Chapter 267: Handing over the command of the Black Guard
"Have you heard, something big happened in Yizhou!"
"I heard that eighty percent of the officials in Yizhou were slaughtered by the prince, saying that all these people have corrupt ......"
"What kind of corruption, I heard that Yizhou officials wanted to force the army to marry Liu Shuwen's daughter, and they also threatened with the tomb of Mrs. Liu Shuwen."
"The prince has a good relationship with the military advisor Liu Shuwen, and he received a request for help from his daughter, so he went to Yizhou and killed all those bastard officials."
"I thought they were corrupt."
"The military advisor has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty, how can his daughter be treated like this."
"It's not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a hero who maintains the Ming Dynasty, and it is a great achievement."
In the early morning of the second day, the people of Daming Capital were already discussing the affairs of Yizhou.
They even knew about Liu Miaomiao.
In the Ming Dynasty Hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and in front of him were hundreds of civil and military officials standing on both sides of the main hall.
Today's officials all have ugly expressions on their faces.
They had never heard of a prince who would do such a ridiculous thing.
Hundreds of local officials in Yizhou were slaughtered by the crown prince Chen Changfeng.
They didn't believe that it was because Liu Shuwen's daughter Liu Miaomiao asked Chen Changfeng for help, which led to such a thing.
How could eighty percent of Yizhou officials have anything to do with Liu Miaomiao's matter?
Chen Changfeng killed so many Yizhou officials, making it clear that he was weakening the strength of the second prince.
Who doesn't know that Yizhou is the fief of the second prince, and most of the officials in Yizhou are the people of the second prince.
Now that eighty percent of the officials in Yizhou have been killed, the news has reached the ears of hundreds of officials in the court, who is not worried?
Chen Changfeng: That's really killing!
All the officials who had a relationship with the second prince were killed, so what about the officials who supported the second prince in the court?
If Chen Changfeng had the chance, would he have killed them as well?
Thinking of this, the hearts of all the officials were half cold.
The political views are different, the party is different, but in the end, there is a bottom line, Chen Changfeng's hand directly killed them!
Chen Changfeng didn't come to the court today, otherwise these officials wouldn't even dare to see Chen Changfeng.
The second prince stood by the imperial stairs in a daze, and the whole person had no energy.
How can there be spirit, Yizhou's business was ruined by Chen Changfeng's move, and it is still a matter whether the second prince can gain a firm foothold in the court in the future.
The third prince is also standing in the court at this moment, and Huo Dizhi did not clean him up yesterday.
The third prince also knew that it was not Chen Changfeng or Huo Dizhi who planned to let him go, but his own identity was special.
Huo Di's illness is really going to kill himself, and the emperor will definitely not give up, even Chen Changfeng can't escape the blame.
The silence of the entire Taiji Hall was a little terrifying.
The emperor's eyes swept over the hundred officials in front of him, and he heard Chen Changfeng say yesterday that he had killed eighty percent of the Yizhou officials, and he was also irritable.
But the people have already been killed, what can he do?
You can't let Chen Changfeng accompany those officials to the funeral.
But for Chen Changfeng's punishment, it must be needed, otherwise how would the hundred officials be convinced.
It's just that the emperor can't take this punishment for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must have heard about the matter in Yizhou, Liu Shuwen's daughter was in danger in Yizhou, and the prince took someone to rescue him, but the movement was too big, implicating eighty percent of the officials in Yizhou, and I was very sad."
"I am determined to show mercy to all the officials, what do you think of the prince's move?" The emperor spoke, finally breaking the frozen atmosphere of the Taiji Palace.
"Father, the sixth brother, as the crown prince, actually dealt with Yizhou eighty percent and hundreds of officials, causing the people of Yizhou to complain, and the sons asked their father to punish them severely." The second prince immediately knelt on the ground.
He was going to hate Chen Changfeng to death.
Fortunately, the emperor was reasonable and wanted to punish Chen Changfeng, otherwise his second prince would have no place to cry.
The emperor glanced at the second prince and sighed in his heart.
Compared with Chen Changfeng's methods, the second prince is really far inferior, and Chen Changfeng's ruthlessness alone is beyond the reach of the second prince.
Kill hundreds of officials, even he, the emperor, would not dare to do such a thing.
"Father, how can the matter of Liu Shuwen's daughter implicate eighty percent of Yizhou officials?"
"The sixth brother's actions are clearly an excuse to vent his personal anger, if the father does not punish him severely, it is difficult to guarantee that the sixth brother will not commit murder again in the future."
"Maybe next time, the sixth brother will not do it with Yizhou officials, but with this full house of civil and military officials." The third prince followed.
A few words made the court officials instantly have a strong sense of crisis.
If Chen Changfeng kills them in the future, what will they do?
For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.
"Your Majesty, please severely punish His Royal Highness the Prince, slaughter hundreds of innocent officials, Yu Virtue is wrong, please depose the Prince." An official stepped forward, his face terrified.
"The minister seconded the proposal, the prince is so violent, how can our courtiers do things for the Ming Empire with peace of mind in the future?"
"The minister also seconded the proposal and asked His Majesty to depose the crown prince."
"Your Majesty, please depose the crown prince!"
For a time, more than half of the officials in the court spoke one after another, asking the emperor to depose Chen Changfeng as the crown prince.
Yao Xiaoren didn't speak, before coming here, he told Chen Changfeng about the difficulties he might encounter.
For example, the hundred officials asked the emperor to depose Chen Changfeng as the crown prince.
But Chen Changfeng was full of confidence and let Yao Xiaoren rest assured that he would go to the court.
This made Yao Xiaoren very puzzled.
Even if the emperor had made any agreement with Chen Changfeng before, in the face of the common petition of hundreds of officials, the emperor could not completely ignore it.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is still young, and there is no one around to teach him, so it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes."
"People are not sages, who can do nothing, the prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the stability of the Ming Society, how can he be abolished?"
"Besides, what kind of monstrous contributions did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make for my Ming Dynasty before?"
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to turn the tide, would the princes still be able to stand here safely?" Tang Mingren stood up and said slowly to the hundred officials.
But where would the hundred officials pay attention to what Tang Mingren said.
They also knew that it was unlikely that they would depose Chen Changfeng as the crown prince, but if they didn't have an attitude, the emperor might be able to settle things.
Even the emperor did not investigate the matter of Huo Dibing leading the army to attack the stronghold of Luowang.
In the face of Chen Changfeng, what is impossible for the emperor to do?
"Your Majesty, merit is merit, and merit is faulty, and if you have merit, you can kill people, won't the world be in chaos?"
"Your Majesty, the military advisor Liu Shuwen has also made great contributions, could it be that he can also kill courtiers at will in the future?"
"If Your Majesty acquiesces to this move, please play Your Majesty and return to your hometown."
"The ministers also want to consider this!"
The hundred officials didn't give the emperor a chance to speak at all, and they had to force the emperor to punish Chen Changfeng.
The emperor's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he swept over the officials in front of him, and then waved his hand and said: "I will definitely punish the prince, but the matter of deposing the prince is very important. ”
"Spread my will, the prince is unruly, blind and arrogant, and he is not punished enough to serve the public, so he handed over the command of the black armor guard and was confined for three months."
"Your Majesty......" Yao Xiaoren's face changed greatly, and Chen Changfeng only had one hole card in his hand.
And now it's been taken back by the emperor?
What will Chen Changfeng do in the future?
"Yao Xiang, seven days later, it will be my first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, and this matter will be left to you to handle, I hope that you can handle it well." The emperor looked at Yao Xiaoren, as if he was vigilant.
