"Let's talk about deposing the prince first." Right Prime Minister Wu Dashou said tentatively. Left Prime Minister Li Liangcheng glanced at the other party, with uncontrollable anger and ridicule in his eyes. "Does Prime Minister Wu think that without the crown prince, His Highness the King of Jin will be able to fulfill his wish?" "Li Xiangmo wants to slander others. At this point, since the prince has asked himself to be deposed, can we and other courtiers turn a blind eye and allow the situation to continue to stalemate?" "Absurd! His Majesty said it himself. There is no idea of deposing the crown prince. It is all a misunderstanding of the world." Old Emperor:... He just said it casually and actually believed it. Right Prime Minister Wu Dashou was very sad that he could not expose the old emperor's hypocrisy in person. Look at the people who have done this. They have already mobilized their troops and even resorted to mutiny to force the courtiers to agree to depose the prince. But he refused to admit it, just to fool the people in the world and maintain his poor face to avoid being scolded too harshly. Why!
How can there be such a good thing in the world, which is both worthy and established, and yet no one will talk about it. Wu Dashou coughed slightly and looked at the old emperor who was standing still, "Your Majesty, please make it clear, but do you want to depose the crown prince?" The old emperor said nothing, Qiu Defu still hugged his legs. Qiu Defu raised his head and was carefully observing the old emperor's reaction. It seemed that it was not time to let go yet, so he had to make a gesture so that the old emperor could hide his face and come down the steps. As a result, Qiu Defu took the initiative and said on behalf of the old emperor, "Your Majesty has never revealed this intention. It's just that...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has inappropriate words and deeds. If he is not punished, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Your Majesty is also in a difficult position. What is rare is that, His Royal Highness was actually aware of his problem, but he didn't expect to ask for help. This matter still needs the two prime ministers to discuss with all the important ministers to come up with a plan to prevent the capital from continuing to be in chaos. I heard that there has been a lot of chaos recently. Everyone has suffered a disaster. Alas, if the capital is restless, everyone will be in trouble!" Shameless! Left Prime Minister Li Liangcheng almost laughed out loud at this pair of masters and servants, and even the most basic bottom line of face was lost. Confusing right and wrong, sending troops into the city to threaten, the plot is very clear, and until now, he has refused to admit the idea of deposing the prince. I have to carry the blame on the heads of the courtiers and wave my sleeves without being stained by the slightest trace of cause and effect. It simply set a new record of shamelessness. Since ancient times, no emperor has been as despicable and despicable as Emperor Taixing. Simply sending troops to Beijing to depose the crown prince, I believe it must be unprecedented, unprecedented, and unique in the world. Right Prime Minister Wu Dashou coughed lightly and said, "We should indeed discuss a plan and not allow the capital to continue to be in chaos." "Your Majesty, please decree that the Shen Rui Battalion of the Divine Artifact Battalion should return its troops to the camp and not stay in the capital any longer. If you send troops to cause chaos in the capital, this will damage the country, the foundation of the imperial court, and the people of the world." Left Prime Minister Li Liangcheng made a stern plea. The old emperor finally moved. Qiu Defu took the opportunity to let go of the old emperor's legs and helped him walk towards the throne. "Since the New Year, I have had trouble sleeping and eating, and have been awakened by nightmares many times. The reason for sending troops to Beijing is really for my safety. With these officers and soldiers in the capital, I can sleep peacefully. You just don't want me to live comfortably. Don't worry, I will have people restrain those officers and soldiers and not allow them to act recklessly. The two prime ministers should discuss the matter of abolishing the prince. At this point, I believe that the matter can no longer be delayed. Everyone has an account.” After the old emperor finished speaking, he sat down on the dragon chair at the right time. A cup of tea with just the right temperature was delivered to me. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, finally feeling more comfortable. "Your Majesty's decree is to depose the crown prince?" Left Prime Minister Li Liangcheng asked. "No! I am thinking about the country and the country, and the world. If the prince is not suitable to inherit the throne, how can I ignore the country because of the family relationship between father and son. I hope that all ministers will put the country and the country first and not for personal reasons. Blinded by emotion and making wrong judgments.” The old emperor was high-sounding and refused to bear the infamy of being a deposed prince. This infamy must be shouldered by the courtiers. Although this move was a cover-up, the old emperor was happy to do it. He firmly believed that with his methods, he could minimize the impact of the deposed crown prince, and he could escape from this incident without any involvement. The prince is incompetent and will be useless if he is useless.
If the courtiers are not willing to bear the infamy, then let the prince bear it. An incompetent prince deserves to be reviled by everyone in the world. As the emperor, he sent troops to Beijing because he was forced by the prince, and it was definitely not his intention. If there is any injury or death this time, it will all be blamed on the prince. The prince is indeed a perfect scapegoat. Left Prime Minister Li Liangcheng sighed secretly, and Right Prime Minister Wu Dashou secretly rejoiced. "Let's have a meeting!" At this point, the matter of deposing the prince must be put on the agenda and cannot be delayed any longer. Although everyone does not want to see this scene, the old emperor is so crazy that if he does not follow his wishes, the situation will continue to be stalemate, and there will never be peace in the capital. I don’t know how many people will die in this chaos. The old emperor nodded with satisfaction. The matter had finally progressed, and his persistence for so many days had not been in vain. Important ministers entered the palace and discussed the issue of deposing the prince. As soon as these words came out, the two prime ministers on the left and right were insulted by the ministers on the spot, and spit was sprayed directly on their faces. The old emperor sat on the wall and watched the play. If he had not been clever, the spittle of the courtiers would have been sprayed in his face. Why is it so difficult to destroy a prince? The stalemate has been going on for almost half a month, and most of the courtiers are still unwilling to compromise. Even beheading cannot threaten them. It's really annoying. Is the prince really so popular? The more popular he is, the more he wants to abolish the prince. No one can question it! The palace is holding a meeting, and the order in the capital has been restored a little. Some officers and soldiers have withdrawn from the capital, and some continue to stay in the city to patrol and deter the scoundrels. The original duties of the Wucheng Bingma Division were all taken away by this group of officers and soldiers. Some people tried to go out to work and earn money. If they stopped working, they would starve to death. It is better to go out and try it out than to starve to death. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not make things difficult, more and more people went out, and the market gradually regained its popularity, and there were more pedestrians on the street. Chen Guanlou and other prison guards gathered on the turret, discussing whether to open the gate and restore order. "The people have all come out, it looks like everything is fine." "But the soldiers are still in the city, and there is no news from the palace. What if there is another chaos?" "The imperial prison next door didn't open the gate, so there is no need for us to do so." "Why don't we ask the Ministry of Justice and listen to the superiors' orders." "You know that there is no one in the Ministry of Justice right now, either hiding at home or petitioning in the palace." "Should we open the gate or not? Let's make a statement." "How about a show of hands and the minority obeys the majority?" "Chen, the jailer, do you support opening the gate?"
