◎Admiration! Whose general is this?◎

Before Master Kang could reply, someone nearby said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty had already deposed the Crown Prince when he was in Rehe."

When everyone present heard this, they almost fainted on the spot, wondering who was saying this, why did he just tell the truth directly, isn't he really too bold?

Master Kang hasn't even spoken yet, this person dared to say this, isn't this presumptuous?

However, with the Empress Dowager, Master Kang and others present, no one really dared to look up.

However, Mo Yu was not among them.

First of all, he was young, hiding aside was not conspicuous at all, so of course he could do whatever he wanted.

Secondly, he didn't have any idea of ​​superiority or inferiority, and didn't think there was anything wrong with "just the face of the emperor" - aren't they all human? What's there to be afraid of? Just look if you want to.

So, Mo Yu couldn't help but take a curious look, and instantly felt that he could understand.

If it was her, then she really had the confidence to speak casually.

Master Kang was also very angry, but when he saw clearly who was speaking, he had nothing to say.

Because this was Su Malagu, who had a high status in the harem, he couldn't afford to offend her. She was a relative left by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and he couldn't afford to offend her.

So, he could only kneel down and admit his mistake.

"Madam, please calm down. Please listen to your son's detailed explanation."

It stands to reason that Master Kang was so submissive, and the Empress Dowager should not be angry.

As a result, the Empress Dowager seemed to be even more angry when she saw him like this.

She said with shaking hands: "Then tell me, why do you want to depose the prince?"

Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang has always been a gentle person with a very good temper. She rarely gets angry like this.

This time, it is obvious that she was not able to handle Master Kang's nonsense, so she rushed back to the palace from the summer palace to "raise an army to ask for punishment".

Master Kang felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, he had never discussed this matter with the Empress Dowager before, and he was still a little disrespectful to the Empress Dowager.

But this matter really can't be blamed on him, because this matter was also quite sudden for him.

After all, before this, Master Kang had never thought that he could actually make up his mind to depose the prince.

The prince was actually his favorite son.

No matter before, now, or even in the future, there would definitely be no son whose status could surpass his.

However, precisely because of this, he wanted to depose this child from the position of the prince.

The reason was because he loved him.

When the prince was young, he was personally taught by his father.

Of course, he was satisfied with everything. After all, he was the one who taught him, and many things bore his own imprint, making it difficult for the old man not to like the prince.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the prince grew up, he showed more and more problems. Master Kang also realized more and more clearly that this child was not suitable to inherit the throne.

A father who loves his son will of course want to give his son all the best things.

But an emperor who loves his son will not do so.

Instead, he will carefully plan for his son and choose a path that is more suitable for his personality and ability.

Obviously, for the prince, it is more suitable for him to abdicate and become a leisurely prince than to be a prince.

This child is not suitable to be an emperor at all.

If he is still forced to become an emperor because of the relationship between the late queen and the father-son relationship for so many years, the result will most likely be that the entire Qing Dynasty will be buried with him.

The harm brought about by letting an unsuitable person inherit the throne can be said to be devastating.

This point has been demonstrated clearly and plainly by so many precedents in the previous dynasties. There is no need to close your eyes and pretend not to know, or to play the game of covering your ears and stealing the bell.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Master Kang is so entangled and painful.

Personally, Master Kang is the biological father of the prince, and he has truly fulfilled the responsibilities of a biological father. He is not like other princes, who are first monarch and subject, and then father and son. The relationship between father and son is naturally different from that of others.

Therefore, in his heart, Master Kang really wants the prince to continue to sit on the throne of the prince, and wait until he is a hundred years old, and then inherit the throne and become the next emperor.

But for the public, he is the emperor of the entire Qing Empire, and he cannot act on his emotions, especially he cannot let his emotions override his reason, making an unwise decision, choosing an obviously unsuitable heir, and putting the entire Qing Dynasty in danger.

Therefore, if the prince is really not suitable for the throne, he should be deposed as soon as possible, and abdicated to let the virtuous.

In this way, the tug of war between reason and emotion made Master Kang depressed, and he didn't know what to do except to escape.

It was also for this reason that he wrote crazy letters to Mo Yu during his tour without Mo Yu for the first time - it felt like playing with a drifting bottle.

They were all telling their most secret thoughts to a safe person.

Originally, if Mo Yu had been polite and even insincere in answering his letter like the other ministers, this matter would have passed.

