Chapter 1412: Great Changes (Part II)
The old man's edict finally came down, and it was before dark, Li Chengqian took the 'yellow scroll' handed to him by the old eunuch Fang with a bitter face, and left the East Palace that originally belonged to him without any nostalgia.
Things are similar to what he estimated at the beginning, the position of the prince is gone, but fortunately, the king of Hengshan that the old man sealed at the beginning did not take it back to him. So he is still a prince now, although he is said to be a two-character king, but it is much better than a common man, at least for now, he doesn't have to launch a secret force to eliminate those who he doesn't like.
It is estimated that the old man is also afraid that the dog will force him to jump off the wall and play a fish and die in the net, so he will only abolish his position as the prince and retain the title of the prince.
……
The words were divided into two ends, Li Chengqian's side was abolished, and the entire Chang'an City was also bombed at the same time, and hundreds of people looked at the direction of the imperial city in shock after seeing the imperial list notice on the street, and the palace was turned upside down.
Li Tai, who lived in the Wude Palace, closed the door as soon as he knew the news, and asked the guards to block the entire Wude Palace, not allowed to go out or enter, and the food had to be strictly controlled, and he would only eat a little carefully after three or four people tried it.
Li Ke lived outside the palace, and after receiving the news, he wrote a letter to the old man and went out of the city overnight, taking his younger brother Li Ke to his fiefdom non-stop, like some demons and monsters were chasing him behind.
Li You also lived outside the palace, and this kid didn't do anything else after knowing the news, and rushed out of his mansion with people.
If it weren't for the night ghost who met the night ghost who rushed at the door and conveyed Li Chengqian's order to him to stay at home and not come out, this kid would probably take someone to raid the homes of those old guys who complained.
It's a mess, it's a mess, almost all the adult princes are in danger, and they can't wait to dig three feet into the ground and bury themselves.
And the princesses of the palaces were also in a mess, first the son-in-law ran to Li Er and cried for a while, and then Changle went crazy and beat the horse out of the palace, and no one could stop him.
However, His Majesty Li Er couldn't care about these things at the moment, and as soon as the edict of the abolished prince was issued, he summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Chai Shao, Wei Chigong and others.
The number of Jin Wuwei in the palace was doubled, and the left and right guards strictly supervised the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army entering the city, and at the same time confiscated all their equipment and weapons.
In addition, the left and right guards were guarded, and the number of officials patrolling the streets of these two guards increased threefold that night, and Chang'an City also began to be under martial law, and all the city gates were allowed to enter but not to leave, which was completely like a rumor.
And the reason why this situation occurred was because Li Chengqian's power was too huge, and Comrade Li was not sure at all whether this kid would suddenly rebel after he was abolished as the crown prince.
However, in the end, it turned out that His Majesty Li Er was still too worried, and when the left and right guards surrounded the Liaodong Legion and collected their weapons and equipment, they found that the things they needed had been neatly stacked together, and all the soldiers of the Liaodong Legion only had a big pair of pants to cover their bodies.
And the other ministers who were under surveillance also did not react, and Cheng Laoxiang's house was even more open, and he sat shirtless in the courtyard in front of him to drink.
A false alarm!
His Majesty Li Er, who had been rewarded, let out a long breath, and looked at the eldest grandson queen with tears in her eyes with a wry smile, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Second brother, are you so untrustworthy? Why did he have to be deposed as the crown prince? Now that the prince is hanging in vain, do you know how many incidents will arise. My poor Qian'er, I don't know where he is now, he doesn't even have an property outside the palace, and he has never left the East Palace...... "Empress Changsun has been crying for most of the night, and it is useless to persuade Li Er.
In the end, His Majesty Li Er could only tell the truth: "Guanyin, I can't help it, Cheng Qian has really done it this time, I, I can't hold it down." ”
"Second brother don't want to bully the concubines, don't understand, if the entrance ceremony is not with your consent, how can Qian'er dare to make his own decisions, and since you agree, you should think of today's ending." Empress Changsun didn't save any face from Comrade Li, so she exposed his lies on the spot.
"This ......" His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly.
He really had no way to explain the current situation, in fact, what Empress Changsun said was not wrong, he had indeed expected today's result a long time ago.
But he also wanted to use practical actions to tell Li Chengqian's son that the emperor could not carry everything, and sometimes the emperor also needed to compromise.
So he didn't really stop Li Chengqian, but let him toss, anyway, in the end, His Majesty Li Er was confident that he could guarantee that his son could live well, even if he couldn't be the prince, he would be a prince of peace.
