187 187 Family Letter
◎Big news! It was quite sudden.◎
Regarding whether the prince would be deposed and when he would be deposed, Master Kang had also hinted at this before.
But neither Mo Yu nor Lin Ruhai took it too seriously.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Master Kang’s feelings for the prince had not completely disappeared.
Because he still had feelings, he was still hesitant.
Because he was still hesitant, that actually meant he still
had feelings. In that case, no matter how he behaved, he would not really do anything.
In addition to these superficial phenomena, there was another reason why Mo Yu was so determined - that was the historical facts provided to him by System 006.
Although he himself did not learn historical facts very well, he had the plug-in system System 006.
It said so, so it must be right.
Yes, even in this completely unrecognizable world, some things still operate according to certain rules.
For example, some basic historical facts about the Qing Dynasty here are still the same, and there is no change.
The prince will still be deposed, but not now, but in another three years.
This is very intriguing.
Perhaps the friendship between them as father and son has not been exhausted, so they need another three years to hurt each other.
After so many things like this happened, no one took the threat of "I will depose you if you don't improve" that Master Kang always kept on his lips seriously.
Even the prince himself thought so.
The reason why the story of "The Wolf is Coming" is a classic is that it represents the universal law of the world - after too many failures, it is difficult to gain people's trust.
You old man are crazy every day, saying that you want to depose the prince, depose the prince, but it turns out that it is all thunder and rain. It will soon be useless.
Even the prince is much calmer now and does not take his threat seriously.
I didn't expect that the old man is holding back a big move.
And he actually took such a casual way, which is also drunk.
Yes, Master Kang told Mo Yu directly in a letter that he had made up his mind to depose the prince after returning to Beijing.
No, what's wrong with you?
Mo Yu was a little confused for a moment, thinking that this might be another joke played by Master Kang. After all, the old man had become more naughty since he came in. Last time, he had lied to him that he wanted to marry his 19th Princess. This was nonsense.
The 19th Princess was still a baby in a cradle, how could he arrange a marriage now?
Could it be that he was going to do the child bride thing?
This was too much, wasn't it?
It was obviously a joke. It
must be a joke!
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was too absurd, so Mo Yu ignored the tacit understanding between Master Kang and Lin Ruhai when they smiled at each other, and when he told Lin Ruhai that Master Kang had written a letter to him as a joke, Lin Ruhai's expression of wanting to say something but stopping, half smiling.
At that time, he didn't know that what Master Kang said was actually true, and he really thought that the old man was just joking, how could he know...
In short, at that time, because Mo Yu firmly believed that Master Kang had such a "criminal record", he didn't take this matter seriously at first.
What a joke, the prince of a country, can you depose him at will?
Even when the prince was deposed for the first time in history, there was still a very high-sounding reason.
The trigger of the incident was that the eight-year-old Eighteenth Prince was accompanying the emperor on a tour and unfortunately fell ill due to unfamiliar climate and water. He then died due to illness.
Almost all the princes accompanying the emperor at that time were very sad. After all, the Eighteenth Prince was such a lovely child, and he was younger than all the princes present at that time. He had no conflicts of interest with any of them, so he was of course everyone's favorite. The
Eighteenth Prince suddenly died of illness. Who wouldn't be sad?
The Crown Prince was the only one who was very indifferent. According to rumors, he "didn't show any sadness at all." It can be said that he was really cold-blooded.
But in fact, this was the most normal thing for the Crown Prince.
After all, this prince was famous for his brutality, lust and cruelty. Every year, countless bodies of young girls were carried out of the prince's mansion, and of course there were also many male servants.
They were just slaves. In the eyes of this noble prince, they were not even human beings...
For this reason, people from the Historic Bureau, the Censorate, and even the Imperial Clan Court had reported and impeached him by real name, but no matter how complete the evidence was, it all came to nothing in the end.
Because at that time, Master Kang did not want to punish the prince.
Although the prince acted unruly and violently, Master Kang forgave him again and again.
Why did the old man break his defense this time? There was a reason for this - because the edict to depose the prince said it all.
The prince "sneaked into the emperor's body", which means he stayed up late at night and ran to Master Kang's tent to spy on him, with the intention of doing something bad - such as assassinating the emperor for no reason
and taking the throne himself. Even if the emperor is his own father
, it is useless. Otherwise, why did so many princes choose to rebel throughout history? It is because they will not live comfortably as long as the throne is not theirs.