Because, no matter how uncomfortable it was, Master Kang would not completely lose his mind and become the kind of brain-dead emperor who could be manipulated by others.

Therefore, if he did not respond properly once, Master Kang would quickly wake up on his own, and then never tell these things to outsiders again.

Oh, not just outsiders, even the insiders are not allowed.

This is also the reason why he doesn't like to tell the Empress Dowager and others about the prince's affairs - the prince is very much liked by the Empress Dowager, and if he rashly said that he wanted to abolish him, the Empress Dowager would be the first one to disagree.

Therefore, no one can tell this matter.

But Lin Moyu, you can try.

After all, he is not an ordinary person.

This is why Master Kang wanted to discuss such an important matter with Mo Yu through a letter.

However, this psychological defense line that was finally loosened would be easily closed again.

Master Kang chose Mo Yu because he felt that this child was psychologically mature and had so many magical powers that he would surely be able to wake him up soon.

But Mo Yu did not play by the rules at all and just went along with what he said. As time went by, his complaints became more and more in-depth, and it became increasingly difficult for him to deceive himself about the truth of the matter.

Yes, Mo Yu's poor performance and cooperation made Master Kang think deeply about what choice he wanted to make.

In this way, he became more determined to depose the prince. He

was going to be deposed anyway, so why not choose a day instead of a new one? Just choose today.

Master Kang felt his blood boiling, and he quickly issued an edict to depose the crown prince.

Master Kang had a typical characteristic, which was that he either didn't make a decision or, once he made a decision, he couldn't change it even with ten oxen.

Since he had already issued an edict to depose the crown prince, there was definitely no room for maneuver.

Therefore, he even interrupted his tour outside the Great Wall that he had been insisting on for so many years and turned back to the capital, which showed how seriously he took the deposing of the crown prince.

Of course, as for the subconscious desire to escape at the beginning and let the eldest prince directly escort Yinreng, who had been deposed as the crown prince, back to the capital, it was also a bad idea that he came up with in a moment of excitement.

Everyone gets confused sometimes, and isn't it time to correct the mistakes?

Since he's already back, isn't it good to just pretend that this matter never happened?

Master Kang was deceiving himself while trying to deal with the ministers who came to ask questions from all over.

Of course, there were also the princes who were as furious as a pot of boiling water.

It has to be said that these people are really difficult to deal with, because he couldn't tell where the prince had "lost his morals"...

He couldn't say that it was the "oracle" of the little god of the Lin family, right?

Everyone had obviously heard about this matter, so why did he pretend to be confused when he knew the truth, and had to ask me for an explanation?

What explanation?

So what explanation should I say?

Is it destined by heaven?

God has his own arrangements, God is the greatest, okay?

Well, before he could appease the ministers and princes, the Queen Mother came again, which really caught him off guard.

There is no way, this matter is really a bit difficult to handle.

I wish someone could help him.

After all, this is something that should be done, and it is not a wrong thing. Why don’t people support him, but instead come to blame him one by one?

Master Kang felt wronged, but Master Kang didn’t say it.

However, his silence does not mean that others will not say it.

The Queen Mother was still there, angrily waiting for a result, and the princes and ministers were also waiting for Master Kang to give them a more powerful and reasonable reason.

But Master Kang’s mind was blank, and he didn’t know what to say.

Mo Yu, who was watching from the side, felt that he was a bit pitiful.

After all, he was the greatest emperor in history, and he had been surrounded by the halo for so many years. How could he have been so vicious? It was really rare to see such a thing.

Mo Yu was eating melon there, but Master Kang suddenly came over and grabbed him.

"Lin Moyu, come here quickly and tell me why this prince must be abolished."

When Master Kang said this, he successfully attracted everyone's attention to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu felt a little unwell when he heard it.

No, I'm talking to Master Kang.

We don't do this.

You, old man, are not following the moral code of martial arts.

How can you do this?

You yourself issued the decree to depose the crown prince, and now you want me, an innocent passerby, to come up with excuses for you?

We can't play like this.

If you want to play like this, then I will also start to not observe martial ethics.

Mo Yu looked at Master Kang's anxious face. Although he was extremely angry in his heart, he softened his heart in the end.

This is just an old man who was forced to have no other choice. What else can he do? He

can only choose to forgive, right?

Fortunately, he helped Master Kang this time, which should be considered a great achievement, right?

In this case, will there be a better bargaining chip in the future?

For example, let him retire early and no longer have to work in the palace.
