Chapter 34: The Abolition of the Prince

"Ah Cheng! I'm going to win, don't you see? I'm going to win! He watched in disbelief as he knelt on his knees and begged him over and over again to stop, grabbing his collar so that he could see clearly who was in charge of the world now?! Obviously his victory is ahead, what is this kid crazy about?

"Ah Cheng, that's it, let him go." As he spoke, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and then said, "Let's do it." ”

Ah Cheng stumbled even harder, but this time he was facing the emperor, and he said over and over again, "The prince is just a ghost for a while, and he asks the emperor for forgiveness." ”

"What?" The crown prince was still very puzzled, wasn't this situation already under his control? Why still ask for the emperor? In the next second, the group of soldiers and the secret guards fought with each other, and the five hundred well-trained Praetorian Guards faced the fifty secret guards cultivated by the prince himself, and the result could be imagined. In a short time, the Temple of Heaven was already a river of blood, and the scarlet blood flowed in all directions, and those ministers avoided it. They all huddled in the corner like lambs, shivering.

"How so?!" The prince was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and then he stood up unwillingly, "There is a troop transfer talisman in this palace, who dares to disobey!" As he spoke, he held up a bronze talisman and shot an arrow at him, placing the talisman in his hand on the ground.

"I, some are tiger talismans!" As he spoke, he held up the tiger talisman and said.

"Impossible, how could you come to the Temple of Heaven with a tiger talisman?!" The emperor has always put the tiger talisman in the organ, he has already sent someone to steal it, why is it still in the hands of his father at this time?

He took out the tiger talisman in his arms, which looked no different from the one in his father's hand, except that there was no gap in the tiger's tail. This is...... Fake ?!! He trusted Ah Cheng too much, so he didn't check it carefully at all.

"Ah Cheng?" He turned his head slowly, looking at the man who was already covered in blood in disbelief, his eyes were red, tears were dripping instantly, and his muscles were bursting up, "You betrayed me?" ”

Ah Cheng knelt down, buried his head very low, almost down to the dust, and didn't dare to look up at him.

"Don't embarrass him, I arranged for him to go to the study to accompany you to study, and he has always been my person." Before the age of nine, he received a patriotic education of loyalty, and loyalty was always to him, the king of a country.

"We grew up together, and I have always treated you as my most loyal subordinate." The prince shook his head, and in an instant, his inner worldview collapsed, he was left out in the cold, and the person who spent time with him when the palace people were in flames actually stabbed him in the back, since the death of his mother, he was left with only such a person who could be trusted, the prince was completely crazy, and he drew his sword and was about to kill Ah Cheng, and he just knelt quietly on the ground, silent, as if he was ready to die, these days have been tormented for too long in the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness.

The sword blade was just about to be inserted into Ah Cheng, and the prince's eyes went black and he fainted.

The emperor shook his head and sighed, "Spread my word, the prince lost his honor in front of the gods, causing the dissatisfaction of the ancestors, and from now on, the crown prince Lin Xunzhi will be degraded to the king of Ming, and he will be imprisoned in the Xishan Palace forever, and he will not be issued unless he is edicted!" Some of the officials below were shocked, but some had already come to their senses, this punishment was too light, and they were just about to open their mouths to admonish, but they were gagged by the emperor's majestic eyes, and they could only say loudly, "Obey." ”

Seeing this, the civil and military officials below also followed suit, they did not dare to come out, and they knew what the result was. Today's incident The emperor has already shown that the crown prince is a disgrace, who dares to go out and talk nonsense, then don't want to live, they are all old foxes who have been in the court officialdom for decades, who can not understand this.

"Surrender to Cheng Cheng to guard the crown prince." Ah Cheng was always very guilty, so the emperor also acquiesced, and did not say anything, but then returned to the palace after hastily completing the ritual of sacrificing to the sky. The man poured rain, and King Rui knelt in front of the palace of nourishing his heart, although his guards held an umbrella for him, his clothes were still soaked, but he said word by word, "The son is willing to go to the fief on the same day, and beg his father and the emperor to calm his anger and take the imperial brother back." ”

Sudden wind and rain, it rained for three hours, he also knelt for three hours, and finally fainted, after returning to the dormitory, he launched a high fever, several imperial doctors around the bed in a hurry, is the medicine also poured, the needle was also pricked, three days later slowly subsided the fever, who knew that once the fever subsided and had to go to the heart palace to intercede, was beaten back by the emperor and imprisoned in the dormitory.

