Chapter 229: A Lose-Lose Situation
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
The emperor drank three bowls of herbal tea in a row before he suppressed his anger, and looked at the two pairs of mother and son kneeling on the ground with a dark face.
The prince fornicated with the palace concubine!
The fourth child raises private soldiers, and he wants to rebel against me!
These sons are really good!
If it weren't for the fact that the chess game had already been rolled out, the emperor would really want to drag these two sons out and cut them down...... Thinking of those bloody pictures, the emperor's throat was churning again.
You can't think about it anymore, the big picture is important!
"Gao Di's audacity is so bold that he pampered the prince to raise private soldiers, which is a heinous crime and is degraded to a ......"
"Your Majesty!" The noble concubine raised her upper body and called softly with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, she shouldn't have spoken out, but it was about her eldest brother, if the eldest brother lost his official position, she and her son would have to rely entirely on the Yu family and the Pei family in the future. The two families don't get along, and if they don't get along, their son and her will become puppets.
The emperor glanced at the noble concubine, and his eyes were so cold that the noble concubine's heart was furious.
"Gao Di criminals bully the king and degrade to a concubine!" The emperor was loud.
Boom, the noble concubine fell to the ground.
The Gao family is finished!
The emperor secretly sneered, if it weren't for the Gao family's chess piece, he would definitely order the family to be wiped out. Let's see who else dares to raise soldiers privately in the future and make him an emperor against!
The fourth prince shrunk his neck, eager to find a hole to get into, so that his father would not be able to see him, let alone help his uncle intercede.
The queen gloated. Concubine Gao has no brother Shangshu as a backer, how will she fight with her in the palace in the future?
The emperor looked at the empress's expression in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "The prince's virtue is corrupted, take back the prince's seal to see the aftermath." ”
The queen's smile froze on her face, almost suffocating.
Taking back the prince's seal is almost equivalent to abolishing the prince. Without the seal, the crown prince could not even handle the internal affairs of the East Palace on his own. The only difference is that he still has the title of a prince.
However, the queen did not dare to beg for mercy for her son.
Fornicating with the palace concubine is a big crime, and it is a great luck to be able to escape being imprisoned.
This dog-eat-dog, the crown prince, the four princes, a lose-lose.
"Get out of here!" The Emperor waved impatiently.
The queen's mother and son and the noble concubine's mother and son walked out of the emperor's study in disgrace.
At the door of the study, the two pairs of mother and son looked at each other hatefully, snorted at the same time, and walked away with their sleeves.
Mr. Ariya came out with Hyobe Langzhong.
Mr. Youya chuckled at Lang Zhong of the military department with a sharp edge, "It turns out that Lord Lin is a member of the Wang family~"
Bingbu Langzhong bowed down, his face was serious, "Taifu said with a smile." The whole world is not the king's land, and the officials of the Yun Dynasty are all courtiers of the emperor and are loyal to the emperor. The lower official still has affairs to deal with, so he retired first. ”
Mr. Youya clasped his hands in his sleeves and sighed as he looked at Leng Yue hanging in the air.
This is the whirlpool of earthly fame, and no one knows the outcome until the end......
In the study.
The emperor half-closed his eyes and said with a sigh, "Anshun, do you see, this is the power of the hundred-legged insect." ”
Originally, the prince had to lose a game of chess, but Wang made a move and immediately reversed the defeat.
The emperor already knew that the Langya Wang clan was powerful, so he pulled him into the game by giving marriage. He always thought that the Wang family was only prestigious in Shilin, but he didn't expect that there were also people in the military department.
The military department has always been under his strict control, but he still let the hundred-legged insect take advantage of the loophole!
The emperor couldn't help but feel a deep uneasiness in his heart.
The power of these families has infiltrated into the military department, how much power does he, the emperor, still hold in his hands?
"Anshun, send someone to check on this Lin Jin and see who is usually good friends with him."
The emperor would never allow other forces to interfere with the military department, which would make it difficult for him to sleep.
The next morning, the civil and military officials found that there were two people missing from the front of the team.
The crown prince and the four princes!
