If it were the Queen's hand, the situation would be different for the Northwest Si family without the Queen Mother as their backer!
Moreover, in the early years, the emperor was controlled by the queen mother for so many years, and later he was unable to obtain the military power of the Northwest Si family, which made the emperor already full of resentment towards the queen mother!
He even felt that if the Queen Mother hadn't refused to let go of the military power in the northwest and protected Prince An when he grew up, this situation wouldn't be like this at all!
If he could hold all the military power of the Five Armies in his hands, how could he be as aggrieved as he is now?
Whenever he thought about this, he was filled with resentment and nowhere to vent his anger.
As soon as the queen and the prince stepped into the royal study, they saw the emperor with a gloomy face and two volumes of imperial edicts in his hands!
The queen and the prince looked at each other, and both saw the same sinister look in the other's eyes.
The mother and son greeted each other, and the emperor spoke first: "Why are you two here?"
There was annoyance in their tone. These two people have been causing trouble for themselves recently, but when they think of the imperial edict at hand...
The queen immediately raised a smile, held a cup of soup in her hand, and walked to the emperor's desk: "Your Majesty, I was worried that you were too tired, so I made soup specially."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, looked at the soup cup that the queen put in front of him, and said with some surprise: "Just let the servants carry it, why did you bring it yourself?"
How many years has it been since the Queen took such a hands-on approach? Today, for the first time, something like this happened?
The emperor looked up and found that only he, Eunuch Dehai, the queen and the prince were left in the entire royal study. When he lowered his head, he saw the two volumes of imperial edicts lying aside.
Thinking of the unusual behavior of the queen and the prince at this time, not taking any palace people with them and closing the door of the imperial study room, he immediately understood.
His brows suddenly frowned, and his face instantly darkened. He looked at Eunuch Dehai angrily: "You dog slave! Did you tell the two of them about my plan?!"
He had just made up his mind to establish a crown prince today, and immediately went to the imperial study room to draft the decree. No one knew about it except Eunuch Dehai who was waiting beside him!
Besides Eunuch Dehai, who else could he have revealed to the Queen and the Crown Prince?
Eunuch Dehai immediately knelt down and knocked his forehead on the ground, but said nothing.
When the prince saw this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately turned to look at the emperor with a flattering smile on his face.
"Father, don't blame Eunuch Dehai. It was his son who asked him to do this. He also cares about his father!"
"When you say you care about me, it's obviously about you!" The emperor was still angry. He was obviously dissatisfied that Dehai would report to the prince. However, since the target was the prince, he would not be too angry after all.
"If you care about your son, you care about your father!" The prince was careful to please him. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a decent mood, he finally couldn't help but cast his eyes on the two volumes of imperial edicts.
"Father, have you really made your decision? Are you going to abolish your son's position as crown prince and make your second brother the crown prince instead?"
When the prince said these words, his expression and tone were a little aggrieved, and he deliberately used the title of "son" instead of "son". It was obvious that he wanted to make amends and wanted to see the result. Can it be saved?
When the emperor saw the prince's weak attitude, his expression softened a lot. He glanced at the two volumes of imperial edicts at hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"I told you a long time ago that you must do things cleanly and neatly, and don't leave any tail for yourself, but you just didn't listen!"
"Look how many times you've stabbed me during this time? My father can't hold it down anymore!" When he said this, the emperor's face was full of hatred.
"Now that the situation in Great Zhou is unstable, your third brother's rebellious son actually dares to proclaim himself king. The only solution for now is to stabilize the situation first and let your second brother take the position of prince first."
"After that, when the situation in the court is stabilized and the rebellious son is suppressed, it won't be too late for my father to let you sit back as the prince again."
I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the emperor would still have such thoughts. Even King Jin must have never imagined that he was actually a "seat holder"? After taking the limelight, do you want to give it back? !
But when the prince heard this answer, he was obviously still very dissatisfied.
There was a haze in his eyes, and then he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Father, do you really want this? Can't you wait for half a year like before? What if the second brother gets into trouble and refuses to return the position of prince? "
The emperor frowned and said, "If I ask him to pay it back, he has to pay it back! Besides, although your second brother also wants to sit in this position, he will still listen to me, unlike your third brother!"
"You just need to take care of yourself now, clear up all the things that need to be cleaned up, and don't let anything happen again! Otherwise, the position of prince may not still be yours!"
After hearing the emperor's words, the queen and the prince felt disdain in their hearts!
Is King Jin obedient? !
Simply ridiculous!
Only the emperor would believe such a thing! Who would give up this hard-earned seat? !
But regardless of whether the emperor's words were ridiculous or not, the mother and son were certain of one thing -
The emperor has now made up his mind to depose the prince! Let King Jin take the position of prince!
If that's the case, then what's the use of talking more! ?
The queen and the prince looked at each other calmly, and both saw the fierce look in the other's eyes!
Immediately, the prince's expression softened, and he said with full of disappointment: "Well, the son will obey the father's words. It all depends on the father's arrangement. The son must be obedient!"
The emperor finally showed some satisfaction. He originally thought that the prince would make a fuss, but now it seems that the prince is finally calmer.
"Finally, my father's good intentions are not in vain. Please restrain yourself and live a stable life."
After hearing the emperor's seeming instructions, the prince's slightly drooped face was already full of sternness and impatience.
The queen, who had been standing beside the emperor, didn't want to listen anymore. There was no emotion in her eyes, and she just raised her hand and pushed the soup cup.
She raised a warm smile and said, "Your Majesty, this is the soup your son specially ordered the imperial chef to make. Please try it while it's still hot. It's all your son's wish."
When the emperor heard this, he lowered his head to look at the soup cup in front of him, his nose moved slightly, and he sniffed the aroma——
It's my favorite on weekdays.
He nodded with satisfaction, showing some relief: "Finally, my love for you was not in vain."
After saying that, he picked up the soup cup.
However, from an angle that the emperor could not see, the prince could only sneer with deep disdain after hearing the emperor's emotion.
If you really love yourself, why would you give your crown prince position to your second son? How ridiculous!
But the next moment, the prince could no longer care about anything else, his eyes were completely attracted by the emperor.
