Of course, Huo Yushen would not give him such advice.
The current situation is just a delaying tactic that Huo Yushen came up with in a hurry.
As long as Xia Chujian is not shot immediately, there is room for maneuver.
But now it seems that these people are not very useful.
This Zong Ruoan even directly gave the emperor "suggestions"...
Huo Yushen counted his luck in his heart.
Zong Ruoning glanced at Zong Ruoan and felt that there were some things that Zong Ruoan didn't need to say.
He spoke again: "Your Majesty, everyone is well aware of the entire process of Xia Chujian's case."
"Tan Tai Jing was at fault first..."
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan interrupted him coldly: "Even if you are wrong, Tan Tai Jing was also the Crown Princess at that time!"
"Who gave Xia Chujian the courage to shoot at my first-in-line heir?"
"Her disrespectful and unfaithful behavior doesn't deserve to be shot on the spot?!"
"Do you still take me seriously?!"
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan roared and walked into the imperial study with a wave of his sleeves.
Everyone followed in.
Huo Yushen was the last one to come and closed the door of the imperial study.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan sat down behind the large desk in the imperial study.
On the desk, a young eunuch had already prepared a cup of gaiwan tea for him and placed it there.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan opened the lid of the bowl, took a sip, and slammed the teacup onto the desk, splashing water everywhere.
He didn't care and said grimly, "I have made up my mind!"
"If you object, you'll be just like Xia Chujian, born with a rebellious nature!"
This made everyone afraid to speak again.
Mecha Master Su Buyan stood behind his father, the high priest Su Yanxing, and kept pulling at his father's clothes, trying to get him to intercede.
Su Yanxing vaguely knew that his son had a close relationship with Xia Chujian, but he was not sure what the relationship was.
Noticing his son's actions, he thought for a moment, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty, if you really want to sentence Xia Chujian to death for killing the Crown Princess, you still need to follow the procedures."
"Killing a member of the royal family, and the first heir to the throne, is a heinous crime. We cannot just execute him."
"Not only should she be sent to a military court, but she should also be handed over to the Holy Temple to see if there are other forces behind her."
When Su Buyan heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
He wanted his father to help plead for him, not to push Xia Chujian into a deeper pit!
He almost jumped out to speak, but Quan Yuxun was one step faster than him.
Quan Yuxun said, "Your Majesty, the reason you want to execute Xia Chujian immediately is because she doesn't know Tan Taijing's true identity. You dare to kill her even if she is the Crown Princess."
"From this perspective, Xia Chujian is indeed an unforgivable criminal."
"But the question is, what if Xia Chujian already knew Tan Taijing's true identity?"
"If she had known earlier that Tan Tai Jing was not the Queen's daughter, she would have understood that Tan Tai Jing was not a member of the royal family at all, and certainly not the first in line to the throne."
"Not even a noble."
"Under such circumstances, she was being hunted by Tan Tai Jing, and she was forced to retaliate out of anger. This wasn't breaking the law, but rather within the law and within reason."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "So Yu Xun believes that Xia Chu Jian knew Tan Tai Jing's true identity before she killed her, and that she wasn't the Queen's biological daughter?"
"But, this is such a top secret that even I just learned about it. How did Xia Chujian know about it?"
Quan Yuxun bowed and said, "This requires her to be put on trial."
"If she's not put on trial, who knows what forces are behind her. If she's just shot, her loved ones might be saddened and her enemies might be delighted... She's fallen into someone else's trap!"
It is obvious that Quan Yuxun's strategy is the same as Huo Yushen's, which is to first dissuade the emperor from the idea of executing Xia Chujian immediately.
As long as the execution is not immediate, there is still time to operate.
The next step is to find evidence to prove that she has known for a long time that Tan Tai Jing is not the Queen's biological daughter.
This would prove that when she killed Tan Tai Jing, she was consciously killing an imposter and did not intend to kill the Crown Princess.
As long as this is proven, Xia Chujian will be acquitted immediately.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan hesitated.
Of course, what made him hesitate was not the "reason" said by Quan Yuxun, Zong Ruoning, Zong Ruoan and Su Yanxing.
Instead, these people came to see him at the same time and stopped him from killing Xia Chujian immediately!
What does this mean?
Is Xia Chujian very important to these people?
Or do these people simply dislike the idea of an emperor exercising his power of life and death?!
