Chapter 317 The Second Deposed Prince
Although Su Zhenzhen felt that her father's words were just empty promises, she still wasn't moved.
She blinked her peach blossom eyes and looked at Rong Jinchen, "Husband, will you let me have a second child?" She didn't want to!
Little Tangyuan covered his eyes with his hands and sobbed, "No, no, wuwuwu... Chaochao doesn't want a brother or sister!" His father and mother belong to him alone!
Rong Jinchen held him on his lap, and little Tangyuan leaned in Rong Jinchen's arms aggrievedly, "Daddy, I don't want a younger brother or sister. Don't you love Chaochao anymore?" He wrapped his little hands around Rong Jinchen's neck tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The man suddenly raised his thin lips, his dark eyes smiling, "No, it's enough for Qingqing and I to have a child together." He felt that he could hardly take care of the child.
Su Zhenzhen and little Tangyuan's eyes sparkled when they heard this. They kissed Rong Jinchen on the cheeks at the same time, one on each side. "I love you, my husband/daddy~" and nestled in his arms again. Su Zhenzhen's little hands were still touching little Tangyuan's chubby cheeks with tears in them. "Chaochao, don't cry. Chaochao is the only baby for daddy and mommy." She leaned over and kissed him again.
Little Tangyuan lifted up his little feet, he smiled happily, and leaned over to kiss Su Zhenzhen's face, "I love mommy, I love daddy." He pouted his little mouth and acted coquettishly.
Su Zhenzhen played with the little Tangyuan for a while, and she held Rong Jinchen's white and slender fingers and played with them, "Husband, what are we going to eat later?" She was hungry again.
Rong Jinchen smiled and kissed her cherry lips, "Chao Chao loves to eat so much, he really is like Qingqing." Little Tangyuan's eyes sparkled, "Eat meat! Chao Chao is just like mother!" He likes it!
Rong Jinchen and Su Zhenzhen's hearts were trembling with cuteness because of him. Little Tangyuan was so adorable, and having a cub like him was enough for them.
On May 22nd, Umrah will be held.
When His Majesty attended the morning court, he directly liquidated the Jiangnan noble families and the leaders of those who were hypocritically disobeying the orders in various places.
Other noble families and officials who dared to fail to report taxes to him blindly were given three days to make up the unpaid taxes, and they would be forgiven for their past mistakes.
The ministers were shocked that His Majesty was targeting his maternal family, as well as the maternal families of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!
Oh my God!
Are they still living in the Yuantai Dynasty?
Your Majesty has a cruel heart!
Duke Dingguo Ye Jiaping was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. You can't treat me like this! My sister asked me to treat you well before she died! Have you forgotten? Brother-in-law!" He wept and knelt, begging for mercy. "I was blinded by greed. Those who concealed or underreported will be reported immediately! Brother-in-law, please let me go this time! Wuwuwuwu..." Duke Dingguo Ye Jiaping had never imagined that the emperor, who had always indulged him, would actually want him executed in two weeks. He didn't want to die!
Rong Yue's eyes were deep, but he said nothing. He had given Duke Dingguo a chance. He had summoned Duke Dingguo alone yesterday.
But what did Duke Ding say? He said that Your Majesty's reforms would benefit the country and the people, and that I would follow you to the death. But secretly, he led the Jiangnan families to undermine the foundation of his Great Qin. How could Rong Yue tolerate this?
Rong Yue said nothing. He sat on the dragon throne and watched Duke Dingguo kneel on the ground and kowtow to admit his mistake.
Perhaps knowing that His Majesty would not let him go, Duke Dingguo suddenly turned his head to Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, "Your Highness, please save me! I am your biological uncle! Please help me plead with Your Majesty! I can give up being Duke Dingguo, Your Highness!" He didn't want to die!
It is obvious that Your Majesty should have just fined his salary and asked him to pay the taxes he had embezzled, or demoted him. Why did he go to the extent of wanting his life?
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the kindness I have shown you since childhood? I am your biological uncle!" He was dragged away by the imperial guards while crying.
A fierce struggle flashed in the eyes of Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, and then he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and dared not speak.
Prince Jin Rong Jinyu and Prince Duan Rong Jinqi lowered their heads silently, with smiles flashing in their eyes.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unlucky, and his in-laws are so disappointing.
After the morning court session, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou and Prince of Yan Rong Jinchen were both summoned by His Majesty to the Weiyang Palace.
Rong Yue looked at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, "Crown Prince, do you have anything to say now?" He had just been observing for a long time, and Crown Prince Rong Jinyou opened his mouth several times but did not speak.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou bowed and said, "Father, I feel that your punishment is too harsh. Can you demote Duke Dingguo to a commoner and exile him to Lingnan?" He really couldn't bear to watch his uncle die.
This is my mother's only biological brother, born of the same mother!
Even though he knew it would anger his father, he still had to plead for Duke Dingguo, otherwise he would not be able to live with his conscience.
Rong Jinchen frowned. Why would his second brother, the Crown Prince, be deceived by the sweet words of Duke Dingguo?
Previously, Duke Dingguo intended to give his eldest daughter to his second brother, the Crown Prince, as a concubine, openly plotting against the crown prince.
If it weren't for the fact that the second prince had let him go, and if it weren't for the fact that my father hadn't let him go for the sake of my mother, he would have dealt with him long ago.
The seriousness of the situation now is obviously incomparable to before!
It’s not that Rong Jinchen is hypocritical, he really thinks that the second prince is a little soft-hearted.
It was not the Emperor who wanted to kill Duke Dingguo, but he himself took the lead in secretly disobeying the Emperor.
Relying on the fact that he is the uncle of the emperor, he thinks that His Majesty is reluctant to kill him. Who can he blame?
Rong Jinchen has little feelings for outsiders, even those from his family. He hates their hypocritical expressions and exaggerated acting skills.
The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and he will not indulge the Ye family because of the Queen Mother.
Rong Yue suddenly smiled. Perhaps he knew what kind of person the Crown Prince was. His eyes were cold. "You are truly fearless, Crown Prince." His tone was icy. "Do you really think I won't depose you a second time?"
Rong Jinchen pursed his thin lips and suddenly looked at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, "Father, I have a clear conscience." Crown Prince Rong Jinyou knelt down and looked straight into his face.
Rong Yue laughed in anger, "Good, what a clear conscience! Are you threatening me? Do you think I will be ashamed to face your mother!" He clenched his fists. He was very glad at this moment that he still had a choice.
If he and Yi'er only had one son, the prince, Rong Yue would never be able to rest in peace in his heart.
Weiyang Palace.
Rong Jinchen had just witnessed his father deposing the crown prince for the second time.
He was a little slow to react. He had just subconsciously pleaded for mercy to his second brother, the Crown Prince, and was still kneeling on the ground.
"Chen'er, look at your second brother. He is so stubborn. Can I hand over the Qin dynasty to him with confidence? Can he firmly implement the reforms that I have worked hard all my life to implement?" Rong Yue helped Rong Jinchen up from the ground and looked at Rong Jinchen with a serious face.
Rong Jinchen was silent. "Chen'er, father has never thought of giving the throne to other illegitimate princes. Let me tell you a sincere truth. I deliberately raised them to be useless. Before the incident with Duke Dingguo, father had only considered your second brother to inherit the throne. Only your second brother and you are the sons I have painstakingly nurtured." Rong Yue gestured for Rong Jinchen to sit down and held Rong Jinchen's hand. "Father does not want to have a wife who is posthumously honored a hundred years later."
