Two days later, in the announcement room.
Emperor Qing was lying on the bed very ill, but he still had to hold himself up and face a group of important court officials in the room.
Just because it’s today, just now! Yang Wenyuan reported a huge thing to him.
The prince has rebelled!
Unlike in the past, this time the evidence can be said to be conclusive.
The prince not only disobeyed the decree, he even disobeyed the holy order and secretly escaped from the northern border with his soldiers.
"Your Majesty! From the moment Mr. Li arrived in Pingcheng, he had already taken back the prince's military power.
The prince mobilizing soldiers without permission was already committing a serious crime.
Secondly, he transferred from the army and left the northern border privately. He is still missing. This is even more sinful! "
What Yang Wenyuan said was filled with righteous indignation. If Emperor Qing didn't know something about him, anyone who saw him would think that he was a loyal minister.
Jasmine followed.
"Your Majesty, the prince invaded South Korea's private property first, and then forged weapons without permission. These two items alone have violated the laws of Daqing."
"Originally, he led the troops to exterminate the Xiongnu, but now more than a month has passed, but there has been no movement. Judging from this, His Highness's real purpose is not the Xiongnu at all."
"Yi Weichen thought, it's just to show off and make some achievements in various regions, so that His Majesty will look at him with admiration."
Emperor Qing coughed twice and took a deep breath.
"My dear friends, although the prince is young, he is not so reckless in his actions. Is there any misunderstanding in his behavior? I guess..."
Yang Wenyuan stood up directly and waved his hand!
Even Emperor Qing was not given a chance to continue speaking.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, you have also seen the report. It is clearly written on it. The prince has now led his troops and left the northern border without a trace. How can there be any misunderstanding?"
Yang Wenyuan's words were firm. The conscientious ministers saw Emperor Qing's unhappy expression and quickly stood up to ease the situation.
"Your Majesty, I know that the prince is an upright man. He has done many important things in the court before. After the expedition, he uncovered a major case about the prince consort in Jincheng."
"But even so, no one from the emperor to the subjects can know and break the law just because they have made meritorious deeds. What's more, the prince committed a serious crime."
After hearing what he said, Emperor Qing hesitated to speak.
His chest, which had always felt suffocated, now seemed to be blocked by something, making him feel difficulty breathing.
However, facing Emperor Qing's morbid appearance, Yang Wenyuan still had no intention of stopping.
In fact, he took another step forward, invisibly putting more pressure on Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is leading an army of 30,000 troops. Although the number is small, it is still a big threat to Daqing."
"According to what I see, the situation is very obvious at this time. The prince is afraid of coming back to ask for guilt, so he brings his own troops and horses. Such behavior can be regarded as rebellion and coming to the court."
"Now, I have two suggestions!"
Emperor Qing rubbed his chest and slowed down again and again. When he spoke, he also felt weak.
"What two suggestions?"
"First, immediately abolish Liu Qi's status as crown prince and tell the courtiers all the crimes he has committed now!"
After hearing this, Emperor Qing began to become a little excited again.
He even had to rely on the arm of the attendant beside him to steady himself.
If what Yang Wenyuan said is to be followed, there will no longer be any room for relief when Prince Liu Qi is deposed.
Moreover, from the first moment of issuing the edict, Liu Qi will become a sinner in Daqing! ! !
Emperor Qing took a deep breath and let Laifu beside him step aside.
"What about the second one?"
Yang Wenyuan was overjoyed that Emperor Qing was already following their rhythm step by step.
"Second, Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly!"
"In this situation, a general should be sent immediately to lead troops to find Liu Qi and order him to return to the court. If the prince is still stubborn, he should be killed directly!!"
Except for Yang Wenyuan's confidants, other ministers were in an uproar.
Originally, Yang Wenyuan just wanted to dethrone the crown prince, and that was all. Now, he actually wants his life! !
But in Yang Wenyuan's mind, he either didn't do it, or he had to do it absolutely. Only by cutting off the weeds and root causes can we avoid future troubles.
Li Shouting also wrote in his letter that the prince was definitely not acting recklessly this time and must have his own purpose.
No matter what, as long as a large army is sent to find the prince and destroy him before he completes his plan, there will be nothing that can threaten him.
"Ahem."
These two coughs did not come from Emperor Qing, but from Yang Wenyuan.
Instantaneous time.
All the ministers knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, please abolish Liu Qi's position as Crown Prince! Send troops to destroy him!"
What can Emperor Qing do?
If it were in the past, you could always excuse yourself by giving any reason.
At least, there is no problem in delaying some time for the prince.
But it didn't work this time. The prince had really gone too far, to the point that even if he was the emperor, he couldn't control it.
Qier, Qier, what on earth are you doing?
puff!
No one expected that at this moment, Emperor Qing suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
All the ministers were shocked.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Qing swallowed the bloody foam in his throat hard and returned it to his stomach.
He slowly raised his head and scanned the group of ministers who wanted to "eat people" with piercing eyes.
"This matter... This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it overnight and discuss it in the morning tomorrow."
That’s it, most people just forget about it.
But Yang Wenyuan felt that he should take advantage of the emperor's unconsciousness to settle the matter directly.
In this way, he can let go of his hanging heart.
"Your Majesty, you..."
But what he didn't expect was that Lai Fu, the always kind servant of Emperor Qing, had a fierce look on his face this time.
"Bold Yang Wenyuan, are you so blind that you didn't see the emperor's situation? Or are you trying to force him into the palace?"
Yang Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped back and his head sank to the ground.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"Don't dare! Get out of here!"
Yang Wenyuan gritted his teeth and had no choice. No matter how anxious he was, he could only wait until tomorrow morning.
Wait until Yang Wenyuan and everyone withdraw.
Emperor Qing suddenly laughed twice.
"Laifu, I have never seen you look like you just now."
Laifu was a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant has surprised you."
"No, I like it very much! I have seen you for so many years, but I have never seen you look like this."
However, Laifu's answer was something Emperor Qing did not expect.
"All slaves learned from the prince."
Speaking of the prince, Emperor Qing raised his head and narrowed his eyes.
"Qi'er, what on earth is he doing?"
