Chapter 385; Morning Meeting (I)
On the day of the court meeting, outside the Chengtian Gate, the ministers gathered to wait for the court.
Today's atmosphere is very different from the past, in the past, when the ministers were waiting, the people who were friends would gather in groups to chat about interesting things.
But today, outside the Chengtian Gate, no one chatted, and they all waited silently for the court.
Xu is big guys know that there will be a major event that will shake the entire Yu Dynasty at today's court meeting.
Soon, the king of Qi and the king of Chu also came, and the two got out of the carriage and saw the situation outside the Chengtian Gate, and their hearts were relieved and they were also very excited.
The crown prince is going to be finished, so who will be the next prince?
At present, the only people who are most likely to take over this position are the two of them.
Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other, their eyes were full of strong fighting spirit, it was a matter of life and death, and those brothers, friends and brothers in front of outsiders in the past were all to hell with them.
In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came, but today's Prince looked very haggard, and the whole person looked a little lost.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, the officials of the scholar clan had a faint ridicule, and the people of the faction of King Qi and King Chu were delighted with victory in sight.
And those who originally belonged to the prince's faction, when they saw the prince at this moment, they didn't gather around to talk like before.
Instead, he stood with his head bowed far away with a complicated expression.
Among them, in fact, there are not too many people who really support the prince in their hearts, and more of them are gathered under the prince because of interests.
Seeing that these people who used to follow him to flatter him actually hide from him far away today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt very bitter in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand some of what his uncle Shen Huan had said.
The people who can be actively co-opted are not very reliable people, and they choose to rely on them either because of interests or for other purposes.
When one day they can't get benefits and can't accomplish the desired goal, then these people will not hesitate to give up and leave.
As the prince of a country, there is no need to take the initiative to win over, but to rely on his own ability to attract people of insight to approach, although such people will also have a utilitarian heart, but they also want to show their ambitions.
Such a person deserves to be treated well, Corporal Lixian, and at the same time, such a person is more useful, instead of trying to woo people everywhere like he used to, and taking the initiative to promise openly and secretly.
It's a pity that he seems to understand a little too late now.
He didn't sleep last night, he thought a lot, and some of the words that his uncle Shen Huan, his mother, and his father said in the past kept appearing.
At that time, he only listened to it, and did not use his heart to experience and feel, and at this moment he realized that those were all good words.
And he found out why he was the way he is.
Because of the pressing of King Chu of Qi, he wants to get the right to speak in the court, but many people under the command of King Qi and King Chu will always get in the way.
He chose to win over the courtiers to increase his right to speak, feeling that as long as there were many people around him, he would not have to be afraid of the suppression of King Qi and King Chu for so long.
But because of this, he ignored a key issue, that is, he was the crown prince, and under one person in the court, Emperor Zhaowu never suppressed him, but fully gave him the dignity that a prince should have.
Even if the King of Qi and the King of Chu jump fiercely, what then? He is the crown prince, and with the support of Emperor Zhaowu, they will never be able to surpass themselves in the court.
However, he chose the most stupid way to rush the King of Qi and the King of Chu, making the court miserable, which was his biggest mistake and the most disappointed point of Emperor Zhaowu in him.
At this moment, the prince's heart is very complicated, although he is still very unwilling to lose the position of prince like this, but there seems to be a sense of relief in the depths of his heart.
The position of the crown prince is good, but he has been too tired all these years, and he has not had a moment of peace in his heart, and now when he knows that he is about to lose the position of the prince that he has valued for many years, he has a strange trace of peace in his heart.
It was a feeling that he found hard to say.
Soon, the Chengtian Gate opened, and the voice of the little chamberlain announcing the dynasty came, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs, princes and princesses, walked inside in an orderly manner.
The scene was very quiet, and even the footsteps were much quieter than usual.
And when everyone entered the Jinluan Palace, the dragon chair that should be empty in Japan was already sitting on it with dignity.
This is the first time in so many years that Emperor Zhaowu has entered the field in advance, and he has been on the throne for so many years, and he will always appear after the Manchu Dynasty has been in place for civil and military affairs.
Thinking about today, before the ministers came in, he was already there, and this situation made many people who felt that the prince would not necessarily be deposed.
The deposition of the crown prince is a major event, and the early arrival of the same Zhaowu Emperor is also a major event.
As the voice of Gao Fuxuan fell.
Meng Xuancheng was the first to stand up and play, and when he saw him stand up, the prince standing at the front felt even more bitter.
He had seen the power of this big troll, but he never thought that he would be the first to come forward today.
It seems that he will not only lose the position of prince, but also may be left stinking for 10,000 years.
While he was waiting for the execution, Meng Xuancheng did not impeach him, but wrote a letter to impeach the county lord of Zhaode for inciting the people to make trouble.
This one made the audience in an uproar, and the prince was also very stunned.
In this regard, Huo Jingzhi, Fang Qiao and Emperor Zhaowu were quite calm, looking expected.
In fact, this is also very understandable, Meng Xuancheng is a big troll and a loyal minister, now the situation is a little chaotic today, the top priority is to calm the people, and why are the people like this, although there is a matter of the prince, but there is also a matter of Huo Junyao.
The prince is the king, although there is a suspicion of persecution, but the starting point is also for the court, standing on the overall situation, although the prince's approach is inappropriate, but it is not a big mistake.
And the lord of Zhaode is a minister, because of her own selfishness, she provokes the people and causes chaos, no matter what the starting point is, her approach is very wrong.
In the imperial society, many of the measures of right and wrong are different, and the consideration of the monarch and the minister is also the most important.
"It's nonsense, Lord Meng, what you said is not right, although the county lord of Zhaode is at the helm of the hot spring villa company, those people are dissatisfied with the court and the prince, but they are spontaneous, what does it have to do with the county lord of Zhaode?"
"If according to what you said, as a courtier, you should share the emperor's worries and be responsible for the stability of the world, and now the people are in chaos in many places today, does it have something to do with you?"
"Then can the lower officials also impeach you?"
Among the Shi clan's faction, someone immediately stood up.
One person stood up, and the people from the faction of the Shi clan came forward to refute Meng Xuancheng, and this scene made many courtiers smack their tongues in their hearts.
Well, after so many years, it was the first time they had seen how the officials of the Shi clan could unite to help someone outside the Shi clan.
