In Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao was lying on the table on the kang, writing and painting.

At this time, Tongxi walked in with freshly made snacks and milk tea.

"Your Highness, you can drink milk tea and eat some snacks to rest."

Zhao Yao saw that there was snow on Tongxi's hat and shoulders, and personally poured him a cup of milk tea and asked him to drink a few sips to warm up.

After Tongxi drank the milk tea, he couldn't wait to gossip with Zhao Yao.

"Your Royal Highness, just in the early dynasty, many people proposed to reinstate the abolished prince." Tongxi has always been very good at inquiring about news, "King Dai, King Chu, King Wei, and His Royal Highness King Jing also said so." ”

Zhao Yao listened, his eyelids did not lift, and he said very calmly: "What is expected." He had long guessed that there would be such a play.

"Ah, aren't you surprised, Your Highness?" Tongxi took a step forward, his expression was very excited, "His Royal Highness King Wei proposed to reinstate the abolished prince, and the slaves and maids can understand, but the acting king and King Jing also want to reinstate the abolished prince, don't they want to be the prince themselves, why did they suddenly propose to reinstate the abolished prince, are their brains broken?" ”

Zhao Yao raised his hand and wiped the spit that Tongxi had sprayed on his face just now, and said with great disgust: "What are you excited about?" ”

"Your Highness, don't you think it's strange?" Tongxi didn't understand why Zhao Yao was so calm. "Everyone proposes to reinstate the abolished prince!"

"What's so strange about that?" Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi, who was fussing, and said angrily, "Do you think they really want to reinstate the abolished prince." ”

Tongxi's face was full of confusion: "Huh? Isn't it? Then why did they propose to reinstate the abolished prince? ”

"Naturally, it is to test my father and see if my father really wants to reinstate the abolished prince."

"I see." Tongxi didn't seem to understand, "Your Highness, do you think the emperor will reinstate the abolished prince?" ”

"No, my father will never reinstate the abolished prince." Zhao Yao continued, "They proposed to reinstate the abolished prince for another purpose. ”

Tongxi hurriedly asked, "What purpose?" ”

"Urge my father to make the prince as soon as possible." Since the eldest brother was deposed, there has been no stop about the new crown prince. As soon as the father does not appoint a new prince, the ministers will be restless for a day.

"Your Highness, who do you think the emperor will appoint as the crown prince?" Tongxi was very curious.

"What do you say?" Isn't the answer obvious?

"The slave thinks it's His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but you said before that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has His Royal Highness the Acting King above, and His Royal Highness King Jing who is his son-in-law below, and it is not so easy for the emperor to canonize His Royal Highness the King of Chu as the crown prince."

"That's why my father has not set up a new prince for a long time." The father knew that it was not easy to canonize the fourth brother as the crown prince, so he adopted the strategy of "dragging".

"Then can His Royal Highness the King of Chu still be the crown prince?"

"Not now, but definitely in the future." Zhao Yao still has a lot of trust in the ability of the King of Chu.

"That's great." As long as His Royal Highness the King of Chu can be the crown prince.

Zhao Yao's face suddenly became heavy. He sighed slightly and said: "If my father doesn't appoint a new prince, the ministers will always hold on to this matter, and they will only care about the establishment of the prince every day, and they won't pay so much attention to other things, which is not a good thing." ”

Tongxi didn't understand Zhao Yao's words, but in his heart, the emperor is omnipotent.

"Your Highness, the emperor must have something in mind, so don't worry."

Thinking of the emperor's unreliable temperament, Zhao Yao snorted and said, "I hope he really knows it." He always felt that his father was playing with fire.

Not only Zhao Yao thinks so, but He Xiang and Taishi Liu also think so. They told the emperor not to go overboard, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The emperor reassured them, saying that he had a sense of proportion.

After the early dynasty, the king of Wei sent a letter to the palace of the king of Jin, telling the king of Jin what happened in the morning of the dynasty.

When King Jin saw King Wei's letter, he sighed helplessly: "Alas. ”

Lu Cong heard King Jin's heavy sigh and asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"In the early court today, the eighth brother proposed to his father that he reinstate me."

