Duke Rong smiled awkwardly, thinking that what he said was not easy either.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received many ambiguous looks from the ministers.
He guessed that his good image had been destroyed when he pleaded for Prince Yueqing.
"General Yao, don't get excited."
General Yao snorted coldly. Although he knew that he could not disobey the emperor's order, he still couldn't help but feel angry.
Seeing that General Yao had calmed down a bit, Duke Rong continued, "The late emperor didn't say that Prince Yueqing couldn't be imprisoned."
Although Prince Yueqing was given a chance to live, what's the difference between locking him up and killing him?
Anyway, I can’t come out and harm others.
Duke Rong thought his idea was a good one, as it did not violate the late emperor's instructions and allowed Prince Yueqing to bear the corresponding punishment.
Although this punishment was a bit light, it was the most perfect solution he could think of.
[Hahaha, Prince Yueqing's head is buzzing right now. He must be thinking, isn't this old man, Duke Rong, on my side?]
This is indeed what Prince Yueqing thought in his heart.
Why did my father choose such an unreliable person? Is it because he thinks his situation is too comfortable?
"What does the Emperor think?"
After Duke Rong finished speaking, he felt that the ministers' eyes were no longer as ambiguous as before, and he felt relieved, thinking that he had finally maintained his good reputation.
He didn't want to ruin the good reputation he had earned in his youth at this moment.
Thinking that he was also an extremely brave and skilled warrior when he was young, he found it difficult to say what he just said.
If he were younger, he would probably want to kill the King of Yueqing to rid the people of this evil.
"Duke Rong doesn't think his method is perfect, does he? Tyrants are much better at picking out the right words than you are."
Prince Yueqing has done so many things that could cost him his life, yet the tyrant has only imprisoned him. Will the Yao family be satisfied? The ministers will surely think the tyrant is incompetent behind his back.
The emperor raised his lips, Luo'er still understood him.
Many people have heard about what the Prince of Yueqing did. If he was simply locked up, how could the people believe that the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people?
He has already made plans for the worst. If the big boss that Luo'er mentioned does not show up, what will happen if he has violated the will?
Anyway, General Yao and General Jin are in Beijing now. If anyone uses this incident to cause trouble, he doesn't mind making an example of them to scare the monkeys.
"Your Majesty, I think this punishment is too lenient."
The emperor nodded in agreement. "The Prime Minister is right. According to the laws of our Tianqi Kingdom, the title of King of Yueqing should be abolished, the fiefdom should be reclaimed, and the king should be executed."
"Behead?"
Prince Yueqing threw his head back and laughed as if he had heard a joke.
"Brother Emperor, if you don't know the consequences of disobeying the will, I can tell you."
The emperor did not get angry about this, and said calmly: "I can deal with a scourge like you, so what if I violated the will?"
I had some concerns before because Jin Tingan was not in Beijing and the issue with Yao Kang had not been resolved yet. Now that the matter has been resolved, I naturally have no concerns.
"Why hasn't the key figure appeared yet? Tyrant, don't try to show off. You may look handsome and domineering now, but if someone plotting rebellion catches you and makes trouble, Tianqi will be in constant trouble."
"My Royal Brother, you are so arrogant," Prince Yueqing said arrogantly, "Do you really dare to execute me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud female voice was heard outside the hall.
"Why not?"
[Ahhh, here he comes, the boss who can make the King of Yueqing die is here.]
Everyone looked outside the door and saw the person who was speaking walking into the hall in a red dress.
Prince Yueqing recognized the person as the madam of Fengyue Tower at a glance, and he sneered.
"Brother, your palace is truly open to anyone, cat or dog. Now, a brothel madam can even come and meddle in this imperial palace?"
Several princes who had met Feng Yi were also confused. Is she the boss Luo'er was talking about?
When the ministers heard what Prince Yueqing said, they all looked at Feng Yi.
"Anyone?" Feng Yi raised the sword in her hand and walked in front of King Yueqing. "Do you recognize this sword?"
The moment he saw the sword, King Yueqing's pupils suddenly dilated, and the surprise in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.
Duke Rong, who was standing next to him, was also surprised when he saw the sword, and then looked at Feng Yi in disbelief.
Seeing the two of them like this, the confused ministers were eager to know why the sword in Feng Yi's hand could make Prince Yueqing and Duke Rong show such expressions.
The fourth prince raised his hand and tugged at the third prince.
"Is that sword powerful?"
The Third Prince rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you see the dragon pattern on the hilt?"
"You are the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Feng Yi?"
Duke Rong pointed at the sword in her hand and said, "This is the royal sword of the late emperor."
He often went on expeditions with the late emperor and was very familiar with this sword. However, the late emperor never used it again. It turned out that he had given it to Feng Yi.
[Tyrant, don't you even recognize Feng Yi? You don't even recognize your father's first love, Bai Yueguang. That's not right.]
emperor:"……"
He has to learn various things every day, so he doesn't have the time to pay attention to these irrelevant things.
Later, he heard from his mother that there was always someone living in his father's heart, but no one had ever seen this person, and he thought he was dead.
The ministers gasped when they heard what Duke Rong said.
The late emperor's sword had the power to kill tyrants and treacherous ministers. They would not dare to stop him from killing the Prince of Yueqing, let alone the emperor.
"That's right," Feng Yi glanced at King Yueqing, "Do I need to tell you the function of this sword?"
Prince Yueqing recovered from his shock and asked, "Why do you have my father's sword?"
After his father was buried in the imperial mausoleum, no one ever mentioned this sword. He thought it had been buried with his father, but he didn't expect it to be in this person's hands.
[Nonsense, of course it was given by your father. Your father was saved by her and fell in love with her at first sight, so he gave her his sword.]
[By the way, even the Phoenix Seal was given to her, but unfortunately she has no intention of entering the palace. The late emperor, that old man, didn't even appoint an empress.]
[The tyrant was once the crown prince, and his mother was only the Imperial Noble Consort.]
【Looking at it this way, the late emperor was quite infatuated. 】
[Hey, by comparison, the tyrant has already had two queens. That's impressive.]
emperor:"……"
Although the princes did not understand what Lao Deng meant, Luo'er's tone made them feel that it was not a good thing.
"Of course it was given to you by your father," Feng Yi looked at Prince Yueqing as if he were a fool, and took out the Phoenix Seal again, "This was also given to you by your father. Could it be that Your Highness thinks I stole it?"
She saved the seriously injured late emperor and they fell in love with each other during their time together.
After knowing the identity of the late emperor, she decisively gave up this relationship and drove him away, because she knew clearly that the palace was not suitable for her. What she yearned for was freedom and the world of martial arts, not the constraints of the deep palace.
Not long after the late emperor left the Feng family, he came back and promised her that he would make her the queen and that she would be the only one. Before leaving, he left his imperial sword and phoenix seal, and told her to go to the palace to find him when she had figured it out.
Fengyi came out of her memories. At that time, she was probably moved by his sincere words, but unfortunately, things did not go as she wished.
