Xiao Gui Rui Sui

Sure enough, the imperial decree came.The preface first praises Situ Li's recent achievements, and then recognizes his ability, and orders him to take the post of commander in chief temporarily.Then there is some praise for Fan Zhiyuan's hard work, let him return to Beijing to recuperate, and reward him with gold and silver.

The person who came to read out the imperial decree was Xiao Gui, the proud disciple of Duke Qi who served in front of Emperor Qing, and he sent him here this time out of a tempered heart.After reading the imperial decree, Eunuch Xiaogui prepared to have Fan Zhiyuan carried into the carriage so that he could be escorted back to Beijing.

But how could Situ Li let him go just like that, this person caused Xiao to leave him, he couldn't swallow this tone no matter what!God knows, I haven't seen that person for a few days, and I'm going crazy thinking about it?And that culprit, Situ Qi!He will not let go of any of these people!

After handing over the things prepared in advance to Eunuch Xiaogui, Situ Li carefully told him to hand over the things to Emperor Qing, then gave him some silver notes, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xiaogui traveled a long distance, it was very hard! This king should have entertained me well, but the border conditions are limited, so I neglected my father-in-law. Taking the money back and having a good meal is my compensation for my endless friendship as a landlord. In addition, General Fan has troubled my father-in-law a lot..."

"Slave is terrified! This is the duty of a slave, the prince doesn't have to do this." Xiao Guizi quickly refused, but thought in his heart that this prince is quite a man.Situ Li insisted that it would cost a lot to take care of General Fan along the way, which can be regarded as a kindness to the general.Seeing that she couldn't shirk, Xiao Guizi accepted it with a smile.Afterwards, I took it out and looked at it, and sighed secretly that the king of Anyi was so generous, he actually gave him a full 500 taels, and the salary he had saved for several years was not that much!Thinking of Situ Li's gentle attitude towards him, neither flattering nor belittling, he thought it would be a good thing to befriend this prince who holds military power, not to mention that this person is not as rumored in the palace, and the joy in his heart is even greater. Complete the matter that Situ Li explained.

When Emperor Qing saw what was presented, Long Yan was furious.

"How unreasonable! You bastard!" Emperor Qing waved his hand angrily and smashed the teacup to the ground, "Xiao Qizi, go and find out for me!" After shouting loudly, Emperor Qing held the paper in his hand with a gloomy face.

Situ Li asked Xiao Guizi to hand over these few pieces of paper to Emperor Qing, but just a few pieces of paper were enough to make the current crown prince's status unsafe.What was written in black and white on it was the evidence of how Situ Qi forced Fan Zhiyuan to murder him!After Lin Xiao found out the pawn that Situ Qi buried, he let Lin Xiao steal the letter between the two, and made a fake one and put it back.

As for why Situ Qi forced Fan Zhiyuan to murder him, Situ Li took it into account when he made the arrangement earlier. Emperor Qing didn't like him. If it was said that the two of them murdered him together, Emperor Qing would probably not believe it, especially since Fan Zhiyuan was still a member of Emperor Qing. .Maybe he will think that he is narrow-minded and framed the prince out of nothing because of jealousy.But if it is said that the crown prince forced Fan Zhiyuan to murder him, that is conclusive evidence!

Situ Li's additional letter to Emperor Qing explained what had happened in an extremely sad and unbelievable tone.The prince used the concubine's niece to design the son of the Fan family, and used it to blackmail Fan Zhiyuan to serve him. Fan Zhiyuan, who was upright, couldn't join forces with the prince, but he couldn't ignore his son's life, so he pretended to agree to the prince.But who knew that the prince knew that he had a good relationship with Situ Yi, King Qirui, and was afraid that he would support King Jingxiang, whom Situ Yi supported. In order to cut off the enemy's wings, the prince wanted Fan Zhiyuan to get rid of himself!Of course Fan Zhiyuan was unwilling, but he was also afraid that the crown prince would reveal his son's affairs, and that when Concubine De got into trouble, he would have to take his son's life.After thinking for a long time, I finally told him what happened, hoping that he would play a play with himself for the prince to watch.So there was his subsequent poisoning incident.But because it was acting, he was still alive and well.But somehow the prince learned the truth, so furious that he sent someone to murder Fan Zhiyuan!

Fan Zhiyuan was seriously poisoned, and if he did not receive treatment, he would undoubtedly die, but if he survived, he would be paralyzed and forced to stay in bed in the future.Originally, with Fan Zhiyuan's temperament, he would be as useless as a couch all his life, so it would be better to die directly.But in order to testify against the prince and prevent Tianqi Jiangshan from falling into the hands of such unfaithful, unjust and unfilial people, Fan Zhiyuan would rather drag his crippled body and save his life to go back to see Emperor Qing!

