"Father, my second brother, he is just talking nonsense and slandering me.

Erchen has never had any contact with those ministers, let alone having any intention of forming a faction. Moreover, Aluan is the biological sister of Erchen's mother. How could Erchen attack her property? Someone must be targeting Erchen.

I am doing this in my name, my sister is just being deceived.

I also hope that my father will give me a period of time, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, so that I can be redressed and the truth can be revealed, and other people will not think that we, brother and sister, are fighting each other and are not harmonious."

It has to be said that the original eldest brother, the eldest prince, is much more tactful and smart. Apart from retorting about the second prince at the beginning, he is not using his brother-sister relationship with Ding Yun's mother to clear himself from suspicion.

I just want to put things off for a while.

He even took the power of trial into his own hands.

Finally, I didn't forget to show my brotherhood and sisterhood, and said something that Duguxiao was willing to hear, which was that I didn't want outsiders to know that their brothers and sisters were fighting among themselves.

But there were not many fools present, and everyone actually felt that even his own sister would sue him.

This shows how much he went too far.

Therefore, someone quickly spoke out to refute.

In the next few hours, there was no room for Ding Yun to express himself. There was already a huge quarrel among the officials and the seven or eight princes. One side wanted to defend himself, while the other side tried to consolidate the ground.

The reliability of the evidence is a matter of debate.

Just when they were arguing, Ding Yun couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Father, since the officials are still arguing, and it is still difficult to decide a case with such solid evidence, why not distribute the evidence to the world, let the people of the world see it, and let the people of the world make the decision? After all, the people's will is God's will, and the people will decide.

It’s like God’s will!”

"And this matter is not difficult. I have asked people to print 10,000 pieces of evidence. It only takes less than an hour to spread these 10,000 pieces of evidence throughout Chang'an City. It should be possible to spread it in half a month at most.

All over the world, it will be enough to adopt the opinions of the people when the time comes."

There is no doubt that Ding Yun is trying to force the palace.

The implication is also very clear, that is, if you don't give me a satisfactory result today, then she will definitely let the causes and consequences of this matter, as well as their actions, be clearly spread throughout the world.

"you……"

"It's just a family matter, why are you doing this?"

Dugu Xiao was not stupid, how could he not understand what his daughter meant? It was precisely because he understood that he became particularly angry and asked.

"Father, I can only blame them for being too greedy. They didn't treat me as a brother or sister in the first place. A group of capable princes didn't think about the country and the people, but focused on the widows at home.

Sister, if you start with three melons and two dates, are you trying to make a huge fortune out of it?"

"I warned them and reminded them.

But not only did they not listen, they even got worse and worse. They even took a knife directly into my princess's house and forced me to hand over all the assets and secret formulas in my hand to them. Now that you are still here, Father, they already dare to do this.

.

When one day one of them becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne, the other brothers and sisters like us here will have other ways to survive. If not we can just hang ourselves at home, at least we can keep a whole body!"

"If this matter doesn't come to an end, why don't you just hang me on the spot as the culprit? It will save me from suffering in the future and let the people of the world see what kind of family tradition our Dugu family has. Let the people of the world see.

How does this prince treat his orphaned daughter and widowed mother?"

Ding Yun now wants to make a big fuss about this matter and tear off his face completely. Only in this way can he have the effect of killing the chicken and scare the monkeys as much as possible, and at the same time make her father, the emperor, more jealous and dare not do anything to her.

After Ding Yun finished speaking, the other princes present who were not involved in the case, as well as the ministers and nobles who had not taken refuge with any prince, could not help but secretly nod.

Yes, they dare to do this just as a prince.

It would be better if I became the prince and emperor later on.

Moreover, they are even worried about their own sisters' assets, not to mention other people. I am afraid that many businessmen have to seek refuge in private, and their families may even be ruined. If such a prince is the king, he will definitely not be the best in the world.

Blessing, let alone the blessing of hundreds of officials.

Therefore, soon the other princes and ministers who were not involved in the case all spoke out in support of Ding Yun. Some ministers who were proficient in criminal law even said that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, and they could not bend the law for personal gain just because they were princes.

, The emperor's rebellion is the beginning of the world's chaos, and he should set an example for all people in the world.

