The eldest son is fierce

The ministers were so angry that they almost cursed, and Emperor Yanwen was obviously taking sides.

Tang Yi even took out a sky-high bomb and some hidden weapons, but the emperor just brushed it off without even a symbolic punishment.

If it were anyone else, they would have been chopped into pieces by the imperial guards by now!

"Your Majesty, you are going to give me that poor..."

Zhao Qing immediately jumped down from the pillar and ran forward crying, wanting to seek justice for his son.

However, Tang Yi's voice was louder than his and he interrupted him directly!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Tang Yi walked out directly and bowed to Emperor Yanwen, saying, "Your Majesty, I impeach the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They disobeyed the imperial order, showed no regard for the law, and attempted to publicly defile the female relatives of the criminal official Liu Wen."

"I have already executed them all according to the law, but most of the Jinyiwei and the second division are children of nobles."

"They did such abominable things, worse than pigs and dogs. Their fathers are guilty of not disciplining them properly."

"I implore Your Majesty to severely punish the families left behind by them to set things right."

The ministers had just come to their senses and were about to return to class when they were all stunned when they heard this.

Especially the Crown Prince and Zhao Qing and a group of nobles, they were all stunned at this moment.

You killed our son and our grandson, and we haven't even bothered you yet, yet you're turning the tables on us?

Even Emperor Yanwen's mouth twitched slightly. This bastard wanted to follow other people's paths and leave them with no way to go!

Of course, this is a good thing for Emperor Yanwen. What he needs is someone with strong adaptability who can make sense of you even if you are wrong.

If Tang Yi could only passively take a beating, he wouldn't value Tang Yi so much.

"Oh? Is this the case?"

Emperor Yanwen pretended to be very surprised, as if he had just learned the truth of the matter.

He looked at Zhao Qing, his face darkening slightly, and said, "Lord Zhao, what's going on?"

Don't you know what's going on? What are you pretending for? Zhao Qing was so angry that he was about to explode, but his face was full of sorrow. He cried and wailed, "Your Majesty, it's Tang Yi who is confusing right and wrong!"

"Your Majesty, Tang Yi killed everyone in the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and treated our noble sons like animals. Please, Your Majesty, help Old Chen."

Zhao Qing knelt in front of the hall, his head banging loudly.

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for my poor grandson."

"Your Majesty, Tang Yi killed my noble son. His crime is extremely heinous and he deserves death."

"Your Majesty, my father appeared in my dream last night, saying that my son died unjustly and asked Your Majesty to seek justice."

"..."

The group of nobles immediately ran up and knelt down to kowtow to Emperor Yanwen.

As for acting, you, Tang Yi, are not the only one who can act, we can do it too.

They even brought out their ancestors, who had shed blood for Dayan.

"Father, I also think that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has gone too far."

The Crown Prince also came out and said righteously, "Liu Wen is a traitor and has betrayed the trust of our father. He deserves to be labeled a criminal."

"The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal guards. When the Second Division of the Imperial Guards raided the property, they thought of Liu Wen's deception of my father and were enraged. I think it's okay to punish Liu Wen's family appropriately."

At this point, the prince's voice suddenly became harsh.

"But what about the Loyal and Brave Marquis? He killed them for such a trivial matter."

"What are the family members of a convicted official compared to the young marquises and young uncles of the Second Division?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Wendao and his group of civil officials turned pale as the bottom of a pot, looking extremely ugly.

What does it matter?!

In order to let Liu Wen keep the secret and protect the Liu family, this is our promise to Liu Wen. What do you think it means?

In order to protect Liu Wen's family, we had to give up our right to fight for the two vacant positions of Minister of Revenue and Vice Minister of Justice. What do you think that means?!

Emperor Yanwen stared at the righteous prince, his heart burning with anger, and he wanted to go down and slap him twice.

You call it nothing wrong to forcibly defile innocent women?

Do you know that during the Jingkang Incident, even your royal grandfather’s women were forced to serve those barbaric northern barbarians?

This is a great humiliation, what do you think it is?

As the crown prince of Dayan, you have actually forgotten this humiliating history and colluded with nobles to do such dirty things. How can I let you continue to be the crown prince?

Although Tang Yi was not surprised, he had carefully checked the information about the prince and knew what kind of person this guy was.

Tang Yi was not surprised by anything he did, but he was still angry when he heard such words coming from the mouth of a prince of the current dynasty.

As the prince finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.

Even Emperor Yanwen didn't say anything, he just stared at his son calmly.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was good friends with many of the noble sons of the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They died at the hands of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. The Crown Prince was overcome with grief and anger, and his speech was incoherent. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

In the end, it was Qi Wendao who stepped forward and argued for the prince.

Although he was dissatisfied with the prince's actions, the prince represented the interests of all of them. If the prince fell, all their plans and arrangements for more than ten years would be in vain.

However, in response to Qi Wendao's explanation, Crown Prince Xiao Cong flicked his sleeves and scolded him coldly.

"Minister Qi, I am very clear-headed!"

"Are the wives of a few convicted officials more worthy than the sons of noble families?"

"Tang Yi dared to kill nobles for a few women. Where is the face of the court? Where is the face of Your Majesty?"

He glared at Qi Wendao and warned him that the enemy now was Tang Yi, and he should stop putting the cart before the horse, old man.

Qi Wendao's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, don't be angry. It's not worth it, it's not worth it..."

Tang Yi walked forward considerately and patted Qi Wendao on the back, fearing that the old man would be really angry to death.

But Qi Wendao didn't appreciate it. He stared at Tang Yi with his old eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire.

Why are you pretending to be a good guy?

Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do? You're deliberately trying to provoke the Crown Prince's anger and cause a fight between us and the nobles.

Boy, you have such a vicious mind!

However, even though he knew all this, he couldn't get angry now. He couldn't make things clear in front of everyone, right?

And the idiot prince foolishly fell into Tang Yi's trap. He wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him from committing suicide!

Emperor Yanwen also suppressed his anger and looked at Tang Yi, who was helping Qi Wendao with his back, and said, "Tang Yi, murdering the son of a noble is a serious crime. Do you have any excuse?"

Tang Yi glanced at the prince, then at the noble who was kneeling on the ground and acting.

Then, he stepped forward, bowed heavily, and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent and have made meritorious contributions!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Yi in shock.

Even the group of nobles who showed off their acting skills forgot to cry and stared at Tang Yi with murderous intent.

You killed our sons and grandsons, and you thought you were right, right?!

Emperor Yanwen was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He didn't expect Tang Yi to say that.

You bastard, even if I am here to protect you, you still have to pretend and give all parties a way out.

Why are you so strong? Do you think I can be arrogant?
