"Who does he think he is? It's his turn to point fingers at the purple clothes given by my emperor?" Ming Chengzu was furious, slamming the memorial in his hand on the table, "I have only been in charge of the country for a few days, but I really think that I am
Emperor Ming? I am not dead yet, I am still sitting on the dragon throne!"
A murderous look gradually appeared on the majestic face.
"Your Majesty, calm down the fire." Xiao Chen said hurriedly, "The prince may be because purple clothes represent imperial power. As a foreigner, I am not suitable to get involved in purple. How dare he ignore you, the emperor? In his eyes,
Although I will be the emperor in the future, after all, I am just the prince now, how dare I make any mistakes."
What seemed to be words of comfort to the emperor sounded to Ming Chengzu's ears, but they were like adding fuel to the fire. The idea of changing the crown prince came back into his mind.
As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. But if you take your position as prince, who in the world would dare to say no?
I have devoted my whole life to the Ming Dynasty, and I was given a unicorn purple dress by the emperor. You have to point at it. This is called a self-inflicted crime.
The veins on Ming Chengzu's forehead bulged out.
"I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all my life, but I have not disciplined my son well. I am afraid he will become a laughing stock in the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the courtiers have different opinions, I will allow them to raise them, let alone the prince.
"As a prince, you should distinguish right from wrong and set an example for the courtiers. Even if you are dissatisfied with the purple clothes given by the emperor, you can tell me directly and straightforwardly that you can't do it, and you have to engage in some conspiracy." Ming Chengzu seemed a little heartbroken.
Xiao Chen smiled and gently pushed the tea bowl on the table forward.
"The emperor is still young. Perhaps he was bewitched by others to do something that made the emperor angry. As long as he can change, the emperor will give him a chance."
"Xiao, you say he is still young? He is already forty-three this year, and he already has grandchildren, and you say he is young?" Ming Chengzu gave Xiao Chen a fierce look.
Why is it that this person who handles cases with such meticulous thinking seems more and more outrageous every time he says something?
Xiao Chen chuckled: "The prince is not young, but he has grown up under your care. He has never withstood any hardships. A person who is pampered in every way has no sense of gratitude and is arrogant.
It’s normal. It’s just that the emperor will strictly manage it in the future, and it will be just around the corner for the prince to become a great leader.”
Leaning back on the chair, Ming Chengzu glanced at Xiao Chen with disdain: "You mean he can be a late bloomer? Look at his fat body. He can't walk easily. He will have to be carried when he goes to court. What's wrong with him?
This is the form an emperor should have, this is a piece of trash."
The human mind is really strange and difficult to fathom.
It is said that a person loves a house and a bird. But once you reject someone in your heart, all the advantages of the other person will become shortcomings, and the original shortcomings will be infinitely magnified and unforgivable.
Poor Zhu Gaochi was lying in the Dongchang Prison, undergoing Xiao Chen's "bone-setting surgery". His father had already scolded him as worthless.
"Then according to the emperor's intention, which prince has the appearance of an emperor?" Xiao Chen asked thoughtfully.
In one sentence, Ming Chengzu was stunned and a little unable to answer the question.
Both the King of Han and King Zhao were both brave and capable, more in line with Ming Chengzu's image of an emperor. However, he had completely relegated them to the "cold palace".
At this moment, if you say that they have the status of emperors, you are giving yourself a slap in the face.
But this prince really made me very angry, and the idea of abolishing it became stronger and stronger in my heart.
"I am very confused about this. Seeing that my health is getting worse day by day, and it is still unclear who will hand over the country of Ming Dynasty. On this point, I am a failed emperor." Ming Chengzu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xiao Chen understood that Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty had an extremely strong idea of abolishing the crown prince. The only thing missing was a suggestion from others. As long as there is a voice in favor of abolishing the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince may really be lost.
Xiao Chen, who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families, although he did not have any lofty ideals or the feelings of a saint, he could really see the suffering of the people.
As long as an emperor thinks more about the people, he is a good emperor.
As for hypocrisy and conspiracy, they are just a means to achieve political goals, not the ultimate goal.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was brutal and killed without blinking an eye. He was very similar to Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. However, he did not have the courage of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the talent and strategy of the Ming Dynasty, so he was not a suitable candidate for the emperor.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is not that cruel, but he also has no brains. Being a prince is more than enough, but being an emperor really cannot govern a country.
Although the prince's figure is not what normal people see, his brain just makes up for it. In addition, with his honest and honest character, he will definitely put the people's affairs first when he inherits the throne.
Although his body is not as good as his two younger brothers, he can govern the country with his brain, not his limbs.
Therefore, this prince cannot be deposed.
"The results of many years of supervising the country all show that the prince still has the ability to govern the world. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. If the emperor thinks more about the prince's strengths, you will find that he is actually your only qualified heir."
Chen suppressed his smile and said with a serious face.
"He targeted you behind your back and asked you to take off your purple clothes, and you still speak for him?" Ming Chengzu seemed a little unwilling to believe his ears.
He hoped that what Xiao Chen said would be the King of Han or King Zhao, who was suitable to be his successor.
"Your Majesty," Xiao Chen cupped his hand, "As for the subordinates, it is only the prince's private matter. Even if the subordinates are asked to take off their purple clothes, in the eyes of the subordinates, it is the prince's expression of safeguarding the royal power, and they can all understand it.
. But none of these things can erase the achievements he made while supervising the country. What you are asking is who is more suitable to be your successor and continue to govern the Ming Dynasty. I can only tell the truth. "
After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Ming Chengzu reviewed the performance of the three princes over the past ten years one by one in his mind, and the anger on his face gradually calmed down.
"Having said that, I still don't want those scheming people in the East Palace to continue to appear in the East Palace." As a last resort, Ming Chengzu changed the topic.
Xiao Chen chuckled and moved closer to the case: "Although it is not easy for the court to train officials, sometimes you have to accept some facts. The emperor will never see these officials who participated in the prince's family banquet."
Ming Chengzu was stunned: "Have you dealt with them all?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said with regret: "How can my subordinates be so cruel? I wanted to persuade them to change their ways, but they committed suicide one by one out of fear of crime!"
Ming Chengzu's face twitched.
When did people start committing suicide in droves out of fear of crime?