It is true that Dugu Xiao is the emperor, but he is not the kind of emperor who holds the throne in a particularly upright manner. He was able to secure the throne only after compromising with other nobles.

Therefore, he actually does not have the ability to stick to his word and say a word that no minister dares to refute. If there are too many ministers who oppose something.

Especially if there were many representatives of the five major clans, then he would have to reconsider.

Or even give up or make changes directly.

Therefore, when Ding Yuntong spread the threat to the world and appeared with an attitude that most of the officials agreed with, he had to compromise no matter how unwilling he was, so in the end he could only nod in acquiescence and announce:

"The evidence is conclusive, and they should be exempted from all titles and official positions, and they should stay at home and reflect on themselves. If they commit crimes again, their clans and clans will be exterminated, and they will be directly demoted to common people and imprisoned in the mansion."

Although the punishment doesn't look very good.

But this is already good.

The so-called emperor's crime and the common people's crimes are just words. Anyone who takes his words seriously is really stupid.

Moreover, at this time, one can use one's title to take the blame. Even if one's children commit a crime, the father can use one's title to help take the blame. In addition, what those princes did is not a heinous crime, so naturally,

The sentence will not be too severe.

Ding Yun also knew that this was already the biggest concession, and it was basically impossible to go further, so he could only reluctantly express his willingness to accept it.

Then, the matter is considered to be over.

However, in reality, this matter only ended in the side hall of Chang'an Palace. In other places, it can only be regarded as just beginning, or it has not yet begun.

No, Ding Yun just resigned and left.

Before he could leave Chang'an Palace, he was stopped by someone dispatched by the Queen, saying that the Queen wanted to see her now.

The kind that can't be delayed at all.

Although Ding Yun knew that going to see the Queen this time would definitely not be as harmonious as in the past, and it was normal for them to even quarrel during the meeting, but she could not refuse after all, so of course she still went to Changle Palace.

Then as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the queen as expected. She drove away everyone with an angry face and shouted:

"Dugu Luan, what exactly do you want to do?"

"He is your brother!"

"Do you think of me as your mother? It's enough if you deal with those bastards. You even have to deal with your own brother. What on earth do you want to do?"

"Your brother wants to be the prince. Now that you've done this to him, how can he still be the prince?"

Needless to say, the Queen was definitely very angry.

Because the eldest prince is her eldest son and the legitimate eldest son, he is theoretically the most qualified to become the prince and inherit the throne. Although Dugu Xiao has never made the eldest prince the prince, in the queen's mind, her son's

The crown prince position is already secure.

But now all this has been ruined by Ding Yun.

Destroyed by her biological daughter Ding Yun.

How could she not be angry, angry and broken.

In comparison, Ding Yun's mood was much calmer than hers. He just snorted and replied:

"Mother, you are really funny.

It’s true that he is my biological brother, but he has never regarded himself as my biological brother. Although these days, there are many brothers who want to take advantage of their sister’s extremely rich family, but no brother dares to

If you do this, you are not allowed to rebel against your sister.

You shouldn't say this now.

You should have said that to him before he did anything to me.

Rather than wait until afterward to tell me."

After speaking a few words, Ding Yun sarcastically said:

"And you are too naive. My father has been on the throne for almost two years. Your eldest son is both the direct descendant and the elder of the household. At the same time, your grandson is about to get a wife. However, in the past two years, he has not been able to marry.

Can become a prince.

What do you think are the chances of him becoming the prince?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see things, but you can’t understand how my father, in his prime, could allow a prince to compete with him for power, how stupid he is!”

The princes at this time are different from the princes many years later. Some princes many years later may have basically no rights. If they are close to certain officials and ministers, they may be impeached for having affairs with foreign ministers.

And now the prince.

But they have the right to build their own small court.

If the emperor is not in Chang'an City, the prince can even take over Chang'an directly without a decree, or temporarily take charge of the government. Such a prince is undoubtedly a great threat to the emperor, so unless he is particularly fond of his son, the emperor of this era will

Basically, they are not willing to establish a prince early, and some even start to establish a prince when they feel that they are about to die.

And if the emperor appoints a prince early,

On the contrary, when they were old and frail, those emperors would be even more afraid of the threat that the prince would bring to them, and would uneasily target and restrict the prince.

For example, Han Wu and others.
