Chapter 438
There is no airtight wall in the world. The Zhou family sent people to Prince Rui's Mansion and were sold to the Zhao family. Then the most trusted nanny around the Zhao family was beaten and sent back. The news spread and many people knew about it. .
"What does King Rui want to do?"
"The Duke's Palace is the queen's natal family. The prince and princess are still young. Without the help of the Duke's Palace, life in the palace will be even more difficult."
"And Prince Rui, he doesn't have any foundation now, shouldn't he rely on the Duke's government?"
Everyone felt that after Xiao Che came back, he would gain a foothold with the help of the Duke's Mansion and join the camp of the Sixth Prince.
As a result, he paid no attention to either the Duke's Mansion or the Sixth Prince, and even had a conflict with the Sixth Prince in the court.
Princess Rui had been married for ten days, and she had several conflicts with the Duke's mansion. They were no longer a family, they were almost like enemies.
Is this King Rui crazy?
Everyone in the capital was speculating about the relationship between the Duke's Palace and Prince Rui. Is this for outsiders to see, or is the relationship truly incompatible.
Among various speculations, something even more outrageous happened.
The emperor has decided that Xiao Che will go to Lingnan in three days to lead troops to quell the chaos.As a result, he went to the court early to report to the Duke of Enguo, saying that Xiao Che was too embarrassed to be re-employed and was willing to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, giving this opportunity to the sixth prince.
When Duke En Guo made this proposal, the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. What kind of trick was this?
The people behind the Third, Seventh and Eighth Princes were all speculating whether the Zhou family did this on purpose.Let Xiao Che show weakness and accept this job first, and then say that he is not good enough and give the opportunity to the Sixth Prince.
"Your Majesty, I feel that since Prince Rui cannot be reused, it is better to let the Seventh Prince lead the army."
"Your Majesty, I think a wise king can take on this great responsibility."
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince..."
Originally, the matter had been settled, but the quarrel started again.
Xiao Che stood there expressionless, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Duke En Guo glanced at Xiao Che with a proud expression on his face.Mother was right, Xiao Che didn't know how to praise, so he had to teach him a lesson.
Do you really think this job is secure?
Without the support of the government, he is nothing!
After a quarrel, the courtiers looked at the emperor who was in a high position. In the end, the emperor had to make the final decision.
"Prince Rui, what did you say?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Che, and many people were disdainful, feeling that the Zhou family was really inferior to every generation.The Zhou family is the big family, the Zhao family needs the help of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family should take the lead in everything.
Now it's the other way around, fawning over the sixth prince, even though the queen obviously has a son.
Although the twelfth prince is young, he is still in his prime now. It will take at least seven or eight years before he gives up the throne. By that time, the twelfth prince will have grown up.
Wouldn't it be better to assist the twelfth prince to become the crown prince?
Among the fourteen princes, only twelve princes are legitimate sons.
Since ancient times, when a prince is established, his legitimate son must be given priority.
The Zhou family ignored the twelve princes and gave all the benefits to the sixth prince, which was disdainful.
In full view of everyone, Xiao Che took a step forward and said, "Father, the Sixth Emperor's brother is trying to win over the courtiers. The benefactor has deceived the king and turned his back on me. I think he should be severely punished."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Everyone knew that the emperor was asking about the Lingnan matter, but Xiao Che asked the emperor to punish the sixth prince and Duke En, which was really unexpected.
After many people reacted, they began to gloat.
They said, how could anyone be willing to give up this good job?If it weren't for the fierce competition, no one would be able to win this job.In addition, Xiao Che did not have any foundation in the court, and it would not have much impact if he went there. How could he be allowed to do this?
Duke Enguo said that it was really inexplicable that Xiao Che took the initiative to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his honour.
No, it was exposed.
Duke Ben Guo, who was originally looking proud, turned gloomy. How dare Xiao Che!
Does he know how much trouble it will bring to the Zhou family once he is convicted?
What good will it do to him if the Zhou family is punished?Doesn't he need help from the Duke's government in the future?
The reason why he dared to say this in the court was that Xiao Che did not dare to expose it, and even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only swallow it.After all, the Zhou family is his backer, and he will suffer both prosperity and loss.
Without the Duke's Mansion, how could an ordinary prince gain a foothold?
In the end, Xiao Che was really brave.
Not only did he expose it, but he also dragged the Sixth Prince into the water. He was desperate for life and death.
If it weren't for the wrong location, Duke En would have wanted to yell at Xiao Che.
Xiao Che didn't even look at Duke Enguo during the whole process, if it weren't for the deep foundation left by the Zhou family's ancestors and the management of these generations.After my grandfather passed away, the Zhou family was already finished.
Since I have no ability, I can still keep the Duke's palace with a little self-awareness.
But they kept trying to commit suicide, and no amount of help from the Queen Mother would help.
If they can't keep the left and right, it's better to let them recognize the reality early, so as not to end up in the situation of killing everyone.
"Father, I don't know about this matter. Someone must be trying to blame it on me. I hope my father will find out." The sixth prince immediately stood up and cursed the Zhou family in his heart for being stupid and not following this matter. He discussed making the decision without authorization.
He also scolded Xiao Che for being ignorant and too greedy.
The Sixth Prince was filled with hatred, but he wanted to get this matter over with now.
It is a serious crime to win over courtiers to form a party for personal gain. Although everyone does it behind the scenes, once it is revealed and brought before the emperor, it will not be so easy to get away with it.
"Your Majesty, Duke En Guo obviously has the instructions of the Sixth Prince, and he must not be leniently spared."
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui obviously never said anything about giving up to the Sixth Prince. Mr. En Guo is deceiving the emperor."
"emperor……"
The court was once again in chaos. The third, seventh and eighth princes were worried that they could not find a chance to suppress the sixth prince. How could they miss this opportunity?
All civil and military officials in the court were discussing the matter of the Sixth Prince and Duke Enguo, but no one mentioned the matter of Lingnan anymore.Everyone has already acquiesced in their hearts that it would be best to let Xiao Che go.
Xiao Che is just a stupid young man. He even tries to trick his maternal grandfather's family. He has no brains and cannot become a great person.
In the end, Xiao Che still set off for Lingnan to quell the chaos three days later, and the sixth prince was sentenced to seven days of confinement for self-reflection.Duke Enguo was more serious and was demoted.
Duke Enguo was now demoted from the second-rank official position to the third-rank official position, two levels in a row.
When the Queen learned about what the Duke's Mansion had done, her face turned pale with anger. She knew that her family had become more and more confused since her father's death, and she never expected that they would become so confused.
"My dear, don't be angry. This matter has been resolved. Don't let your anger break your body."
The queen took a deep breath and frowned, "How can I not be angry? When they brought this news to them two days ago, I already responded to them with righteous words.
How dare they directly make the decision for Che'er. "
