Chapter 388; quarrel
It seems that it is not too easy to abolish the crown prince.
Although he didn't achieve his goal, Emperor Zhaowu was not irritable at all, after all, he had already guessed the difficulty of this matter.
If it doesn't work once, then next time.
Wen Ruo is still young now, and he just wants to abolish the prince, and he doesn't want the prince's life, so he has to pay attention to the strength of the means.
It's a little sad.
The emperor has already done this, and the matter of abolishing the prince must not be continued.
Although the king of Qi and Chu were unwilling, he also understood that if he continued to hold on, he would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.
The next court meeting is to discuss how to pacify the people of the world, and the prince needs to write a letter of repentance and announce it to the world.
In this regard, the prince did not refuse at all, after all, it was very good for him to keep the position of the prince, and it could even be said to be a surprise.
So it doesn't matter if you write a letter of repentance or something.
However, although he didn't care, Cao Guogong disagreed, and said that although he was at fault for this matter, he was far from writing a letter of repentance.
The prince's letter of repentance is like the emperor's edict, which is not a good thing.
The emperor couldn't resist this thing, after all, if he edicted himself, he would leave a heavy mark in the history books.
The twists and turns in this are easy to be interpreted by people.
The emperor is still so jealous, what about the crown prince?
That's even more troublesome, and it's very easy to become the target of others' attacks, which is a clear mistake.
The identity of the prince is sensitive, and there is such a clear mistake, if someone takes advantage of it, this influence will continue to expand, and the position of the prince will inevitably not be kept at that time.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that someone maliciously poured dirty water on His Royal Highness the Prince."
As soon as Cao Guogong's words came out, the people from the original prince's faction also echoed it, and said that although His Royal Highness the prince was at fault, the person behind this was the black hand.
The prince is at fault and can be punished, but the mastermind behind this scene cannot be let go, and it must be strictly investigated and given an explanation to the people of the world.
"Hmph, you just talk about strict investigation, are you discussing strict investigation now?"
"Now the discussion is how to calm people's hearts."
"Nowadays, many people are making a fuss, although they haven't made very radical moves, but if they don't give an explanation, how do they think of the court?"
"You say the investigation, how much time does that take? Three days, five days, ten days and half a month, or more? ”
"So if anything happens here and there during this time, who of you will be responsible?"
King Qi stepped forward.
Although the prince escaped this time, it is absolutely impossible to escape like this, and the matter of repentance must be decided.
This is a sharp blade that will be used to attack the prince in the future.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is right, now public opinion is boiling in many places, and it must be calmed down as soon as possible, if it is delayed, there may be another incident, and public opinion must be appeased first."
"As for the investigation of the people behind the scenes, we can do it together."
The ministers argued again, and the princelings, led by Cao Guogong, resolutely disagreed to write a letter of repentance, believing that this was a small mistake of the prince and could be punished, but such a punishment was too severe and should not be so.
And the king of Qi and the king of Chu are also rare to unite together, and they attack the prince, the purpose is to let the prince come forward to calm the boiling public opinion.
There is also the last faction, that is, Emperor Zhaowu, Ji Guogong, and the Xun noble clan, none of them are involved in this matter.
They all just listened quietly to the quarrel between the three brothers.
And Emperor Zhaowu on the high platform looked at this scene, and his face was ugly.
The three sons really don't stop if they don't kill each other.
"That's enough."
Emperor Zhaowu roared angrily, and the ministers all quieted down.
"When have you been arguing? Now the public opinion is boiling outside, and you are still here arguing over your own little thoughts. ”
"Why, the peace of the world is so insignificant in front of you?"
The emperor was furious, and the faces of the people of the three factions changed greatly.
"Prince, so many people say that you don't deserve such a punishment, what do you think of yourself?"
At this time, the crown prince had already woken up from the ecstasy of keeping his seat, and he also saw the quarrel of the ministers just now.
Cao Guogong and others argued so hard to prevent him from writing a letter of repentance, and he also knew what they thought, and he also knew that he really couldn't write this letter of repentance.
If this is written, it will be equivalent to putting a knife on your head, and this seat will still be shaky.
At this time, hearing the emperor's question, he was silent for a moment and walked out and bowed down.
"Father, the sons have some selfish intentions against the Zhaode County Lord this time, but more importantly, they want our Yu Dynasty to gain a huge advantage in the war of the enemy country in the future."
"Some of the methods used are really not good, this is not prevaricated by the sons, how the father wants to punish him, the sons and ministers admit it."
"However, it is absolutely unjust to say that Erchen wants to target the Hot Spring Mountain Company, and Erchen has never intended to do anything to the Hot Spring Mountain Company."
"Therefore, it should be the son's fault, and the son's minister admits it, but it is not the son's fault, and the son-chan resolutely refuses to admit it."
A resolute denial made Cao Guogong's face smile a lot.
It seems that this incident has made the prince grow up a little.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not what you said, although you really haven't done anything to the Hot Spring Villa so far, but there is no wind and no waves, so many people everywhere have named you, even if you didn't do it, but it was because of you."
King Qi spoke again.
At this time, many neutral people also nodded secretly.
There is some truth to this, although the prince has not yet done anything to the Hot Spring Mountain Villa Company in the open.
But now that things have come out, and everyone names the prince, then there must be a problem here.
Especially now that there is trouble everywhere today, it is all because of the prince, and the prince should indeed be allowed to calm down.
"Father, the son is wronged, the son has absolutely no bad intentions for the hot spring villa company, the father can arrange someone to investigate, if the investigation is found to be related to the son, the son will be punished by the father."
When everyone heard what he said, they were a little suspicious in their hearts.
Although the prince is not very good, but what he values most in his life is the position of the prince, and today he took the initiative to ask for the abolition of the prince, which shocked many people, but after the shock, they all understood that this was the prince's retreat.
But now the prince said such things again, although he did not explicitly say that he would abolish the prince, but he would let him be punished casually, which can be regarded as using the prince's position as a bet in disguise.
It is smart to retreat for advance once, so the second time, it is not to retreat for advancement, but I am afraid that this matter has little to do with the prince.
