I rely on gossip to save the country

The next plan to attack Dongguan State was thus decided.

The morning court was still going on, and everyone was discussing heatedly.

Xie Chuyue: [(System) **, I'm so bored, do you want to hear some gossip? ]

System: [Host, I am a serious system! But I can also accompany the host to entertain you, host, please speak! ]

Xie Chuyue: [The governor of Beijing, Lord Wei, likes to wear a bellyband. Are you shocked? ]

System: [Shocked!!! This system is even more shocked, host, how did you know? ]

Xie Chuyue: [Of course I went to his house and saw it. You know, if there is something wrong at an official's house, I will definitely be there.]

When Xie Chuyue said this, her tone was full of pride, as if she felt how great she was.

In an instant, the chirping sounds stopped and the silence was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The face of Lord Wei, the governor of the capital, had begun to turn red visibly from his cheeks to his ears.

When did the little princess go to his house? How did she know that I like to wear a bellyband? Moreover, she is not shy about this kind of thing and is not embarrassed at all.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials and the crown prince when they looked at Lord Wei changed. They didn't expect that Lord Wei would have such a hobby.

The capital's governor, Lord Wei, was looked at with strange eyes by everyone, giving him goose bumps all over his body. Why were they looking at him like that? Who doesn't have some little quirks?

Looking at his officers, he glared back at them one by one.

Emperor Mingde, the Crown Prince, and all the civil and military officials silently withdrew their gazes.

Xie Chuyue continued to say to the system: [Although this governor has a habit of wearing a bellyband, he is really a good official. He manages the security of the capital in an orderly manner. He is also very smooth and does not offend any forces, so he is very appreciated by my father. ]

System: [I can see that the official is a good official, and your emperor is also a good emperor, but he was targeted by the male protagonist, so he destroyed the country.]

The governor thought he had embarrassed himself in front of the whole capital, but when he suddenly heard the little princess praising him, he felt relieved that his efforts were finally noticed by someone. The slight embarrassment just now disappeared in an instant.

Here, Xie Chuyue explained to the system how she knew that the governor liked bellybands.

I don't know how the system feels, but everyone feels a mixture of bitterness and joy. The bitter part is that they don't know when it will be their turn, while the joy is that they know about the embarrassing things that happened to their arch-enemy.

The civil and military officials reported their own reports, while Xie Chuyue talked to the system about their own matters.

Because everyone couldn't hear the system's sound, they just thought that their little princess must have some serious illness and liked to talk to herself in her heart.

The civil and military officials listened to Xie Chuyue's thoughts and everyone's reports at the same time, and there was no more noise than before, because when they got angry, they would be amused by something Xie Chuyue said, and they really couldn't lose their temper, which led to an exceptionally good atmosphere in the court.

At this moment, the Dali Temple Minister stepped out and knelt on the ground with a look of indignation on his face, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"speak!"

“Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Grand Secretary, the nephew of the Admiral, and the son of the Duke of Rong, secretly murdered a poor student while studying at Tsinghua Academy and buried the body in the back of the academy. The method was extremely cruel. When I took over the case, it had been three days since the incident.

Your Majesty, when we entered the academy, all students were equal, but they relied on their status to kill innocent people and bullied poor students time and again. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter strictly and never tolerate it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. If a king breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. These children of noble families claim to be noble and consider human life as worthless. I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely!!"

Xie Chuyue was also attracted by this matter and began to listen carefully.

All the civil and military officials were also very angry when they heard this. What rebellious sons these three families raised!

After listening to what the Dali Temple Minister said, Emperor Mingde's face became worse and worse. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xie Chuyue: [** (System) If this happened in modern times, it would obviously be school bullying. Scum like them should be made to pay with their lives. What's wrong with poor students? Can poor students be bullied at will? Noble status, noble status, what's wrong with that? Does noble status mean you can treat human life as worthless? ]

Emperor Mingde was also very angry after hearing what his daughter was thinking. In terms of knowledge, these children of officials were nothing compared to those poor students.

Students from poor families have real talents, but they don’t. This is why he recruits students from poor families and establishes a college for them.

The emperor was furious and roared, "You bastards, how did you teach scum like them?"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Xie Chuyue, who was a little slow to react, said, "Father, calm down!"

Everyone…………

Xie Chuyue was speechless. [You guys can calm down my father just by yelling? How stupid! Also, if you want to calm down my father, you should come up with a solution. Why are you yelling so loudly? You scared me.]

The corners of the mouths of the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground twitched. If the emperor was angry, corpses would float for thousands of miles. How could they not be afraid? Only you were not afraid.

Emperor Mingde was just about to curse, and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he was stopped by his own daughter's rebuke.

The originally tense atmosphere completely dissipated after she said this.

She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. What she hated most was school bullying.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Secretary is the teacher of many students all over the world, the Admiral has also been dedicated to his duties, and Duke Rong also injured his leg while saving Your Majesty. Please show mercy to avoid hurting the feelings of the officials." Among them, Lord Li from the Imperial College, who was on good terms with the Grand Secretary, stepped forward and pleaded with the emperor.

When Lord Li said this, everyone's face changed, including the emperor's, whose face turned even darker.

Xie Chuyue was not afraid of offending anyone, she stood up immediately, facing the civil and military officials, and said sharply: "How dare you come to beg for mercy? If the one who died was one of your sons or grandsons, would you still beg for mercy so calmly? Do you still have a conscience?"

Then Xie Chuyue turned to the emperor and said,

"Father, scum like them must die. No one can plead for them. Father, you should be more resolute. How many people like them take advantage of their high positions and power to bully poor students?

Those people are waiting for the result. If we let these three people go, this kind of thing will get worse in the future. Only if we punish them severely this time will they stop because of fear. We also need to let them know that if you kill someone, you must pay with your life. "

The system silently agreed with Xie Chuyue's statement: [Whether in ancient times or modern times, the only bad thing is that when punishing a guilty person, one has to consider this and that, and some people even buy off connections to protect the guilty. This is simply a joke! ]

When the Grand Secretary, the Admiral, and the Duke of Rong heard what Xie Chuyue said, their faces suddenly changed, and they looked at Xie Chuyue with eyes full of resentment.

The others, on the other hand, relaxed a lot. It was as it should be. Their little princess was still able to distinguish right from wrong and was not completely useless.

The emperor also understood what Xie Chuyue meant, and he relaxed.

Duke Rong had only this one son. He looked at Xie Chuyue with resentment, but his eyes were blocked by the Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince beside him.

At this time, Xie Chuyue was still being complained about by those poor students.

"Father, this Nanyue Kingdom belongs to you, to the people of Nanyue, not to these ministers who receive high salaries but do nothing.

The country is in need of talented military generals right now. They are challenging my father's imperial power. I should punish them and avenge that student.

Let all the poor students know that the emperor is on their side. They should move forward bravely and strive to climb up. Behind them is the monarch of this country. They have nothing to fear. Emperor, you have to make the decision for them!"
