Chapter 483
After hearing Zhu Xuanming's words, Emperor Chongde showed a smile with unclear meaning, and then asked: "Then, what do you mean is that Lao Jiu went out of the palace to Dingyuan Temple, did he have other secrets? Collusion?"
Zhu Xuanming didn't expect Emperor Chongde to be so direct, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. After struggling for a while, he was still unwilling to give up the opportunity to get eye drops, so he nodded and said, "I still feel that this matter is very important. If there is another inside story, the emperor should send someone to investigate."
Of course Emperor Chongde has sent someone to investigate!
Before Zhu Xuanming arrived, the royal family also discovered a secret report that the Jiang family was secretly looking for a child who was very similar to Zhu Xuanzhi.The Jiang family had a prince, Liang Di, and Jiang Qin was always in Zhu Xuanming's favor.
It is self-evident who the Jiang family is doing this for.
Why did the Jiang family find such a person? Emperor Chongde didn't understand before, but now he finally knows.He also knew what the Empress Dowager Zheng said.
It means royal blood, and it turns out to be here.The prince has not yet ascended the throne, so the royal blood can no longer be tolerated?Before even starting to supervise the country, the hand has already reached out to the Huben army.
Even if Emperor Chongde knew that Guo Qin was from Zhu Xuanming, he didn't have much thought about Guo Qin.The prince and future emperor of a country must have their own strength.What's more, he was just a fifth-rank captain, and Emperor Chongde hadn't paid attention to him yet.
Emperor Chongde also knew that the royal family has no brothers.There is only one throne, but this throne is too tempting, every prince wants to sit on it, and fighting is inevitable.At that time, he stepped on the corpse of the second king to ascend the throne.But that doesn't mean he wants to see his sons do the same.
He doesn't expect his many sons to get along in harmony, but he still has a bottom line, that is, he hopes that all his sons can live.
From the very beginning, he loved Zhu Xuanming so much that the other princes could not compete with him for the throne, and even deliberately did not raise the status of the second prince's biological mother, Lin Meiren, in order to let the other sons recognize their status and cut off their desire to compete for the throne.
This is how Emperor Chongde protected these sons.
In his view, if you don't have enough skills, don't have such big ambitions.The way to register is to be far away from the throne.
Although the second prince was imprisoned in the mansion by him, he is still alive, isn't he?
But now, the crown prince can't tolerate them!When he was still a prince, he couldn't tolerate his brothers, so one can imagine what will happen to him after he ascends the throne. ——Emperor Chongde could almost foresee the tragic and bloody storm in the future.
Involuntarily, Emperor Chongde remembered a record in Unofficial History, which told the story of the selection of the crown prince by the previous dynasty.
According to historical records, the emperor hesitated among the princes, not knowing who would be suitable.Later, Zai Fu suggested that a prince with mediocre talents but honest people should be appointed. The reason is that if the prince is appointed, the other princes can be protected.
In the past, Emperor Chongde sneered at this practice. Of course, the establishment of a monarch is a talent. How can he be a mediocre heir for the sake of blood?A mediocre ruler is the easiest to become a foolish ruler, and also the easiest to cause turmoil in the country. This is a sin of the ages.
But at this moment, he deeply realized the profound meaning of this choice.What he was thinking at the moment was: No matter how many princes there are, they can't help getting rid of them one by one. There will always be an end.
Perhaps in the future, there will be few members of the royal family in the world.If this continues, the royal family will wither.The royal family is withered, how can they suppress those foreign relatives and powerful officials?
A person like Lao Jiu, whose biological mother is dead and has no influence, can't be tolerated by the Crown Prince, so who else can the Crown Prince tolerate?
There were huge waves churning in Emperor Chongde's heart, which made it hard for him to sit still.But he didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Zhu Xuanming, and ordered him to leave Zichen Palace.
Zhu Xuanming was confused, he didn't understand why his father only asked such simple words, and he didn't know if the eye medicine was finished, so he left Zichen Palace full of doubts.
But he didn't have to be confused soon. On the same day, he received two news from the blue sky, which almost made him faint to the ground!
The first news is about Huben Captain Guo Qin.Because the assassin of Dingyuan Temple was not caught, Emperor Chongde dismissed Guo Qin from his position as captain and exiled him to Lingnan on the charge of "incompetence". .
Poor Guo Qin was dismissed from his official position when he reported the matter to Dingyuan Temple in the Zichen Hall. No matter how much he cried and begged for grievances, Emperor Chongde ignored him.
Moreover, in addition to Guo Qin, Emperor Chongde also cleaned up many Huben generals and soldiers.These people, whether they were in-laws of the Cheng family or old friends of the Jiang family, were more or less attached to the East Palace.
The generals and soldiers attached to the East Palace were cleared out of Zichen Palace.This is a signal to the Dading court, a signal that the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince, or a signal that the emperor beats the prince.
However, when the ministers of the DPRK and China heard this, it was difficult to have any other reactions other than shock.They even wondered if there were other people behind these cleared people.
Otherwise, when the emperor was about to leave Jingzhao, why would there be a signal of dissatisfaction with the prince?Maybe I made a mistake.
However, the following news made the signal clear.All Jingzhao courtiers knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince for some reason and wanted to limit the power of the prince.
The news is: the emperor wants to appoint a minister to supervise the country!This is the news from Chang Kang, the head of the servants, and it is a matter of certainty.
According to news, the emperor hastily summoned Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong into the palace, intending to appoint them as ministers of the state supervisor to assist the prince in handling government affairs. The prince cannot decide on any major military and state affairs by himself, and must discuss with the two ministers of state supervision.
I heard that the two lords Pei and Xue have already responded to the order, and now the Ministry of Education is already drafting an edict, and the matter of the Minister of State Supervision will be made public soon.
A crown prince has been established in the court. If the emperor leaves Jingzhao, the crown prince will supervise the country and handle the government affairs on behalf of the emperor.However, now there are two more ministers overseeing the country to discuss politics together. What does this mean?
Does the emperor not trust His Highness the Crown Prince?Still don't trust His Highness the Crown Prince?
And the reason why the emperor would do this, not many people know, not even Zhu Xuanming himself!
Zhu Xuanming was startled and frightened, he just felt that his mind was in turmoil, and wanted to ask Emperor Chongde why he made such a decision, why he treated him like this, and whether... Emperor Chongde detested him.
He was so dazed that he didn't even have the courage to go to Zichen Palace to meet Emperor Chongde.
The first update!It will take half an hour to update a chapter, I want to kneel to the starting point!Thank you for the monthly tickets of floodjiang, Maoyan Feiyan, Baibai, Xiaojinchongchongniu, thank you for the rewards of nostalgia, thank you everyone!
