Chapter 258 Omen of Stroke
"Windunhai, are you going to rebel?" the emperor said unhappy.
"The emperor calms down, I am guilty. But for the sake of the country and country of Tian Chu, I have to risk my life to advise. I think the position of the crown prince cannot be passed on to the eldest prince anyway." After Wen Dunhai said that, he knelt down and shouted: "I hope the emperor thinks twice!"
"I am the same as Wen Cheng, please think twice!" Half of the court officials behind Wen Dunhai knelt down with him.
"You are trying to force me!"
"I dare not, I just hope that you can think twice, yourselves, and never pass the position of crown prince to the eldest prince."
The emperor glanced over the court officials with a gloomy face, then fell on Wen Dunhai, and pondered: "It seems that Prime Minister Wen is prepared today, and he is truly worthy of being the good minister I valued in the past."
"I am deeply grateful to the emperor, and I will work hard for the emperor until I die." Wen Dunhai leaned over and bowed.
"What a great effort, I will die after death. But I will make Wen Aiqing disappointed. I have decided. The position of the crown prince has been issued an edict!" As he said that, the emperor took out an imperial edict from the secret lattice behind the dragon throne and threw it away.
The imperial edict rolled down and spread out in front of Wendunhai. Wendunhai looked at it intently and was stunned: "Master, you—"
This imperial edict was made after the abolition of the position of Prince Chu Yu. These days, the ministers in the court argued with each other, fighting openly and secretly, and were fighting for their own interests, but they did not expect that the emperor had already made a decision and watched them in vain.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it really seemed that some families were happy and some were sad.
The court officials kneeling on the ground regretted it so much that they had already known that the emperor had even prepared the edict, so why should they have to do this? They should have pleased the crown prince early. Now, if the new emperor ascended the throne, which of the officials who openly opposed him today would be more valued?
Chu Chenjin glanced at the contents of the imperial edict, which clearly stated that it was circulated to be located in the eldest prince Chu Chenjin, whose biological mother Mengfei was the queen mother.
"Father, I don't know that you have intended to hand over this burden to me." Chu Chenjin didn't show his face, but he was very excited. Although he was bound to win this position, he did not expect that the emperor would have been sure of him.
The emperor waved to him, and Chu Chenjin walked over.
"Jin'er, I have never known your temperament for so many years. You seem to be a bland person, but you are extremely passionate inside. I see you and my filial piety to your mother. Over the years, I have no choice but to let you go, not because I don't value you, but because I think you can stand alone and make decisions in everything.
When Yu'er was the prince, I just hoped that you could be a free prince. When you go to the fiefdom in the future, you will have enough strength to manage one side." When the emperor said this, he glanced at Chu Yu who was in a distraught corner and sighed: "It's a pity that the rebellious son is not good at it. Now, I have the world in your hands. Do you have the confidence to sit in this position?"
"My son has it!" Chu Chenjin said with a firm expression.
Upon hearing this, the emperor Lao Huai nodded with relief: "Okay, I am worthy of being my good son. I believe that even if my father is gone in the future, you can reassure the people of the world."
"Don't worry, my father, I will definitely remember your daily teachings."
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Qin looked at the scene of the emperor and Chu Chenjin's "father-son harmony", and a mist filled her eyes.
When she met the emperor, she often entered the palace at that time, and she often saw Prince Ruicheng and the emperor who was still the prince.
However, at that time, her eyes were gradually attracted by Prince Ruicheng, and she did not notice that the emperor was interested in him. It was not until Prince Ruicheng was seriously injured and died that the emperor expressed his feelings to her. But her eyes were already filled with Prince Ruicheng, and she could no longer tolerate others. She had been with the emperor coldly for so many years.
Thinking back on the emperor's various things about her and Chu Chenjin, she couldn't help feeling guilty and could not say anything to reject the order for a while.
"Haha, what a kind father, a filial son!" An extremely disharmonious voice came out, and everyone saw Prime Minister Wen suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, you know that the eldest prince is not yours, but you insist on appointing him as the crown prince. Do you value the eldest prince or are you guilty?"
When the emperor heard this, he frowned: "Wen Dunhai, why did you say this?"
Wen Dunhai did not answer him immediately, but looked at Chu Chenjin: "The eldest prince, the emperor passed the throne to you. You should indeed thank you, but if this throne belonged to you. You should have inherited the grave of Prince Huicheng and Princess Ruicheng, but because of the emperor's own selfish desires, you lost your biological father and trapped your mother in the harem for more than ten years. Do you think this is an enemy or a benefactor?"
Chu Chenjin's eyes cold: "Prime Minister Wen, what do you mean?"
"Come on, pull Prime Minister Wen out for me and behead him!" The emperor's excited voice came from behind.
The imperial guards immediately stepped forward, but were stopped by the guards around Wendunhai. The courtiers kneeling on the ground were trembling, fearing that they would be affected, so they hurriedly retreated aside.
"Your Majesty, are you so anxious? Is it because Weichen said nothing wrong? The reason why Prince Ruicheng was seriously injured during the palace transformation was because you did it!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell into silence, and then there was an uproar.
Cheng Xin and Qin Shu looked at each other. What is there insider information about this?
Zhou Qin looked at Wen Dunhai in disbelief: "Prime Minister Wen, what are you talking about?"
"Concubine Meng, don't listen to this traitor's nonsense!" The emperor suddenly stood up, but fell from his head due to excitement. Fortunately, the Nian imperial doctor beside him was quick-witted and almost supported him.
But I didn't expect the emperor to twitch the corner of his mouth and his whole body trembled.
"No, the emperor is a sign of a stroke!" The Nian Imperial Doctor hurriedly started to rescue him.
After another panic, the Imperial Doctor Nian finally stabilized the emperor's condition.
Wen Yunxian looked at the emperor like that and felt a little reluctant: "Chen Jin, the emperor's condition is important, so today's matter may be discussed later."
Cheng Xin nodded, she was also afraid that if the emperor continued to talk, the emperor would not be able to hold on.
Wen Yunxian woke up the dreamer with a word, and Zhou Qin hurried forward: "Your Majesty, I will help you back to the bedroom."
She held the emperor's hand and trembled a little, but the emperor shook his head and said with difficulty: "No, since he said that, I will explain this matter clearly. It would be better than you doubt me in your heart."
He looked at Windunhai: "You keep talking."
"Emperor, when Duke Anguo and Prince Jingping rescued the lord into the palace, they wiped out the forces of the fourth prince and Empress Dowager Jiang. They came in time, how could Prince Ruicheng be so seriously injured? At that time, I saw with my own eyes that it was you and Prince Ruicheng together."
"So what? I found the emperor's brother and personal guard before the two of them." The emperor said.
