Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 204 Poisoning (2)
Cheng Rong smiled slightly, quickly returned the salute, and asked with a smile: "Master Sun, what are you talking about this early in the morning? It's noisy."

Uncle Sun looked around and said mysteriously: "Master Cheng Rong, you don't know yet? Now the ministers in the court are spreading rumors that the king has ruled the world for more than 20 years, but the princes have not grown up. Adult, it is said that recently, the king has made up his mind to abolish the current prince, so the courtiers are very nervous, for fear that abolishing the prince will affect the peace of the court."

"Abolish the prince again? My lord Sun, if I remember correctly, among the princes of the king, except for Lu Wang Chuxiu, who is supervising the construction of the Li Palace in Lishan, only the current prince and Jin Wang Fuhai are the king's own flesh and blood. , if the king abolishes the crown prince, who will inherit the throne?" Cheng Rong asked strangely.

"It certainly won't be King Lu and King Jin. It is said that the king has decided to replace the prince immediately after the queen mother gives birth to a son-in-law. So now the king has no excuse to abolish the prince!" Uncle Sun said alarmingly.

Cheng Rong stroked his beard easily, and said with a leisurely smile, "Master Sun, in fact, we don't have to be so nervous. It doesn't matter who is the prince. After all, this is just a trivial matter of the royal family, but the national economy and people's livelihood of the world, no matter who is in charge , must live well, so the top priority is to continue to assist the king to reform the government and monopolize the imperial power, this is the biggest thing."

"Well, Mr. Cheng Rong still sees far, but this is what he said, but it is too difficult to do it. After all, these ministers in the court are looking forward to being able to stand in the right team. In the future, they will be the great heroes of the new king and preserve their glory Wealthy, so whoever becomes the prince is the best excuse they use to fight for power." Uncle Sun worried.

"Well, since that's the case, then we might as well pretend to be deaf and dumb until the king's decision is made." Cheng Rongji said.

"I would like to report to the two lords, Your Majesty, please come to Jianjia Palace for questioning." At this time, the court lady Xinyue stepped forward to give Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun a blessing.

Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun immediately went outside the Shuilong Shuren Hall in Jianjia Palace, waiting for Ming Gong's reprimand. After a while, Ming Gong came angrily in front of Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty greets you." Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun quickly knelt down and saluted. "Get up, two lovers, I recruited you today because I want to entrust the future prince to you." Ming Gong said straight to the point.

Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun looked at each other, and hurriedly asked Ming Gong: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Ming Gong chuckled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "You know, since ancient times, abolishing the elders and setting up the young, and abolishing the sons and sons to establish the concubine are the reasons for the chaos of the dynasty. All, at the beginning, the widow established him for the purpose of temporarily stabilizing people's hearts, so he let the empress of the palace take care of him. When the world is at peace, he will naturally change. Therefore, the widow ordered you two lovers to be the crown prince in advance, so that you can assist the prince in the future. .”

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Sun Shushang wanted to say something, but Cheng Rong quickly pulled him back, kowtowed to Ming Gong and thanked Minggong, and then it was over.

The court discussion of Chaoyang Palace quickly reached the ears of Concubine Jin of Chonghua Palace through Xiao Ruzi.

"What? My Hui En will be in danger of being deposed?" Imperial Concubine Jin couldn't help sweating and was dumbfounded when she heard that Ming Gong wanted to abolish the crown prince who gave birth to a son who committed suicide.

"I didn't expect that the king would be so heartless, even my own son has been adopted by Baosi, and he will never let it go." Imperial Concubine Jin looked at the resentful Concubine Ge and Concubine Yun, burning with anger.
