Listening to these accusations against him, the prince looked at Cai Tingzhou, hoping that Cai Tingzhou could say a few words for him.
After all, Prime Minister Cai’s two daughters are now in his Prince’s Mansion.
Unexpectedly, after pondering the pros and cons several times in his mind, Cai Tingzhou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have two daughters, both of whom are with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At this critical juncture, I should avoid suspicion and remain silent."
"But after hearing what my colleagues have said, I have to say that the Crown Prince is guilty of a serious crime."
The prince gritted his teeth and quickly mouthed that if he couldn't survive, the two girls from the Cai family would die with him.
Cai Tingzhou was startled and quickly changed the subject: "But His Highness is, after all, the Crown Prince of a country. Please consider that he was carefully selected by you and the royal family and give him a chance to reform."
Yan Cheng laughed and said, "Prime Minister Cai actually sent both of his daughters to the Crown Prince."
"Tsk tsk tsk, so Prime Minister Cai really wants to be the emperor's father-in-law, even though he knows the Crown Prince's character..."
Dissolute and lustful.
"Prime Minister Cai also gave away two daughters. The first one became a concubine, and the second one became a concubine. I don't know if she has any status."
As he spoke, he sighed deeply, then said seriously, "Your Majesty, I think Long Yaodong is not qualified to be the crown prince."
The prince's biological father stepped out and said, "Duke Yan, as a duke, you should be reasonable. The two people who just started the trouble are your son-in-law and your son. Naturally, you don't want the prince to continue to be the crown prince."
Yan Cheng smiled: "Oh, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
"One is my son-in-law, Yan Cheng, and the other is my son, Yan Cheng. One is the new top scholar in Dajing, and the other is the new runner-up in Dajing. I, Yan Cheng, am very proud of this."
The prince's biological father snorted and laughed: "You finally admitted it?"
Yan Cheng retorted: "Bah!"
"Ask yourself, if Long Yaodong can't become the crown prince and becomes your son again, will you be proud? If you are not proud, then you still say this to me. What kind of perverse logic is this?"
"Besides, don't those present know what kind of character Long Yaodong is?"
"I, Yan Cheng, do not support him continuing to be the crown prince. Is it because of me?"
"The Yan family has been loyal for generations, loyal to the orthodox Long family. They are dedicated to the country and the people."
"And you, Long Feng, simply want to be the crown prince's father. You are selfish and only care about yourself."
"Good!" Long Yi applauded and stood up.
"Everyone says that I, Long Yi, and the Yan family are incompatible, but now I want to say it to you: Long Yaodong is unfit for this important task. He should step down from the position of crown prince as soon as possible."
"be opposed to!"
The royal family members immediately objected.
The voices of opposition grew louder and louder.
This was something Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe had never expected.
They didn't expect their father to help speak up.
What they didn't expect was that their father was already in a high position of power, and that if he wanted to dethrone the prince, he would be unanimously opposed by the royal family.
The emperor looked at his brothers and said that today was the best opportunity to completely abandon the royal family.
Prince Cheng, noticing his brother's gaze, immediately rose and said, "I believe what Duke Yan and Prince Jin have said is absolutely correct. Long Yaodong has a flawed character and poor moral character. It is difficult for him to continue to serve as the Crown Prince of Dajing."
The princes: "I second the motion!"
The oldest elder of the royal family looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please say a few words."
The emperor slammed the case file on the table.
The vibration made the dishes jump.
It was obvious that he was very angry.
"What else do you want to say?" The emperor glared at him. "Long Yaodong has committed many serious crimes and is unfit to be the crown prince. Effective immediately, he is stripped of his position as crown prince."
"Your Majesty..." an elder shouted, "The Crown Prince must not be easily replaced, nor can he be easily deposed. Doing so will shake the foundation of the country."
"He's still the crown prince, and that's what's destabilizing the foundation of the nation," the emperor said gravely. "I'm the supreme ruler, so why shouldn't I depose a crown prince? Should I listen to what you clan members have to say?"
When these words were spoken, the emperor was extremely angry. Some members of the royal family wanted to say that it was because the emperor himself had no heirs.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't dare to say them.
They were afraid that the other princes they chose would also be stripped of their status as princes.
Seeing this, the Second Prince stepped out and bowed, "Father, your majesty is wise!"
The Third Prince followed suit and bowed as well: "Father, your Excellency, is wise!"
The other princes echoed.
In this case, the royal family had nothing to say.
Long Feng's face turned pale.
From this moment on, it seemed that their family was about to be abandoned by the royal family.
Long Yaodong was indignant at losing his position as crown prince. He hurried to Yan Xinghe.
He wanted to grab his collar and argue with him, but Yan Xinghe easily dodged him.
"Yan Xinghe, is this how you treat me?" Long Yaodong couldn't change his name for a moment. "Have you and Fu Ciyi been colluding for a long time?"
"Your words are so harsh." Yan Xinghe shook his head, "Now I can no longer call you Your Highness the Crown Prince, I can only call you Your Highness."
Long Yaodong gritted his teeth and said, "You've also been to Beauty Manor!"
He turned to the emperor and said, "Father, Yan Xinghe also went to Meiren Zhuangzi. He is also guilty!"
"I have torn up the list."
The emperor said this indifferently.
Yan Xinghe bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I did go there to investigate, as I have just said. I swear, I have no relationship with Zhuangzi's women. I have never laid a finger on them."
Long Yaodong reacted: "So you approached me on purpose just to find something to hold against me?"
Yan Xinghe smiled.
"Your Highness thinks that Master Fu and I are incompatible, but in fact, I share the same political views as him. Looking at him, I feel like I am looking in a mirror."
"May I ask, Your Highness, if this is the case, will I be at odds with myself in the mirror?"
"Having said this, I am not afraid that His Highness will know, nor am I afraid of what His Highness will do to me and Master Fu in the future."
Yan Xinghe's voice deepened, becoming increasingly cold. "Long Yaodong, to tell you the truth, Master Fu and I originally wanted to keep you on the throne of Crown Prince for a few more days, but you've touched our weak spot."
Fu Ciyi rushed over instantly and punched Long Yaodong on the cheek.
Long Yaodong was caught off guard and fell to one side.
Yan Xinghe also swung his fist and hit Long Yaodong on the other cheek.
The two punches caused his body to shift and spin in a circle.
My head was buzzing.
After all, this was happening in the main hall, in front of the entire royal family and all the civil and military officials. The emperor raised his hand and sighed, "Besides the reason just now, is there any other reason for beating someone like this?"
It really doesn't give him face as the emperor.
Although the crown prince was deposed, he was still his son in name.
Fu Ciyi then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just now when Your Majesty and I were playing chess, my wife was cutting fruit in the small kitchen when Long Yaodong insulted her and tried to take possession of her."
Long Yi and Yan Cheng said in unison: "Is this really true?"
"Yes!" Yan Funing stepped out. "Just now, he was still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said that if I followed him, he would make me the Crown Princess. I was cutting fruit, and I used a knife to protect myself, so I stayed safe. But it's true that he has a filthy mind and has killed countless people. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
Long Feng rolled his eyes.
His son was beyond saving.
