Chapter 1,116: The Second Brother Still Feels that He Hates the Abolished Queen

A letter from the Empress caused an uproar in the already shocked court.

Many courtiers' expressions changed greatly. Can King Chen be the crown prince of the East Palace?

Only the queen who was about to be deposed dared to say this. However, because of the queen's words, many people secretly swayed to the queen's side, thinking that the queen was worthy of being the queen. After all, the queen herself had a biological son, King Zhou, not to mention King Zhou. But mentioning King Chen, it can be seen that the queen sitting in the back seat is indeed selfless, and she should not harm Princess Chen.

For a time, the focus of everyone's attention immediately shifted from the matter of abolishing the queen to the matter of establishing a direct line.

Although the abolition of the queen was a major event and closely related to the previous dynasty, it certainly did not have as big an impact on the previous dynasty as the establishment of a prince. It was unjustifiable to establish a nephew instead of a biological son, but if you take into account the former emperor, this king Chen Indeed, he is the most orthodox successor.

It makes sense to establish King Chen as the crown prince.

More than ten years after the death of the late emperor, there are still many old ministers who still remember the late emperor in their hearts and want to support King Chen to ascend to the throne. However, King Chen's previous health was really unsatisfactory. I heard that he is in danger of losing his health. Of course, he can't sit on the Dragon Throne, but now many people feel that King Chen's health has recovered.

Even if he is not perfect, he is still almost the same as ordinary people.

Just by looking at him rushing to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, you can tell that such an intensity of running definitely requires a strong body. Although some people said that King Chen's health was better before, everyone felt that it was not credible. He must be ill after all. I have been a man for more than ten years, and I almost lost my life several times. How can I say it will be fine!

But now, everyone no longer doubts that King Chen's health is really better. Facts are better than words, and everything should be based on facts.

Now that King Chen is in good health, he naturally has the right to inherit. Regardless of his status as the eldest son of the late emperor, even if he is the current emperor, King Chen can still be in the East Palace. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was in front of all the ministers. He said in person that he treated King Chen as his biological son, and allowed King Chen to enter the ranking of several princes.

King Chen was also called "son minister" in front of the emperor. Since he also had the title of "father and son", he certainly had the right to inherit.

Compared with a pure nephew like Prince Qing, Prince Chen's reasons are more acceptable.

There was another quarrel in the court. This time the quarrel was about whether King Chen could be ranked in the East Palace. Some people agreed, and naturally some people objected. The censors all made impassioned speeches, including everything they said. The censor himself was divided into two factions, each holding his own opinions and arguing.

Almost all the ministers in the dynasty were involved. Only a few princes looked very calm, as if nothing had anything to do with them. There were also a few important ministers who still maintained their own attitudes and did not join in the quarrel.

Compared with the previous abolition matter, this time the quarrel was more extensive. The courtiers were racking their brains every day to try to get the emperor to agree with their statement. In private, there was even more undercurrent.

At this time, who cares about whether it is abolished or not?

The emperor's attitude was unpredictable. He was wearing the emperor's crown and sitting high up in the hall. He was watching the quarrels among the ministers, but he didn't say a word. He was a little far away and couldn't clearly see the expression on his face. .

King Cheng glanced up secretly and lowered his head hurriedly. Although he stood close to the front, he could not see clearly the emperor's face. Was it anger or resentment?

King Cheng guessed that there were several attitudes.

If he gets the throne, the ministers will ask him to pass the throne to his nephew, and he will be angry if he changes it.

It's not like he doesn't have any sons. He obviously has three adult sons, so why should he pass the throne to his nephew?

But he really can't see through his imperial brother, and he can still bear it without saying a word. Could it be that he really has a good feeling for King Chen? Or was the death of the late emperor really an accident?

King Cheng still thinks it is impossible. He also vaguely inquired about some things and laid out the plan. He doesn't believe that the late emperor died like that, and he died after taking medicine?

Kazuto planned secretly before and did not reveal the events of that year to the public, but the matter of King Chen was pushed to the front?

The queen actually went to Zhezi to ask King Chen to become the crown prince. King Cheng never thought before that Chu Liuchen was the nephew he least expected. Compared to Chu Liuxin, he felt that there was no danger and the throne was impossible. It fell on this sick man who was separated by a layer.

King Cheng's attention had never been on Chu Liuchen before.

Everything that involves Prince Chen's Mansion is because Prince Chen can be used to cause trouble, or the Prince Chen's Mansion can be made the center of conflicts and a sharp sword to attack other people.

But I never thought that one day, this sharp sword would have its own meaning! King Cheng was caught off guard.

Why did he have no news at all about when Chu Liuchen's health would recover? So he couldn't cope with it right now, and he didn't even know what to do for a while.

After planning for so many years, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the emperor's brother, he even repeatedly made noises about becoming a monk. He did not even marry the princess, and now he has no heirs.

