Chapter 490 Dethroning the Prince
Cui'e was triumphant, but she didn't know that her death was approaching.

Madam Xiong, on the other hand, still put on a hypocritical face, and was very tolerant towards Cui'e. In fact, she had prepared several poisons in private, and she was waiting to pick out the most doubtful one to destroy it. This concubine.

But Mrs. Xiong also knew that if it was just like this, even if Cui'e was killed, there would still be Cuixiang and Cuiyu, even if she wanted to stop it, she couldn't do it.

This matter can't be the same as in the past, just take the medicine and it will be over.

No matter what, Mr. Xiong must have some scruples.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiong secretly planned.

And the situation in the court has become much clearer. Because the prime minister was harmed by the fourth prince, he has become the end of his battle. The Holy Majesty will not let this old minister bother the court anymore. As for the second son Cao, he also consciously wants to On the grounds of filial piety, he resigned from office.

Seeing the fall of Cao's family, which had always said nothing in the capital, everyone knew that the Holy Majesty was about to clean up. Everyone was in danger immediately, for fear of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing.

Mr. Chen Ge simply resigned and returned to his hometown for the elderly.

The people who followed suit and wanted to resign handed over the posts one after another, and the Holy Majesty did not stop him, and agreed one by one.

When a person leaves the city, a new official will take office.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Holy Majesty has already made arrangements, otherwise, where can we find so many talents?
Judging from the movement this time, it was obvious that the Holy Majesty had planned it for a long time, but was just waiting for the right opportunity.

In the coup turmoil this time, the fourth prince caused a catastrophe because he took the blame for himself, but he is a prince after all, and his life is inevitable.Under the plea of ​​the fifth prince Mu Mengchen, the fourth prince was charged with exile.

Although it was unavoidable to suffer, he also saved his life.

However, the fourth prince was still not satisfied. He tried every means to plan, but in the end he took advantage of Mu Mengchen, a fool.

Could it be that in my father's heart, I am not as good as this confused fifth brother?
Feeling unwilling, the fourth prince left the capital.

Seeing that the situation was stabilized, the prince who had been missing for a long time also showed his face.

The first thing he did when he showed up was to fight desperately with the Fourth Prince because that person killed his concubine.

At this time, the prince has not realized that his position has become someone else's pocket.

Mu Mengchen, who has always been a dandy, stopped his behavior and tried to persuade him with kind words, completely different from his usual ignorant appearance.

The prince, who was blinded by hatred, didn't pay attention to the fifth younger brother. He only thought about cleaning up the fourth brother when he succeeded to the throne in the future. At that time, he must make his life worse than death!
From beginning to end, the prince never thought of his first wife, and the only thing he could think of was Yuehua.

After the turmoil subsided, the former princess asked her to bring her hair to practice. In this way, it not only saved the face of the royal family, but also avoided the prince's entanglement.But what she didn't expect was that the prince had never thought of her at this time.

Thinking of the hardships she had suffered in these years, she felt resentful, and she even used some careful thought to spread some news, so that people outside would remember her as the former princess.

When the prince heard her lead the cultivation practice, he just snorted softly: "Since she is willing to practice cultivation, then let her die alone, what has it to do with me?"

This word quickly reached the ears of the Holy Majesty, who was still hesitant in his heart, he no longer hesitated, and asked someone to bring up the matter of deposing the prince in the morning court the next day.

As soon as the news of the abolition of the crown prince came out, the whole court was shocked, and some old-fashioned ministers hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Since ancient times, there has been no succession, and the empress has nothing but the crown prince. Isn't there no successor?"

Regarding this doubt, the person on the dragon chair just said indifferently: "The common people in the world recognize their sages rather than their births. Such old rules should be changed."

In one sentence, all doubts were overturned.

But these people were even more confused. Although the prince behaved perversely, he could still show a royal demeanor. The other princes were young, and the remaining fifth prince was a fool...

Naturally, this matter cannot be finalized, and the emperor is not in a hurry to let these old antiques accept it once, so he simply retreated first and let them discuss in private.

After the court, the emperor sent Eunuch Xu to call Huo Tainan into the imperial study.

Playing with a piece of beautiful jade, the emperor seemed a little absent-minded.

"Chen Huo Tainan, I have met Your Majesty." Huo Tainan was wearing soft armor, with a strong figure and a dignified appearance.

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Huo Aiqing, what suggestion do you have for the crown prince?"

"Wei Chen has no suggestion." Huo Tainan said.

If there is no suggestion, it is to support the abolition of the prince. This is the same as what the emperor thinks in his heart. There are still sensible people in this court.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Huo Tainan said: "Nowadays, the princes are still young, the holy dragon is in good health, and there is no need to rush about the prince."

After hearing Huo Tainan's suggestion, the emperor said: "How many times have the widows given him chances, if he hadn't cared about the relationship between father and son, how could he have been kept until today?"

This sounded like a complaint, but Huo Tainan knew that the Holy Majesty needed a legitimate reason to abolish the prince.

Thinking about it, he said: "His Royal Highness is an upright person and declares righteousness. It is also right for His Majesty to care about friendship." .”

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and put down the jade pendant in his hand.

Under his scrutiny, Huo Tainan's face remained unchanged, as if he had already stood like a stone statue.

After a while, the emperor picked up the jade pendant again: "Hey, I never thought that for the sake of the throne, they would kill each other."

In this way, he agreed with Huo Tainan's suggestion.

The matter was resolved, and the emperor said again: "You have to work hard these days, and your family doesn't have to worry about it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huo Tainan bowed and said goodbye.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here." Eunuch Xu communicated softly.

"Just say I'm tired and see you." The emperor waved his hand.

Eunuch Xu expected this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "The servant has already persuaded the empress, but the empress...she said that if she is not allowed to come in, she will kneel in front of the door..."

"Impressive empress, why are you so ignorant!" The emperor looked impatient, "The crown prince just learned from her temperament, so he became what he is today."

Eunuch Xu sneered, not daring to comment.

Glancing at Eunuch Xu lightly, the emperor said, "This matter can't be handled well, and you, the chief executive, have been working for so many years for nothing?"

Eunuch Xu's complexion changed, he knelt down quickly and said, "I'm convicted, I'm going to invite the empress to go back to the palace to rest."

"Go." The emperor's tone was calm.

Eunuch Xu broke into a cold sweat and went to work by himself.
