Chapter 1183: Exposing Prince Rong’s Intentions
After hearing the Queen Mother's voice, many court officials calmed down.
They don't have to worry too much.
The Great Yan Kingdom had been established for hundreds of years, and the emperor was not incompetent.
Even if the imperial seal was lost, it would not be enough to overthrow the Great Yan Dynasty.
Although, there will definitely be some people who will take advantage of the situation and commit acts of rebellion.
We are all smart people.
When Prince Rong exposed the imperial seal in public, everyone could guess with a little thought that there might be other intentions.
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Emperor Tianxi pondered for a moment and said, "Prince Rui intended to rebel and sent people to steal the imperial seal. Later, Prince Rui was defeated and the imperial seal disappeared."
Emperor Tianxi explained how the imperial seal was lost in just a few simple words.
"So it was Prince Rui who was behind this!" Prince Cheng'en grumbled, "I've always disliked that old fellow. He always pretends to be loyal, righteous, filial, and fraternal. On the surface, he's more loyal than anyone else, but in reality, he's the most hypocritical and cunning!"
After Prince Cheng'en finished speaking, he glanced at Prince Rong without any concealment.
Then, he added with a hint of meaning, "Now it seems that some people have the same idea as Prince Rui, and want to use the jade seal as an excuse to cause trouble!"
Following Prince Cheng'en's gaze, many people also secretly looked towards Prince Rong.
Prince Rong was so angry that his face turned ashen and his rage was rising, but he forced himself to hold it in.
Anyway, King Cheng'en didn't mention anyone by name. If he retorted, it would probably play into King Cheng'en's hands and he might say something unpleasant.
Prince Rong didn't want to admit that he was a little scared when he met Prince Cheng'en, who was so reckless but dared to say anything.
Tang Bao sighed and said, "Prince Cheng'en has such a good character. No wonder God gave him a son, so that he could pass on Prince Cheng'en's good qualities of insight, courage, and hatred of evil."
Tang Bao's voice was not loud at first, but since no one was talking, many people heard it.
Among them was King Cheng'en.
King Cheng'en is happy!
So happy!
Although he was certain that Concubine Liu was pregnant with a son, he was completely relieved only after hearing Tang Bao say this.
"Hahahaha... I heard that the little genius doctor's mouth is blessed!" King Cheng'en said loudly with a red face, "Since the little genius doctor said so, God will definitely give me a son to inherit my incense, hahahaha..."
A group of court officials: "..."
Show off, keep showing off!
However, is this little princess's mouth really blessed?
joke!
She's just a little girl, and someone is deliberately praising her.
The vast majority of court officials did not believe what King Cheng'en said.
He even secretly thought that if Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter in the future, he would see how Prince Cheng'en and this little princess would embarrass him!
King Cheng'en didn't care what others thought and was happy on his own.
When Prince Rong saw Prince Cheng'en's appearance, he wanted to go to the Buddha immediately to burn three incense sticks and pray to the Buddha to bless Concubine Liu to have a daughter in her belly!
"People as loyal, brave and insightful as your Highness will naturally be favored by God." Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes... God will surely bless this prince!" Prince Cheng'en nodded repeatedly and said, "Unlike some people, who clearly knew about the Jade Seal, a matter that was crucial to the stability of the country, yet the Emperor kept it a secret, yet he deliberately revealed it in public. What was he thinking? Did he think no one else knew?"
"Humph! Isn't it just a plan to use this opportunity to make the world question the emperor, destabilize the emperor's throne, and then replace him? It's simply Sima Zhao's intention!"
"You're talking nonsense! This is pure slander!" Prince Rong pointed at Prince Cheng'en and shouted angrily, "This prince is loyal to the emperor and has no second thoughts. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"
Prince Rong now wished he could skin Prince Cheng'en alive immediately.
This King Cheng'en is simply his nemesis!
Originally, the tense atmosphere had eased because of King Cheng'en's laughter.
Now, King Cheng'en's words brought the tense atmosphere back again.
Prince Rong no longer had any reason to convince himself that Prince Cheng'en did not mention any names.
If he doesn't speak up, his guilt will be confirmed.
"You're a fool!" Prince Cheng'en said gruffly, "If you had no ulterior motives, you would have privately informed the Emperor about this. Why would you deliberately reveal it to others? Do you think everyone else is a fool?"
If we say that King Cheng'en used to speak more tactfully at the beginning, now he is very straightforward.
King Cheng'en was very straightforward and exposed the thoughts hidden in the hearts of many court officials.
As soon as Prince Cheng'en finished speaking, someone from the Censorate came out to impeach Prince Rong.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong's words and actions were inappropriate. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. I think this should be investigated thoroughly!" Censor Lin said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Prince Rong pleaded in a panic, saying, "I am simply worried that if the Imperial Seal is truly not in Your Majesty's hands, and Your Majesty gives the Heaven-shaking Bow to the Third Prince, Your Majesty will no longer have the imperial token. What if..."
Prince Rong paused here and glanced at Xuanyuan Jin.
Then, he made up his mind and said, "If the Yang family gathers their own troops and uses the appeal of the Zhentian Bow to support the Third Prince in forcing the emperor to abdicate and seize power, Your Majesty will be in a precarious situation..."
"Bullshit!" Before Prince Rong could finish, Yang Wu jumped up and cursed loudly, "My father has already handed over most of the military power. How can he still hold his own?"
"The Third Prince is the son of a dragon and a phoenix, and has always been extremely filial to the Emperor. How could he possibly force the palace to rebel?"
"Our General's Mansion is loyal to the Emperor, and the Third Prince is even more devoted to him. Stop sowing discord!"
"Prince Rong, you say this because you are guilty and trying to cover up your rebellious intentions!"
Yang Wu's furious words were directed directly at Prince Rong's face.
Prince Rong naturally refused to admit it, and said with a sinister expression: "General Shenwu not only has military power in his hands, but also gold mines. Fengqi County is far away from the emperor, and I don't know how much gold he has embezzled. It's possible that he has been secretly recruiting soldiers!"
Prince Rong finished speaking, looked at Emperor Tianxi, and said loyally and courageously: "Your Majesty, everything I did was for Your Majesty. Emperors throughout the dynasties have never lost their imperial seals, but it happened to Your Majesty that the imperial seal was stolen by a traitor."
"If this happens, the Emperor will lose the Imperial Seal. Rumors will inevitably spread, causing unrest in the court, and the people will question the Emperor..."
In fact, after all, Prince Rong still wants to divert people's attention to the dragon throne under Emperor Tianxi's buttocks.
For Prince Rong, the Sky-shaking Bow is now just a tool that can be used.
I have to say that Prince Rong succeeded.
Prince Rong spoke all the words that were unfavorable to the emperor with an expression that showed he was only thinking about the emperor, and brought out the most hidden suspicion in the hearts of everyone present that the emperor was not worthy of his position.
