The eldest son is fierce

With the crown prince taking the lead, Zhao Qing and other nobles immediately joined in.

The entire hall was noisy again.

Emperor Yanwen squinted his eyes and glanced at the prince, shaking his head slightly. Alas, this son is doomed.

In terms of age, he is seven or eight years older than Tang Yi, but why doesn't he have any of Tang Yi's methods and scheming?

Didn't you see that Tang Yi was deliberately trying to hook you? And you were foolishly fooled.

I dare not agree with it. Haha, by the time you agree, it will be too late... Emperor Yanwen was not in a hurry. He slowly took a sip of tea before looking at Tang Yi.

"Boy, did you hear that? What do you have to say?"

What is there to say? Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?

Or are all beings equal?

Tang Yi shook his head. He didn't want to rebel, nor did he want to be a monk who saved people from suffering. All he wanted was fairness.

Relatively fair!

Looking up at the Crown Prince, Tang Yi said calmly, "Your Highness, I beg to differ. So, according to Your Highness, the lives of nobles and nobles are lives, but the lives of ordinary people are not lives?"

Having said that, Tang Yi raised his hand and saluted Emperor Yanwen from a distance.

"The first rule of the Great Yan Law is that if the Emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people!"

"Even if Your Majesty breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. Why, does the Crown Prince think that those noble sons can surpass Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed. They couldn't bear the impact of this huge pot falling down.

Although Tang Yi was telling the truth, to them, ordinary people were just ants and could be crushed to death at will.

But such a thing cannot be admitted, let alone admitted in front of the emperor.

The emperor is punished the same as the common people when he breaks the law. This is just to demonstrate the majesty of the law. Who cares about it in normal times?

But now in front of the emperor, they have to care, otherwise it would be a slap in the emperor's face.

"Tang Yi, how dare you misinterpret my meaning? That's not what I meant. I..." The prince's face changed, he spoke incoherently, and tried his best to deny it.

He forgot that he had just sworn in front of the emperor that the Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was full of nobles, and that Liu Yurou and others were just the wives of convicted officials. How could they be compared with the sons of nobles?

Tang Yi raised a finger and shook it slightly at him to interrupt him.

"No, that's what you mean, Your Highness. As a man, you must be bold and daring."

Tang Yi didn't give them any face. He faced the ministers, took a few steps back, stared at them and said, "Not only the Crown Prince, but also you. You also mean the same thing, right?"

"Don't deny it, because the laws of Dayan have long been broken by you."

"In your eyes, you are the law, and you can do whatever you want."

He tapped his foot lightly on the ground and said, "Right now, in the entire capital, the law is a joke. If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty just like the common people. This is the biggest joke of all!"

Everyone's expression changed several times. You really dare to say anything!

At the same time, many people also realized that Tang Yi had found a breakthrough and was counterattacking them.

Many people looked at the Minister of Justice with angrily, "Are you satisfied? Why are you messing around and proposing such nonsense? You've let this guy take advantage of you, haven't you?"

The people of Lougong were also confused. That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to add fuel to the fire and intensify the conflict between you and Your Majesty so that I can benefit from it.

Tang Yi’s discussion of law was not my idea.

"Lord Zhongyong, you are exaggerating!"

Lou Gong was so sad that he could not even cry. What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? This is it.

But legal matters were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Now that Tang Yi had directly attacked the law, he, as the Minister of Justice, had to stand up and defend himself.

Lou Gong stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Yanwen, saying, "Your Majesty, the laws in Kyoto are now strict, the people live and work in peace, and all industries are prosperous."

"The Marquis of Zhongyong is exaggerating and trying to use the law to exonerate himself. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Qi Wendao was so furious that he wanted to slap Lou Gong twice.

Why did you add the last sentence?

He also immediately stepped out and added, "This old minister seconds my opinion. Kyoto is under the rule of the emperor, and under the rule of the emperor, there must be strict laws. Otherwise, how could the development of our Great Yan be so prosperous?"

"Lord of Loyalty and Bravery, you are exaggerating!"

Qi Wendao's voice was very heavy, especially the word "law", which was almost as loud as thunder.

With such a blatant reminder, many people understood it after thinking about it. Their faces changed drastically and their hearts beat like thunder.

Damn it, I was accidentally led into a pit by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi was not trying to survive from the beginning. He was setting a trap for all of them from the very beginning.

His goal is the law.

He wants to legislate for Kyoto.

Once the law is re-established in Kyoto, the people of Kyoto will be united by Tang Yi. What will the situation in Kyoto be like then?

They dare not think about it.

No, Tang Yi cannot go on any further. He must stop here.

"Your Majesty, the rule of law in Kyoto is strict, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There will absolutely be no such thing as favoritism or abuse of power. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is seriously wrong."

"Your Majesty, I believe my son's death was not unjust at all. He deserved death for daring to defy Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I will not sue you. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery did the right thing!"

"..."

In an instant, not only the civil officials changed their words, but even the group of nobles who wanted to kill Tang Yi just now changed their words.

Although their son and grandson died at Tang Yi's hands, making them want to tear him to pieces, if Tang Yi really made a law, their lives would be even more miserable than if their son had died.

Maybe even the other sons can't be saved. After all, if we investigate them, we will definitely find out.

"Your Majesty, my son was disrespectful to you and deserves death. I should thank the Loyal and Brave Marquis for ridding me of this evil."

Even Zhao Qing, who had been shouting the loudest just now, became dispirited at this time and admitted his mistake, not daring to confront Tang Yi anymore.

Only the prince had not realized the seriousness of the problem. He thought that everyone was frightened by Tang Yi and his face was ferocious with anger.

"Father, Tang Yi is teaching me that it was your fault. The Second Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard knowingly broke the law and they all deserve to die. Tang Yi is not only innocent of killing them, but has also been rewarded with merit."

"Your son is willing to give Tang Yi ten thousand acres of land in the West Mountain as a reward."

The prince's face was extremely ferocious, but he bowed to Emperor Yanwen and admitted his defeat, wanting to suppress the matter and not let Tang Yi continue speaking.

It can be said that they gave Tang Yi a lot of face. Not only did they not pursue the matter of him killing the son of a noble, but the prince also rewarded him with ten thousand acres of land in Xishan.

This left the group of people speechless and filled with hatred.

He originally wanted to kill Tang Yi, but ended up being defeated by Tang Yi instead.

--puff!

Emperor Yanwen looked at this funny scene and laughed out loud, but then he felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only turn his head and pretend to be choked, coughing continuously.

You see, I told you that by the time you dare to agree, it will be too late.

"Tang Yi, the ministers want to settle the matter peacefully. What do you say?"

Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi and said, "Are you trying to calm things down by taking advantage of the situation, or do you have other ideas?"

It's a matter of law, and that's a big deal.

Any move would affect the interests of countless people in Kyoto and even the entire Dayan.

He wanted to see what tricks Tang Yi would come up with for the Legislative Council!
