In the small town of Yujiaping, Wei Zhan had read the secret report from the capital, and it was not as serious as he thought. No matter how much trouble the Crown Prince Xuan Le and the ministers made, it seemed that everything was still under the control of Emperor Cheng Wu. Look.
It seems that Prince Jing has not yet taken action on what Zhu Tianjiang said. However, Wei Zhan was also a little confused. He felt that even if the crown prince was changed, Emperor Cheng Wu would not let Zhu Tianjiang go.
Wei Zhan also knew that Xuanzhu had a good relationship with Zhu Tiansheng, but compared with the country and the country, it was clear which one was more important. How could Emperor Cheng Wu keep such a scourge?
The day after Wei Zhan received the secret report, another major incident occurred in the capital. Since Prince Jing drove away the personnel of the Crown Prince Palace in various yamen, Xuan Le did not relax his supervision of the Ministry of War. Every day, the Crown Prince
People from the palace still went to the lobby of the Ministry of War to ask for the texts of memorials from various places.
Ordinarily, the officials of the Ministry of War were used to it, and they were just copying one more copy. Besides, the crown prince did have this right, and they had nothing to say. But this time, Li Hong, the minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly got into trouble. Not only did he not give the memorial text, but he also ordered it on the spot.
The people from the Crown Prince Palace were beaten out.
At this time, Li Hong's behavior angered the crown prince Xuan Le. Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been different. Li Hong's behavior is tantamount to a slap in the face of the royal family. Xuan Le certainly will not tolerate it. Xuan Le led a team of guards and came in person
The Ministry of War questioned Li Hong.
In the past, if Li Hong knew he was in the wrong, he would definitely say good things with a smile on his face. But this time, Li Hong felt as if he had been beaten to death. He actually quarreled with Xuan Le. During the quarrel, Xuan Le became angry and wanted to pull Li Hong away.
He went to meet his father for review. As a result, Li Hong blocked Xuan Le's arm, and Xuan Le pushed him smoothly. Li Hong, Minister of War, slipped and fell to the ground. Not only did he fall, but his head hit the table.
Li Hong's face was immediately covered with blood when he got the tiger's head on his leg.
Xuan Le didn't expect this. Just when Xuan Le was shocked, Li Hong shouted loudly, saying that the crown prince committed the crime and beat the old minister. Xuan Le wanted to defend himself, but who knew that after Li Hong shouted this, his legs stared.
I fainted all of a sudden.
Li Hong was not young anymore, and Xuan Le was a little confused. He really thought that he had accidentally pushed Li Hong to the ground just now. Xuan Le was also afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly had someone carry him to the Tai Hospital.
Just as several Crown Prince Palace guards drove the carriage into the palace gate, Li Hong woke up in an instant, jumped off the carriage and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. Crown Prince Xuanle committed murder and beat me."
After shouting, Li Hong lost his usual official dignity and etiquette and ran away towards the clan's mansion.
In the imperial palace, Prince Jing invited Taifu Wang and other senior ministers to advise them not to argue with the crown prince anymore. At this moment, the official came to report that Mr. Li Hong was running around the palace with blood on his face.
He was standing there, and someone from the Crown Prince's Palace was chasing him.
When King Jing heard this, he and a group of veterans ran out to see what happened. When King Jing saw Li Hong's face covered with blood, he couldn't help being frightened, thinking that this old guy really risked his life.
Well, it would be really unfair if the fake show really happened and I was killed.
Wang Bingkun and other veterans had no idea what was going on. When they heard Li Hong angrily say that Xuan Le was the one who beat him, they immediately aroused the anger of the crowd.
Prince Jing pretended to be angry and glared at the chasing guards from the Crown Prince's Palace, "Tell me, is it Xuan Le's murder?"
"My lord, I misunderstood. My master didn't hit me, he just pushed me." A guard said cautiously.
Prince Jing was overjoyed. This was done. All the veterans behind him could hear clearly. Not only fontstyle="float:left;line-height:0;font-size:0;overflow:hidden;width:20px ;"Look,*book)*下载在线]/font They, even the palace guards and eunuchs who were watching the excitement heard it. In their minds, this was not pushing at all, it was simply beating. Otherwise, why would there be so much blood?
From Li Hong's body, the old ministers seemed to see their own shadow, and they were all furious. Under the leadership of the old master Wang Bingkun, they rushed towards Qiangong.
Prince Jing did not go with them, but ordered the people from the Crown Prince's Palace to retreat, and personally helped Li Hong walk to the Taiyuan Hospital.
"I said, Lao Li, you really don't want your life, how could you do this?" Prince Jing asked in a low voice.
"It's okay. Compared with the battlefield back then, this is not an injury at all." Li Hong looked away from the blood on his face and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Your old bones are no longer what they used to be. You can't stand the hardship." Prince Jing said with emotion.
"My lord, I have put my family and my life at risk. If you don't get Xuan Le down, I will move to the palace and never leave."
Li Hong was really willing to take risks this time. He knew that if Xuan Le became emperor in the future, even if he was dissatisfied with the execution of his family, he would probably be exiled thousands of miles away. King Jing sighed secretly. He couldn't afford the sword for Dafeng. During this time, he had used all kinds of methods to deal with the disaster. Just for the Xuan Le matter, he had forced the Minister of War to such an extent that he almost killed himself.
Emperor Chengwu was in the Qian palace giving instructions on the memorial. Hearing that the old ministers were kneeling outside to remonstrate again, he was so angry that he wished he could throw the brush in his hand at the face of the eunuch who was reporting.
"Kneel down and remonstrate. What else can they do besides kneeling down and remonstrating? Do I have to do everything in the world personally? Then what's the use of them? Wei Zhenghai, go and call Prince Jing to handle it. I don't have time to see them. "Emperor Chengwu didn't even ask the reason and directly asked Wei Zhenghai to find Prince Jing.
