Rebirth of Wufu Jin

Chapter 157

When the prince and Suo'etu heard this, they were immediately frightened. The prefect of Suzhou had already arrived in the capital, and he was arranged by the elder brother to stay outside the palace.

Only two words appeared in their minds at the moment: It's over!
The emperor looked at the pale-faced prince and Suo'etu, and knew that what the elder brother said should be true. As for the fourth elder brother, he might also be involved in it. If the elder brother was allowed to continue talking, the royal family would lose all face up.

"Shut up!" The emperor stood up from the throne and yelled at the elder brother in a sharp voice.

With the roar of the emperor, no one dared to speak anymore. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely suffocating. The ministers all lowered their heads, praying for the end of today's court meeting as soon as possible.

Some of the princes watched the theater, some were afraid that they would be trapped in it, and some were worried that they would suffer because of it.

After a long time, the emperor waved his hand to the civil and military ministers who were full of anger: "My dear friends, leave the court! The princes stay!"

All the ministers were relieved and couldn't wait to leave today's place of right and wrong.

The princes followed the emperor back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with their own concerns. After the maids brought tea in, they were called out by Eunuch Liang.

Sitting on the throne, the emperor's face darkened, and he raised his eyes to scan his sons. Except for the fifth son, who was fairly safe, none of the others was worrying.

The emperor was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Brother, you go and bring the prefect of Suzhou into the palace."

The eldest elder brother immediately understood, got up and walked outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and gave an order to a eunuch, and the eunuch quickly ran towards the Meridian Gate.

After the elder brother gave his orders, he didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But in a short while, the faces of all the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation became ugly compared to just now, especially the prince, who looked panic-stricken, it seemed that he had already been reprimanded by the emperor.

After seeing the prince's face, the elder brother couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart, but his face didn't show the slightest bit, and he remained calm.

After about two minutes, the eunuch led a middle-aged man in gray cloth into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the man entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he saluted the emperor first, and then the elder brothers, "My minister Suzhou prefect Zhang Binghuai has seen the emperor, the crown prince, the elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother. Elder brother, eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother."

The emperor glanced at Mr. Zhang, nodded to signal him to get up, and asked with some doubts: "Mr. Zhang, is what the elder brother said is true?"

Zhang Binghuai replied respectfully: "Returning to the emperor, what the elder brother said is true. The crown prince has indeed robbed a civilian girl in Suzhou! At the beginning, I wrote a copy and asked someone to hand it over to the fourth elder brother. Somehow the letter arrived. Master Suo?"

Hearing the words, the prince turned his head suddenly and stared at Zhang Binghuai, and the fourth elder brother was even more astonished.

Zhang Binghuai also met the prince's eyes without fear, and the prince was furious, "Master Zhang, you are spitting blood!"

Zhang Binghuai ignored it, and continued to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the fact that the prince robbed the people's daughters is true. I have seen it with my own eyes, and the local people in Suzhou have also witnessed it with their own eyes. This matter has spread in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places! If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask anyone on the local street in Suzhou, and you will definitely know the answer."

Upon hearing this, the prince hurriedly stood up from his seat and knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor, "Huang Ama, my son is wronged! How can I do such a thing with my status?! I beseech you!" Ama is very discerning!"

The elder brother snorted coldly, and said in a bad tone: "Prince, the facts are in front of you, why do you need to quibble!"

Zhang Binghuai cupped his hands and said: "I report to the emperor, I have something that proves that the crown prince went to Suzhou to snatch the women of the people!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Binghuai took out a jade pendant from his cuff and put it in front of the emperor. The emperor took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. There was a word "礽" engraved on the jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to the prince by the emperor a long time ago.

After the prince saw the jade pendant, his face turned pale, "Imperial Ama, this."

The emperor threw the jade pendant on the prince, and said to the prince in a stern tone: "Prince, do you still want to argue?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the prince immediately collapsed on the ground, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and no one dared to make a sound.

The emperor glanced at the prince, then glanced at the other princes, and finally set his eyes on the fourth elder brother, "Si elder brother, you gave Suo'etu the letter from Mr. Zhang?"

When the fourth elder brother heard the emperor's question, he immediately stood up and bowed to the emperor: "I have reported to the emperor, Ama, that it was my minister who asked for the zhezi, but I really don't know the content of the zhezi."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned and looked at the fourth elder brother. The emperor knew that the fourth elder brother was very close to the prince on weekdays. If he didn't know about this, how could he have given Suo'etu the copy of the complaint!

The emperor's heart was very complicated at the moment, and thinking of the corruption of the prince's gangsters more than a year ago, he had some doubts for a while, whether the prince he personally taught was really worthy of a high position.

In recent years, everything the crown prince has done is hardly in the style of a crown prince, and the princes are gradually becoming adults, and there are many princes who are more capable than the prince.

After much deliberation, the emperor made a bold decision: he decided to abolish the crown prince who had been in office for more than 20 years, and let him meditate on himself for a few years. bit.

Seeing the emperor's pensive look, the several princes sitting in the hall couldn't help but glance at the prince kneeling on the ground.

The prince's face was full of despair. He knew that today he was completely defeated.

After a long time, the emperor raised his eyes to look at the prince, "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have worked diligently in government affairs to ensure the stability of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is prosperous, and from now on, the second elder brother Yinfeng will be deposed as the crown prince, and the clan's mansion will be banned; the fourth elder brother Yinzhen will help the tyrant and abuse, and he will be confined to the Sibeile Mansion, and he will not go out unless he is called!"

As soon as these words came out, expressions of astonishment appeared on the faces of the princes present, especially the prince. The emperor wailed and said: "Huang Ama! My son knows it's wrong! Huang Ama."

The emperor flicked his robe sleeves, and impatiently interrupted the prince's cry: "Enough! You stay in the clan mansion and think about your own mistakes!"

Everyone held their breath, looking at the scene in front of them, the fourth elder brother had stumbled this time, and knelt down on the ground to plead guilty to the emperor unwillingly: "My son respectfully abides by the emperor's imperial power!"

Yinqi's expression was a little unbelievable, why did Huang Ama abolish the prince's position because the prince robbed the people's daughter? He was about to stand up and beg for mercy, but the third elder brother on the side grabbed his sleeve, and Yinqi turned his head Looking at the third elder brother, I saw the third elder brother shook his head at him.