"Why did you get to this point?" Huai Xu took the medicinal soup and fed it to him one bite at a time and asked, "The prince's resignation is already a sure thing." He looked around, and there were no outsiders around, so he could speak with confidence.

"King Rui is good friends with the prince on weekdays, King Rui is sincere, simple and unreasonable, and King Rui has no intention of fighting." Zhaojing said very calmly, "These are the only things that require me to do this. The crown prince has reached this point, and the emperor will not change his mind again, if it can reflect my good at this time, it will be worth it to do anything. ”

"It's just that your body ......" Huai Xu looked at him worriedly, his face was pale, there was no blood, he was already weak and cold, and this time it was raining, I am afraid that he will fall into the root of the disease in the future.

"It's okay, it's all for our big business." His eyes looked firmly into the distance, the wind and rain had finally passed today, and a few rays of sunlight poured down, piercing through the dark clouds to reach the end.

"Huaixu, everything has just begun now, and there will be dramas to be performed in the future." He muttered.

——————————————

Yan Shi: How is this scene today?

Liang Jian: There are big ups and downs, and the little heart is a little unbearable.

Yan Shi: It's a thrill to play.

Emperor: What should I do if my son doesn't understand his father's intentions? Wait online, hurry!

Prince: The prince of a country, the enemy on his back and betrayal, whether it is the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality, v I am fifty, listen to my revenge plan!

————————————

This battle was fought very beautifully, Liang Jian wanted to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate, the prince fell smoothly, and the Xie family would collapse with it. It's not in vain that they have been planning for so long, and the prince finally killed himself. In the past few months, Wu Daozong has been secretly instigating the relationship between the prince and the Xie family. Not only that, but they also planted people in the palace to make the prince think that the emperor no longer favored him.

That secret letter was just the last snowflake, crushing all the defenses in the prince's heart. Once the seeds of doubt are planted in the prince's heart, all the wind and grass will deepen his suspicions. There was no need for further push at all, he himself was able to push himself into the abyss.

The emperor has issued an edict, the prince does not cultivate his private virtues, and now he has been stripped of the prince's position, demoted to King Huan and imprisoned on the West Mountain, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing unless he is edicted. And the Xie family, Xie Haizhi instigated the prince, corruption was sentenced to death, and the rest of the Xie family was exiled to Lingnan.

The emperor in the main hall frowned, after the fall of the Xie family, the imperial court urgently needs to arrange the next deputy alliance leader in the martial arts, and must select the people before the families make any moves, and then unite the families to completely encircle and suppress the remnants of the Wudao Sect, and there is still a month before the martial arts conference, and the time is pressing.

Looking at the invitation to return to the fiefdom presented by King Rui, he fell into deep thought, picked it up and looked at it for a long time, and finally decided.

——————————————

"Father, the son is dull, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed." Zhao Jing knelt in front of the bookcase and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Erchen just wants to go back to the fiefdom. ”

"Jing'er, I'll talk about the matter of the fiefdom later, the matter in front of me in the rivers and lakes is a headache for my father, don't you want to share your father's worries?" The emperor said softly, thinking in his heart, this stupid child, the major families are also a piece of fat, if you can accept it, it will be harmful. This unlucky boy can't even see this clearly, and he is really stupid.

"Erchen...... It's not that Erchen is unwilling, but he's just afraid of messing things up. The more he spoke, the quieter he became, looking at the floor and muttering, "Erchen won't know anything." ”

"It's okay, I'll naturally send someone to help you, you just say whether you want to go or not." The emperor looked at King Rui with a smile, this kid is just not confident, he is not capable of training, he really can't do it, and he, a civil and military official, is not a dry eater. is mainly the identity of King Rui, and the group of people in Wulin are no longer convinced, and they can only be muffled in front of the court.

"If the minister is done, will my father allow me to return to the fief?" He asked with some delight, his eyes sparkling, and he was completely innocent and innocent.

"See how you perform." The emperor looked at those eyes with a little softness, but he still couldn't deny it, he didn't say it was good, and he didn't say it bad.

"Okay, the minister will take the order!" King Rui happily took the decree and went back to pack his things.

