"Your Majesty keeps saying that Fengming killed the prince of Di Kingdom, and keeps saying that your younger brother committed treason. Has Your Majesty ever thought about why Fengming killed the prince of Di Kingdom? And has your younger brother ever wanted to break his promise to Father King? Has he ever committed any act of treason?" Shang Xiye took two steps forward and stood in front of Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming, his voice booming: "Or perhaps, Your Majesty harbors resentment towards Father King for the matter of passing the throne back then, and therefore always fears and distrusts your younger brother!"
The matter of how the emperor passed the throne back then has always been an unsolved mystery among the court officials.
The veteran officials in the court all knew how much the late emperor favored the Ninth Prince, but on his deathbed, the late emperor suddenly passed the throne to the current emperor and personally conferred the title of Prince on the Ninth Prince.
Therefore, many people speculate that the Empress Dowager took advantage of the fact that the Ninth Prince had no mother and manipulated things while the late Emperor was seriously ill and weak. She even forced the late Emperor to change the edict of succession before passing the throne to the current emperor.
This has been a closely guarded secret since the emperor ascended the throne.
Now that Shang Xiye has suddenly brought up the matter of passing the throne back then in front of everyone, Shang Xiche is shocked, angry, and apprehensive.
He had Gao Chengwei put on this show simply to tell Shang Xiye that he was truly angry, and also to save face for himself in front of all the ministers and envoys.
He didn't actually dare to force the Ninth Prince, because the Ninth Prince had the late emperor's dying wish to save his life.
If he were to misbehave, and the Ninth Prince were to rebel, then it would be perfectly legitimate for him!
Shang Xiche was terrified and trembled with anger, but how could he possibly show weakness in front of so many people? If he did that, where would his imperial authority be?
"Since you don't ask why, I don't really care to tell you," Ji Fengming said casually as he walked over to Shang Xiye, a bag of fried peanuts in his hand. He tossed them into his mouth and chewed them with a roguish air. "But seeing how you heartless bastards are bullying my brother-in-law like this, I'll tell you all why I killed those enemy dogs."
The officials of the Great Zhao all covered their faces with their hands, unable to bear to look directly at them.
"Enemy country's dog," what a description... Emmmmmmm...
The Di envoys were all furious:
"What did you say!"
"How dare you speak so disrespectfully to us in front of the Emperor of Dazhao!"
"I might show some leniency to others, but to a bunch of treacherous dogs like you, I'll be quite rude. What, come and fight me if you dare!" Ji Fengming chewed on a peanut, his thuggish air radiating. "A bunch of useless barking idiots. Your dog prince tried to kill me and my sister, so it's only right that I kill him. If you're so capable, don't settle things with words. Come and fight me, one-on-one or a group fight, you can choose!"
The Di envoys: "..."
Their Prince Junyi, the first Baturu of the Di Kingdom in hunting, has been killed by this bandit.
Their Princess Ronghe was also the bravest woman on the grassland, and she was subdued in just two encounters;
This shows how fierce these bandits were!
How many punches could these old folks withstand from these bandits?
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who got into a fight with the Di prince over a prey, and you killed him in a fit of anger!" Shang Dongyang wouldn't give Ji Fengming a chance to defend himself. Disregarding his status, he blurted out the accusation: "I and dozens of my attendants all witnessed it with our own eyes!"
“Then you must be blind,” Ji Fengyao said, taking out a needle case from her sleeve (the space between the needles and the needles) and weighing it in her hand. “If the Crown Prince’s eye disease is serious, I can treat it for you for free.”
