Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 382; Deposed

Incidents were revealed one after another, shocking both the government and the public.

Even the streets and alleys of the capital were talking about it.

Everyone attacked the prince.

"How can such a person be worthy of being a crown prince?"

For a time, people in the capital were excited, especially those whose children were missing. They gathered together in front of the Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and avenge their grievances.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu looked at the memorials and account books on the desk with a gloomy face, as well as the results of the secret guard's investigation.

He really didn't expect that his prince, his son, would secretly do so many outrageous things, which were as bad as a pig or a dog.

It's really a joke that the prince of a country has no bottom line for money.

How does this make the world view his royal family, the Xiao family?

How can those nobles mock their royal family?
"Gao Fu, prepare a decree"

In the East Palace, the prince originally thought that everything would be fine after he wrote a letter of repentance, but he did not expect that the matter would be bigger and more troublesome.

Now even what happened in the suburbs of Beijing was exposed, and he sat in despair on the ground of the East Palace.

He knows that he is finished with you, and this time he is really completely finished.

Not only could he not keep his position as the prince, but he could also lose his royal status.

"Hahaha, idiot, this prince is simply an idiot. He is finished. He is completely finished."

After King Qi learned the news from outside, he was overjoyed and laughed wildly.

"This time, I don't believe that he can continue to turn the tide."

He failed to pull the prince down last time, and he had been depressed for several days when he came back. He never thought that things would turn around now. Not only did the prince's letter of repentance not achieve good results, but it also exposed more things.

And it is still such a serious matter. I am afraid that the conservatives who originally firmly supported not deposing the prince will not dare to say anything more this time.

His guess was indeed correct. Meng Xuancheng, Duke of Wei, was the number one conservative. When the prince was about to be deposed, he was the first to stand up and oppose it.

But now, listening to the news and rumors outside, Meng Xuancheng was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell is this?
The crown prince of a country actually did so many outrageous things, and he actually took the lead in something that was worse than a beast?

He has a great reputation throughout his life, but I am afraid that most of it will be destroyed this time.

No, after the news came out, Ning Guo Gong Cheng Yong, who had always been at odds with him, came to visit him very meanly and laughed at him for being blind.

But Meng Xuancheng was so angry that he almost breathed his last.

After driving Ning Guogong away, he turned directly back to his study and began to write a memorial. This time he took the initiative to request that the prince be deposed and punished severely, so as to give an explanation to the people of the world.

Just as frustrated and vomiting blood as he was, were the conservatives who had followed him.

Every one of them regretted it. How could such a bastard prince be qualified to continue to protect him?
This time, except for these people, everyone else was relatively calm and did not write in a hurry.

The nobles knew more or less some news, and they also understood that the man outside the city was determined to deal with the prince. Now that things have become like this, the prince must be deposed, but there is no need to take the initiative to come out and follow him when the time comes. Just echo it.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu were too lazy to continue to attack at this time. Anyway, the prince had no way to stand up.

As a result, a very interesting phenomenon has formed.

That is, the conservatives who were jumping the most to keep the prince became staunch supporters of calling for the crown prince's dethronement, while those factions of the kings of Qi and Chu who were supposed to be jumping fiercely were silent this time. Above the court, people led by Meng Xuancheng were spitting and accusing the prince of various crimes.

"You were the ones who jumped the most when I didn't let the prince be deposed. Now you are the ones who jump the most when I want the prince to be deposed."

"I said, Lao Mengtou, you are also a prince after all, why do you look like a clown?"

Ning Guogong really breathed a sigh of relief this time.

This Meng Xuancheng made him laugh a lot.

Faced with Ning Guogong's ridicule, Meng Xuancheng had nothing to say this time, and his old face was alternately green and red, filled with embarrassment and anger.

Seeing him like this, Duke Ji Huo Jingzhi also smiled.

Last time, this guy spoke unabashedly against his precious daughter. Although at that time, Meng Xuancheng came to him personally to apologize, saying that it was because he was so angry with Ning Guogong that he spoke indiscriminately.

But Duke Ji was still a little angry. Now that he saw that Meng Xuancheng was so deflated, the anger in his heart was gone.

"Okay, I already know."

Emperor Zhaowu, who was in charge, also looked very ugly today. To be precise, he had not had a good look since the revelations about the prince.

He even had people investigate in secret, and the real situation he got was even more shocking than what was reported outside.

At that time, he was so angry that he went to the East Palace with a whip and whipped the prince himself. This was when Queen Shen arrived, otherwise the prince might have been beaten to death by the furious Emperor Zhaowu.

It's really embarrassing. I think he claims to be a wise king and always says that the people are valued and the king is despised.

But his son, the prince of the Yu Dynasty, was oppressing the people and even buying and selling them.

This is just like pressing his head and hitting him in the face with the sole of a smelly shoe.

"Gaofu."

Gao Fu, who was standing next to him, understood something and took out an imperial edict and read it aloud in the court hall.

This is an edict to depose the prince. It not only deposes the prince's position, but also deprives the prince of the royal surname Xiao, demotes the prince to a commoner, and drives him out of the capital, leaving him to stay in the suburbs of the capital for the rest of his life. yard.

After all, it was his son. Although he was furious, Emperor Zhaowu still saved his life. As for the confinement in the suburbs of Beijing, it was also a life-saving arrangement for the prince.

After all, if he were to be released, not only the King of Qi and the King of Chu would probably do something secretly, but also the angry people in the capital would not let him go.

As Prince Fei's edict was read out, the eyes of King Qi and King Chu both shone with excitement.

The prince was finally deposed, the seat was finally vacant, and they had a chance.

However, they were quite smart and did not bring up the matter of establishing another prince at this time.

After all, the things the deposed prince did made Emperor Zhaowu very angry. It was better not to rush into trouble at this time.

As the edict that the prince was deposed came, the prince was immediately carried out of the capital.

As for the Crown Princess, there is also the child that Zhao Yaner gave birth to for the Crown Prince.

At Queen Shen's suggestion, the title was changed.

Crown Princess Yuan, who was to be Princess Huijun, moved out of the East Palace and went to a house in the capital. The child was also taken away from the East Palace to be raised by Princess Huijun.

The sudden downfall of the prince brought disaster to the prince's faction, especially those officials who were involved in the money-making incident.

Even Cao Guogong was deprived of his title of Duke and was cleared out of the court.
