Chapter 161 Dethroning the Crown Prince
Speaking of the latter part, Ye Huaan paused for a few seconds, looked at the prince a few times, and found that the prince had no intention of admitting guilt. His face still had an expression of not admitting defeat and not admitting guilt. He could not help but shake his head in disappointment and labeled him as stubborn.
"Now all the witnesses are detained in the Dali Temple, and they have all confessed their crimes and signed their names. If Your Majesty wishes to see them, I will order them to be brought here immediately."
Emperor Liang had a sullen face, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not in a very good mood. After all, having a son who was eyeing him covetously and hoping for his death was a very frightening thing.
He also knew that Chen Yuechu was saying nice things against his conscience. Chen Yuechu made decisions for him on many matters so that he would not be called a tyrant. He knew very well his own capabilities, and if the Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince did not keep their eyes on his position, he had already decided to pass the throne to the Crown Prince in a few years. By then, he would be the emperor emeritus, which would be just as wonderful.
He never expected that it would be his son who wanted to kill him.
Emperor Liang could have directly convicted the crown prince. If the crown prince pleaded guilty, he would not have planned to depose him.
However, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's attitude and just wanted to beat him to death so that he and the Grand Tutor would never be able to turn things around.
Emperor Liang pinched his brows and leaned back on the dragon chair weakly and tiredly. He had no time to sleep because of this drama. "Then let's meet him. It will also let Liang Linyan know where he did wrong."
Ye Huaan: "Yes."
The prince was already beginning to panic, but he was still pretending to be calm. No, it definitely wouldn't happen. How could this happen to him? It must be Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu who framed him. He had clearly destroyed all the evidence.
The Dali Temple is not a short distance away from the imperial palace. It takes at least half an hour to get there. However, Ye Huaan is so efficient and has taken good security measures, so the prince didn't even have a chance to have someone kill him to silence him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the criminal was sent here under heavy guard. Not only was there a huge fuss, but he also deliberately chose to go to crowded places. If an assassination incident occurred in this incident, it could be directly defined as the prince being guilty and wanting to kill to silence the witness.
Apart from the prince, who else wanted their lives so much?
The onlookers were all guessing who had committed the crime. The direction they were heading was the Central Street, and not a single person from the Purple Palace had come out. Normally, the court would have been dismissed by this time. What big of a matter would require such a large mobilization?
While waiting, Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu stood aside and watched the show. In the middle of the hall, only the prince was kneeling on the ground, not saying a word.
Nan Zhongze went up to him in a fawning manner and showed great courtesy to Emperor Liang. Chen Yuechu's flattering words made him feel a sense of crisis. What if Emperor Liang felt that Chen Yuechu was more useful than him and no longer valued him?
Emperor Liang: Chen Yuechu is more useful than you, but you don’t even consider who you are.
As Chen Yuenian took the lead in speaking, the ministers in the hall plucked up their courage and gathered in twos and threes to whisper. The question was nothing more than how to stand in the future. According to Emperor Liang's character, the prince could not be kept.
There was unexpectedly a large empty space around Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu, which was exactly what they wanted.
Chen Yuenian praised Chen Yuechu. As expected, he was assured of Chen Yuechu's performance. "You found a good person who is quite capable. Ye Hua'an, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is well-known for his integrity and strict law enforcement. The prince has hit a wall this time."
Chen Yuechu humbly accepted his brother's affirmation: "That's right, don't you see who I am?"
Chen Yuenian still didn't dare to make a promise: "Do you think the crown prince will be deposed this time? Deposing a crown prince is not something that can be done with just a few words."
Therefore, at the beginning Chen Yuenian did not think of directly overthrowing the prince, but at least he could make the prince lose some skin and he would not dare to do anything naughty again in the near future.
Chen Yuechu was confident and said with confidence: "Based on my understanding of His Majesty, he would. His Majesty doesn't even want to wait until the witnesses are brought in. The longer the time is, the more accidents will happen. His Majesty doesn't want these accidents to force him to change his mind. If the Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince hadn't joined forces and were so arrogant that they didn't take him seriously, His Majesty would definitely not care about this matter. And after such a commotion, it is estimated that someone would have already tipped off. Now it's a bet on whether that person will come faster or Lord Ye's people will come faster."
The fate of the prince depends on a single thought.
Chen Yuenian said nonchalantly, "You mean the Grand Tutor? I asked Chen Ying to intercept him. He is a veteran of three dynasties. I don't believe you if you say you have clean hands. This guy, when he gets old, likes to reminisce about the people and things in the past. I asked Chen Ying to use his paper figurines to help him recall. The fact that he was not frightened out of his mind shows that the Grand Tutor has a strong psychological quality."
He could not enter the Purple Palace today, and could only watch helplessly as all his efforts went up in smoke. Ambition is the key to success, but unfortunately, Grand Tutor Wang chose the wrong person. Even if he had chosen the Third Prince, his chances of winning would have been much greater. "
What Tai Shi Wang really wants is a puppet that he can control. He has been planning for so many years, has he never thought about sitting in that position himself? Is he willing to be a green leaf to set off the flowers?
Ambition is the best motivation for a person to move forward.