He had great admiration for Fan Zhiyuan's actions, and said many good things about Fan Zhiyuan, but the conversation turned to the prince, and said very sadly, the enemy army is at the front, and Fan Zhiyuan, as the commander of an army, has a heavy responsibility!If the prince does this, isn't he afraid of disturbing the morale of the army?This made him very confused, and what was even more unclear was that, as the crown prince, Situ Qi would belong to him in the future, so why did he still treat him like that?His childhood wish was to gallop on the battlefield and defend his family and country. No matter who took that position, he just had to guard the frontier.As for whether Zhi supported Situ Rui or not, he didn't explain much, he just said that King Jingxiang's character and talent were all admired by him, but this had nothing to do with whether Zhi supported Situ Rui, he just admired Situ Rui, but he There is only one person to be loyal to - the emperor!

All these words hit Emperor Qing's acupoints!When Emperor Qing was furious, he also revealed other news.Knowing that Emperor Qing prefers Situ Rui, he declares that he is not interested in the throne and at the same time expresses that he appreciates Situ Rui. Even if Emperor Qing does not believe that he has no interest in the throne, he knows that he appreciates the person he likes very much. Will also be a little happy.It would be even better if Emperor Qing believed it!If the person he will be loyal to in the future is the person he likes, then Emperor Qing will use these evidences to completely abolish the crown prince!

No matter what, his goal has been achieved anyway, Situ Qi is destined to have a hard time!In addition to a few pieces of paper, he also arrested Fan Zhiyuan's confidant and the boy who was lurking beside Situ Yi, and had them secretly escorted back to Beijing.When the two confront each other, Situ Qi will definitely die!

Situ Li's move was not to be feared or ruthless, Situ Qi asked Fan Zhiyuan to be loyal to him, which was a big taboo of Emperor Qing, but he still ignored the enemy's presence and murdered the commander in chief!If this matter gets out and chills people's hearts, then... regardless of brotherhood, murdering a brother is still a trivial matter, but he blocked the way of his favorite son!With all these things, it would be difficult for Emperor Qing to get rid of Situ Qi.

Today's prince, who doesn't know it yet, is still lying in the gentle village, hugging left and right, but he doesn't know that stealing chickens will not cost you a lot of rice, and catastrophe is about to happen.

Undoubtedly, Emperor Qing was a man with a strong sense of power. Even if he had a heir he wanted, he would not be able to let go of the power so early. Besides, Emperor Qing was in his prime, when he was at the height of his power?He originally wanted to let the Situ Qi brothers to hone for a few more years. After Situ Rui really grew up, he secretly paved the way for him, and then slowly handed over the power to him. When the time is right, he will go down the road The imperial decree justified the passing of the throne to him.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes.He knew that Situ Qi and the brothers had conflicts among themselves, but he never expected that such a situation would happen, which touched his bottom line deeply.

Power is the most corrupting thing.Situ Qi's unscrupulous methods are as good as Emperor Qing's inviolable emperor's majesty.Imperial power is inviolable!Even if you still think about the relationship between father and son, it will not be easy.

So at the court meeting the next day, in front of the summoned princes, civil and military officials, etc., Emperor Qing gave a cold shout and ordered Situ Qi, who was confused, to kneel in front of the hall, and then read out the words of the abolitionist with a heavy face. The oracle of the prince.

"I inherited Taizu, Taizong, Shengzu, Gaozu, and Mingzu for 35 years. I have worked hard, sympathized with ministers and workers, benefited the people, and set an example for the world. Today's prince Situ Qi violated the ancestors' virtues and did not follow my training. Violent and promiscuous, extravagant and lustful, I have tolerated it for 20 years. It is the evil that grows stronger, ignoring my earnest teachings, killing and humiliating the daughters of court officials, arbitrarily arbitrarily authoritative, gathering party members, and killing court officials! Killing brothers and feet! If you are disloyal in this way An unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person is a king. Where can he buy his ancestral property? Taizu, Taizong, Shengzu, Gaozu, Mingzu who created a world of hard work and peace with me, we must not pay this person! I am the Son of Heaven, and I should maintain law and order The world is for the sake of order. Now abolish his position as the crown prince and tell the world..."

As soon as the imperial decree came out, all the officials below immediately exploded.The faces of the people can be described as colorful, especially the deposed prince group. Some have gray faces, some have red faces, and some have blue faces... No matter what the expressions are, the matter of the deposed prince has been settled.Everyone still doesn't quite know why Emperor Qing abolished the crown prince, but from those charges, the focus is on persecuting courtiers and mutilating siblings.Other than these two, it's really hard to say, not to mention the prince, even some powerful dandies would do those things.Violence and promiscuity, extravagance, killing and humiliating court officials' daughters, monopolizing authority, gathering party members, everyone is talking about it in private, but it's all on the table. It's clear that Emperor Qing is already dissatisfied with the crown prince. pole!

