Eunuch Emperor Wu, sweeping the floor in the cold palace for 100 years

Chapter 38 The minister can testify that the prince did not drink alcohol

"Your Majesty, I oppose the decision to abolish the crown prince."

Suddenly, an old man with a purple face walked out from the ranks of officials, speaking sonorously.

This person is Kang Xiling, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and is the third grade.

Since Xu Wenyu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is very old, once he becomes an official, Kang Xiling will be the next Minister of Rites.

"Kang Aiqing, why do you object? Do you think it's right for the prince to drink alcohol during Lent?"

Qi Huang asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, at the ceremony of worshiping heaven that day, I can testify that the prince did not drink alcohol during the fasting period."

The purple-faced old man raised his neck high and spoke righteously.

"I can also testify that the prince did not drink alcohol during Lent."

Another minister came out.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, and then more and more people in the middle.

"I can also testify that the prince did not drink alcohol during Lent."

"I can also testify that the prince did not drink alcohol during Lent."

"I can also testify that the prince did not drink alcohol during Lent."

Some of them didn't react, including some nobles of the royal family, who were a little dumbfounded.

Although many of them did not show up at the ceremony, they also knew about Prince Li Heng drinking during Lent.

Unexpectedly, these ministers directly vetoed Qi Huang's words. This was simply slapping the emperor in the face.

None of us saw the prince drinking, as all can testify.

Emperor, what you say doesn't count.

That's why we didn't pay attention to you, Emperor Qi.

This is no longer an objection, but a complete tearing of the face, to fundamentally obliterate Qi Huang's authority.

Qi Huang watched this scene calmly, as if not surprised.

Because the enemy uses this trick, it seems like a rogue, but it is extremely effective.

When one party grasps the general trend of the fishing boat, black can also be said to be white.

But now it is precisely the forces behind these ministers who control the world's fishing boats. If those ordinary people are slightly fooled, they will believe that the Qi emperor is fatuous, framed and abolished the wise prince, and pushed an ignorant ten-year-old boy into the prince's position?
Put yourself in his shoes and think about it, if it were him, he would do the same.

Standing next to Emperor Qi, Li Jing, the letter king, stared dumbfounded at the despicable words of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

He felt that his three views were about to be subverted.

Prince Li Heng Mingming drank alcohol during Lent.

Even at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Li Heng admitted it himself.

There were so many ministers of civil and military affairs, relatives of the emperor, nobles, even concubines in the harem, princes and grandchildren, and folk elders were all present, and they could all hear clearly.

This is an undoubted fact.

Are these civil and military ministers deaf, blind, or dark-hearted?
Why is it so indiscriminate between black and white, right and wrong?

"These people are really hateful."

Li Jing clenched his hands into fists, and his nails almost pierced into his palms.

First he despised his father, and now he blatantly denies the fact that Prince Li Heng violated the fasting law by drinking during the fasting period.

It turns out that people can be shameless to this extent.

"That's right, how could my crown prince drink alcohol during the Lent period? He is open to the world, fair and at ease, who is right and who is wrong, now it is very clear, Li Qian, you are really stupid, and the tiger's poison does not eat children. With your own selfish desires, you actually want to destroy your own son, are you still a human being?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came out, followed by Queen Pei Rumeng, surrounded by many court ladies and eunuchs, and walked out.

There was coldness and viciousness in her eyes, and a kind of arrogance on her delicate face.

Because she has the upper hand.

Didn't you see so many ministers of civil and military affairs, relatives of the emperor, relatives, honorable princes, all standing on the prince's side?
"The prince obviously drank wine during Lent, you are the ones who are confusing black and white."

Xin Wang Li Jing was trembling with anger, and couldn't help glaring.

"Little Ba, you are so naive. In this world, only strength can grasp the truth."

Prince Li Heng glanced at Xin Wang Li Jing, and then landed on Qi Huang, "Father, this should be the last time I call you that, although I don't know why you can't tolerate me so much, but what I want to say , you have failed, if you abdicate the throne to me now, I am still willing to give you a decent old age."

Qi Huang didn't go to see the queen and the prince at all, but looked at the letter king Li Jing with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Jing'er, always remember what happened today."

"Yes, Father."

Li Jing nodded vigorously, his eyes became extremely firm.

He just realized today that the human heart can be so terrifying.

"Proclamation."

Qi Huang said again.

Immediately, Cao Huaiying, who was standing on the other side, took two imperial decrees, walked to the center of the hall, opened one and read it out.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor ordered that the crown prince Li Heng, who is the only eldest son, is in the Ming Dynasty, but he is perverted and unrighteous, and alienates the sages. Since he has been born for a long time, he is worried about being dethroned, forming a party and accepting evil and disobeying my orders. In the past, drinking alcohol to break the law of fasting was not only frightening to the eyes and ears, but also hurt and defeated by the ceremony. How can we keep the utensils and compile the system, and bear the weight of the nine tripods?

In the hall, only Cao Huaiying's shrill voice proclaiming the decree.

Shi Wenen and other courtiers loyal to Emperor Qi all knelt down and listened to the imperial decree.

Many people watched with cold eyes.

Because this decree, to them, is a blank sheet of paper, useless.

Empress Pei Rumeng sneered again and again, the overall situation has been settled, but this Emperor Qi is still going his own way, which is simply unreasonable.

Prince Li Heng didn't think so either.

Even if you are the emperor, when you lose your authority, everyone will treat you as fart, and the so-called imperial decree will have no legal effect.

There was only one person, but he showed a hint of contemplation.

It was Ming Wang Li Sheng.

He felt that the current Emperor Qi was abnormal, definitely not a crazy act of losing his mind.

It seems that the outcome of this grand court meeting is uncertain.

After reading the edict of the abolished prince, Cao Huaiying took out a second imperial edict.

This part is naturally the imperial decree to enshrine Wang Lijing as the crown prince.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's edict said, Li Jing, the king of faith, is a virtuous heir of the clan, and belongs to God's will. I hereby abide by the first edict, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. The crown prince is in the East Palace, with the ten thousand years of rule, and the heart of the world. I have been suffering from illness for a long time, and I can't stay away for a long time, so I order the crown prince Li Jing to hold the seal, divide the affairs of the common people, and support the army Supervising the country. All the things played by the hundred divisions are decided by the crown prince, and now they are announced to the world, and the salty envoys will know."

Cao Huaiying continued to read the imperial decree.

This time not only canonized the letter king Li Jing and the crown prince, but also granted the crown prince Li Jing the power to manage the government, govern the army and supervise the country.

This is almost the power of the emperor.

Many ministers of civil and military affairs in the audience, the royal relatives and nobles still did not respond.

They all watched all this with cold eyes.

"Qihuang, my three families and four sects do not approve of your two imperial decrees."

At this moment, an indifferent voice came from a distance outside the Golden Luan Hall.

Although the voice is not high, it seems to be just speaking normally.

But when it reached the main hall, the voice did not weaken, and everyone could hear it clearly, as if it was spoken in the ear.

The faces of everyone in the audience changed.

People from three families and four factions.

It finally appeared.
