Chapter 504 Here Comes
Although the Mei family was indeed related by blood with the queen mother, they were far away from each other long ago, and the queen mother had never contacted her.Why did they plan to punish the empress mother and the emperor's brother?
It would be great if Sister Yongmu was still here... Thinking of this, Yongning became even more depressed.

She is pure in nature and does not know the truth about Yongmu's disappearance. It is not surprising that she has such thoughts in times of crisis.

The matter of Yongmu being taken over by Mei Cenniang, the emperor never publicized it, and only those few people knew about it.

This strange matter also involves the forbidden art of Taoism, if it is really spread, the palace, court or Taoism will not be safe, and it will definitely make a commotion throughout the whole week.

Even Chen Nie, the commander of the Wu De Department who is in charge of finding Yongmu now, just thinks that the emperor somehow has a problem with Princess Yongmu and wants to send someone to find her, and then the princess disappeared inexplicably.

Yongning didn't know the truth, secretly sad and worried.

Seeing this, the female official didn't say anything more, but told her: "The sage still has an order. Recently, there are many internal and external affairs in Yingdu, and the princess has to choose a husband. It's better to stay in the mansion with peace of mind..."

Before she finished her words, Yongning already understood the meaning, she reluctantly raised a smile to send the female officer sent by the emperor away, and then sat down slumped.

The changes in the royal family are not about the empress, the prince, or Yongning.

The so-called one falls and the other rises, as the direct line is left out in the cold, those next to it are gradually showing their heads.

The emperor's heirs are not small, and the empress alone gave birth to three legitimate sons, but the world is unpredictable, and the only prince left now is also very disappointing.

King Duan, who has always been valued by the emperor, has been imprisoned, and he really can't find anything that can be done right now.

But the emperor boasted that he was at the peak of his age, and those who were not born enough could be made up for, and those who were still young could be brought up slowly, and among the few remaining sons, one could always be selected to be a ruler.

Therefore, Zhang Jieyu, who came from a humble background and had always been a transparent person in the palace, was promoted to Zhang Zhaoyi by decree to assist the concubine De in handling the affairs of the harem.

You must know that according to her background, the title of Jieyu was reluctantly raised because the five princes came of age and bestowed upon the mansion a few years ago.

Now, in just a few months, she has the right to intervene in the affairs of the harem, not to mention being the ninth concubine!

Before everyone had time to digest the wonder in their hearts, the other two decrees of the emperor shocked the palace again.

The six princes, who lost their mother when they were young and their mother's family was convicted of a crime, were not caring. They were recorded under the name of Concubine De and raised by her.An Shuyi, whose youngest son was only seven or eight years old, was directly promoted to Concubine Shu, one of the four wives.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion among the people in the palace and court.

Xiao Lingjiang returned the paper to Pei You, and sneered: "It seems that the emperor has other plans."

The fifth prince was an adult, but because of his mother's humble background, he never had a strong sense of existence in the royal family; the sixth prince lost his mother when he was young, and is only thirteen or fourteen years old now; the seventh prince is still a seven-year-old child.

In the past, with the crown prince as the crown prince and the prince Duan as the elder brother with outstanding abilities and means, these princes had little chance to show themselves in front of others.

Now the emperor's move has lifted them all up.

Although it has been found out that Mei's incident has nothing to do with the queen and the prince, the emperor has other thoughts in his mind.

Right now, he is still in good health, and the rest of them may be successful if they are trained well.

"This is not a good thing for the queen and the prince. Since ancient times, if the crown prince is deposed..." Pei You looked at her, and did not finish the rest of the sentence.

Although she didn't care about it, the relationship between the Queen and the Prince and her was extraordinary.

"That's right..." Xiao Lingjiang sighed, "Since ancient times, the princes who have been deposed are mostly hard to die, and the best thing is to end up in confinement."

From the perspective of the prince, the prince is really incompetent.Greed, cowardice, incompetence, and stupidity are used time and time again by others.

But looking at it from another angle, he is not without advantages.Don't be arbitrary, don't act exclusively, and if you can listen to the words of the ministers who assist the government in the future, you can barely be a successful king.

The emperor did not abolish him before, and it seemed that he still had expectations of him.But in the final analysis, it was just what the prince did at that time, which did not affect the stability of his throne.Although stupid, it also reassures him.

But what happened to Yongmu and the Mei family made the emperor more suspicious.Although it was not found that the empress and the crown prince were involved in this matter, their blood connection with the Mei family made it difficult for them to get rid of it.

The emperor was afraid that he was hiding his thoughts, and he was also afraid that he would be used like this in the future.After thinking about it, it is finally time to take action.

"How should I put it..." Xiao Lingjiang frowned and sighed, "The prince's position as the crown prince, right now, there is no need to worry about being abolished. But if it can be kept in the long run, it will be dangerous..."

"Although the prince did some stupid things before, since the emperor didn't pursue it to the end before, it is inappropriate to use it as an excuse to waste the reserve. What's more, it is impossible for the emperor to tell the ministers that he is due to the Mei family. It is necessary to depose the crown prince. With the Li family standing by, the emperor will not do it rashly if the name and words of the abolition of the crown prince are not correct at this time."

"But I'm almost sure..." Xiao Lingjiang said with deep eyes, "If the crown prince dares to do another stupid thing, he will definitely lose his position as the crown prince."

It is not necessary for the crown prince to be re-established immediately. It is common sense to abolish the crown prince first, leave the position of crown prince vacant and then choose from among the princes.

Although the few princes are just showing signs of growth, it will take a long time for them to become full-fledged under the emperor's intentional cultivation.But as long as the emperor can hold on, there's nothing wrong with it.

"What are you going to do?" Pei You asked.

Xiao Lingjiang helplessly spread his hands and said: "I'm really not going to intervene. In my opinion, the way of governing the country should be for those who are capable and for those who are mediocre. If you have no talent and don't cherish it, it's not a pity to give up your position to others."

"Ah, the most I can do is try my best to save his life without breaking the rules..."

Pei You shook her hand, Ah Heng's openness and openness to this point really amazed him.

Putting aside the treacherous Yunbo in the inner court for the time being, what Xiao Lingjiang has to do now is to take advantage of Xuanheng's opportunity to clean up Yingdu again, and thoroughly find out those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the shrine.

There was no news of the immediate Lord of the Shrine, and there was no trace of the missing Princess Yongmu. After the uproar, others gradually lost interest in paying attention, and there were only Buyuansi, Zhuxuanmen and Wudesi. Just continuing to investigate.

It seems that Yingdu has regained its former tranquility on the surface.

However, Ying is not going to be quiet forever.

In April, a lively event caused the whole Ying to boil again—the envoys from Xifan are here!
