"Didn't I say that this matter can be discussed later? Let's wait until the queen is buried before we talk about it." Emperor Qin said gritting his teeth.

Jiang Minghuai had a smile on his face and glanced at Lord Li.

Lord Li said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince killed the Queen. This is treason. How can such a person be allowed to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince? Your Majesty, please think twice."

After he finished speaking, the people on their knees shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Emperor Qin felt a wave of pain, his eyes filled with pain.

"Shut up." Emperor Qin shouted loudly.

The ministers below didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"I remember that the Queen has been in the position of Empress for many years, and I also remember the relationship between us, so the things she did should be forgotten. And the Crown Prince killed her for his own reasons. Are you forcing me to do this?"

"Your Majesty, although the Queen has done many wrong things, no matter what, there are laws of our Qin Dynasty to punish her, and the Crown Prince directly killed the Queen privately. How can such a cruel and unscrupulous crown prince who despises the laws of our Qin Dynasty be capable of such a heavy responsibility? So please, Your Majesty, depose the crown prince and appoint a virtuous person." Lord Li remained unmoved and continued to persuade.

"Li Chaoyang, you..."

Emperor Qin was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at him with trembling hands, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Li Chaoyang seemed not to be afraid of Emperor Qin's anger at all, and shouted again, "Your Majesty, please reappoint the crown prince."

The court officials below also echoed him.

"You rebelled against me."

Emperor Qin was so angry that he threw all the memorials on the table at them.

But they remained unmoved.

Emperor Qin's chest heaved up and down, he gasped for breath and coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Jiang Minghuai, who had been silent all the time, said softly.

After Emperor Qin felt a little better, he looked at Jiang Minghuai with hope.

"My dear, you are a reasonable person. Tell me, should the crown prince be deposed?"

"Your Majesty, I have just returned to Kyoto. I don't know the truth at all and dare not make any rash comments." Jiang Minghuai said calmly.

Emperor Qin choked, but thought that he had always been like this, which was better than the courtiers who only said sweet words in front of him but did not stand on his side at the critical moment.

In addition, because of his meritorious service in guarding the border, people unconsciously became more tolerant and trusting of him.

The second prince, who had been silent, rolled his eyes.

Over the years, his father has become increasingly confused.

I don't know how he managed to hold on to the throne for so many years.

"I allow you to say it."

Jiang Minghuai lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes full of contempt, but when he raised his head again, he was clear-headed.

"Your Majesty, I also think what these ministers said is right. Our Qin Dynasty has always been based on filial piety. And the prince, for personal grudges, braved the veil and directly killed the queen who raised him. This is matricide, which is unfilial and disloyal.

As the future monarch, such a person is not suitable. If the prince commits a crime, he will not be treated the same as the common people, which will damage the dignity of your majesty in the future. "

Hearing the last sentence, Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes slightly.

My heart couldn't help but waver.

"Your Majesty, General Jiang is right. Please issue an edict immediately to depose the crown prince and re-appoint a crown prince to rectify the government of our Qin Dynasty. Does Your Majesty really want to see the future of our Qin Dynasty handed over to such a person?" Li Chaoyang immediately agreed.

And his questioning one by one also tilted the balance in Emperor Qin's heart.

He was already dissatisfied with the queen, and now that she had killed his beloved woman, he hated her to the core.

But the queen was the daughter of destiny, and her existence could bring good luck to the Qin State, so she was tolerated again and again. Even though she knew that she had done those treasonous things, for the sake of the Qin State, she did not think of killing her, but locked her up in the cold palace.

This would not only ensure her survival and not affect the fate of Qin, but also serve as a punishment for the queen.

But he didn't expect that Wei Chang would kill the queen right in front of him.

At that time, he was angry, but also a little afraid of Wei Chang's audacity. She dared to kill someone in front of him, and she was the queen of a country.

He angrily threw him into the Heavenly Prison, but thinking that the child was born to his beloved woman, he couldn't bear to block all his paths, so he kept his position as crown prince.

But now, after hearing what these ministers said, the little bit of sympathy he had for Wei Chang in his heart gradually diminished.

If he dared to kill the queen, would she kill him one day? When Emperor Qin thought of this possibility, his eyes became bright.

He glanced again and saw that most of the ministers were kneeling down, and he became even more determined.

"Come here, pass down my decree. Crown Prince Wei Chang murdered his mother and is unworthy of his position. He is deposed from his position as Crown Prince and demoted to a commoner. He is exiled to Lingnan immediately and cannot return to the capital without an imperial decree."

The ministers all knew that this was the biggest concession the Emperor had ever made, so they did not say anything and all praised His Majesty for his wisdom.

The second prince was not satisfied with this result, but when he thought about who knew what would happen on the road to exile, he felt a little relieved.

Jiang Minghuai originally planned to deprive Wei Chang of his position as Crown Prince and then have him executed immediately.

He was very dissatisfied with this result.

But he didn't say anything.

He still has a lot of things to do now, and this is just one of them. Now that the prince has been deposed, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Ruanxi soon found out about this matter.

The cup in her hand fell directly to the ground. Even though the fragments pierced her feet, she didn't feel any pain.

His body also trembled slightly.

"Princess, are you okay?" Yu Shui asked with a worried look on her face.

Jiang Ruanxi shook his head.

The rain didn't dare make a sound anymore.

She had thought about this day a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Yesterday, Grand Tutor Ling went to the southwest, but he didn't expect that Emperor Qin would decide so quickly to depose Crown Prince Wei Chang.

If Grand Tutor Ling were here, we could have delayed some time.

It seems that some things need to be accelerated.

He raised his head and gave orders to the rain.

"Don't call me Crown Princess anymore. Just call me Madam."

Yu Shui was stunned, and realized that Wei Chang had been demoted to a commoner, and nodded to her.

"Also, go find Master Bian Du and Qi Wu right now and ask them to find a way to gather all the people from Wuming Island in Kyoto together and wait for my message."

Yu Shui heard that Jiang Ruanxi seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen, so he didn't dare to delay and turned around and went out the door.

After the rain stopped, Jiang Ruanxi's expression became complicated.

She had already prepared herself mentally for Wei Chang to be deposed as crown prince, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Fortunately, he was not beheaded, but was only demoted to a commoner.

Thinking about what happened between them, now think about it, in fact, the current situation in Kyoto, becoming a commoner, isn't it a bad thing?

After figuring it out, Jiang Ruanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
