"What Mr. Chen said makes sense. Prince Jing is better than the crown prince no matter what!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too. King Jing has always been a wise man, and he will definitely be able to manage Daqian well in the future!"
"As expected of Emperor Zhenwu's decision, it is a safe one!"
The voices supporting King Jing were almost overwhelming, and there were even no voices speaking for the prince.
The reason why this happened was mainly because King Jing had a really good reputation among the people.
The prince was indeed a bit naughty in his early years. His reputation among the people was as good as that of Li Changkong in his early years. He was a bully.
There are even rumors that if their names combined, they are the beings who can stop children from crying at night!
Just like this, how can you compare with Liu Jing?
Furthermore, Liu Jing was grounded for a period of time, but he was not dead.
The fundamentals in the court have almost been lost, but the folk ones are still there!
So Ziyi’s idea is indeed just right!
"What does the emperor mean?" Wang Yuanwai stood up again, looked at Chen Qianyuan, and asked.
Chen Qianyuan pursed his lips and said the sentence he had been preparing for a long time: "The emperor means to depose the prince and establish King Jing!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Taoist Master, although we think Prince Jing is better than the Crown Prince, it is your Majesty who decides who succeeds!"
"We... can we still rebel?"
Such a sentence expresses the deepest worries in everyone's hearts.
Some people, not as terminally ill as Wang Yuanwai, would not rise up in the name of deposing the crown prince and establishing King Jing just for a word from the so-called Emperor Zhenwu.
Chen Qianyuan had already expected this, so he stood up and said, "This is wrong!"
"How could the Emperor let you rebel?"
"Your Majesty is a wise king who cares about the people and values public opinion."
"As long as we show our attitude and let His Majesty see the will of the people in the world, won't it be possible to dethrone the crown prince and establish King Jing?"
"Why did you do the decapitating thing?"
As soon as these words came out, most people's concerns were completely dispelled.
It turns out that it's just a show of attitude, so that's no problem. Showing one's attitude won't cost you any money. After death, you can still go to heaven and be among the immortals. Why not?
The king was so excited that he slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Depose the prince, establish King Jing!"
When the pilgrims heard this, they looked at each other.
Then they shouted one by one: "Depose the crown prince and establish King Jing!"
For a time, followers gathered in the entire lecture hall.
Even the young Taoist priests who initially thought something was wrong with Chen Qianyuan became excited and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Depose the prince, establish King Jing!"
When Chen Qianyuan saw this, he raised his lips without any trace.
I feel like a big deal has been accomplished!
He spent most of his life in Tianyi Sect.
The most virtuous and respected person in the entire Tianyi Sect is his master, the leader of the Tianyi Sect—Zhang Hongfa!
And he felt that the reason why the master could be the leader of Tianyi Sect and the reason why he was so virtuous and highly respected was entirely because of his other identity: the imperial ennobled Master Hongfa!
Zhenren, just two words, is the lifelong vision of countless cultivators.
Because Zhenren is the only orthodox Taoist recognized by the imperial court!
During festivals, or when a noble person in the palace celebrates his or her birthday, people will be sent to invite the real person into the palace to perform rituals and lectures!
If a Taoist priest can achieve this level, his life will be truly worthwhile.
Therefore, Chen Qianyuan’s biggest goal in this life is to become a real person conferred by the imperial court just like his master Zhang Hongfa!
But, how difficult it is!
Zhang Hongfa's position as a real person was conferred by the late emperor.
The late emperor was mediocre, and he liked to seek out immortals and ask questions, so he often did ridiculous things such as not going to court for half a month.
Under such a dynastic background, although it is difficult to seal a real person, it is definitely not hopeless.
But the current emperor is a wise king who works diligently and loves his people!
On weekdays, there is no time to deal with official affairs, and there are not even many children, so where can I find the time to ask the immortal?
Of course, this is the best thing for all the people in the world. But it only hurts them, the Taoists, and Chen Qianyuan!
If this continues, he is afraid that he will never become Qianyuan Master in this life!
But...everything has a turning point!
When you think something is too difficult to accomplish, there will often be someone to help you!
And he, Chen Qianyuan, met a noble person!
In the next few days, Chen Qianyuan came to the Sutra Lecture Hall to give lectures almost every day.
The routine is exactly the same. First, he uses his eloquent tongue to tell the story of Emperor Zhenwu vividly, and then cooperates with a few pre-prepared fanatics to incite many pilgrims.
After several days in a row, the residents at the foot of Wugong Mountain were almost completely fooled by him.
Ever since, Chen Qianyuan decided to move towards Qiandu City!
Started my own Qiandu city tour lecture meeting!
And this person's eloquence is indeed remarkable, and he can trigger a big wave almost everywhere he goes.
In less than half a month, the four quarters of Qiandu City were turned upside down.
For a time, the streets and alleys of Qiandu City were filled with Emperor Zhenwu issuing decrees to depose the crown prince and establish King Jing.
Such a voice is so loud!
…
It's day and night!
Warm Pavilion.
Emperor Jing Xing was reviewing the memorial as usual.
It's almost midsummer now and the weather is hot.
In addition, the war in Yizhou continued and the consumption of food and grass was huge, which made Emperor Jingxing extremely upset.
I don't even dare to use ice cubes to relieve the heat. I just want to add more savings to the treasury.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jia wants to see you." At this moment, Zheng Ying walked in from the door and whispered into Emperor Jing Xing's ear.
"Master Jia came here late at night. There must be something big happening. Please come in quickly!"
"promise!"
After a while, Jia Pingsheng walked in with a sad look on his face, bowed his hands and said, "I see you, Your Majesty."
"Master Jia came here late at night without any courtesy, but there is something big going on?"
"It is a big matter, related to the foundation of the country. It's just that it's hard to say. It's better for Your Majesty to decide for yourself." As he said that, Jia Pingsheng took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, on which he recorded what he had done these days. There are various opinions in the capital about deposing the crown prince and establishing King Jing.
"Zheng Ying, bring it up."
"No!" Zheng Ying heard the words and stepped forward to take the paper. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a few words and immediately frowned and lowered his head, not daring to read any more.
This matter concerning the Crown Prince and Prince Jing is His Majesty's family matter. It is inconvenient for them, ministers or servants, to see more of it, no matter how good their relationship is.
This is why Jia Pingsheng, even as the chief minister, felt that it was not easy to intervene in this matter and let Emperor Jing Xing see it himself.
Emperor Jing Xing took the paper from Zheng Ying and read it.
After a while, his brows furrowed and his face became increasingly ugly.
boom!
After reading it, he slapped the document and said angrily: "How brave!"
