Faced with Su Yueli's questioning, Peng Yi felt somewhat guilty.
He was able to sit in the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice not because of any real ability, and he did not do anything that was beneficial to the court or the people.
He is even in a state of harmony most of the time, just because his brother-in-law is Zhang Shan, the Minister of Punishment!
So he felt that it was natural for him to take this position.
Not only him, many ministers have this situation.
It is said that when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, when good things happen, he naturally thinks of his own family first.
As for the emperor, as long as it is not particularly excessive, he will turn a blind eye.
But today, when Su Yueli questioned him in front of so many people, Peng Yi was still a little panicked.
Especially this woman's precise words, stern eyes, and fierce look. She was not easy to deal with at all, which made him feel even more unsure.
Her brother-in-law had suffered a loss from her just now. She wanted to vent her anger on her behalf, but she didn't want to make her angry.
However, he had been in the court for a few years, and he quickly calmed down. He hummed and said with a smile: "Everything I have done is recorded by the court, so there is no need to report it to the princess, right?"
"You don't have to tell me, but it doesn't mean you really did something, and it's not something you can rely on to talk about His Highness the Prince!"
"The prince went to the battlefield when he was a teenager, established borders, quelled wars and chaos, licked blood with his sword, and defended his family and country. But now he is cursed by the people he protects, saying, 'It would be better to die.' Haha, this is the sadness of the prince after all. , it’s still the sorrow of Dafeng Dynasty!”
Her voice was louder than her voice, her words were sharp, and no one was spared any face.
To outsiders, it sounded like she was blaming the minister, but in fact, all officials in the Dafeng Dynasty knew that this was clearly a sarcastic comment on the emperor.
Jun Ming's face was horribly gloomy.
If it were before, he would definitely not tolerate Su Yueli anymore, no matter whose daughter she was or how useful she was to him.
But she happened to... Jun Ming thought of Xie Qifanba again in his mind, and his teeth itched with anger.
Before Su Yueli spoke again, he said first: "That's enough! Let's talk about this later. Princess Chu Ning, regarding the marriage, I think it is necessary to think about it again."
Chu Ning was attracted by Su Yueli just now and had not yet recovered from her bold behavior. When she heard Jun Ming say this, she frowned. Just when she was about to say something, she heard Su Yueli chuckle softly, Then he turned around and faced Jun Ming.
"Your Majesty is wise, and I dare to express my thoughts."
Jun Ming looked at her half-smiling eyes, and his temples jumped.
"What do you want to say?"
Su Yueli said unceremoniously: "I didn't dare to say anything before because I was afraid of offending Long Yan. Now that the emperor has spoken, I have to say it."
Jun Mingxin said: Are you still afraid of offending Long Yan? Are you afraid that I will be angry to death?
Su Yueli didn't care what he thought, and then said: "As for Princess Chu Ning's desire to marry my husband, it's not that I have no objections, but I dare not have any objections. First, this matter is a marriage between the two countries. For important matters, the identity of the minister-in-law cannot be involved in politics; secondly..."
Su Yueli's eyes were filled with coldness, and she said in a cold voice: "My wife-in-law feels that it is really inappropriate to decide the major events of his life again and again before the prince wakes up."
"It would be fine if he was just an idle prince who did nothing. If he could bring about a century-old friendship between the two countries through marriage, that would be his blessing. But he is more than that. He is our Dafeng Dynasty's great military exploits and invincible warriors. The invincible Lord God of War.”
"The reason why he is unconscious is to protect the Dafeng Dynasty. The people can forget the prince's sacrifice, but the court cannot forget it! Your Majesty, let alone him!"
She spoke every word and looked at Jun Ming with burning eyes, which actually made people feel timid in a trance!
Realizing this, Jun Ming frowned, showing his imperial power, and said sternly: "Are you accusing me? You are so brave!"
Long Yan was angry, and the Changding Hall was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the breathing of other people. Only Su Yueli stood calmly in the middle, looking up at the person above, "It's not an accusation, it's a reminder!"
"The emperor is busy with everything, and sometimes he will inevitably forget some things. These things others dare not say, but as the wife of the prince, I must say it. If the emperor is unhappy because of this, I am willing to bear all the punishment!"
