Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 252 Dethroning the Prince
The next day, Wei Zheng was the first to appear in the Tai Chi Hall.

But what shocked him unceasingly was that Li Chengqian was there, he glared at him immediately, and he was very keenly aware that something was wrong.

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up, and he was so proud that he was sarcasm at Wei Zheng.

"What? Mr. Wei is not happy to see me here?"

"I really disappoint you. I am the emperor's son. How could my father depose me and kill me just because of a few untouchables?"

Li Chengqian laughed wildly. He was brought here before dawn, and Wang De went to pick him up in person.

He only said that there was a major event today, and the prince must be present. Li Chengqian thought about it and just reprimanded himself in front of the officials.

How could Li Shimin have the heart to kill him.

Wei Zheng was so indignant that he stood directly on one side, watching the ministers come in one after another, and their reactions varied.

Cheng Yaojin came, and Li Junxian came, but when they saw Li Chengqian, they were all shocked on the spot, and both of them were dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty's meaning." Wei Zheng sneered, his words full of helplessness.

Cheng Yaojin was also disappointed, he didn't expect Li Shimin to make up his mind even if Li Chengqian made such a big mistake this time.

The Minister of Rites also came, but his reaction was different from everyone else's. After seeing Li Chengqian, he wished he could stand still.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!"

"I knew that the emperor would take into account the relationship between father and son and forgive His Highness. This time, His Highness survived a catastrophe. In the future, I will see how those young people will be frightened."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites rushed to Li Chengqian, and asked for warmth, as if his own father was standing in front of him.

But it immediately disgusted everyone present, even a kind person like Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it.

"Who do you say is Xiaoxiao's generation?"

Thinking about the words of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, they scolded them all, including those who advocated severe punishment.

Wei Zheng's face was even more gloomy, and he looked at the Minister of Rites with particularly unkind eyes.

Li Min also came over and came in unhurriedly. This gave them a backbone.

However, everyone did not expect that Li Yin was not at all surprised when he saw Li Chengqian appearing in the Taiji Hall, but instead walked over on his own initiative.

"King Liang, the prince escaped again, but you have to be careful, after all, not everyone has such good luck."

Li Chengqian showed off, but it made Li Yin chuckle directly, and didn't take his words seriously at all.

After all, with what happened yesterday, Li Shimin has a bottom line on what Li Shimin is thinking.

Then he gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look, and said playfully.

"Prince, what is going on is still uncertain. Don't cry when you hear a bad result, it will be bad."

While Li Min was speaking, Li Shimin had already arrived. Wang De cleared his throat and announced the start of the court meeting, and the whole place fell silent.

Li Chengqian looked very happy and proud, waiting for Li Shimin to announce in public that he would forgive his mistakes.

If there is no accident, I will be able to return to the East Palace immediately, and be a crown prince respected by thousands of people.

Can……

"Go and read my will, and let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty listen to it. Their loyal emperor has not been so stupefied that he doesn't know right from wrong."

After Li Shimin glanced at Wang De, he took out the imperial decree that he had drawn up a long time ago, and began to recite it aloud.

The voice was sharp, but full of penetrating power. Even so, all civil and military officials held their breath, for fear of hearing something wrong.

As fate would have it, the emperor issued an edict: The prince has no virtue, framed the prince, harmed the loyal, indulged his subordinates, and so on.

Now he was deposed from the position of prince, demoted to prince, and demoted from Chang'an city.

There were not many words, but Wang De became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court changed.

what!
Li Chengqian's eyes widened, he looked like a ghost, he couldn't believe what he just heard.

But in the end it was something he couldn't escape, Li Chengqian could only feel the strength in his body being drained in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

The arrogance at the beginning was completely gone.

Wei Zheng and the others showed surprise on their faces, and immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty is wise, the court is blessed, and the world is blessed!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cheng Yaojin also felt very happy.

Seeing that the Minister of Rites was dumbfounded, kneeling on the ground with a pale complexion, he looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.

But at this moment, his master didn't have any intention of defending him, he was too busy to take care of himself, and immediately kowtowed like garlic, he was really afraid.

"Father, I'm wrong, don't let me leave Chang'an, I still want to be filial by your side!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but kowtow and admit his mistake, but he couldn't shake Li Shimin's mind. He shook his head gently and said.

"I've made up my mind."

Suddenly, there was an uproar all over the court, and the sound of quarreling suddenly rose.

"Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Rites took the lead, and several other important ministers who supported Li Chengqian stepped forward one after another.

"The crown prince is the foundation of the country, so abolishing the establishment is not in line with the etiquette!"

It's etiquette again!

Li Yin couldn't help smacking his lips, he underestimated the Minister of Rites a lot in his heart, after all, he used etiquette to protect Li Chengqian over and over again, and he was almost tired of hearing it.

But at such an important juncture, he was not the only one who stood up to speak for Li Chengqian.

Someone spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I think the prince cannot be deposed. Although he is wrong, he is still the heir of a country. After he is deposed, the people of the world will be in panic."

"Okay, do you even dare to disobey my will now?"

Li Shimin saw that all the prince's faction stood up, and couldn't help laughing.

For a moment, the court was solemn, and Li Yin was startled, and couldn't help but worry about these important officials.

What Li Shimin is most afraid of is that the party faction will overwhelm the imperial power, but now the prince's faction has openly opposed it in the court, but it has made things worse.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's heart was ashamed, how could he not know that he had fallen into a desperate situation, and there was no possibility of maneuvering at all.

Weakly let his head hang down, he listened to some people who were ignorant of the wind suddenly changed their words to throw trouble at him, and smiled desolately.

"If I knew this earlier, why bother?" Li Shimin glanced at him, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

But he waved his hand to announce the end of the court, and the Minister of Rites burst into tears.

In the crowd, Li Tai's eyes were changeable, but it was hard to hide the joy all over his body.

Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Wei Zheng said a long word, and walked slowly to Li Yin.

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang really impressed the old minister this time. He is very young but he knows right from wrong and dares to do things that others dare not do."

Wei Zheng saluted Li Yin very solemnly.

"My lord Wei has said it before. I just did what I should do. After all, the crown prince is so tyrannical. If he really ascends to the ninth fifth position, it will suffer for the people of the world."
