Many people in Kyoto City stayed up all night, and all the important officials knew about Sifang Mountain. Some remained silent, while others stayed up all night to write memorials. This was extremely disrespectful to the Eighth Prince.
There were also many official reports discussing the incident of Concubine Yuan Gui's collaborating with the enemy, and imploring the emperor to deal with it in accordance with national laws.
The morning court was extremely lively. Officials headed by Prime Minister Gao all said that it was an honor for Ye Qianning to die to save the eighth prince. As a court official and heir, it was natural for her to die for the royal family.
Yuan Yintang took the imperial order to search and rescue Sifang Mountain, and met the Eighth Prince and Qian Fanji and his party. It was not sure whether the Eighth Prince was being held hostage, so it was normal to take action.
Moreover, Qianjia has already had cases of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
It was normal for casualties to occur on the sword field. The Qian family, the Gu family, and the Zhan family surrounded and killed Yuan Yintang in public for a little baby. This move was another mockery of the royal family, and it was a serious crime.
Concubine Yuan Gui did not collude with Dongsi, but was bewitched by Princess Dongsi.
Another wave of officials and Prime Minister Gao had the opposite view. Concubine Yuan Gui did not like the general's lady, so she secretly asked Duke Yuan Yintang to avenge her private life and shoot the official's family members, which was already a serious crime.
Concubine Yuan Gui was not deceived. Concubine Yuan Gui set fire to Sifang Mountain because she wanted to silence everyone on the mountain.
The prisoner who set the fire has been taken into custody. After searching, several eunuchs and guards were found. The evidence that Concubine Yuan Gui committed the crime is conclusive. If such a vicious person is not dealt with, it will be unjust.
Emperor Beili said nothing during this period, watching this group of people arguing endlessly.
As the night passed, things became more and more out of control, and he still hadn't thought of a suitable solution.
The morning debate lasted from dawn to noon. During this period, all the officials learned that Dean Chen and Qianjia had renounced their nationality. They were shocked. When they learned that the lady of the General's Mansion was not allowed to be buried on Beili's land, all the officials were speechless.
Both those who objected and those who did not objected looked at Emperor Beili in shock. What happened?
The emperor actually issued such a vicious decree. Even the children were dead and not allowed to be laid to rest. Even Prime Minister Gao, who hated Ye Qianning, was speechless.
The indignant voice just now became quieter, and at this moment, I completely understood what it meant to be ruthless as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, Dean Chen is highly respected. Removing nationality is too hasty. Please think again, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, think twice."
Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials also reacted and knelt down one after another. Even the officials who had been shouting just knelt down.
"There is no room for maneuver in this matter. Bei Li Rong has to respect the emperor's orders." Emperor Bei Li was resolute and wanted to use this matter to warn everyone that imperial power is heaven.
"Your Majesty, what about Concubine Yuan Gui? The evidence is clear and the Emperor still refuses to deal with her. The Eighth Prince is still in charge of the Yin Yamen. Does the Emperor want to wait until he loses the support of the people?" The Minister of Dali Temple raised his head and spoke a little more indignantly.
"Dean Chen also had a life-saving grace for the emperor back then. Because of Concubine Yuan Gui's collusion with the enemy, the emperor removed the dean's nationality. Concubine Yuan Gui still sits back and relaxes. If the subordinate refuses to accept this punishment, please ask the emperor to treat her equally."
"Your Majesty, please treat everyone equally."
The people headed by Prime Minister Gao no longer defended themselves at this time, and in unison they begged the emperor for severe punishment.
Emperor Beili was silent. He watched the courtiers arguing below him all morning, and only occasionally spoke a word or two. After learning that Dean Chen had left the country, he was silent.
The attitudes of all the officials were visibly unified, which made Emperor Beili even more vigilant.
Eunuch Li came up from behind and secretly handed a note to Emperor Beili.
Emperor Beili took it over and opened it, with a gloomy expression on his face. Things had become so serious overnight.
