[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

"Your Majesty must not, you are only at the age of knowing the destiny, and the country Haiyan Heqing still needs you, please take it back." The minister who questioned the crown prince's salt transportation immediately stood up and objected.

He is also betting. After all, if the emperor really intends to pass the throne to the prince at this moment, then he will be the last one to give the prince eye drops before he ascends the throne. Will the prince's life be better after he ascends the throne?

It's better to bet that the emperor is just testing the prince now.

After the minister finished speaking, the other ministers, no matter which prince they stood on, also knelt down and shouted in unison: "I beg the emperor to take back his order."

The other princelings are afraid that the emperor really wants to pass the throne to the crown prince.The crown prince has not sat on the throne, and everything has not yet been settled, so their masters naturally have to fight for power, but if the crown prince becomes the emperor, how can they fight for it?

As for the prince's party, they have already experienced the stage when the prince and the emperor were mixed with honey, and the emperor taught the prince all the emperor's mind skills. At that time, no one thought that the prince's position was stable.To put it bluntly, they have already seen through.

Now that the emperor said this, they felt that the emperor had come up with a new trick to test the prince.So he quickly knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his order.

A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince.What's more, if you don't ascend to that lofty position, even the lives of your family will be in danger.

Therefore, when the prince heard that the emperor was going to pass the throne to him, his first reaction was not surprise, and the prince himself thought it was fake.

But after reacting, the prince also immediately begged the emperor to take back his order.

Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao had to surrender three times symbolically when they changed into a yellow robe, not to mention that the prince got the throne from his own father.

"Father, you are like Dinghaishenzhen. My son is still young, and I still need your teaching. Please take it back." The prince said quickly.

"Yeah, you are still young, but my father and I are getting old, don't you want to share your father's worries?" The emperor said with a smile, "Yue'er is a direct father and son, and you don't have to be modest in front of me." , if you feel that you have to be filial to your father and me, then let me teach Hao'er once I become the Supreme Emperor in the future."

The emperor said so, it would be hypocritical for the crown prince to refuse now.

The prince had no choice but to come down, "My son is terrified."

"You are the crown prince taught by me alone. I believe that you can govern the world well, so there is no need to panic." The emperor helped the prince up and said.

The emperor showed tenderness today, not to mention the prince facing him directly, even the ministers kneeling behind couldn't bear it.

Don't our emperors all believe in the strict father's education?

Usually, if you don't scold a few princes, but call them rebellious sons, the emperor is in a good mood.That is to say, when the emperor faces the little emperor's grandson, he can give a good face.

Did you take the wrong medicine today?Or was it given away by some dirty thing?

"Okay, you follow the prince to meet the people of Yangzhou, I won't go." The emperor waved his hand and let them go first.

What the emperor meant was to directly delegate power to the prince, without any defense at all. Even the things that the emperor could do, such as visiting the people in the south, were directly let the prince do.

The courtiers encountered such a big shock today, and they still haven't been able to digest it. They came together with their colleagues in twos and threes, and exchanged winks, waiting to find a place to discuss before going out.

The third prince hesitantly walked to the end. On the one hand, the third prince felt that he would not necessarily be found out if he did things secretly, and at most he only had a relationship with Chen Zhiwei, but other things were only done by cronies, and he had no contact.

On the other hand, the third prince clearly knew that it was completely different for his own father to be in power and his half-brother to be in charge of the family.

Especially for someone like him who has fought for power with the crown prince, and secretly tore his face.Others who fought with the prince did not panic because although they fought, the prince had no reason to hold it.And the crown prince also needs face when he first ascends the throne. Only when he treats his brothers who have fought with him well can he show his mind.

But his serious crime of treason, in the hands of his father, he can save his life anyway, at most he will be imprisoned.But in the hands of the prince, he may not necessarily live.

The third prince walked more and more slowly, but he still didn't dare to stay.

Although Chen Ke secretly took refuge in the third prince, he was a member of the prince on the surface, so when Chen Ke saw the prince, he went up to greet the prince with a friendly face.

In addition, they prepared so many people last night, but few ships caught fire. Chen Ke suspected that the plan had failed, but at this time the emperor did not come. It is doubtful whether the assassination was successful.So at this moment, Chen Ke asked in a repeated voice, "The crown prince seems to be much more energetic, what about the little emperor's grandson? I haven't seen the little emperor's grandson yet?"

When asked how the little emperor was doing, Chen Ke just wanted to show his closeness to the prince.

But the crown prince has met Chen Zhiwu a long time ago, and he even knew how Chen Ke cheated him. He didn't care about the favor of his mother who died young, and planned to put him in a doomsday. At this time, the crown prince is still on good terms with Chen Ke. Sounds good, that is his brain is sick.