The emperor behind the bookcase sighed and said in a low voice, "How, is it okay for King Rui?" ”

Behind the curtain came an elegant and steady gentleman, dressed in a black and white robe with a handful of goatees, this is Qin Tianjian Lan Yue. He stroked his beard, nodded and said, "I calculated that there seems to be a change in the Luminous Star, and King Rui may be the one who broke the game." ”

"Are you sure?" The emperor was overjoyed, the prophecy of the country that had been passed down from the previous Qin Tianjian had finally found a way to crack it, and he could also avoid the fate of the country in his hands, and the prince's affairs might have a turning point, and besides, this King Rui was stupid and stupid, and he was easy to handle.

"That's true, King Rui's eyes are like phoenixes, his lips are like Danzhu, and his momentum is like a Hong, I see dragon qi in him." Lan Yue nodded and said conclusively.

"Good, good." The Emperor looked at the direction he was leaving, picked up the letter on the table and tore it to shreds, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

————————————

"I heard that the imperial court recently sent another person down, supposedly to replace the Xie family?"

The three major families gathered together, and a few days ago, they were still fighting for that family to be the deputy alliance leader, especially the people of the Huangfu and Beichen families, who blatantly joined forces to squeeze out the Song family, if it weren't for the Song family, it could be regarded as a big tree with deep roots, and Song Bingzhu mediated it, it is estimated that they would have been eaten alive a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, several of them fought back and forth, and in the end, the court took advantage of the loophole. What else can be done, they don't dare to have objections, who dares to go against the court.

"It's King Rui." Huangfu said lazily, like a down-lit, random dead fish.

"Rui Wang? I've never heard of King Rui before! Beichenqu scratched his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember that there was such a person in the court.

"It's normal for you not to know, isn't it Beichenlin who is in charge of your family now?" Huangfu Shi looked at this somewhat brainless Beichen Qu and had a headache, Beichen Lin borrowed his daughter to marry General Fuguang and now he is quite a bit of a transgression, but this fool didn't see it, and thought that brothers, friends, brothers, and families were harmonious. When will you be able to grow a snack eye?! Beichen's family relied on her wife's backs for advice, and after suddenly falling ill in the past few days, Beichenlin took the opportunity to take the position.

"I... I... I said, why don't you talk for a long time, that kid from the Song family? Beichenqu was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time when he saw Huangfu, so he could only turn his head to look at Song Bingzhu.

I saw him with a cold face, sitting on the side expressionlessly, turning his head to look at them and laughing, "Don't mind, you say, where is there a place for our Song family to talk?" ”

Beichen and Huangfu knew that they had gone too far in the past few days, and their faces were too stiff, Huangfu waded into the round and said, "There were many offenses before, we will come to the door to apologize another day, but the most important thing now is not to discuss the next thing?" If it is really controlled by the people of the imperial court, then everyone will not have a good life, right? Virtuous nephew, now is the time to put aside prejudices and unite with the outside world! ”

Although Song Bingzhu was already a little dissatisfied, he seemed to be slightly moved, so he spoke, "It's a sure thing for the imperial court to send someone down, who can stop this?" ”

"No, no, no, I've heard for a long time that King Narui has been abandoned in the palace since he was a child, or some time ago, the emperor didn't know how to remember that there was such a son before he was brought back," the emperor said unhurriedly.

"Raised in the free-range? has no power, no power, no background, it's easy to deal with, as long as you coax him when the time comes, it's good to have a false name. Beichen Qu said without thinking, how big did he think?!

"I suddenly feel that it is also an extremely wise choice for Beichenlin to be in charge." The emperor said a little speechlessly. There are more than 800 people in the Beichen family, why is he so chicken, he is very tired when he talks angrily.

"Now there is only one King Rui left among the princes, if nothing else, he will be the future crown prince, this emperor sent him here most likely to experience it, where will he be at the mercy of us." Song Bingzhu also glanced at him, peeled a grape and put it in his mouth, then ate it and said, "Coax him to bear a false name? Is it a good excuse to give the emperor a raid? ”

It sounds harsh, but it also gets to the point. The children of the Song family's generation are really good, and they still have a little eyesight, at least better than Beichen Qu. Huang Fu Shi wondered how the Song family could not be reduced to letting a child be in charge of the house, but now it makes sense.

