The next day.
royal palace.
Prince Hong Chengqian, who was reprimanded again, suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to the East Palace.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. No matter what he did, his father was justified. After all, his father was the emperor.
At this moment, a voice came: "Is there a thirty-year-old prince in this world?"
Hong Chengqian was shocked, who was so bold.
Turning around, he saw that the person speaking was Lu Wenzhao, the deputy capital commander who had been transferred to the East Palace just a few months ago.
Hong Chengqian didn't like this person because he liked to work too hard.
I didn't expect that I would speak out my heart today.
Hong Chengqian said coldly: "Lu Wenzhao, you said such rebellious and unethical words, aren't you afraid of confiscating your home and exterminating your clan?"
Lu Wenzhao knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he knelt down and said impassionedly: "The great minister has been supporting us for hundreds of years, and today is the Day of Death for Righteousness. If His Highness doesn't want to save the great minister, just hand him over to me."
"The great ministers have been serving for hundreds of years, and the Day of Death for Righteousness is today."
Hong Chengqian murmured, feeling very shocked in his heart.
I didn't expect that Lu Wenzhao, who he liked to dig into the camp, could say such a thing.
Seeing something going on, Lu Wenzhao struck while the iron was hot: "The reason why Dafeng has fallen into this situation is simply because the king is ignorant, and the ministers in the court only know how to protect themselves wisely and scrape the land to make money. If there were a wise ruler and wise ministers who dared to do things, With assistance, we will be able to turn the tide."
Lu Wenzhao said he was righteous, but in fact, Lu Wenzhao's life was not very good in the past few years. Because he had little money and no background, his official position kept spinning.
Not long ago, he borrowed a large amount of money and infiltrated the East Palace, hoping to rely on the prince to ascend to power. However, judging from the recent behavior, the prince showed signs of being deposed.
As a subordinate of the prince, Lu Wenzhao couldn't run away.
Just give it a try.
Hong Chengqian asked with a trembling voice: "In your opinion, who is the Ming Lord?"
Thousands of years of etiquette, the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, and the principles of loyalty and filial piety are engraved in everyone's heart, even the prince is no exception.
Not to mention, Hong Chengqian grew up in the palace, did not experience many hardships, and his life was very shallow.
Lu Wenzhao said in a roundabout way: "A sage said something in ancient times."
"What words?"
"If you want to rule the world peacefully, in today's world, no one else can do it but me."
Hong Chengqian looked shocked, these words spoke to his heart.
After being silent for a while, he looked at Lu Wenzhao: "Where is the wise minister?"
Lu Wenzhao touched his head to the ground and said, "The wise minister is here."
At this moment, Lu Wenzhao's heart was beating very fast. If this person was a courageless waste, then there would be a disaster waiting for him.
After a long silence that made Lu Wenzhao think it was over, Hong Chengqian stood up, came to Lu Wenzhao, stretched out his hands to help him up, and asked, "What should I do to save Dafeng?"
"It is natural not to directly kill one's father."
Lu Wenzhao first expressed his attitude.
Hong Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. If Lu Wenzhao said to kill his father directly, he would kill Lu Wenzhao without hesitation.
Even if he did this, the emperor would not be able to sit still.
Lu Wenzhao added: "With your Majesty's character, it is impossible for you to give up your throne voluntarily."
Hong Chengqian wanted to strangle Lu Wenzhao to death. If so, then he couldn't do anything.
Lu Wenzhao lowered his voice and said: "In ancient times, there was a king who gave up the throne to his second son in order to focus on fighting. Later, he regretted it and wanted to pass it to his eldest son. So the second son sent troops to surround the palace and starve the king to death. ”
Hong Chengqian's eyes lit up, this was a good idea, but then he couldn't bear it anymore.
Lu Wenzhao caught this scene just in time, and secretly knew that he would encounter this problem, so he did the opposite: "If His Highness wants to be a filial son with a small family, then the minister said nothing and everyone looked at Dafeng together. It’s better to perish.”
Hong Chengqian frowned and said, "What do you mean everyone?"
Lu Wenzhao said: "It is everyone who carries the country and the country."
After Hong Chengqian walked back and forth in the room for a while, he made a decision and said to Lu Wenzhao: "For the sake of the country and the country, I can only ask my father to die."
"Your Highness is wise"
Lu Wenzhao touched his head to the ground.
Hong Chengqian looked a little dazed. Although he said he was noble, he could not change the fact that he forced his father to death.
…
Night half a month later.
Bandung listened to the opera as usual.
Ever since he completely ruined his life by ignoring the minister, his life has been incredibly comfortable.
The eunuch on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, because Your Majesty did not allow him to take up an official position and did not appoint officials, he moved to the City God's Temple."
"Whatever"
Wan Long looked indifferent.
The eunuch added: "Many official positions such as the Commander of the Royal Palace Guards and the Admiral of the Pure Army have been vacant for more than two months."
"It's been empty for more than two months, so it's not like everything is business as usual."
Wan Long said confidently.
In his opinion, these officials were of no use except a waste of his money.
"Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom"
The eunuch said helplessly.
At this time, someone came in and said something in the eunuch's ear, and the eunuch quietly retreated.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Wanlong didn't want to listen to the show anymore. He turned around and saw that the eunuchs and maids serving him were gone.
Puzzled: "Where are the people?"
No one responded.
Wan Long stood up and lifted his belt. In the past few years, he has become mellower at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Belts are often loose.
When I came outside, I saw corpses on the ground with a horrified expression.
After taking a few steps back, he shouted: "Here comes someone, escort me"
No one responded.
He returned to the stage and said to the troupe: "Come and escort him quickly."
The troupe members looked at Wan Long with blank expressions.
Wan Long stopped caring about them and ran out in a panic. When he reached the gate, he found that the door was locked.
As he banged on the door, he shouted: "Where have all the people died?"
Outside the gate.
Prince Hong Chengqian stood in military uniform, with Lu Wenzhao standing next to him.
Hearing his father's call, Hong Chengqian couldn't bear it. He walked forward and said through the crack in the door: "Father, can you give up the throne to your son?"
After a moment of silence, there was an angry curse: "You traitor, it's you. You are so bold. You dare to usurp the throne. I will chop you alive."
Hong Chengqian continued: "Father, can you give up the throne to your son?"
Wan Long cursed loudly: "Go ahead and dream of your spring and Autumn period. Even if I die, I will never pass the throne to you. If you have the guts, kill me and see what the world thinks of you, an unfilial beast."
Wan Long was really mad.
He was actually plotted against by his own son.
Hong Chengqian showed a painful expression, and as expected, Lu Wenzhao was right, his father was unwilling to compromise.
In this case, don't blame yourself for being unfilial.
"Father, for the sake of everyone, I have no choice but to give up my little family."
After speaking, Hong Chengqian turned around and left resolutely.
"Beast, come back to me, come back..."
Bandung yelled.
Lu Wenzhao ordered the imperial guards of the East Palace: "Seal this place down. Once the work is done, everyone will be rewarded."
Then, he frightened everyone: "The prince is doing this to save Dafeng. Think about it, if you let your majesty rule the country, one day the rebels will invade, what will happen to you and your family."
Everyone who was still a little hesitant showed firm expressions.
This Your Majesty does not look like a personal monarch.
On the contrary, the prince said that he would force his father to death, so he would force his father to death, and he was more like an emperor.
