Chapter 107
The four words "overthrow the dynasty" were so rebellious that the emperor laughed angrily.

But this was a joke in his eyes. As long as Ming Cangyu was around, he wouldn't worry about it at all.

"I will grant your request."

Secretly, he wanted to know if his son would stand by and watch when he became a "foolish king".

If he is indifferent while watching the country fall into crisis, then he will give up on him completely.

Although he hoped from the bottom of his heart to leave the throne to him, if he didn't care about the prosperity and decline of the country, leaving the throne to him would be a disaster.

*
Early the next morning, hundreds of officials impeached Shen Yuan and Shen Fengnian.

The emperor said that what he knew about Shen Huai was that the daughter of the Wen family and the young master of the Chu family had conspired to do something wrong first, and they deserved the consequences.

The emperor not only openly defended Shen Yu'an, but also ordered Shen Yu'an to build the East Factory. The ministers were in an uproar and felt that the emperor had been drunk by Shen Huaizhi.

After the emperor went to court, most of the courtiers went to the prince to discuss matters.

A few went to see the second prince.

I went to see the North Wing King individually but was turned away.

North Wing Palace.

Ming Cangyu was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book when the seventh prince came to find him.

"Sixth brother, my father is not normal. I suspect that Shen Huaizhi drugged him and confused his mind." Ming Yaoling said anxiously.

Ming Cangyu's expression remained unchanged, "Shen Huaizhi has indeed become a bit arrogant recently."

"Sixth brother, if you allow my father to continue to indulge like this, Shen Huaizhi may become the number one eunuch in Beiyu. If you don't stop it now, it will be a disaster in the future."

"Well, it really should be stopped."

"Sixth brother, what's the best idea?"

"If I don't enter the court, I won't interfere in anything except fighting."

Ming Yaoling frowned, "Sixth brother really doesn't have any idea about that position?"

"Seventh brother is joking. You and I are twins. According to royal rules, if a concubine gives birth to twins, one of them must be killed or deprived of the qualification to become the crown prince. Neither you nor I are qualified to fight for it." Ming Cangyu said indifferently.

Ming Yao Ling smiled bitterly, "Brothers, why do you and I need to speak such official language? You have known for a long time that we are not twins. You are the son that my father is trying to protect, and my role is to protect you. I am the real one." You are not qualified to fight, but you are not."

"Seventh brother, do you think it's unfair?" Ming Cangyu asked back.

"Of course I feel it's unfair. I am also the son of my father, but I have been abandoned since I was born. My mother-in-law hates you, but she has to pretend to love you and not dare to have any evil intentions, because you have a millionaire. One, I have to be buried with you, is this fair?"

"Without this king, the seventh brother would not have had such smooth sailings in these years, and Concubine Wen Xian would not have become a good concubine, nor would she have the honor and favor she has today. Without the favor, it will be difficult to move forward in the deep palace. Anyone can I'm plotting against you." Ming Cangyu said indifferently.

Ming Yaoling remained silent and had nothing to say in reply.

His mother and concubine were not favored. When he was young, his father came to visit his mother and concubine. The real purpose was to visit Ming Cangyu.

If it weren't for Ming Cangyu, his father would probably never even step into his mother's palace.

It is said that emperors are ruthless, but it turns out that the current emperor is affectionate. He loves his house and his wife, and he pays more attention to the children born to his beloved woman than the other children.

"If Sixth Brother does not fight, my father will definitely fall into the hands of the prince a hundred years later. What kind of prince is he? Sixth Brother knows very well that if the country falls into his hands, within a few years, Xu Huiguo will be destitute and the people will not be able to live."

Ming Cangyu was silent for a moment, "Then support the second prince." "The second prince is kind, but cowardly and not very powerful. He is the nephew of the Shen family, but he failed to get the Shen family to support him, which shows that the Shen family is not optimistic about him either. he."

"What does seventh brother want to say?"

"I consider myself to be stronger than the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. If I fight for it, I will definitely not be able to do so. But if Sixth Brother expresses his attitude in front of my father, I may have a chance."

Ming Cangyu's eyes were dark, "I will consider it."

"Shen Huaizhi will become a disaster sooner or later. He is now my father's favorite, and no one else can do anything to him. But this other person does not include Sixth Brother. For the sake of the country and the country, Sixth Brother may have to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Ming Cangyu's face turned cold, "Seventh brother has too many calculations. You cannot take advantage of me!"

"I'm not using you. That Shen Huaizhi is still a young man, and my father is so indulgent to him. Once he grows up..."

"I am tired, seventh brother, please come back."

Ming Yaoling was unwilling to give in, but there was nothing he could do.

Not long after he left, Zhu Zhiyi entered the study with chicken soup.

"Your Highness is worried about Prince Shen?"

Ming Cangyu's eyes darkened, "Who told you?"

"My guess is that the emperor ordered Shen Shizi to build the East Factory. The matter spread. It is said that the prince and the court officials strongly opposed it, but the emperor did not listen. Just now the seventh prince came to find the prince. I guess it was because of this matter." Zhu Zhi Yi Rou said, filled the chicken soup and placed it in front of Ming Cangyu.

He added, "I heard that the East Factory was built according to the model of the West Factory of the previous dynasty. The eunuchs of the former West Factory held power and disrupted the imperial court. In the end, even the emperor at the time could not control it, causing civil strife."

"With the troubles of the previous dynasty there, the emperor should be vigilant. He should not be so indulging in Prince Shen, but he just tolerated it. I have to suspect that Prince Shen drugged the emperor and confused him."

Ming Cangyu also had some doubts, "I will go back and take Nie Beichuan into the palace to find out."

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhiyi lowered his head, with a shy look on his face, "Now that the emperor is in good health, shouldn't the marriage between you and me be put on the agenda? If we continue to delay, I will really become an old girl."

Ming Cangyu looked at her with a complicated expression, and he was at war with nature in his heart. He was very sure that he liked Zhu Zhiyi. He liked her from the first sight, felt pity for her, and wanted to protect her. He also felt the same in his heart. Want to marry her.

But the strange thing is that he just wants to marry her, but if he really wants to implement it, he will feel an inexplicable resistance in his heart, which is very contradictory.

Also, he doesn't have the same desire for her that men have for women.

He had pity and preference for her, but he had no desire.

He had desires for Shen Suining, and even had unwanted thoughts about the capital of Shen Huai.

Ever since he accidentally kissed Shen Huaizhi when he was drunk, he has become very strange. When he is sober, he will be very repulsive and resistant to kissing Shen Huaizhi, but he will dream about it at midnight. In the dream, he is very intoxicated, just kissing. As they kissed, the person in his arms became Shen Suining.

He was almost stunned.

"Your Majesty?" Zhu Zhi noticed that Ming Cangyu didn't speak. He looked up at him with disappointment on his face, "You have been putting it off again and again and you still refuse to give me an explanation. What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Zhiyi, I..." Ming Cangyu looked complicated and his heart was twitching, "I pity you, but I... don't know how to say it, but I am very conflicted in my heart."
