Chapter 188: The Eighth Prince Rebelled
Zhao Yunjing's wedding banquet, everything was normal before the emperor came.
The guests were all familiar friends and neighbors who had a lot of contacts, the prince in the palace, Princess Jinling and others were not polite, and among the three princes and six secretaries, except for Wei Guogong, no one else came uninvited, let alone the six servants who were not on the banquet list.
Everyone in the six bachelors of the cabinet is angry, but they are here, but they have been drinking in the corner, reflecting on why they have been calculated by a hairy guy when they have lived to this age.
Later, when the emperor came, the atmosphere of the wedding banquet became serious, and the guests began to be restrained, everyone wanted to go but didn't dare to go, wanted to see but didn't dare to look, this meal was so painful, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao saw the emperor for the first time, and they were excited and wanted to faint.
Then the two of them literally fainted.
Because the eighth prince, the eighth prince of the first emperor, the son of the snow concubine who was deeply loved by the first emperor, surrounded the Zhuangyuan Mansion with 30,000 elite soldiers, and took out a 'testament', saying that he wanted the emperor to return the throne to him, and also forced the last courtier Wei Guogong to see before the first emperor died, and asked him to swear with the life of the whole tribe, saying that what he said after meeting the first emperor at that time was true.
Of course, Wei Guogong swore that even if he was lying at the time, the current emperor is still the emperor, how could he turn against him?
But the eighth prince insisted that at that time, the emperor's edict was to let the emperor inherit the throne, and it was the current emperor who relied on himself to be the crown prince, and the queen at that time united with several scholars in the cabinet, deceived the whole world, and took his throne!
The emperor was besieged, he didn't panic at all, and he sat at the table and drank calmly: "So the eighth prince, are you going to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne today?" ”
"I'm not plotting to usurp the throne! I'm going to get back what belongs to me! ”
"The Eighth Emperor Brother said, this throne is your thing, where do you start? With the edict of the first emperor in your hand? But the people of the world, who can know whether this edict is true or false? If you come over with a fake edict today, Lone will have to give way, and tomorrow the Seventh Emperor Brother will also come over with a testament, then do you have to give way too? ”
"I am my father's favorite child, and he must have left me the throne! He told me about it himself! ”
The Emperor did not speak.
Zhao Yunjing had just been pulled back from the door of the new house by Chen Gongzi, and his breath was not even even, when he was pushed out by Chen Gongzi, so he instantly became the focus of the audience.
The eighth prince stared at Zhao Yunjing, his eyes flashing with fire: "Champion! Today's emperor is mediocre and incompetent, you are a talented and capable person, I believe you will make the right choice! Lone promises you, as long as you stand on my side, when Lone becomes the emperor, Lone will immediately let you enter the cabinet! Be the first assistant! ”
Zhao Yunjing straightened his own wedding clothes, straightened his hair crown, and then arched his hand and said: "Back to the eighth prince, the minister standing up does not agree with you, nor does it mean that he chooses you, the minister stands up to ask the prince." Since the first emperor valued the prince so much, why didn't he make you the crown prince? Why don't you let you be in prison? Is it because you are reluctant to be tired? Or was it because you didn't like it at the time? ”
Zhao Yunjing's four consecutive questions made the eighth prince speechless, and everyone nodded frequently when they heard it.
Yes, if the first emperor really valued him so much, why didn't he just make him the crown prince early, and why didn't he let him supervise the country?
The latter sentence is even more ridiculous.
Who wouldn't love to be an emperor? That's the lord of the world, the Ninety-Five Supreme!
The eighth prince is crazy, stupid, and he won't like it!
