In the Yangxin Hall, the atmosphere condensed to freezing point.
Just when the two guards were about to take action, Ye Chanyi's eyes were cold and he said with dignity: "Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Ye Chanyi's whole body exuded a chilling pressure from the inside out. For a moment, the two guards were so frightened that they froze in place, forgetting Emperor Liwu's will.
Emperor Liwu didn't expect that a woman from the boudoir would dare to resist the decree, and he was extremely angry at the moment.
Just when he was about to issue an order again, Ye Chanyi took the first step and said, "Your Majesty, my servant has something to say. After I finish speaking, the Emperor wants to kill or behead him, please do as he pleases!"
When Ye Chanyi spoke, she was loud and fearless, without even frowning. Her reaction instantly aroused Emperor Liwu's curiosity.
Emperor Liwu was still angry and snorted coldly: "I want to see how you can quibble!"
"What I said just now was not intended to offend the emperor, but because I had doubts in my heart. It is clear that the emperor is the king of Dali and the ruler of the world."
When Ye Chanyi said this, he turned to look at Su Quan and the others, with a hint of mockery on his lips, and continued: "Why are you jumping up and down while waiting? Could it be that you think the emperor still has to listen to you and the three of you?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liwu glared at Su Quan and the others, showing dissatisfaction.
Su Quan and the others suddenly felt bad and quickly knelt down to defend themselves.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no disrespect towards you. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of the witch. This witch is simply framed by the minister!"
"Your Majesty, this witch is trying to sow discord! Don't listen to the slander!"
Ye Chanyi lowered his eyes and glanced at the three people who were eager to defend themselves, the mockery on his face became even stronger.
She sneered and said calmly: "Look, what I said is right. The emperor makes his own decisions. You three old guys have repeatedly blocked it. Are you questioning the emperor's ability to make decisions? You have repeatedly pointed fingers and influenced the emperor's thoughts. , Does it mean that the emperor still has to listen to you when he makes a decision? Who is the Emperor of Dali?"
Ye Chanyi's words were sharp and could not be argued with, especially the last sentence which was so shocking that it instantly reminded Emperor Liwu of the past when Su Quan and the others often influenced his decisions on government affairs.
All the events of the past suddenly came to mind, and Emperor Liwu's anger suddenly rose to the extreme.
Seeing that Emperor Liwu's face was getting worse and worse, Su Quan and the others opened their mouths to defend themselves. Unexpectedly, Emperor Liwu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Ye Chanyi, I will spare you the punishment of the rod for the time being."
At this point, Emperor Liwu paused for a moment, raised his voice, and said with great authority: "But you haven't entered the palace for a long time, and you insulted King Han, Princess Rong Ye, and Xue Wanying in the academy yesterday, and the restaurant slandered Ye Zhiyan for surrendering to the enemy and treason. , what's going on? If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I will punish you for several crimes and make you fall to the ground!"
Facing the pressure deliberately unleashed by Emperor Liwu, Ye Chanyi showed no fear and remained calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Back to the emperor, the reason why my daughter has been unable to enter the palace is actually because of an unexpected situation. The emperor must have also heard that my daughter is not favored in the palace. My daughter wanted to enter the palace, but she had to do it one after another. I couldn't find a carriage, and then I happened to meet His Royal Highness King Han, who kindly gave me a ride. However, the security of our Kyoto streets is simply unacceptable. Carts carrying goods are parked haphazardly, and items are thrown away wantonly, resulting in extremely poor road conditions. Bad. So the carriage was repeatedly blocked along the way, which caused my daughter to miss the time to enter the palace. Everything my daughter said is true. If the emperor doesn't believe it, there is no harm in checking. "
Emperor Liwu frowned slightly when he heard the mention of Xiao Yunhan, and there was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
"You entered the palace with the emperor's brother?"
"Back to the emperor, His Highness Prince Han happened to be entering the palace, so he gave me a ride." Ye Chanyi responded truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liwu nodded absently, with an obscure look flashing in his eyes.
Ye Chanyi observed secretly with his eyes, and then the corners of his lips curved with an unknown meaning.
The outside world said that Emperor Liwu took great care of his younger brother, King Han, but now it seems that is not the case.
Sure enough, the royal family affection can be somewhat true.
Ye Chanyi suppressed his thoughts, turned towards Su Quan and threw a flying knife.
Su Quan met Ye Chanyi's eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.
"Your Majesty, managing the order of Kyoto's markets and other public places has always been the responsibility of Kyoto's governor. On the way, I asked King Han for advice, and I found out that Mr. Liu, the current Kyoto governor, is actually the disciple of the Duke of Zhen. If it weren't for this Liu Your Excellency has managed the market in a mess, and your servants will not miss the mark. As a teacher, the Duke of Zhen Guo did not teach his disciples well. Shouldn't he also bear some responsibility?"
After Ye Chanyi finished what he said, Duke Zhen was so frightened that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat. He quickly yelled and argued: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I have been busy with government affairs recently. I haven't seen Mr. Liu for a long time. It's all my fault for neglecting supervision. I will definitely change it in the future."
Ye Chanyi smiled sarcastically, "I dare to ask the Duke of Zhen. Now that the Dali Kingdom is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no natural disasters or human disasters. The Duke of Zhen is so busy dealing with daily affairs that he has no time to do anything else. Isn't it so useless? some?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Quan felt the blood surge in his chest, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
"you you you……"
Su Quan was so angry that he pointed at Ye Chanyi. His whole body was shaking, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Emperor Liwu felt happy when he saw this.
Normally, an old man like Su Quan would often cause trouble for him due to his large number of disciples in the court, but now he was so angry with a female prostitute that he frequently lost his composure. It was so relieved.
"Prince Zhen Guo, I think what Ye Chanyi said is quite reasonable. You should reflect on it and set a good example for your disciples." Emperor Liwu, who was in a good mood at this moment, also spoke with a sense of irony.
"The emperor's lesson is for me to keep it in mind." Su Quan obeyed.
Then, Emperor Liwu looked at Ye Chanyi and gave her a look that said, "Go on."
Ye Chanyi understood the idea in his heart, and then opened his lips and said: "As we all know, Wuji Academy was founded by the founding emperor of Dali. At the beginning of the founding of the academy, he made a rule that all affairs of the academy should be handled by himself and no outsiders could interfere. In addition, the founding emperor might have I have been given some privileges as the dean, such as not having to kneel down when I see the emperor. I dare to ask the Duke of Zhen, General Wuwei, and the Marquis of Zhennan. Since you know that I am already the dean of Wuji Academy, you now ask me to bow to the emperor. The ceremony of kneeling and worshiping? Is it because you want to trap today's people for being unfilial? As the saying goes, rules cannot be abolished. If the old rules left by our ancestors for hundreds of years are broken here today, if they are spread in the future, the people who don't know the truth will still not know why. Arranging for the emperor, wouldn't it ruin the emperor's wise life?"
