Chapter 2 Close the door of the Taiji Palace
Chen Changfeng's sudden appearance made everyone unexpected.
Yesterday, the emperor informed Chen Changfeng in advance that he must arrive on time in the morning today.
But today's emperor is here, and Chen Changfeng has not arrived.
The emperor sent someone to the East Palace, and got the news that Chen Changfeng was drunk last night and didn't get up until now.
The emperor's eyes were already on fire at that time.
If it weren't for the locust plague, I am afraid that the emperor would announce the deposition of the crown prince when he was in power.
At this moment, Chen Changfeng's sudden appearance made the emperor's heart even more angry.
He gave birth to six princes, except for the eldest prince who died early, among the remaining five, except for the crown prince Chen Changfeng, all of them are talented.
It's just her own queen who gave birth to a bastard like Chen Changfeng for herself.
If it weren't for the fact that when Empress Xu was dying, the emperor personally promised to take good care of the crown prince.
In addition, Chen Changfeng is the only son of Empress Xu and herself, otherwise the emperor would have driven Chen Changfeng off the horse a long time ago.
"Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense at this time, why can't you solve the problem that civil and military officials can't solve?" The second prince Chen Wen saw Chen Changfeng coming here, and he was a little gloating in his heart.
The emperor was already angry, and Chen Changfeng said such words that he didn't know the height of the sky, which would undoubtedly make the emperor even more angry.
Perhaps, the emperor will directly abolish Chen Changfeng's position as the crown prince.
The third prince, Chen Wu, also stood up at this moment and said: "What the second brother said is right, the sixth brother, you can't do martial arts, what can you do, don't quickly step aside, don't make your father angry." ”
The courtiers also all shook their heads, showing disappointment.
They wouldn't believe that Chen Changfeng in front of them could have any way.
The locust plague is a natural disaster, it is the day to die in the Ming Empire, and even the envoys of Great Chu only said that they would provide money and food for disaster relief.
Solving the locust plague, isn't that a dream?
Chen Changfeng stood in the center of the Taiji Hall, looking at the two people who stood up to deny him.
He knew in his heart that among the remaining four princes in the royal family, the second prince Chen Wen and the third prince Chen Wu were the most outstanding.
The second prince, Chen Wen, is known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the courtiers are under his command.
The third prince Chen Wu entered the army at the age of eight, and he would charge forward in every battle, and made countless achievements, and the generals in the army respected him one after another.
They denied themselves in front of the emperor, nothing more than wanting the emperor to depose themselves as the crown prince as soon as possible.
After that, the two of them had a chance to take the position.
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire, it is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and everyone is helpless against the locust plague, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire actually threatened to solve it."
"Awesome! Terrible! ”
"There is a figure like the crown prince in the Ming Empire, and he will definitely be able to regain his strength, and maybe he can recover the thirteen cities of Nanjun that he lost before."
"Haha!" When the Great Chu envoy heard this, he looked extremely surprised.
Anyone could tell that his words were full of ridicule.
The ensuing laughter made Emperor Daming's face gloomy like water.
Being so sneered at by the envoys of Great Chu, the emperor couldn't say a word at the moment.
He also didn't believe that the locust plague that everyone had no way to solve, his bastard son could solve it.
Chen Changfeng turned to look at the laughing Da Chu envoy behind him, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he said loudly: "It's just a locust plague, what is it, you Da Chu rat is blind-eyed, and everyone in the world is as ignorant as you Da Chu." ”
"What do you say......"
"Father, there are at least five ways to solve the locust plague!"
"What?"
"Five ways!"
The rebuttal of the Great Chu envoys was drowned out in the surprise of the courtiers.
"Quiet!" The emperor let out a loud shout, and everyone came back to their senses from their astonishment.
The emperor stared at Chen Changfeng, he didn't know if Chen Changfeng really had a way, or if he was ready to make fun of himself.
Five ways!
They can't even think of a way now, Chen Changfeng actually said that he has five ways!
"Prince, what you said is true?" The Ming Emperor seemed to have found a glimmer of light in the darkness.
But this light loomed, and he always felt that Chen Changfeng was not very reliable.
