Chapter 182 East Palace Change! New Crown Prince Candidate!

For Jiang Xinghe, today's court meeting was a complete surprise.

Indeed, he was the one who secretly awakened everyone's memories and spread the truth about the natural disaster.

Through the officials in the East Palace who shared weal and woe with him, he spread the truth about the natural disaster to the entire capital.

All the officials in the East Palace admired, were nervous, and were afraid at the same time.

Because in the eyes of these people, the prince did this because he planned to force the palace to seize the throne.

However.

Not only did Jiang Xinghe have no intention of seizing the throne, he had never even thought of causing the same turmoil as Du Qianchuan.

After all, things have happened, whether it is natural disasters over the years or Du Qianchuan's death, these things cannot be reversed.

In his view, seizing the future is far more important than dwelling on the past.

He just wanted everyone to know and remember this.

In this way, the damage caused by natural disasters to Daqing and the people will be minimized.

In fact, there is a bit of his own selfishness in it.

He is afraid.

I am afraid that my father will once again use natural disasters to harm the people.

He is even more afraid that after he ascends the throne, he will become like his father.

As he told Xu Chong before, at least for now, he is still the prince.

While I still want to do something, I will completely block the crooked path that my father is taking and that I may take in the future.

This is his ultimate goal.

He could not have expected that Hou Rang would stand up so strongly.

He could not have expected that so many people followed him.

But he could not have expected that his father would kill him without any guilt.

As for the end, Lou Youzhi's eloquent plan was far beyond his imagination.

At this point, he knew that he could not let the situation continue to get out of control.

"Father."

Jiang Xinghe laughed loudly. "You misunderstood Mr. Luo Ge. This incident was all caused by my son. Not only Mr. Luo Ge didn't know about it, but these petitioners were also coerced by my son and had no choice but to do it."

."

!!!

Prince?!

All the officials were shocked and stunned.

Not only the officials who were still in the queue, but also those who participated in the impeachment, such as Hou Rang and Shi Zheng, were like this.

"you?"

Emperor Yongtai's voice turned cold, "Why?"

Obviously, he did not expect this situation.

"Father, Emperor."

Jiang Xinghe cupped his fists and bowed, "My son, remembering what Du Qianchuan did, I can't sleep day and night, and I don't think about food or tea."

"Just like Du Qianchuan said."

"First, those who love Daqing are all Daqing people."

"Those who were born in various provinces and died from natural disasters thought that they were Qing people and people of Daqing until their death."

"But Daqing wants its own people to die. What's the point?"

"Secondly, all my Daqing people should be rewarded for their merits and punished for their transgressions."

"Did Du Qianchuan have merit?"

"uncertain."

"But has he?"

"Or is it just a matter of pleading the grievances of the refugees?"

"All of us, the people of Daqing, should complain about injustice and fight against injustice!"

"If this is true, why did Taizu write this article into the imperial edict?"

Having said this, Jiang Xinghe straightened his back and looked directly behind the curtain, "Could it be that Taizu's great edict has been abandoned by my father?"

"presumptuous!!!"

An angry roar came from the back hall.

This is the voice of Emperor Yongtai.

Whether Lou Youzhi or Dou Tianyuan, even the more senior Lu Zhong and King Qian, this was actually the first time they had seen Emperor Yongtai lose his temper like this.

"Let's not ignore Taizu's great edict for now."

Emperor Yongtai's tone was full of suppressed rage, "You said, these people were all coerced by you?"

At this time, Hou Rang and others fell to their knees as if they were waking up from a dream.

"This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness!!"

"We all did it spontaneously and were not coerced by anyone!"

"..."

More than forty people spoke one after another, and the scene was once chaotic.

This made the remaining people confused.

Is it related to the prince?

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xinghe turned around suddenly and looked at everyone coldly: "You have no place to speak here."

"..."

Hou Rang and others suddenly choked and were at a loss.

Jiang Xinghe turned around and said calmly: "I would like to report to the emperor, Hou Rang, Shi Zheng and others. They were all forced by their sons and ministers. In order to save the lives of the whole family, they had to risk their lives to report."

silence.

The entire Tianji Palace fell into a deathly silence.

At this point, everyone actually understood what was going on.

Was the prince involved in this?

Maybe.

At least, it might be the prince who awakened everyone's memory.

But Hou Rang and others' impeachment of the late emperor was definitely not at the prince's instigation, let alone coercion.

The reason why the prince took the whole matter into his own hands was probably to protect the more than forty people and to prevent the conflict between the Prime Minister and His Majesty.

only……

It’s okay for others to do this, but you are the prince!

How could you do this???

All the officials were in disbelief.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongtai spoke again: "Do you know what price you have to pay for taking on this matter?"

"Of course I know."

Jiang Xinghe gave a long laugh, "Natural disasters are merciless, but people are merciful."

"So, Du Qianchuan will sacrifice his life for the injustice."

"So, Gu Chengren would abandon his official position because of Du Qianchuan's injustice."

"That's why I coerced Hou Rang and others into repeating Du Qianchuan's behavior."

"Yes!"

“There is no mercy under the law of the country!”
