Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

In the past dynasties, even if the most favored prince did such a scandal, even if the emperor cared about his father and son's family and spared his life, then the crown prince would definitely lose his position.

The best result is to be under house arrest and die alone forever.

And considering Emperor Qianming's character, the prime minister insisted that there must be something inside!
"fart!"

It can make the king of a country yell and swear, and his mouth is fragrant, which is enough to see how angry Emperor Qianming is now.

"I think you have worked hard for many years without credit, and I spared Concubine Li's life for your sake, but I will abolish the crown prince today. If anyone dares to object, I will test him!"

Hearing that the crown prince was going to be abolished, the prime minister became anxious immediately, "Your Majesty, you can't! Your Majesty, you can't!"

However, the current Emperor Qianming is useless to persuade anyone, he is completely a powder keg, and it will explode at a touch.

But someone happened to speak out at this critical moment.

"Father, calm down! My son thinks that this matter is strange, and the prince cannot be abolished!"

Who would dare to offend the emperor at this time?

And still opposed to Emperor Ming's abolition of the crown prince?
Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire and asking for death?
Now, apart from the three little eunuchs kneeling on the ground, there are only the emperor himself, the prime minister and Li Changshou in the imperial palace.

"No one says it's useless, I'm going to abolish his crown prince today!"

Emperor Qianming's anger cannot be extinguished by just a few words. Li Changshou is naturally aware of this. At the same time, facing the anger of the emperor's old son and the strange eyes of the prime minister, he persuaded again: "Father, abolishing the crown prince is a big deal, and the crown prince is even more important." The crown prince of this dynasty, every move is of great concern to the face of the dynasty, if the crown prince is easily abolished and spread, it will damage the face of the father, and what will make the surrounding young people think of the dynasty?"

After some persuasion, he understood it with reason and moved him with emotion, but even so, it still couldn't dispel Emperor Qianming's anger.

On the contrary, the prime minister's eyes flickered in surprise, and he also persuaded him: "His Royal Highness Shou Wang's words are reasonable. Your Majesty, this is a big matter. Even if it is true that the crown prince has committed a scandal that disregards human relations, if it is spread, it may damage His Majesty and his brother." Royal face."

What is an old fox?
This is!
What the prime minister said was nothing more than finding that direct opposition was useless, so he started to save the country.

In short, Prince Fei Li has the final say, but he needs to consider whether he really uses this reason to abolish the prince!

"Father, the ministers also feel that the prime minister's words are reasonable. To abolish the prince, there must be a reason that can be convinced by all the officials and the people of the world. But even if what happened last night was really done by the crown prince, it is not appropriate to make it public! "

One is the prince, and the other is the elder of the three dynasties, the earliest auxiliary minister.

The two talked to each other, even if Emperor Qianming was furious, it didn't mean that he really had no sense at all.

It was just to vent my emotions, but after calming down, I also understood that the family scandal cannot be made public in the court, but if it is not made public, there is no reason to abolish the prince.

The more you think about it, the angrier you get, and the more you get angry, the more angry you get!

The dignified emperor had his crystal stolen by his son, and he still has nothing to do with his son?

Of course Emperor Ganming never thought that he would do the same scandal 30 or [-] years ago...

"Okay! Then tell me, how to deal with this matter?!"

After finally suppressing his anger, Qianming Emperor's face was ashen, as for the crown prince?

Now he can't wait to take a knife and cut the prince alive himself!
I stole the tower from my head, right?
"Such a rebellious son! I don't deserve to be the crown prince!"

The prime minister hurriedly persuaded, "The old minister thinks that this is a big matter, and we still need to investigate clearly whether the prince really entered the palace last night, and whether he had secretly had an affair with the concubine Li. If the investigation is not clear, the prince will suffer such wrongs, It is not a good thing for this dynasty, nor for Jiangshan Sheji."

The old fox is a smart man, even if someone saw the prince appearing in the harem last night, he already saw that Emperor Qianming didn't catch him!

As long as the current situation is not caught, there is still hope for a comeback!
In other words, the Prime Minister didn't quite believe that the Crown Prince would be so courageous that he really entered the palace in the middle of the night to have an affair with Concubine Li.

Even if you want to have an affair, can't you find a good time?
Isn't this hitting the muzzle yourself?
People say that the tiger father has no dogs, and the prince is not at all as smart and alert as his father was when he was young!

"Father, my son is willing to thoroughly investigate this case!"

Li Changshou then said that he was in charge of the Imperial City Department, and this kind of matter definitely couldn't be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple to investigate the case. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, so it can only be done secretly.

Who is the most suitable person?
Still need to ask?
Naturally, it was Li Changshou, and the prime minister also understood why Emperor Qianming not only called him into the palace, but also asked King Shou to follow him.

It turned out that this step was thought out in advance.

"Nizi! You are simply a rebellious son!"

Emperor Ganming still couldn't suppress his anger, and even yelled at Li Changshou, "This is the candidate you told me? You still refused to be the commander of the Forbidden Army and let the prince take charge of the Forbidden Army. Now look at you What good deeds has this brother done!"

"My son..."

Li Changshou pretended to smile wryly, unable to explain himself.

The prime minister's eyes flickered with surprise on his face!
"At the beginning, I said that I wanted to make you the crown prince, but you refused several times, saying that the seniority is orderly, and you don't want to compete with the crown prince. Now look, don't you want me to hand over the whole country to this kind of rebellious son?! "

As soon as this remark came out, the prime minister was moved again!

He didn't expect that Emperor Qianming really moved to abolish the prince and change the mind of Lishou Wang, and there was not even the slightest rumor from the outside world.

