"Tian family affairs, Li family affairs, can Sanlang handle it?"
The saint asked.
"Son...can."
Prince Fu answered.
"Then I... will allow you to marry the Yan family's wife..."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Prince Fu shouted.
Blessings are given by heaven, and misfortunes are also given by the Li family. Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on the will of the king and the thoughts of the saint.
I don't care, I feel neither happy nor sad.
The prince was unwilling to give in and his face looked as pale as death.
The crown prince will not give up the position of prince, so naturally he is unwilling to hand over the support of the Yan family to others.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was temporarily tricked by His Majesty the Emperor into a fishing net called power.
"I will soon... depose the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace... and enthrone Sanlang as the Crown Prince..."
The more they spoke, the more confused they became.
The Li family saint is talking nonsense.
"Thank you, my son, for your great grace."
Sanlang expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes.
"I will abdicate immediately and become the Emperor Emeritus, and will anoint Sanlang as the new Emperor."
Prince Fu has a young body, and the sage is in his prime.
Abdicate and let others take over?
The saint's joking words were like a dream. Li Sanlang woke up as if from a dream and kept silent for a while.
"He Nu, Li Nu, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are particularly favored and dare not disobey their father's will! Sanlang, you have no talent or virtue, how can you have such great ambitions?"
The sage was furious and asked in surprise.
"If a person has no desires and ambitions, he is nothing but grass and trees. Since I am the legitimate prince, I must not lose the dignity of the royal family!"
Prince Fu retorted and never repented until his death.
"Prince Fu...are you really unwilling to marry the daughter of the Shen family?" the saint asked again.
Prince Fu was unwilling.
"Sanlang, do you know why you are the King of Fu?" the sage asked for the last time.
"My son is a legitimate prince, so he is Prince Fu." Prince Fu looked arrogant.
"If there were no Shen family, how could I ascend the throne? If there were no Shen family, how could you become King Fu!" said the sage.
"I am the dignified Prince Fu. If I want to bring honor and fortune to a merchant family, why did my parents give birth to me as the second son? It would have been better for me not to be born well." Prince Fu replied.
Your Majesty today has fourteen sons. The sage uses all his sons if they are useful and abandons those who are useless.
Among the fourteen princes, excluding the crown prince, only Li Sanlang is the Prince of Fu.
Prince Fu, Li San is the weakest in writing, he has neither talent nor courage, and he lacks both virtue and talent.
How can a useless person gain the love of the Lord?
The king married Shen, and the lord still respected Shen.
The saint sympathizes with his meritorious officials.
The reason why Prince Fu is Prince Fu is because he wants to marry the daughter of the Shen family. If the king is unwilling to marry the Shen girl, why should the Li royal family support another Prince Fu?
If parents are biased, they must first see whether their children are hard-hearted.
The sage issued a decree, "Prince Fu has lived in vain for thirteen years. He has been unfilial as a son, disrespectful as a subject, unvirtuous as a king, and unkind to his master. He knows he is unworthy of the daughter of the Duke of Wei, Shen. He has no merit and no reward, and I am ashamed to hold the throne. I request to abandon the royal family surname of Li and live in seclusion in the streets of Chang'an, willing to be a commoner..."
A sage dares to kill the king and his father, and can also kill the king and his son.
Prince Fu committed treason and coveted the throne, but the sage simply demoted him to a commoner. I blame the lord for being too kind.
Before the Emperor finished his decree, Li San cried and begged for mercy, "Son, how could you say such things? It was my uncle... my uncle... the Imperial Uncle... My father and mother refused to grant my uncle a high position and generous salary, so my uncle bore a grudge and deceived me... My uncle also said that saints are rarely known for their saintly names, that the Empress is a witch, and that the Crown Prince is unvirtuous. I am married and living away from home, not in the Taiji Palace, and I miss my father and mother. The Imperial Uncle used my uncle's name to often lure me out for drinks. I was deceived by my uncle... I am willing to marry the daughter of the Shen family, and I am willing to take the Duke of Wei as my father..."
