Chapter 152: The crown prince is deposed
Yu Qingyao Feihe passed the book to Xiao Wenxin and defended himself.
The reason is that this kind of thing happened in the Zhou Dynasty, and she couldn't live with him anymore. said that he was worried that he was from a foreign country, and that he would arouse suspicion for him, so that he would no longer have to worry about himself, and told him to work hard to investigate the case, catch the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge his friends. said that she would ask the people of the Heart Sea Sect to help him.
Xiao Wenxin read the letter and felt that what she said was not unreasonable. In this case, he really can't take care of her. Nor did he want her to get involved in such a sordid political conspiracy.
By this time, Xiao Wenxin knew that he was not alone. He suspects that his family is involved in a royal feud.
The assassination that took place in the hunting ground, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the beginning of the battle for succession.
The princes have grown up! Who doesn't want to ascend to that throne, but there is only one position, and this is a matter of contention.
Don't talk about others, Emperor Zhou thinks so.
He was very annoyed in his heart: Damn, raising a son has caused trouble. All of them are white-eyed wolves, Lao Tzu is still so young, you are thinking about my position, this is trying to rebel?
I wish I had died sooner, didn't they?
I can't complain that he is angry, this morning, he took people to hunt in the mountains, and on the way he encountered three terrible traps, if it wasn't for the high vigilance of the Taoist priest who followed the protection, and found the trap in advance, he would have been seriously injured if he didn't die.
Subsequently, the three older sons said that they had been assassinated, and they also carried the body to show him.
The prince said that the second prince wanted to assassinate him.
The second prince meant that the third wanted to kill him.
The third prince said that the prince sent someone to harm him.
Emperor Zhou sent someone to carefully investigate, but found that the prince's man may have been killed by himself. The second prince's people may have been killed by the prince, but there are people from the third prince behind him. The person of the third prince may have been killed by the second prince.
Emperor Zhou's mind was almost dizzy.
What's more, these three guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, what are they trying to do? One by one, they are so skilled in framing and framing?
Thinking about it, the emperor had the most doubts about the crown prince, because he was assassinated, and if the emperor died, it would be in the best interest of the crown prince.
As soon as the emperor died, the crown prince could rightfully ascend the throne and become emperor, and the other princes could only stare dryly.
It is not surprising that his second and third sons want to harm the crown prince. Who doesn't want to be a prince? If they kill the prince, they will have a chance, and that's normal.
The emperor privately hopes to watch his sons fight by themselves, and they fight each other, so that the emperor can be safe and control the government.
The crown prince is the most optimistic. Of course, if the crown prince will be defeated by his younger brother, it means that he is not a qualified emperor. He deserved to be knocked down.
The emperor privately thought that the second prince was assassinated, and the crown prince was very likely to make a move. Recently, in the court, the second prince's people attacked the prince's people very badly.
Once the crown prince is removed, the closest to the crown prince's position is, of course, the second prince.
The third prince may have the heart to kill the second prince with the help of the prince's power.
When he investigated the case and found it to a certain extent, the third prince ordered the people who had mixed into the prince's team to turn themselves in and let him punish the prince. In this way, after getting rid of the first two elder brothers, he can only choose the third prince as the crown prince.
The emperor had some appreciation for the cunning of the third son.
As for the second prince will assassinate the third prince. The emperor saw it this way: these two sons, one took refuge in Mingzhezong and the other took refuge in Xinhaizong. Behind the fight between the two, there must be two instigators.
He was most annoyed by the crown prince. It doesn't matter if the prince and his brother kill each other, if the calculation is on his head, the emperor can't bear it.
The figure of the fourth prince suddenly flashed in his mind, why wasn't he assassinated?
After thinking about it, what the hell, that kid eats, drinks and has fun every day, isn't it sick to assassinate him?
The emperor turned his attention to the first three sons.
He felt that the prince's people were stabbed, which was a sign of his desire to cover up.
He believes that after discovering that his trap was unsuccessful, the prince killed his own people in order to cover up his crime and disturb the eyes of others, making it look like he was assassinated.
For this practice, the emperor expressed his disdain, so easily abandoning the courtiers who followed him, wouldn't it make the teeth of the people who were still alive cold?
On the morning of the next day, Emperor Zhou gave commendations and rewards to the top three hunters in accordance with the established procedures.
The three princes happily came to the stage, thanked the emperor, and received the armor and official seal from the emperor.
However, no one in the audience cared about this anymore.
Everyone was waiting for the terrible storm.
After the three sons stepped down, Emperor Zhou's expression changed.
From the original gentleness and kindness to hideous and terrifying.
"This autumn hunt, a lot of terrible things happened. Some people disregard their families, disrespect the norms, and act recklessly, which is really a great rebellion. Emperor Zhou said sharply.
Everyone in the audience was silent, and they all felt that the sky was about to change in the palace.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhou then said loudly: "Ji Chongming plotted rebellion and intended to kill his father, this sincerity is unbearable, and I am very sad." Now he seized the position of the crown prince, was demoted to a concubine, and was imprisoned for life in the Cold Snow Palace. ”
A group of Imperial Guards swarmed up, grabbed the prince, knocked off his crown, and stripped him of his dragon robes.
The crown prince was shocked and shouted: "Father, the son is wronged!"
However, no one listened to him at this time.
The second prince, King Rui, and the third prince, King Xiu, were both pleasantly surprised, but they stared at the prince with surprise and anger on their faces.
King Kang took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and persuaded in a panic: "Father, the eldest brother doesn't seem to be a person who can kill his father, and I ask my father to see it." ”
Emperor Zhou looked at his fourth son impatiently, kicked him, and said, "Chongde, go and play!"
King Kang fell to the ground and shed two lines of tears, but he didn't dare to say more.
Everyone watched it funny, but they didn't dare to laugh.
Some people secretly thought: King Kang still dared to intercede with his eldest brother at this time, but King Rui and King Xiu were eager to kill the prince immediately, this is really the nine sons born to the dragon, each of which is different. In comparison, King Kang is much more merciful and humane.
Others thought: This idle king is really ignorant, can you take care of this matter? You better listen to the emperor's words and play obediently to the side!
King Kang ran to King Rui and King Xiu again, and begged: "Don't you plead for your eldest brother?
King Rui said angrily: "This kind of father-killer, I hate to kill him with my own hands." ”
King Xiu said angrily: "Fourth brother, go fishing, don't worry about this." ”
King Kang sighed, wiped his tears and walked away.
At noon, when everyone pretended to be okay and celebrated the autumn hunt, King Kang carried wine and food to the prison to visit the waste prince.
When the prince saw it, he was very moved, and said with tears: "Chongde, now only you believe in me." I really didn't rebel. ”
Of course, Li Huaide believed him, because it was Li Huaide who set a trap for the emperor. He laid the trap, and deliberately asked people to remind the Taoist accompanying the emperor, so that the Taoist could find the trap in advance.
