The emperor was ill, but he expelled the prince who was most qualified to inherit the throne from the capital. This is a very ridiculous thing no matter how you look at it.
Not to mention how much turmoil it will cause in the DPRK, I am afraid it will also cause some panic among the people.
However, what the King of Shu did this time was indeed a taboo, and the courtiers were not too surprised by His Majesty's decision.
In any case, that position still belongs to Your Majesty now. Although it will probably belong to the King of Shu in the future, the King of Shu cannot take it if Your Majesty does not give it to you.
Using behavior that is nothing less than rebellion to build momentum for oneself eventually leads to this result.
This time, he was not wronged at all.
"Leaving now?" Li Yi sighed, his tone a bit sad.
This is no ordinary petty quarrel. The King of Shu is going to rebel. There is no extravagant hope of dragging him out and beheading him. He has to deprive himself of the royal title, demote him to a commoner, and be exiled for three thousand miles. He will not be allowed to return to the capital for the rest of his life...
The old emperor was still too kind and lacked the courage of an emperor through the ages. This was not the first time he felt this way.
After watching the excitement, when he was about to go home, he saw a figure limping towards this side in the distance. Li Han was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "I have seen the emperor brother."
King Shu's expression was dull. He raised his head and glanced this way. Even when he saw Li Yi and Li Xuan, the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.
After all, compared with what just happened to him, some things are not worth mentioning.
Seeing the King of Shu lowering his head and not even looking at himself, Li Han scratched his head in confusion and waved, "Goodbye, brother!"
Goodbye, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Li Yi shook his head, turned around and walked out of the palace.
The tsundere loli yelled from behind, "Sir, wait for me, I'll go back and change a big box..."
After becoming a big girl, the old emperor seems to have really relaxed his discipline on the tsundere loli. His treatment is gradually getting closer to that of the eldest princess, and he doesn't even need to give special permission to leave the palace.
Outside a certain palace, while waiting for her to go in to change clothes and a big box, she accidentally glanced sideways and saw an archway. Two eunuchs dragged a man out and walked past him.
That man must have been tortured with a cane, his back was broken, and he looked like he was taking in too much air and leaving little.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A place like the palace seemed bright and majestic, but in fact there were many dark and dirty things going on secretly. Not only did overt and secret fighting happen between concubines, but sometimes even the princess would be involved.
Yongning and Tsundere Loli are still young now. When they are older, they will probably be exposed to some things more or less. With their ability, they will not be able to fight against those people. In two years, Her Royal Highness the Princess will
Now that the palace has moved out, the two of them, especially Yongning, are really uneasy.
While he was thinking about these things in his mind, in a certain palace not far from here, more than ten eunuchs and maidens stood in the courtyard, their heads lowered, their bodies trembling slightly, as silent as a chill.
The imperial concubine smashed all the precious vases in the palace early this morning. A servant who went in to clean up was hit with dozens of sticks and passed out. Even His Highness the King of Shu was slapped and scolded by the empress.
Less than half an hour.
At this moment, no one dared to approach the palace gate.
"We haven't lost yet!"
In the empty hall, the woman in palace clothes smashed the last precious porcelain, took out a sealed envelope from her sleeve, and said: "You go out of the palace and deliver this letter to the head of the family with your own hands."
Go up, and also, let him ask what the Qin family really means!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." A high-pitched voice came from the darkness. Someone came out, responded, and quickly disappeared into the hall.
…
…
Although the court is far away from ordinary people, some important events of the court cannot be hidden from the people of Kyoto.
They were not aware of the demotions or transfers of certain officials, but His Highness the King of Shu was about to leave Kyoto and go to the fiefdom. Not long after leaving the morning court, word spread throughout Kyoto at a whirlwind speed.
After all, the King of Shu is a popular figure in Kyoto these days. From being ridiculed by everyone and being called the "Rat King" to the series of omens, it all shows that he is the real Dragon Emperor.
Until today when I was expelled from Beijing, my experience in just a few days has been full of twists and turns.
Even the vendors in the vegetable market would chat with each other when they had nothing to do.
