Emperor Hongyuan said in a deep voice: "It is decreed that the eldest prince embezzled and accepted bribes, causing serious damage to the military horse farm. The crime cannot be punished. I will remove his imperial status and demote him to a commoner. At the same time, his name will be removed from the jade certificate and he will be confiscated."
All property, including the First Prince’s Mansion! From now on, I will pretend that I don’t have this son!”
When all the ministers heard this, they all looked sad.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince was demoted to a commoner.
But he had done all the bad things, and he deserved to end up like this. No one sympathized with him!
Chu Tianyu looked at Emperor Hongyuan in disbelief, and his heart instantly cooled down, "Father, do you want to demote your son to a commoner?"
"I don't have a wicked son like you. If I let you stay in the royal family again, I'm afraid you will get worse. From now on, you are no longer a member of the royal family and have nothing to do with me. Come and expel this commoner from the palace.
Without my decree, he will not be allowed to enter the palace again for the rest of his life!" Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
If you dare to damage the foundation of another country and demote it to a common people, it will be considered lightly.
If it weren't for the queen's sake, he would have killed this traitor directly.
Chu Tianyu had a look of panic now. He couldn't believe it when he thought that he had fallen from a high-ranking prince to a commoner in an instant.
He panicked and said: "Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down! I don't dare to do it anymore, not anymore!"
Seeing Chu Tianyu shouting, Emperor Hongyuan said in disgust: "How can we make noise in the court hall? If we shout again, we will be punished with death!"
He really hates this son more and more!
At this time, Chu Tianyu quickly shut his mouth and did not dare to shout again.
He stared at Emperor Hongyuan in horror and found that the emperor at this moment was ruthless.
Thinking that he was about to lose his wealth and honor, his legs softened with fear, his back felt cold, and his teeth trembled and rattled.
Soon, Chu Tianyu was taken down, and the court hall was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "King Li, a large number of horses in the military horse farm are sick now. What do you think should be done to turn the tide?"
Chu Xuanchen said: "Your Majesty, the first priority is to continue to treat the sick horses; the second is to burn the inferior fodder and horse gear, and then terminate the cooperation with Gao's Ranch and others. Not only that, but also to severely punish these substandard horses.
Good profiteers will re-sign contracts with Zhu's Ranch and other good businessmen to restore the military horse farm to its previous order."
Emperor Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, King Li, I will leave it to you to deal with the unscrupulous businessmen. These unscrupulous businessmen dare to pass off inferior products and pass them off as fake ones. You must punish them severely. I will kill them to serve as a warning to others. We will see what happens next."
Who dares to think of a military horse farm?"
"I accept the decree." Chu Xuanchen said.
Emperor Hongyuan said again: "King Li, according to you, who is the most suitable person to be in charge of the military horse farm now?"
Chu Xuanchen pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, when Master Chang was in charge of the military horse farm, he never made any mistakes and worked conscientiously. Sanyu has experience in managing the military horse farm. I think he should be transferred back to the military horse farm and continue to be in charge of him.
Management can ensure the safety of war horses."
Emperor Hongyuan looked thoughtful.
He knew that Sanyu belonged to Chu Xuanchen. Once Sanyu was allowed to continue to be in charge of the military horse farm, the military horse farm would be in Chu Xuanchen's pocket.
But if Sanyu is not used, he is afraid that the losses to the military horse farm will be even greater.
If something happens again at the military horse farm, the country will be in danger.
So he didn't want to use Sanyu, but he had to.
He had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then transfer Sanyu back. Eunuch Xu, draft a decree to transfer Sanyu back to the military horse farm. He will be fully in charge of the military horse farm and order him to resolve the matter immediately."
"According to the decree." Mr. Xu said impartially.
In this way, Emperor Hongyuan transferred San Yu back to the military horse farm, and Chu Xuanchen regained the management rights of the military horse farm.
Thanks to Yuan Zhen for this matter, he will definitely reward Yuan Zhen well when the time comes.
-
Ronghua Palace.
At this time, the queen was holding a tea cup and thinking about how to catch Concubine Xue and Chu Xuanchen.
Just as she was thinking of a plan, Qingying walked in in a panic, "Mother, something happened to the eldest prince!"
"What happened to Tianyu? Did he make another mistake and be punished by his father?" the queen asked nervously.
Qingying shook his head nervously, "No, it's more serious than this. The eldest prince replaced the good fodder at the military horse farm with inferior ones, causing a large number of horses to get sick and die, and the eldest prince also embezzled a lot of money."
"The eldest prince was impeached by Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping just now. When the emperor learned about this, he was very angry. The emperor dismissed the eldest prince on the spot, stripped him of his royal status, demoted him to a commoner, and confiscated all his property!"
"The emperor said that from now on, he will never have this son!"
"What? The emperor actually demoted Tianyu to a commoner?" The queen's hand softened and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
Qingying nodded, "Yes, the emperor has driven the eldest prince out of the palace, and his name has been removed from the jade certificate. From now on, there will be no eldest prince in the royal family."
The queen gritted her teeth bitterly and said angrily, "Your Majesty is really cruel. Didn't Tianyu just embezzle some money? Does he need to be so cruel? Which prince is not corrupt? Why did he treat my Tianyu like this?
Yu?"
Qingying hesitated and said: "I heard from Eunuch Xu that war horses are related to the foundation of the country. This time the eldest prince violated the foundation of the country, and the emperor will be angry."
"But don't worry too much, Madam. There have always been examples of princes being demoted to common people and then returned to the royal family. The emperor was just in a moment of anger. Maybe when he calms down, he will take it back."
"Besides, the emperor always values the empress. If the empress goes to plead for the eldest prince, the emperor might be soft-hearted and spare the eldest prince!"
"Impossible! The emperor always keeps his word, and usually he will not take back what he says. Besides, what Tianyu wants to do this time is the country. The country is the emperor's country. The emperor regards the country as his life. Even if I plead for mercy this time, he will not do anything.
use!"
After the queen finished speaking, she hated the iron and said, "Hey! It's true, Tianyu, how could such a good person touch the idea of a military horse farm? He wants money and asks me for it, and I won't refuse to give it to him. Why would he?
Are you going to take risks? I am really angry to death!"
At this point, the queen suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Qingying, after Tianyu was dismissed, who is in charge of the military horse farm now?"
"Eunuch Xu said that King Li suggested that the emperor hand over the military horse farm to Sanyu, so the emperor transferred Sanyu back and planned to let him continue to manage it," Qingying said.
"What? Give it to Chang Yu again?" the queen said, gritting her teeth, "So, the military horse farm is back in the hands of Prince Li again? So, Prince Li is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?"
At this point, she suddenly realized, "I know this! Prince Li is very close to Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping. These two people suddenly came out to impeach Tian Yu. It must have been ordered by Prince Li!"
Qingying also nodded, "Your Majesty is right, these generals are all from King Li. I think it must be King Li who set a trap for the eldest prince, and the eldest prince fell for it!"
