Chapter 291 The lovely prince
After Li Xin left, Emperor Chengde, who lived in the secluded palace, skipped the Eastern Palace and directly sent a note to Shangshutai, giving his own "handling opinions".
The content of the note is probably the official conversation that Li Xin said.
At this time, Emperor Chengde made a speech, and the Shangshutai naturally wanted to do so. The content of this note was fully implemented.
The censors locked in Dali Temple were released after just asking a few simple questions.
The Zhan Shi Tang Gu of the East Palace was taken to the prison and asked him about the crime of murder and an explanation to the dead censor Wang Anmin.
The battle between the fourth prince and the prince was calmed down as quickly as possible under the will of the emperor and Li Xin's wrist.
This matter was finally determined. Although the East Palace did something wrong, the blame was stopped by Zhan Shi Tang Gu and could not fall on the prince.
Wang Anmin, when he was frightened by Li Xin, he naturally did not dare to cause trouble again.
However, whether it was Emperor Chengde or Li Xin, they were both accused of helping the prince in this matter. The Prince of Qi, who was plotting behind his back, would inevitably feel annoyed. He did not dare to hate Emperor Chengde, and would probably take the account on Li Xin's head.
His Highness the Crown Prince was a little resentful in the Eastern Palace.
After all, from his perspective, the Fourth Prince and the others provoked him first, and they were just forced to fight back. However, in the end, the officials of the Eastern Palace were arrested, but the Fourth Prince did not suffer any losses.
But Emperor Chengde took action, and the prince, who had just been reincarnated for a while, naturally did not dare to say anything, so he could only grit his teeth and admit the result.
Just when the prince was sulking in the East Palace, the gray-haired eunuch Chen Ju asked for a meeting outside the East Palace.
When the fat Prince heard this, he immediately stood up from the chair with difficulty, stepped on his thick calves, and ran towards the gate of the East Palace.
He also knew in his heart that his position as crown prince had not stabilized, and the other younger brothers were still staring at him. The ones that he could not offend at this time were the people around his father.
And this eunuch Chen Ju is the confidant of Emperor Chengde.
Although it was already winter, the fat prince's trotted all the way still made the fat prince sweat. He walked to Chen Ju, bowed to the eunuch and smiled, "Why is the eldest brother-in-law here in person?"
Chen Ju hurriedly gave up and did not dare to accept the etiquette of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you, and I will order the old slave to call you."
His Highness the Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat, but his face still barely maintained a smile.
"The elder brother-in-law sent someone here for such a thing, why bother to come here in person..."
Chen Ju looked solemn: "Your Highness is half-jong, and I don't dare to neglect you."
His Highness the Crown Prince nodded slowly: "Okay, I will go to Changle Palace to meet my father."
Chen Ju bent and left the East Palace.
Not long after, the Prince's sedan chair was parked at the gate of Changle Palace. This kind of open-air sedan chair was unique to the palace. It was mainly to prevent Tibetans and hidden swords from being carried by strong eunuchs. However, because the Prince's sedan chair was too fat, the two little eunuchs carrying the sedan chair were sweating profusely and couldn't help but breathe.
His Highness the Crown Prince stood at the gate of Changle Palace, looking at the strict palace, feeling a little nervous.
It has been a long time since he met Emperor Chengde privately.
As the eldest son of the emperor, he did not leave the palace at the age of sixteen, because he was qualified to live directly into the Eastern Palace without leaving the palace. However, when the Emperor Gaozu was twenty years old, he was still named King of Qin and drove out of the palace to open the palace.
Since then, the eldest prince Ji Ku has been a little discouraged and hid in the Qin Palace to indulge in love. He rarely comes out and rarely sees the emperor in private.
He was actually a little afraid of his father.
Fortunately, Emperor Chengde didn't like him very much and rarely talked to him.
Even when he was granted the title of crown prince, the emperor had never seen him privately, so he just gave a few simple words of encouragement.
His Royal Highness took a few deep breaths, gave himself courage, and walked in.
The eunuch Chen Ju was already waiting at the palace gate, bowed and led the prince to the entrance of the Warm Palace.
