Half an hour later, the crown prince Li Ren followed Gao Liangshi, the head of the inner court, and came to the front of Emperor Li Chongsheng.

Li Chongsheng ordered someone to bring a pestle, let the prince sit down, pointed to the pile of confessions in front of him, and said to Gao Liangshi: "These ...... Show it to the prince!"

Gao Liangshi hurriedly took all the more than 20 confessions into Li Ren's hands. Li Ren only glanced at it twice, then fell to his knees with a "poof", and cried and said:

"Father......'s forgiveness! These things, sons...... Erchen really doesn't know! It's all ...... It's all those people below who act arbitrarily, and the sons must be strictly disciplined when they go back...... Discipline strictly!"

"It's all this time...... Do you still want to quibble?" Li Chongsheng said coldly.

"The eldest husband stands up to the sky, and he must dare to admit what he has done! Even if he has done something wrong, he should be ...... like this," Li Chongsheng said again.

Li Ren said in fear: "Yes...... It was the son's retainer, the son's ...... The son confessed his sin and begged for ...... Ask for the mercy of my father!"

Li Chongsheng said angrily: "I ask you, you are usually willful, and you just let a few foreign appointments go once in a while, why did you sell 22 prefects in one go this time?

Li Ren prostrate on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen...... Next time, Erchen will never dare again...... Beg...... Ask for the mercy of my father!"

"Next time?...... Do you think there will be a next time?" Li Chongsheng snorted coldly.

The emperor's voice was as cold as frost, and the blade pierced Li Ren's ear drum like a blade. At this time, Li Ren seemed to know his fate. He even sneered a few times, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he got up and sat down.

"Isn't it just the position of the crown prince? if the father wants it, take it away...... These good brothers of mine, one is more powerful than the other, aren't they all rushing to sit in this position? Just let them sit down......" Li Ren also showed a look of indifference, and replied indifferently.

"You don't fight for it, but you blame your brother!" Li Chongsheng said in a daze.

"May I ask my father, what should a child do to be considered angry?" Li Ren asked rhetorically.

"Why did you openly take bribes and brazenly sell the official positions of 22 prefects at one time? Are there any princes like you in all dynasties?" Li Chongsheng asked.

"If I don't sell my official position, where did I get the 1,100,000 taels of silver? Without this silver, how can I return the silver owed to the treasury within the time limit set by my father?" Li Ren replied.

Li Chongsheng asked, "As the crown prince, you have 40,000 taels of silver a year. An ordinary peasant family can be used for a year for four taels of silver, why are you so poor and extravagant, and you still want to embezzle millions of silver from the national treasury?"

Li Ren sighed: "Father, the child's usual expenses are a little more, but this silver is not used by the child alone. Am I not allowed to keep so many diners under the gate of the East Palace? With so many ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China taking refuge in me, do I have to help them all the time if something happens to their families? There are a few generals in the frontier who have a good relationship with me, and I can't help their families in Beijing everywhere?...... With so many things, how can I not spend money? How can these 40,000 taels of silver be enough?!"

Li Chongsheng said: "Since you are the prince, you should be upright, self-cultivation, and do your part." Why do you bother to support your disciples and make friends with ministers and border generals? It is already wrong for you to embezzle treasury money, and it is even more wrong to form a party with each other!"

Li Ren sneered: "Father, what you said is good, how do you know my troubles as a son? My father ordered me to be in charge of the criminal department, but he also ordered the eldest brother to be in charge of the military department, the fourth brother to be in charge of the officials' department, and the eighth brother to be in charge of the household department...... In the past, none of the princes of my great cadres had real jobs, and they either only kept their jobs in the capital, or they went out all the way to become vassals...... In the hands of my father, I just gave birth to these many famous halls, one moment I was ordered to 'manage', one time I was ordered to 'supervise', and one moment I was ordered to 'take charge of another'...... But my father said that I only need to 'do my part'...... His father and His Majesty have the skills to use the word 'balance' to the extreme, and also repair these courtiers to be obedient and tight, so that the children can admire the tightness...... However, the child also has a sentence in his heart to ask his godfather, does the father only allow him to form a party with the kings of Chu, Wei, and Jin, and use power for personal gain, can't I be allowed to make some friends and raise a few guests?......

Li Chongsheng listened to his son talking about it now, and it seemed that he had some reason, but it also made him a little impressed. But the so-called "truths" are nothing more than strong words, but the prince's courage today really surprised the emperor.

"According to you, it's all my fault that you've come to this point?" asked Li Chongsheng.

"The child doesn't dare! It's just that things have come to this point, and there are a few words that the child has been holding in his heart, and he has to say it at this time......" Li Ren replied coldly, and there seemed to be a lot of indignation in his tone.

"You are willful, betraying your official position, greedy for state money, and bent on selfishness! You have come to this point because you are completely to blame, and you still have the face to blame me? Did I let you go to the treasury to borrow silver? Did I let you sell your official position to make money? Did I let you squander it like this? As a prince and a prince, you don't think about self-love, set an example for your brothers, and set an example for your ministers. You have been a prince for forty-six years, and you only know how to indulge in entertainment every day, and you never forget to enjoy feasts and greedy pleasures, and the pomp and circumstance of going out is better than mine...... Tell me yourself, when have you ever done a serious thing?!" Li Chongsheng rebuked loudly. The emperor couldn't help but stand up at this time, his beard trembling, and the anger in his heart was already surging like waves......

"Father...... The father said that the child had been the crown prince for forty-six years and had not done a single serious thing. At this time, the child also has a sentence to ask, in the past 46 years, how can any of the things that the child has done can enter the eyes of his father? eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, eighth brother...... They can always be praised by their father, and they can be cared for everywhere. My father once praised me one day? My son has been a prince for forty-six years, and every day he is terrified, so it is okay not to do such a prince...... Let me ask the whole world, which dynasty and which generation, has there been a prince who has been a prince for 46 years? The father and the emperor are not tired of sitting on this dragon chair, but the position of the prince of the child is really tired...... Today, my father wants to abolish my crown prince, so let's abolish it, and the child has no complaints...... The child's flesh and blood body is also given by the father, if the father is interested, please also take it away! The child must die calmly and without resentment!" Li Ren still had a completely unscrupulous expression, and he replied loudly in the face of Li Chongsheng's burning gaze. Today, he knew that the end had been decided, so he simply put his heart aside and let it go......

"Let me ask which dynasty and which generation in the whole world, has there been a prince who has been a prince for 46 years? The father and the emperor don't think that this dragon chair is tired, but the position of the prince is really tired......" Li Ren's words were clearly cursing him for Li Chongsheng's age to live too long. Although the Son of Heaven is old, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and his mind is so alert, this sentence is like a heavy thunder, which exploded in his heart, and Li Chongsheng was so angry that he almost turned his back on his heart......

"Rebel...... Get out!" Li Chongsheng sat down on the couch and shouted weakly.

Gao Liangshi, the head of the inner court, didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran in and took Li Ren's hand and walked out. Li Ren had just walked outside the palace gate, but he heard Emperor Li Chongsheng ask from afar:

"You befriended Zuo Wuwei Li Junxian, do you really have bad intentions?"

Li Ren never dreamed that his father would be able to ask such a sentence at this time. Just because he had just read a few confessions of the bribery of the donor, he was so frightened that he knelt down in court. And he has never seen the confession that the prince befriended the general Zuo Wuwei and had bad intentions. Now, the emperor's cold question, he was naturally confused......

Li Ren sneered and replied lightly:

"My father said I have it, so I have it......"
