Chapter 150: Family and Country as One, Honor and Disgrace Shared
Emperor Luo: (òó)
What?
Nangong Yu actually openly looked for other girls. What on earth did he want to do? Where does this put the imperial sister?
If he hadn't attended the morning court today, he would have grabbed him by the collar and beaten him up. He dared to let the imperial sister down and made him pay!
Oops, that's not right.
The name Zhao Linger sounds so familiar.
Emperor Luo lowered his eyes and recalled.
Damn, isn’t Zhao Linger the sweetheart of Nangong Yu’s silly elder brother Nangong Liu?
Shit, it turns out this girl came here on her own initiative.
Luo Ranran blinked her big eyes.
[Huh?] Could it be that my uncle has reached menopause? His temper changes from time to time, and then he becomes calm again. He is so unpredictable.
Emperor Luo: “…”
When the civil and military officials heard what Naituanzi was saying, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
If they saw correctly, Princess Zhaoyang clearly did not open her mouth to speak, but why could they hear her baby voice?
Could it be that this is the princess’s true feelings? ! !
Oh my God, they could actually hear the princess’s inner voice. It was so magical and exciting.
Zhao Linger looked at Luo Ranran with gratitude, then her expression became serious and her tone became affirmative.
"In reply to Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I hope Your Majesty will look into this matter carefully and clear my father's name. He..."
At this point, Zhao Linger's eyes were red, and every word she spoke was tearful, "Father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, selfless, frugal and caring for the people, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to Tianqi, without any selfish motives.
But because of this, my father was hated by some people, and also because he knew some dirty things that were unknown to the public.
He was falsely accused of treason.
In order to prevent my father from coming to the imperial city to seek redress for himself, the man behind the scenes sent a large number of assassins to kill everyone in the Zhao family.
Our family has been accused of fleeing for fear of crime and has been despised by the people. It is truly hateful, shameful and pathetic! ”
Zhao Linger's sad yet determined words continued to echo in the Golden Palace.
The civil and military officials all had complicated expressions.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should believe it or not?
Luo Ranran pouted and snorted coldly.
[Zhao Kang, the prefect of Zhao, is loyal, kind, upright, loves the people like his own children, and is selfless. He is considered a rare loyal minister in the Tianqi Kingdom. 】
[It is a great regret for Tianqi to lose him. 】
[Humph, Governor Zhao, who should have been shining in his position, was falsely accused of treason just because he blocked the interests of certain people. It is simply hateful and he deserves to be put to death! 】
Hearing Naituanzi's angry, baby voice, all the civil and military officials tensed up instantly, not daring to utter a word, for fear of incurring Naituanzi's wrath.
There was no other reason. Before this, they didn't believe that Zhao Kang was framed.
There was a cold light in Emperor Luo's eyes.
Ten years ago, he was still the crown prince. His father was in poor health at that time and was unable to handle many things.
At that time, he and his father did not believe that Zhao Kang would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. They originally thought of having Zhao Kang and his family brought to the imperial city and interrogated them personally.
However, it wasn't long before news came that Zhao Kang's family was afraid and fled.
My father was so angry about the loss of three cities that he lay in bed sick.
While he was acting on behalf of his father in government affairs, he also had to compete with Luo Fangjin in a battle of wits and courage. He was completely overwhelmed and wished he could split himself into several people to use.
At that time, the court was in chaos, people were divided, various factions formed, and the atmosphere was chaotic.
The matter of Zhao Kang ended in nothing.
Emperor Luo sighed deeply, his expression complicated and his heart filled with mixed feelings. To be honest, it was also his fault that he did not have the iron-blooded wrist and the brain to strategize.
"Zhao Linger, do you know the person behind the false accusation against your father?"
Zhao Linger gritted her teeth, anger flashing across her eyes.
"In reply to the emperor, I know that person is in the court right now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials were in an uproar.
A hint of cruelty flashed across Li Guchi's eyes, and he winked at the other general without making any expression.
The general's expression was troubled. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Your Majesty, it has been ten years since Zhao Kang's incident. We cannot easily convict him based on this girl's one-sided statement."
"Also, this girl keeps saying that she is Zhao Kang's daughter. Can she provide evidence to prove that she is Zhao Kang's daughter?"
Emperor Luo smiled coldly.
His court, the center of power, even after being cleaned many times, there was always some garbage floating around in it.
Luo Ranran looked straight at the person who spoke, her eyes full of sarcasm and disdain.
[Tsk tsk, who did you think it was? The words were so shameless. It turned out that it was Bu Yaolian who sent his own sister to someone else's bed in order to please his boss. 】
Bu Yao Lian: (dish) 3
Princess Zhaoyang...how does she...know what he has done?
Phew!
The civil and military officials couldn't help laughing out loud.
Bu Yaolian, you are so shameless!
Li Guchi gritted his teeth and glared at Bu Yaolian, "Useless thing, your mission has failed. But don't talk nonsense anymore, lest you implicate him."
[Bu Yaolian, Bu Yaolian, you may not know yet, but your boss, whom you tried so hard to please, not only slept with your wife, but also planned to push you out to take the blame. 】
[If I remember correctly, the supplies that were about to be sent to the border had already been embezzled. The food in them was all old and infested with insects and could no longer be eaten. The clothes were not filled with cotton but straw. The weapons were not the latest ones but the ones that had been replaced and eliminated...]
Emperor Luo and all the civil and military officials pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Naituanzi was saying. The more they listened, the uglier their expressions became.
Now, the border is in crisis.
The Dayang Kingdom is coming with great force, and now is the time to go all out. At this critical juncture, no mistakes can be made.
And today's court meeting.
It is precisely because they need to discuss which people to send to the border to fight against the soldiers of Dayang Kingdom, but it has not been decided until now.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, some people completely disregarded Tianqi's safety for their own interests.
Family and country are one, and we share honor and disgrace. Doesn't he understand this truth?
Bu Daolian broke out in a cold sweat. He was angry that his wife had cheated on him, and also angry at Li Guchi for being so cruel.
Over the years, he has been fawning over him in everything.
Even this batch of military supplies was embezzled by him because of his busy work, and he himself only embezzled a small amount.
But he didn't expect that he would push him out to take the blame. This would not only cost him his life, but also the lives of his entire clan.
“Plop!”
Bu Yaolian fell heavily to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I…"
"General Bu!" Li Guchi shouted, interrupting Bu Taolian. He saw that Bu Taolian's eyes were wide open with a look of disappointment.
"General Bu, please be careful with your words. This is the court, not your residence. Please don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Bu Yaolian: “…”
[Yo yo yo, is this considered a desperate move? Or an open threat? 】
Li Gucci's expression suddenly changed.
Damn Princess Zhaoyang, how come she knows everything?
