Chapter 344 The Sacred Heart Has Fear ([-])

After all, the old man is an old man. Although his body has always been strong, he can't withstand the successive blows. The death of the eighteenth elder brother became the last straw that crushed the old man. A serious illness struck, and the old man died. Although she was worry-free, she couldn't even get out of bed anymore. After more than ten days of recuperation in Jiedeju, she just got better, but her body was still very weak, so naturally there was no way to talk about hunting. What was supposed to be an extremely lively meeting of the Mongol tribes ended in such a hasty way.

On March 47th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, after more than half a month's journey, the old man and his party finally returned to the capital, but the old man did not enter the city, but settled down in Changchun Garden; on March [-]th, the emperor issued an edict, Zhang Tingyu reported to heaven and earth on his behalf, formally deposed Yinreng as the crown prince, imprisoned him in Xian'an Palace, and issued an edict to send Yinreng's confidant Suo'etu's sons Gelfin, Arjishanji Erge, Suer Te, Hashtai, and Sarbang Aju established the law; on March [-]th, the emperor issued an edict again, and the elder brother who had oppressed Yinfeng was dismissed as a prince, demoted to a commoner, and confined to Shangsi courtyard, and another , On the charge of misbehavior, Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother, was confined to his mansion, and the clan's mansion was strictly guarded.

The old man issued several edicts in succession, and the people immediately went into an uproar. Various versions of rumors spread rapidly, but the official reaction was extremely flat, not for anything else, but because the crown prince was going to be deposed The matter has already been circulated in the officialdom for more than a month, and officials at all levels have already known it well, so they don't care much about the abolition edict, and all their attention is focused on a top priority, that is, who should do it Filling the vacancy of the crown prince after Yinfeng was abolished is just a matter of great importance. Before the holy will is unknown, no one dared to discuss it publicly. Therefore, the officialdom in the capital was so strangely quiet, and everyone waited. Waiting for further news to arrive.

Seeing the sky is going to be April, and it has been more than half a month since Yinfeng was deposed, but the old man seems not aware of the vacancy of the crown prince, he has never expressed his position on this matter, and even It has never been hinted before. Once such a situation occurs, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are a little impatient. First, Nalan Kui, the new censor of the left capital, said that he originally asked for the establishment of a prince early, so as to reassure the hearts of the subjects of the world. It was Heshen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who wrote a letter to invite the crown prince to be appointed. Within a few days, there were more than two hundred people who asked for the appointment of the first book. The playbook floated into Changchun Garden like snowflakes. Qi, Wang Shizhen and other senior scholars also joined the book, and there were endless calls for standing in the court. The matter has come to this point, and the old man obviously can no longer take it lightly, so he summoned all six senior scholars to Ruijing in Changchun Garden. Xuan discussed the matter.

The establishment of a crown prince is a major event among major events. It is not only related to the foundation of the country, but also related to the future fate and status of the people. No one dares to ignore it, even if it is the academician who is already at the head of the ministers. You guys are all extremely cautious about this matter, and have repeatedly asked the old man to appoint a candidate for the crown prince, but the old man has no such intention, he just replied that all the princes who were stupid in the previous Ming Dynasty had to ask the opinions of the important ministers. Is it worse?As soon as these words came out, a group of great scholars were at a loss, but they didn't dare to make more entanglements. They could only propose candidates to be determined according to their own sacred wishes, and disputes inevitably arose.

Both Ma Qi and Wen Da proposed to appoint the third master as the prince, the reason is that the third master is a great talent in governing the world, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, while Wang Shizhen and Yin Tai support the eighth master, the reason is that the eighth master is very popular. Tolerance has the style of a gentleman, which is the image of a benevolent monarch. As for Zhang Tingyu and Chen Tingjing, they kept silent and did not say a word about the appointment of the crown prince. Whenever the old man asked questions, they both said that everything was subject to the holy order. Therefore, Ma, The two of Wen and Wang and Yin had a fierce fight at the meeting. At the end of the quarrel, they were already blushing and neck thick, but they couldn't win or lose.

The Joint Conference of University Scholars failed to come up with a result, but the old man refused to express his opinion on this matter. The matter was obviously a little stagnant. In a few days, the courtiers once again set off a climax of asking for the establishment, and the old man followed suit. The edict is to be recommended by the officials, but anyone above the fifth-rank official can speak on the book. As soon as this edict came out, the government and the public suddenly boiled up, and there were not many people who cheered for it, but it did not include the third master. Inside.

"What does Huang Ama think, such a complicated matter has to be made so complicated, hey, what a troubled time!"

