Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The second prince knelt on the ground, sweating secretly for the prince. The father hated this kind of domineering and domineering behavior that caused the separation of his wife and children, and it involved the Bao family. It seems that this storm cannot be avoided, so the headache Lower and lower, more respectful.

The crown prince straightened up when he heard the visitor's reply, and defended himself confidently: "Father is aware that this matter has nothing to do with my son and minister. It must be that the unruly people don't know the inside story, and there are mistakes..."

Before the prince finished speaking, the emperor had already kicked him. The prince crooked and fell on the second prince next to him. The prince was stunned. He lost his mother since he was a child, and was held in the palm of the emperor's hand. No, not even a fingernail.

The crown prince was astonished, the second prince and the others were also secretly shocked, the imperial study fell into a deathly silence, only the emperor was panting heavily from anger, even the always bold fifth prince did not dare to say a word.

The emperor tremblingly pointed at the prince, and said angrily: "Niety! You still refuse to repent until this time, and you are greedy for beauty, causing family ruin and death. You still have the face to say that it has nothing to do with you. Do you really think I am an old fool? You You bastard, you forgot all my usual teachings, what qualifications do you have to be a prince! I'm going to abolish you!"

Shi Potian was astonished, not only the princes were petrified, but the emperor was also stunned, the prince was already crying and rushed over: "Father, please calm down, my son knows that he is wrong! Please punish the father!"

The emperor, however, staggered two steps exhaustedly and supported the table. Seeing the prince's begging, he calmed down, and his tone was a little sad and disappointed: "You have been a prince since you were born, and eating and drinking are the best. I am a real brother, and I have to salute you when I see you. I have always felt sorry for your mother. I want to treat you better as compensation, but in the end, this has harmed you and made you more arrogant, secretly withholding tribute, embezzling money, and committing slavery and murder. .Do you think I don’t know? Now it’s getting worse and worse, and you’re ignoring human life! How can you be worthy of being a prince with such virtue?"

The crown prince hugged the emperor's thigh and just cried: "I beg father and emperor to spare my son this time for the mother's sake, and my son will definitely change his past."

What's the use of hindsight?The emperor looked at the remaining five sons who were kneeling on the ground. The second prince was more talented than the prince, and had a honest personality.Although the third prince is narrow-minded, he can treat his elders respectfully.He is also very kind to his brothers.

The fourth prince was silent, but he didn't dare to do bad things. The fifth prince had a noble status, and at most he just took advantage of his power to grab other people's family heirlooms to please himself, and no human life was involved. As for the sixth prince.Younger, more sensible and filial.

Only the prince can do whatever he wants now.He is still alive, he is so cruel, if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, wouldn't it be worse?At that time, I am afraid that he will become the king of subjugation!

The emperor's heart became more and more determined. What was originally just a word when he was extremely angry has now become a golden word: "Prince Hong Zhou, behaved perversely, disregarded human life, and had a lack of virtue. Immediately depose the crown prince and make him stay locked up in the palace and think about his mistakes. No one is allowed to visit, so!"

The prince collapsed to the ground, and everyone in the imperial study was stunned for a long time. Even the second prince couldn't believe it. This, this, really deposed the prince?

The second prince felt more and more how insignificant people are in front of power. The prince met him yesterday and was arrogantly provocative. Today is just a word from his father.

Chen Ruiwen and the others in the outside room could also hear clearly, they couldn't help but look at each other, they also had the same reaction, why is this abolished?It's too fast!

After the emperor said this, he was silent for a long time. The crown prince couldn't cry anymore. He was still in a daze before he could react. He was the crown prince as long as he could remember. Some couldn't believe it, he only knew how to be a prince, if he wasn't a prince, how could he be an ordinary person?

The emperor swept around the people in the room and said, "What else do you have to say?"

He didn't ask the prince, but all the people present, but he was answered by silence, the emperor was completely disappointed, even if one person stood up and said a word for the prince.

But there wasn't any of them, which shows that the prince is usually popular, maybe this is the destiny, the emperor was really tired, and said: "You all go back, Hong Zhou, from now on you can go back and think about your past behind closed doors."

Everyone backed out, the second prince still felt a little unbelievable when he saw the bright sun outside, he and Chen Ruiwen glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

The emperor's move shocked the entire capital. The good prince, he would be abolished if he said he would be abolished. Everyone couldn't believe it. Shen's body shook when he heard this, and he murmured: "Impossible."

At that time, although Chen Ruiwen was kneeling outside, he could hear the movement inside clearly. He explained it in detail, and even the emperor was silent for about a quarter of an hour. Analyzing the reason for the emperor's move: "For one thing, the couple committed suicide on the spot and sued the prince for disorderly behavior by declaring their death. In front of civil and military officials and the common people, the emperor will definitely have a hard time, the prince..."