Zhao Yunjing didn't feel how annoying his words were at all, and added fuel to the fire and said: "Since the prince didn't like the throne at that time, and the first emperor didn't change you to the crown prince, this means that you and the first emperor have reached a consensus to give up inheriting the throne, so after the first emperor passed away, it is logical for the prince to succeed to the throne." ”
"But he is incompetent, and after more than ten years on the throne, there have been several rounds of natural and man-made disasters! Countless people starved to death! ”
"The eighth prince is a genius, so he must have done no less than the people's benefit and meritorious dedication to Daliang. Kechen thought about it, and he couldn't figure out which important livelihood project was led by you, Lord Wang. Even in those two natural disasters, the prince did not open a warehouse to release grain, let alone go to the front line to support, but went to Chengde to escape the summer. ”
The eighth prince choked.
Zhao Yunjing said: "And although the emperor has not yet reached the standard of the first emperor through the ages, he has at least led countless livelihood projects, and he has personally commanded the front line during the natural disaster, and the post-disaster reconstruction has almost exhausted the treasury, and the emperor has almost taken back the valuable things he rewarded to the various palace concubines, and let people sell them in other countries and bring them back in exchange for grain.
So the minister also wants to ask, at that time, why didn't you go to the front line to comfort and relieve the disaster, because you felt that you were not the emperor, so the people of the world had nothing to do with you?
But the prince, this world is the world of the people, this beam, is the beam of the people, you want to be the lord of the world, but you don't want to take the people to heart - you just want to enjoy, you don't want to take responsibility, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”
The eighth prince's face is green, Zhao Yunjing is very good-looking, but he has a long mouth, is this mouth talking? It's squirting knives from this mouth!
"Who says I don't have a people in me? Who said I didn't want to do things for the people? But I'm just a prince with no power, what can I do? ”
"Look at what you said, you don't have power so you can't do anything, and the people don't have power, so don't they even have to live?"
"Don't ask, if you want him to do something, you have to give him the throne first, otherwise the life and death of the people in the world have nothing to do with him." Zhou Mujiao arrived in a red dress, she stared at the eighth prince, her red lips opened slightly, "Isn't it the prince?" ”
"Who said that the eighth prince didn't do anything?"
An old female voice came in from the door, and it was Mrs. Li!
30,000 elite soldiers blocked the entire imperial capital, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion was so dense that mosquitoes couldn't fly in, this old lady Li was able to swagger in through the door!
The eighth prince knew that something had happened and just wanted to run.
But he couldn't run!
The archers on the courtyard wall who were originally facing the emperor will all point at him!
There are traitors in his ranks! His 30,000 elite soldiers have rebelled!
Mrs. Li said: "When the Lingnan flood and mudslide occurred, the prince almost lost his life in order to escort the disaster relief silver and materials. ”
The eighth prince stared at Mrs. Li, only feeling that she was very familiar, and the emperor was also staring at her, and Wei Guogong next to him reminded him, and he woke up: "You are from the Li family!" The wife of the governor of Liangguang is as white as frost! You're not dead?! ”
"Ask the emperor Hongfu, the old body is alive and well, come here alive, and ask the prince and the emperor a word!"
Old Mrs. Li saluted the emperor first, "The old man wants to ask, was the evidence of my husband's corruption and perversion of the law handed over by the eighth prince, or was it verified by the emperor's six doors?"
The Li family was beheaded by the whole family, the clansmen were exiled or confiscated into the army, many people died on the road, and they didn't blink their eyes. ”
The emperor said: "At that time, the evidence of Lord Li's embezzlement was personally presented by the eighth prince, and the six doors visited all parties to verify, and Lone finally saw the complete chain of evidence and handed it over to his father, who personally judged it. ”
"But my husband told me before he died that he hadn't touched the silver! Those who survived the robbery of the disaster silver also said that when my husband led people over, the car of the eighth prince was empty! There's nothing in it! ”
"Also." Zhou Mujiao spoke up, "What are the 30,000 soldiers and horses besieging the city used by the Eighth Prince?" The folk girl also wanted to ask. ”
The emperor's face changed.
Mrs. Li knelt down: "The case of the Li family back then was full of suspicions, and the women asked the emperor to retry the case!" ”
