Chapter 949
The retired emperor gnashed his teeth in hatred, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. If he had 100,000 soldiers now, he would definitely kill all these scholars!
"Humph! You guys are supposed to be scholars, but I think you've read so much that you've become like dogs!"
"Do you know what the prince did? Not only did he massacre the people, but he also arrested the prefect of Juncheng!"
"Not only that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also demanded that the noble families of Juncheng hand over all of our account books, saying that the grain we sold was illegal and demanding we pay a fine!"
"Haha! Since when have we, the nobles, been forced to obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when doing business? Do we also have to be regulated by the imperial court when doing business?"
"Our goods are ours, we can sell them at any price we want. Even if he is the crown prince, he shouldn't interfere in our affairs!"
The nobles all spoke in a cold voice.
this......
The scholars who had been so self-righteous before were now all stunned. They had never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do such an outrageous thing!
"This...interfering in the business of aristocratic families is indeed a bit excessive. Moreover, he also arrested the prefect of Juncheng. This is also unreasonable!"
"I think His Royal Highness must have a reason. Why don't we wait for His Royal Highness to come out and listen to his explanation?"
The scholars spoke one after another.
"Hmph! I don't think this rebellious grandson dares to come out and explain himself! He's probably already mobilized his army and is ready to kill us all!"
The emperor said coldly.
This!
The expressions of the scholars and literati all changed drastically. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really did this, would he still be the righteous Crown Prince in their hearts?
The people watching around were also frightened and shrank their necks. The Jinyiwei dared to massacre more than a thousand people, so it would be no problem for Qin Yu's army to kill these people!
You can kill the emperor and officials today, and you can kill them next time!
"Haha! Who says this prince doesn't dare to come out and explain? As the saying goes, a man with an upright character fears no crooked shadow. This prince acts uprightly and walks the right path, so he has no fear of others' doubts!"
Qin Yu walked out with a sneer.
When the emperor saw Qin Yu, he and Shangguan Wan'er smiled at each other, knowing that they had guessed right. Qin Yu would not dare to massacre them in front of so many people!
"Hmph! Rebellious grandson! You acted uprightly and righteously! How dare you say that? Then tell me why you massacred over a thousand civilians!"
The emperor said coldly.
"Which eye of yours saw me slaughtering civilians?"
Qin Yu asked rhetorically.
"You! You rebellious grandson! How dare you speak to the Emperor like that? Everyone, look! This is the Crown Prince you consider both virtuous and talented! And you're talking to your own grandfather like that!"
The emperor was so angry that he was shaking and shouting.
The scholars looked at the emperor as if he were an idiot. With a grandfather like you, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good temper. If it were us, we would have beaten you to death long ago!
The Emperor roared for a long time, and when no one paid any attention to him, he continued, "There are still over a thousand bodies lying in the prefectural yamen. Those people were all common people working in the homes of aristocratic families. Do you dare to say that those people were not killed by the Jinyiwei?"
"You secretly set up the Imperial Guards and gave them the power to execute first and report later. How bold! Does your father know about this? You are a rebellious and unfilial grandson!"
