Chapter 44: Recruiting troops and plotting to usurp the throne



Jiang Yueyang stood on tiptoe and looked forward in confusion, [What happened in front? Why is the third prince smiling so happily? Is he having an erotic dream?]

The third prince's face turned dark instantly, and now it was Minister Jiang's turn to cover his mouth and laugh.

Others couldn't help laughing as well.

As long as you don't eat their melons, it's still quite fun.

Emperor Yuan coughed awkwardly twice and started to divert everyone's attention, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Yueyang looked at Wei Yushi and saw that he was in a daze. She couldn't help but complain to Xiaogua: "Xiaogua, didn't you say that Lord Wei was not afraid of power? I threw a ball of paper at him, why didn't he impeach Prince Rong?"

And Kong Jijiu, didn't he want to give my brother justice? Why hasn't he said a word yet? Sure enough, these people are just in name only, and they still cowardly at the critical moment. 】

Kong Jijiu, who was about to step out, said: Can't you wait patiently?

Lord Wei was brought back to his senses by Jiang Yueyang's scolding voice. He really wanted to say to her, "I am not a coward!"

Kong Jijiu came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. The Imperial College has recently been involved in a plagiarism incident. The person involved, Prince Rong, has admitted that he had someone steal the poem of Jiang Xun, the son of Minister Jiang, and then turned around and slandered Jiang Xun for plagiarism.

This is a despicable act, intended to ruin someone's future, and is not the behavior of a gentleman. I think that Prince Rong is not suitable to continue studying at the Imperial Academy, and I will expel him. Your Majesty, please be informed."

Originally, Kong Jijiu could make the decision on his own to expel students who made mistakes, without going through Emperor Yuan.

But since the person involved was a member of the royal family, he thought it would be better to inform Emperor Yuan.

It is about notification, not seeking consent.

Emperor Yuan understood what he meant.

At this time, Lord Wei also came out and said, "I second the motion. Yesterday afternoon, someone threw a note into my residence, saying that the prince of Rong beat up a classmate and nearly killed him. After I sent someone out to investigate, I confirmed that this was true.

The prince has brutally murdered his classmates, has no regard for the law, and has no intention of repenting. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty, please give justice to the beaten students to calm the people's hearts. "

Prince Rong is the biological brother of Emperor Yuan and the most beloved youngest son of the current Empress Dowager.

Not only can he live in the capital for a long time, but he can also enter and leave the palace at will.

Emperor Yuan intended to punish Yuan Sheng, but the Empress Dowager would definitely make a fuss.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan was silent, Jiang Yueyang frowned and said to the system: [Your Majesty is not speaking, could it be that you want to protect Prince Rong? ]

[It's possible. After all, they are a family. ]

[But didn’t you say that His Majesty is a wise ruler? ]

System: [That was a major event. Besides, it is impossible for a wise ruler to never make mistakes.]

[How can this be! ]

Lord Wei also felt that this was not right, so he knelt down and pleaded loudly: "Your Majesty, please severely punish Prince Rong!"

As the voice of Lord Wei, the highest official of the Censorate, fell, all the censors attending the court today knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please severely punish Prince Rong."

Emperor Yuan glanced at the censor kneeling on the ground and asked expressionlessly, "What did the person involved say?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all civil and military officials knew that Emperor Yuan had no intention of severely punishing Prince Rong.

Jiang Yueyang also heard it, [I am so angry, Your Majesty is such a bastard! ]

The scolded Emperor Yuan dared not say a word.

The third prince was extremely excited and at the same time he was extremely envious of Jiang Yueyang. He also wanted to scold his father in person.

Or it's the kind that lets the person involved hear it but there's nothing we can do about it!

The system said: [Alas~ Your Majesty is really not smart! Others are secretly recruiting troops and preparing to usurp the throne, but he is still here thinking about the relationship between brothers. ]

Emperor Yuan:!!!

Civil and Military Officials: !!!

Prince Rong’s followers: Damn it!

Jiang Yueyang snorted coldly: [Serves you right! Leaving a vassal king in the capital is obviously an invitation for him to rebel, isn't it? ]

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Lord Wei seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what the person involved says, it is a fact that Prince Rong injured someone. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"

This time, Emperor Yuan did not favor Prince Rong, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Prince Rong has a bad moral character. He will be stripped of his title, given 20 strokes of the cane, and expelled from the Imperial College as a student to serve as a warning to others."

Jiang Yueyang was happy, but also confused. Didn’t His Majesty just want to show favoritism?

Did I wrong him?

Civil and military officials: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Jiang Yueyang mistakenly thought that she had just wronged Yuan Zhong and felt guilty, so she wanted to make amends.

So, she asked: [Xiaogua, are there any accomplices of Prince Rong here? ]

[Yes, Mr. Zhou from the Ministry of War and Mr. Qi from the Ministry of Personnel.]

The two adults who were named instantly looked pale, it was all over.

Jiang Yueyang didn't know him, but that didn't stop her from asking: [How many soldiers did Prince Rong recruit? Where are they? ]

[One hundred thousand, in the valley of Xinghua Village in Yongzhou. Is the host asking this to remind your Majesty? ]

Jiang Yueyang nodded secretly, "Although His Majesty is not very good, he is still a good emperor. The most important thing is that if Prince Rong succeeds in usurping the throne, our family will definitely die."

Emperor Yuan: So you are worried about the lives of your family?