Situ Qi still doesn't understand what happened.Looking blankly at the people whispering in the court hall, his face was very ugly.

Why do you want to abolish his crown prince?Why do you want to abolish him!Situ Qi, who came back to his senses, immediately shouted out his grievances, "My son is wronged! Please enlighten my father! There must be a villain fabricating facts to persecute my son! My son is innocent! My father's enlightenment!"

"Innocence? Mingjian? Situ Qi, you know what you have done yourself! I won't say much about the rest, but the enemy is in front of you, and you are disregarding the overall situation for your own selfishness! You are threatening to persecute our army even if you can't do it! Commander! Where do you put all the soldiers? The border is bitter and cold, and our soldiers throw their heads and blood just to protect our great rivers and mountains and the well-being of our people. Without them, how can you Situ Qi sit on the throne? But you Look, what have you done? How can you be worthy of your ancestors like this?! How can you be worthy of the people of the world?! In vain, I still have high hopes for you! Is this how you repay me?" Emperor Qing became more and more excited, Throwing a stack of papers in his face.

Situ Qi grabbed a piece of paper and looked at it, his face paled instantly.Why is the correspondence between him and Fan Zhiyuan in the hands of Emperor Qing?Grab another one, it is the confession of the pawn he arranged!And this... is how he framed the son of the Fan family!Looking at others, those who accepted bribes, those who colluded with ministers, those who designed Shu Qin'er...

Bit by bit, he actually recorded all his crimes!

His heart was bone-chillingly cold, his hands trembled, and the paper in his hands fell to the floor.Situ Qi's face was dead pale, his eyes full of panic.

His father must destroy himself, if he continues to quibble, he may make his father even more displeased... Clenching his fists, Situ Qi gritted his teeth, and changed from panic when the incident was revealed to a face full of remorse, "... son I know I was wrong! My son should not listen to slander! I should not be deceived by a false minister and make such a big mistake! My son is ashamed of my ancestors and the people of the world..."

Emperor Qing's accusation against Situ Qi just now caused an uproar among the crowd.The border war is tense, and after several years of fighting, it has finally improved. Now that the prince has made such a move, if... Situ Qi is the sinner of Tianqi!

Situ Qi knelt on the ground with his head bowed in regret, but his lowered eyes were full of resentment.What went wrong?He obviously planned everything, why... wait!Threatening to persecute our army commander?When did he persecute Fan Zhiyuan?Obviously it was Fan Zhiyuan who surrendered to him!

There is a problem here!Situ Qi's thoughts changed sharply, so he would not be afraid that there would be no firewood to keep the green hills!Saving lives is the most important thing now!So continue to reflect and repent in order to win room for turning around.

Situ Qi sent a group of people to act according to the wind, and immediately agreed with him cleverly. He said that Situ Qi made such a mistake because he listened to the villain's slander, and asked Emperor Qing to punish him lightly.Some of the other ministers criticized righteously and demanded that Emperor Qing must be severely punished, some even made things worse, and some stood by and did not get involved.

Everyone was talking about different opinions, Emperor Qing kept his face dark and weighed it over and over again, and finally ordered Situ Qi to be imprisoned in Wencheng Hall.Although the crown prince is abolished, he still needs to clean up the remaining forces in Situ Qi's hands one by one!

The abolition of the prince has come to an end.When the queen heard about this, she was so frightened that she lost all blood and almost fainted.He hurriedly ran to see Emperor Qing to ask for mercy, but he didn't even see Emperor Qing's face.Those ministers who were originally attached to the abolished prince were even more anxious all day long, fearing that they would be involved in the abolition of the prince, and wished to draw a clear line immediately.

Situ Qi's group of men and horses clamped their tails and acted like a man, which actually fueled the arrogance of the forces belonging to Situ Tan, the king of Xinling.Many people like to beat the dog in the water, and the reason why Emperor Qing didn't demote Situ Qi to a commoner and expelled him from the palace was also because of this.It is better to let others do it than to do it himself, and he only needs to say a word at the right time.

The wall fell and everyone pushed, and under the siege of all walks of life, the power of the deposed prince really collapsed.In this matter, the happiest thing is the faction of King Xinling. Concubine De told Situ Tan not to behave too much, so as not to offend Emperor Qing, but Situ Tan has always been conceited, and he was stepped on by Situ Qi because of his arrogance. After being domineering for so many years, how could Situ Qi not be gloating now that Situ Qi has fallen to such an extent?I went to have fun that night, and called my confidants and others to celebrate.
