The Princess Wei Yang (106+)

Chapter 159 - Reshuffle - Part 2

At this time, beads of sweat had already appeared on the foreheads of all the ministers in the palace. Especially those who had always been close to the Crown Prince felt their hearts pounding in their chest, but everyone grit their teeth and stood as straight as possible to avoid letting the Emperor think that there was collusion between themselves and the Crown Prince.

Seeing that the ministers all lowered their heads slightly, the Emperor said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Tuoba Yu took a step forward and said: "Father, the current Crown Prince is no longer capable of inheriting the great cause in the future. Deposing him is a major matter for the court. The Crown Prince's crimes must be confessed to the world in detail his accomplices must punished, so that everyone's hearts can be at ease."

The Emperor nodded and said: "I have ordered people to search the palaces of the Crown Prince and the Empress."

Not long after, a guard entered the palace and showed the Emperor the physical evidence in his hand. The Emperor sneered, threw a cloth bag at the Crown Prince's feet, and said, "See for yourself!"

The Crown Prince opened the package and saw a finely crafted wooden figure inside, seven or eight inches tall. The wooden man's hands and feet were tightly bound with rope shackles, and a long and thick iron nail was driven into his heart. The most terrifying thing was that the wooden man was wearing a dragon robe! Obviously, this wooden man refers to the Emperor!

The Crown Prince's expression changed completely, and he could hardly get up.

The Emperor said: "This was dug out of the Empress's palace. The Empress has always been dignified and virtuous and cannot do such a thing. The only possibility is that you did it while you have been attending her in her palace these past days!"

Li Wei Yang smiled. In fact, it was dug out from Beauty Zhang's palace. In the Empress's palace, Tuoba Zhen's defenses were too tight and so it was impossible for her to get in at all. But the Emperor would not tell anyone the true origin of this thing, because he had already made up his mind to depose the Crown Prince, so it made no difference from where it was dug out.

Tuoba Zhen's face was ashen. He knew that Li Wei Yang had planned this for a long time, rather than it being just a sudden thought today. She even guessed that the Emperor would not tell the Crown Prince's true crime, so she found the most perfect excuse for him. What more appropriate reason could there be than for the Crown Prince to rebel! The matter has come to this, and the Crown Prince's situation is over.

The Crown Prince's face was pale, his lips were wan and trembling. Although he didn't know who framed him so viciously, he clearly realized that he was finished.

Tuoba Yu sneered and said: "Your Majesty, when the Crown Prince gets along with his sons, he always reveals his arrogance and luxury. He often reveals his resentment towards his father. He often says: My father always scolds me for doting on my concubine, but didn't he himself also take in many beautiful concubines? He is following your example!" Then, he glanced at Chen Zheng, an official next to the Prince of the East Palace. Chen Zheng understood and immediately came out and kowtowed: "Not only that, the Crown Prince also opened an altar and invited a Taoist priest to curse His Majesty. The Taoist priest said, Your Majesty, your life span will last for generations and cannot be easily shaken. The prince then asked the Taoist priest to change you." lifespan, in order to curse you, wanting to replace you as soon as possible."

The Emperor's expression had become extremely ugly.

He said coldly: "The prince has been without virtue for a long time. It is a shame that my great country was almost ruined in the hands of such traitors! According to my imperial decree, the Crown Prince shall be deposed and imprisoned in the sky prison. Furthermore, I command the Ministry of Justice to conduct an investigation into the Crown Prince's conspiracy."