The reason for their failure was that the prince was overconfident and became conceited.
Master Wang cannot control the prince.
Chen Yuechu sighed. Today, his brother made him look at him in a new light. "When did you send people to block the Grand Tutor? You know, with the Grand Tutor present, the Crown Prince can at least keep his position, and it won't be a problem for him to make a comeback in the future. Are you really not giving the Grand Tutor any hope? Aren't you afraid that he will be so angry that he will vomit blood and die?"
Chen Yuenian snorted twice and leaned against the pillar. "He vomited blood because he couldn't bear it. What does it have to do with me? Since we have to fight this battle, we must fight beautifully and in front of His Majesty. Otherwise, can you show your loyalty with just a few words? Your brother's head is in danger."
The prince in the center was still kneeling upright. The chief eunuch symbolically tried to help him stand up, but the prince refused.
He knelt to show his last bit of dignity.
Chen Yuenian stared at his back and sighed quietly, "Grand Master has to admit that he is getting old, and the player in this game of chess should be replaced."
"Who says it's not true?" It is undeniable that Chen Yuechu admires Master Wang very much. He is shrewd, scheming, and wise. If he were a dozen or twenty years younger, it is hard to say who would rule the world.
After all this commotion, Chen Yuenian discovered that a key person was not present. "No, where is the Queen?"
Her son was in trouble, so she had to come out and say a few good words for him. The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so it was right for her to save her son.
Chen Yuechu raised his eyebrows, and said in a normal tone as if he was saying that the weather was really nice today: "Oh, I had someone trap the queen."
Chen Yuenian was shocked. After thinking about it for a long time, he never expected it to be like this: "You are amazing. You have even extended your hand to the harem."
Chen Yuechu crossed his arms, not thinking that he had done anything extraordinary. "I just asked Concubine Jing for a small favor. After all, I gave her father such a big gift, she had to give me something in return, otherwise it would be unreasonable. And I didn't wrongly accuse the prince. Whether it was rumors or something else, it was all the prince's own doing. You poked his bandit den, and I spread rumors about him. Besides the fact that what we did was not kind, that thing slandered him."
He threw dirty water on the prince in order to gain the support of Concubine Jing and her father Ye Hua'an, but unexpectedly the prince actually wanted to send the princess away to marry.
Emperor Liang had never thought of this. He loved his children very much. Each of them was his closest flesh and blood. How could he give them away for nothing?
Besides, with Chen Yuenian around, Liang State doesn’t need a princess to marry.
The prince had previously approached Yu Tianji and wanted him to help, and the person he pushed was the third princess.
The third princess's beauty was famous and even spread to other countries, which was something Emperor Liang was very proud of.
Look, look, his daughter is the most beautiful.
Who would have thought that Yu Tianji looked down on the prince at all, and the prince suffered a huge blow as soon as he took action.
Although Yu Tianji is a bitch, he still behaves like a decent human being in some aspects.
In fact, Chen Yuechu also heard a little rumor that Yu Tianji said at that time that if Chen Yuenian was given to him, he would consider it.
It’s better not to tell Chen Yuenian about this. He is afraid that Chen Yuenian will break down and give him a lesson.
Chen Yuechu looked at the prince. He was once so proud and triumphant, but now he looked so embarrassed and ridiculous: "Just wait and see, he can't cause any trouble."
About an incense stick of time passed before a guard came in from outside the hall and asked whether they should bring the person in.
Emperor Liang waved his hand.
The bandits had never seen such a big scene before. When they saw the emperor, they were so scared that their legs went limp. They knelt on the ground trembling and shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare our lives."
Especially Chen Yuenian, who stood aside with a ferocious look, like the King of Hell who came to take lives. That day, it was he who held a sword, killing people in and out, and the whole village was filled with blood.
The horrifying images always remain in their minds. Thinking about them during the day will cause nightmares at night.
When the prince saw those people, he knew that he would never be able to turn things around this time.
There was a lot of noise in the hall, the sound of sinners crying and begging for mercy, but he didn't hear a word they said.
Emperor Liang was so annoyed by their noise that he slammed his chair and shouted angrily: "Liang Linyan, what else do you have to say now?"
Every word uttered by Emperor Liang was like a thunderclap, exploding in the prince's ears and lasting for a long time. He lost the ability to think.
In the end, that was all that could be said.
"My son, plead guilty."

After leaving the Purple Palace, Ye Huaan led the Jinwu Guards to the East Palace and raided the prince's house.
As for the crown prince, he was deposed on the spot, turned into a commoner, and soon exiled to an extremely cold place.
As an accomplice, Wang Tai Tai Shi was investigated together. After the evidence was found, what awaited them was the confiscation of their property and exile.
I got on the carriage at the palace gate, and there were three regular knocks outside the carriage. It was Chen Ying.
Chen Ying came in with his paper figures and knelt on one knee in front of Chen Yuenian, "Chen Ying, I have fulfilled my mission. Master Wang has suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed in bed."
Chen Yuenian patted his head and said, "You did a great job."
A Grand Tutor Wang and a Crown Prince will only become people who are briefly mentioned in history books in the future.
And Nan Shu's dream of becoming a crown princess was also shattered.