I originally thought that my plan was very comprehensive, but I didn't expect Chu Liuchen to appear out of the blue. If I had found out that Chu Liuchen was in good health early, I would have secretly taken action and dealt with him with all my strength. It would not have been like before. The focus is not on him.

It was too late at this time. King Cheng could be sure that after this time, no matter what the emperor's attitude was, King Chen could be the prince of the East Palace, which became a matter of consideration for many ministers, and there were also some courtiers who had stayed in the previous dynasty. , basically all became important ministers.

Compared with his own management of more than ten years, Chu Liuchen's move was very high-profile, but it was also very powerful. Anyone who tried to deal with him with all his strength would definitely arouse suspicion from others.

Just like Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, there are constant moves between them in private, but on the surface, there is almost no conflict between them.

The important thing is to let Chu Liuchen take the advantage.

First, he convinced the ministers that his health was fine, and then the queen went to the throne. Everything was almost perfect and fell into place naturally.

He clenched his fists vigorously and lowered his head. He could bear it, but what he couldn't bear was his two nephews. Those two originally thought that the throne was in their hands.

Just wait for them to fight first and reap the benefits.

The strength in his hands is still a little smaller, and those people can still cooperate more. At least he won the throne and made appropriate concessions to those people.

King Cheng made up his mind here, lowered his head and listened motionlessly to the quarrel of the ministers.

Chu Liuyue's eyes turned coldly, falling on Chu Liuchen from time to time, and then moved away.

Chu Liuzhou's face was the ugliest and most revealing, but he also lowered his head vigorously because he was afraid that people would find something on his face.

The queen mother submitted a letter and found out that the person she wanted to be granted the title was Chu Liuchen. King Zhou almost smashed everything in the study.

Chu Liuxin also came to court. He still looked completely empty, staring at the space in front of him, as if no matter how noisy around him, it had nothing to do with him.

Among the princes, he was the youngest, but he looked the most decadent and had no energy at all. He had been in this state for a long time and was reprimanded by the emperor several times. However, Chu Liuxin still went his own way and just mentioned it like this. I can't help but look like I don't have any strength.

When the time was almost up, Derong shouted to withdraw from the court, and the emperor left with his people, leaving behind the courtiers who had been so noisy just now that their faces turned red and thick-necked, without leaving a word.

The emperor was gone, so why was there any quarrel? The hall immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They each snorted coldly, flicked their sleeves and left.

The princes walked at the end, and Chu Liuchen walked behind as usual, but Chu Liuyue stopped and waited for him.

"Third brother!"

"Brother, what's the matter?" Chu Liuchen said calmly.

"Third brother, what a good plan!" King Zhou couldn't help but said, his face was livid, and his fists were clenched. He was afraid that he would take action if he couldn't help it anymore.

"Second brother, what do you mean by this?" Chu Liuchen suddenly smiled lazily, stretched out his hand and tapped Chu Liuzhou's hand, "Second brother, do you think it would be better for the ministers to discuss the matter?"

With one word, Chu Liuzhou's face suddenly turned pale, and his anger immediately receded like a tide. He was not really stupid, he was just a little impulsive. At this time, he was awakened by Chu Liuchen and looked at the side. Chu Liuyue snorted coldly, turned around and left.

He was afraid of walking slower, so he couldn't help but pinch Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuchen.

Deposing the queen means deposing him. Compared with asking for Chu Liuchen, it is much better for him personally. Chu Liuzhou is very anxious and wants to ask his mother what the queen means, but these days he even Even if he entered the palace, he could not enter Fengyi Palace. Every time, the queen refused him due to physical discomfort.

It can be said that he has never met the queen in private since the incident until now.

"Third brother, how about we go for a walk together?" Chu Liuyue watched Chu Liuzhou leave and invited.

"Okay!" Chu Liuchen replied lazily.

The two people left the hall one after another.

Chu Liuxin was originally about to leave, but at this time he hesitated and followed them.

The last person to leave the hall was Prince Cheng. Looking at the nephews in front of him, he was not in the mood to join in the fun. Originally, he should act like he didn't care about anything. At this time, he couldn't let the emperor discover anything. .

He turned around and headed towards the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was ill, so Prince Cheng went to the palace every day to stay with the Empress Dowager and take care of her condition.

Compared with others, he is definitely the most filial one. Of course, compared with others, King Cheng also knows his worst weakness. When passing the throne normally, the emperor brother will not pass it to him no matter what.

Unless all his nephews are dead, or even if they are immortal, they are disabled, then that is his last chance.

Of course, it would be better if there was a copy of the late emperor's edict. The most perfect system is for brothers to succeed to brothers. If the emperor's brother can do it, he can do it too. Chu Liuchen caught himself off guard, and his next move must be faster. Some……
