The Son of Heaven is sick, but he expelled the prince who is most qualified to inherit the throne from Beijing. No matter how you look at it, it is a very absurd thing.
Not to mention how much turmoil it will cause in the court, I am afraid that it will cause some panic among the people.
However, what the King of Shu did this time was indeed a big taboo, and the courtiers were not very surprised by His Majesty's decision.
In any case, that position still belongs to His Majesty now, although it is likely to belong to the King of Shu in the future, but if His Majesty doesn't give it to him, the King of Shu can't take it either.
Using actions no less than rebellion to build momentum for themselves eventually led to this result.
This time, he was not wronged at all.
"Let's go now?" Li Yi sighed, his tone a bit embarrassing.
This is no ordinary fight. The King of Shu is going to rebel. It is not an extravagant hope to be dragged out and beheaded. No matter what, he will have to lose the king's title and be demoted to a commoner. He will be exiled for three thousand miles and cannot return to Beijing for life...
The old emperor was still too benevolent and lacked the courage of an emperor through the ages. This was not the first time he felt this way.
After watching it lively, when he was about to go home, he saw a figure limping towards this side in the distance, Li Han was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I have seen Brother Huang."
The King of Shu's expression was dull, and he raised his head and glanced this way. Even when he saw Li Yi and Li Xuan, the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.
After all, compared with what happened to him just now, some things are not worth mentioning.
Seeing that the King of Shu lowered his head and didn't even look at himself, Li Han scratched his head with some doubts, and waved: "Goodbye, brother!"
Goodbye, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Li Yi shook his head, turned around and walked outside the palace.
Tsundere Lolita yelled from behind, "Sir, wait for me, I'll go back and change to a big box..."
After becoming a big girl, the old emperor seems to have really relaxed his discipline on Tsundere Lolita, and the treatment is gradually getting closer to that of His Highness the Eldest Princess, and she doesn't even need to notify her when she leaves the palace.
Outside a certain palace, when she was waiting for her to go in to change clothes and change a big box, she inadvertently glanced sideways and saw an arched door, two eunuchs dragged one out and walked past him.
The man must have been beaten with a cane, his back was smashed, and he looked like he was exhaling more and less inhaling.
He couldn't help sighing in his heart, a place like the imperial palace looks bright and majestic, but in fact there are many dark and dirty things in the dark, open and secret fights not only happen between concubines, sometimes even princesses are involved.
Yongning and Tsundere Lolita are still young now, and when they get older, they will more or less come into contact with some things. With their abilities, they can't beat those people. After two years, His Royal Highness the Princess The palace has moved out, the two of them, especially Yongning, are really worrying.
When he was thinking about these things in his mind, in a certain palace not far from here, more than ten eunuchs and maids stood in the courtyard, their heads were lowered, their bodies trembling slightly, and they were silent.
The imperial concubine smashed all the precious vases in the palace early this morning, and a servant who went in to tidy up was beaten with dozens of sticks and passed out. Even His Highness the King of Shu was slapped and scolded by the empress. Less than half an hour.
At this moment, no one dared to approach the gate of the palace.
"We haven't lost yet!"
In the empty hall, the woman in palace costume smashed the last precious porcelain, took out a sealed envelope from her sleeve, and said, "You go out of the palace and deliver this letter to the owner of the house with your own hands." In addition, let him ask what the Qin family means!"
"Yes, ma'am." A thin voice came from the darkness, someone came out, answered, and quickly disappeared into the hall.
…
…
Although the court is far away from ordinary people, some important events in the court cannot be hidden from the people of Kyoto.
They don't know about the relegation or transfer of certain officials, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu is about to leave the capital and go to the fiefdom. Not long after the early court, it spread throughout the entire capital at a whirlwind speed.
After all, the King of Shu is a popular figure in Kyoto these days. From being ridiculed by everyone and dubbed the "Rat King" to the series of omens, it all shows that he is the real Son of Dragon. To be expelled from Beijing today, in just a few days, the experience can be described as nine twists and eighteen turns.
