Chapter seven hundred and sixty-ninth twists and turns
Bachelor Zhang's words were very euphemistic, but his meaning was expressed clearly.
He could teach King Run who was still young and whose mind was not yet fully mature, but there was nothing he could do for King Duan who was already an adult.
In other words, King Duan is hopeless.
Academician Zhang accidentally mentioned King Run today, and the seed that had been buried in Chen Huang's heart began to take root and sprout.
It is the royal patriarchal law to pass the legacy on to the direct descendant rather than to the concubine, and to pass on the elder rather than the younger. The queen died young and did not give birth to a prince, so there is no possibility of passing it on to the legitimate son.
The three princes, King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai, are of similar age and can all be regarded as elders. If these three were here, it would be unlikely that this position would be passed on to King Run.
The person he most wanted to pass on to the throne was King Duan. However, after King Duan took office, he became complacent and arrogant, and his actions disappointed him extremely. It was impossible to pass on the great power of Chen State to a person without talent and virtue.
If it really comes to that point, if this position is taken over by King Run, it will be much better than King Duan.
But before he was completely disappointed with King Duan, he could not give up hope.
Emperor Chen was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Wei Jian and said: "In accordance with the Imperial Academy's decree, Prince Kang will be restored to the throne..."
…
Although Tang Ning did not go to Shangshu Province, she also knew that in the past few days, rumors about King Duan and his party impeaching him were flying everywhere.
He didn't feel anything about it, but he just guessed that Emperor Chen might be helpless towards his silly son. An old fox like him actually gave birth to a pig. Only he could understand this feeling.
Tang Ning did not wait to hear what Emperor Chen would do with these pieces of information, but only waited for an oral message from the eunuch.
If he does not go to Shangshu Province after three days, Emperor Chen will let him recover from his real injury for three months.
In addition, he also heard some surprising news.
Emperor Chen issued an imperial edict to restore King Kang's position as prince, and King Kang became a prince again from heir.
Although whether these princes are heirs or princes depends on Chen Huang's thoughts, he is the emperor and will not treat it as a game. He will be demoted today and promoted tomorrow. Whatever he does, he has his own purpose.
And his purpose this time is not difficult to guess.
He was telling Prince Duan clearly that if you can take the throne, you can sit on it, but if you can't, there will be others.
When King Kang was the heir, it was most beneficial to King Duan, because no one competed with him for the crown prince position. When King Kang resumed his throne, the one who suffered the greatest impact was also King Duan.
This meant that all their previous efforts were in vain. King Kang was still the same King Kang. King Duan had just stepped into the East Palace with one foot. When he turned around, he discovered that King Kang had also stepped in with one foot.
Although King Kang now has almost nothing, the Tang family is gone, and King Duan is not much better than him. In the past few years, the two kings have fought for the heir, and there have been many conspiracies and plans. After going round and round, everything has returned to normal.
Reached the starting point.
Of course, even the starting point is very different from before.
Three years ago, King Duan and King Kang were evenly matched. The two formed cliques in the court. One gathered the powerful and the other made friends with civil servants.
Three years later, King Duan and King Kang were evenly matched. They both had almost nothing. King Kang had nothing, and neither did King Duan. Their fates were completely controlled by Emperor Chen.
Even Tang Ning had to admit that although Prince Duan and Prince Kang were such wastes, their fathers could be called heroes of their generation.
Including the crown prince, the entire court was under his control.
He used Jiangnan to balance the capital, and Kang to balance the Duanwang. Without destroying this balance, he could infinitely weaken the power of both parties and strengthen the centralization of power...
The scary thing is that in this process, the two parties have ups and downs, wins and losses, and they are completely unaware that although they are still evenly matched, someone has already benefited behind the scenes...
The news that King Kang had been restored to the throne was like a hurricane, sweeping through the capital in an instant.
Compared with this incident, the Marquis Dingguo's fall from grace, which caused a lot of commotion in the past two days, is nothing.
After King Kang was demoted to the heir apparent, everyone from the officials to the common people thought that the battle for the right to inherit the throne had come to an end. Who could have imagined that a year later, things would turn around like this?
Your Majesty will not reinstate King Kang for no reason. The only explanation is that his intention to establish the crown prince was shaken. King Duan's performance made him extremely disappointed, and he had to consider bringing King Kang into his eyes again.
Of course, this may also be a blow to King Duan. Since he no longer has King Kang as his opponent, King Duan has acted more and more unscrupulously. He needs an opponent to calm himself down.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable. No matter what the reasons were for His Majesty to make this decree, the already clear position of the Crown Prince became confusing again.
Prince Duan's Mansion.
"What is this, what is this!"
King Duan's face turned pale with anger, his body trembled, and he smashed everything he could see in his eyes. He was breathing heavily, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
He thought that he had taken one step ahead of King Kang and sat in that position, but he did not expect that the prince's throne lost by King Kang could be regained. In this case, wouldn't all the advantages he had gained so far become a dream?
This feeling of falling into dust from the clouds made him not only angry, but also terrified.
At this time, a servant of the royal palace walked in and whispered: "Your Highness, two Tang lords would like to see you."
"No!" King Duan waved his hand and said loudly: "Let him go back, I will not see anyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Huai strode in from outside and asked, "You don't see anyone, and you don't want the throne anymore?"
Prince Duan looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, Father!"
Tang Huai looked at him and said gloomily: "Concubine Hui asked me to ask Your Highness, what do you mean?"
King Duan's expression changed and he said, "I..."
Tang Huai did not give Prince Duan any face, and said with a cold face: "I asked you to stay in the palace well, who asked you to impeach King Huai, who asked you to impeach Tang Ning, and you ended up today not because of others, but because of
Your own stupidity!"
"Do you think you will be safe if King Kang becomes the heir?"
"Your Majesty hasn't passed on the title of crown prince to you yet, so you don't know how much you weigh?"
"Don't say you are not the prince yet. Even if you have already taken the position of prince, His Majesty can take it back at any time!"
"Concubine Hui has done so much for you, and the Tang family has lost so much for you. Because of your stupidity, all our hard work has been in vain!"
…
Tang Huai's face was extremely gloomy, and every sound became more severe. King Duan knew that this was what his mother-in-law meant, and his face became even paler. Finally, he became depressed and asked: "What should I do?"
"You have to admit when you make mistakes, and you have to stand firm when you are beaten..." Tang Zhao stood behind Tang Qi and Tang Huai and interjected: "A fool, as long as he does nothing, others will not see that he is a fool. Don't worry about the court." For things in class, read more and read more newspapers, and enrich yourself more..."
"Shut up!" Tang Qi glared at him, turned to look at Prince Duan, and said: "Now we can only take one step at a time. In my opinion, His Majesty just wants to beat you, not to establish Prince Kang as the crown prince. Thoughts, but if you don’t listen to advice, insist on going your own way, and continue to do such stupid things, the fate of King Kang before will be your fate..."
Although he was judged as stupid by others, King Duan could not refute this fact at present. He gritted his teeth unwillingly and said: "I know..."
Tang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now we can only wait and see what His Majesty will do next..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant from the palace hurriedly walked in and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned..."
