Chapter 1168: The Emperor’s Favoritism
Emperor Tianxi was immediately furious when he heard what Prince Rong said.
"Outrageous! This is the royal hunting ground, and yet an assassin has sneaked in!" Emperor Tianxi shouted angrily, "Where is the Dali Temple Minister?! I must thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Emperor Tianxi gave the order, and Lord Xia immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is ill and is recuperating at home."
Lord Lin is the Minister of the Dali Temple. He has been ill for many days and did not accompany Emperor Tianxi to hunt.
Moreover, the cases in the Dali Temple are now mainly presided over by Shaoqing Xia, the Lord.
Speaking of which, Lord Xia is now exercising the duties of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
After hearing what Lord Xia said, Emperor Tianxi's expression froze, as if he had just remembered this point.
Then, pointing at Lord Xia, he angrily said, "Then what are you doing as a Shaoqing? Are you just collecting the court salary for nothing all day? Even with such a serious case, you're still dawdling here?"
Master Xia: "..."
What does the emperor mean by this?
Emperor Tianxi: "...Why don't you go check it out quickly!"
Emperor Tianxi slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, almost saying that Lord Xia was a hopeless case!
Master Xia: "..."
Lord Xia's heart moved and he immediately got up from the ground.
"Yes, yes, I obey your order!" Lord Xia said repeatedly.
After saying that, he turned around and winked at Madam Xia and Xia Siya.
Signaled the mother and daughter to get up quickly.
Madam Xia: “…”
Xia Siya: “…”
I don't understand.
"Get up! Go back!" Lord Xia could only shout angrily in a low voice.
Madam Xia: “…”
As if he understood what Lord Xia meant, he immediately pulled Xia Siya up and followed Lord Xia away.
When Prime Minister Zheng saw this, his eyes flashed.
Several other old foxes in the court also showed thoughtful expressions.
There was a hint of anger in Prince Rong's eyes.
The emperor is clearly favoring the Xia family!
The Xia family sided with the Su family in forcing the emperor, but the emperor easily sent them away, showing no intention of punishing them...
Prince Rong was furious when he thought about this.
However, Lord Xia took a few steps and came back.
"Your Majesty, I don't have enough manpower to investigate this case. If I send someone back to the capital to transfer more personnel, I'm afraid it will delay the progress of the case." Lord Xia said worriedly, "Therefore, I would like to borrow some manpower from General Yang..."
After Lord Xia finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Wu.
Moreover, he secretly winked at Yang Wu.
Yang Wu: “…”
Sir Xia, is your eye cramp?
Emperor Tianxi almost touched his forehead and wanted to turn his head away and pretend not to see it.
Do you think I'm blind?
When Lord Xia saw Yang Wu and found that he didn't understand what he meant, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Emperor Tianxi took a deep breath and said in a dignified voice, "In that case, the Yang Family Army will dispatch personnel to help Lord Xia investigate the case. We must get to the bottom of this as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Wu said instinctively.
After saying that, he stood up.
Then, I understood.
It has to be said that although their actions just now were impulsive, they were indeed ill-considered.
Not only is there suspicion of forcing the emperor, but it is also a blatant act of giving others a handle.
Even if the emperor wants to take it easy, people like Prince Rong's family may use this to make a fuss.
Yang Wu understood this and quickly signaled all the women in the general's mansion to get up and follow him.
The Second Madam and the others knelt down because of Yang Wu.
Now that Yang Wu has left, it is reasonable for them to follow him.
So, all the female members of the Yang family kowtowed to the emperor in silence and quietly left with Yang Wu.
At this point, is there anything Prince Rong doesn't understand?
Not only Prince Rong understood it, but everyone else understood it as well.
After all, there are fewer and fewer people kneeling on the ground.
Prince Rong rubbed his chest.
At this time, not only his legs hurt, but also his body, eye sockets, and heart hurt even more.
He risked being disrespectful to come to the audience, and his plan to kill the Su brothers and sisters and everyone in the general's mansion in one fell swoop was completely thwarted.
The emperor made it clear that he didn't want to pursue the matter.
Prince Rong had not expected that Emperor Tianxi would be so partial to Lord Xia and the General's Mansion.
Lord Xia is quite good.
Prince Rong thought that Emperor Tianxi had always been wary of the General's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, despite such a good opportunity, Emperor Tianxi did not punish the General's Mansion.
Once the emperor's attitude was revealed, no matter how much Prince Rong hated him, he had to give up.
However, he would not let the Su brothers and sisters go easily no matter what.
"Prince Rong was frightened this time, and it is understandable that he is in a disheveled state. I will not pursue the matter further. Go back and treat your wounds and rest." Emperor Tianxi said with a sympathetic expression.
Prince Rong quickly thanked him and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your consideration. However, as a subject, I should share Your Majesty's worries. Since Su Zhuangyuan is willing to accompany his sister to Northern Qi, I think this is a very good idea!"
Since you are opposing my Prince Rong's Mansion in every way, I will send you away!
As soon as Prince Rong finished speaking, he brought the topic back to the topic.
Fortunately, so many things happened today, and the style of painting has been constantly changing, so people have gotten used to it.
"As for the Crown Prince of Western Qin's proposal to marry the Princess, I believe this is also a happy event," Prince Rong continued. "This way, Great Yan will form alliances with Northern Qi and Western Qin, respectively. This is truly a double blessing!"
Double happiness bullshit!
Tang Bao rolled her eyes.
She finally realized that Prince Rong was determined to go against her family.
"Oh! Some people really stink!" Tang Bao said, "Dabai, cover your nose tightly, it stinks!"
Dabai: “…Roar!”
Prince Rong: “…”
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and his eyes were full of ferocity.
Now that the topic was back, naturally some ministers stood up and echoed Prince Rong's words.
"Your Majesty, I think what Prince Rong said is absolutely right!"
"Your Majesty, I second the motion!"
"emperor……"
Suddenly, more and more people seconded the motion.
After all, in their view, it was just marrying off two women, but in the end they could get so many benefits from it to Dayan, which was simply a huge profit.
As for what Western Qin said behind the scenes about taking the lead in attacking Northern Qi, let those two countries fight, and Dayan can just sit back and reap the benefits.
Many court officials thought so in their hearts, and their words became heated. They wished that Emperor Tianxi would immediately issue an edict to agree to the marriage proposal of Prince Mingxuan and Prince Xiao.
In this way, Dayan is simply invincible!
Naturally, there are also those who oppose it.
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zheng actually stood up and opposed Tang Bao's marriage.
Naturally, Prime Minister Zheng agreed with Princess Huaning's marriage.
After all, we can't offend both Western Qin and Northern Qi, right?
In that case, if these two countries unite, Dayan will be in trouble.
Tang Bao calculated and found that apart from her little brother and Prince Cheng'en, there was no one else who opposed the marriage between Princess Huaning and herself.
