Although Gao Shizhen was extremely reluctant, he finally knelt down.
He didn't want to slap himself in the face.
But Gao Shizhen was also filled with anger.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Zuo Ren and others couldn't help but admire them secretly.
Your Highness is still amazing.
Just a few words made these people kneel on the ground.
Just as the prince said, it is useless to use soft tactics against these people, you have to use hard tactics!
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng worriedly, but was secretly worried in her heart.
Yun Zheng is very powerful now, but if this matter gets out, many nobles will definitely stand against him.
The purpose of the person behind this was completely achieved.
...
...
Yun Zheng didn't know what they were thinking. He just looked at the people in front of him with satisfaction, then asked Gao Shizhen with a smile: "Look, I teach them etiquette better than you do, right?"
"Your Majesty is so majestic! I admire you!"
Gao Shizhen raised his head, took out a jade sceptre from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "I, Gao Shizhen, bring all the scholars to petition the prince!"
This is standard procedure for petitions.
Although Yun Zheng didn't want to listen, he had no choice but to be patient.
There is no way, this is the rule of the Dagan Dynasty.
Petitioning is somewhat similar to direct criticism by censors in the court.
However, one is considered to be in the folk and the other is in the court.
But both have something in common.
You can't help but listen!
Although there was no law in the Great Gan Dynasty that stipulated that petitioners could not be killed, this was considered an unspoken rule.
This is just like the censor cannot be killed.
Yun Zheng glanced at Gao Shizhen casually and said calmly, "Speak!"
Gao Shizhen raised the jade in his hand tremblingly, stiffened his neck and yelled: "Your Highness defeated Beihuan with all his strength, and he is my hero! However, Your Highness was deceived by the witch Ye Zi, and corrupted the ethics and moral principles, which damaged Your Highness's reputation and the face of the royal family! I, together with the others, petition you to kill the witch Ye Zi to rectify the moral principles and the law, and do not bring shame to the royal family!"
"Please, Your Majesty, kill the evil woman Ye Zi to uphold justice and rites, and do not bring shame to the royal family!"
"Please, Your Majesty, kill the witch Ye Zi..."
As Gao Shizhen finished speaking, everyone followed suit and shouted in unison.
Everyone shouted again and again, completely unaware of the cold light in Yun Zheng's eyes.
Ye Zi knew that Yun Zheng must be furious at the moment, and was afraid that Yun Zheng would order his men to kill all these people here in a rage. She hurriedly stepped forward, gently held Yun Zheng's hand, and desperately winked at Yun Zheng, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Seeing the cold light in Yun Zheng's eyes, Ye Zi quickly winked at Miaoyin.
Miaoyin understood and slowly walked to Yun Zheng and held Yun Zheng's other hand.
Zuo Ren gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, wishing he could rush over and kill immediately.
He killed all these people, and all the blame in the world fell on him.
He can bear the stigma, but Yun Zheng cannot.
"Please, Your Majesty, kill the witch Ye Zi..."
The crowd was still repeating the petition over and over again.
Yun Zheng’s expression became increasingly ugly.
He didn't know how many donkeys had kicked Gao Shizhen's head to make him say such stupid things.
Did Gao Shizhen think that he and the group of scum he brought with him could force himself to kill Ye Zi?
They didn't even go to the court to ask. Even among the ministers in the court, who would dare to force them to kill Ye Zi?
And give Ye Zi the bad name of "vice"?
He finally realized that the person pushing this matter simply wanted to disgust him.
Yun Zheng tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, staring at Gao Shizhen with cold eyes, "Throughout the ages, all petitioners have petitioned for the people! You want me to kill Zi'er, but who are you petitioning for? What is your intention?"
"We have no ulterior motives, we are just petitioning for the people of the world!"
Gao Shizhen said loudly: "People all over the world hope that our great prince is an upright hero, not a shameless person who corrupts ethics and morals!"
Gao Shizhen said, and then raised his eyes to look at Miaoyin, "Witch, if you don't want a hero like the prince to bear the world's infamy for you, you should kill yourself!"
Listening to Gao Shizhen's words, Miaoyin couldn't help but smile slightly.
Yun Zheng felt both angry and amused.
This old guy, he even recognized the wrong person, and he’s still complaining here?
"Mr. Gao, I think your eyesight is blurry."
Ye Zi looked at Gao Shizhen coldly, "Her name is Miaoyin, and I am Ye Zi!"
"You...you are Ye Zi?"
Gao Shizhen was stunned.
He saw Miaoyin's naturally charming appearance, and she looked like a beauty who could bring disaster, so he thought Miaoyin was Ye Zi!
"good!"
Ye Zi said calmly, "I am the witch you are talking about! However, I can tell you clearly that not only will I not end my life here, I will also give birth to children for the prince! The emperor has already issued an edict to grant the marriage, how can you wait here to bark? What, are you questioning the emperor's edict?"
"Witch! Don't use the emperor to pressure me!"
Gao Shizhen shouted: "Your Majesty was forced to grant the marriage in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family. It was a helpless move!"
"The emperor has been so kind to you that he has made you a lady of honor, but you have used the title of lady of honor to do vile things to the prince. Not only has the prince been cursed by the world, but you have also brought shame to the royal family. Are you worthy of this great favor from the emperor and your late husband?"
"Now, how dare you say such shameless words in public?"
"I said you were a witch, but I was still praising you!"
"You think I'm the first bitch to fuck..."
Gao Shizhen opened fire at full force, aiming at Ye Zi.
Listening to Gao Shizhen's angry curses, Ye Zi was extremely angry, but she tried hard to appear calm.
She didn't want Yun Zheng to see her anger.
She knew Yun Zheng's temper too well.
If he showed anger, Yun Zheng would definitely punish these people severely to vent his anger.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble for Yun Zheng.
However, no matter how Ye Zi pretended to be calm, it no longer mattered.
Gao Shizhen's humiliation of Ye Zi in public has completely aroused Yun Zheng's anger.
Yun Zheng stared at Gao Shizhen with his eyes fixed, and even the scholars behind him could feel the murderous intent in his eyes.
But Gao Shizhen had no intention of stopping and continued cursing.
Yun Zheng did not say anything, nor did he interrupt Gao Shizhen who was cursing excitedly. He just slowly walked to Zuo Ren.
Zuo Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly drew out his sword, looking at Gao Shizhen with murderous intent, "Old thief, everyone says that great scholars should not be killed, but I want to see today, why not kill you, old thief!"
As he said this, Zuo Ren was about to rush over to kill Gao Shizhen.
"stop!"
Yun Zheng shouted angrily and stood in front of Zuo Ren, "This is none of your business, get out of here!"
“Your Highness!”
Zuo Ren was anxious and winked at Yun Zheng.
He can kill Gao Shizhen.
At worst, you'll be demoted to a mere pawn.
But Yun Zheng can't do that!
"This is an order!"
Yun Zheng shouted angrily, then stepped forward, snatched the knife from Zuo Ren's hand, and turned to look at Gao Shizhen with a cold gaze...
