506 Deposed Prince
Cui'e was triumphant, but she didn't know that her death was near. *79&
And Mrs. Xiong still has a hypocritical face, and she is very tolerant of Cui'e, in fact, she has prepared several poisonous 'medicines' in 'private', just waiting to pick out the most suspicious 'medicine' to kill this favorite concubine.
However, Mrs. Xiong also knew that if this was simply the case, even if she killed Cui'e, there would be Cuixiang and Cui's 'jade', and even if she wanted to, there was no way to stop it.
This matter cannot be ended as in the past, just by giving 'medicine'.
No matter what, you have to make Lord Xiong have scruples.
Thinking of this, Madame Xiong secretly planned.
And the situation in the court is also much clearer, the prime minister has become the end of the crossbow because of the victimization of the four princes, and the saint will no longer let this old minister bother with the court, as for the second son of Cao, he also consciously resigned on the grounds of filial piety.
Seeing that the Cao family, who was the only one in Kyoto, had fallen, everyone also understood that the Holy Lord was going to be cleaned up, and everyone was immediately in danger, for fear of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing.
Chen Ge Lao Suo's 'sex' also resigned and returned to his hometown to retire.
The people who followed the trend and wanted to resign handed over the posts one after another, and the saint did not stop them, and agreed one by one.
When people go out of the city on the front foot, there will be new officials on the back foot.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the saint has already made arrangements, otherwise where would he go to find so many talents?
Judging from this movement, it is obvious that the Holy Lord has been planning for a long time, but he is just waiting for the right opportunity.
In the midst of this coup d'Γ©tat', the four princes took the blame for themselves and caused a big disaster, but in the end, he was a prince, and his life was inevitable. Under the intercession of the fifth prince Mu Mengchen, the fourth prince was charged with exile.
Although he was inevitably suffering, he also saved his life.
However, the fourth prince was still unhappy in his heart, he planned in every possible way, but in the end, he still cheapened Mu Mengchen, a fool.
Could it be that he is not as good as this confused fifth brother in his father's heart?
With reluctance, the four princes left Kyoto.
Seeing that the situation was stabilized, the prince, who had been missing for a long time, also 'revealed' his face.
The first thing he did when he 'appeared' was that he was going to fight with the four princes, and the reason was that the man killed his favorite concubine.
By this time, the prince had not yet realized that his position had become someone else's pocket.
Mu Mengchen, who has always been gentle, stopped his behavior, and persuaded him with good words, not at all like he was ignorant on weekdays.
The prince, who was 'blinded' by hatred, didn't take this fifth brother in his eyes at all, and only thought that he would clean up the fourth brother when he succeeded to the throne in the future, and then he would have to let him live rather than die!
From beginning to end, the prince didn't think of his wife, and all he thought about was that Yuehua.
And the former crown princess also invited herself to lead the practice after the storm subsided, so that she not only had the royal face, but also avoided the prince's entanglement. But what she didn't expect was that the prince didn't think about her at this time.
Thinking of the suffering she has suffered over the years, she was resentful in her heart, and she used a little caution to spread some movements, so that people outside would remember her as the former crown princess.
And when the prince heard her lead the practice, he only snorted lightly: "Since she is willing to practice, then she will die alone, what can she have to do with me?" β
These words quickly reached the ears of the saint, and he no longer hesitated, but he no longer hesitated, and the next morning he asked people to depose the prince.
As soon as the news of the abolition of the crown prince came out, the whole dynasty was shocked, and some conservative ministers hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you must not, since ancient times, the queen has nothing to do except the prince, if the saint deposes the prince, won't there be no successor?" β
Regarding this question, the person on the dragon chair just said lightly: "The people in the world are not born but virtuous, and such old rules should be changed." β
In a word, all questioning words are overturned.
But these people are even more 'confused' and 'confused' in their hearts, although the prince behaves perversely, he can still show the royal demeanor, the rest of the princes are young, and the remaining five princes are a fool......
This matter cannot be finalized, and the emperor is not in a hurry to let these old antiques accept it at one time, so he will retreat from the court first and let them discuss it in private.
After the court, the emperor sent Xu Gonggong to call Huo Tainan to the imperial study.
Playing with a piece of beautiful 'jade', the emperor seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"Minister Huo Tainan, I have seen Your Majesty." Huo Tainan was dressed in soft armor, with a strong body and a lofty instrument.
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Huo Aiqing, what do you suggest about the crown prince?" β
"Wechen has no suggestions." Huo Tainan said.
If you don't suggest it, you support the abolition of the crown prince, which is the same as what the emperor thinks, there are still people who understand in this court.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Huo Tainan said: "Now that the princes are still young, the holy dragon is in good health, and the prince doesn't need to be in a hurry." β
After listening to Huo Tainan's suggestion, the emperor opened his mouth: "How many times has the widow given him, if it weren't for the love of father and son, where would he have been kept to this day?" β
This sounds like a complaint, but Huo Tainan knows that the saint needs a justifiable reason to abolish the crown prince.
Thinking about it, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an upright person, declares righteousness, and the saint should also care about friendship. After a pause, he arched his hand and said, "Weichen has the courage to say, whether the prince is innocent or not is still unknown. β
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he put down the 'jade' pendant in his hand.
Under his scrutiny, Huo Tainan's face did not change his 'color', as if he had stood as a stone statue.
After a long time, the emperor picked up the 'jade' pendant again: "Hey, I never thought that for the sake of the throne, they would kill each other." β
In this way, he agrees with Huo Tainan's proposal.
The matter was resolved, and the emperor said: "I still have to work hard for you these days, and you don't have to worry about it." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huo Tainan saluted and said goodbye.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." Gonggong Xu whispered.
"Let's just say I'm tired, I don't see." The emperor waved his hand.
Father-in-law Xu expected this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "The slave has already persuaded the mother, but the mother is ...... She said that if she was not allowed to come in, she would kneel in front of the 'door......"
"The dignified queen, why is she so incomprehensible!" The emperor looked impatient, "The prince learned her 'sex' to become what he is today." β
Gonggong Xu laughed and didn't dare to comment.
Glancing at Gonggong Xu lightly, the emperor said: "This little thing can't be done, and you, the chief manager, have been in vain for so many years?" β
Father-in-law Xu's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave is guilty, and the slave will ask the queen to go back to the palace to rest." "Go ahead." The emperor's tone was 'wavering'. Gonggong Xu pinched a cold sweat and went to do things by himself.
