This incident was too shocking, and everyone in the hall had different expressions.

The abolition of the crown prince has a great stake and involves all aspects of the government and the opposition. In this turmoil, some people will inevitably rise and some people will be suppressed.

Several princes, although they are calm as water on the surface, have already rippled in their hearts. If Jiang Cheng is not abolished, where will they have a chance.

Some princeling ministers were shocked and angry, and their expressions were no longer calm. In order to support Jiang Cheng, they have already offended other princes. In the future, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, they may not be able to save their lives, let alone glory and wealth.

Liu Zhijie now understands that this is a good show that Chen Jin just said.

As the prince of Great Qi, how could I surrender my identity, collude with Li Zhao, and do such a rebellious thing. Jiang Cheng was furious, his eyes widened, and he looked at Tao Hengyu viciously.

Chen Jin, as the Zhongshu Ling, is also the uncle of the crown prince Jiang Cheng, and the biggest supporter of the prince on the surface, it is impossible to remain silent.

Chen Jin had an angry expression and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Tao Shilang's words are too ridiculous. As the prince, how could he fornicate with Li Zhao. And according to common sense, this is not good for the prince. Now that the great enemy is present, Tao Shilang does not relieve His Majesty's worries, but maliciously attacks the prince, and his heart can be punished.

Seeing this, Liu Zhijie felt funny in his heart, obviously he directed and acted by himself, but seeing Chen Jin's performance, he wanted to leave himself alone. However, this move is good, if the crown prince's crime is really established, it is not a bad thing for the emperor. For such a major event as the loss of Shudi, someone must take responsibility. Jiang Ningxian will definitely not admit his mistake, the prince's status is noble, and he is suitable to be the scapegoat.

Jiang Ningxian said expressionlessly: "Tao Qing, you should understand what kind of sin it is to frame the prince. "

Wechen dares to guarantee with his life, this matter is absolutely true. If the minister has half a lie, he is willing to die in this hall. Tao Hengyu swore solemnly.

Jiang Cheng roared angrily: "You deserve to die! Prince Ben has never left Jinling in the past two years, and he has never seen Li Zhao at all, how could he have an affair with him." You sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, full of lies, look like a traitor. He looked at Jiang Ningxian again and said, "Father and Emperor Mingjian, the sons and daughters can clearly share the benefits and disadvantages, and they will never do such a thing."

Jiang Ningxian also felt that Jiang Cheng was unlikely to do such a thing, the prince's mansion had always had his eyes, and he had never heard that Jiang Cheng had contacted Li Zhao, but since Tao Hengyu dared to openly attack the prince, did he really have any evidence in his hands?

The other princes, as well as the ministers, quickly turned their brains and thought about who this Tao Hengyu was. In my impression, this person is low-key, and when the second prince Jiang Yan got married, this person went to congratulate him. Zhou Zhaopeng, the head of the household, gave birth to a child, and this person also gave gifts. Could it be that the second prince, Jiang Yan, instructed him to do this. The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible, and their eyes inadvertently glanced at Jiang Yan and Zhou Zhaopeng.

Jiang Yan's face was calm, but he shouted in his heart that he had been wronged, and this matter today had nothing to do with him. If it was planned by his uncle Zhou Zhaopeng, it was impossible not to discuss such a major event with him in advance.

Tao Hengyu didn't let everyone wait too long, took out four or five letters from his arms, and said in the surprised eyes of everyone: "Your Majesty, these letters were written by the prince to Chen Ran, the assassin of Chengdu. In the letter, the prince asked Chen Ran not to send troops to Hanzhong, and to confine the sword gate. even told Chen Ran that no matter how the DPRK impeached him, the Prince's Mansion could ensure that Chen Ran was safe and sound. Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, if Chen Ran had sent troops to Hanzhong in time and cooperated with Liu Sihong to exterminate the Zhaowu Army, how could Li Zhao be as rampant as he is now. After

that, in front of everyone, the contents of the letter were publicly displayed in the main hall.

After Jiang Ningxian saw it, he recognized the prince's handwriting, and his expression turned cold.

Jiang Cheng's face was pale, and cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.

Chen Jin said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Tao Shilang is crazy, these letters must be forged, and they must not be trusted."

Tao Hengyu said sharply: "Lord Chen, you must know that you are not only the prince's uncle, but also His Majesty's courtier, and the imperial court's Zhongshu order." Don't you think it's inappropriate to protect the prince in this way? As for the source of the letter, when Chen Ran was in Jinling, he was friendly with Weichen. Before the fall of Chengdu, these letters were sent to Wechen. He

looked at the prince again, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you dare to swear to the sky in front of Your Majesty, saying that these letters were not written by you?"

