The news that Princess Changding was punished to kneel outside Zichen Hall soon reached Wuge.
After Zhao Shuao heard this, he stroked his beard and pondered for a long time.
No one knows better than him why the emperor punished His Highness by kneeling down.
His Highness Chang Ding knelt down not because of herself, but because of the soldiers of the Wuge and the army of the country.
Immediately, he called the deputy pavilion master Zheng Qiong and gave detailed instructions.
Finally, he said: "You can go ahead without any worries. Just tell the truth about His Highness Chang Ding being punished to kneel."
Zheng Qiong was shocked and couldn't help blurting out: "Pavilion Master, this... Pavilion Master, please think twice!"
Of course he knew why Princess Changding was punished to kneel, and he admired His Highness Changding's high righteousness.
However, he also knew better what it meant to tell Wu Ge the truth.
The master of the pavilion wants to use the soldiers of the pavilion to intimidate the emperor!
The emperor even punished his beloved Princess Changding in this way, which shows the degree of resistance in the emperor's mind about this matter.
It is hard to say what this move will bring to the Pavilion Master himself, but will it really help His Highness Changding?
"Zhong Ju, you must know that even though the wind and snow are cold, there are still people who are willing to pay. Your Highness has done what she can do, so we must do what we can do.".Ь.
This move, of course, cannot eliminate the anger in the emperor's heart, nor can it exempt the emperor from punishing His Highness, but it can make what His Highness does valuable.
It's not that he used the martial arts pavilion to coerce the emperor, but... justice is in the heart of the people!
Zheng Qiong was silent for a moment, then replied: "Yes, Pavilion Master, I understand."
Zheng Qiong is the deputy head of the Wuge. Although he looks weak and simple, he is actually deep-minded and his methods...are also powerful.
Among the two deputy pavilion masters, he is far superior to Zhou Yucheng in terms of his familiarity and control over the martial arts pavilion.
Under his operation, in just one or two hours, the news that His Highness Chang Ding angered the emperor because he wanted to disclose the records of the leader of the Wuge spread throughout the Wuge.
When the news spread to various martial arts fields, the martial arts soldiers who were training stopped.
Was His Highness punished by the Emperor to kneel down for this? Is it for this?
"Your Highness, is it for us?"
"Your Highness has us in mind..."
"The leader's record, will we really see it one day?"
"Do you know? Your Highness, she..." For a time, various words spread in various martial arts fields, and from these martial arts fields, they reached the court.
When the court officials learned this, they couldn't help but fell silent.
As court officials, they were certainly more informed than the Wuge soldiers, but in this matter, they were obviously not.
They knew that Princess Changding was made to kneel by the emperor, but they didn't know why Princess Changding angered the emperor.
The court officials are speculating whether it is because of the incident involving Shannanwei General Ling Hanxiao.
After all, Ling Hanxiao was on trial, and he shouted that he was unjustly accused, saying that this was a trap set up by His Highness Chang Ding, and that the disaster of bandits on Shannan Road was because of the Jiang family in Tao Zhuxiang.
When Sansi heard what Ling Hanxiao said, his head was pounding.
Under normal circumstances, if Ling Hanxiao confessed like this, the Jiang family or Princess Changding would have to file a memorial to defend herself.
But no one from the Jiang family is an official in the government!
Princess Changding never held any official position in the court!
This...if the emperor hadn't specially summoned them, they wouldn't even be qualified to appear in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Under such circumstances, how could they file a memorial to defend themselves?
The court officials thought that the emperor was angry because of Ling Hanxiao's confession. How could they have imagined that it was because of the leader's record?
His Highness Changding requested the emperor to disclose the records of the leaders, but the emperor refused, so he punished His Highness Changding. This...
The court officials were stunned and didn't know how to react.
What shocked them was not the truth about the emperor's punishment, but the rumors coming from Wuge.
This...it's obviously Wu Ge who is spreading these messages. These messages are
I am pleading for His Highness Changding.
In other words, Wuge is using public opinion to threaten him!
What's more, he is stepping on the emperor to win fame for His Highness Chang Ding!
How dare this...Wuge?
Zhao Shuao is too bold!
The court officials didn't know whether to admire Zhao Shuao or sympathize with his reckless behavior.
At this moment, Zhao Shuao knelt in the Zichen Hall, kowtowed to Emperor Yongning and said, "Your Majesty, I instigated His Highness Chang Ding to do this. Please punish me!"
Emperor Yongning looked at Zhao Shuao intently and found that he could only see the top of his head.
It's like he couldn't see Chang Ding's expression before.
However, he did not make Zhao Shuao raise his head at this moment.
Because even if he didn't see Zhao Shuao's appearance, he could still imagine what the other person's expression looked like.
It must be a powerful and unyielding appearance, and it must be exactly the same as the previous Chang Ding.
Emperor Yongning suddenly smiled: "Zhao Shuao, you did a good job! It's my fault that I dare to love you. I am a foolish king, so I would do such a thing!"
Zhao Shuao leaned down deeply and was speechless.
"I really don't understand, why are you so bold? Are you stepping on me to establish your reputation? Zhao Shuao, Zhao Shuao, how many lives do you have? Or...how many clans in the Zhao family can be suppressed?"
Emperor Yongning was not actually angry. When he learned about the movement in Wuge, he was only extremely confused but not filled with surging anger.
Chang Ding was her daughter, and she had always been pampered. She didn't know what the world was like after a trip to Shannan Road, and she was still said to be young and ignorant when she asked for the disclosure of leader records.
But what about Zhao Shuao?
As a retired general in the army, would you not know what it means to disclose the records of leaders? Do you know what the news from Wuge means?
He was really puzzled: "I really want to know, are you trying to help Changding? Or are you trying to kill Changding?"
Otherwise, how could there be such ridiculous behavior?
"Your Majesty, I just want the soldiers in the army to make progress. My love for the Emperor is as clear as the sun and the moon." Zhao Shuao lay on the ground and said hoarsely. Xiu Shuzhu
These words were really ridiculous to the ears of Emperor Yongning.
"Your Majesty, when I took office as the head of the Wuge Pavilion, I promised the Emperor that I would create a brave division and a mighty army for the Emperor and the country. I dare not or forget this!"
He slowly raised his head and finally revealed his face. Tears were already streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, I once asked you to use the power of the martial arts pavilion to shake the hearts of the soldiers. Your Majesty, this is your army and these are your soldiers. How can you... how can you bear to let the leader's records be buried in dust? I... dare not... Don’t advise me!”
Even if you die, why regret it?
Emperor Yongning looked at Zhao Shuao's tears and suddenly felt extremely tired.
It's just a leader's record. Zhao Shuao would rather die than make it public? It also involves Changding!
At the same time, in the Taifu Mansion, Master Peach Blossom Wei Yan lowered her head slightly and said, "Sir, His Highness is waiting for you."
