The eldest son is fierce

The hall was suddenly in chaos, with the prince and nobles denouncing Tang Yi.

"Your Majesty, when did Dayan ever convict someone based solely on speculation?"

Even some civil officials could not stand it anymore and began to stand up and agree, helping the nobles and the prince to deal with Tang Yi.

Qi Wendao looked at the person who was speaking and was so angry that he almost spat at him. The person who was speaking was the Minister of Justice Lou Gong.

Lou Gong is not one of them, but an official who usually calls himself a clean official and is a representative of the clean officials.

Obviously, they wanted to fish in troubled waters, completely intensify the conflict, and make the emperor, the prime minister's party, and the prince's party completely fall out, so that they could profit from it.

The emperor and they fought to the death, and there would definitely be a lot of vacancies, which would be just enough for their people to come up.

Emperor Yanwen was suddenly overwhelmed by this scene. Although the two points Tang Yi mentioned made sense, they were indeed all speculations and lacked factual basis.

He said that the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guards disobeyed the imperial order, but he did not explicitly order the Liu family to be let off. These old thieves are nitpicking and playing rogue. What can you do with them?

They say the Second Division of the Imperial Guard defied imperial authority? Where's the evidence? Everyone in the Second Division of the Imperial Guard is dead, so there's no evidence.

Unless Liu Wen's daughter and concubine testify in person, but you just promised Liu Wen last night that you would not involve his family in the case...

"Tang Yi, I need real evidence, not guesswork or speculation."

Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi and said, "If you have real evidence, show it to us. Otherwise, you will be held accountable."

He gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, didn't you tell me last night that you wanted to launch a satisfying counterattack?"

Is this what you call a satisfying counterattack?

Tang Yi immediately gave Emperor Yanwen a reassuring look, and then looked at Lou Gong who had just spoken. Although this old guy had bad intentions, he had scored a big point.

Help him change the topic to the law!

Tang Yi gave Lou Gong a thumbs-up and said, "Minister Lou is indeed worthy of being the Minister of Justice. He hit the nail on the head. You're right. When we in Great Yan convict someone, we naturally can't rely solely on speculation."

"We in Dayan have laws and we abide by the law."

"This is the third point I want to make. Jinyiwei Division 2 knowingly broke the law and should be executed!"

After saying this, Tang Yi bowed deeply to Emperor Yanwen and said loudly: "Your Majesty did not implicate the Liu family, nor did he deprive the Liu family of their status. Therefore, Liu Wen's family is still the people of our Great Yan."

"As long as you are still a citizen of Great Yan, you will be protected by the laws of Great Yan."

"But everyone in the Jinyiwei Second Division, from Su Kuang on down, is knowingly breaking the law, attempting to use their positions to commit dirty deeds."

"They defy the laws of our Great Yan nation, treat our people as playthings, and scorn our Great Yan court, rubbing its face into the ground!"

"Such a disloyal, unkind, and unjust beast should be beheaded!"

The more Tang Yi spoke, the louder his voice became, almost instantly drowning out all the sounds in the hall.

Soon, the entire hall fell silent again.

The ministers who had just sworn that Tang Yi had run out of words and was at the end of his strength were now confused by Tang Yi's questioning.

What the hell? Law?!

Are there still laws in Da Yan? Are there still laws?

"Damn it, the law is what this bastard is after!"

Everyone was still stunned, but Qi Wendao was so sharp that he knew Tang Yi's purpose in an instant.

His eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at Tang Yi. This kid wanted to make laws in Kyoto and pave the way for taking office in Jingzhao Prefecture!

The laws, the laws of Dayan have long been broken by them.

Today in Kyoto, the law is controlled by these powerful people and aristocratic families.

As for the common people? Oh, they are just ants, what's the point of mentioning them?

The law is just to make the people serve them better.

But what if Tang Yi succeeds and establishes the law in Kyoto? The consequences will be disastrous.

By then, the people will surely support him. If Tang Yi attributes all the credit to Emperor Yanwen, the people will be grateful to him and regain their confidence in him.

That would shake their foundation in Kyoto!

This must not be allowed to happen.

"Law, good, good... My dear, you are truly a god!"

Emperor Yanwen almost jumped up, rushed down the hall, hugged Tang Yi and kissed him twice.

This boy understands my heart so well!

Now that the laws in Kyoto have collapsed, the people are complaining about the court. This is a source of worry for him, and now Tang Yi has come up with a drastic measure - legislation!

Haha, that’s right.

This is a truly satisfying counterattack.

Come on, continue, don't stop, let me feel your ability... Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi and said, "Hmm? What you said..."

"Your Majesty, I think what the Loyal and Brave Marquis said is absolutely right!"

Qi Wendao was not willing to give Emperor Yanwen and Tang Yi the chance to sing the same tune, so he immediately stepped forward to interrupt them.

He bowed deeply to Emperor Yanwen and said righteously, "Your Majesty, the second division of the Jinyiwei deserved death. The loyal and brave marquis killed them to eliminate harm for the people. He has done a great service and no fault."

"This old minister wishes to be the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and asks Your Majesty for a reward!"

Emperor Yanwen narrowed his eyes, uh, the old man finally reacted.

But it's a pity, it's too late.

You want to stop here. The idea is very good, but the reality is very bleak.

The prince and his followers, even your followers, have long been filled with hatred for Tang Yi. Do you want to stop? They won't stop.

Sure enough, the prince and a group of nobles looked at Qi Wendao with stiff heads, all of them were quite surprised.

Prince: "???"

Noble: “???”

Everyone almost couldn't help but curse, "Old man, did you drink fake wine?"

We were trying our best to kill Tang Yi up front, and not only did you not help, you actually pleaded for him?

You bunch of idiots, I'm saving you, don't be ungrateful... Qi Wendao kept winking and glaring, while emphasizing his tone: "Your Highness, my Lords, I believe you think so too, right?"

No one understood him.

The prince's face was gloomy, and a group of nobles were furious. Even Qi Wendao's party was successfully led astray by Tang Yi at this time and ignored Qi Wendao's words.

Save?

What the hell is this guarantee!

This bastard must be eliminated as soon as possible. Are we going to keep him here to continue disgusting people?

"As expected, Minister Qi is farsighted and understands my good intentions in destroying the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Tang Yi would never let Qi Wendao have his way. He immediately put his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, and said, "Your Majesty, since Minister Qi is asking for a reward for me, then please give me the ten thousand acres of fertile land outside the East City!"

When the prince and a group of nobles heard this, they became anxious.

"Father, Liu Yurou and the others are nothing more than the wives of criminal officials."

The Crown Prince immediately stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Yanwen, and said, "The Jinyiwei Division 2 are descendants of nobles and are the emperor's personal guards. How can we allow Tang Yi to kill them at will?"

"So, I cannot agree with what Minister Qi said!"

"Tang Yi has made great contributions, but I dare not agree with him!"

Qi Wendao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I tried my best to stop you, but I couldn’t stop you from seeking death!
