Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 158; Quarrel

The prince nodded silently.

Seeing this, Shen Huan's voice immediately raised a few degrees and continued to ask, "Since you know it, do you still plead for them?"

"Do you want to make the Zheng family more and more powerful and become the dominant one in the court?"

"No, I don't think so, Gu"

The prince immediately became anxious, and sweat was already visible on his forehead.

However, Shen Huan did not listen to his sophistry, waved his hand to interrupt him, and continued; "The imperial power is supreme and no one can provoke him."

"As the prince, you should be the defender of the imperial power, but what have you done?"

"I know that your idea is nothing more than to take this opportunity to form a good relationship so that you can use your strength in the future."

The prince nodded repeatedly.

"But, have you ever thought about how you will check and balance the Zheng family if you let it continue to grow in the future after you succeed to the throne?"

"Now the Zheng family has begun not to take the imperial power seriously. You, the prince who should safeguard the imperial power the most, not only don't stop it, but let it go, and even opened the door for them."

"Do you want to change the fate of Yu Dynasty?"

These words were not unimportant, and the prince was so frightened that he fell down on his seat.

"No, Gu has never thought about it this way, Gu is just, just."

"You just want to win over the Zheng family, right?"

The prince nodded again.

"Stupid, do you know that nearly 80% of the people in the court have signed a letter to impeach the Zheng family?"

Hearing this, the prince was a little surprised, he really didn't know this.

"The Zheng family is powerful and has been suppressing other forces to strengthen itself over the years. Do you really think these people have no ideas?"

"Now that we have finally found an opportunity to suppress the Zheng family's power, naturally they will all come to an end."

"What about you? At this time, you went to the opposite side of the big guys to help the Zheng family. So what if you win over the Zheng family in the end?"

"In order to win over a force that has little respect for the imperial power, you have offended more than 80% of the civil and military personnel of the dynasty. What do you think?"

Shen Huan was really angry at this moment. He had been trying his best to teach the prince in the past few months.

As a result, he was taught such a thing. To be honest, he was really tired.

Mud can't support the wall, so that's it.

At this moment, the prince finally realized how stupid he was this time.

No wonder his father was furious, and no wonder his uncle looked so ugly.

He really made a bad move.

"It's time to say it. I have made it clear. I must have an idea of ​​what His Highness should do, so I will leave first."

Shen Huan stood up and bowed, then turned around and left.

If it weren't for the fact that this was his sister's only son, he really wouldn't be in the mood to worry so much.

Only after Shen Huan had left for a long time did the prince react. Looking at the empty study room, he had a Jinshi's bitter smile on his face.

What he originally thought was a good thing turned out to be just what he thought.

Looking at the memorial beside him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had a chance to make amends.

Then he began to write a memorial again. This time it was completely different from before. This time he also wrote an impeachment memorial. When Emperor Zhaowu received the memorial, he simply glanced at it without saying a word, got up and left the imperial study.

There will be a meeting the next day.

As soon as Gao Fu's singing ended, Duke Ji took the lead and stood up.

Seeing him stand up, everyone knew what was going on.

However, Duke Ji did not impeach him as soon as he came up. Instead, he apologized with shame, saying that he had failed to discipline him well, which caused Princess Zhaode to publicly beat Zheng Wengong, the imperial official.

Merit or demerit, Ji Guogong played this skill beautifully.

Don't impeach others first, accept the blame for yourself first, and directly eliminate some possible accidents. You must know that there are many officials of the Zheng family in this court.

People who want to use this to criticize will not find the opportunity. After all, people have already confessed their guilt, so why are you criticizing?

"What exactly happened?"

Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly and pretended to ask.

Many people curled their lips inwardly. The incident caused such a big fuss yesterday. If Emperor Zhaowu said he didn't know, it would be complete nonsense.

Then Ji Guogong told what happened in detail, without adding too much exaggeration, and he only told the version that everyone knew.

"My little girl was really angry, so she took action a little more violently. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out.

"Your Majesty, I feel that although Princess Zhaode's actions are wrong, the reason is still because Master Zheng Wengong's actions are even more inappropriate."

The person who stood up at this time was none other than the biggest troll in the Yu Dynasty, Meng Xuancheng.

"Princess Zhaode is the second-ranked noble of the current dynasty. Lord Zheng Wengong is only a third-ranked noble. He openly visited her and threatened to destroy her whole family with nonsense words. This is the following offense."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Old Man Meng said is right. This is Zheng Wengong's crime. Although it is wrong for Princess Zhaode to hit someone, if someone comes to her door looking for a beating, she can't be blamed."

Ning Guogong also stood up. As a pioneer among the military officers and nobles who resisted civil servants, he was never silent as long as it was related to civil servants.

Not to mention that this time, his good friend Huo Jingzhi was involved.

He had to stand up, especially when he heard what happened to Zheng Wengong yesterday, he was so happy that he almost moved his house down.

With the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, he had been irritated by the gentry and civil servants in recent years. Finally, how could he not be happy when he saw that the gentry and civil servants were defeated.

"Your Majesty, although Ning Guogong's words are a bit crude, they are to the point. Zheng Wengong and others are responsible for his crimes, and he cannot blame others."

Fang Qiao also stood up at this time.

As a son-in-law, Fang Qiao naturally had to support him. What's more, as one of Emperor Zhaowu's most trusted ministers, he was most aware of Emperor Zhaowu's deep hatred for the gentry.

Such a good opportunity must be taken advantage of.

After hearing that several important ministers had come forward to openly support Duke Ji, other lower-ranking people also came forward one after another.

But most of them are people who are good friends with these people.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhaowu did not rush to make a conclusion, but asked a question in a very democratic manner.

"You gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the Zheng family stood up and sternly attacked Princess Zhaode for being lawless, openly beating court officials, and using vicious methods. This was a provocation to the court, saying that it was dangerous and so on.

As the Zheng family members stepped forward, Ning Guogong's bad temper immediately exploded.

Pointing at the officials of the Zheng family, he retorted fiercely. While talking, he also revealed the dirty things that happened to the Zheng family in private.

The entire court turned into a mess. Although Emperor Zhaowu, who was sitting at the top, looked a little bit ugly, he did not say anything to stop it.
