Shang Xiche: "...?"
Are the bandits of the Great Zhao Dynasty really this audacious? They actually dare to openly challenge the Emperor.
All civil and military officials: "..."
We do not exist, we do not exist, we do not exist...
Seeing that Shang Xiye remained silent, he turned around and left with the little bandit.
Shang Xiche was furious: "Ninth Prince, you're so powerful...!"
“My princess is right, let’s save some face for Father. Today I returned victorious, and the Emperor was so happy that he took away my military power in his excitement.”
But if His Majesty is too pleased and insists on imprisoning me and my wife;
"I'm afraid that joyous occasions will turn into misfortune."
Shang Xiye didn't even turn his head. His cold and chilling voice echoed from the entrance of the main hall, sending shivers down the spines of all the civil and military officials present.
Shang Xiche seemed to have never seen such an arrogant person before, and was about to lash out again.
Chen Ziyun quickly whispered a reminder from the back hall: "Your Majesty."
Shang Xiche glanced down at Chen Ziyun, who was shaking her head at him, before giving up and glaring angrily at Eunuch De.
The eunuch De trembled with fright and quickly stepped forward with his whisk, shouting in a shrill voice, "If you have something to say, speak now; otherwise, leave!"
The ministers were speechless.
Unable to contain himself any longer, Wang Bingyao stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has returned to the capital in triumph today, but there are still a number of prisoners of the Di Kingdom's royal family outside who have not been settled."
"Do you need to teach me this?" Shang Xiche said fiercely, waving his hand and saying, "If there's nothing else, then leave. I will deal with the prisoners of the Di Kingdom myself!"
Wang Bingyao: "..."
The ministers: "..."
Those are prisoners of the enemy royal family; this is a matter of state!
The prisoners from Li Kingdom and Bei Kingdom were all settled by the current dynasty!
However, seeing Shang Xiche's gloomy expression and stubbornness, even the most obstinate old censor sensed Shang Xiche's abnormality and dared not offer any advice rashly.
So all the court officials silently left the hall, and the court session ended.
After leaving the Golden Palace.
The old official deliberately waited for Wang Bingyao. When Wang Bingyao approached, he asked with great distress, "Censor Wang, now that you have spoken, why don't you continue to offer your advice? The resettlement of these enemy prisoners is a major matter and should not be delayed any longer."
Wang Bingyao glared at the old censor:
You old fool, you're always so stubborn, why don't you open your mouth!
The old censor, failing to grasp the deeper meaning behind Wang Bingyao's glance, continued, "Censor Wang, how about we call upon the other officials and go to the Imperial Study to request an audience and offer some further advice to the Emperor?"
Wang Bingyao was thoroughly annoyed by these old officials who only talked big but never did anything practical, but out of colleague affection, he couldn't directly confront them.
Remembering the occasional new words that Wang An used, Wang Bingyao said impatiently, "My lord, the Emperor's uncle is here. Let's not risk our lives on this hot topic. Let's calm down for a couple of days and see what happens."
The old official was completely bewildered: "???"
The Emperor's maternal uncle?
All of the Empress Dowager's ancestors have died, so how did he come to be here?
Good heavens!
Could it be... that His Majesty has seen a ghost?
No wonder the Emperor looked so grumpy and had such a terrible temper today. He should probably just shut up!
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao had already arrived at the square.
Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao stepped forward with suspicion.
Ji Chenhai: "Xiao Jiu, Yao'er, why did you come out so quickly?"
"Let's go, father-in-law, let's talk about it back at the manor," Shang Xiye said calmly, without saying anything.
But everyone could see the anger and sadness hidden in his eyes.