In the Warm Palace, there is a pungent smell of herbs.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here to recuperate."
The prince glanced at Chen Ju and said slowly: "Grandpa, the smell here is too heavy, why don't you open the windows to ventilate?"
Chen Ju bent down and said wailingly: "Your Highness... Your Majesty can no longer see the wind."
His Highness the Crown Prince's heart was shocked, and he tried hard to move his fat body and walked into this warm hall.
The gate of the Warm Hall closed immediately.
After the prince approached, he looked up at his father.
Now Emperor Chengde has lost some energy and energy. His internal organs have been injured. Is there any way to heal? He is suffering from labor pains all the time and sometimes vomits blood. Such injuries have wiped out a lot of the energy and energy of Emperor Chengde.
The emperor now has a much haggard face.
His Highness the Crown Prince knelt down on both knees and kowtowed respectfully: "My son is the one who is willing to see the father!"
The emperor coughed and said calmly: "Get up."
His Royal Highness tried hard to support the ground with both hands to make his body stand up.
Emperor Chengde frowned: "Why are you so fat?"
The prince lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Forget it, you're tired even if you stand. Sit down and talk."
The prince sat on the wooden pier in a manner.
After he sat down, Emperor Chengde looked at his son lightly and his face was calm: "How do you feel when you are here in the court these days?"
The prince lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, there are several prime ministers here, and the son minister can still deal with it, but the problem is that there are always some people below who are determined to oppose the son minister!"
This is a complaint.
"That's because you can't convince the public, and others think you can't sit firmly."
The emperor's face darkened and he said coldly: "If you do something over the years, no one will risk offending the crown prince and go against you."
The prince saw sweat on his forehead and said unhappy.
He thought he had lost his throne for so many years, but he really gave up on himself.
"The son is the crown prince enthroned by the father. Those who do not obey the son are just disobeying the father..."
Emperor Chengde glanced at the prince with some disappointment.
"I... I have asked you to go to the palace to the court, and you can't handle them. Could it be that I still want me to come forward?"
"I can now say a word to let them extinguish their minds, but if you become the emperor in the future and I am gone, who else can come forward for you?"
"You were dead at that time!"
The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Father, my son is already working on dealing with them. It's Father, you...stop..."
"Sir!"
The emperor finally got angry.
Until now, this stupid son has not seen the situation clearly.
"You haven't seen it yet. I've stopped this and am helping you..."
Emperor Chengde coughed, his breath was a little weak: "The Censorate scolds you a few words, why should he do? Can the Censorate's memorial be passed on to the people?"
The censor is a censor who has the power to directly advise the emperor when he hears the news, but other officials and ordinary people do not have it.
"How can I take the Censor into Dali Temple? One more died!"
The prince blushed: "Father, that censor was definitely not killed by Tang Gu..."
"I know, and many people in the court know, but..."
"Do the people know?"
The emperor looked at the prince quietly: "You gave them a chance!"
"If a Wang Anmin dies in the Censorate, you will be trapped in it. If all the Wang family dies, your reputation will be completely terrible in the capital. At that time, I will consider issuing an edict to depose you..."
The prince looked pale: "How can the people from the Wang family die..."
The emperor looked at His Royal Highness coldly: "The people of the Wang family will die naturally. Once they die, they will be killed by you, the prince!"
The innocent Prince was completely stunned.
Not everyone is smart, and this prince is not very smart.
Emperor Chengde slowly closed his eyes.
"You should know in your heart that if I had not been assassinated suddenly, you would not have been in the position of the prince."
If the country changes and things happen suddenly, the most stable way is to establish a legitimate and chief. Only in this way can the power be transferred smoothly and there will be no fork.
"This is your chance."
The emperor slowly closed his eyes: "If you can seize this opportunity, you will naturally be the emperor in the future. If you can't sit still, then I have no choice."
"You must think about the benefits and interests of this. Also, when you first arrive at the government, don't be arrogant and low-key, learn more and read less, and talk less."
The emperor glanced at the prince coldly.
"If you don't speak, others don't know what you are thinking. If the king sees through it for his ministers, haha..."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and did not continue talking.
"You are my eldest son, and I have given you a chance."
