"Scoff!" Some officials couldn't help but let out a scoff, and then the hall began to buzz again.
Obviously, many officials did not believe the third prince's words at all. They felt that the third prince was making a death struggle.
Gu Chengyu lowered his head and raised his eyelids. Unexpectedly, the third prince even uttered curses and oaths in order to survive.
However, who in this world is not afraid of death? Especially since the third prince has a distinguished status, he may not have had enough of this good life!
In fact, all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony can understand the intention of the eldest prince, it is nothing more than to show his generosity!
Anyway, the third prince can't get any better. If the eldest prince steps on him again, it will appear to be cold-blooded and ruthless.
How about saying some kind words for the third prince to show his great mind and win the favor of everyone present.
Anyway, it is impossible for the emperor to spare the third prince lightly. Who can't be a good person?
"Father, in fact, the third brother was also confused for a moment. Besides, if all the stupid things he did were spread, wouldn't it be detrimental to the face of our royal family?"
The eldest prince thought for a while and said something that made the third prince feel happy.
"What do you mean? Do you mean to let the third child go?"
The emperor's voice suddenly became a little higher, startling all the ministers who were whispering among each other.
"Father! Although I sympathize with the third brother, I blame myself for not setting an example. But after all, the third brother made an unforgivable mistake. He committed a heinous crime by assassinating the prince. This matter affects the country, the country, and the country. I cannot
Dare to speak well."
The eldest prince did not observe the emperor's face, but cast his disappointed eyes on the third prince.
"Even if he was just impulsive and assassinated his son, he would not care about it, but what about the prince? What kind of crime is murdering the prince? Father! The country has national laws, and the family has family rules. You must not indulge your third brother like this, otherwise you will be punished in the future.
It will cause a catastrophe!"
The eldest prince looked helpless, then fell to his knees and said nothing.
The emperor sneered. He thought the boss had changed his mind just now! It turns out that those previous words were false. These few words were the boss's inner thoughts, right?
That's right! According to the boss's temperament, even if the third child is expelled from the clan, he won't give up.
I'm afraid at this moment, I just wish that the third child would be killed by him, so as to avoid future troubles, right?
The prince sighed helplessly when he saw this, "Father! The third brother's temper is really too cruel. Erchen also knows that he was confused for a moment, but if he is not punished severely, there is no guarantee that he will not be confused again in the future. Yierchen
In view of this, you still cannot be soft-hearted towards your third brother. This time you must control his temper to prevent him from causing even greater trouble in the future."
The prince felt very powerless. His father had been arguing with them for so long. Wasn't it because he felt compassion and didn't want to punish the third child severely?
It was only the third son's murder of the two princes, coupled with the bribes and property in the house, that put the father in a dilemma.
After pulling it back and forth, I'm afraid you feel it's hard to explain to the ministers, right?
Gu Chengyu felt like yawning and didn't know how long he would have to go on.
The emperor's intention is very obvious, he just wants to show some mercy to the third prince.
According to the laws of Dayan, murdering the prince is a serious crime of beheading.
The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, so the third prince should be executed according to the law.
But the third prince is a prince after all. No matter how cruel the emperor is, he will always be a little soft-hearted towards his own son.
Unless the third prince wants to usurp the throne, the emperor will not kill him.
Besides, this prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. It has always been said. How can he really follow this law?
It's a pity that the ministers today are very indifferent. Everyone wants to bring down the third prince, but no one intercedes for the third prince.
Since several ministers who were close to the third prince were already in prison, naturally no one dared to intercede.
Besides, what the third prince had done before had chilled the hearts of the officials who had originally taken refuge with the third prince.
These people have probably joined others a long time ago. If they don't step on them now, they will be completely benevolent and righteous.
"You are now the prince, and you should share my worries. I want to ask you what you think about your third brother. How do you plan to deal with it?"
The emperor couldn't bear to look at the third prince anymore. The third prince brought it upon himself.
His usually selfish and cold demeanor probably chilled everyone's heart, but at this moment, no one interceded for him.
The prince pondered for a moment, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Some officials were feeling contempt in their hearts. The emperor's move was simply embarrassment to the prince.
If the prince said he would be severely punished, how would the people spread the word?
They would only say that the prince's previous loyalty and kindness were all pretense, but in fact he was extremely ruthless. Why not take this opportunity to deal with the third prince?
But if the prince wants to protect his reputation and punish the third prince with small punishments and severe punishments, many officials in the government will never allow it.
If we just let it go, what will happen to the prince? The laws of Dayan have also become a decoration.
Not to mention that the prince himself was disgusted, but he was despised by others.
Even though other people came to bully him, the prince repeatedly gave in. With such a weak temper, how could he be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the king of a country in the future?
Anyway, no matter what you do, it is wrong. The emperor's move is like putting the prince on the fire!
Many ministers present saw the emperor's intention, and their thoughts became subtle.
Recall that two days after the emperor announced the second prince as the prince, he did not go to the Queen's Guangning Palace at all. Doesn't this prove that the emperor does not like this prince?
Did the emperor choose the second prince because of the queen? Maybe he was forced to choose the second prince because of the queen's threats to repay the favor.
After all, judging from the emperor's attitude towards the prince, this is very possible.
Logically speaking, if the prince was murdered by the third prince, the emperor should say nothing and punish the third prince severely.
But looking at the emperor's current appearance, it doesn't look like he really wants to make decisions for the prince.
Many officials present glanced back and forth between the emperor and the prince, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.
Other officials can see it, and Gu Chengyu is no exception.
After all, what the emperor did was too obvious and he didn't care about the prince's face at all.
"Father! According to the law, what the third brother did is even giving a glass of poisonous wine is not an exaggeration. Father, do you think what I said is right?"
The eldest prince smiled bitterly, saluted the emperor, and then said something that shocked the emperor and all the officials.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different expressions.
Some officials believed that the third prince brought it upon himself and deserved it.
However, some officials hold different opinions and believe that the prince's behavior is no different from that of the third prince. The prince's mind should not be so narrow-minded. How can he convince the public in the future?
Gu Chengyu sneered. He didn't expect that among these officials there was a virgin bitch!
If this happened to them, would they let go of the person who wanted to kill them and retaliate with kindness?
It's really easy to stand and talk without back pain. Anyway, if it were Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu would never let this person go.
However, in public, for the sake of reputation, he felt that it was not appropriate for the prince to do anything.
After all, there are thousands of ways to kill someone, so there’s no need to be more serious here, right?