Even His Majesty Li Er was still thinking that it might be a good thing to abolish Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince, at least let that kid know what a setback is and what is invincible.
As for saying that the crown prince is not the prince, and the throne is not the throne.
Hmph, just looking at the performance of his own sons tonight, you can know that even if Li Chengqian does not have the position of prince, he is not comparable to those other boys, otherwise they would not be frightened to close the door and return to the fief.
……
The chaos in the palace is only limited to a group of people who have a relationship with Li Chengqian, and people like Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin and others are acting like I don't know what it is.
After all, whether it is the crown prince or the throne, these are all the treatment that only the eldest grandson queen has when she comes out, and others don't even think about it, if they dare to stand up at this time, they may be retaliated against by the eldest grandson emperor at any time.
However, not expressing a position externally does not mean not expressing a position internally, for example, Du He, who bewitched Li Chengqian in the palace in the afternoon, was re-educated by the old man at home at this time.
After returning home in the afternoon, he heard a series of news outside, and his brain was pumped out without knowing why, and he muttered in front of the old man that Li Chengqian didn't know how to seize the opportunity and missed the opportunity, and as a result, he was severely beaten by the old man.
When he had smoked enough, Du Ruhui panted and pointed his finger at Du He and said, "Stupid, really stupid, why did the old man give birth to such a stupid thing as you." ”
"And missed the opportunity, where have you read so many years of books!"
"Do you know what an uncrowned king is? Look at the reactions of the other princes outside, don't you understand? That kid doesn't have to care about the prince or not, that position is just a name, don't believe you look at it, see if that kid is not a prince, who dares to do it. ”
"Why do you think that kid was deposed as the crown prince? Do you think he's going to fall so easily? Do you know why the edict of the deposed prince came down so quickly? I don't know what power you have to make a big fuss! ”
Lao Du was really about to be angry with his second boy, he never expected that Du He would have the idea of bewitching the prince to rebel, if he had known that this kid was so bold, he should have sprayed Ya on the wall in the first place.
Just like what Lao Du just said, everything is developing too fast, so fast that people can't react at all, in fact, if he waits until tomorrow morning and brings this matter of Li Chengqian's work to the court to talk about it, he will definitely get the support of the military.
In other words, in the court debate, Li Chengqian is not necessarily at a disadvantage, and it is very likely that he will crush his opponent in one fell swoop and become the winner.
But none of this happened, His Majesty Li Er made the first move, and directly abolished the position of Prince Li Chengqian, how many meanings there are in this that make it difficult to guess.
But the most basic thing Lao Du knew, that is, His Majesty Li Er already felt that he was about to lose control of Li Chengqian's power expansion, so he would take this opportunity to abolish his position as crown prince at this time.
After being Li Er's right-hand man for so many years, Lao Du is already very familiar with Lao Li, and he often can't guess what His Majesty the Emperor thinks without thinking about it.
And this time Li Chengqian really made a big fuss, if he really suppressed the Shilin family, then he would definitely get the full support of the military, which is what His Majesty Li Er does not want to see.
Therefore, it is not surprising that His Majesty Li Er abolished his position as the crown prince, everything comes down to the fact that this kid is too capable of tossing, and the tossing is a bit excessive, so there will be today's ending.
……
The whole of Chang'an is in chaos, martial law of martial law, random inspection of searches, and what about the hero of our story?
It was surprising to say that this product was actually prieing the door, and it was openly prying the door of someone else's house.
"Xiaobai, what's going on with this door, why can't it be opened?" Holding the tools handed over by Bai Yuening, Li Chengqian worked hard for a long time and finally gave up and handed the tools back to Xiaobai.
"Your Highness has a specialization in the art industry." Xiaobai took back the tools, and without much effort, he opened the lock on the door and handed it over to Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Okay, that's good, but remember, don't tell anyone about today's events." Li Chengqian weighed the lock block in his hand, opened the gate of the courtyard, and walked in first, and finally closed the door by the night ghost who followed in.
……
That night, Songtsen Gampo was censored in his own yamen for nearly half the night, dragging his tired body back to his residence.
But what shocked him was that the door that had been locked when he left was open at this time.
Songtsen Gampo, who was vigilant in his heart, cautiously left the gate of the courtyard, and after taking a few steps back, he ran and grabbed the wall of his yard with his hands, and then with the strength of his arms, the whole person climbed over the wall.
Then he heard a very familiar and disgusting voice coming from below: "Songtsen, do you usually go home by the wall?" ”
It's Li Chengqian's bastard, the bastard who has just been deposed as the crown prince, the bastard who has been censored for most of the night! Damn it!