After a while, I saw Wei Zhenghai running back in a panic, "Master, something big may have happened this time. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Xuan Le has beaten Li Hong. When I went there just now, Prince Jing Qiantai was accompanying him. Mr. Li is dressing the wound, it’s terrible, his face is covered in blood.” Wei Zhenghai said exaggeratedly.
Emperor Chengwu was shocked, "Le'er beat Li Hong? What is going on?"
"Going back to the master, I heard from King Jing, Chitose, that it was because the slaves from the Crown Prince's Palace went to the Ministry of War to ask for discounts. Mr. Li thought they were a bit arrogant and said a few words. Who knew that those slaves didn't know how to report to the master after they returned? He actually angered His Highness Xuan Le. And then~!" Wei Zhenghai paused slightly and looked at Emperor Cheng Wu carefully.
"What happened next? Tell me."
"Then His Royal Highness Xuan Le led his guards to the door and beat Mr. Li severely."
Emperor Chengwu slapped the table in anger, causing the teacups and lids to jingle on the table. Emperor Chengwu didn't know that Wei Zhenghai was dictating what Prince Jing said, and he thought that was the truth.
Before Emperor Chengwu could say anything, the eunuch came to report that it was Prince Jing who wanted to see him. Emperor Chengwu quickly called Prince Jing to come in. He was about to ask Wei Zhenghai to look for him again.
"My dear brother, see your royal brother~!"
"You're welcome, tell me what's going on." Prince Jing waved his hand, meaning that there was no need to salute, and if you have anything to say, please speak quickly.
With a face filled with grief and indignation, Prince Jing recounted the 'cause and effect' as if telling a story. Emperor Chengwu was so angry that he immediately asked Wei Zhenghai to pass on Xuan Le to the palace.
While Wei Zhenghai was going to pass on Xuanle, Prince Jing looked at Emperor Chengwu and sighed and said, "Brother, I have nothing to do with this matter. The old ministers outside are very passionate, and I can't persuade them.
"
This time, Emperor Chengwu did not blame Prince Jing like before. Emperor Chengwu sighed and said dullly, "It seems that I indulged Le'er too much. There are some things that he did not be calm enough."
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, he shouted to the outside below, "Come here, tell the old master Wang Bingkun to enter the palace."
Emperor Chengwu knew that he had to appease these old ministers first, and now things were getting more and more intense, which was beyond his expectation. Emperor Chengwu originally wanted to take this opportunity to practice his ability to control Xuanle, but now that it has developed, I am afraid that
It won't work if he doesn't stop it.
The old master Wang Bingkun followed the eunuch and walked in. Seeing that the old master was about to salute, Emperor Cheng Wu said quickly.
"Old master, you don't need to be polite. If you come, please sit down."
Wang Bingkun seemed not to have heard, and still shouted loudly with a straight face, "Your Majesty, Wang Bingkun, long live my emperor! Long live the emperor!" Wang Bingkun said, and completed the greeting etiquette seriously.
Emperor Chengwu grimaced, thinking that if the old man was serious, he would be in trouble, "Old Master, get up, do you want me to help you up myself?"
"I dare not, Your Majesty, Crown Prince Xuan Le beats up an important minister in the court. If this matter is not severely punished, I and the old minister will never give up." Wang Bingkun said seriously.
Emperor Chengwu frowned, "Old Master, I have just heard about this. I promise you that if it is Leer's fault, I will definitely reprimand him severely."
When King Jing heard this, he thought that he wanted to do something bad. If Emperor Chengwu really wanted to appease the old ministers and reprimanded or slapped Xuan Le a few times, all the previous efforts would have been wasted. What these old ministers want is face, and as long as Xuan Le admits his mistake and gives face, they will
It would subside. At this stage, it was Li Hong who should have come forward to propose the abolition of the crown prince, but now that Li Hong was in the imperial hospital, Prince Jing asked him to take a break before coming back.
Prince Jing rolled his eyes and took a few steps forward, "I say, old master, don't kneel down to remonstrate at every turn. The emperor has many things to deal with every day. If there is anything you can't talk to him about, why do you need to kneel down to remonstrate?"
When Emperor Chengwu heard this, he thought to himself that it was his younger brother who was looking for him, and it would be better for Prince Jing to say this than him.
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old. We kneel down to express our determination. We, the ministers, will never give up until this matter is resolved." Wang Bingkun said in his heart, you are a confused prince and you know how to make peace with him.
Prince Jing chuckled, "Okay, okay, I say, old master, please get those people outside up and stop kneeling. The emperor has already said that he will reprimand Xuan Le, so why must he depose the crown prince?"
Besides, after deposing Xuan Le, how can we let Xuan Zhu become the crown prince?" Prince Jing said with his hands behind his back and shaking his head.
Wang Bingkun was stunned. Prince Jing's words seemed to wake up the old master. Although they fought with Xuan Le during this period, they did not think about changing the crown prince. When Prince Jing said this, Wang Bingkun seemed to suddenly become enlightened.
Since the trouble with Xuan Le has been like this, and the fourth prince Xuan Zhu has performed very well recently, it is better to take this opportunity to depose the crown prince and re-establish Xuan Zhu as the crown prince.
Wang Bingkun knelt down again with a pop, raised the bamboo pole in his hand and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, we and other ministers request that Xuan Le be deposed as the Crown Prince and His Highness Xuan Zhu be re-established as the Crown Prince."
Emperor Chengwu stamped his feet angrily and said to himself, Prince Jing, Prince Jing, have you eaten too much to hold yourself up? Why do you fart so much?
In the Marquis Hall of Qian Palace, Xuan Le just walked outside the palace gate. When he heard this, Xuan Le was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning!
