Chapter 275 Bewitched

A noble position and poor virtue means calling the prince a name and scolding him for being unethical.

He was the eldest son of the emperor and was granted the title of King of Qin. He was the highest-ranking prince among the princes. Now he was even crowned the prince. He was already half the king of the Great Jin Dynasty. Now he is in charge of the emperor. How could he tolerate others scolding him like this?

"Catch it!"

His Highness the Crown Prince slapped the table in the Eastern Palace: "How long has Gu Cai been in charge of power, these people can't wait to jump out. It's clear that some people are instigating behind their backs!"

"Give a note to Dali Temple and ask them to arrest people immediately!"

His Royal Highness's words were almost named, and it was the other princes who caused trouble.

At this moment, Zuo Pushe Zhang Qu was also a little unhappy. The Haoran Gong was also discussing matters at this time. He stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Censorate has the right to report the news. In the past twenty years, no censor was convicted for his words. His Highness was in charge of state affairs and he wanted to arrest the censor. Isn't it appropriate?"

Zhang Qu is the serious prime minister of Chengde Dynasty. Even Emperor Chengde would call him Haoran Gong. When he heard him say this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little cowardly.

"Haoran Gong, you have seen what these people say. It is really not like what the ministers say. They must have been instigated by some people. Such precedents cannot be set. Once the precedent is opened, those censors will inevitably become more rampant, and they will be unable to move in the future!"

I have to say that although this prince took things a bit of a matter of course, he was born in the imperial family and still had some basic vision and insight.

He knew very well that these censors had nothing to do with the three emperors.

He cut off contact between the Ministry of War and the Wei Palace in order not to let Lao Qi do anything for the court again, and wanted to completely cut off the ambition of the Wei Palace ascendant to the throne.

As for allocating food to various places for disaster relief, and even distributing the Pingnan Army's pensions, they are all to win people's hearts and stabilize their position as the prince.

From this perspective, the series of operations he has carried out in the past few days as the prince can be regarded as a foolish move.

There were even experts who were guiding him behind his back.

However, the prince only knew how to copy and improperly. He didn't even know the relationship between the Pingnan Army and the court, so he distributed the pensions, which made the mistakes backfire and annoyed Huan Chu, the assistant minister.

At this time, the people from the Censorate openly provoked the prince's authority, so he naturally could not tolerate it.

Haoran took a deep breath and looked up at the fat crown prince: "Your Highness, I know that you want to establish authority, but it is not your legislation. Your Majesty has been in charge of the country for twenty years, and finally it was easy for the court to speak smoothly and have a harmonious political relationship. Now, if Your Highness commits crimes for his words, who else in the court dares to speak in the future?"

His Highness gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want these people to insult orphans wantonly?"

Zhang Qu glanced at the prince deeply and shook his head in his heart.

This prince is not even 10% of his majesty.

If Emperor Chengde encounters such a thing, he will most likely laugh and throw it aside and ignore it. If the Censor's words are really unpleasant and annoyed Emperor Chengde, the Emperor will not be punished for this. At most, he will wear small shoes for the Censor elsewhere.

Zhang Qu bowed and said, "According to the Crown Prince's intention, how should these censors deal with it?"

"Take it into the Dali Temple Imperial Prison!"

His Highness the Crown Prince shouted: "Examine the people behind them, report to the father, and let the father take a good look at the faces of these brothers, the orphans!"

Zhang Qu's face darkened, and he was about to say something, but he looked at the prince deeply and said coldly: "Then let's be as happy as the prince!"

"I am not feeling well, so I say goodbye!"

Zhang Qu turned around and left, and it was obvious that he also gave up on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In just two days, the crown prince had offended two prime ministers.

Seeing that Zhang Qu was about to leave, the prince was panicked. He knew very well that his current ability needed the assistance of the prime ministers from the three provinces. If all these people left, then with his ability, there would be no way to make the court run.

The fat prince hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Zhang Qu's sleeve: "Haoran Gong, don't leave Haoran Gong, I'm alone..."

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly and said, "I will only arrest those censors."

Zhang Qu took a deep breath and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is now doing the emperor's affairs on behalf of Your Majesty. Whatever Your Highness does is God's will. The old minister dare not control God's will."

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say that, you are always the pillar of the country. Whatever you say is lonely is..."

Zhang Qu sighed and looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Forget it, just wait and see for a few more days.

………………………………………

The East Palace is in chaos here, but Li Xin has already ushered in the joy of moving around. This house is his first house in the capital. On the day of the official move, many people from the Yulin Guard came to congratulate him, including the generals of the Yulin Guard's Left Camp.

After the last incident, the Yulin Guard Zuoying felt that he was owed to Li Xin a little. This time, the Yulin Guard almost all arrived.

Even Hou Jingde, the general of the left camp of Yulin Guard, came to Li Xin with some gifts.

Such a three-entry house in the capital is not cheap. If you can live in such a house, you can be considered a successful person in the capital. Take Hou Jingde as an example. If he does not rely on his parents and rely only on his own salary, he will not be able to afford such a house.

The big man with black face sighed to Li Xin enviously: "Brother Li is such a blessing. He bought the family business at a young age. He is not like brother. He still lives in an old house at such an old age and is taught by the older generation everywhere."

Hou Jingde's old father was a general who made contributions in the battle of destruction of the country. He was later named Marquis of Zhongyong. However, this Marquis was similar to an honorary title and was lifelong and could not be passed on to Hou Jingde.

After the old Marquis retired, he had been lying at home to recuperate due to his old injuries. Hou Jingde liked to drink and was often beaten by his father at home, calling him a loss of prospects.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and pulled the big man to a secluded corner, laughing: "Brother Hou, do you want to get promoted and make a fortune?"

Hou Jingde glanced at Li Xin cautiously, then grinned.

"Brother Li, Hou knows what you are going to say. You just want to win me over for Your Highness King Wei. In the past few months, with the speed of your promotion, the old brother followed Your Highness King Wei when his mind was hot, but it won't work now."

Hou Jingde shook his head and said, "Now the crown prince has been established, so it is impossible for Hou to take his life and do anything to rebel with you."

Li Xin pulled Hou Jingde's sleeve and smiled: "In three months, the prince will be deposed!"

Hou Jingde's face suddenly changed. After a glance around, he whispered: "Brother Li, you can't talk nonsense!"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "I will only ask Brother Hou, if the prince is deposed, would you like to turn to the Wei Palace?"

Hou Jingde was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Li, I have no reason to turn to anyone..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xin sneered: "Yes, Brother Hou, in your position, no matter who becomes the emperor, you will still be the Zuo Lang General of the Yulin Guard, but..."

"But what happens in the future?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "In the future, the new king will send his confidant to take over your position. Brother Hou is not in the capital now. Where can he go if he leaves Yulinwei?"

Li Xin lowered his voice: "If you remember correctly, before the old Marquis retreated, he was a second-grade general, but when he arrived at Brother Hou, only the fifth-grade person was left."

Li Xin's voice was like a nightmare.
