Separated from this tall vermilion palace door and passing through the passage, inside is the private residence of Yuan Ren, the current emperor and the last ruler of the Jin Dynasty, Zichen Palace.

During a royal hunt three years ago, the royal horse was inexplicably frightened. Emperor Yuanren fell from the galloping horse and was seriously injured.

After being rescued, he was completely paralyzed.

From then on, he could not go to court and could only "give orders" from his bed.

In fact, his decrees cannot even leave the capital.

Since this year, the emperor's health has been deteriorating. He is often in coma and is in danger of dying at any time.

The crown prince and the noble concubine were ordered to meet the emperor by imperial edict. According to the imperial system, they could enter the palace directly without having to ask for an edict.

I saw Yuan Zhi walking in a hurry, walking in front of the imperial concubine Cao Feiyan.

At this moment, the prince had completely controlled his emotions. He had a stern look on his face, sharp eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing as he walked quickly through the hall, preparing to climb the jade staircase.

"The prince is slow!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed out from behind Prime Minister Cao Qichang and stood in front of Prince Yuanzhi.

"The emperor is currently reviewing the impeachment memorials of the ministers and has no time to meet anyone. Please wait outside the palace gate. It will not be too late to go in after hearing the edict inside the palace."

Yuan Zhi was so shocked that he stopped in a hurry, raised his eyes and saw an official in his fifties wearing a purple court robe.

"Bold! Following His Majesty's order, I rushed into the Zichen Palace to face the Holy Spirit. Who are you to dare to stop this prince?"

Yuan Zhi knew in his heart that he must try to see the emperor as much as possible, state his views that he was already familiar with, and prevent the dethronement process.

Otherwise, your fate is not yours to control, stop it!

"Veteran Chen Huaiyuan has been appointed as the Provincial Attendant."

The Menxia Province is the review body of the court's etiquette, laws and decrees. In the five-phase cabinet system of the late Jin Dynasty, Shizhong was one of the five prime ministers, with a rank of first rank, second only to the prime minister, and had a high position of power.

But even if he is one of the five prime ministers, he is still a minister.

Who is the Crown Prince?

He was the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, not an ordinary vassal prince, he was the master.

There is an insurmountable hierarchy of etiquette between monarch, minister, father and son.

What is annoying is that Chen Huaiyuan's tone was indifferent and he did not take this monarch seriously at all.

Not only him, but also the second-rank and above officials standing in front of the Xuanzheng Hall looked on with disdain on their faces.

Everyone here knows that the current crown prince is a dandy with insufficient civil and military skills, a cowardly loser.

Chen Huaiyuan dared to come forward to stop him, gave the Crown Prince a command and embarrassed him in public. This was nothing more than sounding the clarion call to impeach the Crown Prince and depose him from the throne.

But fate is not as good as fate. Not only has the crown prince in front of him changed, but he is also very courageous.

Seeing the imperial concubine ascending the jade steps unimpeded, Yuan Zhi became anxious.

Once he was unable to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the imperial concubine's greedy words, adding jealousy to the impeachment memorial of the courtiers, might very well be the last straw for Emperor Jiye to issue an edict to abolish the emperor.

"My prince doesn't care who you are, get out of the way!"

The anxious Yuan Zhi could no longer care about the court etiquette. He shouted loudly, raised his leg and kicked Chen Huaiyuan in the abdomen.

It is said that the crown prince is incompetent in civil and military affairs, so it depends on who he is compared with.

If compared with the civil and martial arts of previous heirs to the throne, the original owner was indeed far behind.

But compared with other young masters, he is strong.

An old man over fifty years old, almost half of his life was lost with this kick.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhi did not completely lose his mind. He only used three successes to kick Chen Huaiyuan until he screamed and rolled to the ground.

"Gu's father is in danger now, but as a court official, you dare to prevent this prince from performing his filial piety in front of the dragon bed. You have ulterior motives. If Gu had not wanted to face the emperor immediately, I would have killed you now!"

Yuan Zhi's eyes widened in anger, pointing at Chen Huaiyuan who fell to the ground, scolding and roaring angrily.

The entire Xuanzheng Hall was completely silent.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

No one could have expected that this dandy and good-for-nothing crown prince would dare to kick one of the five ministers of the court in public.

Chen Huaiyuan was born in a distinguished family, his ancestors had been officials for generations, and he was a high-ranking official who had read the books of sages and sages. How could he have ever experienced such a shame and humiliation?

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!

He lay on the ground like a shrew, pointed at the prince who was stepping up the steps to enter the bedroom, and cursed by name:

"Yuanzhi, you are still just a crown prince, but in front of everyone, you kicked and beat up a minister of the first rank of the dynasty in front of the court. With such a bad moral character, how can you inherit the throne in the future if you don't care about the rites and laws of the dynasty? I must be a minister now.

I strongly advise Your Majesty to depose you from the position of Crown Prince!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received responses from most of the courtiers.

"Yes, Master Chen is right. The prince is unkind and unethical. We will all remonstrate to His Majesty later."

"???"

The place started to become noisy and commotion began.

As the leader of hundreds of officials and the leader of the five prime ministers, Prime Minister Cao Qichang not only did not come forward to stop him, but instead grinned and stared directly at Yuan Zhi with an evil look on his face.

Yuan Zhi, who has lived in two lifetimes, is not stupid.

D!

This is a naked provocation to the imperial power and a conspiracy designed in advance.

The final decision-maker on your own fate is not the ministers in front of you, but the current emperor, his cheap father, Yuan Ren, who is lying on the dragon couch in the palace.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

The next drama in the dormitory is the key, he has to perform it well.

"I have no time to argue with you now. I will wait until I enter the dormitory and fulfill my filial piety before I come out to talk to you."

After saying that, Yuan Zhi quickly walked through the corridor, opened the door of the dormitory, and walked straight to the dragon couch.

Kneeling in front of the dragon couch were several of the chief doctors of the Imperial Hospital, as well as the chief chamberlain and others.

When they saw the imperial concubine and the crown prince coming in one after another, they immediately gave up their positions and retreated to the other side of the dormitory.

This needs to be avoided.

What came into Yuan Zhi's eyes was an old man with a pale complexion, a limp body, a bloated body, and a breathless appearance.

In fact, the age of Jiye Emperor Yuanren was not very old, he was only in his mid-forties. This was mainly due to the torture of his illness.

Perhaps because the body was the original owner of the prince, the body's organs have deep memories. Yuan Zhi couldn't help but kneel down, his eyes were red, his nose was sore, and he burst into tears.

Oh my god, he can fall into the role naturally without having to act, which solved a big problem for him.

Yuan Zhi was seen leaning forward, holding the emperor's cold right hand tightly with both hands, and choked with tears:

"Father, I'm late."

On the dragon bed, Emperor Jiye Yuanren, who originally had his eyes closed, heard the crown prince's affectionate call and the warmth transmitted from his hands. This rare family affection lifted his spirits, and his eyelids trembled and relaxed.

Open your eyes slowly.

Seeing the prince with tears streaming down his face, a glimmer of light shone through his originally cloudy eyes, "Zhi'er, you finally saw me coming, but how is your body recovering?"

The Crown Prince was poisoned. Ji Hong, the chief chamberlain, had only told him a few days ago. They deliberately concealed it for fear that His Majesty the Emperor would not be able to bear it.
