Chapter 236;
Wen Songtao, who was standing in front of Wen Chen, couldn't help but applaud Hong Wendi's move.

The reason why the officials of these aristocratic families protect Gao Yanming is that they are worried that the position of left minister will fall to someone outside the aristocratic family.

Now that Emperor Hongwen made this move, he not only cleaned up Gao Yanming, but also held down the whole family.

It seems that His Majesty has also discovered that something is wrong with today's matter. The Dong family did not get involved, and it seems that there are some things that they don't know about within the family.

That being the case, knocking down Gao Yanming and promoting the Dong family is a very clever move.

Not only because of the bad breath in the court, but also because of the position of Zuo Xiang, there were some conflicts between the Dong family and the Han family.

You must know that in the past one or two years, the power of the Han family has been expanding because of the existence of Gao Yanming. There is a faint intention to suppress the Dong family and replace him as the leader of the family.

Now that Gao Yanming has collapsed, and the position of Zuoxiang falls to the Dong family, what will the Han family think?
Wen Songtao was happy, and Emperor Hongwen above spoke again.

"The decree is issued to seal the eldest prince Xiao Yi as King Ning, and he will leave the palace to open the mansion immediately."

If this decree falls, it is even more shocking than the removal of Gao Yanming from the post of Zuo Chancellor and Dong Qingyang's temporary replacement.

Especially when Lord Zhen Guo heard this decree, he was completely dumbfounded.

He really wanted the eldest prince to be canonized as the crown prince. How much thought did he put in for the position of crown prince?
Today, in order to stand up and make a statement, does he really want to cooperate with the family?

In fact, it is not the case, he just saw the fact that the aristocratic family is putting pressure on him, and His Majesty is helpless, and he wants to use the sword to take the lead and give His Majesty an illusion.

An illusion that he might fall to the aristocratic family, so that His Majesty put the eldest prince on the throne in order to restrain him.

Because as long as the eldest prince takes the position, not only can he be firm in his attitude, but he can also target the aristocratic family because he wants to pave the way for the eldest prince.

He thought very well, and felt that based on his understanding of His Majesty, he would definitely take this step.

But all of this is what he thought.

However, some subtle changes in the court today and Emperor Hongwen's anger today were ignored.

He stood up not only did not achieve his goal, but gave Emperor Hongwen some illusions.

The aristocratic family's performance today was too confident, and they dared to openly exert pressure on such an important matter. This made Emperor Hongwen have to wonder if there was something wrong that he didn't know about.

It made the family so bold, and at this time Duke Zhen stepped forward, wouldn't that just be the right seat?
"His Majesty."

Duke Zhen regretted it very much at this time and wanted to explain, but Emperor Hongwen refused to give him this opportunity at all.

He just glanced at him coldly, retreated with a cry, and strode away directly.

Soon, the imperial decree spread to the harem.

Hearing that he was suddenly crowned king instead of the prince, the eldest prince was completely dumbfounded.

He grabbed the imperial decree and opened it to check.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

"Why is that?"

In his cognition, the crown prince is his, and it will always be his.

Not only he thinks this way, but the people around him have always said this way since he was a child. Over time, even if he has not been granted the title, he has already called himself a prince.

Now a sudden will, without warning, caught him off guard.

At the same time, the king and queen of Fengqi Palace also got the news, and they were equally astonished.

"Nonsense, someone here will drag this nonsense dog out for this palace and stick it to death."

She didn't believe it either, very much.

His Majesty is going to be canonized as the first prince, but she had no news before, and she hadn't heard of it at all.

This king is not a trivial matter, how could it be possible to make an order so suddenly without leaking any news?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant is not talking nonsense. Your Majesty's imperial edict has already been delivered."

"The servants came here after hearing the imperial decree, and there is absolutely no nonsense."

Even though the maid was crying and begging, the queen didn't believe it at all.

"Don't you hurry up and drag this dog slave out for this palace?"

"Ma'am, please forgive me"

The servant girl who reported the message was terrified. She never dreamed that her death would come so suddenly.

Soon there was a scream outside Fengqi Palace, after a few times, a life ended like this.

"Madam, calm down."

The female officer in charge beside Queen Wang comforted softly.

"My maidservant, go and inquire again. Regardless of whether the empress is real or not, don't mess around at this time, so as not to make some people in the harem laugh at you."

Hearing this, Queen Wang was still furious. In fact, she had already confirmed the truth of this matter in her heart, but she just didn't want to believe it. To put it bluntly, it was just to vent her anger.

"You go ahead and ask Bengong clearly about today's events."

The female officer in charge quickly responded, and after helping the queen to sit down, she asked the people below to prepare tea.

She just went out to inquire about the news herself.

About half an hour later, the female officer in charge returned to Fengqi Palace and reported all the news she had inquired about.

After listening, Queen Wang grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it out heavily.

She never dreamed that the person who caused this situation was actually her most trusted brother.

"What on earth is he thinking? Knowing that His Majesty doesn't want to see the family, he still openly stood up to speak for the family."

Queen Wang was so angry.

Although the two brothers and sisters didn't see each other very often, they kept in touch very frequently.

All along, there have been two consensuses. The first is naturally to support the eldest prince to ascend to the position of crown prince.

The second is to be determined not to associate with the aristocratic family, and even to target the aristocratic family when necessary.

Because they are very clear about Emperor Hongwen's attitude towards the family, and at the same time, if the eldest prince becomes the crown prince, he will face threats from the family in the future. Therefore, targeting the family will not only gain Emperor Hongwen's favor, but also clear obstacles for the eldest prince in advance.

But she couldn't think of why her brother would be uncharacteristically today and violate the consensus of the two of them for a long time?

"Master Zhen Guo, I am in a hurry this time."

As soon as the female officer in charge spoke, Queen Wang frowned, and then nodded repeatedly.

Really anxious.

"Your Majesty, the matter has become a foregone conclusion. No matter how much you think about it, you can't change it. This servant feels that this matter is not that bad."

"Ok?"

If it were another palace official who said this, Queen Wang would definitely be furious. Think about the maid who reported the letter just now, if she just told the truth, she lost her life.

However, the female officer next to her who spoke at this time was a maid who grew up with her, and she had done a lot of things for her in the palace these years.

Proper confidant.
