Unexpectedly, Du Xueqing dared to question the emperor in front of everyone. This was really courageous.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "What if I investigate? What if I don't?"
Du Xueqing said: "I asked whether to pursue the case or not. You only need to answer yes or no."
Hiss! Everyone took a breath of cold air.
I thought Du Xueqing was very courageous at first, but now it seems that she is not only very courageous, but also extremely bold.
Does this mean you don’t want to live?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanqing was not angry: "I am the emperor and your father. It is okay for me to ask you this. Do you think it is appropriate for you to ask me this?"
Du Xueqing said: "Then, father, do you preside over the court meeting to judge the conflicts between me and Sixty-Two and the others for a fair and just and well-founded result, or do you want to show that you are the emperor and have boundless power?
What if it’s okay?”
After saying these words, the hall became so quiet.
The royal family remained silent, looking down at their toes, not daring to look at Emperor Xuan Qing's face.
Emperor Xuanqing said nothing and looked at Du Xueqing with neither sadness nor joy, not knowing what he was thinking.
anger?
Awkward?
Cold?
Du Xueqing looked back at him with a pair of autumn eyes, equally neither sad nor happy.
In fact, this was the look in Chen Hao's eyes, and it was Chen Hao who was speaking just now.
In her mind, the real Eighty-sixth Princess was already trembling with fear.
"Xiao Haozi, you want to kill me. You dare to talk to your father like this. Are you tired of living?"
Chen Hao said: "Your Highness, please be patient. Everything is under the control of my subordinates."
The Eighty-sixth Princess said angrily: "You have no control. You don't know how powerful and powerful my father is. If he is angry, you and I will die without a burial place!"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Your Highness, why don't we make a bet? I guarantee that not only will the emperor not do anything to you, but you will also get huge benefits.
If I win, you have to give me some benefits."
The Eighty-sixth Princess felt a little relieved when she heard what he said, but her anger remained: "What if you lose?"
Chen Haodao: "Of course we will be finished together. You can't run away, and I certainly can't run away, so will I risk my life and defy the emperor in front of him?
Naturally, we are confident. Now that we have reached this point, we can only continue to go forward, so you should listen to your subordinates, it must be right."
Princess Eighty-Six was helpless: "I really listened to your nonsense and boarded your pirate ship. It was too late to think about it."
After a long while, Emperor Xuan Qing suddenly smiled: "Well said! Very good!"
He clapped his hands loudly.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at this scene in surprise.
Eighty-six defied the emperor in public, and the emperor actually applauded?
what's the situation?
For a moment, they were all a little confused.
Chen Hao controlled Du Xueqing and said: Thank you father for the compliment."
Emperor Xuanqing said slowly: "What you said makes perfect sense. I came to the court not to show how powerful I am as an emperor and how majestic I am as a father, but as a judge to judge the conflicts between you.
To make the right person feel right and let the wrong person be punished, it must be fair, just and open. If I only pursue you and not Sixty-Two, wouldn’t it be a double standard, no distinction between black and white, no understanding of right and wrong, and a coward?"
Chen Haodao: "Father, your words are serious."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "But don't be too happy. What you said makes sense, and I admit it, but I won't be reasonable today.
I just want to pursue you only and not Sixty-Two, what should you do?"
He waved his hand: "You just said that the emperor's power is boundless, so even if I am unreasonable, who dares to say no to me?"
Everyone was silent, everyone's eyes were blank.
They really didn't understand what the emperor meant.
Do you pursue the Eighty-sixth Princess over every trivial matter to avoid favoring each other?
However, Princess Eighty-Six retorted, and praised Eighty-Six for what she said was right and well said, and she applauded.
Judging from this attitude, Princess Eighty-Six should have been let go, but immediately, she said that she did not intend to be reasonable and would continue to pursue Eighty-Six.
This repetition makes it difficult for people to understand the true attitude of Emperor Xuanqing.
Du Xueqing was not surprised and angry, and asked: "Excuse me, father, do you plan to be unreasonable at all, or are you going to be reasonable at all?"
Emperor Xuanqing became interested: "How do you say this?"
Du Xueqing said: "If the father is not unreasonable at all, then there is no need to say more, just let people take down the son.
As for why, it’s because you want to pursue me. Without a reason, anything I say is useless unless I can beat you, but I can’t beat the problem, so I can only tie my hands."
"If you are going to be reasonable, then it depends on what kind of reasoning you are trying to make. If you want to pursue me for the crime of making a mistake, you must first prove that I did make a mistake. If I did not make a mistake, then even if you are the emperor, you cannot pursue me."
"So, I would like to ask my father, do you plan to be unreasonable at all, or are you going to be reasonable?"
Emperor Xuanqing smiled and said: "Interesting, interesting. Although I just said that I am unreasonable, but if it is like you said, I am not unreasonable at all, then why bother asking you anything? I can just ask someone to take you down."
Already.
Therefore, my attitude should be obvious, that is, I will only be unreasonable in dealing with the quarrels of you, Sixty-Two, and others.
If other people talk nonsense, I will not hold them accountable, but if you talk nonsense, I will have to hold you accountable. If you want to know why, that is because I like it and I am willing. Are you satisfied?"
Du Xueqing said: "I'm satisfied, as long as my father is not unreasonable at all. You just said that I was talking about incest between 62 and 173, and you want to hold me accountable for my blunder.
I want to tell my father that I didn’t make any boasts or make any mistakes. I have evidence that Sixty Two and One Seventy Three were incestuous.”
I'll go... As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"impossible!"
The sixty-two princes and the one-seventy-three princes were in the court tense, and they shouted without regard to the emperor's presence.
Emperor Xuanqing stretched out his hand and pressed it.
Everyone fell silent and the court became quiet.
Emperor Xuan Qing looked at Du Xueqing, the smile on his face slowly disappeared: "You said you have evidence?"
"yes."
Emperor Xuanqing said slowly: "I remember when I asked you just now, you clearly said that there was no evidence and that it was a frame-up. Now you say that there is evidence. Are you deceiving me with your previous words?"
Du Xueqing said: "That's because Father, you didn't say that you have to be unreasonable. If you are reasonable, I won't be held accountable even if I say there is no evidence. One more thing is worse than one less thing."
"But since you say you are unreasonable, then I have to provide evidence to prove that I did not make a mistake, otherwise I will be held accountable by you?"
