Chapter 123
"Oh? Impeach the prince?" Hearing this, Emperor Tang suddenly became energetic.
He knew that Wang Lang, the minister of household affairs, belonged to the third prince Tang Shuheng. Wang Lang came to impeach the prince early in the morning. Could it be that Tang Yu had some leverage that fell into the hands of the third prince?
Wang Langlao burst into tears. As soon as he finished speaking, two servants carried Wang Xiu's body into the Golden Palace.
"Who is this?"
Seeing a corpse that had been shriveled by the fire, everyone in the court was shocked.
Before Tang Huang asked, Wang Lang choked and said: "Your Majesty, look, this is my son Wang Xiu!"
"What? Mr. Wang, this is your son Wang Xiu? It's impossible, right?"
"Wang Xiu is Lord Wang's favorite. Lord Wang has a son in his old age. It is said that he loves Wang Xiu very much. Wang Xiu is extremely talented and has become the most talented person in the capital in his twenties. How come Wang Xiu, who was so good, died?
"
"Yes! What happened? The bodies were separated. Isn't it too tragic that Wang Xiu died?"
Hearing Wang Lang burst into tears, the civil and military officials were shocked. Even the Emperor of Tang did not expect that the person who died in the audience was Wang Xiu, the most talented man in the capital.
"Master Wang, tell me your grievances. Don't worry, if Yu'er gets into trouble, I will never forgive him easily!" Emperor Tang said in a deep voice.
With the words of Emperor Tang, Wang Lang seemed to have found a backbone, and he said with righteous indignation: "Reporting to Your Majesty, last night I went out to enjoy the lanterns. Not long after I left, Prince Tang Yu led hundreds of people and broke into my home. His Highness the Crown Prince did not distinguish between them.
In a flash, he swung his butcher's knife and killed many of my family members!"
"Not only that, my Xiu'er was beheaded by His Highness the Crown Prince. Afterwards, His Highness the Crown Prince set fire to the old minister's mansion! Your Majesty, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival last night. I didn't expect that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old minister actually died.
Son, please ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me!"
Wang Lang concealed something here, that is, he went out last night at the invitation of the third prince. Wang Lang did not dare to say in public that he went to find the third prince, otherwise it would be too obvious to form a clique.
"Is there such a thing?" All the ministers were shocked.
Last night, the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs in Beicheng was in flames. Many people knew the news in advance. However, they only knew that the person who set the fire was Prince Tang Yu. Unexpectedly, Tang Yu also killed Wang Lang's son Wang Xiu.
"Go on, please continue your performance!"
Tang Yu was not frightened by Wang Lang's accusation. He stared at the elderly Wang Lang with a face full of amusement.
Seeing that Tang Yu was confident, Wang Lang said angrily: "Your Majesty, you saw it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke into the house of the imperial official and killed people and set fires. He didn't feel guilty at all. I want to impeach the Crown Prince. Today, I must impeach the Crown Prince!"
"
"Father, last night was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ninth brother broke into Wang Shilang's house without permission, killed people and set fire. This is really heinous! If the ninth brother is not punished, how will the Manchu Civil and Military Council treat my father in the future?" The third prince Tang Shuheng immediately stood up.
"Yes! Your Majesty, please punish the prince severely!"
Immediately afterwards, all the civil servants of the dynasty stood up one after another. They shared the same hatred, as if Tang Yu had committed a heinous crime.
As the eldest prince, Tang Long also took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Father, it is really sad that Lord Wang lost his son during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If father does not punish Lao Jiu, won't everyone in the civil and military dynasties be in danger in the future? What if in the future?
What should I do if Lao Jiu bursts into the courtiers’ homes, murders, and sets fires when he has nothing to do? Punish him severely, he must be punished severely!”
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Under the leadership of the eldest prince Tang Long, a group of military generals also walked out one after another.
Although they didn't know the specific cause of the conflict, in their eyes, what Tang Yu did this time went too far, and they must seize the opportunity to impeach Tang Yu from power.
"Yu'er, is this possible?" Tang Huang's face gradually darkened.