He paused, and said: "He was the one who taught the abolition of the prince. This move undoubtedly slapped the emperor severely. The emperor must be very annoyed. In addition to the fact that the prince plotted against the Lin family a while ago, the emperor was even more angry." Anger, that's when I said the words of the abolished prince."

Chen Yongming also looked a little confused: "The crown prince has been abolished, what should we do next?"

Chen Yidao: "The matter of the state reserve is related to the country, so naturally we must hurry up and establish a new crown prince."

He looked at his sons: "You all keep in touch with your old friends, and take advantage of this momentum to support the second prince as the prince."

Lin Wanru, who had been listening silently, said loudly, "It's absolutely impossible!"

Everyone focused their attention on Lin Wanru, Chen Yi was a little displeased: "Why not?"

Shen looked at Lin Wanru's gaze with some reproach, Lin Wanru gritted her teeth and stood up, saying: "As my grandfather said, the emperor's dismissal of the prince is just a momentary impulse. If the emperor calms down and thinks of his father-son relationship with the prince, he will regret it again." What should we do? You know, the crown prince was raised by the emperor, so the relationship is naturally different, and the crown prince is the eldest son, regardless of his status as the prince, his status in the eyes of the emperor is also different, let alone Rui Wen I also said that after the emperor abolished the crown prince, he asked another question. It can be seen that he wanted someone to intercede for the crown prince. Grandpa put himself in the shoes of the emperor and thought about it. The emperor is not only the emperor, but also his father. If he hurriedly supported the second prince as the crown prince How could the emperor be happy, maybe he would anger the second prince, saying that he had long wanted to seize the throne."

Both Chen Yi and Chen Yongming were silent. It is undeniable that what Lin Wanru said made sense. Everyone thought that the crown prince would be abolished, and the second prince would be the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, but they did not expect this level. After careful analysis, the emperor regretted it. The possibility is still great.

Lin Wanru was very nervous. If Chen Yi insisted on going his own way, I was afraid that he would not be able to object. Then he would become the second prince when disaster struck. In the previous life, if the prince was killed, it would be the same. But the emperor couldn't bear it, and said he regretted it, didn't he regret it?

Compared with killing siblings, it is abominable to neglect human life, but the dead are already dead, so it is nothing. The emperor can't kill the prince to pay for the lives of a few ordinary people.

Chen Yi didn't speak, but Chen Ruiwen said: "I think what Wan Ruo said is very reasonable. After all, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is not ordinary. I think it's better to stay still and wait for the news from everyone."

Chen Yi hesitated again and again, but his cautious nature prevailed, and told Chen Yongming a few: "Let's wait and see what happens, even if someone intends to support the second prince, he must suppress it first."

Chen Yongming complied, Lin Wanru heaved a sigh of relief, and then apologized to Chen Yi: "My grandson-in-law was reckless just now, please forgive my grandfather."

Chen Yidao: "If you care about it, you will be chaotic. We are a family, honor and disgrace, and we must speak up if we have something to say. You have done a good job."

Chen Yongming also said with a smile: "Wanru is very thoughtful, and has understood the emperor's mind. If the emperor really values ​​the relationship between father and son with the prince, then Wanru will have made a great contribution." A little embarrassed, Chen Yi looked at it with a smile, thinking that the granddaughter-in-law was married to the right one after all.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor didn't mention the prince's dismissal. He said a few things without any pain and then withdrew from the court. All the civil and military officials talked a lot, and those who favored the second prince gathered around Chen Yongming to inquire. How to deal with it.

Chen Yongming calmed down one by one according to what Chen Yi said, and repeatedly told him to stand still, all the officials were also panicked. Seeing that Chen Yongming was not in a hurry, he had a backbone.

When the imperial decree to abolish the crown prince was formally issued, the crown prince and princess concubine were locked up in Yuqing Palace to contemplate their mistakes, and three meals a day were delivered to them. People inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in.

Bao Fengyi was called to scold the Bao family for the crime of robbing civilian women and disregarding human life. She was deprived of the official positions of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the prince's Taibao. Bao Changfei was even locked away by Jin Yiwei. People were in panic, and everything fell on Bao Changling. On the one hand, he wanted to inquire about the news of the crown prince, and at the same time, he wanted to inquire about Bao Changfei's news.

Even if they were begging for help, few people dared to take care of this matter. The Bao family was in a state of distress and fell from the sky to the ground. They were still at a loss. The Jia family was terrified for several days. Sister Feng went to Bao's house to visit Yingchun and inquire about the news, and then asked Lin Daiyu to go to Chen's house to see Lin Wanru and inquire about the news.

Although Lin Daiyu didn't care about the affairs of the court, it can be seen that Jia's mother was in fear all day long and understood the importance of this matter. Lin Wanru comforted her: "The emperor abolished the prince because the prince did something wrong. This matter has nothing to do with the Jia family. Coherent, the emperor is a sage king, he will not vent his anger indiscriminately, you go back and ask the old lady to rest assured that what happens to others, you will do what you want, for fear of being shot at the head."
