Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 378; Quarrel

It seems that it is not easy to depose the prince.

Although he did not achieve his goal, Emperor Zhaowu was not upset at all. After all, he had already suspected the difficulty of this matter.

If it doesn’t work once, then try it next time.

Wen Ruo is still young now, and he only wants to depose the prince, not the prince's life, so he has to pay attention to the intensity of his methods.

It’s really a bit sad.

The emperor has already said this, and he must not continue to talk about deposing the prince.

Although the King of Qi and King Chu was unwilling, he also understood that if he continued to hold on, he would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.

The next court meeting is to discuss how to pacify the people of the world. The prince needs to write a letter of repentance and announce it to the world.

The prince did not refuse at all. After all, it was very good for him to keep his position as prince. It could even be said to be an unexpected surprise.

So it doesn’t matter what the confession is.

However, although he didn't care, Cao Guogong disagreed and said that although he was at fault for the crown prince Naisi, he was far from enough to write a letter of repentance.

The prince's letter of repentance is just like the emperor issuing an edict to sin against himself. This is not a good thing.

Even the emperor couldn't resist this thing. After all, if the sinner is punished, it will leave a heavy mark in the history books.

The twists and turns here can easily be overinterpreted.

The emperor is so afraid, where is the prince?

That is even more troublesome, and it is very easy to become the target of criticism from others. This is an obvious mistake.

The identity of the prince is inherently sensitive, and if there is such an obvious flaw, if someone takes advantage of it, the impact will continue to expand, and the prince's position will inevitably be lost.

"Your Majesty, I feel that someone is maliciously throwing dirty water on His Royal Highness."

As soon as Cao Guogong said these words, people from the original prince's faction also agreed and said that although His Highness the prince was at fault, the person behind it was the mastermind.

The prince made a mistake and can be punished, but the mastermind behind this cannot be let go. He must be investigated strictly and give an explanation to the people of the world.

"Hmph, you just talked about strict investigation, are you discussing strict investigation now?"

"What we are discussing now is how to calm people's hearts."

"Nowadays, many people in various places are making noises. Although they have not taken any extreme actions, if they are not given an explanation, how will they view the imperial court?"

"You said investigation, how long will it take? Three days, five days, ten days and a half month, or more?"

"Then during this period, if something happens anywhere, who among you will be responsible?"

King Qi stood up.

Although the prince escaped this time, it is absolutely impossible to escape unscathed like this. The matter of the letter of repentance must be settled.

This will be a sharp weapon used to criticize the prince in the future.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is right. Public opinion is boiling in many places in various places. It must be calmed down as soon as possible. If the delay continues, there may be another incident. Public opinion must be appeased first."

"As for the investigation of the people behind the scenes, we can conduct it together."

The ministers argued again. The princelings headed by Cao Guogong firmly disagreed with writing a letter of repentance. They believed that the prince had only made a small mistake and could be punished, but such punishment was too serious and should not be like this.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu also rarely united together to attack the prince. The purpose was that the prince must come forward to calm the boiling public opinion. There is also the last faction, which is Emperor Zhaowu, Duke Ji, and the noble nobles. They have no involvement in this matter.

They just listened quietly to the quarrel of the three brothers.

Emperor Zhaowu on the high platform looked at this scene with an ugly expression.

The three sons really would not stop until they killed each other.

"enough."

Emperor Zhaowu roared angrily, and all the ministers fell silent.

"How long has it been, and you still only care about quarreling? Now the public opinion outside is boiling, and you are still here quarreling over your own little thoughts."

"Why, the peace of the world is so insignificant in front of you?"

The emperor was furious, and the faces of the three factions changed drastically.

"Prince, so many people say that you should not be punished like this. What do you think?"

At this time, the prince had woken up from the ecstasy of retaining his position. He had also seen the quarrel between the ministers just now.

Cao Guogong and others argued so hard that he was not allowed to write a letter of repentance. He also knew what they were thinking and knew that he really could not write such a letter of repentance.

If you write this, it will be like putting a knife on your head, and your position will still be shaky.

When he heard the emperor's question, he was silent for a moment and came out and bowed down.

"Father, I have some selfish motives for targeting Princess Zhaode this time, but more importantly, I want our Yu Dynasty to gain a huge advantage in future wars with enemy countries."

"Some of the methods used are indeed bad. I will not shirk this point. I will accept whatever punishment my father wants."

"However, it is absolutely unjust to say that Erchen wanted to target the Hot Spring Villa Company. Erchen had no intention of doing anything to the Hot Spring Villa Company from the beginning to the end."

"So, it should be Erchen's fault, I admit it, but it is not Erchen's fault, I firmly deny it."

The resolute denial made Mr. Cao Guo's face smile.

It seems that this incident has made the prince grow up somewhat.

"Your Highness, this is not what you said. Although you have indeed done nothing to the Hot Spring Resort so far, there is no smoke without fire. So many people from all over the country have mentioned you by name. Even if you have not done anything, it is still because of you. ”

King Qi spoke again.

At this time, many neutral people also nodded secretly.

There is some truth in what he said, although the prince has not done anything overtly to the Hot Spring Villa Company.

But now that things have come out and everyone is naming the prince, there must be something wrong.

Especially now that there are riots happening all over the world, all caused by the prince, the prince should really be allowed to calm them down.

"Father, I have been wronged. I definitely have no bad intentions towards the Hot Spring Villa Company. My father can arrange for people to investigate. If the investigation reveals that I have a relationship with you, I will punish you at will."

When everyone heard what he said, they felt a little suspicious.

Although the prince is not very good, the most important thing in his life is his position as prince. Today, he took the initiative to request that the prince be deposed, which shocked many people. However, after being shocked, they all understood that this was the prince's retreat in order to advance.

But now the prince said something like this again. Although he did not explicitly say that he would be deposed, he was allowed to be punished casually. This can be regarded as a disguised use of the prince's position as a bet.

It is smart to retreat in order to advance once, but it is not to retreat in order to advance the second time. I'm afraid this matter really has nothing to do with the prince.
