Chapter 303: People Impeach the King of Yan
Looking through the curling hot air at Chu Nanyue whose face was radiant with brilliance across from him, Tiemu's hands hidden under the table couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone has his or her own white moonlight. Chu Nanyue may not know that the brief encounter made her the eternal white moonlight in Tiemu's heart, the white moonlight buried deep in his heart.
"Wow... What a new way of eating this? The meat is smooth and not greasy, and melts in your mouth, so delicious!" Qin Yu dared to pick up his chopsticks only after seeing King Yan pick up his chopsticks, but he couldn't help but praise after taking the first bite.
Tiemu said: "The Princess of Yan is really an extraordinary woman, she can handle everything from the living room to the kitchen."
Jiuzhen said: "No wonder it is so popular in the capital, the method is simple and quick, but the variety is complete, it is really fresh."
Afterwards, she and Ruyi looked at each other, put down their chopsticks in tacit understanding, and turned to Qin Yu who was busy cooking hot pot and said seriously: "Master, we want to join a Cang Yue hot pot restaurant in Beijing. What do you think?"
Qin Yu also put down his chopsticks immediately. He naturally knew what she meant, and immediately replied loudly: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I fully support it. Zhen'er just let it go and do it. I will send someone to contact the owner of Cang Yue Hot Pot Restaurant now."
Xiao Hanye nodded with satisfaction. Good, a practical man.
Jiuzhen felt warm in her heart and stopped him, saying, "Thank you for your support, Master, but you don't have to worry about opening a store. Sister Princess will help us."
When Princess Yan led them to prepare the ingredients just now, she had already told them a general idea. Although she did not explain it in detail, everything depends on human effort.
She must hold up the sky for those suffering women.
Qin Yu and Tiemu immediately stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess!"
Xiao Hanye said, "We are eating, don't stand up all the time!"
Chu Nanyue said: "It's okay, please don't be polite, it's just a small favor."
Xiao Hanye chuckled: "Are you not in a hurry to return to Beijing?"
Chu Nanyue chuckled: "It will only take ten days or half a month, there is no rush. If Your Majesty is in a hurry, you can go back first. When I am done, I can go back by myself!"
Tiemu immediately stood up and said, "When the time comes, I will escort the princess..." After that, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he added, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will protect the princess with my life!"
He was not worried about anything. Although Tiemu was ordered to get married, he still kept looking at his princess. If there was no dirty look in his eyes, he would have killed him with a sword.
"No need, there is no major matter in the capital that needs my attention, I can always stay with my beloved concubine!"
But soon, news of his dereliction of duty in Jingzhou spread to the court in the capital...
The emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne with a frown on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with the news.
Prime Minister Shen Quan stepped forward and said righteously, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan is of royal blood and shoulders great responsibility, but he openly neglected his duties in Jingzhou. This is extremely disrespectful. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to immediately recall the Prince of Yan and severely punish him to serve as a warning to others."
After the tragic death of his young son Shen Hui at the hands of Chu Zixun, and the brutal treatment he received from the King of Yan last time, the two had completely fallen out.
He was the head of all officials. When he said this, he was immediately echoed by many court officials, all of whom were members of Prince Ning's party.
Xu Ming, the Minister of Rites, echoed, "Your Majesty the Prince of Yan is in charge of the 300,000-man Beilin army. He should have returned to the capital immediately after the bandit suppression was completed. However, he neglected his duty and stayed in Jingzhou for fun. I hope Your Majesty will punish him severely."
Yao Wenhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Yan brought his wife with him to suppress the bandits..."
As soon as he said this, it immediately caused an uproar.
"What? He brought a woman with him to suppress the bandits? The King of Yan is really obsessed with sex and money!"
"That's right. Even though the King of Yan is extremely brave, it's really ridiculous for him to bring a woman with him!"
......
Everyone was criticizing King Yan, and the once clean court became like a bustling vegetable market.
The emperor was furious when he saw this. He picked up the inkstone and threw it heavily onto the table: "What a noise! Shut up!"
He looked at nearly one-third of the court officials impeaching the Prince of Yan, and his brows furrowed even deeper. It was true that he was angry with the Prince of Yan, but it was also true that he disliked factions in the court. But now, the Ning Wang faction was getting more and more impatient...
Prince Ning's party is the party of Queen Yao, and the forces behind them are intertwined...
Xiao Yihang echoed, "That's right, all of you shut up, Father. You are all appointed officials of the imperial court. Why do you quarrel like ignorant women when you encounter something? How can this be decent? Isn't it, Father?"
The old emperor looked at him with a playful smile on his face and said unhappily, "You also shut up!"
"Father..." Xiao Yihang wanted to say something, but was held down by Xiao Jun'an, "Seventh brother!"
Although Xiao Jun'an was not his brother from the same mother, he had taken good care of him since he was a child, so Xiao Yihang did not say anything else.
Seeing that Xiao Yihang did not speak again, Xiao Jun'an stepped forward and said, "Father, my fourth brother has always been a cautious person. He arrived in Jingzhou and successfully suppressed the bandits in just half a day. This achievement is enough to show his ability and sense of responsibility. I believe that he must have his considerations and plans for staying in Jingzhou with Princess Yan. Please wait for him to come back and listen to what he has to say before making a decision!"
After hearing his words, the emperor's expression relaxed a little. He looked at him deeply, and the scale in his heart couldn't help but shift a few points towards him.
Xiao Jun'an has always been calm, sensible, and knows how to take the overall situation into consideration. This kind of broad-mindedness of his is something that even he, who has lived for most of his life, does not possess.
"Your Majesty, what Prince Yu said is absolutely right. Prince Yan is definitely not someone who neglects his duties. I hope Your Majesty will look closely at this matter." At this time, a white-haired old minister stood up and echoed.
This old minister was a well-known peacemaker in the court. It was rare for him to stand up and speak for Prince Yan, but the old emperor did not take his words seriously at all.
At this moment, a sharp voice rang out in the court: "You only know how to criticize the Prince of Yan, but no one volunteered to go and suppress the bandits when Jingzhou sent a document to the court. Otherwise, why would His Majesty send the newly married Prince of Yan?!"
As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent, and even the old emperor couldn't help but flicker his eyebrows.
Because the King of Yan used the Seventh Prince to set him up, he deliberately separated him and his newlywed princess...
But after the Minister of Justice said this, it seemed like he had no choice but to do so...
The Minister of Justice in front of him was also a man who was used to smoothing things over, but he was different from the old man with white beard just now. Although they were both old men, he was a stubborn old man because there were times when he would not smooth things over. As long as he did not smooth things over, what he said would be well-reasoned and there would be no room for rebuttal.
Just like four years ago, he was willing to crash his head against the imperial pillar in order to prevent his son from becoming a cuckold...
Who wouldn't be afraid of such a ruthless person who has no evidence against him?
"You all just follow the crowd and criticize the King of Yan. I would like to ask you, do you know why the King of Yan was able to successfully suppress the bandits in less than half a day and rescue all 21 hostages?
You know, if he was negligent in his duty, why didn't the King of Yan choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but stayed in the remote Jingzhou with a legitimate handle?"
