Chapter 1692 The Great Temptation of the Supreme Power
Without Fourth Master's obstruction, the plaque of Qianqing Palace would naturally not be kept.
In the early morning of the next day, the Forbidden City exploded.
The guards of the Qianqing Palace were stunned by Mongolian sweat medicine.
After waking up, they found that the "Upright and Bright" plaque of the Qianqing Palace had been smashed to the ground.
And the edict sealed in the brocade box was not only smashed out, but also pasted on the gate of Qianqing Palace.
Everyone woke up and saw that on the bright yellow decree, there were simple and clear words "Emperor's eldest son will be established as the crown prince".
Immediately, this matter spread in the Forbidden City.
The maids and eunuchs in the palace became even more humble when they saw the elder brother.
On this day, fourth master went to court as usual.
At this moment, he is sitting on the dragon chair at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The princes and ministers stood at the bottom, and as usual, one by one reported the things within their respective ranges.
But no one mentioned the fact that the plaque of the Qianqing Palace was smashed last night and the decree of the Li Chu was leaked.
In the end, after the ministers had finished reporting, Fourth Lord took the initiative to mention, "Regarding the fact that the upright plaque of the Qianqing Palace was smashed open last night and the decree was exposed, what do you have in mind?"
Next, the ministers looked at each other, and one of the civil servants replied: "Your Majesty, I heard that the guards of the Qianqing Palace were stunned. It must have been premeditated. It would be better to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation."
What this means is: there is specialization in the art industry, and I am either a civil servant or a military officer. Now that the matter has not been clarified, it is better to let the Ministry of Punishment take care of it. The emperor will not embarrass his ministers.
The fourth master's face was indifferent, and he asked another question, "I think you all know who the prince is in the decree. Do you have any objections to the prince?"
In this regard, the ministers below coincided with each other, "the ministers have no objections."
If they don't know who is written in the imperial decree of the Qianqing Palace, they may still be able to hold their own opinions and support their favorite elder brother.
But it was clearly written in the decree that the eldest son of the direct emperor was appointed as the crown prince.
Then, it means that the emperor planned to make the elder brother the crown prince a few years ago.
If they have any objections here, aren't they rebelling against the emperor and challenging the future emperor?
Moreover, even the relatives of the harem concubines have no objection.
Even if they have objections, they only dare to think about it secretly in their hearts.
Otherwise, if there is something wrong with big brother in the future, they will be the first to be suspected.
Especially at this critical juncture, don't think that the decree of the Qianqing Palace was leaked by their conspiracy.
Not only did the princes and ministers have no objections, some even patted their beards and walked their horses here.
"Big Baylor has a good heart, doesn't need to boast, is smart and capable, and has a good conduct. He should be the prince."
"Eldest elder brother was weak when he was young, but he insisted on practicing martial arts. He was neither arrogant nor impatient.
"A few years ago, the empress was recuperating in the Old Summer Palace. The elder brother was filial. He fasted for the empress for three years. He is really a benevolent and filial elder brother."
Rainbow farts like this are endless in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Even the third elder brother, who is also the elder brother, said: "Big brother is a man of loyalty, and he treats us brothers like brothers and sisters."
It wasn't until the eldest brother of the party said, "I'm just an ordinary brother", that everyone stopped blowing rainbow farts.
After about a stick of incense, they dispersed early.
The elder brother was walking on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony when Su Peisheng invited him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
When the elder brother arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fourth Master was already sitting on the throne of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"May the emperor be safe." The elder brother saluted.
Fourth master sat at the head, his eyes lightly fell on the elder brother.
"You are the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty now, how do you feel?"
Regarding the question raised by the fourth master, the elder brother knelt down and said, "Emperor Ama is as powerful as a dragon and fierce as a tiger, and will last forever. My son is still in the learning stage, and next month is a good day for my son to get married. At present, my son is only I want to get ready for the marriage and marry the unmarried Fujin, after all, my son is eighteen years old."
The translation of this sentence is: You can still be in power for many years, and your son has no idea now, he just wants to marry a wife and have children.
After all, fourth master is both in power and alive.
No one who is a prince will show his ambitious edge when the emperor is in power.
After hearing what elder brother said, fourth master looked down at elder brother who was lowering his head.
It can be said that he was staring at Big Brother closely, and he seemed not to let go of any micro-expression on Big Brother's face.
He pulled his lips, and asked lightly: "Someone wants to know the identity of the prince in the decree, and deliberately exposed this matter, what do you think?"
"My son thinks that everyone will be curious about the prince who has secretly established a crown prince, but ordinary people will not go to the Qing Palace to stun the guards and stick the decree on the gate of the Qing Palace."
"Because the palace is heavily guarded, ordinary people dare not take this risk, nor do they have the ability."
"Unless the other party is the same as the prince, he is very eager to know who the heir apparent is. Maybe he was just curious, but when he found out that it was the prince, he simply made the matter public and made the prince a target. Exposure and danger."
Back then, Huang Ama secretly established the crown prince to protect the crown prince and prevent the crown prince from being put in danger.
In this way, it can also prevent accidents. If Huang Ama is a hundred years later, the ministers will directly book a new emperor to ascend the throne according to the decree in the plaque of the Qianqing Palace, and there will be no endless arguments.
But now, once the prince is exposed in the eyes of everyone, facing the huge temptation of the supreme power, other elder brothers will be hostile to the prince.
Even, want to compare the prince, politically seek power and suppress the prince, or want to physically eliminate the prince.
Not only other princes, but also the cronies of ministers above the court, concubines, eunuchs and relatives in the harem, each has its own hilltop, each has its own princes who support it, and various interest groups will naturally compete and even fight.
In this way, just internal fighting will consume a lot of national resources and weaken the national strength.
The people behind this scene have ulterior motives, not only wanting to put him in danger, but also wanting to destabilize the Qing court! ! !
First up, Fourth Master listened to Big Brother's analysis, nodded slightly, and gave a faint "hmm", "So, which brother do you think did this?"
"This... I don't know." No one made a random decision before the matter was investigated.
What's more, the suspect is still a brother, no matter who you suspect, it will hurt your feelings very much.
Fourth master: "Since you don't know, then step back and investigate this matter thoroughly."
The elder brother raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect the fourth master to ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, although he was a little surprised, he still responded: "Yes, my son will leave!"
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the elder brother went down the steps behind his back.
Seeing that his brows were furrowed tightly, his servant Xiaojingzi followed behind without daring to speak.
But the elder brother turned his eyes slightly, thinking about the conversation between fourth master and him.
