"Father! The third brother acts like this and doesn't take his son and ministers seriously at all. In his eyes, we brothers are all stumbling blocks in the road. The third brother is so cruel and kills his brothers again and again. How can he still do it?"
Is there any humanity?”
The prince looked at the third prince kneeling on the ground, his face filled with righteous indignation.
Gu Chengyu was complaining in his heart, this prince is also an actor.
It seems as if among the princes, except for the third prince, the other princes are all good-natured people.
Is it possible that the third prince is the only one who is ruthless? He can say that the other princes here wish that all the other princes in the world would die except for himself!
Including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the same is true.
"What do you mean? Do you want your third brother to die?"
The emperor's hands holding the armrest were trembling slightly. He regretted whether he should leave the matter to his second son to decide.
Unexpectedly, the second child became arrogant when he became the prince. When he starts to exercise the rights of the prince in the future, what about himself, the emperor? Is there any room for him to speak in the court?
The emperor's old eyes were like hawks, fixed on the prince.
No! If the prince becomes more powerful, then in the future this court will no longer be his own.
"Father! The third brother is so cruel to my son. If he says he doesn't mind, it must be a lie. However, my son is not the kind of person who doesn't care about brotherhood. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and the punishment will be severe.
It is necessary. Do you think what my father said is reasonable?"
The prince's words made the officials present couldn't help but nod their heads. The prince finally relented.
However, the prince did not indulge the third prince blindly, but proposed severe punishment. This shows that the prince is not only kind-hearted, but also not soft-tempered.
"Your Majesty! I think what His Highness the Crown Prince said is true! The actions of the third prince are unforgivable, whether according to the law or according to human feelings! The prince has a kind heart and is willing to let the third prince live. But the third prince is a criminal after all.
You have made a big mistake, and your Majesty must not forgive you lightly, otherwise you will regret it in the future."
As the uncle of the state, Shen Shikang should avoid suspicion, so he has not expressed his position from just now until now.
But he really saw that no matter how much the emperor embarrassed the prince and forced him so hard, not only would the prince lose face, but they, the Shen family, would also lose face.
"Father, my son has a suggestion. However, the final decision must be made by my father."
The prince thought for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea.
The emperor nodded slightly, "Oh? You said it!"
"Father! The reason why the third brother behaves like this is because he has too much anger and greed in his heart. Why not hand over the third brother to the abbot master of Bao'en Temple? The abbot master's Dharma is profound and he will definitely be able to influence the third brother.
He sincerely regrets it."
The prince glanced at the uneasy third prince and said seriously.
Gu Chengyu opened his mouth wide and looked at His Royal Highness in front of him in astonishment.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed out loud.
Let Buddhism influence the third prince, resolve the hostility in his heart, and finally become a compassionate and eminent monk?
High, this move is really high!
He thought that the prince would say that the third prince would be imprisoned in the clan mansion for life, but he did not expect that the other party would actually come up with this method.
It really makes people laugh and cry, but at the same time it makes them wary.
What is the purpose of the prince doing this? Is it just to allow the third prince to escape into Buddhism?
But if the person is imprisoned in the sect's house and cannot leave the house for life, wouldn't it be more relieving?
The guards in the Zongren Mansion are strict, so there is no need to worry that the third prince will have evil intentions and cause trouble again.
"What? Do you mean to let the third child escape into the void?"
The emperor and the eldest prince looked over with surprised eyes. Not only them, but everyone in the hall felt very dumb.
Prince Jing looked at the prince up and down. Only now did he realize that the prince was not a great person, so he had to look at the prince again.
Although he didn't know why the prince asked the third child to escape into Buddhism, he felt that the prince had his own intention in doing so.
As for using Buddhism to influence others, it is simply a joke and sounds very ridiculous.
"Father! It is a good thing for my third brother to become a monk. Rather than being imprisoned in the clan's mansion for life and then dying in depression in the mansion, it is better for my third brother to experience the power of Buddhism to save all sentient beings and to influence him."
The prince said with a normal expression under the surprised gazes of everyone.
The third prince looked at the prince with surprise, a monk? No! He doesn't want to become a monk, he doesn't want to!
To become a monk is to cut off the world of mortals and the seven emotions and six desires, so that he can no longer be contaminated by the slightest bit of the world in the future. How can he live in this way?
The emperor originally thought this matter was too ridiculous, but after hearing what the prince said, he actually felt it was very reasonable.
Rather than imprisoning the third child in the sect's mansion, it would be better to let the third child become a monk.
Anyway, the third child already has an heir, so there is no need to worry about the death of the third child.
In the previous dynasty, two princes committed suicide by drinking doves after being imprisoned in the clan mansion.
Because they can't bear to lose their power, lose their freedom, and have nothing to do all day long.
In the end, seeing no hope of being released, he committed suicide.
Gu Chengyu felt that the clan's mansion was a good place to torture people. After all, for the mistakes the third prince committed, as long as he entered the clan's mansion, he would definitely not be able to leave the mansion again in this life.
Being locked up in a square courtyard, I could only see a patch of sky every day when I looked up.
Facing the same people and doing the same things every day will drive people crazy.
Could it be that the prince is not satisfied with this? What benefit can it bring to the prince if the third prince becomes a monk? It is better to stay in the clan's mansion and feel at ease.
However, Gu Chengyu then thought of something. The supervision of the Zongren Mansion is naturally very strict, and there are dedicated people responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Even if the third prince still doesn't give up, he can't contact the outside world, so there is nothing he can do.
But the people outside are also helpless towards the third prince. Can the prince and the others rest assured that the third prince is alive?
Who knows if the emperor will feel compassion again one day and suddenly release the third prince from the clan mansion?
After all, this was not the case in the previous dynasty. Some princes came and went several times, and finally ended up in the fiefdom.
It would be better for the prince to put the third prince under his nose and kill him if there is any abnormal movement.
Besides, once this matter comes out, both the third prince's backyard and the third prince's heirs will have to be imprisoned in the clan mansion.
It would be too cheap for the third prince to let his whole family stay together.
It is impossible to say that the third prince will try his best to destroy the boat and become a benevolent person if he fails?
Then why not separate them and have the third prince's heir as a hostage? Are you afraid that the third prince won't be obedient?
Gu Chengyu gasped, this prince really should not be underestimated!
"Father! This matter has not happened before in the previous dynasty. I think the prince's suggestion is very good!"
