Chapter 66: Impeachment of the Crown Prince!
"Eunuch Chen's words are quite vague. It is said that the Imperial Household Department is very mysterious, but I don't know what is hidden in it ."
Chen Ju shook his head and said, "This Silijian is nothing special, it just knows more about the affairs of the palace."
"Because the Silijian is a news processing center, whether it is a national event or some trivial matters, it has to pass through here, so it seems a bit mysterious."
"It's nothing special in fact!"
Xiao Yan is now becoming more and more interested in this palm print.
Because he is too low-key, a little too low-key.
Normally, even the eunuchs around the empress and concubines were quite arrogant and domineering, let alone an extraordinary eunuch like Chen Ju.
But things turned out to be so unexpected that Xiao Yan felt it was unreal.
It is really difficult to catch such a person. It is not a question of being smooth, but that one does not know where to start.
"I haven't had the chance to meet you since I became regent. Today, I have a new respect for you!"
"Eunuch Chen, you and I both know exactly what I mean. I know that there are some people you cannot afford to offend."
"But you have to understand that this world belongs to my royal family after all. I don't doubt your loyalty, but I think you are too cautious!"
Chen Ju shook his head slightly and said, "Since Your Highness understands everything, then I will not hide it."
"This palace may seem peaceful, but it is actually turbulent. It is not as simple as you think!"
"Some things still require you to look and listen carefully. Everything will eventually leave traces."
Xiao Yan felt something was wrong at this time, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
What exactly is different about this palace? Why didn’t I notice it?
However, he knew that if he asked Chen Ju, he might not tell him anything, so he still had to pay more attention to the affairs of the palace.
After all, Chen Ju had given a reminder that if something really happened out of the palace, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
"Okay, thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Chen. However, I still have something to say to you, Eunuch Chen."
"Some people want to break the rules . If you let them do it, it's your fault. I may not pursue it, but you must be clear in your mind!"
After saying this, Xiao Yan left the Imperial Household Department directly. He knew there was no .
The last sentence was reminding him of Xiao Ding's reading of the memorials.
Xiao Yan didn't believe that Chen Ju didn't know about this. After all, it happened right under his nose.
Chen Ju only started laughing after Xiao Yan left.
"Your Highness, you still don't understand His Majesty's intentions. Please savor it carefully!"
The emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hu requests to see you!"
The old emperor's health has improved a little after these days of recuperation. At least now he can read for a long time.
Hu Shanxiang was still serving on the side.
Upon hearing this, the old emperor looked at Hu Shanxiang, who also looked confused.
"Shall I take my leave first?"
In order to avoid suspicion, Hu Shanxiang felt that it was inappropriate for her to be here, and of course she was also intentionally avoiding Hu Zhenghe.
After all, after he reached an agreement with Xiao Yan, he felt that everything Hu Zhenghe did was against him.
"No need, let him in!"
The young eunuch looked worried when he heard this, because there was not only Hu Zhenghe outside the door.
"Your Majesty, there are actually many officials outside the gate, not just Lord Hu!"
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this. Why did so many people come? Could it be that the prince had done something again?
"Just let Hu Zhenghe come in by himself, and the rest of you wait outside the door!"
The young eunuch then hurried down to pass on the message.
"This old minister pays homage to His Majesty and His Majesty!"
The old emperor straightened himself up to make himself look more energetic.
"My dear, please get up. I wonder what you have to do today and why you have time to come here!"
Hu Zhenghe stood up and bowed, saying, "I haven't had time to visit your Majesty since he woke up. I have some free time today, so I came to visit your Majesty!"
"Is your majesty feeling better?"
The old emperor shook his head and said, "Not so good. This disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread!"
"It's not that easy!"
Hu Zhenghe felt relieved when he heard this. As long as you are not good, I will have a chance!
"Then your Majesty should rest and recuperate. I am still waiting for your return to the court as soon as possible!"
The old emperor naturally realized that this was not a greeting to him, but something he wanted to say.
"Sir Hu, I have worked with you for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenghe immediately told the purpose of his visit.
"Your Majesty, I came here today to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this. They found him so quickly. It seemed that he had suffered a lot of setbacks recently.
"Oh? Then tell me why you impeached the prince!"
"As far as I know, the prince has been doing well recently!"
Hu Zhenghe knew that he could not offend the emperor, so he said: "Your Majesty, the prince has done a good job in government affairs, but he is too arbitrary and dictatorial. I have no right to speak."
"There is a lot of complaints from the court, and officials have no motivation to do their work ."
"This makes it seem like we are useless. If this is the case, it would be better for us to retire and return home!"
The old emperor pretended to be ignorant: "Is there such a thing?"
"Didn't I ask you to assist the Crown Prince? Why? The Crown Prince doesn't listen to your advice?"
Hu Zhenghe heard this and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the prince does not take us seriously at all, and he makes all the decisions on his own!"
"You are not even allowed to raise any opinions. If you object, you will be kicked out of the court!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"
The old emperor knew very well what these guys wanted to do, but he himself didn't know why Xiao Yan didn't use them?
It's simply that he was seriously ill before and he, Hu Zhenghe, was the only one who had the final say. Now the contrast is too great and he feels unbalanced!
"Then, what do you mean, my dear?"
Hu Zhenghe said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have worked with Your Highness for some time, and I think the Crown Prince is not suitable for regent. Please withdraw your order."
"The Second Prince is very intelligent and has received a lot of advice from me. I think we should let him govern the country!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince still needs to learn a lot, otherwise, as the crown prince of a country, he will only know how to act arbitrarily and will not be able to shoulder important responsibilities in the future!"
After all, he still wanted to take away Xiao Yan's power as regent.
Before the old emperor could speak, Hu Shanxiang said, "Your Majesty, you must not do that. The prince has been acting somewhat arbitrarily lately, but he has indeed handled things very well."
"I think Ding'er is still young. Even if he gets guidance from the Prime Minister, he may not be able to do as well as his brother!"
"So I think it's better for the Crown Prince to be the regent. I know my child well!"