Jiang Cheng felt fear in his heart, Wang Jing, the assassin of Hanzhong, was Jiang Yu's person, and later the imperial court sent Jiang Yan's cousin. He originally wanted to suppress the other two princes, but he didn't expect that he would be cheaper than Li Zhao.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had not spoken, Jiang Ningxian lost patience and said, "Prince, you tell me, did you write these letters?"

Under Jiang Ningxian's pressure, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to lie, knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, "These letters were indeed written by Erchen, but Erchen really didn't collude with Li Zhao." "

The prince is finished!" the thought quickly flashed through everyone's minds.

It doesn't matter whether Jiang Cheng colluded with Li Zhao or not, what matters is that Shu Land fell, and Jiang Cheng really can't get out of it.

Jiang Ningxian was instantly furious, kicked Jiang Cheng fiercely, and scolded: "You idiot, how can you do such a thing? Are you right about my thousands of subjects? Are you right about your ancestors? I am so remorseful, how can I give birth to a scum like you."

"Erchen originally intended, but he didn't want to help Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu, but he never expected that things would turn out like this in the end. Jiang Cheng wept bitterly.

Many ministers looked at Jiang Cheng like fools. Especially the prince's party, the face is like ashes. The prince has obviously lost his bearings, and this kind of thing cannot be put on the table.

"Jiang Cheng is immoral, he is a sinner of my Great Qi, please abolish his position as prince as soon as possible. Tao Hengyu took advantage of the victory to pursue, obviously trying to beat Jiang Cheng into the abyss.

The opportunity was rare, and Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu's ministers stood up one after another to support the abolition of the prince.

Jiang Cheng had a premonition that the situation was not good, his eyes were red, his eyes were murderous, he stared at Jiang Yan, and his voice was extremely gloomy, "Hehe.......... , worthy of being my good brother, the timing is really good. As soon as Shu Di was lost, he couldn't wait to attack me. I'm afraid you've been waiting for this day for a long time. Immediately, he

looked at Zhou Zhaopeng, the head of the household, "Zhou Shangshu, today's scene must have cost you a lot of effort." Aren't you happy that you have finally got what you want now?"

Zhou Zhaopeng frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I am stupid, I don't understand what His Highness is talking about."

"You old immortal, keep pretending. I tell you, don't dream, even if I am deposed, Jiang Yan will not be able to be the prince. "。

Jiang Cheng's emotions were out of control, and he had no intention of stopping at all, and said to Jiang Ningxian: "Father, the loss of Hanzhong is indeed related to his sons. But Jiang Yu's uncle Wang Jing was rampant in Hanzhong, and most of the money he embezzled was given to Jiang Yu. Then Jiang Yu used them to bribe the ministers of the DPRK and China and cultivate his own power. If it weren't for Wang Jing, where would there be so many mountain bandits in Hanzhong, and how could Li Zhao rise quickly? I am guilty, but Jiang Yu is also guilty, and he is the culprit of the troubles in Hanzhong. Although

Wang Jing is Jiang Yu's uncle, the reason why he can become the assassin of Hanzhong is that the emperor forcibly appointed him. The prince's words, while attacking Jiang Yu, also implicated the emperor.

Sure enough, Jiang Ningxian's face was gloomy.

Jiang Yu was originally in a good mood and was fantasizing about a bright future. Suddenly, when he heard these fierce remarks against himself, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended: "Erchen is wronged, and what Wang Jing did, Erchen doesn't know at all. Before Wang Jing went to Hanzhong, Erchen specially told him and asked him to treat the people of Hanzhong well. I didn't expect him to do such an evil thing behind his son's back. "

Haha........ , how can you say such brazen words, do you treat everyone here as a fool?" Jiang Chengxiao's tears flowed out.

"The eldest brother should also be cautious to say that since he has done something wrong, he should devote himself to repentance. "

Wang Jing's account book is in my hand, and it is very clearly recorded that in February of the previous year alone, I gave you 200,000 taels of silver, do you want someone to take it for you to see?"

Jiang Yu's heart sank, and he was about to speak.

"That's enough! shut up!" Jiang Ningxian suddenly scolded.

Jiang Ningxian was annoyed in his heart, he was both an emperor and a father. When the son makes a mistake, the father naturally can't get out of it. Those old foxes in the hall, who knows what they are thinking now.

What happened in the court today can already be called a scandal, tearing the last fig leaf of the royal family.

The ministers were dumbfounded, didn't they want to discuss how to deal with Li Zhao? How did things develop like this?

Chen Jin stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is certainly at fault. But as a prince, he hopes to give him another chance. The minister is willing to guarantee with his life, and the prince will be able to repent and reform.

Jiang Cheng was moved, he had fallen to such a point, and Chen Jin still didn't give up on him.

