"Well said!" Emperor Tianqi, who had just entered the hall, said with appreciation.
It turned out that Xiao Hu and Xiao Changfeng had just quarreled, and the sound became louder unconsciously.
The emperor walked into the hall and listened clearly to the conversation between the two.
"Xiao Changfeng, what you said is very good. Princess Nianyun was always stupid in the past. You are a good match that I personally selected for her. I am very relieved that you will take care of her in the future."
Hearing that the emperor stood by Xiao Changfeng so obviously, the ministers who were ready to watch the excitement were stunned on the spot.
This is different from what they thought.
They thought that with Su Nianyun's shabby reputation, if word of it reached the emperor, he would be furious and withdraw the marriage.
Unexpectedly, what the emperor said when he came out was completely different from what they usually thought.
"Your Majesty," a censor stood up at this moment, "Princess Nianyun does not abide by the rules of women and has chaotic personal relationships. Although there is no clear law to convict her, she does not deserve to have a beloved man like Xiao Hou.
"
"Please, Your Majesty, take back your decree of marriage, and then ask the nuns in the palace to give Princess Nianyun a strict lesson!"
"Li Yushi..."
Prince Zhao Chengji helped the emperor sit down on the throne, and then came to the main hall to face Li Yushi face to face.
"Your Highness, what advice can you give me?"
"I dare not give you any advice," Zhao Chengji said, "I just want to ask, when you participated in the performance of Princess Nianyun, did you understand what she did?"
Li Yushi looked at Zhao Chengji and said, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean."
"Princess Nianyun once helped the Dongling Army in Mobei, so you want to protect Princess Nianyun. I understand His Highness the Crown Prince's intention to protect you."
"You..." Zhao Chengji laughed angrily at this dull censor, "Yes, I do have some friendship with Princess Nianyun, and I want to protect Princess Nianyun, but..."
Zhao Chengji said, "What you just mentioned about Princess Nianyun doing in Mobei is just one of them..."
"Your Highness, no matter what Princess Nianyun did, first, or why she was so dissolute and gave birth to a child with an unknown father, if she is not punished, she cannot set an example for women in the world."
"Now people in the capital are talking about Princess Nianyun's lack of respect for women. The impact of this kind of thing is too huge. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Li Yushi, it seems that you only know that Princess Nianyun helped the Dongling Army, right?"
At this time, the sixth prince Zhao Chengli, who had always avoided confrontation with Zhao Chengji in the court, stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have been listening here for half a day, and I really don't know what the use is of saying this to Li Yushi."
"Princess Nianyun provided a lot of help when the Dongling Army fought against Fan Bang, but... shouldn't character and other things be separated?"
"Li Yushi was talking about Princess Nianyun's ridiculous behavior, not discussing her achievements!"
Since Zhao Chengji usurped the crown prince's position, the third prince and the sixth prince have stopped fighting among themselves.
How could the two of them continue to fight each other if they could take away their crown prince position right under their noses and without any support from their family background.
The Third Prince missed a move. When he did not concentrate the strength of his mother clan to counterattack Zhao Chengji, Zhao Chengji managed to send him to the south to control the flood.
The sixth prince chose to unite with the courtiers while hiding in the dark to recharge his batteries. Just waiting for Zhao Chengji to make a mistake, he would pounce out and bite him.
No, this opportunity has come.
Ever since the emperor gave Su Nianyun to the prince and Xiao Changfeng in the royal study, many people knew that Zhao Chengji loved Su Nianyun.
Therefore, as expected, Zhao Chengji came out to defend Su Nianyun, and Zhao Chengli also stood up.
"Brother Sixth Emperor..."
Zhao Chengji looked at Zhao Chengli and said, "It would be unfair to Princess Nianyun just to accuse her of being unruly women without her merits."
"Your Highness, Princess Nianyun is still a royal princess after all. She represents the face of the royal family. Li Yushi is right!"
The two princes Zhao Chengli and Zhao Chengji were at war with each other.
The court officials present understood clearly that this was not a discussion about what punishment should be given to Su Nianyun. This was clearly an internal fight between two people and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Emperor Tianqi sat on top of them and watched the two men's argument with cold eyes.
After a while, he looked at Xiao Changfeng.
"Xiao Changfeng, Nianyun is still your unmarried wife, what should you do?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Nianyun was born in Mobei. She grew up riding horses with her father and brother since elementary school. In addition, the marriage customs in Mobei are different from those in the capital..."
"I think the reason for today's farce is due to the different customs and concepts between the two places, not Princess Nianyun's fault!"
"Little Marquis Xiao, what you said is wrong. Princess Nianyun used to be from Mobei. But don't forget, she has been in the palace for three years."
Another Taoist official came forward and said, "So, Princess Nianyun should be considered a surname from the capital."
"After staying in the capital for so long, and marrying into a distinguished family from the capital's past, she should know these rules!"
"It's so easy to find a way to inflict a crime!"
Xiao Changfeng's face was cold, "You have been in Beijing for three years, and you want to change the living habits of a person who has been in the clan for more than ten years?"
"Let me ask this sir..."
Xiao Changfeng saw that his face was not familiar and knew that he was a new official in the court.
"Looking at you, you've been in Beijing for at least four or five years. Have you forgotten something about your hometown?"
"Have you forgotten the soil, water and people who raised you, and the rules in your family?"
"I...of course..." The man was speechless and stuttered for a long time. In the end, he still didn't know how to refute Xiao Changfeng.
"And..." Xiao Changfeng turned to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance behind him.
"Master Shangshu, don't you have anything to say to the Emperor and your lords today?"
The Minister of Household Affairs was a man of extraordinary talent. When he saw the dispute between the two factions of the two princes, he naturally wanted to protect himself and not get involved.
But he wanted to be quiet, and obviously Xiao Changfeng wouldn't give him this chance.
As a last resort, he stood up.
The emperor looked at him curiously, "Hubu, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, this matter should have been reported to the Emperor earlier, but due to the recent flooding issues in the south..."
