Jiao Luan

Chapter 476

"The crown prince has no virtue, please change the crown prince!" The voices of the people were like ocean waves, one level higher than the other.

The turbulent public opinion made it impossible for the Imperial Forest Army to maintain order, and they were also stunned by the vision of the Heavenly Sacrifice Flag igniting spontaneously in the wind.

But after the crown prince had a lingering fear of being almost hit by the Tianzhu, his head was blank, and a sentence kept flashing in his mind: It's over, he is the crown prince!

Under the attention of all the people, Emperor Changqing still held his breath, ordered the Imperial Forest Army to put out the fire quickly, and then left in a hurry under the escort of his personal guards.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Changqing quickly summoned the cabinet scholars and several important officials of the court. The door of the imperial study was closed tightly, and it was not opened until it was time to light the lamp.

The heavy opening of the door brought a piece of news that saddened some people but cheered most people: Prince Chen was abolished and Prince You was renamed.

The abolition of the prince is a major event, but if the prince is not too unbearable, there will be courtiers who will intercede for him, so as not to shake the foundation of the country.

But as soon as this decree came out, none of the officials in the court dared to say a word.

First came the snow disaster, followed by the war, followed by the earthquake and the eclipse of the dog. When the sky was worshipped, the flag spontaneously ignited, and the majestic prince was almost crushed to death. This does not mean that the prince is exhausted, what else can it explain?
Plead for the prince?Don't be kidding, haven't you seen how those people shouted?If the crown prince has been sitting in this seat, it will really shake the foundation of the country!

For a while, the four sides were silent, and the abolition of the crown prince seemed to be expected by everyone.

The decree reached the ears of the former crown prince's current King You, and when he received the decree, he was quite calm and asked expressionlessly, "My palace... When will this king move out of the East Palace?"

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to build Youwang Mansion as soon as possible. After the repair of the palace is completed, the prince can move in."

It is said that it is to build Youwang Mansion, but in fact there is a ready-made house on the West Street, which is next to Pingwang Mansion, and it only needs a little repair to live in.

"This king knows." King You took the imperial decree, and after the eunuch who delivered the decree left, he walked into the inner room step by step with the imperial decree, and then burst into tears.

After crying, I laughed again.

"I knew it earlier, I knew it earlier..."

Concubine mother, if I knew this earlier, why did you bring me into the palace? I have been the prince for nearly 20 years, and I was beaten back to my original shape in one day.

And if he knew this earlier, why would he force his concubine to death...

King You covered his face with his hands and wept bitterly.

Emperor Changqing was also uncomfortable.

Earthquake and solar eclipse, that is the unpredictable will of God, if you say it is still the will of God that the flag of offering sacrifices to heaven is on fire, you are treating him as a fool.

This is someone trying to pull the prince off the horse and make trouble!

Regardless of whether there is any doubt about the prince's life experience, it feels uncomfortable for the king of a country to be led by the nose without knowing who that person is.

At this time, Emperor Changqing never thought about his other precious son, Prince Ping.

After all, there is no reason for a lame prince who has no destiny to be an emperor to have trouble with the prince.

So Emperor Changqing spoke harshly and ordered Jin Linwei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

King Ping finally got the news that the crown prince was deposed, and heard that Prince You's mansion was next to his mansion, and he was both happy and unhappy to be neighbors with the deposed crown prince from now on.

After struggling like this for a few days, he was called into the palace by Emperor Changqing and cursed at him.

"Rong Zhen, I didn't expect that the spontaneous combustion of the Heavenly Sacrifice Flag was caused by you. You are so courageous!"

"Father, son—"

Before King Ping could finish crying, Emperor Changqing stared at him and threatened, "If you dare to cry for injustice, I will kick you to death!"

As soon as King Ping thought of the vigor with which Emperor Changqing kicked the little scorpion, he quickly swallowed the following words, and thought for a moment: "Father, my son didn't intend to make trouble with the fourth brother, but thought that since the fourth brother might not be of the royal blood, why? Can... how can I be the crown prince? My son is also thinking about the great Liang Jiangshan, so that's why—"

Emperor Changqing was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and slapped King Ping with his hand: "It's fine for others to believe those rumors, but you, a majestic prince, would believe those rumors? You fool!"

King Ping looked ashamed, but sneered in his heart.

If the royal father didn't believe those rumors at all, would he abolish the prince so simply and neatly?You know, Rong Chen has been the prince for more than ten years!
King Ping guessed right. Deep in Emperor Changqing's heart, when the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven happened, he faintly had the idea of ​​going down the steps.

People all over the world are discussing that the prince is not his son, and it is a lie to say that he should not.

Because of this, Emperor Changqing's anger towards King Ping was not as serious as it seemed. He reprimanded him, ordered him to go back to the mansion to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and fined him a year's salary.

King Ping returned to the mansion, but he was a little worried.

Now he has fooled his father with the excuse of listening to rumors, but when he reveals the good leg, his father should suspect that he spread these rumors.

The emperor's father doesn't punish him severely now, but he still pities him as a lame man, but by then it will not be so simple, once he loses the emperor's heart, he will completely miss the throne.

Forget it, it seems that this lameness has to continue to be pretended, and we will look for opportunities in the future, anyway, the father will not establish a prince in a short time.

King Ping honestly thought about his past behind closed doors, and King You quietly moved into the palace next door. All kinds of turmoil in the capital seemed to be much calmer, but on the west side, the war suddenly changed.

The sound of fighting was loud and the banners were fierce. Cheng Che held a silver spear and pierced the enemy's heart.

Pulling out the silver gun, a stream of blood sprayed out, splashing onto his blood-stained white robe.

"General Cheng, the reinforcements haven't arrived yet!" A young general rushed over and shouted.

Because he discovered Cheng Che's outstanding martial arts skills, Wei Wuxing temporarily appointed him as a vanguard. For these soldiers who fought all day long, "general" was naturally more fluent than "counselor".

Cheng Che pursed his thin lips tightly, and used his long spear to pick at the enemy who was about to take the opportunity to attack the young general, and said coldly, "Explore again!"

This Baifan River is a battleground for both sides. Once it is lost, the Daliang Army will be in a situation of lack of food and water, and must stick to it to the end.

The plan that was decided at the beginning was that he led his troops to guard the Baishan River, and lured Yeluhong, the fierce general of Xijiang who had recently frightened the Daliang army, to attack. He, come to a two-sided attack with him, and wipe out this Xijiang army here.

The agreed time has long passed, but the reinforcements have been missing for a long time, and in order to lure the enemy, there were not many soldiers staying in Baishan River.

"General Cheng, I can't hold it any longer!" The lieutenant shouted, "Your subordinate guards, please leave first."

Without turning his head, Cheng Che said coldly, "I have issued a military order with General Wei, vowing to live and die with Baishan River. Is there any reason to retreat first? There is no need to say such things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere and pierced straight into his shoulder.

"General Cheng!"
