Eunuch Emperor Wu, sweeping the floor in the cold palace for 100 years

Chapter 26: King Xin reads the sacrificial speech, and the whole world is shocked

Under the stern gaze of the Emperor Qi, Xu Wenyu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, according to the fasting law, those who drink alcohol during the fasting period will be sentenced to ten years of hard labor. Common people, concubines are thrown into the cold palace"

"What about the prince's drinking during the fast?"

Qi Huang asked in a deep voice.

"Drinking alcohol during the fasting period is considered disrespectful to the heavens. The prince is the heir of the emperor, which means that he is not worthy of virtue. Your Majesty should abolish the prince as a punishment, and issue an imperial edict to tell the world."

Xu Wenyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, had already fought his way out, and said loudly in accordance with the law of Tongzhai.

The whole place went quiet.

The people present were all smart people, and they had already seen what Qi Huang wanted to do.

But many people are worried, because they know that a great chaos may break out from within the court.

Although the prince drank during the fasting period, his conduct was bad, there is no doubt about it.

But the position of the prince is not so easy to abolish.

Even a few years ago, Qi Huang often had the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince, but they didn't succeed.

Rumor has it that the ancestor of the eunuch, Lord Wu, has been resigned, and Emperor Qi has lost his greatest support. Under such circumstances, abolishing the prince will definitely turn the world upside down.

Standing behind the prince is the Pei family in Qingzhou.

This is a transcendent martial arts force with a grand master of astronomical phenomena sitting in the command.

Will the Pei family watch the crown prince be abolished?

Absolutely impossible.

Because the prince represents the interests of the Pei family.

Even the three families and four factions had reached an agreement, and only then did Pei Rumeng, the daughter of the Pei family, become the queen and Li Heng became the prince.

This is the result of various compromises.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to abolish the prince?"

The queen came out from the ranks of concubines and said coldly.

"The law is strict, how can it be treated as a trifle, come and send the prince back to Duanmu Palace, waiting for disposal."

Qi Huang said indifferently.

Then he waved his hand, and immediately two old eunuchs in purple robes came out and came to Prince Li Heng, "Prince, I have offended you."

Prince Li Heng seemed to have just come back to his senses, his face was pale, but he argued: "Father, my son knows that you will not be satisfied with what you do, so what's the matter with drinking? Do you think these people here drink and eat meat?" Is it less? You just want to find a reason to abolish my crown prince."

"Take it."

Qi Huang's face darkened.

Immediately, the two eunuchs in purple robes held Prince Li Heng hostage.

Although the prince is an innate warrior, he has no strength to resist in the face of two old eunuchs who are flying masters.

Seeing this scene, the queen was almost furious, but she calmed down.

Under such circumstances, he absolutely cannot confront Qi Huang head-on.

"Your Majesty, you are really crazy."

She gave Qi Huang a cold look, then turned around and left with others.

He didn't even participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

"The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven continues."

Qi Huang didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, who will read the sacrificial speech?"

Xu Wenyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, asked quickly.

Now the prince is taken away.

But a person must be selected to read the sacrifice.

This is very difficult.

Because the person who read the sacrificial speech must be the prince, or someone who is qualified to be the prince.

At this moment, among the crowd of princes, several of them were eager to try.

Once Prince Li Heng is deposed, they will have hope.

It's just that Prince Li Heng's backstage foundation was too strong, even Emperor Qi could hardly abolish it, and the other princes' competition was almost hopeless.

But I didn't expect that Qi Huang would come up with such a thing on this grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, which made these princes think about it.

"Let the letter king Li Jing read the sacrificial speech."

Qi Huang said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Wenyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was stunned, and he was very surprised in his heart. He immediately knew that Emperor Qi was going to abolish the crown prince this time, and he was afraid that he was going to clear the way for His Royal Highness Xinwang.

It's just that His Royal Highness Xin Wang is the son of Concubine Xu Gui, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for him to be the new crown prince.

Qi Huang's decision immediately caused an uproar among the crowd attending the ceremony.

They have all guessed about the many princes, but they have never thought about His Royal Highness Xinwang.

And those princes also became aggrieved, full of envy and hatred towards Xin Wang Li Jing.

But no one dared to come out and object.

After all, Emperor Qi is quite powerful among the many princes.

Among the princes, the letter king Li Jing was a little confused.

Father asked himself to read the sacrificial speech?
How can this work.

He never thought of competing with the prince Li Heng, nor did he think of becoming the prince.

"Father, please take back your will, my son is immoral and incompetent, how can he be qualified to read the sacrificial speech."

Xin Wang Li Jing quickly walked out of the crowd, knelt down and said.

"How can I take back my golden words, Jing'er, get ready."

Qi Huang glanced at Li Jing indifferently.

In order to abolish Prince Li Heng, he has gone through careful consideration and planning, and it is most appropriate to carry out this ceremony on top of the ceremony.

Although it hurt the face of the royal family, he was the majesty of the emperor.

But now that the world is in turmoil, and the imperial court has lost control over the local states, what face does the imperial family have, and what majesty does Emperor Qi have?

He has broken the can.

No matter how selfish and mean he is, it is related to the continuation of Daqi Tianxia, ​​so he must do so.

"Yes, Father."

Li Jing, the letter king, could only accept the order immediately.

Duanmu Palace.

This is the prince's bedroom, also known as the East Palace.

Prince Li Heng was sent back to the palace, and immediately many eunuchs in black sealed the palace, and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were expelled.

This means that the prince is under house arrest.

The queen who came out of Jitian Palace wanted to see the prince, but was blocked. Even though the queen was angry and arrogant, the black-clothed eunuchs who blocked Duanmu Palace ignored it.

Because the Black Clothes Supervisor is a secret power in the hands of Emperor Qi, and it is free from external interference.

The queen had no choice but to return to her own Kunxi Palace, and immediately passed on the news through her secret channel.

Emperor Qi wants to abolish the prince.

She has to stop.

And the one she relied on was the Pei family in Qingzhou.

At this moment, an eunuch ran up to her and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has asked His Highness King Xin to read the sacrificial speech."

"This palace knows."

The empress's beautiful face showed ferocity, and she gritted her teeth in her heart: "Li Qian, you have to be the emperor for a few years with dignity, and then hand over the throne to Heng Er. Is it so difficult? Is this evil so worth your risk? Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife."

With the end of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, a piece of shocking news spread throughout the capital, and spread to all states in the world through various secret channels.

At the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Emperor Qi deprived the prince of the right to read the sacrificial speech on the grounds that Prince Li Heng drank during the fasting period, disrespected heaven, and violated the law of Tongzhai, and replaced him with Li Jing, the king of faith.

Emperor Qi wanted to abolish the crown prince Li Heng, and Li Xin Wang Li Jing's heart was already very clear!

The world was shocked.
