The eldest son is fierce

Qi Wendao and Lou Gong were also very angry. You are the prince, how can you say such things casually?

Originally, Tang Yi wanted to prove that the laws in Kyoto were broken and that officials and aristocratic families were colluding with each other. But after these few words, you became Tang Yi's most powerful witness.

Can you use some brains?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Highness was angered by the people below the city, so he spoke without restraint."

"Your Highness is diligent in his work and loves his people. He is well-known for his virtue and would never do such a thing."

Qi Wendao rushed to rescue him.

Jiang Zheng and other censors also quickly agreed.

Tang Yi laughed immediately after seeing this scene. I set up such a big plan, how could I let you mess it up?

Like to beg for favors, right? Okay, let me help you!

He immediately walked to Qi Wendao's side, bowed, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I second your opinion. The ministers are right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well-known for his virtue. I believe he will never take the lead in doing anything that violates the law of the country."

Tang Yi's voice was so loud that it instantly drowned out the voices of the ministers.

Qi Wendao and Lou Gong looked at him together, their eyes showing that they wanted to skin him alive!

Shut up! Do we need your help?

Sure enough, the prince exploded on the spot when he heard Tang Yi's words.

"Tang Yi, shut up! Do I need you to beg for mercy?"

The prince's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Tang Yi and roared, "I did it. I'm the prince, so let alone covering up for him, even if I killed a few ants, what's the big deal?"

Finished!

The idiot prince has been fooled again!

Qi Wendao, Lou Gong and other ministers felt their hearts drop to the bottom in an instant.

I was trying to save it, but now it's all ruined.

Tang Yi immediately gave a thumbs up, his face full of praise: "That's right, the crown prince of our Great Yan must have such domineering power."

"Laws and the government are all bullshit!"

"Right, my Lords."

He glanced at the ministers and applauded, "Hey, all of you, stop looking so deadpan. Don't you see how domineering our Crown Prince is? There should be applause here!"

Applause, sir!

Everyone stared at him coldly. "We have dead faces? We want to beat you into a dead face now."

Emperor Yanwen was originally so angry at the prince that his three corpse gods jumped into a rage, but now looking at Tang Yi's appearance, his eyebrows also twitched.

I almost forgot, this bastard is much more skilled at manipulating people's mentality than the prince.

"Shut up, and take it easy."

Emperor Yanwen glared at Tang Yi.

But when he looked at the ministers, his face suddenly became gloomy and he no longer had a good look towards Tang Yi.

"My dear ministers, you just said that the Crown Prince was too angry, right? Well, I will give you a chance now."

"Give me a good explanation. I really want to know how you can prove that the Kyoto government is clean and honest and the laws are strict."

"Come on, let's get started!"

The ministers' faces changed several times and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

Excuse me? What kind of excuse is that?

The prince has become the most powerful witness, how can we still argue?

Are you going to use the nine clans to argue?

"Why are you so dumb? Quibbling!"

Seeing that no one moved, Emperor Yanwen raised his hand and pointed at them.

"Didn't you swear solemnly in the Council of State? Didn't you say Tang Yi was framing you?"

"Why, you gentlemen, are you trying to tell me that you are deceiving the emperor?"

The ministers were so frightened that they trembled all over and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"I and your Majesty deserve to die. Please forgive me."

"I deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The facts are right in front of us, how can we still struggle?

Lost this round again!

"Forgive me? You have contributed greatly to the law being trampled upon and the court's credibility being tarnished. Now, you ask me to forgive you?"

Emperor Yanwen slowly clenched his fist, staring at Qi Wendao and other ministers and said word by word: "You should all go to prison to accompany Zhao Ke and Liu Wen!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Emperor Yanwen looked at them and really wanted to deal with them all.

But the situation behind these people is complicated. If they are really dealt with, there will be chaos in the government and the country, and Kyoto will be a river of blood tonight.

This is the tragedy of an emperor who does not have absolute military power and whose power is almost completely usurped by his ministers.

Take your time, take your time, I have plenty of time, plenty of time... Emperor Yanwen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp and his expression was resolute.

"Somebody come!"

Following his deep shout, Zhao Hu immediately led his men forward.

Emperor Yanwen pointed at the Crown Prince and said in a cold voice, "The Crown Prince allowed his servant to commit murder and shielded a criminal. His crimes are extremely serious. He shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and confined to the Eastern Palace. Without my permission, he shall not set foot outside the Eastern Palace!"

"The East Palace steward and the prince of the Duke of Liang's mansion who are involved in the case should be arrested immediately."

"This case is being handled by Jingzhao Prefecture, and supervised by the Imperial Guard, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple."

Emperor Yanwen swept his gaze across the room and announced, "I will grant Tang Yi the Imperial Sword. Wherever he goes, it will be as if I were there in person. Anyone who dares to pretend to obey but secretly obstruct the investigation will be executed first and reported to the emperor later."

This is a naked warning!

"We dare not!" The ministers suddenly tensed up and said in unison.

"Don't dare? It's better if you really don't dare. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

After saying this, Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi, who was watching the show with a teapot in hand, and said, "I give you three days to solve the case. Is there any problem?"

Tang Yi pointed at himself and said, "Me? Your Majesty, please don't make a fuss. I am only a captain of the Imperial Guard, not the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. This case is not under my jurisdiction."

Making trouble? It's obviously you who's making trouble. You've made me lose face.

I am the emperor, but I cannot control my ministers. I allow the government and the aristocratic families to collude with each other, making the people of Kyoto live in dire straits. This slap you gave me makes me wish I could find a hole to crawl into.

Now you still have the nerve to say that I am causing trouble?

"Tang Yi, listen to my orders!" Emperor Yanwen took a deep breath and his voice suddenly rose.

"I'm here!" Tang Yi walked out.

Emperor Yanwen stared at him and said, "Tang Yi, Captain of the Imperial Guard, although it is understandable to eliminate the Second Division of the Imperial Guard, the nobles must consult me ​​about how to deal with them. Where do you think I am in this position if you do it without authorization?"

"Tang Yi is now relieved of all his duties as a Jinyiwei and expelled from the Jinyiwei. He will be assigned to Jingzhao Prefecture tomorrow."

Tang Yi raised his head and looked at Emperor Yanwen in surprise.

Why do I feel like everything is planned by this dog emperor?

I feel that he promoted me to the rank of Captain of the Imperial Guard just to remove me from office at this moment and prevent disaster.

"What? Any objections?" Emperor Yanwen glanced at Tang Yi and snorted coldly.

"No, I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Yi bowed in thanks, but didn't dare to raise any opinions.

"Damn it! Shameless!"

When the ministers, led by Qi Wendao, heard how Emperor Yanwen dealt with Tang Yi, they were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

Your Majesty, please don't be too obvious about your favoritism, okay?

Tang Yi killed more than a dozen nobles in one breath. If this happened to someone else, they would have died ten times already.

What happened to Emperor Yanwen now? He simply dismissed Tang Yi from all his duties in the Imperial Guard.

Then, let him go to Jingzhao Prefecture to take up his post.

Punishment? You call that a punishment?

This is clearly to relieve this guy of his burden, allowing him to fight easily in Jingzhao Prefecture and then deal with us properly.

It's so insidious!
