Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby
Chapter 5: Driving Away the Son of Fortune
Leng Wuqin, who was kneeling on the ground, noticed the look in the emperor's eyes and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the execution of the Prince of Qi requires evidence. It would be better to first detain His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi in the Imperial Clan Court and investigate the entire matter before making a final decision."
The Duke of Zhenguo had just said a few good words to Leng Xiang in his heart when he heard Leng Xiang's shameless words and cursed Leng Xiang in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the old Duke Luo, who was kneeling beside him, wanted to speak again. If the Prince of Qi was really imprisoned in the clan house, even if it was found out that the Prince of Qi was loyal to the emperor, his reputation among the people would be greatly reduced.
Leng Qing raised his hand and pressed it, signaling the officials below not to speak.
After the silence below, Leng Qingyi finally spoke to the old Prince Luo who was hesitant to speak: "Old Prince, how come I didn't know when you and Prince Qi became so close? You are so considerate of Prince Qi, could it be that..."
After Leng Qingyi's outburst, Old Prince Luo was afraid that the emperor would say something earth-shattering and heartbreaking, so he quickly interrupted, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that punishing the King of Qi will damage your reputation."
"Oh? Really? Hasn't my reputation been ruined by you guys?"
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials fell to the ground in fear again. All the officials in the court, whether they were the emperor's men or anyone else, were frightened by the mad emperor today.
Even though this matter is well known to everyone, does the emperor want to delve into it by making it known so openly?
Moreover, today's emperor is completely different from previous emperors. Although previous emperors were crazy, they still had some scruples.
Today's emperor is completely indifferent and dares to say anything, even saying that the King of Qi is plotting a rebellion.
Not to mention the emperor's reputation among the people, the Prince of Qi is like a living Bodhisattva among the people. Whenever the people are in trouble, it is better to ask for help from the Prince of Qi's Mansion than to report the case to the Jingzhao Yin.
After all, there are some powerful people in the capital that the Jingzhao Yin dare not offend, but the King of Qi is not afraid of them. During every festival, the King of Qi will open a porridge stall at the gate of the palace. Even the rice shop in the King of Qi's palace is a few cents cheaper than other shops. It can be said that he has earned enough reputation.
If the emperor really dealt with the King of Qi today, the palace would be surrounded by the people in a few days.
Therefore, all the civil and military officials were frightened by the emperor's indifference today. Could it be that they really drove the emperor crazy?
Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground and trembling, she smiled coldly. It seemed that they were still afraid of her as the emperor. In this case, the next thing would be easy.
"Everyone, get up! Do you all think I'm a tyrant? Can I really do anything to my uncle?"
After saying that, Leng Qing glanced at Zhong Lihe who was kneeling upright beside him. No wonder the male protagonist was still so calm and composed at this time.
However, Leng Qing caught the fleeting humiliation on Zhongli He's face.
I really thought he was a handsome young man who was indifferent to fame and fortune, but it turns out that he is also a clique-forming person. Now he has colluded with the Duke of Zhenguo and the old prince. I don't know how many ministers have secretly joined his group.
"Old Prince, you are so old and hold no important position, why do you still come to court every day? I am also worried that something bad may happen to your health. From today on, you should stay at home and enjoy your retirement. Your descendants are also so old, and it is really unfilial to ask you to come to court. From today on, go back home and serve me."
Upon hearing this, the old prince Luo shuddered. He had thought that by boarding the ship of the Prince of Qi, his declining palace could regain its glory. He did not expect that because of the two words he said on behalf of the Prince of Qi today, the future of the entire family's descendants would be ruined.
Looking at the bent waist of Old Prince Luo, she smiled coldly. She has never been a good person who respects the elderly and loves the young. Whoever blocks her way will be prepared to die.
Prince Luo glanced at the King of Qi who was still kneeling beside him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. As long as the King of Qi gained power, his family still had hope of rising.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Prince Luo knelt down unwillingly to express his gratitude.
Leng Qingyi turned his gaze to the King of Qi again: "Uncle, didn't you hear me asking you to get up? Or did you want me to help you up myself?"
After saying that, Leng Qing made a gesture to stand up, and Zhongli He then stood up.
"Your Majesty, it was my words that made you uncomfortable, and I deserve to be punished."
Leng Qingyi smiled again. He wanted to brush off the person who had the intention of rebellion and said nothing if he felt uncomfortable with any of his words.
"Uncle, I just asked you where I was fooling around, but you haven't answered me yet. I guess you're not the kind of person who speaks without thinking."
Now that things have come to this, Zhong Lihe has no choice but to answer this question.
"The Emperor has only recently ascended the throne and has numerous political affairs at court. They should be addressed one by one. Bringing up all of them will not solve the problems and will only add unnecessary pressure to the officials."
"Oh? Uncle Emperor means that if an official performs his duties poorly, not only can I not mention it, but I also have to consider whether the official is under pressure."
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."
"Then what does the Emperor's uncle mean? Of course the Emperor's uncle can sympathize with the officials. It is my people who are suffering now, not the Emperor's uncle's people. Naturally, the Emperor's uncle is not in a hurry."
"If your Majesty thinks so, I have nothing to say."
This sentence made Leng Qing laugh. What a scumbag's quote.
"Since the Imperial Uncle has nothing to say, then there's no need to say anything. The Imperial Uncle's moral principles are useless in the court of Dongxia today. Dongxia is now nothing more than an empty shell. They have refugees for money and enemies for troops. If someone can't govern properly, they should replace him with someone more capable. I've already been branded an out-and-out tyrant, and I'm not afraid of being spit upon by the world."
Zhongli He's face turned pale. He didn't know when this nephew of the emperor became so eloquent.
"Uncle, you have no business in the court. Pack up and return to your fiefdom. Otherwise, if a young prince stays in the capital, others will think that you have evil intentions, even if I don't say anything."
Of course Zhongli He didn't want to leave. His plan had just begun, so how could he leave? But the emperor had said so in front of all the civil and military officials that it would be detrimental to him if he stayed in the capital.
"It is my fault for neglecting it. I will leave for my fiefdom tomorrow."
"No need. I have already packed the luggage for my uncle and we are leaving now. Nie Yueming, please let my good uncle leave."
Zhongli He raised his eyes and stared at the slightly thin figure on the dragon throne, his heart boiling with anger, but now his power has not yet developed and it is not the time to tear his face apart, so he can only swallow his anger.
"Yes, I thank the Emperor."
After saying this, Zhongli He turned and left, and all the officials in the court looked at each other in surprise.
Just like that, the two princes were driven away. The emperor was serious this time.
Suddenly the ministers remembered what the emperor had just said: if someone fails to do the job well, he should be replaced by someone more capable. According to the emperor's current crazy attitude, what he said might not be just to scare them.
