Thinking of the news that Wu Manying just sent back, the outside world only knows that Chunshengtang sells some obscene drugs, and nothing else is known about it.
Luo Tong asked curiously: "There is such a big incident in Chunshengtang. What does the emperor say? We can't just deal with it and punish the prince, right?"
According to the emperor's preference for the prince, so many things in the past have failed to do anything to the prince. I really don't know what the outcome of this matter will be.
While Luo Tong was thinking about this, Wu Zechen sneered: "He can't hide this time. Even if the emperor wants to favor him, it depends on whether the civil and military officials and the people of the world are willing!"
"In this matter, people from all the major forces were involved. Everyone knows the crimes committed by Chunshengtang. Who will let go of this opportunity and spare the prince?"
"The matter has not spread to the outside world yet, but if it goes as expected, the news will spread in the capital tomorrow."
"Today, when several of us who participated in the search of Chunsheng Hall went into the palace to report the matter to the emperor, the emperor still wanted to find excuses for the prince to cover up. It's ridiculous!"
"Just watch, the prince has done something like this, and it has already spread among all the officials today. Tomorrow morning, many ministers will definitely impeach the prince."
Luo Tong couldn't help but said angrily: "The prince has done such an evil thing, and the emperor still wants to protect him? Hasn't the emperor ever thought about the consequences of letting a person like the prince ascend the throne? What will happen to the people again?" What kind of miserable life will we live in? Can Da Zhou’s future really be good?"
"Do you think he looks like he cares about the people?" Wu Zechen suddenly asked, "All he cares about is the power in his hands."
Luo Tong suddenly fell silent because she couldn't refute...
Early the next morning, the court was indeed in chaos. Almost half of the ministers were impeaching the prince. In addition to the incident at Chunshengtang, all the mistakes the prince had committed over the years were brought up.
The prince refused to admit it, only saying that he was not strict with his subordinates, but he firmly refused to admit that the affairs of Chunsheng Hall had anything to do with him. He even claimed that he did not know about it at all and that it was all the decision of the owner of Chunsheng Hall.
But who would believe such rhetoric?
There really is...
It's hard to say that he believed it, but having such an excuse was enough for the emperor. Even if the ministers didn't intend to let him go, the emperor made the decision on the same day.
The prince was in confinement for half a year. He took back all his errands and reflected in the East Palace.
This punishment naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, because such a punishment was too light for the prince who made many mistakes one after another, and even things like Chunshengtang were exposed!
Confinement for half a year? The confinement that the prince was punished last time has not been lifted yet!
As a result, whenever something happened, the emperor would specially bring the prince with him. What's the point?
As for the errands in the hands of the prince, although they have some influence on the prince, the impact is really not too serious, because after all the punishments, he no longer has many errands in his hands.
What's more, the prince mainly relies on his identity and the ministers in the camp. Receiving errands is more of a symbolic meaning. The emperor allows him to participate in government affairs, so that he has the qualifications to compete for the throne.
But the situation of the prince was somewhat different from that of King Jin and King Qin. Even if the prince had nothing to do, the emperor's attitude was very obvious and he had not completely given up on the prince.
When the ministers wanted to say something more, the emperor directly announced his withdrawal from the court. It was obvious that he had made up his mind and did not intend to listen to what the ministers had to say.
However, the emperor's obvious anger when he left was noticed by everyone.
King Jin and King Qin looked at each other, evoked a cold smile, and left the palace directly with their respective people without further conversation.
Although they have joined forces temporarily, it does not mean that their relationship will be very good. If this matter comes to pass, they will be each other's main opponents in the future!
Among the crowd, Wu Zechen and Wu Fengyan also looked at each other. Although it was just a faint glance and it was difficult for others to detect it, they already understood each other's meaning.
After the dynasty ended, they did not leave the palace directly, but went to Cining Palace one after another.
At the entrance of the main hall of Cining Palace, Wu Zechen arrived first, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he stood quietly until Wu Fengyan arrived.
"Do you want me to take action in this matter?" Wu Fengyan did not say it directly, but Wu Zechen knew that he meant the matter between the prince and Chunshengtang.
King Jin and King Qin were obviously ready to take action, and he was asking himself whether he wanted to get involved too.
Wu Zechen said: "Don't get involved in this matter, lest the King of Jin and the King of Qin notice it and join forces to deal with you."
"Right now, your main task is to develop yourself. This incident may be an opportunity for you."
"How do you say that?" Wu Fengyan raised his eyebrows.
"If something like this happens, his reputation will definitely fall to the bottom. If the two kings want to take this opportunity to step on him hard and seize the benefits at the same time, they will definitely not consider anything else."
Wu Zechen raised his lips and raised a silent sneer: "It is inevitable that he will arouse public resentment. If a prince who is dedicated to the people appears at this time and forms a sharp contrast with him, what do you think will happen?"
Wu Fengyan's eyes lit up, and Wu Zechen continued: "This is your chance. Although the existence of your King Qi was made known through the redress of the Yan family, it was not enough."
"Now that you have been accumulating for a while and have some foundation, it is time for others to know the name of King Qi."
Wu Fengyan's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded.
The two of them entered the Cining Palace together without saying anything more. After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, they left the palace separately.
At the same time, the details about Chunshengtang began to spread wildly in the capital. With the actions of a group of pushers, it became known to everyone in just half a day.
Immediately, public dissatisfaction arose, and various crimes committed by Chunshengtang were made public. The anger of the people reached an unprecedented level, and almost everyone denounced it!
The dignified prince actually committed such evil deeds!
Many family members who had lost family members in Chunsheng Hall gathered at the entrance of the palace, crying with blood and tears, demanding justice from the emperor.
At this time, no one cared about whether their deceased family members died because of Chunsheng Hall, or whether they really died of illness. They all gathered at the gate of the palace.
I don't know where it started, but the cry of "deposed prince" suddenly appeared in the mouths of the people. There were even more shouts at the palace gate, which could be heard from a distance.
All over the capital, in the crowds at the gate of the palace, there are people arranged by various forces lurking among them, constantly inciting speech and the emotions of the people.
