"Your Majesty, I am polite to you." Empress Lu bowed slightly and saluted.
At this time, two people walked in behind him.
Li Changkong took a quick look and found that he looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered it.
It happened to be the two women who appeared in the Imperial College that day. The slightly older one should be Prince Liu Yu's biological sister, Princess Huaiqing.
The younger one is the daughter of King Liu Gong of Zhongshan and the princess of Zhaoyang.
It seems that Princess Zhaoyang's status is indeed prominent, and she can enter and exit the palace at will.
"Father, Huaiqing is polite."
"Your Majesty, Zhaoyang is polite."
The two of them bowed and saluted at the same time, with the utmost standards, as if they were carved from the same mold as Queen Lu's movements.
"Why did the queen come here?"
As soon as Empress Lu came, the anger in Emperor Jing Xing's heart disappeared by seven or eight points, but he still had to show off.
"I heard that the prince was too ridiculous and actually took the Qianlong Camp soldiers to play in the East Palace."
"This is indeed my concubine's fault as a mother. However, this is a royal family matter, so it's best not to make your friends laugh at me."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing suddenly understood.
Li Changkong also secretly marveled at his speaking skills, how amazing he was!
I didn’t say it was Emperor Jing Xing’s fault. As an emperor, Emperor Jing Xing couldn’t make any mistakes! Even if he did, he would never admit his mistake in front of his ministers, otherwise, he would lose the majesty of the imperial court.
But Queen Lu wants to keep her son, what should she do?
Just take all the blame on yourself. You are full of civil and military officials, but it’s hard to be like me, a woman who is a woman.
In addition, it was also a secret reminder to Emperor Jing Xing that the prince was the crown prince after all, and his reputation was not good to begin with. If he was punished in front of many ministers, wouldn't his dignity be degraded again?
If he ascends the throne in the future, how can he be convinced by all the civil and military officials in the dynasty?
As soon as these words were spoken, and the anger in Emperor Jing Xing's heart was gone, there would be no further investigation.
As expected, as soon as he finished saying these words, Emperor Jing Xing nodded and said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a loving mother has many failed sons."
"Although the royal family is a bit special, the same principle applies. This time the prince was too ridiculous, so the queen took him back to Renshou Palace to discipline him."
This is a step, both for the royal family and the civil and military officials.
If you are a minister with some discernment, you will probably get off the donkey.
But there happens to be those who are short-sighted, or they do so on purpose.
Xie Jian stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."
"There is an old saying that if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the prince?"
"And I, Da Gan, govern the country according to the law. If I make mistakes, I will be punished. This is why Da Gan's laws and regulations came about."
"The prince is the crown prince, the symbol of a country!"
"If the prince makes a mistake today, your majesty can just let it go and deal with it hastily."
"In the future, if all the people in the world follow suit, what should we do? Aren't all the laws and regulations going to be in vain?"
"As time goes by, won't it mean that the divine weapon will become abnormal and the country will collapse?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing and Empress Lu's faces dropped.
Although Xie Jian was a direct minister, his words were indeed a bit too strong.
It was well known to everyone in the Qian Dynasty that the prince was playful and did not do his job properly.
But he can extend it to such a big crime as the malfunction of the divine weapon and the collapse of the country. What kind of peace of mind can he have?
But unfortunately, there is some truth in what he said.
If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
Otherwise, what is the meaning of Daqian regulations?
If a Dharma is performed on the prince today and he is not respected and spreads it, how will he convince the public?
How to give an explanation to the people?
Emperor Jing Xing felt a little regretful. He should have dealt with this matter privately instead of bringing all the civil and military officials to the East Palace.
Now, Xie Jian has been told to seize the opportunity and cannot get off the stage.
Mr. Xie, you really are not afraid of power and speak out for justice!
Not long after, the above remarks appeared in the crowd.
Although they were whispers, the main hall of the East Palace was so big, and the whispers of so many people were enough to reach Emperor Jing Xing's ears.
For a moment, his face became increasingly ugly.
Behind Empress Lu, Princess Huaiqing saw this, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, and she looked at Xie Jian with twinkling eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a voice coming from behind Liu Yu: "Your Majesty, you are wronged!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Li Changkong!
I was immediately confused, what kind of occasion is this? You are just a noble son, and you have the guts to speak out and accuse someone of injustice even though you have done something wrong?
It's really... audacious!
"Unjustly accused? Where is the injustice?" For some reason, Emperor Jing Xing's impression of Li Changkong suddenly became a little better, at least he was not as disgusted as he was with the prince.
Probably because of Li Changkong's poem just now.
It really spoke to his heart.
This also made him realize that Li Changkong was a man of real talent and learning, but he just went astray. But as long as you correct yourself well, you may not be unable to become a national pillar.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the young man's complaint, he was willing to give him a chance.
"Your Majesty, this gentleman keeps claiming that the prince is ridiculous, playing around in the East Palace all day long, and not doing his job properly." Li Changkong pointed at Xie Jian and said word by word: "But I think this is not the case! ",
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's hard work over the past few days has been witnessed by all of us."
"I'm afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince is now worthy of being recognized. He has been recognized for three days and is impressed by his admiration."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Even Empress Lu, who cared most about her son, was a little tired.
He knew that this noble son might want to say good things for the prince, but wasn't this... wasn't this lying with open eyes?
As a mother, she knew very well who the prince was. Apart from studying military tactics and strategies, she could not learn anything else.
"Young kid, you can only confuse right and wrong and distort the facts. It's really nonsense!" Xie Jian couldn't bear it, so he stood up and angrily scolded Li Changkong.
He immediately received a burst of applause from the crowd.
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth.
He knew what Lao Li was thinking, but this old man named Xie was really difficult to deal with, and he didn't understand the principle of being merciful and lenient at all.
Li Changkong indeed turned a deaf ear and directly ignored Xie's remonstrance and said to Emperor Jing Xing: "Whether what Wei Chen said is true or not, your Majesty will know after a test."
"How to try?"
"Of course it's His Royal Highness the Prince of the Examination School."
When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he nodded. This was a good way to avoid the problem. He would give a more simple question later. As long as the traitor could say a few sentences and get out of his head, he would pass.
Li Changkong is quite quick-witted.
"In the past, those who lost people's hearts were focused on profit; today, those who lost people's hearts were focused on fame. If someone loses people's hearts, they are focused on profit. If I use profit to enrich it and name it to be beautiful, then both public and private interests will be destroyed. And the world is in order.”
"What's the explanation?"
Emperor Jing Xing looked at Liu Yu with expectation in his eyes.