Even the vendors in the vegetable market would talk about it when they had nothing to do.
"Didn't it mean that the emperor was going to pass the throne to the King of Shu? Why was he kicked out all of a sudden?"
"What transmission, who do you listen to?"
"Everyone is talking, even the fox has said, the king of Shu should be the emperor, can there be fakes?"
"Fart, you can believe that kind of thing. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that those things were all caused by the King of Shu himself. Whoever believes it is an idiot..."
"What, the king of Shu made it all by himself?"
"Nonsense, otherwise, how could he be kicked out of the capital? If you want me to tell you, he is still too impatient..."
…
…
In just half a day, the "truth" of the matter spread among the market.
After a few days of people praising the King of Shu, they found out that the Shu King was still the same Mouse King, and hadn’t changed at all. He had done so many things, and it turned out that they were all deceiving them. Lied, but not deceived His Majesty today, was dispatched far away, really stealing chickens and losing rice.
Regarding this matter, even the government did not intervene more, but instead guided it intentionally.
After all, it doesn't matter whether the king of Shu did it or not. The important thing is to eliminate the influence of this matter among the people as soon as possible. If someone uses it, it may cause big trouble.
The two countries of Qi and Zhao already had envoys in the capital. If this matter is not settled as soon as possible, it will be greatly detrimental to the stability of the government when they pass the news back and be made a fuss by the enemy country.
This time the King of Shu and his lineage suffered heavy losses. Not only was his power in the court wiped out, but he also left the center of power and went to the distant Shu Prefecture. He didn't know when he would be able to return.
I don't know how many people in the court have worked hard for more than ten years, but they were destroyed in an instant.
At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes stood at the door of the Qin Mansion, raised his eyebrows and asked, "President Qin is seriously ill, so it's inconvenient to see guests?"
The servant of the Qin family said helplessly, "Please forgive me, my honored guest."
A thoughtful expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he turned and left after a while.
The person beside him asked worriedly: "Patriarch, what should we do now?"
"Go to Chen's house." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and whispered.
In Chen Guogong's mansion, Chen Qing, who is the head of the family, just welcomed a distinguished guest. The two of them retreated all the servants, and they had been talking in depth for an entire hour in the room.
The second master of the Chen family, Chen Chong, walked into a small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and met a servant girl, beckoning and asking, "How is Miss?"
The servant girl quickly said: "Back to the second master, I feel much better after waking up today. Two days ago, I asked for the Heart Sutra written by Master Tan Yin in Hanshan Temple, and I am currently chanting in the Buddhist hall. Do you want a servant to report it?"
"Okay, I'll go there by myself, go get busy." Chen Chong waved his hand and continued to walk into the courtyard.
He walked slowly outside the Buddhist hall, when he heard a low voice coming from inside, he didn't bother him, and only walked in after the voice disappeared.
"Are there any guests at home today?" The white-haired woman with a pretty face knelt on a futon and said softly.
"An important guest came over and was talking to elder brother." Chen Chong nodded, and said again: "You have just recovered from the cold, so you should have a good rest in your room."
The woman sighed, and said: "The child Lixin has passed away. I want to chant scriptures for him. When he came to the house when he was a child, I hugged him. I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable..."
After Chen Chong was stunned, he nodded and said, "I've recited the scriptures too, come, I'll help you back to your room."
"Second brother, stop here, okay?" The woman lowered her head and suddenly said something in a low voice.
"What?" Chen Chong asked suspiciously.
"Just stop here, okay?" The woman looked up at him, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't embarrass that child anymore... Lixin, Lixin's surname is also Chen, you, how can you do it!"
Chen Chong's body shook, his fists were clenched, and his nails sank into his flesh.
After a while, he sighed, walked over, helped her smooth out a strand of messy hair from her temples, and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, and the second brother will listen to you."
He looked at the silver-haired woman with a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but deep pain and hatred flashed in her eyes.
"The preparations are still a bit hasty." He sighed again and said in his heart.