The prime minister was even more surprised and unbelievable that Li Changshou actually pushed out the crown prince he had obtained?
Recalling the scene when Li Changshou came to visit in person and sent him the list of all the offenders in the court, the prime minister's eyes became complicated for a while.

He began to believe what Li Changshou said at the time, saying that he had no intention of fighting for the crown prince, nor did he want his brother Xiao Qiang.

"Father, please calm down. After all, the crown prince is the queen's son and the eldest son of the royal family. I shouldn't have such thoughts because of love and reason. As for what happened last night, I am willing to do my best to investigate the truth of the matter!"

Anyway, he revealed an attitude.

He will not fight for the crown prince!

He also didn't want to take the opportunity to add insult to injury and use this opportunity to step down the prince.

Such a statement made Emperor Qianming's complexion improve a lot, and he suddenly felt that although the prince's disobedience made him want to kill him himself, at least there is still one son who is filial and sensible, so he won't worry too much.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly!"

"My son leads the order!"

"But the crown prince cannot be abolished as you said for the time being. Concubine Li dares to have an affair with someone behind my back, come here!"

Emperor Ganming shouted angrily, and immediately saw Eunuch Cao rushing in.

"Give poisoned wine and white silk to Concubine Li!"

The prime minister's complexion changed, and it might be the limit of what he could do to barely keep the crown prince, and he also saw that Emperor Qianming needed an outlet to vent his anger, otherwise he might not even be able to keep the crown prince.

I could only shake my head secretly, and didn't continue to persuade this time.

But he still underestimated the result of being an emperor when he got angry, "declared to the world that Concubine Li poisoned me, gave poisoned wine and white silk, and she will not enter the imperial tomb after death!"

"Concubine Li's natal family punishes the three clans! The others are allotted to the frontier!"

What does it mean when the emperor bleeds into a river in his rage?
With such a result, it can be seen that Emperor Qianming has a ruthless side. Of course, someone stole the tower, so it is understandable to be so angry.

It's just that the prime minister has a headache. Concubine Li's natal family is also his wife's natal family. Once he is punished by the three clans, even he will be affected.

At least when he went back, he didn't know how to explain it to his wife.

"Father, my son dares to hope that the father will take back his order!"

It was Li Changshou again, who spoke at this time, and Emperor Qianming looked at him with a cold face, "You think I shouldn't do this?"

"I don't dare, it's just that Concubine Li may also be deceived by traitors. I will definitely investigate whether it is the crown prince's fault. As far as I know, Concubine Li's family has always been loyal to the emperor. Dare to beg Father to forgive Concubine Li's natal family!"

The prime minister didn't dare to intercede, but Li Changshou did.

People who don't know, mistakenly think that he is the prince who is fully supported by Qingliu's faction, so he defends it like this.

But in fact, even if the ministers of the Qingliu faction accepted the favor from Li Changshou last time, the relationship between the two parties only improved slightly. They still supported the prince, not Li Changshou.

"Shou'er, do you know how people from Concubine Li's natal family usually talk about your concubine mother and you in the court?"

Not to mention that the prime minister couldn't believe it, even Emperor Qianming was extremely surprised.

He wondered if his filial and good son had taken the wrong medicine today, and he was pleading for the crown prince, and for Li Fei's family?

Concubine Li's father is the official censor in the court, and he has often played against the concubine in recent years.

Who would it be, no matter how reasonable it is, it is enough for a gentleman not to add insult to injury, but now it is pleading for others?
"My son knows, but as the official censor, Mr. Wei, no matter whether he is playing the concubine or the son, it is his duty as the official censor. The son has never held grudges in his heart, and he also knows that Master Wei is loyal to the king and serves the country. He is a good official who is honest and upright, so I begged my father to forgive me and not take my anger out on Mr. Wei's family."

Some pleadings completely overturned Emperor Qianming and the prime minister's cognition, and the prime minister immediately responded, "Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to take back your order!"

……

"Zhang Xiang? Zhang Xiang?"

The voice of calling came from the ear, and finally the prime minister's mood was pulled back from the memory.

He looked up and saw several important ministers of the Qing school in the court, the one who woke him up just now was none other than Concubine Li's father.

"Wei Yushi, why haven't you left the palace yet?"

"Master Zhang, I still find it strange. You said that the King of Shou left Beijing this time to take office in the Jiangnan fiefdom. Is there any conspiracy behind it?"

For a long time, the officials headed by Chaozhong Qingliu have been fighting against the imperial concubine. They don't believe that the imperial concubine gave up so easily. Once the king of life leaves Beijing, he will really stay away from the court. In the future, there is a high probability that he will only be a happy prince and have no chance of the throne. up.

"Yes! Can the imperial concubine agree?"

"Could it be that it's just a trick to hide the sky and cross the sea, trying to make us relax our vigilance and plot other conspiracy secretly?"

Listening to everyone's clever analysis and inferences over there, the Prime Minister suddenly felt a little tired. There were some things he couldn't say, especially the scene a few hours ago, which made his mentality begin to change. "Your Majesty's arrangement must have his majesty's consideration, so let's go."

Everyone nodded when they heard it, but the prime minister glanced at Wei Yushi, who immediately understood to stay.

The two went out of the palace together, and after leaving the palace, Wei Yushi got into the prime minister's carriage.

"Uncle, did something happen in the palace?"

"Your Majesty called this old man into the palace a few hours ago."

"What? What the hell happened?"

what happened?
The prime minister suppressed his anger for several hours, and it was drawn out all of a sudden!

"That good daughter of yours! Having an affair with the prince!!!"
