"The prince is too indecisive. He is unable to make a decision and will never achieve great things."
Mo Junmao sighed.
Over the years, as Concubine Wen's son grew up, she became more and more greedy. She not only wanted the emperor's exclusive favor, but also the most supreme position in the world.
Mo Junmao's desire to change the crown prince was not due to Concubine Wen's advice. He also felt that the crown prince was too kind, indecisive, and unable to control the ministers. He was not at ease leaving the country in his hands.
However, Concubine Wen thought that the emperor was partial to her and that she would ascend to the throne in no time, so she cried and begged for the emperor's pity all day long.
Even Empress Zhen mistakenly believed that the emperor was thinking of replacing the crown prince for Concubine Wen's child, and she could not help but hate him in her heart. She had long been cold to the emperor, but how could she be replaced by a woman who only cared about her beauty after so many years of dedication?
Tu Yufan was speechless about Concubine Wen's behavior. She was like this in the original plot, but Mo Junmao thought about it and still felt that the third prince was suitable for the position of crown prince. Later, the male protagonist succeeded to the throne. Concubine Yu remembered the days when she was tortured by Concubine Wen before her son succeeded to the throne, and she was immediately furious. After she came to power, Concubine Yu demoted Concubine Wen to a commoner, making her wash clothes and do housework all day long. Her life was worse than that of a maid. In the end, she was disfigured, had her legs broken, and died of madness in the cold palace.
䀴Her son was also demoted to a commoner and driven out of Huazhou.
Tu Yufan thought that if Empress Zhen had come to the throne, Concubine Wen might not have been so miserable.
Mo Junmao once again proposed to change the crown prince in the court, but was still opposed by the ministers as usual.
This time Mo Junmao didn't want to listen anymore, and seemed determined to do so.
Tu Yufan stepped forward to persuade him: "The crown prince is related to the country and the country. The crown prince is not wrong. Since ancient times, the eldest son has been appointed as the heir, which follows the great tradition and can ensure the harmony of the royal family's descendants. Moreover, the emperor is young and strong, and the crown prince can still improve. There is no suitable candidate for the crown prince. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Mo Junmao insisted that the prince was indecisive and unable to keep the country. In history, most of the rulers who could not keep their country were extravagant and licentious monarchs or treacherous ministers. Tu Yufan also believed that he was not a treacherous minister, and the prince was not a foolish monarch.
It is also possible that Mo Junmao felt that the prince was too dependent on the queen. The queen was smart and capable. Every time he encountered difficulties before he ascended the throne, the queen could always help him solve the problems and propose countermeasures. In order to prevent the foreign relatives from becoming the heir, he had to be so cruel. However, in the original plot, after the male protagonist ascended the throne, Queen Zhen and Concubine Yu got along well, and they did not have much obsession with power.
As for Old Deng, Mo Junmao won't live for many years anyway, so if you praise him for his youth, he will think that he has lived a long life and has time to wait and see.
Other old ministers stepped forward excitedly and said: "The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. Shaking the Crown Prince is shaking the world. How can you do this? If Your Majesty insists on doing this, the old ministers can only die to show their determination."
This made Mo Junmao so angry that he fell backwards, but he was not a murderer, so he could only give up the idea. Thinking of Tu Yufan's words, he felt that he was still young and should teach the prince more.
Mo Junmao failed to depose the crown prince, and Concubine Wen fell ill. Mo Junmao took care of her for three days without taking off her clothes, and she finally recovered. Empress Zhen watched coldly, and she, who had not interfered in the court for a long time, began to make plans for herself.
An Xingshuang came back from the palace banquet with an unnatural look on her face.
"My dear husband, the Queen wants to talk to me alone."
"What are you doing, madam?"
"The queen is very grateful to her husband for his righteous words. She said that if it weren't for her husband, the prince might have been deposed."
Tu Yufan said uncomfortably: "The prince has done nothing wrong, this is how it should be. What else did she say? Tell her all."
