Chapter 157 Dog-eat-Dog



The three of them sneered.

“You laugh at us and think you are clean, but in fact you are worse than us.

Since you like to watch the fun, then just tear off the fig leaf."

The minister who was targeted by the three people panicked...

A minister bowed to the three men and begged for mercy.

"I didn't provoke you. We are friends. Please don't hurt me. If you want to settle the score, go find the person who hurt you."

The three people who had made a big fool of themselves didn't care about anything else. They just pretended not to see anything and started talking nonsense.

"Master Li, your sister was secretly meeting a man from another family in the middle of the night and was discovered by the neighbors. You were afraid that the family scandal would be exposed, so you forced your sister to hang herself..."

Several more ministers were dragged into it.

Emperor Dongling stopped it in time.

"That's enough, shut your stinky mouths.

What do you think the court is? Is it a place for you to compare yourselves to see how ugly you are?

If you feel you haven't said enough, I can grant you leave and you can come back when you've said enough."

After scolding him, he lowered his head and quietly comforted the villain: "We have listened to most of it today. We can listen to it tomorrow. Otherwise, we will finish listening in one day. It will be boring."

[Well, today I just ate watermelons and didn't catch any bad guys. I will definitely help grandpa catch them tomorrow.]

Nangong Jiu was chewing snacks with a "crunch, crunch" sound, looking at everyone with a silly face, as if he was frightened by the argument.

I originally just wanted Hong Tianfu to complain about those three old guys.

Who knew they would react so strongly, turning the morning court into a gathering to eat melons?

This pull also pulled out a bunch of them.

You can’t blame me, you really can’t blame me!

Emperor Dongling suppressed his laughter and looked at the ministers seriously.

"Look at yourselves, what do you look like? You're all like shrews scolding people in the street. It's shameful.

If you know there is something scandalous happening in your family, you should control your family members and avoid causing trouble.

You should also cultivate yourselves and be strict with yourselves, then there will naturally be no jokes like today.

Go back and reflect on your actions, and leave the court!"

After saying this, he hugged Nangong Jiu and walked away with a grim look on his face.

Only when he returned to the imperial study did he burst into laughter.

"Jiu'er, my royal grandfather has never attended court like this in his entire life, but today has set a precedent.

But I feel very comfortable.

Those old ministers usually take advantage of their seniority and act like bullies because they have served in two dynasties. The emperor has tolerated them for a long time.

Now, they have lost all face. Let's see if they can continue to nag as soon as they enter the court."

[Grandfather, I hope you don't blame me for ruining your morning court.]

"Haha... Grandfather Huang is so happy that he can't contain himself."

Eunuch Wei also laughed: "Your Majesty, there will be more trouble after they leave."

"They can talk as much as they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with the business. Whoever interferes with the business will go home and eat his own food.

Okay, take Jiuer back to Kunning Palace."

Nangong Jiu waved her little hand to Emperor Dongling and was carried out of the imperial study by Eunuch Wei.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into Nangong Honglie and his son and General Chu and his son.

"Grandfather, uncle, great-uncle!"

Several people came forward and asked: "Did you do what happened earlier?"

"It's me, helping."

Nangong Honglie smiled and tapped Nangong Jiu's little nose.

"Be more careful next time and don't let them find out. Okay, go find your mother." Nangong Honglie supported the little bun on Nangong Jiu's head.

At the palace gate.

Jiang Yunjing and the other two held Hong Tianfu tightly and refused to let go: "If you don't give us an explanation today, this matter will not be over."

"My Lords, I don't know what happened. I really didn't mean it."

Several other ministers who were innocently implicated also joined the battle and pulled Jiang Yunjing and the other two to ask for an explanation.

"You guys have been exposed by him for your family scandal, so just go find him, why are you dragging us into this?

We are friends normally, but this is how you treat yourselves as friends? Humph, from now on, we will go our separate ways and never have anything to do with each other again.”

The three knew they were in the wrong and had no choice but to apologize.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.

In that situation, the only way to stop people from being surprised is to expose everyone's dirty laundry.

Otherwise, wouldn't we be drowned in everyone's spit over our scandalous deeds?"

"If you want to explode, then do it all. What's the point of only exploding us?"

"Didn't the Emperor stop this? He's furious. If you continue, I'll almost die."

Several ministers snorted coldly, and one of them punched three people a few times, then turned his head and left, and the boat of friendship capsized.

After being beaten, the three men turned around and vented their anger on Hong Tianfu.

After a round of beating and kicking, he left cursing.

Hong Tianfu lay there with a bruised face and nose. It took him a long time to get up with difficulty and stumble back home.

However, this matter is not over yet, and a series of reactions are still waiting to happen.

Kunning Palace.

When Eunuch Wei sent Nangong Jiu back to Kunning Palace, a young eunuch from Kunning Palace had already told Empress Chen and Nangong Yunxue what had happened in the court.

Empress Chen spat, "Those old bastards should have been dealt with long ago. Jiuer's method is the best. It makes them suffer in silence."

Nangong Yunxue was a little worried: "Will they know that Jiuer did it?"

Empress Chen was full of confidence: "Even if they guessed it, what can they do to Jiuer?"

"Grandma, mother!"

Eunuch Wei came in carrying Nangong Jiu.

Nangong Yunxue hurried forward to take the little figure: "Jiuer, what happened today?"

My grandfather said that those old ministers have been acting a little strangely these past few days, and asked me to help investigate to see if they've done anything bad.

[That Hong Tianfu said I was an abandoned child, that a pheasant can't turn into a phoenix, and also said...]

I was so angry that I decided to punish him and let them fight each other. Who knew those old officials would react so strongly?

After hearing Nangong Jiu's words, Nangong Yunxue's eyes widened with anger: "Eunuch Wei, who is that Hong Tianfu? How dare he say that about my Jiu'er?"

"He is the Minister of War and has a certain friendship with Xue Huaian."

Empress Chen pressed on, "What did he say about Jiu'er?"

Nangong Yunxue repeated Nangong Jiu's words.

Empress Chen was furious after hearing this: "How dare he insult our Jiu'er like this! Let's go and settle the score with him."

Eunuch Wei quickly persuaded them, "Your Majesty, Madam Xue, calm down. He didn't say this publicly, so it's not easy for us to come to him and settle the score openly.

The princess has dealt with him, and those ministers will not let him off easily. He will meet a miserable end."

Nangong Yunxue thought about it and also advised Queen Chen.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Wei is right. If we go to him, he will find out that it was Jiuer who did it.

Don't worry, the ministers involved won't let him off easily."

"That's right!" Queen Chen hugged Nangong Jiu and comforted him.

"Jiu'er, don't take what he said to heart. He is a dog left behind by the Xue family. He is just biting people to vent his anger."

Nangong Jiu smiled and nodded.

[Just wait and see, he will be miserable...]