Everyone had doubts, but no one dared to ask.
From the moment the emperor came to the Golden Palace, he had a black face, and he looked like the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
"Anshun, proclamation."
An Shun bowed forward with the holy decree, unfolded, and sang, "The Book of Rites, Gao Dizhi, receive the decree~"
Gao Shangshu, who was standing at the front of the Ministry of Rites, flashed surprise in his eyes, stepped out of the column with small steps, and knelt on the ground, "Minister, listen to the holy oracle." ”
The emperor's expression made Gao Shangshu feel bad, and he knelt uneasily.
"The Ministry of Rites is still high, bold, and raises 10,000 private soldiers in Miyang, and the evidence is ......"
The matter of raising private soldiers has been revealed!
Gao Shangshu is like five thunderbolts.
Boom~
Without waiting for An Shun to finish reading the holy decree, Gao Shangshu's eyes were dazzled and he fainted.
"Immediately take off the official uniform, take off the official hat, and beat it out with a stick to set an example!"
After An Shun finished reading the holy decree, regardless of Gao Dizhi's fainting, he nodded at the guards standing on both sides.
A guard brought a bucket of ice water, poof, and splashed it all on Gao Dizhi's body.
Gao Dizhi woke up, and before he could react, the two eunuchs went up and down, took off his official hat, and stripped off his official uniform, leaving only the white middle coat and middle pants.
Another guard raised the killing rod high, snapped, and hit Gao Dizhi's body.
Gao Di screamed in pain, hugged his head and jumped out to avoid the killing stick.
Listening to that scream, many officials in the Golden Palace shrank their necks, especially those belonging to the Four Princes' faction.
Xie Shangshu and Chu Hui looked at each other.
The Dog Emperor insulted Gao Taizhi like this, he wanted to make an example of him!
Later, at the court meeting, the emperor reprimanded for more than an hour around the matter of raising private soldiers, and no other government affairs were handled.
When they dispersed, everyone found Gao Dizhi fainting and dying on the steps outside the Golden Palace, and his white shirt was full of blood.
"This age, suffering such a great crime, tsk...... Really, deservedly! Xie Shangshu smiled gloatingly.
Xie Shangshu likes to beat the water dog the most.
After going back, Xie Shangshu told Xie Xun about the scene that happened in the Golden Palace.
"The four princes are cowards, and they must have put all the blame on the Gao family." Xie Xun shook his head mockingly, "Supporting such a person, no matter what the outcome is, he deserves it." ”
Speaking of this, Xie Xun couldn't help but think of the Seventh Prince, who was only six years old.
I don't know what kind of character that kid is, but can he be responsible?
The last time they met was too short, and Xie Xun hadn't figured out the temperament of the Seventh Prince, so he couldn't be sure. Xie Xun, who has studied genetics, combined with the emperor's dog temperament, to be honest, Xie Xun is a little worried.
If the Seventh Prince and the Dog Emperor generally can't tolerate people, and they are seriously suspicious, Xie Xun shivered in the summer......
Concubine Gao and Concubine Gao Shu knelt outside the study for two hours, and the aunt and nephew were almost fainted by the sun, before the emperor relented and allowed the palace people to send Gao Yizhi back to his residence.
When Gao Shiqing received the news and hurried to the summer resort, Gao Dizhi was still in a coma.
Mrs. Gao cried and pounced on Gao Shiqing, squeezing Gao Shiqing's arm hard, "Qing'er, you go and beg the fourth prince and the noble concubine, your father's scholarly position can't be lost~"
There were still some children in the Gao clan who also came, and they nodded in agreement.
Gao Shiqing already knew why his father was masturbated in public in the Golden Palace in an almost insulting way.
The matter of raising private soldiers has been revealed!
The emperor attached great importance to military power, and as early as when their father and son decided to recruit the 10,000 men, they knew what the outcome would be if they were exposed.
It's just that their father and son are too self-righteous and think that everything is done secretly, but they forget the old saying that one hundred secrets are sparse.
The emperor was furious and wanted his father to be restored to his official position, how easy was it to talk about it?
