"Every sentence of the minister's play is true?" Zhao Wenying knelt in the Qianqing Palace, her forehead touched the ground, and the cold sweat rolled down her head, but she didn't change her mouth and plead guilty as Eunuch Chang expected. Isn't it true that the prince has had close contacts with the general? Is he harboring evil intentions? Why do you press this humble minister so hard?"

"Reckless talk about the affairs of the Tian family, the crown prince? Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?" Zhao Wenying's paper was thrown heavily in front of him, "Are you going to rebel?"

"It is precisely because I have His Majesty in my heart that I can tell what I have seen and heard. I dare not hide anything. Your Majesty, Liu Xiuyuan is a lesson from the past!" Zhao Wenying did not dare to stand up, but she fell back. He spoke fluently, "Your Majesty does not doubt the Crown Prince,? But does the Crown Prince doubt His Majesty?"

Liu Xun, whose name is Xiuyuan, was the eldest son of Liu Yilong, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and his mother was Liu Yilong's queen Yuan Qigui.In the 30th year of Yuanjia, Liu Yilong wanted to abolish the crown prince, but Liu Xun, who was still the crown prince at that time, learned about it. Liu Xun and his brothers conspired to kill his father and seize the throne, so he ascended the throne.Then soon Liu Xun was stepped down by his brothers because of the wrong origin of the throne,? Not long after, Liu Song perished.

After getting angry, the old emperor calmed down, "You know what will happen if you falsely accuse the prince?"

Zhao Wenying knelt on the ground, and the coldness of winter crept up to his heart along his knees, "Yes, please Your Majesty to see clearly."

At this moment, the emperor thought a lot.The next day when he went to court, facing the river embankment construction plan submitted by the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Household Department argued hard, in a word, he couldn't come up with so much money.

So the Ministry of Industry said, "Look at the damage of the dikes along the Yellow River. If you don't repair them quickly in winter, the farmland on both sides of the river will be flooded in summer."The Ministry of Households said that you will soon get there. The embankment is repaired every year, but it is not good every year. You people from the Ministry of Industry are very bad.

Then the two parties started to choke. Fortunately, I still remembered that this was the palace, not a restaurant on the street, and the quarrel did not develop into a fight.There were many people and noisy, and the emperor's tinnitus happened again.Eunuch Chang stood up from behind the throne, "Be quiet."

Probably the eunuchs who needed to convey the message had practiced seriously how to make the voice spread far in the open place. After Eunuch Chang uttered his voice, the voice in the hall decreased a lot. "Prince, what do you think?"

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, the prince wanted to end the matter quickly, so he said, "It's better to allocate some money first, and at the same time send the minister to check the severely damaged river embankment mentioned by the Ministry of Industry. Of course, there is nothing to talk about repairing; if someone is sorry for the official robes on his body and cannot plead for the people, but wants to amass money by repairing the embankment, he will be punished."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "In your opinion, who should be sent?"

The prince showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I don't know much about the officials in the supervisory department, so let the official department select candidates based on the evaluations of previous years."

The emperor suddenly thought that the villain who was sent by him for a thousand miles to mess with the prince was the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!Does he know nothing about the evaluation of officials?What's more, is it possible that the prince can already speak in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials, so that he can influence the promotion of officials?How many civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are truly loyal to the aging emperor, not the prince, the young and powerful future king?

After returning to the palace at night, the emperor finally summoned the secret staff around him to investigate the prince's usual activities.In just five days, there was a thick stack of papers on the desk. Who did the crown prince have a good conversation with, and whom he communicated with freely... He even had correspondence with that boy who was dispatched by him for a thousand miles.These people intercepted one of the letters, which was sent to the villain by Donggong, in which the crown prince spoke softly, telling the kid, "Don't be impatient, now the most important thing is to maintain your health, don't show your strength, and plan for the future."

When the prince was enlightened, the emperor was afraid that the masters in the Shangshufang would not be dedicated, so he often hugged people on his knees to teach him to write.Later, he had to learn to write essays, and he also selected the bibliography for the master to explain, and he would personally correct the prince's homework whenever he was free.Now in the letter intercepted by Anbu, you can often see the little habits that the prince only has in his writing.The emperor only felt buzzing in his ears, and soon fell into darkness.

When Concubine Zhuang received the news that the emperor had passed out in the Qianqing Palace, she was looking through the list of gifts from the Huangzhuang around the capital this winter with Concubine Li.There is Eunuch Chang in the Qianqing Palace, and there is no sign of chaos at present, but the maids and eunuchs who come and go are unavoidably panicked, and there is something on their faces.

Concubine Zhuang was sitting beside the emperor's bed, and Eunuch Chang picked up the letter paper that the emperor was flipping through just now, and now it was placed neatly on the emperor's bedside.Concubine Zhuang glanced at it, secretly frightened, hastily blocked the news, and announced to see the imperial doctor.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, the emperor had regained some consciousness.Vaguely, the emperor felt his hand being held by someone, as if some warm liquid was falling drop by drop on the back of his hand.Then, his hand was held and touched a tear-stained face.

