The eldest son is fierce

Not enough, far from enough.

There was no emotion in Emperor Yanwen's voice, but the murderous intent contained in it was enough to send a chill down everyone's spine.

Emperor Yanwen's meaning was very clear. Whether it was Fan Mingzhong or his own son, the crown prince, death would be too easy for them.

Come to think of it, tens of thousands of people from Dayan were sold to Beidi by the crown prince and Fan Mingzhong for the sake of profit. This is digging their own graves and destroying the foundation of Dayan!

And in the end, it was the emperor who had to bear all of this.

Because all the infamy and all the guilt in the world will ultimately be borne by the emperor.

It was his failure to discipline that led to the rebellious Crown Prince. It was his lack of moral integrity that led to the rampant corruption and the treatment of the people of Dayan like pigs and dogs...

For a moment, everyone at the scene fell silent.

They were raging with rage just now, begging the emperor to kill Fan Mingzhong, behead the crown prince, and exterminate Yuwen Feng. But who could bear the guilt of forcing the emperor to kill his own son?!

"Report!"

At this time, Lin Bao rushed in quickly, saluted Emperor Yanwen and said, "Your Majesty, thousands of people are rushing towards this manor, holding hoes and other tools in their hands, and they are coming in a fierce manner."

"The outpost requests your instructions on whether to stop it. Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

These people were naturally the ones that Fan Mingzhong and the prince had gathered by deliberately leaking the news in order to frame Tang Yi.

Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi and said, "Mr. Tang, you are the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Since this case is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, you will handle the trial and judgment according to the law!"

At this point, Emperor Yanwen closed his eyes in pain and tilted his head: "Even if it involves me, I will still make the judgment."

"When the emperor breaks the law, he is punished just like the common people. This is not just a saying."

"Even if it requires me to issue a confession of guilt!"

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately frightened, and those ministers involved in the case were instantly disheartened and trembling with fear.

The emperor's words were equivalent to temporarily granting Tang Yi the power to override the imperial power. If he could even judge the emperor, then how could the ministers involved in the case escape?

This guy even killed Liang Rong, so wouldn't they also become his victims?

Tang Yi didn't act pretentiously. He looked at Lin Bao and said, "Don't stop them. Let them in! But we must strengthen our defenses to avoid any accidents."

"Yes." Lin Bao took the order and left.

Seeing this scene, Fan Mingzhong and the Crown Prince were both anxious. Tang Yi was going to publicly interrogate them and let those peasants judge their crimes. Were they worthy?!

"Father, I am the Crown Prince and a representative of the royal family. How can I stand trial in public?"

The prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Emperor Yanwen, saying, "Father, Tang Yi has no good intentions. He is publicly humiliating the royal family and humiliating you, father!"

Fan Mingzhong also became anxious. He looked at Emperor Yanwen and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty, you can't do this to me. My father is Fan Yong, my father is Fan Yong!"

"My father is Fan Yong, the Prime Minister. How could you treat me like this?"

However, Emperor Yanwen didn't even look at them and turned to walk out of the hall.

Publicly humiliating the royal family? It wasn't Tang Yi who humiliated the royal family, it was you, the Crown Prince. A Crown Prince of a country actually trafficked the people of Dayan. This is the greatest shame that the royal family can never wash away!

The Jingkang Humiliation was inflicted by foreign enemies, but now this national humiliation is your own!

Sometimes the humiliation inflicted by one's own people is more terrible than the national humiliation!

"Tang Yi!!!" Seeing that the emperor ignored them, Fan Mingzhong and the prince completely exploded, staring at Tang Yi with bloodshot eyes.

It was all that bastard's fault. A discarded good-for-nothing actually dared to meddle in their affairs and force them into such an embarrassing and desperate situation.

"Shhh."

Tang Yi carried the big sword, raised a finger to his lips, and said with a smile: "Don't shout, you won't have a chance to clean your neck, so just stretch your neck and wait for it to be chopped off!"

He turned and walked out of the village, his voice cold, "Release everyone, then notify the people from Jingzhao Prefecture to come in and pacify the area. They are more suitable than the Jinyiwei."

The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture were all trained by him personally and had extensive experience in interacting with the masses.

The Jinyiwei had a bad reputation long ago, and if they comforted the victims, it would only produce negative effects.

……

Meanwhile, outside the manor.

"Come out and hand him over!"

"Where is my son? Where is my son? Give my son back to me."

"You bastards, let my son go, or I'll fight you to the death!"

"..."

Thousands of people have gathered from all directions. They are excited and angry. They are waving hoes, sticks and other weapons in their hands, forcing the Jinyiwei who are on guard around to retreat again and again.

Emperor Yanwen stood in the courtyard and his face looked very ugly when he saw this scene.

The princess glanced at Emperor Yanwen and said with a smile, "Royal brother, why don't you send troops here? Aren't Di Cang's 30,000 troops stationed outside the South City?"

"If we mobilize the troops now, within half an hour, 30,000 soldiers can cleanse this place three times and leave no one alive."

How could Emperor Yanwen not understand what the princess meant? This was telling him that there was still a chance to silence everyone who knew the truth. As long as everyone who knew the truth was silenced today, the secret of the crown prince's involvement in human trafficking would remain a secret forever.

After all, the royal family no longer has much trust and deterrent power in the hearts of the people of the world. Once the prince's affairs are exposed, it will be a fatal blow to the emperor's rule.

"Leave no one alive, including the imperial sister?"

Emperor Yanwen looked at the eldest princess with cold eyes. The eldest princess smiled and said, "My royal brother is really good at joking. Isn't my royal sister thinking about my royal brother? If the Crown Prince's case gets out, it will not be very friendly to my royal brother."

Emperor Yanwen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and smiled mockingly: "That was in the past."

Before? The princess was slightly startled.

Emperor Yanwen pointed behind him and said, "Now, I have Tang Yi! Tang Yi will help me with things like charging into battle."

"The problems you mentioned were big problems for me before, so I tolerated them time and time again, but now I don't need to tolerate them anymore."

"I may not be a good emperor, nor do I have a good reputation, but Tang Yi does!"

"With Tang Yi here, Kyoto will not be in chaos. The imperial sister's wishful thinking of killing three birds with one stone is doomed to fail."

The eldest princess's face suddenly turned cold.

She stared at the approaching people and said in a cold voice, "Does my royal brother trust Tang Yi so much?"

Emperor Yanwen folded his hands and sneered, "Royal sister, please don't bother trying to sow discord. It's unnecessary, because Tang Yi has never fully trusted me from the beginning to the end!"

"However, he and I have a common goal, which is to make Da Yan stronger."

"His loyalty has never been to me, but to this country. So why can't I trust him?"

Emperor Yanwen glared at the eldest princess and said, "You missed the best opportunity. You have no chance anymore."

"Three months ago, you still had a chance, but now... no one in the world can stop the rise of Da Yan!"
