Hongyuan Emperor said in a deep voice, "Pass down the decree. The First Prince is corrupt and has caused serious damage to the military horse farm. I want to remove his royal status and demote him to a commoner. At the same time, his name will be removed from the jade archive and all his property will be confiscated, including the First Prince's mansion! From now on, I will pretend that I don't have this son! "
When the ministers heard this, they all sighed.
They didn't expect that the First Prince would be demoted to a commoner.
However, he had done all kinds of bad things, so he deserved it. No one sympathized with him!
Chu Tianyu looked at Hongyuan Emperor in disbelief. His heart instantly became cold. "Father, you want to demote me to a commoner?"
"I don't have an evil son like you. If I let you stay in the royal family, I'm afraid you will become worse. From now on, you are no longer a member of the royal family. You have nothing to do with me. Come, expel this commoner from the palace. Without my decree, he can never enter the palace again! "Hongyuan Emperor said angrily.
Demoting him to a commoner was a light punishment for destroying the foundation of the country.
If it weren't for the face of the empress, he would directly sentence this unfilial son to death.
Chu Tianyu's face was full of fear. He couldn't believe that he had fallen from a high status prince to a commoner in an instant.
He said in panic, "Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down! I don't dare, I don't dare anymore! "
Seeing Chu Tianyu shouting, Hongyuan Emperor said in disgust, "How can you make noise in the court? If you shout again, you will be sentenced to death! "
He really hated this son more and more!
This time, Chu Tianyu quickly closed his mouth and didn't dare to shout again.
He stared at Hongyuan Emperor in horror and found that the emperor was very ruthless at this moment.
Thinking that he was about to lose all his glory and honor, he was so scared that his legs became weak and his back became cold. His teeth chattered.
Soon, Chu Tianyu was taken away. The court was very quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
At this time, Hongyuan Emperor looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "The Emperor of Li, now a large number of horses in the military horse farm are sick. What do you think we should do to turn the tide?"
Chu Xuanchen said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to continue treating the sick warhorses. Secondly, we need to burn the inferior fodder and harness, and then we need to end our cooperation with the Gao Family Ranch. Not only that, but we also need to severely punish these profiteers who sell shoddy goods as good ones. Then, we will sign a new contract with the Zhu's Ranch and other good merchants to restore the order of the military stables. "
Hongyuan Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, The Emperor of Li, I will leave the matter of dealing with the profiteers to you. These profiteers actually dared to pass off shoddy goods as good ones. You must punish them severely. I want to make an example out of him to see who still dares to have designs on the military stables. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chu Xuanchen said.
Hongyuan Emperor continued, "The Emperor of Li, in your opinion, who is the most suitable person to manage the horse ranch?"
Chu Xuanchen muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, when Chang Daren was in charge of the military stables, he never made any mistakes, he was cautious and conscientious. Chang Yu has experience in managing the military stables. I think that we should transfer him back to the military stables and let him continue to manage them. Only then can we ensure the safety of the war horses. "
Hongyuan Emperor's expression sank.
He knew that Chang Yu was Chu Xuanchen's person. If Chang Yu continued to manage the military stables, then the military stables would be in Chu Xuanchen's pocket.
But if he didn't use Chang Yu, he was afraid that the military stables would suffer even greater losses.
At that time, if something happened to the military stables, the country would be in imminent danger.
So even if he didn't want to use Chang Yu, he had no choice.
He could only nod, "Alright, then transfer Chang Yu back. Eunuch Xu, write an imperial decree to transfer Chang Yu back to the military stables. Give him full authority over the military stables and order him to immediately resolve this matter. "
"As Your Majesty commands," Eunuch Xu said.
Just like that, Hongyuan Emperor transferred Chang Yu back to the military stables. Chu Xuanchen once again took back the management rights of the military stables.
This matter was all thanks to Yuan Zhen. When the time came, he would definitely reward Yuan Zhen.
-
Ronghua Palace.
At this time, the Empress was holding a teacup, thinking about how to catch Xue Fei and Chu Xuanchen's weakness.
Just as she was thinking of a plan, Qing Ying walked in in a panic, "Niang niang, something happened to the eldest prince!"
"Something happened to Tianyu? Did he make a mistake again and get punished by his imperial father? "The Empress asked nervously.
Qing Ying shook her head nervously, "No, it's more serious than that. The eldest prince replaced the military stables with inferior fodder, causing a large number of warhorses to fall ill and die. The eldest prince also embezzled a lot of money from this. "
"Just now, the eldest prince was impeached by Dong Chang Feng and Chen Ping. When the emperor found out about this, he was very angry. The emperor removed the eldest prince's position on the spot, stripped his imperial status, demoted him to a commoner, and confiscated all of his property! "
"The emperor said that from now on, he would pretend that he didn't have this son!"
"What? The emperor actually demoted Tianyu to a commoner? "The Empress' hand went limp and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
Qing Ying nodded, "Yes, the emperor has already driven the eldest prince out of the palace and removed his name from the jade archive. From now on, the imperial family no longer has the eldest prince. "
The Empress gritted her teeth and angrily said, "The emperor is really ruthless. Didn't Tianyu just embezzle some money? Does he need to be so ruthless? Which prince doesn't embezzle money? Why did he treat my Tianyu like this? "
Qing Ying hesitated, "This servant heard Eunuch Xu say that the warhorses are related to the foundation of the country. This time, the eldest prince violated the foundation of the country, so the emperor was furious."
"However, Niang niang, you don't need to be too worried. There have always been examples of princes being demoted to commoner and later returned to the imperial family. Just now, the emperor was just angry. Maybe when he calms down, he will take back his order. "
"Moreover, His Majesty has always valued Imperial Concubine. If Imperial Concubine pleads for leniency on behalf of the First Prince, the First Prince will definitely be punished. If the eldest prince pleads with the eldest prince, the emperor might be soft-hearted and spare him! "
"Impossible! The emperor's words carry enormous weight. Normally, he won't take back what he says. Moreover, Tianyu touched the foundation of the country this time. The country is the emperor's country. The emperor values the country as much as his life. This time, even if I plead for mercy, it will be useless! "
After the empress finished speaking, she exasperatedly said, "Ai! Tianyu is really too much. Why did he suddenly have the idea to touch the military horse farm? If he wanted money, he could have asked me. I wouldn't have refused to give it to him. Why did he have to take such a risk? Truly angering me to death! "
At this point, the empress suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Qing Ying, after Tianyu was removed from his position, who is in charge of the military horse farm now?"
"Eunuch Xu said that The Emperor of Li suggested that His Majesty give the military horse farm to Chang Yu, so His Majesty transferred Chang Yu back and prepared to let him continue to manage it." Qing Ying said.
"What? Give it to Chang Yu again? "The empress said with gritted teeth," That means that the military horse farm is back in The Emperor of Li's hands? That means that The Emperor of Li is the biggest beneficiary of this matter? "
At this point, she suddenly realized, "I know! The Emperor of Li is very close to Dong Chang Feng and Chen Ping. These two people suddenly ran out to impeach Tianyu. The Emperor of Li must have incited them! "
Qing Ying also nodded, "Niang niang is right. These generals are all The Emperor of Li's people. This servant thinks that The Emperor of Li must have set a trap for the eldest prince to fall into, which is why the eldest prince fell for it! "
