Hearing this announcement, even Mo Yu couldn't help but stand up straighter and cheer up.
Good guys, you're here for no reason, but everyone is here together.
Is this the first time that all the members of the "Nine Sons Fighting for the Heir" have been seen together?
It is really a moment worth remembering.
Master Kang also turned and looked towards the door, but soon, he glanced at Mo Yu with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw that the kid was there with his eyes shining with excitement. I wonder what he was thinking in his heart...
Originally, I wanted to listen carefully to see if he had any thoughts to express, but unexpectedly, this time Mo Yu just made an expression of eagerness to try and want to eat melons, but he didn't think much in his heart.
Master Kang was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up. After all, no one knew better than him what his sons were doing here today.
Lin Ruhai stood between the two men, with a calm expression as usual, as if nothing had happened, with a sense of "remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him".
Master Kang looked at this one and then at that one, and for some reason, his mood gradually calmed down. As he was talking, several princes came in and paid their respects.
The eldest prince has always been a straightforward and rough man, but today he was out of character and a little timid - this made Mo Yu look a little strange, and he kept thinking to himself,
"This eldest prince is not quite right today! What's going on?" Why aren't you making a fuss? Could it be that after sending someone to assassinate our mother Chen, he knows he has no face to see us?
The eldest prince was already worried, and when he "heard" Mo Yu's inner voice, he was almost frightened to the point of being unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, the eighth prince was standing behind him. The eighth prince was also very capable, and he immediately supported the eldest prince quietly, at least not letting him embarrass himself in public.
But they were standing in front of Master Kang, Mo Yu and others, and the distance was too close. They could see clearly any slight movement, so all of their little actions were seen by Master Kang, Mo Yu and others.
Master Kang was so angry that his teeth itched, and he felt that this boss was such a disgrace - according to his thinking, it doesn't matter if you kill people, set fires, and do all kinds of bad things, as long as you dare to admit it and take responsibility, then you are a good son.
Although these three views cannot be said to be completely correct, right?
But there is some truth.
At least according to Master Kang's statement, he can be regarded as a gangster type of person, not like now, who did bad things but dared not admit it. Then he is really cowardly and bad, and completely hopeless.
[Tsk tsk tsk tsk! You are such a coward who has the courage to do it but not the courage to admit it! Our mother Chen actually died at the hands of a scum like you, and I feel even more aggrieved when I think about it. 】
Seeing that although Mo Yu didn't say anything, but his inner thoughts were about to expose the eldest prince's past, the eighth prince was a little impatient.
He tried to say something to put an end to the awkward atmosphere, so he began to use his expertise to force a topic.
"I wonder what important matter the emperor summoned his sons for?"
After saying this, Master Kang remembered, isn't it?
Things have come to this point, they can't just sit and wait for death, and always be led by Lin Moyu. They still have to play to the advantage of the host family and take the initiative to guide the topic.
Thinking of this, Master Kang was too lazy to find out whether these princes took the initiative to ask for an audience or he summoned them.
Anyway, everyone is here, so just chat casually.
Otherwise, Lin Moyu might reveal some more big news - he is old and can't stand any big storms.
So, Master Kang coughed lightly and immediately took over the Eighth Prince's words.
"I summoned you here today to ask what you think about my abolition of the Crown Prince a few days ago."
Well, I accidentally blurted out the truth that I had hidden in my heart for a long time...
Well... OK, since I'm here anyway, I might as well ask. Is it more exciting than listening to Lin Moyu revealing the news to each prince one by one?
Master Kang thought about how his head hurt the last time he heard Mo Yu reveal to him that Yinreng was having an affair with a nobleman - my good man, this kid is really bold.
He actually knew this kind of royal secret so casually, and he complained so loudly in his heart - although he himself probably didn't know that he had such a "supernatural power", but this was too...
Realizing that he had been led astray by Lin Moyu again, Master Kang quickly shook his head lightly to stop himself from thinking further, and immediately got to the point, waiting for his sons' replies.
To be honest, although it was a bit abrupt, this was indeed the topic that Master Kang wanted to talk about with his sons the most.
He had indeed been brewing the matter of deposing the crown prince for a long time.
If Lin Moyu hadn't reminded him again and again with that inner voice, he really wanted to continue pretending to be confused until he couldn't pretend anymore.
According to Lin Moyu, this incident should have happened in September of the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, when he was returning from a tour outside the Great Wall.
And he was imprisoned directly in the Xian'an Palace at that time. It can be seen that the matter was quite a big deal at that time, and he should have been quite angry.
