Chen Youde died, and King Duan was completely convinced.
Lu Pingwan only got this information later. He was listening to Changshou Baisui talk about things in his study, but he didn't dare to let Lu Pingwan know. Everything in Prince Duan's Mansion was quiet today. It was said that even the servants who went out to buy things had changed their faces.
Lu Minran had a hunch that King Duan would not be able to escape this time. The person who planned this incident was too aggressive, and the purpose seemed to be to cause King Duan to get into trouble and make him unable to look back.
In fact, only Lu Mozhen knew that it was not accidental that the unfavorable things Lu Feng had done were spread out, nor was it leaked by any of his ministers. When the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, some guards discovered that one of Chen Youde's cousins had a sob-letter hidden inside. The blood letter, every word in the letter, clearly described how Prince Duan defiled his wife, and it seemed that the cousin's family was fully aware of it.
The emperor is really angry. This minister is so rebellious. Not only will he not let Prince Duan go, he will also refuse to let him go! What did he want to do with this death? He wanted to force him to execute King Duan!
The last sentence in the letter was clearly written for him, and for everyone in the world to see. If he didn't follow his death wish and cut off the title of King Duan and deny the chance of King Duan's lineage to take the throne, he would He is not willing to die. Even before the emperor decided whether to deal with Prince Duan, he gave him a sudden appearance without even a chance to prepare.
The only thing that could make the emperor feel happy was that Chen Youde died like this! What a good death! The emperor had long since lost sympathy for Chen Youde who offended the majesty of the Tian family. However, it was now difficult to stop everyone from talking, so the emperor had to summon several important ministers to discuss the matter.
"What does Mr. Bai think?" The emperor, who expressed his worries, asked his teacher when he was young.
Duke Bai Laoguo thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to deal with it in accordance with the law. First, for the sake of the prestige of the heavenly family, and secondly, for the sake of the ministers of this dynasty. The people of the world are watching, so I have no choice but to deal with the prince."
Several ministers who came with him were surprised. Did Mr. Bai Laoguo not even care about his own grandson? He actually suggested so much to the emperor. If King Duan is deposed, it will affect the crown prince. They were surprised in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces. They all looked calm when the emperor looked at them.
"What do you think, Aiqing?"
This is listening to their opinions. Someone said: "What the old man said makes sense. It is better for the emperor to kill his relatives for justice, but he can take the opportunity to restore the prestige of the heavenly family and let everyone in the world see the emperor's sincere gentleman's heart."
"I second the proposal."
"I also second my opinion."
The emperor's face was as dark as a mountain, and it took him a long while before he ordered: "Here, please use my words to remove King Duan from his title..."
After leaving the meeting hall, several ministers walked behind Mr. Bai Laoguo. Prime Minister Zhao Qiaoji said with emotion: "The Duke is so courageous, but it seems that we are narrow-minded." He meant something, but there was a look of admiration on his face.
It was not clear what his expression was on the wrinkled face of Mr. Bai. His tone was calm and he was not angry. He replied: "The prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty. What's more, the prince did this. The prime minister is dedicated to his country." Come to think of it, how can you be so narrow-minded?"
Zhao Qiaoji choked on his words. This old man had never won a verbal battle with him. If he replied to him, if he said yes, he would admit that he was narrow-minded, and if he said no, he would have second thoughts about his clan. Which one? None of the words were right. Simply shut up, smile gently and take the first step.
Mr. Bai Laoguo came back from the palace and went directly to his study. When he returned, he saw his grandson who had been waiting for him for a long time. He looked out the window with a deep expression on the white walls and green tiles. He didn't even notice that he had come in. He was distracted. Duke Bai suddenly thought of Zhao Qiaoji's words again. He thought, it's not that he has the courage, but if he doesn't let the emperor deal with King Duan, then if his grandson inherits the throne, who knows what will happen in the future. How much infamy should I receive, and what good reputation should my grandson's descendants have?
It's a pity that too many people only see glory and wealth, but they don't know that if you look away from the clouds, you will find that behind the glory and wealth is a pile of bones.
