Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 376; Court Meeting (Part )
"Should I say it or not, although these old men don't like these poor people, what they said today is still very reasonable."

Ning Guogong also stood up and directly expressed his support for the officials of the gentry faction.

Over the years, his family has made a lot of money relying on Huo Junyao's guidance, and all the boys in the family have already prepared the money they will need to spend in the future.

But it severely solved the problem that he had suffered for many years.

He was grateful to Princess Zhaode from the bottom of his heart. Of course, in addition to helping him make money, it was more because he admired Princess Zhaode very much.

Take a look at the things people do, which one is not beneficial to the country and the people?
In terms of food, the corn and potatoes produced by others have now been widely spread. How many people have been helped?

Even the armies of all parties are now not short of food and grass. How big of a problem does this solve for the country?

Secondly, there is the company Hot Spring Villa. Although she started it to make money, after it was rolled out, it also gave many people across the country an extra livelihood.

She is also a girl. If she were a boy, even a first-class Duke might not be able to measure it.

Although he, Cheng Yong, is a rough man, he admires capable people the most.

Princess Zhaode was so capable at such a young age, and she was still a woman, which made him even more impressed.

Therefore, when Meng Xuancheng impeached her, even though the people who stood up to refute Meng Xuancheng were those annoying guys from the gentry, he still sided with the gentry.

"I said, old man Meng, just get rid of this mouth. What are you capable of?"

"You can just impeach others. How much has Princess Zhaode done for our Yu Dynasty? Are you qualified to impeach others?"

"Do you have more achievements than others?"

Regarding Meng Xuancheng, Ning Guogong Cheng Yong was not used to seeing it.

Apart from having a mouth, it has basically no other uses. It also carries a pretentious attitude all day long, acting like something else.

"She has made a lot of achievements. I don't deny this, but having many achievements does not mean that she can ignore everything."

"His Royal Highness is certainly at fault for what happened this time, but for her to incite the people as a minister would be treason."

As soon as the words "treason and immorality" came out, Huo Jingzhi, Duke of Ji, could no longer calm down.

Just kidding, you can't be charged with such a crime as treason.

"Mr. Meng, you said that the daughter of a lower official is inciting the people. Do you have any evidence?"

Huo Jingzhi stood up, and everyone in the audience fell silent. Meng Xuancheng, who was still a little emotional, also calmed down at this time.

Thinking back to what I just said, my heart sank.

Why couldn't you control your nonsense just because of the old man Ning Guogong's words?

Speaking of which, he would be the first to stand up to impeach Princess Zhaode today. In fact, he just wanted to try his best to protect the prince, and he did not really intend to target Huo Junyao.

In fact, he had already noticed that the emperor wanted to depose the prince.

But his attitude is a little different from others. Although the prince does have some shortcomings, as the eldest son, according to the rules, the prince's position should be his.

As long as he has not done anything heinous or treasonous, the position of the prince cannot be deposed casually.

This is for the sake of his father and ancestors, and has nothing to do with other reasons.

But when he was interrupted by the old man Ning Guogong just now, he said some things that he shouldn't have said. Now the problem is a bit difficult to deal with.

If you don't do it right, you'll offend a lot of people.

Especially now that Ji Guogong did not shy away from suspicion and directly stood up to refute, and Fang Qiao was also watching eagerly.

In addition to these two old colleagues and friends, there is another person who gives him a headache, and that is Huo Junyao, the owner of Princess Zhaode.

This girl is not someone to be trifled with, and her mouth is very powerful. "The people who caused the unrest this time are all workers under the name of Hot Spring Villa Company, so..."

"So, my daughter is the leader of the Hot Spring Villa, and she is the one who instigated those people?"

Huo Jingzhi directly blocked Meng Xuancheng's words and continued to ask, "Mr. Meng, you must first understand one thing. Those common people are the common people of the Yu Dynasty first, and then the workers of the Hot Spring Villa."

"And after the incident, I also went to find out that they were not incited by others, but were worried that their livelihoods would be destroyed, so they went to the local government office to protest."

"This is also clearly stated in the petitions of local officials everywhere."

"Mr. Meng, although you are the censor and have the right to hear and report things, it does not mean that you can spread rumors randomly."

Meng Xuancheng was immediately blocked by his words, unable to refute.

In fact, Meng Xuancheng also knew in his heart that he had just said the wrong thing.

However, Huo Jingzhi did not stop yet, but looked at the ministers and then bowed his hands to Emperor Zhaowu.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I believe you all know that Princess Zhaode has been living outside the city for many years, rarely going out, and has never taken the initiative to make friends with the powerful people in the court. Do you think it is possible to say that she is treasonous?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

This is not easy to answer.

Although they all knew that Princess Zhaode was indeed as Huo Jingzhi said, living in seclusion and had no contact with the powerful people of the court.

But after all, she knows people but not hearts. Who knows if she has some plans in mind?
Although the ministers did not answer, Emperor Zhaowu was still very considerate.

"What Mr. Ji Guo said is true. Zhao De is a man. I know very well that the impeachment of Mr. Wei just now was inappropriate."

As soon as he said this, Meng Xuancheng didn't refute any more, and walked down the steps and retreated from the queue.

"Princess Zhaode has devoted a lot to our Yu Dynasty, and I trust her very much."

"There is no need to mention this matter again."

As soon as he said this, everyone was very sensible and stopped talking about it.

Then, the dinner began, and the nobles stood up first, saying that people everywhere in the world were in a state of excitement and urgently needed the court's plan to eliminate them.

One person took the lead, and others immediately followed, and the sharpness of their words were directed at His Royal Highness.

As more and more people came forward to ask the prince to come forward, the people of the King of Qi and the King of Chu also began to take action.

Emperor Zhaowu remained silent throughout the whole process, and the prince did not refute. After all, he had already expected this scene.

After being anxious all night, when he actually faced this scene, he felt much calmer and calmer.

When you see the people below, you have said everything you need to say, and those who need to perform have also finished their performances.

Emperor Zhaowu coughed lightly, and the whole place fell silent.

"Prince, do you have anything to say?"

He looked at the prince, his face was calm, his tone was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.

When the prince heard his question, he already understood it in his heart. He didn't defend himself anymore, but just walked out and bowed down.

"This time it is indeed my son's problem. I am too eager for quick success and resorted to some unscrupulous means."

"Creating such a situation really damages the majesty of the court and the royal face."

While he was speaking, he knelt down and bowed, "My son feels that he has little talent and knowledge and is not qualified for the position of crown prince. I beg my father to abolish the crown prince."
