The eldest son is fierce

The prince's gentle voice came from the city wall and spread throughout the place.

The people at the city gate all looked in the direction of the sound and saw the prince, dressed in luxurious clothes, standing at the battlement, looking at them with a gentle smile.

"This... is truly His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Many people were shocked at the time and cried out in surprise.

However, before they could finish their words, an angry shout was heard.

"So what if he's the Crown Prince? Not long ago, the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion killed someone and was reported to the authorities. The person who reported him died, and the county magistrate even ordered a few beauties from the brothel for the steward to calm him down."

"What's this? The prince's brother-in-law rode his horse on the street and killed more than a dozen people, and nothing happened. He didn't even get any compensation."

"What a bullshit prince! The prince is the biggest protector of the aristocratic families and officials in Kyoto."

"Don't believe him, he smiles gently, but he's actually a pervert..."

"..."

After hearing these words, the people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they immediately knelt on the ground.

What kind of talk is this? This is treasonous and punishable by death!

In the crowd, Ning Chuan, who was kneeling on the ground, pinched Xiao Di's lower back fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "We are following Tang Yi's plan to confuse the public, not to seek death!"

"We're just acting, can you please not be so stiff? Damn, have you ever seen any commoner dare to speak to the crown prince like that?"

Xiao Di gnashed his teeth in pain, but his face was full of dissatisfaction: "I just don't like him. Besides, we are wearing makeup, so no one will notice us."

Ning Chuan's eyes twitched. Was this a makeup problem? With your broken voice, anyone with a little heart would know it was you in a second!

Tang Yi asked us to assist in legislation. If the Crown Prince and his ministers knew that we were the water army that Tang Yi mentioned, it would be a big joke.

Being embarrassed will be a small matter, but ruining the plans of His Majesty and Tang Yi will be a big deal!

"Ningtou, if Tang Yi wants to legislate, he must catch a few examples. Otherwise, he won't be able to calm the situation, and it will be difficult to reassure the people of Kyoto."

Xiao Di glanced at the Crown Prince, whose smile gradually froze and whose eyes gleamed coldly, and said, "The Crown Prince's brother-in-law and the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion are typical examples!"

"Tang Yi joins Jingzhao Prefecture and eliminates the two of them. Only then will the people of Jingdu trust the government."

"And Tang Yi said that we are the disciplinary inspection department of Great Yan. Only when the Great Yan Law is established can we become truly powerful."

Ning Chuan stared at Xiao Di and said word by word, "Do I need you to teach me? I'm telling you to take it easy, or else we'll all die if we're exposed!"

Xiao Di gestured to show that he understood.

On the city wall, the prince looked at the scene downstairs, and his face instantly became hideous and distorted.

I am the crown prince, I am the crown prince of Dayan. Who gave you the courage to challenge me like this?

You are looking for death, looking for death!

Qi Wendao and a group of ministers were stunned by the exciting scene.

Although they had already guessed it, everyone was shocked when they saw the people under the city wall resisting the prince. This was completely beyond their expectations.

The steward of the Prince's Mansion committed murder, and the government is involved in covering it up?

The prince's brother-in-law killed someone on horseback? Kyoto has laws strictly prohibiting horse riding. So the prince's brother-in-law knowingly broke the law?

They don’t know these!

"Tsk tsk, it seems that even if the Crown Prince shows up personally, it won't be enough!"

Tang Yi smiled as he looked at Qi Wendao and other ministers and said, "Not only has this matter not been resolved, it has also caused public outrage. Not only has it caused public outrage, but it has also led to a murder case."

"My Lords, Kyoto truly has a strict system of laws and clean administration!"

Hearing Tang Yi's words, everyone's face darkened and they gnashed their teeth in anger.

This was how they mocked Tang Yi in the Zi Zheng Hall before, and now Tang Yi returned everything to them intact.

They wanted to refute and criticize Tang Yi to pieces in the Zi Zheng Hall, but looking at the indignant and angry people under the city wall, they were unable to say a word.

Facts speak louder than words!

It was at this moment that Qi Wendao and the prince finally understood the meaning of Tang Yi's words.

No investigation, no right to speak!

They have not investigated the people of Kyoto, and have no understanding of their situation. They still use theories such as "money makes the world go round" and "a big reward will always attract brave men".

Little did they know that the people of Kyoto’s trust in the government had long since approached zero!

Without trust, no one will believe you no matter how big your promise is.

Emperor Yanwen had actually recognized Xiao Di's voice and knew that this was a conspiracy set up by Tang Yi, Ning Chuan and his stupid son.

Now he also understood why Tang Yi did not tell him the plan last night. He was worried that he would not play the role of the emperor well and expose their plan.

As the emperor, when he heard that Tang Yi wanted to use a wooden stick to pry open the laws of Kyoto, he must have thought it was nonsense and refused in anger.

His first reaction was anger, which was exactly the rope that lured the ministers into the trap!

The more intense his reaction was, the more the ministers thought that Tang Yi was fooling around, and that this was a game that Tang Yi had decided to play on a whim because he was dissatisfied.

The result was that everyone, including him, the emperor, fell into Tang Yi's trap!

But even though he knew it was Tang Yi's plan, Emperor Yanwen was still very angry when he saw this scene. If Tang Yi hadn't caused this incident, he wouldn't have known that the government had no credibility in the eyes of the people.

After all, Tang Yi was clearly just guiding, not leading!

"Prince, is what the people say true?"

Emperor Yanwen stared at the Crown Prince and said word by word, "Do you know about the East Palace Steward and your brother-in-law's murder on horseback? Did you do anything to obstruct the investigation?"

"You, tell me the truth."

"Otherwise, if I find out, you know what the consequences will be."

The prince originally wanted to deny it, but after hearing Emperor Yanwen's cold voice, he was too lazy to deny it.

He turned and knelt before Emperor Yanwen, kowtowed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, this is all true, but my steward is the cousin of the Duke of Liang, and my brother-in-law is the heir of the Duke of Liang's mansion."

"They were all of noble status, and those who died... were just a few ordinary women and civilians!"

"I feel that pursuing their crimes would be disrespectful to the Duke of Liang's Mansion, so I suppressed the case."

Those who died were just a few ordinary women and civilians... Emperor Yanwen was instantly furious. How could his prince say such words?

What does human life mean to him?

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Emperor Yanwen roared and kicked the prince to the ground.

The prince's face suddenly turned cold and his eyes suddenly became fierce, but he quickly stood up and knelt respectfully in front of Emperor Yanwen. He lowered his head so that no one could see his face at this moment, which was as ferocious as a demon!

Father, you forced me to do this!

When the Prime Minister comes back, I will have no choice but to ask you to abdicate and let someone else take over!