The prince only "sneaked into the emperor's body" and did not take direct action. In fact, he was already thinking about the father-son relationship.
However, he did not know that his kindness would eventually become the "evidence" of his dethronement.
So, since he has embarked on this path, he might as well go to the end. He wants to kill his father and usurp the throne for a while, and then he is soft-hearted. This is a taboo in military strategy.
Sure enough, the prince's hesitation finally irritated Master Kang and he was deposed.
Even if he really wanted to rebel later and gathered a group of powerful ministers, it was too late.
Master Kang was already on guard against him, so he had absolutely no chance of winning - what a joke, the old man was a teenager who was able to kill a powerful figure like Oboi*, and the prince was just a spoiled child, even if he had some talent, he might not be able to escape the palm of Master Kang's hand.
It is said that "no one knows a son better than his father", and the prince was personally raised by Master Kang. It can be said that before the prince made any move, Master Kang had already guessed his possible subsequent actions, how could he play this game? It
was all over.
In the end, it was proved that the prince made one mistake after another. After being deposed for the first time, although Master Kang soon regretted it and restored Yinreng's position as the prince within a year, the gap was still created.
They can never go back.
There is only enemies, not the monarch, ministers, father and son.
The prince really wanted to rebel the second time. He found several ministers, even Master Kang's confidant, and people in key positions such as the commander of the imperial guards. It was obvious that he wanted to control Master Kang first and kill him when necessary to ensure his ascension to the throne.
Unfortunately, the devil is one foot high and the road is ten feet high. The prince's rebellion has not yet taken shape, and was even discovered by Master Kang when he was still in the stage of assembling the team.
Not only was he discovered, but he was even caught in the act, which was very embarrassing.
Of course, for Master Kang, he was more angry than embarrassed, but for Yinreng, he was more afraid than embarrassed.
In this way, Master Kang, who originally did not want to really depose the prince, still made a difficult decision.
He deposed the prince for the second time, and did not appoint a new one until his death.
So the fourth master did not seize the position of prince first before ascending to the throne to become emperor.
It was a will directly issued by Master Kang before his death, and it was not even conveyed by the most trusted regent, but by the new infantry commander Longkodo.
This is very strange.
Was it because there was simply no time to ask the cabinet scholars to enter the palace, or was it intentional, or was it because of some cat peeping? Anyway, this has never happened before.
The right and wrong of this matter has also been the subject of many arguments over the years by the official history academic community and the folk legends - of course, the result of the argument was that there was no result, and no one could convince anyone.
After all, there are too many doubts and strange things in this matter, and I am afraid that only Master Kang himself can answer what the reason is.
Considering the love-hate relationship between Master Kang and Crown Prince Yinreng mentioned above, Mo Yu felt very complicated when reading this letter from Master Kang.
This family letter is actually very simple, without even the usual clichés and nonsense about the weather and mood, just one sentence.
"I want to depose him."
This is really too simple, which makes people hard to believe.
No, it seems that the prince really went on this tour outside the Great Wall. Not only
the prince went, but also the eldest prince, the thirteenth prince, the fifteenth prince, the sixteenth prince, and the seventeenth prince all went.
What happened on the way that made Master Kang so angry that he even wanted to depose the prince?
This matter itself is a super big melon, which made Mo Yu jump up and down, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he really wanted to know the reason.
So, he asked directly.
The reply was also very simple, with only a "?".
Smart people don't need to say it so clearly when they talk, as long as the meaning is in place.
Sure enough, Master Kang understood it immediately after reading Mo Yu's reply. But he didn't reply, and directly replaced the answer with action.
But a few days later, the edict to depose the prince was sent back to the capital.
Along with the imperial edict, the eldest prince and the deposed prince also returned.
Looking at the eldest prince's smug look and the prince's mournful expression, Mo Yu said that this was truly a classic.
Master Kang was always very skilled at making spicy dishes, but this time he really went a little too far.
He knew that the eldest prince and the prince had never gotten along, but he still let the eldest prince "escort" the deposed prince back to the capital. It was really, really bad.
Apart from anything else, just looking at the eldest prince's face, the prince, oh, now he is the deposed prince, should be so disgusted that he can't sleep.
No wonder he looked much more haggard.
In this way, the eldest prince seemed even more smug.
It seems that Master Kang is serious this time, but what will the other brothers think of him doing this?
Mo Yu stood aside silently, ready to start watching.