Lu Mozhen is off from school today, and he cannot return to the palace. Ever since the news about King Duan's misbehavior was leaked last night, and until Chen Youde's death, Lu Feng was like a madman, and he would get angry whenever he saw someone he didn't like. Take action. Even the concubine Xu was slapped in the face, not to mention the other evasive concubines and concubines.
The prince didn't want to go back, so he came to sit with his grandfather in the Duke's mansion.
Mr. Bai Laoguo ordered his servants to make a pot of tea, and then asked Lu Mozhen to sit down. Both his ancestors and his grandson were indifferent people, especially at this time, they could not say anything to comfort them. Duke Bai Laoguo told Lu Mozhen what he said today in the meeting hall, and finally asked: "Do you blame me for losing your glory and wealth?"
Lu Mozhen was actually happy when she heard that Lu Feng was going to be cut off and the plaques in the entire palace were to be removed. His expression was indifferent and his words were very ruthless. "Don't complain, I don't want Prince Duan's Mansion a long time ago." Since he was a child, he was not welcomed by his biological parents. Later, when he became wise, he had his biological father's concubine, and the concubine and concubine added to the trouble. Lu Mozhen really treated Lu Feng and the entire Prince Duan's Mansion. There is no emotion at all.
At the palace banquet that day, he looked desolate because Lu Feng was really not a good father. He could be shameless, but he forgot that his child was still there. If Lu Mozhen hadn't been cold-hearted, gloomy and surly, he might have lost his composure in the face of so many strange eyes.
No one wants to be embarrassed, especially if it comes from the person you least like. You are just a poor person who has been affected.
It's also because, even if Lu Feng can't be a good father, he doesn't even intend to give Lu Mo Zhen a small amount of face, as if he should be treated like this when he was born. How unfair this is.
Later, after knowing that Lu Mozhen really had no feelings for Prince Duan's palace, Duke Bai said to him: "Although the emperor has reduced the title, he did not say that the fiefdom previously awarded to Prince Duan will be returned. Even if your father If you are no longer a prince, you can still live a prosperous life. But your outlet will inevitably be limited."
Lu Mozhen is still young and cannot be ruined just because of Lu Feng. Mr. Bai also does not want to see the only bloodline left by his daughter to be such a pity. Of course Lu Mozhen understands it himself. He is getting smarter and thinks better.
He also thought about the distant future more and more than anyone else. He himself was not willing to live in the shadow brought by Lu Feng.
"So, A-Zhen, you can no longer serve as an official."
To be an official, to be an official, is to have power in both the government and the public. Lu Mozhen can no longer take this path in the future. The shadow that Lu Feng cast on Prince Duan's Mansion is very powerful. In other words, the influence of Chen Youde's blood letter of dying to express his will is very powerful. There are so many scholars and people in the world, so many people are talking about it. If it can't be blocked, the emperor has no perfect solution.
That same day, the emperor's decree came down.
How many people had their eyes fixed on the situation in Prince Duan's Mansion. When the servants from different palaces secretly investigated the situation in the Prince's Mansion, they saw that the chief eunuch who came from the palace did not leave with a smile on his face, so they rushed back to their own mansion. I went to reply to the message from my master.
King Duan fell.
After the people in the palace left, he sat slumped on the chair. There were thick dark circles under his eyes, the corners of his eyes were tired, and the bloodshot eyes were red. He opened his eyes silently, unable to breathe, already resigned to the fate he was about to receive. Without the title, he is no longer a prince.
There are many people who are more broken down than him, and all the concubines are messing around. The most enthusiastic one was Concubine Xu. She lay on Lu Feng's lap and cried sadly, "How could this happen? Your lord, how could it be like this? What should we do in the future? My Qing'er, my beautiful life." It’s still long, they can’t live like this.”
Mrs. Xu was also completely panicked. After the death of the princess, she was still full of enthusiasm for Lu Feng so that she could be accepted by him and promoted to the step princess. Little did she know that things had changed so quickly. She was still thinking about it the day before yesterday. How to plan for her children how to live a better life, how to get rid of her son, and today she has become a person who does not even have the throne.