"Didn't it say that the emperor was going to pass the throne to the king of Shu? Why was he suddenly kicked out?"
"Who did you listen to when it came to passing on positions?"
"Everyone is saying, even the fox is saying, that the King of Shu should be the emperor, how can it be false?"
"Shit, you don't believe those words. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that those things were all done by the King of Shu himself. Anyone who believes that is a fool..."
"What, is this all done by the King of Shu himself?"
"Nonsense, otherwise, how could he be kicked out of the capital? Let me tell you, he is still too impatient..."
…
…
In just half a day, the "truth" of the matter spread among the people.
After people praised the King of Shu for a few days, they discovered that it turned out that the Rat King was still the same Rat King, and he had not changed at all. He had done so many things, and it turned out that he was deceiving them. Now, it was better. He deceived even the fox.
He lied, but he didn't lie to His Majesty. He was sent far away, and it was really like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
For this matter, even the government did not interfere much, but deliberately guided it.
After all, it doesn't matter whether this was done by the King of Shu or not. What is important is to eliminate the impact of this matter on the people as soon as possible. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it may cause big trouble.
Qi and Zhao already have envoys in Kyoto. If this matter is not settled as soon as possible, when they send the news back, the enemy will make a fuss about it, which will be very detrimental to the stability of the government.
This time the King of Shu and his lineage suffered heavy losses. Not only were their forces in the court purged, but they themselves were also far away from the center of power and went to the distant Shuzhou. They didn't know when they would be able to come back.
I don't know how many people in the DPRK have worked hard for more than ten years, but their efforts were ruined in an instant.
At this time, a middle-aged man in rich clothes stood at the door of Qin Mansion, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Qin Xiang is seriously ill, is it inconvenient to see guests?"
The servant of the Qin family said with a helpless look, "Please forgive me, distinguished guest."
The middle-aged man had a thoughtful look on his face and turned around and left after a while.
A person next to him asked with a worried look: "Master, what should we do now?"
"Go to Chen's house." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and whispered.
In Chen Guogong's Mansion, Chen Qing, the head of the family, had just welcomed a distinguished guest. The two of them had dismissed all the servants and had been talking deeply in the room for an entire hour.
Chen Chong, the second master of the Chen family, walked into a small courtyard with his hands behind his back. He met a maid, waved his hand and asked, "How is the young lady's health?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Back to the Second Master, I feel much better after getting up today. I obtained the Heart Sutra written by Master Tanyin at Hanshan Temple two days ago, and I am currently reciting the Sutra in the Buddhist hall. Do you want me to inform you?"
"Okay, I'll go there by myself, you go and do your work." Chen Chong waved his hand and continued walking into the courtyard.
He walked slowly outside the Buddhist hall and heard a low voice coming from inside, but did not bother him. After the sound disappeared, he walked in.
"Are there any guests at home today?" The white-haired, pretty woman knelt down on a futon and said softly.
"An important guest has come over and is talking to eldest brother." Chen rushed his head and said, "You have just recovered from the cold. You should have a good rest in the room."
The woman sighed and said, "The child Lixin is gone. I want to chant sutras for him. When he came to the house when he was a child, I hugged him. I didn't expect that things would be unpredictable..."
After Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, he said: "I have recited the sutra. Come, I will help you back to your room."
"Second brother, can you just stop here?" The woman lowered her head and suddenly whispered.
"What?" Chen Chong asked doubtfully.
"Can you just stop here?" The woman looked up at him and said in a trembling voice: "Stop embarrassing that child... Lixin, Lixin, his surname is Chen, you, how can you do it!"
Chen Chong's body trembled, his fists clenched and his nails dug into his flesh.
After a while, he sighed, came over, helped her smooth out a strand of hair from her temples, and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, my second brother will listen to you."
He looked at the woman with silver hair and a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. A smile appeared on her lips, but deep pain and hatred flashed in her eyes.
"The preparations are still a bit hasty." He sighed again and said in his heart.
[PS: There was a power outage at home during the day, and I haven’t figured out how to arrange the next plot yet, so this is the chapter today.]
