Chapter 371 Lost Sacred Heart

Emperor Qi Cheng dismissed Lu Guogong's Duke Marquis, and took back the Danqing iron scroll, and the news spread throughout the powerful families.

The nobles are all worried, whether Emperor Qi Cheng's attack on the hereditary Duke of the Kingdom is warning the princes to keep their own place, or is he disgusted with the Duke of Lu, or is it just a signal that the attack on the Duke of Lu is just a signal, and he will have to deal with it next time? The other nobles mentioned the butcher knife?

Just when the nobles were in danger, in the middle of the afternoon, Eunuch Xi brought Emperor Qi Cheng's order from the Ming Palace to the First Prince's Mansion.

Eunuch Xi returned to the Ming Palace, and everyone who followed the incident knew that the eldest prince was once again ordered by Emperor Qi Cheng to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors.

Unlike the last time when Emperor Qi Cheng grounded the Eldest Prince in the mansion in private to save the Eldest Prince's face, this time Emperor Qi Cheng directly made the decree, telling others that he was already very tired of the Eldest Prince.

As the eldest son, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing to be grounded twice. After all, it can be seen from this that if Emperor Qi Cheng really treats the eldest prince as the future heir, he will not let the eldest prince lose face, otherwise he will not be ashamed in the future. If the eldest prince becomes the new emperor, how can he have enough deterrent power to deter the courtiers?

Thinking a little deeper, could it be that the eldest prince also got involved in the matter of making money in the copper mine, so that Emperor Qi Cheng was disgusted?
Li Chong was not satisfied at first, but Li Yang was only grounded, and he was not hurt. After Mr. Jing told him in detail that Li Yang was rejected by Emperor Qi Cheng, Li Chong was in a good mood and was so happy to make people do it for a whole day. Good wine and good food at the table, drink freely with Mr. Jing.

"According to Mr. Jing's intention, this time the eldest brother has been rejected by his father, so he will have no chance of being the crown prince in the future?"

Mr. Jing shook his head slightly, Li Chong frowned, and put down his chopsticks, "What do you mean by shaking your head, sir?"

"The imperial decree only said that the eldest prince did not do things well, did not think carefully, and made many mistakes, so His Majesty was deeply disappointed and asked the eldest prince to reflect on himself at home, but in the final analysis, the eldest prince did not make any serious mistakes on the surface.

Although the Eldest Prince is being rejected by His Majesty now, it is because the Eldest Prince is not the heir apparent in His Majesty's heart. If something happens to the Crown Prince whom He is optimistic about, the Eldest Prince will become one of the candidates for the heir apparent again. "

Following Mr. Jing's words, Li Chong's complexion became ugly.

Mr. Jing paused, and continued, "If I were the eldest prince, it would be better to be silent at this time. The nominal eldest son is rejected by the emperor, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the other princes. There are no obstacles in the way. Then each competes according to his own ability.

And in the process of fighting, if the selection of the crown prince whom the Holy Majesty is optimistic about makes a mistake, or something happens, then the eldest prince's chance will come.Of course, the opportunity for the eldest prince is to make the other princes make mistakes. If the candidate for the crown prince whom the Holy Majesty is optimistic about is safe and sound, then the opportunity for the eldest prince will be gone.

If the opportunity is gone, it is better to make a move, maybe there is still a chance to fight. "

Li Chong couldn't finish the food and wine, but it was Mr. Jing who was very thirsty after such a long speech. After drinking a glass of wine, he picked up the food and wine with his chopsticks and started eating.

Li Chong's face was solemn, "Then Mr. Yijing means that if the fourth brother is safe and sound, the elder brother will lose the position of crown prince forever, but if something happens to the fourth brother, the eldest brother will still be one of the candidates for the crown prince."

Mr. Jing swallowed his wine and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right."

Li Chong frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Then what if the eldest brother didn't wait and see what happened, and something happened to the fourth child?"

Mr. Jing raised his eyebrows, "If something happens to the second prince, who will be the new emperor?"

Only then did Li Chong's expression soften, that's right, as long as the father is the only son left, he must be the new emperor.

Li Chong couldn't help asking Mr. Jing, "Sir, is there a way to make my elder brother do something crazy?"

Mr. Jing shook his head, "Your Highness, there is nothing I can do about it." However, there are naturally people around Li Yang who will make him do impulsive things.

Li Chong was disappointed for a while, but he also knew that even if Mr. Jing had great powers, it was impossible for his eldest brother to do things.

When Eunuch Xi left the First Prince's Mansion, Li Yang's face twisted slightly, and the imperial decree in his hand was also thrown to the ground by his anger because of his anger. The table kicked to the ground and made a 'bang dang' sound.

The eldest princess Du Qingshu, who was accompanying to receive the order, watched coldly, a happy smile flashed across her eyes, and then she showed deep boredom. She didn't even bother to persuade Li Yang. When he came, he said, "Mr. Wang has come to see His Highness. Since His Highness still has business to discuss, I will not bother you."

Without waiting for Li Yang to reply, he took Mama Ning and left.

Simply because Li Yang didn't have time to pay attention to her now, when he saw Wang Jian, he pointed to the imperial edict on the ground and said, "This is the imperial edict from my father."

After he finished speaking, he sat straight on the chair beside him and gasped for breath.

Wang Jian picked up the imperial decree on the ground and looked at it. By looking down at the cover of the imperial decree, a dark light flashed in his eyes. When he raised his head, his face suddenly became very dignified.

"Your Highness, this matter is very bad for you."

Li Yang frowned, and couldn't help sitting up straight, "What does Ziyi mean by this? It's just a foot restraint. After a while, Father will naturally release my feet. Why is it so bad?"

Wang Jian shook his head in disapproval, "Your Highness, do you think it's the same as the previous grounding? Your Highness, you didn't make a big mistake on the surface, and it's only a matter of time before you relieve your feet, but the important thing is that you lost your Sacred Heart." what!"

Li Yang was shocked, "Have you lost your Sacred Heart?"

Wang Jian looked distressed, "Yes, Your Highness, didn't you see that even the Duke of Lu lost the hereditary Duke? And the Holy Majesty ordered you to shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. Isn't this just annoying you?

No matter how capable you are, if you are bored by the Holy One, can you still be the new emperor in the future?How many courtiers have you seen who lost their Sacred Heart and can return to the court?

This is not an imperial decree to contemplate mistakes behind closed doors. The Holy Majesty clearly told others that you will never be the new emperor in his mind. Those courtiers like foxes will definitely turn to support the third and fourth princes. "

Li Yang's complexion suddenly changed, and he became pale. When he thought that he had lost the qualification of the dragon chair, his unwillingness surged. Then he thought that the situation before him was caused by the copper mine incident. Subconsciously, he complained and angered the person who gave him the copper mine in front of him.

"If you hadn't brought me a copper mine, how could I have come to where I am today?"
