Hearing this, the emperor was angry, anxious and distressed. He coughed out in grief. He frowned, covering his nose with one hand and his chest with the other, accompanied by a violent cough, his body trembled, his face was flushed, and his eyes were shining.

The civil and military officials in the hall were shocked: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body!" ”

King Yong'an's face changed, and his worry was overflowing: "Father's anger is relieved! You're angry. ”

At this time, King Yong'an, who had been silent beside him, stood up: "Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters think that the imperial brother must have been wronged. Please don't listen to the one-sided words of the father. ”

King Yong'an has always been cowardly, timid and fearful, and rarely has his own opinions. In the court, unless the emperor asked him personally, he would never take the initiative to speak. And at this moment, Xiang Ye slandered his imperial brother so much, and his father was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing, and out of the affection of father and son, he had to come forward.

Xiang Ye almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Who is he doing this for? It's not for King Yong'an, it's for his mother. And King Yong'an actually turned to his imperial brother Chu Tiankuo, whom he had never met, and said that he slandered Chu Tiankuo.

King Yong'an's words caused a strong reaction. For King Yong'an, everyone's impression is that there is no quarrel with the world, only seeking peace in the world, and he does not dare to comment on political affairs, so he is rarely seen speaking in the court.

To put it bluntly, King Yong'an's presence in the court is very low.

However, he can stand up again at this time, and he has to be impressive.

Everyone suddenly realized that what King Yong'an said was not unreasonable. It is very likely that Chu Tiankuo was wronged.

At that moment, Taishi Wang Shaobao also stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that King Yong'an is reasonable. Chu Tiankuo must have been wronged, please ask the emperor to learn clearly. ”

Su Qin, a scholar of the palace, immediately added: "Your Majesty, the ministers also agree with King Yong'an's point of view. There must be a hidden secret, please don't listen to the words of the prime minister. ”

Taishi Wang Shaobao and the palace scholar Su Qin made a good start, and then many officials stepped forward one after another, except for the Xia family's unclear attitude, everyone else was on the side of King Yong'an and the emperor.

The emperor's anger gradually faded, and his face softened. It's just that he still clutches his chest and frowns.

The current form is extremely unfavorable to Xiangye. Except for the neutral attitude of the Xia family, almost all of them are one-sided. Even the officials who were invited by him to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday also expressed their stance and agreed to let Chu Tiankuo enter the palace to recognize the emperor.

Is this still worth it? Xiangye was worried, like a scorpion roasted by fire, and he was so anxious. He swept around the hall, and the officials hurriedly lowered their heads.

Xiangye snorted coldly, it's just that, you can only rely on yourself. Even if he fought alone, he had to carry it, because he had no way out. He had to hold on and not fall, and as soon as he fell, it was all over.

Of course, in fact, he is not alone, at least, he still has a large group of people from the Xia family to support him.

A miserable smile appeared on Xiangye's helpless face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is accusing Chu Tiankuo. Perhaps, all the adults present couldn't understand it, thinking that the minister was making waves and framing him. Because a few months ago, Lu Hao killed Xia He, the daughter of the minister, and was sentenced to death, and Chu Tiankuo and the loyal and brave king Chi Le teamed up to rob Lu Hao. Therefore, many people think that the minister has a grudge against Chu Tiankuo. ”

He shifted his tone, raised his voice and continued, "That's not the case. If Chu Tiankuo did not commit a crime, the minister would not dare to distort the facts. ”

The Emperor did not say anything to stop him.

The whole hall looked at Xiang Ye and listened to Xiang Ye with a puzzled look.

He twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and laughed at himself: "Maybe all the adults have heard that Chu Tiankuo openly rejected the little girl Xia Wenxuan and refused the minister's proposal, which made the minister lose face. Therefore, you will think that the minister is embarrassed by him. For this matter, the minister did not take it to heart, and he was not to blame for the past. ”

When King Yong'an heard that Chu Tiankuo had rejected Xia Wenxuan, he had mixed emotions and lost his mind for a while.

Xiangye's move is called taking the initiative, and he is extremely clever. He first made his words that might be blamed public, so that everyone was blameless. The result of these words, which come out of his own mouth, and those that come out of his mouth, is a hundred and eight thousand miles.

When Xiang Ye said this, it was equivalent to revealing his scars to show others, and he quickly won sympathy points.

In just a few words, Chu Tiankuo did not distinguish between right and wrong, and actually committed the crime of robbing a prisoner on death row, and refused to do anything with his relatives. His negative image was sketched by Xiang Ye.

Next, the show begins. Xiangye attracted enough attention and said impassionedly: "Fortunately, Chu Tiankuo refused the little girl's marriage, otherwise the little girl would have been missed for life." ”

King Yong'an agreed with this and was very happy. It was because of his imperial brother's refusal that he had the opportunity to pursue Xia Wenxuan.

Xiangye went down and said: "A prodigal son like Chu Tiankuo is not worthy of a little girl. He sells his reputation and colludes with thieves, regardless of right and wrong. He likes the new and hates the old, messes with flowers and grass, and abandons chaos at the beginning. He ran away on the day he married the girl of the water vein, and he was unkind. Such a shameless person also hijacked a prisoner's car and committed national law, and should be beheaded. The matter is well known, and many people present can testify. If a minister has a word that wrongs him, he is willing to be punished. ”

King Yong'an only agreed with the previous sentence, and he didn't dare to agree with Xiang Ye's bad words about Chu Tiankuo in the latter paragraph.

When the emperor heard this, he was very shocked. The name of the water vein, he still remembers it vividly, and Feng Nanyang once mentioned it in his ear. He was deeply impressed by the water vein, which was a woman with affection and righteousness. If what Xiangye said is true, then his emperor should not live up to the water vein.

If his royal son really abandoned his fiancée, that character was really misbehaving. He has no shame to protect him.

Xiangye's words were like a fuse, which aroused the indignation of the ministers.

If it is said that Chu Tiankuo killed people and set fires, he did all kinds of evil, not everyone agrees. However, as soon as Chu Tiankuo liked the new and hated the old, and messed with flowers and grass, it resonated and aroused everyone's indignation.

Lord Liu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stood up: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true. Chu Tiankuo did run away from marriage on the day of marriage. He forsaken his fiancée, and he was a treacherous man. ”

This Lord Liu, his daughter is also secretly in love with Chu Tiankuo, and she is infatuated. Because Chu Tiankuo was engaged to Shui Mai, he was still depressed. For the sake of Chu Tiankuo, how many good family things did his daughter refuse. This made Lord Liu extremely distressed, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of Chu Tiankuo. Later, I heard that Chu Tiankuo abandoned his fiancée Shui Mai, and he was even more disgusted with Chu Tiankuo.

Lord Liu's words spoke the hearts of many people. Next, the daughters or younger sisters or relatives and friends of those officials in the court had a crush on Chu Tiankuo, and a few more people fell into the well and issued a statement in support of Xiangye.

The wall is down and everyone pushes it!
