Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The person who stepped forward was Prime Minister Chen Shimao.

There is no need to say much about the relationship between him and Qin Ming.

He was Qin Ming's teacher back then and had a very close relationship with him.

Even when Qin Ming fled the capital and went to Lingnan, Chen Shimao repeatedly spoke for him in the court.

"Chen Shimao, what do you want to say?"

Emperor Qian frowned slightly.

Chen Shimao was an important official in the imperial court with a deep foundation. In addition, he had sufficient qualifications and his abilities were beyond doubt.

If this person stood up, Emperor Qian could not directly refute him in court as he would with ordinary officials.

No matter what, you have to pretend and let him finish what he is saying.

"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has made mistakes, his crimes are not serious enough."

Chen Shimao spoke in a very serious and decisive tone.

"I understand this matter. The Xiao family was at fault first, so the King of Qin's retaliation is understandable."

As soon as these words were spoken, many court officials who understood the situation nodded.

They all felt that what Chen Shimao said made sense.

This incident was obviously caused by the Xiao family going to Lingnan to cause chaos.

They even almost destroyed the textile factory that Qin Ming had built with great difficulty!

How come Emperor Qian and Qin Yue put all the blame on Qin Ming with just a few words?

It doesn’t make sense!

"I also heard that it was the Xiao family who took action first."

"Back then, the Xiao family spent a lot of money and turned Lingnan into a mess, nearly causing tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs."

"With so many people's jobs at stake, it's understandable that Your Highness would fight back."

……

Chen Shimao is worthy of being a veteran minister. He pointed out the problem in just a few words.

Seeing the situation fluctuate, Crown Prince Qin Yue suddenly became anxious.

He immediately walked out from the back and said to everyone:

"Everyone, the King of Qin has been disrupting the market by selling textiles to Jiangnan."

"What the Xiao family did was simply to punish the King of Qin in Lingnan and stop him from influencing the Jiangnan market. What's wrong with that?"

A cold snort suddenly came from the crowd.

The Minister of Revenue Qian Cai strode out.

"Your Highness, please be more responsible when you speak!"

"When did the imperial court stipulate that goods produced in a region can only be sold within its own territory?"

"Your Highness was just doing a normal business deal with Jiangnan, and you're not allowed to do that? I've never heard of such a thing!"

Qian Cai's words made all the officials nod their heads.

This is indeed the truth.

"you……!"

Qin Yue clenched his fists, his face flushed red.

Emperor Qian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked a little ugly at this moment.

Qin Yue is still too young.

Logically speaking, all the officials from Concubine Xiao's lineage should be present.

But none of them stood up and spoke.

It was obvious that Qin Yue had not thought it through enough, and his statement was untenable.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one wants to play a game against the wind.

Especially after Chen Shimao and Qian Cai came out, they all knew that today's incident might not be so easy to determine.

Naturally, there weren't that many people speaking up for Qin Yue.

His brain was spinning rapidly, and Qin Yue spoke again:

"The Xiao family didn't do anything too extreme. They just punished the King of Qin slightly, and then they launched a fierce counterattack, and their two industries were completely destroyed!"

"The King of Qin is narrow-minded and merciless in his actions. Shouldn't such evil deeds be punished?"

As soon as Qin Yue finished speaking, Emperor Qian's brow furrowed even deeper.

Exposing one's intentions in this way is obviously too targeted!

Especially when facing these tough guys in the court, they won't get involved like this...

Now, all those who were watching the situation and ready to say a few words on behalf of the prince shook their heads slightly.

This Qin Yue is very different from the original King of Qin.

Although Qin Ming ascended the throne of the crown prince at a young age, he has always been extremely meticulous in his work over the years.

As expected, Qian Cai laughed loudly and said:

"Your Highness, you really are good at avoiding the important issues!"

"What if His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin hadn't launched a swift and decisive counterattack this time, and the Xiao family had destroyed the textile factory, leaving tens of thousands of people without food?"

"Will you still say at that time that this is just a minor punishment?"

If you fail, just say you will only be punished slightly.

If they succeed, Qin Ming will be doomed to failure.

Qin Yue's standards are extremely flexible.

Hearing the other party's question, Qin Yue was silent.

He really couldn't answer this question.

As for the ministers present at the scene, no one dared to stand up and take the blame at this moment.

Chen Shimao slowly continued:

"Your Majesty, I believe this is just a competition between ordinary merchants and there is no problem at all."

"If the imperial court condescends to intervene in civil disputes, I'm afraid people will laugh at us if it gets out."

"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"

These two people are considered Qin Ming's die-hard supporters.

Especially seeing Qin Ming alone build extremely powerful facilities such as textile factories and workshops in Lingnan, and even accommodate tens of thousands of people to make money together.

This made them all feel that Qin Ming was still the prince who ruled Daqian back then.

Even better than before!

Then why wouldn't I support it?

Sure enough, after the two of them finished speaking.

The scene fell into dead silence!

Qin Yue was blocked by them one after another and his mentality was already broken.

At this moment he yelled in frustration:

"You are wrong!"

"This savage fellow! He must be convicted! He must be convicted!"

tsk...

Someone in the crowd tutted.

It was obvious that he was a little disappointed with the prince.

This guy behaved extremely inappropriately.

Now we are in the court!

No matter what kind of hatred there is, it is impossible to forcibly convict someone like he did.

Doing so will only lead to more gossip and won't get anything done.

Still too young...

After this incident, many officials even began to waver in their support for Qin Yue.

Emperor Qian had been in charge of the court for many years and had long been keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Enough! Back off!"

After a loud shout, Qin Yue immediately woke up from his anger!

He immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Father, I have lost my composure!"

After Emperor Qian stopped him, he ignored him and refocused his attention on Qin Ming's matter.

"No matter what, Jiangnan is now in chaos! All of this is caused by Qin Ming!"

"If we don't deal with them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to silence the people of the world! If word gets out, people will think that all of my royal family is like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers below secretly criticized him in their hearts.

If the entire Daqian royal family were composed of people like Qin Ming, there would be no worries about its prosperity.

It's a pity that there is only one person like him in these generations.

You even exiled me to Lingnan and replaced me with a crappy guy.

Of course, they only thought about these words in their hearts.

No one said it.

Chen Shimao and Qian Cai looked at each other, and neither of them stopped Emperor Qian from speaking.

Anyway, they have already established the correctness of Qin Ming's counterattack against the Xiao family.

Even Emperor Qian could not lay a hand on Qin Ming's throne.

Let him take whatever punishment he gets later.

I don’t know how Emperor Qian could punish the King of Qin, who had never asked the court for a penny.

Does he have the nerve to punish?