"Is that going to sit still?" Beichen Qu was a little embarrassed by a junior, so he said angrily, "It's hard for the Xie family to fall, and now it's still being managed, and the affairs of our rivers and lakes let the court interfere, it's too shameless!" ”

"I think it's a good opportunity." Song Bingzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him, just sat quietly and thought about something, and then muttered thoughtfully, "The left and right imperial courts have to put people in, it is better to choose the position of deputy alliance leader before the holy decree comes down, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to say anything at that time." ”

"Correct." Huangfu smiled comfortably, it was easier to talk to smart people, and finally got to the point, and called them over today just for such a thing.

"The court will be so easy to fool?" Beichen Qu snorted disdainfully, and looked at Huangfu Shi very proudly, seeing his serious expression, Beichen Qu reluctantly closed his mouth.

"King Rui's coming is just gossip, we can pretend not to know, even if the emperor wants to blame, he can't get angry out of thin air." Song Bingzhu replied coldly.

"That's right, but we need to hurry up and choose the deputy alliance leader before King Rui comes with the holy decree." Huangfu Shi said and glanced at Song Bingzhu with some appreciation, this kid is still a little smart, no wonder he can be the head of the family at a young age.

"And if we choose for ourselves, who will we choose?" Beichenqu shrugged, and when he saw that Huangfu Shi also said so, he could only answer stupidly.

This issue has been debated since the fall of the Xie family, and the three families all want to arrange their own people to the position of deputy alliance leaders, and even Heng Tianzong and Ji Limen have to come and intervene, and several forces have been fighting back and forth, and there is no conclusion until now, otherwise the court will not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes.

"I think, since no one is convinced, then we can first choose a puppet to take the name of the deputy alliance leader, and then how about our major families make a joint decision?" Huangfu said, the narrow fox's eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness.

"Puppet, who are you helping?" Beichenqu scratched his head, where is there such a suitable candidate, not only to be able to convince the public, but also to be easy to control, but also to be a person who knows the roots, looking at these three families, I am afraid that no one can be competent.

"That's naturally the new kid from your Beichen family." The emperor had already done so, but this time it was either a discussion or a notice, and he picked up a grape and ate it contentedly.

"New boy? Beichen Yuan? Beichen Qu said with a puzzled face, this kid is indeed something, since he just came, his muscles and veins are exhausted, and his martial arts are all wasted, although he has been cured in the past few days, but for some reason he was taken by the lord of Yunrou. But if you want to make him the deputy leader of the alliance, even if a few of them agree, how can the children of the following sects agree? Not to mention that his qualifications are not enough, he is not good at martial arts, he is now a wasted person, why should he be the deputy leader of the alliance?!

"Heh, the selection is ingenious, the boys of the Beichen family are most likely in cahoots with your Huangfu family, what is the matter with our Song family? In that case, you don't have to invite me. "This time it's Song Bingzhu's turn to be angry, and he said to discuss, this is a notice, isn't it just to call him here today?

"I also think something is wrong." Beichen Qu said weakly, although this matter is obviously cheap Beichen's family, but Beichen Yuan is really unworthy, even if he sits on it, it will not be stable.

"Don't worry, two virtuous brothers, listen to what I say, Beichen Yuan is easy to control, and now that we have attached to the Lord of Yunrou, it means that we have the help of Prince Yong, plus General Fuguang, we also have confidence in front of King Narui." Seeing the thoughtful looks of the two, he continued to lure him step by step, "As for whether he is worthy or not, this is not a problem, just find a reason for him, just say that he is the main force in encircling and suppressing Menghui Cliff, and he was robbed of the credit by the Xie family, and now the Xie family has fallen, and there is no proof of death." ”

"You're really thoughtful." Song Bingzhu scoffed.

"Brother Song, don't worry, if Beichen Yuan becomes the deputy alliance leader, I can also turn a blind eye to those things in the Song family, huh?" Although Huang Fushi's tone was very peaceful, his words were full of threats.

Song Bingzhu clenched his fists, and after a moment of silence, he finally took a step back and gritted his back molars and said, "Beichen Yuan...... Maybe it's a good choice. ”

Looking at Beichen Qu and Huangfu She's rather smug looks, his face darkened. A few days ago, Beichenqu inadvertently broke the secret of the Song family, and this meeting was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was coercion.
