Chapter 170 A Gentleman Breaks the Law and Common People

Seeing everyone looking at him, the official continued, "As far as I know, the second prince's concubine is not a good-looking lamp. Maybe she offended someone outside to cause such trouble. So everyone should just wait and see and don't act rashly."

The official's words were recognized by everyone.

At this moment, a sharp voice came into the hall.

"The Emperor is here!"

Hearing this voice, everyone immediately shut up and bowed respectfully.

The emperor slowly walked to the dragon throne and sat down, glanced at the ministers and said, "Let me be calm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up one after another and stood to both sides.

"My dear friends, I have recently heard that many things in the Second Prince's Mansion are family affairs, but they are involved in state affairs. I have found out the truth about the Second Prince's concubine's abductee, and someone did it on purpose."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing the emperor's words, everyone below agreed.

The emperor nodded: "But there is indeed a hidden truth this time. I found out that this incident is related to Dongliang. They dared to openly provoke my Shangzhou royal family, which is a very serious crime."

"Your Majesty, we are willing to go to Dongliang for justice for Your Majesty!" Several generals shouted loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these evil men should be severely punished!" Other generals agreed.

"Yes, I'm asking to go to Dongliang to help Your Majesty fight against the bandits!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "My dear friends, don't be impatient. This time I went to Dongliang not only to attack the bandits, but more importantly, Dongliang has had close contacts with Qi and Qin recently. According to the spies, Qi Qin seems to have cooperated with Dongliang. If Qi Qin joins Dongliang to attack us, I will still be in danger!"

"Ah?" Hearing this news, all the generals below opened their eyes wide in surprise.

"Isn't Qi Qin's mission still in the capital? Why did he contact Dongliang again?" someone asked in confusion.

The emperor said calmly: "This matter needs to be carefully verified. If Qi and Liang join forces, this is definitely not a good thing!"

"This, this..." The military generals below were talking.

However, the civil servants fell silent, and they were all thinking about how to deal with this matter this time.

If the alliance between Qi and Liang countries attacked me, Shang Zhou, how should I resist?

The emperor looked at the civil servant group: "My dear friends, please tell me if you have any suggestions!"

The civil servants exchanged glances with each other, and one of them said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be handled with caution and should not act rashly."

"Well? Why? Do you think this is wrong?" The emperor looked at everyone in confusion.

The civil servant lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the emperor. He slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, the alliance between Qi and Liang may not be targeted by me, Shang Zhou. After all, our Shang Zhou's national strength is far beyond them. If we target it rashly, it will lose the style of a great power."

"What should I do as I see?"

"Report to your Majesty, I think the best way now is to pay close attention to this matter. As long as the two countries do not come to cause trouble for us, we Shangzhou will not need to pay attention to this matter. If they insist on provoking us, then we will fight. Anyway, our Shangzhou is strong and we can't compete with us at all."

The emperor looked at the person talking, and his eyes flashed with a strange look, but soon returned to normal. He nodded: "This method is good, but at this moment, the disappearance of the second prince's concubine spread throughout the city. If we just sit and wait for death, wouldn't they feel that we, Shang Zhou, are so weak and incompetent."

The emperor's meaning is very obvious, that is, he cannot sit still and wait for death.

"This..." The civil servants looked puzzled, not knowing how to answer the emperor.

"My dear friends, I know that you don't want me, Shangzhou, to suffer such humiliation, but now that things have come to this point, if we can't think of a solution early, we Shangzhou will probably become the laughing stock of the people in the world!" The emperor's words were full of anger.

Hearing the emperor's words, the civil servants below fell into deep thought again, and they didn't know how to answer the conversation.

At this moment, Prime Minister Qi suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, I think the best way to do this is to wait and see what's going on. After all, the matter has not been figured out yet. Just act rashly, I'm afraid that people will take advantage of the loopholes. At that time, we will not only not be able to take revenge, but also let them catch the handle."

Hearing Prime Minister Qi's words, everyone looked at him.

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qi and then said, "Xiang Qi, Wanting is your daughter and my daughter-in-law. Are you just letting those people go?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Prime Minister Qi shook his head.

"I don't. Although I love my daughter, I can't implicate the entire Shang Zhou because of my daughter. Please think twice!"

The emperor thought about it and looked at Prime Minister Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, forgot, since all the ministers disagree with my ideas, let me think about it again! Retreat the court."

"Yes, I'll send you my respect to Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Qi bowed, but there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

Prime Minister Qi knew that the emperor just wanted to give up the matter, so he found a reason to swear by him. How could he let his daughter go easily after suffering such a great grievance?

What's more, the second prince is temporarily detained in the Ministry of Justice, and Feng Yuanqing has committed such a scandal, and his face has been lost. If the mastermind behind him is not found, how can he gain a foothold in the court in the future?

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Qi's eyes showed a fierce light: "I want to see who is making trouble behind the scenes! It's so boring to dare to attack my Qi family!"

As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, Concubine Qi ran over. As soon as she entered the door, she cried and shouted with a sad face: "Your Majesty, are you not going to avenge Wanting? Wanting is your daughter-in-law. Do you want to watch her be insulted by others?"

Looking at Concubine Qi who was crying with the rain, the emperor frowned slightly: "I will investigate Wanting's affairs. There is no need for you to say too much, you should worry about your son first."

"Your Majesty, Chongjun just accidentally killed a leader. It's not a big deal. Do you need to imprison him in the Ministry of Justice?" Concubine Qi looked at the emperor with some reluctance.

"Do you don't understand if you kill someone?" The emperor snorted coldly: "A gentleman breaks the law and still commits the same crime as the common people. Can he be an exception?"

Hearing this, Concubine Qi's face changed: "But, Chongjun is your son! He is also Shang Zhou's prince. Wanting is like this now. If Yuan Qing had something else, how could I live? Besides, these words are just to say good things to outsiders, and it's okay to act."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "So what if he is my son? Do I have to protect him? Or do you, a mother, always think that your son's life is life, and other people's life is not life?"