As soon as the public edict came out, the third master, who was dreaming of entering the East Palace, felt as if a large basin of cold water had been poured on him in the winter. The third master doesn't think about eating and drinking, it's only a day's work, the original elegant demeanor is completely gone, his eye sockets are sunken, and he is haggard because of it. During the day, he had to go to the Ministry of Rites to do errands, until he returned to the mansion in the evening, but he couldn't take it anymore, and invited Chen and Li, the two counselors, to the study, and complained all the time. It is comparable to Jiu Kuang's bitter wife.

Autumn?It's not summer yet, is it?Dad is really red-eyed!
Hearing the third master's exclamation, Hong Qing almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, the city is deep enough, so she didn't lose her composure. However, Hong Qing didn't intend to say anything to comfort the third master, so she just sat quietly aside.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Your Majesty is the master of sages, and you will make a decision. With the prestige of your majesty, there is no doubt about your chances of winning."

As the chief counselor, Li Minquan also had a hard time this day. He often asked Hong Qing for instructions in private, but he never got any instructions from Hong Qing, and he was very disturbed in his heart. Seeing that the third master was anxious If this is the case, I really don't know what to do, so I can only say some dry words of comfort.

"Well, does Master have any advice on this?"

Speaking of prestige, the third master really has some confidence, not only because he has made countless contributions over the years, not only because he performed well enough in deposing the prince, but also because he is the eldest among the only hopeful elder brothers , and the only prince, no matter from Lixian or Lichang, it should be his third master's turn to enter the East Palace. However, the old man has not expressed his position on this matter for a long time, and the third master is really worried, so he pondered the question Throwing it to Old Master Chen who stood still.

"The Holy One has great fear in his heart."

It's fine if Old Master Chen doesn't open his mouth, this opening is a shocking statement, which even made the third master dumbfounded on the spot.

"This, this, where did this start?"

After being dumbfounded for a long time, the third master finally came back to his senses, but the shock in his heart still didn't subside, and he asked with twitching corners of his mouth.

"The holy spring and autumn are still at their peak, how can they be fearless?"

Old Master Chen didn't explain in detail, but just made a point in an understatement.

"Ok?"

Although the third master can be regarded as a smart person, he is not a wise man after all. Hearing what Old Master Chen said, he suddenly realized something in his heart, but this kind of realization is really too shallow. It seemed that he had grasped the key point, but after thinking about it again, he was at a loss again.

"What the master said is very true. The Holy Majesty is indeed afraid. This visit to Rehe was originally a trip planned by the Holy Majesty to dethrone the prince. If everything goes well, the prince should undoubtedly be on the throne. However, when all kinds of things happen, the Holy Heart I am afraid that it will be easier, the situation is also, and the time is also!"

After all, Li Minquan reacted quickly, with Old Master Chen's suggestion, he quickly thought of the crux of the matter, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Ah, this..."

What the third master is looking forward to most is to be able to enter the East Palace. Hearing what Li Minquan said, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. When he opened his mouth to ask the truth, he suddenly realized that it was really difficult to say such words, so he immediately stopped He stopped, but looked at Li Minquan with undisguised inquiry in his eyes.

"My lord clearly learned that there are so many elder brothers involved in the change of Rehe, and it's not just the three prisoners. The lord, the fourth lord, and the eighth lord are all involved in the game. How could the sage not know about this? You know, so there is fear, this is just the beginning, the Holy One can still control it, but what about the future? Is it true that there are going to be a few changes in Xuanwumen? With the personality of the Holy One who cherishes the wings, how can we not be guarded? ? If we want to prevent it, we must start now."

Mrs. Chen is a teacher, he can say what he likes, and he can ignore it if he doesn't like to say it, but Li Minquan is not so lucky. The strangeness is clearly explained.

"So that's how it is, that king..."

Li Minquan has already spoken so clearly, and the third master is not stupid, so he can understand the key points, but what he understands is what he understands. If the third master really wants to stop here, his heart to enter the East Palace is It is absolutely impossible, after hesitating for a while, he still tentatively asked half of the words.

"The reason why the Holy Majesty hesitated to decide on the crown prince, and made such a trick of public selection, has far-reaching intentions. If anyone dances more joyfully at this moment, he will suffer the worse. The prince must not be careless."

According to Li Minquan's wisdom, it is actually not enough to perceive the location of the Sacred Heart from the chaos, but with old master Chen's suggestion, he has enough wisdom to deduce the truth step by step.

"Well... what do you think, master?"

Hearing Li Minquan's explanation, the third master's heart was already cold, but he was not reconciled, so he threw the question to Old Master Chen, obviously hoping that Old Master Chen could give a different answer, this Waiting for intentions is undoubtedly beautiful, but unfortunately the reality is obviously cruel. Old Master Chen didn't speak at all, but just nodded his head indifferently. With such a gesture, the third master turned into a statue.
