Chapter 395
PS: four chapters first, two chapters later.
The candle in the imperial study was flickering.
Xiao Wenxuan is deeply in thought. He knows very well what will happen after abolishing the crown prince. The crown prince is the eldest son, and he is also the legitimate son. He will be the emperor in the future.
If the prince is deposed, the rest of the princes will not settle down. After all, it is the princes' own abilities rather than the order of their age.
He glanced at the empress and realized that empress Zhao's move out of the certificate was just to let him not abandon the deposit and learn from the practice of emperor Gaozu. After all, the symbolic meaning of the certificate was greater than the actual meaning.
In his heart, he didn't want to abolish the crown prince. The crown prince was his first son, and empress Zhao was also his favorite woman. Why did he give the throne to others?
But now the prince is making such a big noise, which makes him headache, because the next step must be to ask for the deposing of the prince.
"Emperor, if the crown prince is really deposed, the master behind the scenes will really succeed." Empress Zhao's eyes were shining with a strange light. He knew what Xiao Wenxuan thought at this time.
"But how can I explain to the king and his officials?" Xiao Wenxuan's idea is loose.
Empress Zhao was overjoyed and said, "emperor, the prince said that he only had this ambition, but he just wanted to be a Khan of the barbarians. Didn't Gaozu also want to conquer the barbarians and make the barbarians submit to the foot of Dayu?"
"Is that what the prince said?" Xiao Wenxuan's look eased.
"That's right. After your majesty left, the prince said this to his concubines. As for the assassin, it's just that the prince's censorship is not strict and he has mixed in with a barbarian assassin. The prince has also been framed."
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, his face returned to normal, and seemed to be satisfied with the prince. "You're right. It's time to let these princes enter the palace and sign the nomination certificate. Anyone who tries to block others will feel guilty. Even if it's not the mastermind of this time, it's bound to be wrong."
The smile on empress Zhao's face suddenly burst out, and what he wanted was Xiao Wenxuan's words, "Your Majesty, even if it's not very useful, as long as your majesty seals it with a jade seal, it's also the emperor's order. Since then, the fight for the throne of the state of Dayu can rest. Isn't it not only to keep the crown prince's position, but also to make the state of Dayu stable?"
Xiao Wenxuan nodded, "you are right. Tomorrow I will let you princes into the palace. I will take Yang Zhen to test them one by one."
Empress Zhao said with a smile: "this Yang Zhen is a master of observing words and colors. He can't see any clues. Emperor, it's getting late. Don't think about it any more. The Dragon seed in my concubine's stomach is making trouble again."
"Yes? Let's go. Let me have a look. " Xiao Wenxuan helped empress Zhao out of the imperial study and walked to the back palace.
Xiao Wenxuan is also very happy to have an old son, especially when empress Zhao is pregnant. He feels that this is a kind of God's favor for him.
The next day, a royal order came to every prince in Chang'an city. Xiao Wenxuan wanted to summon all the princes in the imperial study.
Because after the assassination, every prince was a little nervous, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so they went to the palace.
Outside the imperial study, Xiao Ming met the princes, the prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the king of Shu, the sixth Prince and so on, a total of seven adult princes.
All the princes did not speak when they got together, and their faces were all confused.
At this time, the third prince came to Xiao Ming and said, "the seventh younger brother has also come. It seems that our father didn't summon us to assassinate us."
"It's not necessarily to let the seventh brother identify the murderer, but I don't know who has the courage to assassinate the seventh brother. Seventh brother, do you offend anyone?"
Xiao Ming looked at the fourth prince. This guy has a precedent. He said, "I've offended many people. Anyone is possible. Are you right, fourth brother?"
The fourth Prince's face changed greatly when he heard the words. He snorted and stopped talking.
"That's true, but don't bother us." The king of Shu sneered. He had been granted a good land, but because of the reward of Xiao Ming, he was called to Chang'an.
Just then, Feng Deshui came out of the imperial study. He said to the prince, "Your Highness, the emperor let you in."
"Well."
It seems that the prince is confident, proud into the Royal study, this matter he has learned in advance.
In the imperial library.
Xiao Wenxuan picked up the jade seal and put it on the registration form. In the morning, he had already written down the content. At this time, he saw the prince come in and said, "prince, come here!"
Hearing this, the prince quickly walked to Xiao Wenxuan.
At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: "prince, I hope what you said is true, otherwise even if you have the registration certificate, I can abolish you."
"My father, my son's ministers remember that they will be diligent in government affairs in the future to share their worries and solve their difficulties."
"Well, sign your name." Xiao Wenxuan said, in fact, for him, it doesn't matter whether the prince's words are true or false.The assassination against Xiao Ming completely sounded the alarm for him. If these princes are allowed to go on like this, something big will happen sooner or later.
After signing, the prince slowly withdrew from the imperial study.
Feng Deshui then came out and let the second prince in.
Outside the door, people looked at the excited prince. They were all surprised, but what made them even more surprised was that the prince gave them his hand one by one.
"Third brother, fourth brother Seven younger brothers, go ahead for elder brothers. " Said the prince.
Especially when he came to Xiao Ming, the prince said with a smile: "seven younger brother, I offended a lot in the East Palace yesterday. I hope seven younger brother doesn't care. I think seven younger brother is trying to harm me."
"No harm, as long as the prince brother does not misunderstand it." Xiao Ming's heart is strange. He doesn't know what medicine the prince took.
After saying hello, the prince left alone. After a while, the second prince came out with a green face.
Then came the third prince, the fourth prince, each prince was uneasy to go in, and finally came out with a black face.
"Your Highness, it's your turn." Now it's Xiao Ming's turn.
Enter the imperial study, Xiao Ming path to the side of Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan just asked Xiao Ming to take a look at the registration.
Xiao Ming was surprised. He looked at it carefully. At the bottom, he saw the names of the prince and others.
"Ming'er, you must have heard about the petition." Xiao Wenxuan said earnestly.
Xiao Ming is helpless. He didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan called all the princes here for this. No wonder the prince would be so happy. It turns out that this is a contract to let other princes give up competing for the throne.
"Father and emperor, Gaozu also set up a registration certificate in those years, which is a good story among the people." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, the purpose of this nomination is to prevent brothers from competing with each other. You are a wise man, and you should understand what your father means." Xiao Wenxuan's eyes were burning.
