Lord Yin Huang of Jingzhao Prefecture walked in anxiously and saw that the emperor and King Zhao were playing chess. The prince was kneeling aside for some reason. The two looked at each other. Lord Huang quickly looked away, then knelt down to salute.
"My lord, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, please see your majesty and the prince."
He prostrated on the ground, and the people sitting there remained silent, as if they had not heard, and continued to play chess. King Zhao took a look, and saw that the emperor had no intention of speaking, so he had to remain silent.
If it was just a fight between the Crown Prince and King Sui, King Zhao would definitely not care.
Qingfeng Villa fell into the hands of King Sui. King Sui intended to use it to win people's hearts and gain reputation. The prince would naturally be anxious and it was normal for him not to tolerate the existence of Qingfeng Villa.
But the prince should never involve Li Lin in this matter, and even think about letting him take the blame and make up for what he did.
The prince, as the crown prince, will be the emperor in the future, but he has no care for his subjects. The imperial city is densely populated, and once the fire is out of control, many families will be destroyed.
As for the prince, not only did he do this, he even threw it on innocent people and let others suffer such unreasonable disasters. It was really unkind and selfish.
Regardless of whether the other party is a commoner or a powerful person, the prince should not do this.
The emperor was also angry in his heart. The prince had really disappointed him. How could the prince, who had no kindness and love for his people, leave the country in his hands in the future.
Moreover, as the crown prince, he didn't even have the ability to judge people. Although Li Lin was now a poor official, the magnanimity he had cultivated in him was not something that just anyone could have.
Li Lin gave Su Wan the engagement gift, as well as the ice armor. They were all good things that ordinary people could get.
If such a person appears in the imperial city, if he is smart, he will check his background immediately, so as not to know who he is from other countries, where he lives, who his relatives are, and where he lived before. .
The prince, on the other hand, was arrogant and arrogant. He didn't even know who the other person was, yet he dared to put the lid on someone.
The emperor was disappointed with the prince, and then felt uncomfortable. If the prince couldn't hold up this position, then who else could? !
King Sui is better than the prince, but the emperor is unwilling to do what King Sui says. The Zhao family is powerful. If King Sui becomes emperor, the Zhao family, as a relative, will be even more unscrupulous, which will not be a good thing for the country or the court.
Who knows who will be named Zhao in the future? !
The emperor would never agree to this matter, but if it goes any further, Prince Ming will be cowardly and incompetent, and the Ninth Prince will still be a six-year-old baby.
The emperor thought of Li Lin, and then glanced at the prince kneeling on the ground. He was suddenly exhausted mentally and physically. If the prince was successful, there was no need for him to worry.
Before, I wanted to see how many moves the prince could take on Li Lin, but before he could take action, the prince had already jumped like this.
How ridiculous.
The emperor felt that if he had had the brains of the prince when he first took over the throne, the tree on his grave would have grown into a big tree.
The prince didn't know the complexity and disappointment in the emperor's heart. He and Mr. Huang looked at each other, both wondering whether the emperor knew about this and how to hide it.
"Brother Emperor, it's your turn."
King Zhao suddenly spoke, the emperor came to his senses, and then dropped a piece, which happened to be a draw, and the two brothers were evenly matched.
After playing chess, the emperor calmed down a little and was able to deal with the prince's affairs, so he asked: "The prince has been thinking about it for so long, but he knows where he went wrong?!"
The prince knelt on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment: "My lord, my lord, I know I was wrong."
"Oh? What's wrong with that?!"
The prince bit his lip and said, "My son, what's wrong? What's wrong..."
He was stammering and hesitating because he didn't know how to continue.
"Bang!" The emperor waved his hand, and the chess pieces on the chess table clattered to the ground. The chess pieces were made of black and white jade. When they landed on the ground, they were like pearls and jade, and kept bouncing.
There was a dead silence in the palace, and the people inside didn't dare to take a breath.
The emperor said coldly: "At this time, how dare you not tell the truth!"
The prince was as quiet as ice for a moment, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
The emperor stared at him for a long time, and when he saw that he remained silent, his expression became even worse: "You don't want to say that, right? Jingzhao Prefecture Yin!"
Mr. Huang's heart trembled, and his whole body trembled: "Your Majesty, I am here, I am here."
The emperor's face was cold: "You tell me!"
Mr. Huang dared to talk about the prince's affairs. He stumbled and said: "I don't know, I am the governor of Jingzhao. Someone reported the fire in Qingfeng Courtyard, and someone gave evidence that it was Li Jingyuan who set the fire." , so I took people to arrest them, and I didn’t know anything about the rest.”
Until now, I am still trying to cheat my way through.
"waste!"
Mr. Huang was trembling, lowering his head and not daring to speak, and the sweat on his forehead was falling drop by drop.
"Prince, do you now know where you went wrong?!"
"There are densely packed buildings in the Imperial City. Even if you don't want Lao Wu to use Qingfeng Villa to gain fame, you can't joke about it. Once the fire is out of control, half of the Imperial City will suffer!"
The emperor didn't care about the fight between the prince and King Sui, but he couldn't see him making fun of the people.
The prince closed his eyes, and then said: "I know I was wrong, I was the one who made the mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"
The emperor scolded: "I think you don't know!"
The prince shut up again.
Seeing him like this, the emperor felt a heartache in his heart, so he said: "Come here, please bring the prince back to the East Palace. He is not allowed to come out without my order. Let the prince reflect and reflect!"
"Prefect of Jingzhao, the Qingfeng Courtyard matter is due to your poor management. This happened under your nose. I don't care what method you use to restore the burned house within three months."
Mr. Huang was sweating profusely and said yes urgently.
The emperor continued: "After this matter is completed, you will submit your resignation. I can't trust you to leave the safety of the imperial city to you now."
Mr. Huang was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale in vain. What the emperor said was that he was going to take off his official position!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty forgives me. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for once!"
The emperor said: "I don't need you to know your mistakes. I only know that you did things unfavorably and took advantage of official duties to do things that benefit yourself. My governor of Jingzhao and the chief of the imperial city cannot be so selfish and bully others." "
"Come here, please bring the crown prince and the governor of Jingzhao out."
Mr. Huang screamed in surprise and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Queen Yuanming, please spare me and the prince this time. The prince is your majesty's first wife and legitimate son!"
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
