Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 635 of the main text of Ruyi Xiaolangjun: There is no choice. Due to the impact of the Ministry of Industry case, King Kang was demoted from prince to heir by His Majesty. He lost the qualification to compete for the heir apparent and was about to go to a remote fiefdom.

King Duan and King Kang have been fighting for so many years, and today, the two finally decided the winner.

The king succeeds and the bandit loses. King Kang lost his position as prince today. When King Duan gets the throne, what he loses may be his life.

No emperor would allow such a threat to exist.

The servants of Prince Kang's Mansion have been trembling with fear all day long. Not one of the counselors in the Mansion is left, but they cannot escape for fear of angering Prince Kang in the Prince's Mansion. No one knows what terrible things he will do in anger. things to come.

During lunch time, a servant delivering food had no choice but to approach the main hall where King Kang was.

He stood at the door holding the dinner plate and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, it's time to eat."

There was no sound from the hall.

The servant gritted his teeth and pushed open the door. When he looked into the hall, the expression on his face suddenly froze. The plate in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the food was scattered all over the floor.

I saw a piece of white silk thread passing through the beam on the roof of the palace, and Prince Kang was hanging straight on the white silk thread.

The servant was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Come here, come quickly, your highness committed suicide!"

…

Royal study room.

Chen Huang sat above, obviously unhappy. He read a memorial for a long time without turning a new page.

Wei Jian walked in from outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang Xian has been kneeling outside the palace for more than an hour."

Concubine Zhang Xian was the mother-concubine of King Kang. This time King Kang was demoted and exiled. After going to court, Concubine Zhang Xian knelt at the door of the imperial study and begged for mercy for King Kang.

Emperor Chen snorted coldly and said: "There is nothing to kneel down. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. He committed such a heinous crime. I didn't demote him to a commoner. It was just for the sake of the virtuous concubine. I If he is pardoned, how will he explain it to the officials and the people? "

This time, King Kang dared to meddle with ordnance and intervene in the affairs of salt and iron, which had already touched his bottom line. Hundreds of millions of taels of silver was a small matter, but King Kang's actions gave him a strong sense of crisis. , this is a crisis that threatens the supreme position.

Salt and iron have always been the exclusive business of the imperial court. What they fear is that someone will gain huge profits from it and use the salt and iron to raise troops to rebel. He has to be on guard against outsiders, let alone those who are already qualified to go further. Prince?

Chen Guo is now surrounded by foreign enemies. In a short period of time, he has no idea of ​​handing over the throne.

Wei Jian looked outside and whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang Xian's health has never been good. I am worried that if she kneels for a long time, her body will not be able to support..."

Thinking of Concubine Zhang Xian, Emperor Chen finally showed a hint of unbearable expression on his face and said, "Let the palace maid help her back to the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch suddenly ran in from outside. He didn't have time to report. He knelt down in the palace with a thud and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good. His Highness King Kang, His Highness King Kang committed suicide!"

"Cheng'er!" A trembling voice came from outside the imperial study room, and then there was no news.

Chen Huang stood up suddenly, stared at the eunuch, and said tremblingly: "You, what did you say?"

The eunuch buried his head very low and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, news came from Prince Kang's Mansion just now. His Royal Highness Prince Kang left a suicide note and committed suicide by hanging from a beam. The imperial doctor has already gone to Prince Kang's Mansion. As soon as the servant got the news, he immediately reported it to His Majesty. …”

Chen Huang hurriedly walked down from above and said anxiously: "Quick, go to Prince Kang's Mansion!"

In Prince Kang's Mansion, Chen Huang, who had arrived in a hurry, just entered the palace and looked at the imperial physician aside and asked, "How's it going? Is Cheng'er okay?"

The imperial doctor immediately bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, fortunately it was discovered early. When we rescued His Royal Highness Prince Kang, he was still alive. Now his life is not serious. He just needs to cultivate for a period of time to make up for the lost vitality. …”

Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally relaxed.

Although King Kang made a big mistake and disappointed him extremely, no matter how disappointed he was, this was still his son. How could he just watch him die?

Emperor Chen walked into the palace, looked at the dying King Kang lying on the bed, and said angrily: "Bastard, do you want the white-haired father and mother-in-law to give away the black-haired people!"

King Kang looked pale, with a smile on his face, and said: "I know that my sins are serious, so I can only die to apologize and ask my father to fulfill my wishes..."

Chen Huang looked at him and became even more angry and said: "Who told you to die!"

King Kang laughed sadly and said: "Compared with dying in Shuozhou, I would rather die in the capital. At least this place is closer to my father and mother and concubine..."

"What are you talking about? Shuo..." Before Huang Chen could finish his words, his face was slightly stern. It wasn't until this moment that he realized a problem.

If King Kang leaves the capital, he may not be able to reach Shuozhou and will die on the road.

After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor. In the eyes of some people, as long as he does not die, there will always be hope of inheriting the throne.

He himself was born in the royal family and had seen many royal methods, including the dragon chair under him, which was built on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He looked at King Kang, was silent for a moment, and said: "You stay in the capital to recuperate first, and we will talk about going to the fiefdom in two years..."

King Kang coughed twice and said weakly: "Thank you, Father."

When he returned to the palace, Chen Huang's face was extremely ugly and he was worried.

At a certain moment, he finally asked, "Do brothers have to kill each other and fathers and sons turn against each other for the sake of a throne?"

Wei Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "In the eyes of some people, desire is above everything else. Not everyone is as sentimental as your majesty..."

Emperor Chen thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Ming'er is such a person?"

Wei Jian smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Duan is your majesty's son. Your majesty should know him better than anyone else."

"Yes, I know him..." Emperor Chen was silent for a while, then said, "He is more suitable to be the emperor than Cheng'er, but if he becomes the emperor, Cheng'er will definitely not live..."

He thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, when the time comes, send him to Chu State and let him live his rich and prosperous life in peace for the rest of his life. This is all I can do for him..."

He said this lightly, but if it were spread out, it would definitely cause a shocking wave in the court.

This seemed to be just a casual sigh from him, but it had already revealed the ownership of the throne in his heart

Unfortunately, there were only two people in the imperial study at this time, and no third person heard these words.

After Emperor Chen finished speaking, he looked at Wei Jian and said, "Call Ming'er over."

...

Kang Wang Mansion.

Mr. Xu walked into the palace, looked at the maids and servants in the palace, and said, "You all go down."

On weekdays in the palace, Mr. Xu's status was only below that of Kang Wang. These servants responded and left in a hurry, closing the palace door.

Mr. Xu looked at King Kang and said, "Your Highness has suffered."

"Compared to death, this little suffering is nothing?" King Kang sat up from the bed and said with a smile, "Does this count as my death once?"

Mr. Xu said, "I hope that after this time, Your Highness will be able to wake up completely."

"The previous King Kang is dead." King Kang looked at him and suddenly said, "Shouldn't I thank Tang Ning? Without him, I wouldn't understand these things..."

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, don't provoke that person again. Tang Ning is not your enemy, but Prince Duan is."

"You have persuaded me not to do this more than once. I want to go against him." King Kang looked at him and asked, "Are you afraid of him?"

"I am afraid that Your Highness will repeat the same mistake. Facts have proved that my idea is correct." Mr. Xu said lightly, changing the subject: "What did Your Highness understand?"

Kang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "My father's heart has always been biased towards Zhao Ming. At the beginning, he moved the tax silver of the treasury. The crime was not much lighter than mine. I remember how my father punished him very clearly..."

Mr. Xu asked, "So, Your Highness knows what to do next?"

Kang smiled and asked, "Does My King have any other choice?"