This huge gap made her become a little frustrated and crazy, and she never thought carefully about what she said. Lu Feng, who was already gloomy and speechless while sitting on the chair, was stimulated by her words and his eyes became even more blood-red. He endured it and did not attack Mrs. Xu. However, Mrs. Xu was looking for death and couldn't wait to find a way out from Lu Feng: "Your Majesty, go to the palace to plead for mercy. Go to the Queen Mother! You can go to anyone to find the Queen Mother. , as long as you can keep your identity as a prince...!"
That "Prince" reminded Lu Feng that he was no longer a clan member and could no longer be fawned over by aristocratic families. He was afraid that he would need to rely on others in the future, and he couldn't accept it! Angry, he suddenly stood up holding Xu's neck. His tall body seemed a bit scary to others, and his expression was so furious that people dared not approach him. He said word by word: "If you mention the word 'Prince' again, I will kill you!"
Xu was pinched by the neck and her toes were off the ground. She had always been a delicate woman, but now she was treated like this by a tall man. Not only was her long-term relationship with Lu Feng damaged, but it also made her feel palpitations and panic. She kept shaking her head and nodding, and she almost couldn't figure out what it meant. If Lu Feng didn't let go, she would be strangled.
"Master, husband, husband... let it go, let me go..." Ms. Xu said, almost suffocating.
Lu Feng looked at her coldly, feeling that this woman had never looked so hateful before, and he no longer had the same pity for her as before. As soon as her hand loosened slightly, Mrs. Xu fell to the ground. She lay on the ground panting in fear. She shrank and did not dare to move. When the hall was quiet enough to drop a pin, she raised her eyes slightly and only had time to see Lu Feng leaving. corner of clothes.
Unexpectedly, her sweet dream would last her whole life, and she would wake up in such a short time. She thought about the prince who was strangling her neck and staring at her like a ghost with a pair of red eyes. The love in the past was no longer there. She suddenly felt heartbroken and couldn't help herself. She covered her face in pain. .
The palace seemed to be in chaos, and the only one who was not in chaos was Lu Mozhen, who was doing his own thing. He went to the academy as usual, and even though the people who looked at him looked at him with sarcasm and ridicule, he never missed a single subject.
Different from him are the two brothers, Lu Heqing and Lu Yanran. They are even more unable to accept than the Xu family that they will transform from the children of a prince into the children of ordinary people without any identity! All glory and wealth will be far away from them.
Just when Lu Mozhen returned home from the academy, Lu Heqing rushed to his yard and asked him: "What on earth is going on? Weren't you with your father at the palace banquet? Why did you let others falsely accuse him?!"
Lu Mozhen didn't even look at him and told Changsheng Baisui to throw him out.
Lu Heqing and his servants resisted: "Lu Mozhen, why don't you want to speak? Your father has become like this. Shouldn't you feel guilty and blame yourself?"
These words were so funny. He seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and he actually wanted to pin all the faults on Lu Mozhen. Changsheng Baisui, who was blocking him, frowned and used more strength in his hands. Lu Heqing screamed out in pain.
Lu Mozhen suddenly stopped. He walked in front of Lu Heqing and stared at him with thick black eyes. After looking at each other for a long time, Lu Heqing was even more afraid of him. "Why don't you ask him yourself whether what happened at the palace banquet is true?" This man was naturally Lu Feng.
Lu Heqing looked at him angrily: "..." If he had asked, he would have gone already, but when he knew that even his mother was treated like that by his father, he naturally backed down.
Of course Lu Mozhen understood what he was thinking, and she slightly raised her lips. The contempt and sarcasm on her face made Lu Heqing even more angry, but he said: "Of course it is true. Now, you no longer have to compete with me for the position of heir apparent."
The prince is no longer there, so where is the heir apparent?
Lu Mozhen turned around and left. When Changsheng Baisui saw that Lu Heqing was no longer struggling, he let go of him, but still stood in front of him to prevent him from rushing over and harming Lu Mozhen.
However, Lu Heqing just stood there in a daze. His eyes were hurt by the sarcasm on Lu Mozhen's face, and he just stared ahead in a daze. He couldn't understand why Lu Mozhen couldn't become the heir, but he wasn't afraid at all?