Oh, it seems to be related to the death of the Eighteenth Prince - that was really a sin, the Eighteenth Prince was only seven or eight years old that year, how could he die?
If Yinreng is abolished in advance now, and the Eighteenth Prince is not taken on a tour outside the Great Wall, will he not die?
When Master Kang thought of this, he felt that his head was buzzing again.
However, after some calm and careful thinking, Master Kang still abolished Yinreng's position as the crown prince in advance, making him the second prince, and competing fairly for the position of the next emperor like other princes.
The reason why he was not the crown prince was because he was not prepared to appoint another crown prince.
As Lin Moyu said in the "oracle" that he released with his inner voice, he was indeed reluctant to abolish Yinreng.
Therefore, it is normal to "establish two and abolish two".
But now think about it carefully, if this is really the case, then these sons may not necessarily fight each other - Lin Moyu said that after the fourth son ascended the throne, he was very cruel to the eighth, ninth, fourteenth and several younger princes who followed them.
But they were indeed not killed, they were just humiliated and disgusted.
Why didn't he realize that the fourth brother was such a person before?
If this is really the case, then he might have to reconsider who to give the throne to.
Yinreng... No matter how reluctant he is, looking at his expression, he knows that this child is really not suitable to inherit the throne.
Look at that look?
What?
I abolished your position as the crown prince, and you hate me so much?
It means that you didn't listen to a word of Lin Moyu's "oracles", right?
Master Kang looked at the deposed crown prince Yinreng with a cold face and hatred in his eyes, and felt a wave of disappointment in his heart.
Looking at the Eighth Prince who seemed to be quite happy about Yinreng being deposed and that everyone was competing fairly, Master Kang felt his headache getting worse.
However, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, since Master Kang had directly asked them what they thought about the deposed prince, they had to answer one by one.
However, these answers were all very official and insincere without exception.
The eldest prince recommended the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince recommended the Fourteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince also recommended the Eighth Prince, and the Third Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were very powerful and actually recommended the deposed prince Yinreng.
The fourth prince said nothing, and when asked, he just said, "I am stupid and don't know which prince is more suitable. It's all up to the emperor"...
Basically, Mo Yu would think that he is worthy of being the fourth prince. At this time, he still plans to keep a low profile?
The other princes and Master Kang secretly despised him in their hearts: Come on, stop pretending! Lin Moyu said a long time ago that you are the successor emperor in the future, and it is useless to pretend to be innocent.
Because this matter cannot be said openly, it does not prevent other princes from finding other negative information about the fourth prince - although it is not easy to find, it is not impossible if
you try hard. So, the whole scene presented a lively scene like a vegetable market with people coming and going.
Mo Yu watched from the side, eating melon while asking System 006 to look up some information for him from time to time. It really felt like he was immersing himself in the scene of "Nine Sons Seizing the Crown Prince".
It was quite sour and refreshing.
But when he was watching the show and complaining, he was as happy as a god, but suddenly he felt that Master Kang was watching him, and then the old man suddenly spoke, which made him a little sad.
It turned out that Master Kang was very angry when he saw that he was eating melon happily, but he was here being angered to death by a few unfilial sons.
Why should I, as the emperor, worry about these trivial matters, while Lin Moyu can be so leisurely?
No, we must find a reason to hurt each other.
So Master Kang, who was so angry, suddenly had an idea and came up with a bad idea.
"Lin Moyu, tell me, who is more suitable to inherit the throne?"
Good man, you are not asking who is more suitable to be the crown prince, but asking directly about the succession?
Asking about the succession, doesn't that mean that the current emperor is going to die?
Oh, this is not good, this is disrespectful!
So everyone who reacted immediately knelt on the ground, and Master Kang calmed down and insisted that Mo Yu give him an explanation.
This action made Mo Yu almost vomit blood - I'm not saying Master Kang, we don't play like this?
How should I answer you if you ask so directly?
If I say it directly, Fourth Brother, can you believe it?
You can't just say it casually.
Mo Yu knelt on the ground with a bitter face and said "I dare not" along with everyone else, while he was complaining madly in his heart.
At this moment, a brilliant idea suddenly came to his mind.
He subconsciously said: "Why not follow the wishes of His Majesty and let the capable take the position."
As soon as he said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Even Master Kang stopped his crazy scanning eyes.
"The capable take the position" is simply nonsense.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is really no more appropriate answer than this.
Master Kang pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Then let's do it this way... But, Lin Moyu, you have to enter the palace and help me be a judge."