Liu Zhijie glanced at Chen Jin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of acting skills can be described as superb, and they are almost surpassing his father. Even Jiang Ningxian couldn't have imagined that Chen Jin would attack his own nephew.

"Spread the decree, Jiang Cheng lost his morality, for his own selfishness, causing Shu to fall into the hands of the enemy. If I don't punish him severely, I'm sorry for the tens of millions of subjects of Daqi, and I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors. From now on, the position of Prince Jiang Cheng will be abolished, demoted to a concubine, and he will be in the Zongfu for the rest of his life. Jiang Ningxian said coldly.

When Jiang Cheng heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Cheng was extremely unwilling in his heart, was it really all his fault? This was definitely not the case!

As the eldest son, from childhood to adulthood, for a long time, he thought that he would inherit the throne in the future. In order to be worthy of the dragon chair, he also worked hard, studied all night, and desperately familiarized himself with government affairs. In order to observe the people's feelings, he only brought a small entourage and visited the countryside many times.

It turned out that these efforts were futile and almost pointless.

There are big hands that secretly control everything.

The forces of Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu rose rapidly in the court, seriously threatening Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Ningxian turned a blind eye.

Gradually, Jiang Cheng understood. He must be involved in the open and secret struggle between the DPRK and China, and he can't hide at all. Once defeated, there is only one way out.

At this time, several soldiers walked into the main hall, intending to drag Jiang Cheng down.

Jiang Cheng quickly got up, took out the short knife from his arms, and put it on his neck.

The change happened too suddenly, and everyone was surprised, including Chen Jin and Liu Zhijie.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Ningxian's pupils dilated suddenly, staring at Jiang Cheng.

"Haha.......... Jiang Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed, looking like crazy, "Father, do you guess?"

"Put down the knife and spare your life."

With all his strength, Jiang Cheng said angrily to everyone in the hall: "You are also familiar with a hundred books, and the sage said that the Son of Heaven should have a benevolent heart and be considerate of all the people." In your opinion, does the emperor in front of him really have a benevolent heart?"

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, Jiang Cheng dared to openly criticize the emperor, is he crazy?

" Nonsense, take him down quickly!" Jiang Ningxian said sharply.

"Who dares to come over?" Jiang Cheng did not hesitate, and slashed his left wrist with a sharp blade, and bright red blood spilled all over the ground.

The crowd was taken aback. Chen Jin frowned, he had always thought that he knew Jiang Cheng very well, but he didn't expect Jiang Cheng's personality to be so strong.

"Prince Ben is about to leave, and if you have any words, you won't vomit or be unhappy. It's not that I don't want to be a good prince, but I really can't help it. None of you are stupid people, what the emperor has done over the years, don't you know it?" Turning his head to look at Jiang Ningxian, Jiang Cheng said disdainfully: "Erchen's life was given by his father, and now I will return it to you." "

Hurry up and stop him!" Jiang Ningxian said urgently.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Jiang Cheng quickly stabbed his neck with a short knife and fell straight to the ground.

Quiet! The hall was as quiet as death, and the needle drop could be heard.

Everyone was stunned, Jiang Chengcheng died like this? Why did things become like this?

Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu looked sluggish, and there was no joy of victory in their hearts at all. Jiang Cheng can't die, but he definitely shouldn't die here.

Chen Jin stepped forward quickly, hugged Jiang Cheng's body in his arms, and burst into tears.

No one spoke, and he didn't know what to say?

Tao Hengyu, who was originally aggressive, had a cold sweat on his forehead. He really regretted it, regretted that he shouldn't have been involved. The emperor died of his son, how could it be possible to bypass him.

"Retreat.

Jiang Ningxian's voice was so small that most people didn't hear it, and the eunuch next to him shouted again.

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and they were in no mood to discuss the matter, and slowly retreated after saluting.

When Jiang Yan was about to leave the hall, he looked back at Jiang Cheng who was lying on the ground, and saw the dark red blood around him, and his mood was complicated.

Chen Jin and Liu Zhijie walked at the back of the line, Liu Zhijie said lightly: "I got what I wanted today, are you still happy?"

Chen Jin looked displeased and ignored him.

"Jiang Cheng's move, did you expect it in advance?"

"No!"

................................................

After Tao Hengyu returned home, he went to Xinna's concubine.

He was now in a state of anxiety and in dire need of the beauty's comfort.

Seeing her panicked, the concubine asked what happened, and Tao Hengyu briefly talked about what happened in the court today.

After listening to this, the concubine smiled and said: "This is the flower tea I just brewed, it has the effect of calming the nerves, and the husband will taste it."

Tao Hengyu took the cup and drank it slowly.

After a while, Tao Hengyu felt a sharp pain in his chest, rolled back and forth on the ground, and slowly lost his breath.

The concubine sneered, and then left in a hurry.