Concubine Zhuang looked at the emperor's eyes rolling back and forth, and said with a sad tone, "Your majesty, didn't you say that you would take good care of Gu Chenqie in the future? Don't abandon your ministers and concubines, okay?"

This is what the emperor said to Concubine Zhuang when she was rescuing Concubine Zhuang from his wounds. Hearing Concubine Zhuang begging him to get better so weakly at this moment, the Emperor seemed to be hit by something in his heart.Then I heard someone from outside reporting, "The imperial doctor has arrived." Concubine Zhuang wiped her tears with the emperor's palm, not seeing the weakness just now, and said solemnly, "Let them in."

Three or five imperial doctors took turns to check the emperor's pulse with the medicine boys on their backs. Finally, the head of the imperial hospital said, "Your Majesty is out of breath, and the evil fire in his heart cannot be released for a while, so he suddenly has a headache and faints. If you stimulate the acupoints with silver needles, His Majesty will wake up within a quarter of an hour, but you need to take good care of yourself afterwards."

The imperial doctor's medical skills were really superb. They said it was within a quarter of an hour, but in fact the emperor opened his eyes within 2 minutes after the silver needle was inserted into the skin.Concubine Zhuang was instructing the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine carefully, which made the emperor feel emotional. In the past, every time he fell ill, when he woke up, there would be Concubine Zhen sitting beside the bed with a sad face. Occasionally there were tears.At that time, she felt that Concubine Zhen's heart was attached to him, and felt that all the concubines in the harem were childhood sweethearts with Concubine Zhen, and had a deep relationship with him, so she only favored Concubine Zhen for so many years.Now it seems that Concubine Zhuang is obviously impatient, but she will not use this to invite favors like Concubine Zhen Gui. Even when facing him, Concubine Zhuang calmly said that his illness is not serious, and he will recover within a few days .

This woman hides her weak side, and when she is with him, she just wants to be an armor and protect him.The emperor used to be young and felt that he could withstand all the pressure and didn't need a woman's protection.However, the prince's suspected treasonous behavior made the emperor's fragility reach its peak. Facing such a Zhuang concubine, the emperor could not help but be moved.

How much the relationship between Concubine Zhuang and the emperor has improved during the emperor's recuperation process is beyond what Yun Ling, who is still in the fifth prince's mansion, can know, and it has no effect on her life.What really affected Yunling's daily life was that the emperor finally issued that imperial decree on the first day after the dizziness and tinnitus were relieved and the resumption of the Grand Court Assembly.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have served lightly and paid lightly, worked diligently and loved the people, and dared not slack off at all. The crown prince was born in the Yuan Dynasty, and the land was only the eldest son. I asked the famous teachers to train "Poems" and "Books" and teach "Rituals" , "Le", I hope that he will inherit his ancestral business and renew his virtues every day. Who knows that in recent years, the prince has violated the ancestral virtues and disobeyed my training, but is vicious and violent, and it is difficult to say anything. Therefore, he forbears and looks to this day. However, he is extravagant and arrogant by nature. For more than thirty years, hundreds of people have been executed in the East Palace. With this unfaithful, filial, and unkind person as the king, what is his ancestral inheritance? Now he is abolished as the crown prince, and temporarily moved to Jingyang Palace, and no one is allowed to visit."

It's not that the ministers haven't felt the undercurrent between the father and son these days, but no one thought that the emperor would depose the prince so easily.The third prince bowed his head and knelt quietly in the crowd. What's more, the emperor's entire imperial edict did not mention the prince's suspected personal relationship with the general. Wronged the prince's reputation?

No matter what the ministers thought, Shi Shiran retreated after the emperor let out a big thunder.Prince, no, the second prince was standing beside the prince's seat in a daze, and a young eunuch had already stepped forward tremblingly, "Your Highness, let's go first."

I'm afraid that once I go back, I won't be able to come out in the future.The second prince looked gloomy, glanced at the brothers under the steps, then glanced at the general, and followed the little eunuch.

At the fifth prince's residence, Yunling could have allowed Pan Youren to go out to buy some gadgets from time to time, but as long as it wasn't too much, the nuns who were inspecting at the main courtyard would turn a blind eye.As a result, recently, Yang Peishan issued an order that no one in the mansion should take any items with them outside the mansion, and all correspondence between the concubine and her mother's family was stopped. If the servants who did not follow the mansion's regulations and secretly helped the young master carry information, once they were verified, Immediately rode to death.

Not only did the fifth prince not show any dissatisfaction with such a severe condition, but he also unequivocally supported the fifth prince when Concubine Cui came to him and cried.No matter how ignorant of the outside affairs, no matter how low the political sensitivity is, Yunling can guess that something big has happened.

Yang Peishan's prestige in the mansion is still very high, and within five days after the new order was issued, the mansion was ruled like an iron bucket by her.Yunling didn't have the newly published travel notes that she smuggled in from outside, so she could only visit the main courtyard when Yang Peishan was not busy, and only then did she know that the crown prince was deposed...