"Master Chen, someone reported to Gu that the salt tax bank is empty. Guzi trusts Mr. Chen to be honest and honest, but in the end he has to worry about the thoughts of civil and military officials and the common people, so I can only wrong you first. .Come here! Lock us up, Mr. Chen first."

Unexpectedly, the prince would suddenly attack, and in front of all the people of Yangzhou, Chen Ke didn't even have a chance to complain.

Of course, Chen Ke didn't have any grievances. Once the salt tax bank was opened, the ground inside was cleaned to a good extent, but there was not even a piece of silver.

The prince is still wronged, Chen Ke was originally his man, if there were no casualties in this assassination, the only one who fell into the water would be the prince himself, and the prince's custody is the most suspicious object of the emperor.

The crown prince acted vigorously and caught Chen Ke and the others by surprise.In addition, Chen Ke used to think that he was the local emperor of Jiangnan, and he did not hesitate to act very recklessly. When he heard that the emperor was coming to Jiangnan, Chen Ke didn't think about mopping up. Instead, he focused on how to assassinate the emperor. Frame the prince and push the third prince to the throne.

The prince was simply checking for a loophole, and with the clues provided by Chen Zhiwu's righteous extermination of relatives, the prince had already checked almost everything before the emperor finished visiting Yangzhou City.

Chen Kehao said that for such a serious crime of treason, the emperor's grace to let the prince go was already regarded as a great grace, but the prince never thought that many of his younger brothers would be involved.

Needless to say, the third prince, he can be regarded as the mastermind of the matter this time, but none of the brothers of the prince is a fuel-efficient lamp. Although the plot to rebel has nothing to do with them, the salt tax money in Yangzhou can It was successfully spent by the third prince, but they all got involved.

The most speechless thing is that the fifth prince is not one who can win the heir, but out of pure dislike for the third prince, he deliberately made people praise the third prince in front of Chen Ke's fake daughter Chen Zhiwei. of.Chen Zhiwei was able to fall in love with the third prince, and was absolutely devoted to the third prince. The fifth prince's credit is indispensable for this.

There is also the sixth prince, the idea of ​​uniting against the party to assassinate the emperor was what he made people say in front of Chen Ke, but the sixth prince was still wronged, he was just joking, but who knew that a second-rank official like Chen Ke would actually Will believe this idea.

Although the emperor just let out the wind, saying that he wanted to abdicate himself and let the crown prince take over, as long as the crown prince has not ascended the throne, it is the time when he is walking on thin ice. If there is a slight mistake, let alone ascend the throne, it will be fine if it is not lost forever.

The crown prince doesn't pay much attention to the eldest son of the concubine, but if Situ Hao becomes emperor in the future, he will send the eldest son of the concubine to die.The prince must reconsider whether Situ Hao can be the heir.

In the same way, especially at this time, the prince is more and more timid. It is not good for him to do anything to these brothers, otherwise the hat of being unfriendly to brothers will be put on the prince's head, and the prince may have to drink a pot.

But if the prince does not move his brothers, it will give the emperor and courtiers a weak and incompetent look.

The prince had a great time investigating the case, but when it came time to deal with the person, he started to have a headache.

Thinking that the emperor was able to avoid the assassination smoothly, it was thanks to Jia Jing and the eighth prince, and the eighth prince, as a little dandy, had no interest in the prince, and even favored the prince.And Jia Jing is the prince's junior junior, a natural princeling.

The prince couldn't help but ask the two of them what they thought.

"Brother, are you embarrassing me a bit?" The eighth prince didn't want to care about such twists and turns, and pretended to be stupid, "Do you think I will?"

The prince thought for a while about his eighth brother's increasingly unrestrained behavior, gave up, and turned to look at Jia Jing.

Jia Jing didn't answer the Prince's question directly, but turned to look at the Ninth Prince and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what if there is something you can't solve?"

"Ask Myna and you!" The Ninth Prince wrote the script in his hand without raising his head.

"Then what if Xiaoba and I can't solve it?" Jia Jing continued to ask.

"Look for Emperor Father!" The Ninth Prince said confidently, "As a son, if I have something that I can't solve, of course I can only find Emperor Father."

At first the prince didn't know Jia Jing's intention to ask the Ninth Prince suddenly, but after hearing the Ninth Prince's answer, he suddenly realized.

Not to mention that he is still the prince now, and he has not justifiably ascended to that position.Even if he ascended to that position, as long as his father is still there, he is still only his son.

If the son has something he doesn't know about, he will naturally ask his father for help.

The prince didn't worry about how to deal with the brothers anymore, he just sorted out all the evidence and wrote a note for the emperor to decide the case.
