Chapter 164 167: Debate in the Imperial Study Room
What happened at Cuiyuyun Tower spread across the Flashy Street in the blink of an eye, and then spread quickly throughout Kyoto City like the wind.
Imperial Palace Study Room.
Emperor Dongyue threw the cup in anger when he heard it. A country girl actually ruined Xuanyuan's spirit beast and face?
Although there were many princesses in the royal family, none could match Xuanyuan's appearance. He had already planned to marry her to the Shu Kingdom. A ruined face would be of no value.
Moreover, if the appearance of a princess of a country is destroyed in public, where is the majesty of the emperor if she is not punished?
But it happened to be a direct descendant of the Marquis Mansion, so it was really difficult to handle.
"Your Majesty, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis Mansion is so cruel and should be punished." The Prime Minister of the Left, Wang Yang, has always been at odds with the Marquis Mansion, so he would not miss the opportunity if he got it.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what is the reason for the punishment?" Prime Minister Shen Zhong asked.
"Conspiracy to murder the royal family should be punished by death."
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Zuo didn't hear the whole story. The fourth princess's spirit beast hurt someone first, and it went towards the face of the legitimate lady. If Yu Yan scratched her face, you can imagine the consequences." Shen Zhongdao. .
"That Yu Wushuang is not injured at all. It is a fact that the fourth princess of Dongyue was seriously injured."
"It was good luck that she was not injured. The fourth princess released her spirit beast to attack others first, but she was seriously injured later. From the beginning to the end, the concubine of the Marquis Mansion never took action. It was the spirit beast that hurt people. Everyone knows that she was born unable to practice and cannot sign a spiritual contract. Beast, in the final analysis, this crime will not fall on her head."
Wang Yang changed his face when he heard this: "Shen Zhong, you are sophistry."
"It's just a matter of fact. In this world, we must always talk about harmony in everything." Prime Minister You said and saluted Emperor Dongyue: "Didn't the Emperor often say that the prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people?"
Emperor Dongyue's face was solemn. The prince had told him the reason for the incident. It was indeed his mistake to make a mistake, but if he didn't punish him, where would the royal family's face be?
Wang Yang secretly observed the emperor's expression, rolled his eyes and said again: "Your Majesty, Yu Wushuang is still blatantly provoking the royal authority in Cuiyuyun Tower, and threatening that all loyal ministers will end up with Feng Yanqing."
Emperor Dongyue's eyes suddenly sank: "Is this really true?"
The prince only mentioned that Yu Wushuang asked the old Marquis to resign and return to his hometown, but did not mention Feng Yanqing. Is the prince trying to protect the young lady of the Yu family?
"Yes, many people have heard it. Yu Wushuang is despising the emperor's power, let alone taking the emperor into his eyes..."
"Prime Minister Zuo is wrong."
Shen Zhong interrupted him.
Wang Yang turned his head and glared.
"The fourth princess mentioned that the power of the Marquis Mansion was given by the Emperor. If the Emperor took over the power, the Marquis Mansion would be nothing. I believe Prime Minister Zuo also knows how much the old Marquis has paid for Dongyue. A lot of his age has been lost to a teenager. If the little girl opens her mouth and declares that she is 'nothing', what will Prime Minister Zuo do if this matter is left to him?"
"I... of course I am..."
"Of course Prime Minister Zuo knelt down and shouted loudly that the princess was right." Shen Zhong answered.
The prince felt a suffocation in his chest: "In this world, if the king wants me to die, I have to die. The princess of a country is the proud son of heaven. As a subject, I should kneel down and worship."
"What Prime Minister Zuo said makes sense, but after all you are not the old marquis. The old marquis has been fighting on the battlefield for the people of Dongyue for half his life. He has suffered countless injuries. He has devoted himself to Dongyue, regardless of life and death. How can such a person be compared with a teenager? The girl saluted just because of her status, but the fourth princess threatened to destroy the Marquis Mansion. I don’t think there is such a distinguished military general or general who can tolerate such humiliation." After Shen Zhong finished his long speech, he saluted Emperor Dongyue again: "Your Majesty, your Majesty. What do you think?"
