256. Chapter 256 Fudge the Emperor Fudge the World 02
There are too many people who don't believe it, including the officials in the court, King Nanrong, King Xirong, King Beirong... Queen, Concubine Shu, Concubine De... Princess Nanrong, Princess Xirong, etc.
But the emperor was so convinced that he made Baili Xixi a first-class bachelor as soon as he said it.
King Nanrong refused at first, but he had always been a filial and good son in front of the old emperor, so naturally he could not contradict the old emperor in public.
King Nanrong gave a look, and Zhang Yushi immediately stood up, opened his mouth, and spitted saliva at Baili Xixi.
"Princess Dongrong is a woman. It was she who said she hanged herself for Prince Dongrong, and it was also she who said she was enlightened by the gods... These are all words of Princess Dongrong alone. There is no evidence or drama. How can anyone believe it... Your Majesty,
A genuine first-grade scholar is the pillar of the country and the pillar of the country, how can he confer a title on a woman... It is inappropriate for both emotion and reason, and for the rules of our ancestors."
Zhang Yushi's pleading was reasonable, and many people nodded after listening to his words.
However, the old emperor didn't listen to a word.
Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhang Yushi was a member of King Nanrong made the old emperor very displeased with him.
Moreover, the old emperor was in a high position and had an arrogant and arrogant personality. What he hated most was people who contradicted him.
The old emperor sneered, and everyone present fell silent, not daring to whisper.
The old emperor said to Zhang Yushi: "Zhang Yushi, didn't you hear? I just said that I dreamed that I saw Princess Dongrong wearing Qilin official uniform. Isn't she the reincarnation of Wenquxing? Could it be you?"
The old emperor's words were thorny, and he defended Baili Xixi every word.
The emperor's dream may not necessarily be true? Zhang Yushi thought in his heart, but he did not dare to say so. He glanced at King Nanrong.
At this moment, King Nanrong frowned slightly, looking at Baili Xixi's words and thinking about the old emperor's intentions.
Seeing that King Nanrong ignored him, Zhang Yushi knelt on the ground and said nothing.
At this time, King Xirong, whose leg injury was basically healed, came out.
"Father, Grand Scholar Wenzheng has been working diligently for decades, and has just been promoted to the first-rank bachelor recently. Even if Princess Dongrong is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, she has not made any contributions and has not done anything in current affairs. She has been ranked first-rank all of a sudden. I'm afraid she won't be able to
Conquer the public."
Wen Zheng, who was named by King Xirong, was an old man with a white beard. After listening to King Xirong's words, he slowly walked out from behind Prime Minister Chen, kneeling on the ground with his legs and knees.
Academician Wenzheng knew what King Xirong wanted him to say, but he remained silent and angry, just like an outsider.
King Xirong glanced at Grand Scholar Wenzheng coldly, then smiled and said to the old emperor: "Father, we should discuss this later."
King Xirong was younger than King Nanrong and smarter than King Nanrong.
Why hang yourself? God, King Xirong didn't know whether it was true or not. But he had a pretty good guess as to what the old emperor, who insisted on making Baili Xixi a first-class official, wanted to do.
His father actually got a woman to fight with them. It seemed that he was really at the end of his rope.
King Xirong's words were more weighty and convincing than those of Zhang Yushi. He had many civil officials behind him to support him. In addition, King Nanrong had also guessed some of the old emperor's intentions and also held objections.
.
At first glance, except for Rong Qian, who did not express his position, and a few close officials of the old emperor, all the people kneeling on the top of the mountain wanted the old emperor to take back his imperial order.
The old emperor was so angry that his hands shook even more.
