Eunuch Mu Ru's eyes were slightly painful. He had been with the emperor for so long, and he knew best the pain the emperor had suffered.

Just as the emperor said, he has been unkind even to himself. Over the years, his food and drink expenses have been worse than any other master in the palace. This is why he always eats alone, because the meals are really simple.

For the sake of important affairs in the country, he often had to hold back his own emotions and emotions. The burden on the emperor's shoulders was too heavy.

The wind blew down a piece of rice paper on the imperial desk. Emperor Ming Yuan wanted to write something, but after holding up the pen for a long time, he could not write a single word.

In Qingyu Palace, Emperor Ming Yuan had already changed people, so even if Concubine Xian was convicted and died, not many people knew about it. Empress Chu and Concubine Huang knew it in their hearts, but no one dared to reveal it.

Emperor Ming Yuan kept his mourning secret and only announced that the concubine Xian was still seriously ill and her condition had not improved.

On the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar month, during the early morning court, before the announcement was made, someone actually took the lead and accused the prince's biological mother of committing the crime of great disrespect and unfilial piety.

The one who took the lead was none other than King Ji, who had been keeping his peace for a while.

King Ji spoke eloquently, quoted scriptures, and even talked about the chaos among relatives in the harem. He strongly advocated that the prince's biological mother must be of good character, so as to prevent the corrupt elements in the bloodline from affecting the future heirs of the royal family.

In the end, he even said calmly: "For the sake of the Northern Tang Dynasty, I also ask my father to depose the crown prince Yu Wenhao and replace him with talents, so as to protect the bloodline of the Northern Tang royal family from being stained in the future, and Yu Wenhao

During my tenure in the Jingzhao Mansion, I accumulated many unsolved injustice cases, which shows that my ability is not enough to handle the important task. I ask my father to think again."

King Ji's proposal was approved by many ministers in the court, but his words failed to make people agree. First of all, the lineage theory is a bit ridiculous, because the concubine Xian is from the Su family, but the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother, is also from the Su family.

, the Su family is not just a treacherous and evil person.

Furthermore, the prince's political achievements are highly recognized. Not all of the unjust cases accumulated in the Jingzhao Mansion occurred during the prince's tenure. Many of them are old cases accumulated in the past that have not been solved. It has been a long time. It is easier said than done to find out.

However, King Ji also had followers. He had already united with several ministers to submit a memorial. Therefore, after he finished speaking, people came out one after another to petition to depose the prince.

Emperor Ming Yuan was not in a hurry to speak. He only saw how many people supported the deposed prince.

After some statistics, more than 30% of the people supported it.

These are not necessarily from King Ji's party, most of the people who agree are veterans. Although they agree from the perspective of the imperial court, their ideas are ignorant and they do not follow the past.

Some of these people were originally not in favor of appointing Yu Wenhao as the crown prince. They were the stubborn eldest son or legitimate son of the emperor.

Except for these people, the rest did not express much opinions.

It can be seen that the prince is popular, otherwise there would be a lot of opposition to him in the court today.

This made Emperor Ming Yuan feel very relieved, and he was sure that he had not chosen the wrong person.

When he chose Yu Wenhao, he was actually not completely sure in his heart. It was just the Emperor's will, and he habitually followed the Emperor's wishes.

The prince who held the ceremony came out of the procession, holding a jade certificate and a treasure book in his hand. He glanced around and said: "On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the Dingyou year, that is, last night, the emperor promoted Concubine De as the imperial concubine in the Hede Hall, and the prince

Yu Wenhao and Princess Yu Wenling have been recorded in the name of Concubine De, and they recognize Concubine De as their mother. Therefore, anything done by Concubine Xian has nothing to do with the prince and princess. If you want to impeach the prince and depose him, please ask His Highness Prince Ji.

I will show you the evidence that the prince is rebellious, immoral and unworthy of his position, otherwise, this proposal will be abandoned."

There was an uproar in the court.

Even De Concubine's father and brother were shocked. De Concubine entered the palace. Although she had the favor of a saint, she had no children. Therefore, being named De Concubine was already a supreme kindness. If she did this in this life, it would be considered a great thing.
