Princess of the auxiliary country

Most of the nobles in the court were well aware of Prince Xiao Zhihuan's recent performance and looked down upon his actions.

But as Zhao Guogong Shen Huan said, their relationship with the prince, the prince, is very delicate, and even if they don't like it, they are unlikely to stand up and say anything.

After all, they did not threaten themselves, and they also felt that the prince should understand the subtle relationship between them.

However, at this time, Duke Ji Huo Jingzhi's words were like a knife piercing their hearts.

Duke Ji Guo was one of the leaders among their group of nobles, and he was also the prince's uncle.

If the prince treats him like this, what will happen to these nobles?
What chilled their hearts the most was that the maid next to Princess Zhaode this time came to contribute to the court, which was regarded as a meritorious service. However, the prince ignored her and directly taught her a lesson. This made them feel alarmed.

Just when everyone had different thoughts, Prince Xiao Zhihuan arrived.

Everyone looked over and quickly saluted and said hello after a moment.

Huo Jingzhi also saluted with a very respectful expression.

That's right, they were extremely respectful, without any dissatisfaction or displeasure at all because of what happened yesterday.

As one of the founding fathers of the country, although these nobles would be polite and even respectful to the prince on weekdays, their expressions and attitudes would be more or less casual, but they had never been like this like Huo Jingzhi.

Although this is just a very small attitude, the meaning reflected is not small at all.

Who is Huo Jingzhi?He is a senior prince and the prince's biological uncle. As long as he doesn't neglect the prince too much, no one will say anything.

On the contrary, Huo Jingzhi's casualness can better reflect the closeness between him and the prince. After all, the relationship between the two families is very close.

But what is Huo Jingzhi doing now?
There is no randomness at all, it is full of respect from the ministers to the prince. Doesn't this mean that in Huo Jingzhi's eyes, the prince is just the prince, and they are just monarch and minister, without any other relationship?
It means that there is only a monarch-subordinate relationship between Duke Ji's palace and the prince, and there is no other relationship.

This is drawing a clear line.

Prince Xiao Zhihuan, although he sometimes did stupid things, was not stupid. When he saw Duke Ji like this, he understood what he meant.

He immediately remembered what his uncle Zhao Guogong said to him yesterday, and he felt a lot of regret in his heart.

"Uncle, why is this necessary?"

The prince was about to redeem himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Jingzhi.

"His Royal Highness, the king and his ministers are different. You call me uncle, and I am afraid."

After saying that, Huo Jingzhi spoke again with great respect, "Yesterday, a servant in the family rushed to His Highness the Crown Prince without knowing the etiquette. It was because I had failed to discipline him well. I have already taught that servant a lesson, and I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me."

Yes, we really need to draw a clear line.

The people around him glanced at the prince and sighed slightly in their hearts.

Ning Guogong curled his lips directly and looked at the prince with no trace of dissatisfaction.

While looking at the prince, he felt helpless and a little angry when he saw Huo Jingzhi acting like this.

Missing him as a dignified prince, I took the initiative to come to him to ease the relationship, but the other party was so shameless and disrespectful.

If that's the case, then so be it. What if there is no support from Duke Ji's government?There are still so many distinguished ministers in the Yu Dynasty, one more is not too much, and one less is not too many.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to press his hot face against his cold buttocks. He nodded solemnly, turned around and walked to the side to wait for the showdown.

Seeing him like this, many people frowned again.

There was no expression on Huo Jingzhi's face. He was still the same as he was just now.

Soon the door of the government hall opened, and Gao Fu's voice came out announcing his intention to go to court.

A group of civil and military ministers immediately arranged their clothes and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the political hall. "If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat from the court."

Gao Fu just finished speaking.

A gray-haired minister below stood up.

When everyone saw the person standing up, their pupils shrank, even Emperor Zhaowu on the dragon throne was no exception.

There's no way this person who came out at this time is a bit fierce.

Meng Xuancheng, Duke of Wei, was also the founding father of the Republic of China and is also the current leader of the Yushitai. He is also referred to as the chief troll, and he is the kind of person who can fight against anyone and not give him face.

If Huo Junyao knew about this person, she would definitely exclaim. Isn't this the "human mirror" Wei Zheng in her previous life in the early Tang Dynasty, a replica of Wei Zheng?

What kind of person is Mr. Wei?That's a ruthless person who can catch even the emperor squirting.

And Meng Xuancheng might as well give in a little more, otherwise why would even Emperor Zhaowu feel upset when he stood up?
Apparently, Meng Xuancheng was criticized a lot.

"I want to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as the sonorous and powerful voice came out, all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty and Emperor Zhaowu, who was already sitting on the dragon throne, secretly said that it was true.

What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did yesterday has already been spread.

If Meng Xuancheng doesn't impeach, then there's something wrong.

Although everyone had guessed that such a day would happen, Prince Xiao Zhihuan was an exception. At this time, he wanted to kill Meng Xuancheng.

Damn it, it’s already hard enough for you now, and you still come out to impeach me. Is it because the truth is driving you to death?
Fortunately, you are still serving in the East Palace. Why are your elbows still turned outward?

Although he was angry, he had no choice. When Emperor Zhaowu came to power, he made it clear that he would not punish crimes with words.

If someone wanted to impeach him, he could only listen.

"Why do you want to impeach the prince?"

Emperor Zhaowu asked calmly.

He was also very angry about what happened yesterday, and he hadn't punished the prince yet. He was thinking that someone would definitely impeach the prince today, and he would see how to punish him then.

"I impeach the crown prince for two crimes: immorality and inhumanity."

As soon as these words came out, those who had already guessed that the prince would definitely not be well off all had expressions on their faces.

Words like immoral and unkind are very serious, but they cannot be used indiscriminately, especially when used on the prince.

Didn’t Emperor Zhaowu regret it later when he issued the edict?

But when Meng Xuancheng spoke, Emperor Zhaowu was furious, but he had to hold back his anger and glared at the prince, who was already turning pale.

"I heard yesterday that His Highness the Crown Prince spent five thousand guan on the grounds that the Eastern Palace needed to replace the furniture."

He then explained that the current furniture in the East Palace is not damaged, and even if it is damaged, it can be replaced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no need to spend so much money on replacement.

"Nowadays, snow disasters are rampant in various parts of the Yu Dynasty, and the number of people affected by the disaster is unknown. As the prince of a country, he does not want to share the country's worries and worry about the people. Instead, he is extravagant and wasteful at this time, which is really unethical."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in their hearts. The court was short of money. Everyone knew that if Princess Zhaode had not come up with a good idea for this snow disaster, the court would not be able to provide money for disaster relief.

It is indeed inappropriate for the prince to spend [-] yuan to return furniture and furnishings at this time.