"If the father doesn't believe it, the sons can test the emperor on the spot one by one, and if there is one that can't destroy the locusts, the sons are willing to fall to the ground." Chen Changfeng said to Emperor Daming.
The second prince and the third prince opened their mouths, and they originally wanted to squeeze Chen Changfeng, the crown prince, again.
Well, now that they don't need to make a move, Chen Changfeng himself will go to his death.
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so confident, then the foreign minister will congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of Daming in advance, and he can select a new candidate for the East Palace." The envoys of Great Chu were still very angry when they heard Chen Changfeng say that he was a big Chu rat.
But at this moment, hearing Chen Changfeng's assurance, he laughed again,
Five methods, test on the spot, if one method does not work, he is willing to fall to the ground.
It's not proper to kill yourself.
I didn't expect to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty this time, and before I said anything, I first witnessed the death of the crown prince of the Ming Empire.
It was a bonus.
The emperor waved his hand, and he promised to let Chen Changfeng try.
If Chen Changfeng really has a way, even if there is only one way to succeed, the emperor will keep Chen Changfeng.
If there is no way, Chen Changfeng is talking nonsense in front of so many people today, then his position as the crown prince will end here.
"Forbidden army, close the door of the Taiji Palace, extinguish all the fire and candles in the hall, and release all the locusts caught in the main hall." Chen Changfeng shouted with the forbidden troops around the Taiji Palace.
"What are you doing when you close the door?"
"And you want to put out all the candles?"
"What is the prince doing here?"
"What kind of place is the Taiji Palace, how can you close the door of the palace?"
Chen Changfeng's words puzzled everyone.
Secretly thinking that Chen Changfeng didn't want to solve the locust plague? Why are you still doing all this weird stuff.
"Father, the sixth brother can't ...... this request?"
"Do as the prince says." Before the second prince's words were finished, he listened to the emperor's consent.
The second prince's eyes were slightly downcast, he had always coveted Chen Changfeng's position as the crown prince.
Today, the emperor and his ministers discussed the matter of solving the locust plague in the Taiji Palace, and Chen Changfeng had already been informed yesterday that Chen Changfeng, the prince, dared to be late today.
The second prince was thinking in his heart that he would let his subordinates ruthlessly refer to Chen Changfeng in a few copies.
The problem of the locust plague cannot be solved, the Ming Empire is in danger, and Chen Changfeng, the waste prince, is late and does not do his job, and the emperor will definitely depose Chen Changfeng as the crown prince in a fit of rage.
Although the national crisis is at the head, it is a bit unorthodox to do it yourself.
But there is no way to solve the locust plague.
It is better to take this opportunity to let the emperor abolish Chen Changfeng, the crown prince.
It's just that what his second prince didn't expect was that the emperor really planned to let Chen Changfeng give it a try.
Although he was surprised, the second prince was not worried.
Now the emperor is obviously a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
As for Chen Changfeng, the crown prince, if he can have such ability, will the position of the crown prince still be in jeopardy?
Later, Chen Changfeng couldn't think of a way, and he didn't have to let people do it himself, and the emperor himself would depose him as the crown prince.
The door of the Taiji Hall was slammed shut, and the hall fell into darkness in an instant.
The flickering candles were also extinguished.
The crowd could only see their palms in the faint light.
"Buzz—" The sound of locusts flapping their wings was heard in their ears, and many people were even hit in the face by the scurrying locusts.
"Prince, what the hell do you do, this locust has hit the minister's face."
"I have locusts in my neck."
"Why is this thing still biting me?"
Officials spoke one after another, and many were bitten by locusts.
I was even more dissatisfied with Chen Changfeng in my heart.
Thinking that if Chen Changfeng had no way to solve the problem of locusts, why would he have to join this prince.
After waiting for about half an hour, the emperor was hit by locusts several times, and was about to open his mouth to ask Chen Changfeng what he was going to do next, when Chen Changfeng suddenly spoke.
"Light a brazier in the center of the hall."
The forbidden army obeyed, and a brazier the size of a cylinder mouth was carried to the center of the main hall, and then the flames were ignited, and the darkness of the hall was particularly dazzling.