"Your Highness, isn't that a good thing?" Lu Cong was happy in his heart, but he could see that King Jin was not only not happy, but his face was solemn, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

"I don't want to be a prince anymore." The King of Jin knew in his heart that the King of Wei really wanted the emperor to reinstate him, but the others had bad intentions when he proposed to reinstate him. "Besides, I'm not qualified to be the crown prince anymore."

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Wei didn't give up, why did you give up?"

"I've been a prince for more than 20 years, and I'm suspicious and jealous every day, and to be honest, I'm tired for a long time." Since being deposed, King Jin wanted to open, "Life is very peaceful now, and I am very satisfied." ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Lu Cong felt sad for King Jin, "You have been the prince since you were a child......"

King Jin interrupted Lu Cong's words: "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Sharpen the ink for me."

"Yes." When Lu Cong saw that King Jin was going to write a recital, his face was shocked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" ”

"Write a recital to my father." After King Jin finished writing the recital, he handed it to Lu Cong, "Send it to the palace." ”

"Your Highness, what do you want?" Lu Cong had a not-so-good premonition in his heart.

"Never miss the eighth brother."

Lu Congming, the meaning of King Bai Jin, was shocked and said, "Your Highness! ”

King Jin said with a cold face: "Hurry up and send it to the palace." ”

Lu Cong didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to delay any longer, so he immediately went to the palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor was a little surprised after reading King Jin's recital.

"Sun Kui."

"The slave is here."

"Go and call King Jin."

King Jin?

Sun Kui was shocked in his heart, and immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Emperor." ”

After a while, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Sun Kui personally went to the Jin King's Mansion to pick up the Jin King into the palace, and they became uneasy one by one.

Many people speculate whether the emperor really wants to reinstate the abolished prince, after all, he proposed the reinstatement of the abolished prince in the early dynasty.

When the acting king heard about this, he wanted to enter the palace with a gloomy face to stop it, but fortunately he was stopped by Xuanping Hou.

The Marquis of Xuanping asked the acting king to be calm for a while.

At this time, the king of Jin had already entered the imperial study and met the emperor.

The emperor first looked at the king of Xia Jin, and saw that he was a little thinner, but his eyebrows were very calm, without the previous anxiety and injustice, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

"Want to understand?"

"Father, the son has figured it out."

Seeing the determination in King Jin's eyes, the emperor raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

"Earlier this day, the ministers proposed to me to reinstate you, why, you don't want to be the crown prince anymore?"

"Father, son-in-law is not the material for the prince." King Jin thought of the previous events, and a bitter smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "Erchen is not suitable to be a prince, let alone a prince." ”

"Do you really think so?"

"In the past, Erchen didn't think so, but now Erchen really doesn't want to be the prince anymore."

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, was very surprised when he heard King Jin's words, and he couldn't believe that King Jin would say this.

King Jin can't be acting, right?

Sun Kui deliberately quietly observed King Jin's expression, and saw that King Jin's expression was serious, and it didn't look like he was acting, he exclaimed in his heart: My good man, I haven't seen His Royal Highness King Jin for a while, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Jing's acting skills to become so good!

His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't seem to be watching a play at home, why did he suddenly become so good at acting?

"Father, the son has done too many wrong things before, and he is not worthy of being the prince anymore......"

The emperor quietly listened to the confession of the King of Jin. He could hear that King Jin really regretted what he had done before, and he really didn't want to be the crown prince anymore.

In the imperial study, the emperor and the king of Jin chatted calmly. The ministers outside the palace were anxious.

The acting king and they kept sending people to keep an eye on the palace, and when they saw that the king of Jin had not come out of the imperial study for a long time, they became more and more anxious in their hearts.

Before noon, King Jin finally came out of the imperial study.

Knowing that the King of Jin was out of the palace, the ministers inquired about what the emperor told him.

Just when the acting king was anxious to go to the palace to inquire about the news, the emperor issued a holy decree to let the king of Jin take his family to the royal palace.

Knowing that the King of Jin was going to be placed under house arrest in the royal palace, the acting king and the ministers of the court could finally rest assured.

The emperor ordered the King of Jin to be placed under house arrest in the Imperial Palace, which meant that the King of Jin was completely out of the game and could never be reinstated. This is great news for the kings.