Li San kowtowed and begged, his appearance was miserable, and he no longer had the arrogance of a king.
"Prince Fu is close to marriageable age. If he were not in mourning for the country, he might have a wife. Your Majesty's admonitions, the Queen's teachings, and the Prince's words, Prince Fu has ignored them and refused to listen to a single word. How could the King allow a humble minister to instigate and deceive him? How dare a humble minister speak nonsense about His Majesty the Emperor!" the King's uncle cried.
King Li and Feng Pu blamed each other for the crime.
The prince-in-law thought Li San was stupid, Li San thought the prince-in-law was foolish, and outsiders thought they were the same kind of people.
No one knows whether it was the king's uncle who instigated Prince Fu to seek high positions and generous salaries for the Feng family, or whether Li San used the excuse of being just and wise to ask for the position of crown prince for Prince Fu.
In front of the crown prince, the prince asked the saint for the throne.
Li Sanlang, as a son, seized the imperial power from his father, the emperor.
Such a thing has never happened before in all dynasties.
Because it was too absurd and too bizarre, it was not severely punished.
The saint dealt with the close ministers around Prince Fu, and the queen replaced the eunuchs and maids in the prince's house.
The Lord issued an edict, demoting King Fu to King Xiucheng.
King Xiucheng's ambition was not in line with his wings. Once he left the palace, people looked at him, laughed at him, and humiliated him. Li Sanlang was humiliated and bullied by Chang'an City again. This time, he was the only one who was humiliated, and it was not persecution by the Guo family, but he brought it upon himself.
In order to preserve the reputation of the Queen and the Crown Prince, the Feng family was never exiled or demoted.
The prince's uncle had a bad heart but was in very good health. He was beaten with a hundred sticks but still survived.
The sage issued a clear order, the queen tacitly agreed, and the prince suppressed it. It happened to be the beginning of the month, and most of the royal family's children gathered in the palace.
Li Qi didn't believe the eunuchs, Li Ba didn't believe the female officials, Princess Huayang, the Princess Shouyang, and Madam Zhuzhi asked me back and forth seven or eight times.
In less than half a day, the story of King Xiucheng spread throughout the north.
With the new dynasty in power and the Eastern Palace in power, all forces want to bring down the crown prince.
The sage used the demotion of Prince Fu to strike hard at the dark corners of the court and the public, and at the same time intimidate the other princes and princes.
I am following the Queen's orders to escort Madam Shen out of Taiji Palace.
Baodai and I have lived together in Chang'an for many years, so we have become close friends.
Out of the palace gate, outside Taiji Palace.
Shen Baodai told me that the Shen family is richer than an entire state, even the richest state in the Li Dynasty...
She told me that in Taiji Palace, apart from His Majesty the Emperor, there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and after that, there is Prince Fu.
Among all the princes, no one could be more honorable than Prince Fu.
Bao Dai said, "Grandpa risked his life and death for us brothers and sisters, and for our Shen family to escape from the lowly status of merchants. He spent countless efforts and money. How could his children let him down?"
She told me that she must marry Prince Fu.
"Prince Fu won't marry me, but I'll marry him. The great king despises the Shen family, but I'll marry him. Sanlang Li is mediocre, but I'll marry him. Sanlang is not favored by the sage queen, but I'll marry him. Prince Xiucheng lives or dies, but I'll marry him. Even if he's foolish and idiotic, I'll marry him. As long as Prince Fu remains king, not a common criminal, I'll marry him even if I die. As long as I marry Prince Fu and endure for a while, all the descendants of the Shen family, starting from me, will be royal relatives and nobles..."
Baodai is devoted to the Shen family and future generations.
She is the same age as me, but she is so courageous and strong-willed that she surpasses me in every way.
Marrying Li Er is really a loss.
With her intelligence alone, if it weren't for her family background and the world's contempt, it would have been right for her to marry into the Eastern Palace and become the principal wife.
I had this thought in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out loud.
In the spring of the following year, the sage issued an edict to restore Prince Xiucheng's title of prince.
However, there is no more King Fu in this dynasty, only King Cheng!
