Chapter 297 The deposed prince

"The King disagrees!"

Jun Jingrui was originally forced to stop by Jun Heng, and he was furious inside.

At this moment he stood up again, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.

The ministers who were watching the fun had already started to complain among themselves.

"Why does His Royal Highness disagree again?"

"His Royal Highness is too troublesome. If you ask me, he is still thinking about the princess. What's the difference between that and a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"

"No difference, no difference at all."

……

Sitting on the dragon throne, Jun Heng rubbed his brows.

Why is it that his son is becoming more and more of a worry as he grows up? He was obviously very smart when he was young!

"The emperor's word is as good as gold." Jun Heng used a sharp look to warn Jun Jingrui not to talk nonsense, "If you have any disagreement, tell me later."

Jun Heng didn't let Jun Jingrui speak, which was also giving him a way out.

But Ji Chenxing and Lu Yuzhou have no intention of letting go.

Jun Heng is a benevolent king. He is very tolerant of many things, including his useless son.

Ji Chenxing knew that in Jun Heng’s heart, he might not intend to leave the throne to Jun Jingrui in the end.

But no one could put the reasons for deposing the crown prince in front of Jun Heng.

In this way, if Jun Heng suddenly encounters an accident one day, wouldn't the throne fall into Jun Jingrui's hands?

No matter whether Ji Chenxing stays in Daliang or goes to Beiliang, as long as she comes to this time and space, she will have some interactions with Jun Jingrui.

Ji Chenxing was unwilling to deal with such people.

At the same time, she also believed that if someone like Jun Jingrui really became the emperor, it would be a very unfortunate thing for the entire country.

Today is such a good opportunity, for both public and private reasons, Ji Chenxing wants to depose the prince.

"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to the Crown Prince's opinion?" Ji Chenxing said, "I haven't decided whether to stay in Daliang or go to Beiliang. Maybe the Crown Prince's reasons can make me stay..."

Dissuading Jun Heng was secondary; Ji Chenxing was mainly speaking to Jun Jingrui.

Only by giving him a little hope can he say even more disrespectful words and annoy Jun Heng.

This is the simplest plan that Ji Chenxing could think of, a conspiracy to use Jun Heng to directly depose the crown prince.

Even if Jun Heng thought about it later, he could only blame Jun Jingrui for not living up to his expectations, and it had nothing to do with her, Ji Chenxing.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Chenxing finished speaking, Jun Jingrui spoke excitedly.

"Father, you support the princess marrying to Beiliang now, have you considered the future?"

Jun Heng frowned. Trouble comes from the mouth. He had a premonition that Jun Jingrui would say something outrageous.

"Now the floods in the south and droughts in the north have been resolved, and you, my father, have become a wise ruler. But what about the future? When I succeed you to the throne, what should I do if there are natural disasters or man-made disasters again?"

"The princess has gone to Beiliang. Who knows if there will be anyone who will give white flour buns to the people in the future? What should I do then..." Jun Jingrui spoke very quickly. Before the people in the hall could recover from their shock, he had finished his words.

From a modern perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Jun Jingrui said logically, but Jun Heng is the emperor. Long live the emperor, so how can he talk about his affairs after his death in front of him?
What's even funnier is that Jun Jingrui actually said that after he ascended the throne, it sounded like he was forcing his father to abdicate.

Jun Heng was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of his head at his disappointing son.

When he appointed Jun Jingrui as the crown prince, he was impressed by his character and talents. Now it seems that he was blind.

Jun Heng had not originally intended to remove Jun Jingrui from the position of crown prince so early. He wanted Jun Jingrui to cover for Jun Jingxing, which would make it easier for Jun Heng to identify those with evil intentions and eliminate their followers.

What a pity, Jun Jingrui does not have the ability to be the crown prince.

“How dare you!” Jun Heng hadn’t been this angry for a long time. His voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the hall and suppressing Jun Jingrui’s voice.

"While I am still alive, you are eager to plan your ascension to the throne. What is your intention?"

It's no wonder that Jun Jingrui is acting erratically now. Ji Chenxing brought some modern ways of thinking to ancient times, and the ancient people would be more or less affected.

Jun Jingrui is one of them.

He thought that as long as the reasons he gave were appropriate, Jun Heng would agree with his point of view for the continuation of Daliang.

Little do people know that different people pay attention to different things. Although Jun Heng has also been influenced by modern views, in his heart, the status of imperial power is still unshakable.

Jun Jingrui soon realized this, and he froze as if struck by lightning.

He knelt down suddenly. "I have no such intention. I just want to share my father's worries. I think that for the sake of the country, this matter should be planned early. Since ancient times, it is easy to succeed but difficult to maintain success. I just want to see the future of Daliang..."

"Enough!" Jun Heng sneered, "Share the worries? I think you have ulterior motives! You haven't even secured the throne of the crown prince yet, but you've already coveted the throne. How can such an unfaithful and unfilial person be the crown prince?"

Jun Heng knew clearly that Ji Chenxing's thoughts could not be influenced by anyone else, even if that person was the emperor.

Instead of interfering with Ji Chenxing's choice, it is better to support Ji Chenxing's choice. This will make Ji Chenxing more fond of Daliang and help Daliang more in the future.

Forcing Ji Chenxing to stay like Jun Jingrui did will only push Ji Chenxing further away.

But Jun Jingrui didn't understand this. His inherent thinking told him that women were nothing more than appendages of men.

Before marriage, one should obey the father; after marriage, one should obey the husband; after the husband dies, one should obey the son. As long as Jun Heng can betroth Ji Chenxing to him, Ji Chenxing must obey him for the rest of her life.

"Father, Father, you are confused! I am devoted to the country and have no second thoughts!"

However, Jun Heng is the emperor, how can an emperor be confused? At this moment, saying that he is devoted to the country is simply making things worse.

Jun Jingrui was anxious and angry, and suddenly realized that he had spoken without thinking, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that in front of envoys from other countries, Jun Heng would be so disrespectful to him and even want to depose him.

In fact, Jun Heng had already given him enough respect and asked him to shut up several times, but he still kept on advancing.

Jun Jingrui felt that he was not decent, and Jun Heng also felt that his face was about to be lost in Beiliang.

Ji Chenxing also spoke at this time, "If I have made up my mind to marry Beiliang as the queen, I wonder if what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said about devoting himself to the country means that he will break with Beiliang for the sake of Daliang?"

Lu Yuzhou watched coldly from the side. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were staring at Jun Jingrui as if he was staring at prey.

He seemed to be warning Jun Heng that if he continued to train such a crown prince, it would be difficult for Daliang and Beiliang to reach cooperation in the future.

"Enough! Pass on my decree. The Crown Prince is lacking in moral character and is unfit for the responsibility. Effective immediately, his title will be stripped, his property will be confiscated, he will be demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned behind high walls!"
