The eldest son is fierce

In an instant, the entire hall exploded on the spot like water dripping into a frying pan!

"Arrogant! You kill people and still dare to act so confidently."

"Your Majesty, this beast's crime is unforgivable. His entire clan should be executed."

"He is so arrogant! Too arrogant! If Your Majesty lets him off easily, this old minister will surely be drenched in blood in this palace."

"..."

A group of nobles were furious and wanted to get up and tear Tang Yi to pieces.

Even a group of civil officials headed by Qi Wendao were gritting their teeth at this time, otherwise they would be doomed!

Why would we protect such a rampant thief? Is he disgusting?

"How dare you! You killed the son of a noble family, and you still deserve credit for it, right?"

Emperor Yanwen slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Well, tell me, how can you be considered a meritorious official for killing the sons of nobles?"

"If you can't explain it, I'll chop... I'll take care of you!"

I'd rather chop off your head than lose it.

You bastard, look how good I am to you. You disobey me so much that I can't bear to chop you into pieces!

Little did he know that Tang Yi was waiting for such an opportunity.

He deliberately made such a big fuss, all to pave the way for a big event.

One that can pave the way for hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto to have a secure and better life.

That is - legislation!

Since he is to be the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, laws must be established so that the capital has laws to follow, laws must be followed, and those who break the law must be punished.

Otherwise, even if he went to Jingzhao Prefecture, he would be constrained in every way and would not be able to let go and do his best.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Yi went over his thoughts in his mind. When he raised his head again, only determination and decisiveness remained on his face.

"I killed the second division of the Jinyiwei because they deserved to die!"

Tang Yi raised three fingers and said, "There are three reasons. First, the Jinyiwei Second Division disobeyed the order."

"Your Majesty's order was to confiscate only the property, without implicating anyone involved. However, the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard disobeyed the order and used force on the women of the Liu family, attempting to defile them in public. This is disobeying the order."

"At the same time, I have let down the kindness of Liu Wen's colleagues."

"I know that Your Majesty did not punish the Liu family as a whole. Firstly, Your Majesty is merciful, and secondly, it was the pleadings of Liu Wen's colleagues that saved the Liu family."

"By attacking Liu Wen's family, the Second Division of the Imperial Guards is ignoring the chance of survival that you, the Lords, have secured for them at the risk of your own lives."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwen's face twitched. Well, you know how to attract hatred.

This time, the prince has been badly betrayed by you.

Qi Wendao was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He really wanted to scold Tang Yi and tell him to shut up.

If he continues to talk, a war will break out between the nobles and the civil officials.

But he couldn't speak, because what Tang Yi said was all true!

Zhao Qing was furious when Tang Yi brought up the old matter again. He said, "His Majesty didn't issue a directive to let the Liu family go, so Zhao An and the others didn't disobey. Tang Yi, you're making a false accusation!"

Emperor Yanwen glanced at Zhao Qing and said, "Old man, are you trying to find words for me?"

This is the first time I have heard that my imperial edict can be interpreted in this way.

Facing Zhao Qing's angry rebuke, Tang Yi simply smiled faintly and said, "Okay, even if you say so, His Majesty didn't issue an explicit order, so they don't count as disobeying the order."

"They cannot escape the charge of blaspheming His Majesty and defying the Emperor's authority."

"This is what I want to talk about, the second crime of the Second Division of the Imperial Guard."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince could no longer sit still and pointed at Tang Yi, angrily shouting, "Lord Zhongyong, you are slandering and confusing right and wrong!"

"Confusing right and wrong? Then Your Highness, please listen carefully and see if I am confusing right and wrong."

Tang Yi bowed to Emperor Yanwen and said, "The Jinyiwei reports directly to Your Majesty. All orders from above and below are Your Majesty's orders and wishes. In other words, the Jinyiwei, to a certain extent, represents Your Majesty's will."

"Your Majesty ordered only the confiscation of property, not the imposition of additional charges. When the Second Division of the Imperial Guard saw that Liu Wen's daughter and concubine were beautiful, they wanted to forcibly possess them."

"Those who know that it was the Second Division of the Imperial Guard who acted on their own will think that this was an order from His Majesty to take action against the women of the Liu family!"

Emperor Yanwen was just about to listen to Tang Yi's twisted theories, but when he heard this, his face froze on the spot.

Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense!

The Crown Prince and a group of nobles all changed their expressions. If this is confirmed, it will be a capital crime!

However, how could Tang Yi let them go so easily?

He saluted Emperor Yanwen, then bowed to Qi Wendao and other ministers and said, "This is not the most serious thing. Everyone knows that Your Majesty did not implicate the Liu family because you all pleaded for mercy. Your Majesty gave you face and did not pursue the matter further."

"But if the Jinyiwei Division 2 succeeded and defiled the Liu family's women, they would have committed suicide one after another."

"By then, there will be no witnesses or physical evidence. Will you gentlemen think that this was ordered by His Majesty? If you gentlemen suspect that it was His Majesty's order, will you then be suspicious of His Majesty?"

"By then, everyone will think that Your Majesty is a hypocrite who says one thing in public and another in private."

"And without knowing it, Your Majesty has become the greatest villain. If that happens, discord between the ruler and his subjects will arise, directly endangering the country!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of a group of civil officials changed.

Although there is now discord between the emperor and his subjects, they still have to pretend to be loyal and patriotic, and the emperor has to pretend to be wise and benevolent.

But if they hadn't met Liu Yurou and learned the truth of the matter, what would they think if everything really happened as Tang Yi said?

They must be thinking the same as Tang Yi said!

Qi Wendao looked at Tang Yi, his old eyes had turned cold.

He always thought that Tang Jing and Liu Wen were too incompetent, as they were defeated by a young man in just a few moves.

But now, after seeing Tang Yi's mouth, Qi Wendao realized how difficult this guy was.

So far, what he said was entirely for the emperor's consideration, for their consideration, and for the country and the people, but he did not mention the grudge between him and the Second Department of the Embroidered Uniform Guard at all.

It was obvious that the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard attacked Liu Yurou in order to force him to take action so that they could kill him using the rules of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

He could have made excuses for all these, sought sympathy, and even been justified, but he never mentioned a word about it. Is this really something an eighteen-year-old boy could have?

This kid can't stay!

Absolutely can't stay!

Otherwise, it will definitely become a big headache for them!

The Crown Prince, Zhao Qing and other nobles turned pale after hearing Tang Yi's words.

After hearing what Tang Yi said, even they felt that the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard really deserved to die!

"Tang Yi, you are just speculating and confusing people."

The prince scolded on the spot, and he suddenly realized that they had been led by Tang Yi by the nose.

Tang Yi took complete control of the initiative, bringing them into Tang Yi's thoughts and thinking about the problem along the lines of Tang Yi's thoughts.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Tang Yi is bluffing and exaggerating."

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. I am loyal to you!"

"..."

Zhao Qing and other nobles also reacted and angrily rebuked him.

however.

They have been trapped and it is too late to escape.

Tang Yi stared at them and sneered, "Okay, the groundwork is almost done."

Then I’ll use my ultimate move!
