Now the entire capital city is almost blocked. He can't run away even if he wants to. His head hangs on his neck every day. He is nervous every time he goes to court, for fear that if he is not careful, he will immediately become the 225th head.
So when the emperor heard about Prince Li's rebellion, the first thing he did was to call his name. It's really not his fault that the first thing he did was to distance himself from Prince Li, and then speak well of him. It's because... there are still dozens of people in his Ye family who want to survive. He doesn't deserve to be called a good uncle!
Qian Yeming glanced at Ye Lixuan and said coldly, "Stand up and talk."
"..." Ye Lixuan wanted to say he didn't dare, but after thinking about it, he immediately stood up. Having served as an official for many years, he knew that at this moment, a vulnerable person like him could only follow the emperor's wishes, and perhaps the result would be better.
"I'm asking you, has His Royal Highness's brain been fine during this time?"
“…”
Ye Lixuan pouted, his whole body shaking. Forgive this old man's inability to think straight, but he really didn't know how to respond to this question!
Did the Emperor mean to make him admit that Prince Li was mentally ill so that he could spare his life?
Impossible!
Ye Lixuan thought for a long time, but he didn't dare to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Yesterday morning, when His Royal Highness Prince Li was in court, his mind was perfectly clear. How come last night, his mind suddenly became blurry and he went looking for the people of the Divine Religion? Not only did he go to the Divine Religion, but he also told them that he was planning a rebellion and even asked them to join him in the rebellion. This doesn't make sense, does it?"
Ye Lixuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately flattered, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The other ministers were also moved by the emperor's eagerness to uphold justice. They all stepped out and praised him, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The two high priests' faces darkened again.
However, the two of them came to be friends with Qian Yeming. Compared to achieving enlightenment and becoming immortals in the future, enduring a little humiliation now is a piece of cake.
The High Priest of Light chuckled and said, "The Emperor is indeed a man of broad mind. No wonder the Emperor's Planet is so brilliant."
"Long live the emperor!" The ministers in the hall once again took every opportunity to flatter him.
After everyone finished flattering him, the High Priest of Light continued, "Although the Emperor has a broad mind, it doesn't mean His Royal Highness Prince Li does. My Divine Cult is entrusted by the gods, so how could we speak so arrogantly?
His Royal Highness Prince Li did come to see us yesterday. At that time, we saw that His Royal Highness Prince Li had ill intentions and was worried about not having any gifts to congratulate the emperor on his ascension to the throne, so we took advantage of the situation and agreed to His Royal Highness Prince Li's proposal.
His Royal Highness Prince Li had no suspicion of the truth and considered the Divine Cult his ally, so he revealed all the details of his power and the plot to force the emperor to abdicate.
After the High Priest of Light finished speaking, the High Priest of Punishment immediately added, "Humph, how can our Divine Religion be a place where others can arbitrarily collude with us, form alliances with us, and do things that defy the will of Heaven?
Our Divine Religion has always adhered to the Way of Heaven. We do whatever Heaven tells us to do. How could we allow an ordinary person to use us to deal with a true emperor planet? "
The words of punishing the high priest undoubtedly belittled King Li and were too high for himself and the emperor.
He thought that his words would definitely win Qian Yeming's favor. But Qian Yeming didn't say anything, and one of the ministers suddenly said "shameless"!
The pupils of the Punishment High Priest suddenly shrank as he looked at the minister. The minister, who was not far away from him, suddenly felt anxious, short of breath, and chest tightness.
