Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1107: Change the World
In the street market, Ni Yuan and others took the opportunity to sneer at the Miao family. On the surface, they were scolding them for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and causing the prince to suffer, but in fact they were mocking Liu Zheng in a sarcastic way. The vendors and common people around them saw that the Miao family and others were blushing and speechless, and kept trying to escape, so they naturally believed that what Ni Yuan and others said was true.

For a time, many people began to change their previous views of Liu Zheng.

Ni Yuan pressed on: "Everyone knows that your Highness was originally a very intelligent person. Under the guidance of your Majesty and the Empress, he studied hard and practiced martial arts. He is a man of both civil and military talents, both wise and brave. He is wise and has inherited the ambition of Guangwu, and is benevolent and virtuous like the legacy of Emperor Gaozu."

He immediately changed the subject: "But why after the battle at Hulao Pass, after taking refuge in your home, did you become so reckless and rude, disobeying the imperial edict, disrespecting your father's orders, not abiding by the laws of the country, not understanding military discipline, being disloyal and unfilial, and killing innocent people? Could it be that you used some kind of magic on His Highness to confuse his mind, in an attempt to attach yourself to a powerful person and achieve your own glory?"

As he spoke, he kept staring at Miao Juan. His tone was aggressive and his eyes were ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone. Miao Juan was just a country girl and had never seen such a scene before. She was immediately frightened and turned pale, and hid behind her father.

But even when she was so scared, she trembled her lips and said, "You...you are talking nonsense...His Highness is not that kind of person...He...He is a good man!"

The merchant, whom Miao's father called Brother Qin, was still speaking for them.

"I think Brother Miao and his family are definitely not such despicable people. Look, this girl is so scared, but she didn't say a word to defend herself. She was only concerned about clarifying the matter for His Highness. It shows that she is a kind woman. Here..."

He seemed to be a little hesitant, and said hesitantly: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?" Ni Yuan's face was full of mockery. "Look at how guilty they are, how can it be a misunderstanding? Moreover, His Highness is the current crown prince, and is deeply loved by His Majesty. If there is no solid information, how dare I, a commoner, criticize him in public? Isn't this courting death?"

"Not bad……"

Other scholars around also echoed his words.

Before I knew it, there were some unfamiliar faces among the people around me.

These people were dressed like ordinary passers-by, but they seemed much more excited than other people.

They raised their arms high and shouted loudly, helping the scholars to boost morale.

One of them asked loudly, "Sir, if you make things difficult for the prince, aren't you afraid that he will use his power to blame you, or even harm you?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yuan held his head high with a righteous look.

"If it is beneficial to the country, I will not shy away from the axe. You have read the books of sages and naturally understand that as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, loyalty and filial piety should be the foundation of life. Since the eldest prince is a direct descendant of the royal family, he should put the country and the people first, uphold the teachings of the sages, be selfless and serve the public, and be loyal and brave to serve the country. If there is any immorality, everyone has the responsibility to correct it. Even if Your Highness wants to take revenge, I have a clear conscience, and my name will be remembered in history even if I die."

Ni Yuan was handsome, elegant, and righteous. He was also good at speaking and eloquent. His words were so righteous that many people admired him.

"Well said! You are truly a great man!"

"Don't worry, sir. If His Majesty really disobeyed the imperial edict, violated military discipline, and killed people without authorization, Your Majesty will be wise and will handle the matter impartially."

"Yes, yes. Even if Your Majesty is biased, we will go to the Supreme Court to petition together. If Your Majesty does not agree to severely punish the Crown Prince, we will not leave!"

"Defend national laws and military discipline to the death!"

"Defend national laws and military discipline to the death!"

The spies hidden among the onlookers shouted in unison, and the atmosphere became more and more heated. Many people and vendors couldn't help but start to shout along.

Ni Yuan raised a barely perceptible smile, and then he raised his arms and shouted: "Ni is willing to lead the way and go to the Court of the Supreme Court with you all! If the court wants to blame me, the blame will be mine, Ni Yuan alone!"

"You are truly righteous, sir!"

"Young Master Ni is a role model for Han scholars and a role model for all the people!" The spies spoke one after another, praising Ni Yuan like a saint reborn. The people looked at him with a little more respect and admiration.

The Miao family members looked at the excited crowd and became anxious. Although Miao's mother had a hot temper, she was completely at a loss at this moment.

"Oh my god... this... what should we do... what should we do... if His Majesty knew about this, he would skin us alive. It's over... it's all over now... there's no way we can survive..."

Miao Juan's eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at her father: "Dad, please think of a way to help the eldest prince... He... He is a good man... Wuuwuwu..."

Father Miao looked at the crowd marching towards the Supreme Court, and then gritted his teeth.

"Forget it. I'll risk it today. Your Majesty is a wise emperor. The eldest prince is extremely benevolent and has been very kind to us people. Today, we have implicated the eldest prince. Even if we have to sacrifice our own lives, we must help the eldest prince out of this predicament."

After saying that, he pulled his wife and said to his two children in a decisive tone, "Let's go to the Tingwei Mansion as well!"

In the Supreme Court, Zhong Yao and Lu Zhi walked out side by side from somewhere in the inner court, and both of them stretched at the same time.

"Huh... I am old after all. This kind of thing really cost me half my life."

Zhong Yao stretched his muscles and sighed.

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "You, you usually wear a long sword on your waist and keep horses in your house, but you are obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and are lazy about martial arts. You are obviously a few years younger than me, but your health is not as good as mine."

Zhong Yao glared at him unhappily: "How can I compare to you? You are a military commander."

Lu Zhi curled his lips in noncommittal, then looked towards the eaves of a palace in the imperial palace that appeared and disappeared not far away.

"Your Majesty is truly wise and intelligent. Such long-term planning, outstanding strategies, and unparalleled insights are rare in ancient and modern times."

Zhong Yao also said seriously: "Yes, when I arrested these people, I thought I would punish them and then release them. I didn't expect that Your Majesty had such a far-reaching intention."

Lu Zhi suddenly sighed: "Alas... It seems that His Majesty has long intended to deal with them. This time, the Wang family of Taiyuan and many other noble families are afraid that they will suffer again."

Suddenly, a cold snort came from behind: "Humph, these big families occupy the academy, dominate the local area, and monopolize paper books. They are already extremely evil. Now they are trying to manipulate public opinion, slander the prince, and intend to control the crown prince. They are plotting something illegal. Such dangerous villains and disloyal people should be severely punished according to the law of the country."

The two looked back and smiled helplessly: "Man Boning, Man Boning, His Majesty often said that you hate evil as much as your enemy and enforce the law as strictly as a mountain. You are the guardian of the laws of the Han Dynasty and a role model for officials all over the world. If all officials are really like you..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, they gave a bitter smile. Man Chong remained calm and replied righteously, "If this is really possible, the world will be peaceful and the Han Dynasty will last forever."

The two men had no intention of refutating him, and just as they were about to walk out, a yamen runner hurried over.

"Report..."

Zhong Yao shouted, "How can you be so panicked when Dean Lu is here?"

The bailiff panted and said, "Report to the court judge... There are many... many students and common people outside, coming... coming to cause trouble..."

The three people's faces changed, and after looking at each other, they ran out in a hurry.
