brush up on the sense of existence among the people, and maybe win over officials from all over the world.

If the water conservancy projects in some places do not work, local officials will also bribe them with some money in private.

This kind of fat errand, if it is placed in normal times, the princes will rush to it even if they break their heads.

But now it's different, Emperor Jianyuan is seriously ill, and the princes want to stay in the capital, grasp the first-hand information in Beijing, and stabilize the situation in Beijing.

In case one day the emperor dies or dies, they will usurp the throne.

Therefore, after being quiet for a while, King Mu took the lead and said: "Father, in the eyes of the sons, the water conservancy affairs in various places should be managed by the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry. ”

King Huai: "Isn't the Ministry of Works under the control of the imperial brother?" According to Erchen's observation, it is most appropriate for the imperial brother to inspect the water conservancy in various places. ”

King Kang is not in the capital, and if the prince is sent out of the capital, then the capital will be in the hands of their King Mu and his party!

At that time, if the father and the emperor are bad, and the crown prince and King Kang are not in the capital, they can't do whatever they want?!

The ninth prince echoed: "The eldest brother and the fourth brother are right, since it is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, it should be the royal brother who patrols the water conservancy ...... in various places."

The crown prince and King Mu are both in Beijing, but the second brother is not in Beijing, which is very unfavorable to the second brother.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was crowding out the prince, he also added a fire, and he could squeeze out one by one anyway.

The rest of the princes also chimed in......

"My father ordered the restoration of the imperial brother's position as the prince a few days ago, but the imperial brother has been staying in the Zongren Mansion, and it is time to come out and take over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry."

"My father has given him the stairs, and my brother is still like this... It's really not the same......"

And so forth and so on......

Now that the older princes have lost half of them in the competition for the crown, some of the princes who have just come of age have also begun to eyeing the throne, and they want to take advantage of Emperor Jianyuan's serious illness to squeeze the prince out of the capital, so that they can have more opportunities......

When the sixth prince and the eleventh prince heard that the brothers wanted to squeeze the imperial brother out of the capital, they were anxious for the imperial brother.

But the eleventh master is seriously ill, and he must not be able to inspect the water conservancy in various places.

The sixth prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a little lacking in skills.

However, instead of letting the imperial brother leave Beijing at this critical moment, he was the one who was willing to leave Beijing.

Thinking of this, the sixth prince got up and said, "Father, the sons and daughters have invited themselves to go to various places to inspect water conservancy. ”

Before Emperor Jianyuan could answer, King Huai said: "Sixth, come on, you, how long have you taken over the Ministry of Rites, and you haven't even understood the Ministry of Rites, so you are thinking about interfering in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, can you manage it?" ”

The Ninth Prince: "Sixth brother, although you and the imperial brother have always been good and do not distinguish between each other, but in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, I think you should not interfere and leave it to the imperial brother to handle it......"
