Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the official continued, "As far as I know, the second princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp, maybe she offended someone outside to cause this kind of disaster, so everyone should wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly."

The official's words were echoed by everyone.

At this moment, a sharp voice entered the main hall.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately shut up and bowed respectfully.

The emperor slowly walked to the dragon chair and sat down, glanced at the ministers and said, "Zhu Aiqing, let's calm down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd stood up, then to the sides.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have recently heard about many things in the Second Prince's Mansion, which were originally family affairs, but they were involved in state affairs, and I have found out the truth about the abduction of the Second Prince's Princess, and someone did it on purpose."

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

The emperor nodded: "But this time there is indeed a hidden secret, I found out that this matter is related to Dongliang, and they dare to openly provoke my Shangzhou royal family, which is really a heinous crime."

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

"Yes, Your Majesty, such villains should be punished severely!" Other generals chimed in.

"Yes, the ministers asked to go to Dongliang to help His Majesty crusade against the thieves!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Zhu Aiqing, don't be impatient, this time I went to Dongliang not only to crusade against the thieves, but more importantly, Dongliang has been in close contact with Qi Qin recently, according to the spies, Qi Qin seems to have cooperated with Dongliang, if Qi Qin joins forces with Dongliang to attack us, I am still in danger!"

"Huh?" Hearing the news, the generals below all widened their eyes in surprise.

"Isn't Qi Qin's mission still in the capital? Why did you contact Dongliang again?" Someone asked suspiciously.

The emperor said indifferently: "This matter still needs to be carefully investigated, if the two countries of Qi and Liang join forces, this is definitely not a good thing!"

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

The civil servants were silent, all thinking about how to deal with this matter this time.

If the alliance of the two countries of Qi and Liang attacks my Shang Zhou, how can I Shang Zhou resist it?

The emperor looked at the civil officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any suggestions, just say it!"

The civil officials exchanged glances with each other, and one of them spoke, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be handled with caution and should not be acted rashly."

"Huh? Why? Could it be that Zhu Aiqing thinks that this matter is wrong?" The emperor looked at everyone suspiciously.

The civil official lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor, he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the alliance between the two countries of Qiliang is not necessarily aimed at me Shang Zhou, after all, our Shang Zhou's national strength far surpasses theirs, and it is unfortunate to target it rashly."

"Then what should I do according to Aiqing's eyes?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the best way now is to pay close attention to this matter, as long as the two countries don't come to trouble us, we Shang Zhou don't have to pay attention to this matter, if they insist on provoking us, then we will fight it, anyway, our Shang Zhou soldiers are strong, and they can't compete with us at all."

The emperor looked at the person who spoke, his eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, but he quickly returned to normal, and he nodded: "This method is good, but at this moment, the news of the disappearance of the second princess is spreading all over the city, if we sit back like this, won't they make them think that we are Shang Zhou so weak and incompetent."

The emperor's meaning is obvious, that is, he can't sit still.

"This ......" The civil officials looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer the emperor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you don't want me Shang Zhou to suffer such humiliation, but now that the matter has come to this point, if we can't think of a way as soon as possible, I'm afraid that our Shang Zhou will become the laughing stock of the world!" The emperor's words were full of anger.

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

At this moment, Prime Minister Qi suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the best way at this time is to wait and see what happens, after all, things have not been clarified yet, so acting rashly like this may make people take advantage of the loophole, and when the time comes, not only will we not be able to take revenge, but they will also be caught."

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

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qi and then said, "Qi Xiang, Wan Ting is your daughter and my daughter-in-law, do you just let those people go?"

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

"The minister didn't, although the minister loves his daughter, but he can't affect the entire Shang Zhou because of his daughter, please think twice!"

The emperor thought about it and glanced at Prime Minister Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed helplessly: "Alas, that's it, since all the secretaries don't agree with my idea, then let me think about it again!" Retreat."

"Yes, Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Qi Cheng saluted, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes.

Prime Minister Qi knew that the emperor just wanted the matter to be stopped, so he hastily found a reason to prevaricate him, his daughter had suffered such a big grievance, how could he let it go easily?

What's more, now that the second prince is temporarily detained in the Criminal Department, Feng Yuanqing has done such ugly things again, his face has been lost, if he doesn't find out who is behind the scenes, how can he gain a foothold in the court in the future?

Thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in Prime Minister Qi's eyes: "I want to see who is behind the trouble!" Dare to attack my Qi family, it's just boring!"

As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, Concubine Qi ran over, and as soon as she entered the door, she cried and shouted with a sad face: "Your Majesty, aren't you ready to help Wanting take revenge? Wanting is your daughter-in-law, do you want to watch her being insulted by others?"

Looking at the crying pear blossom with rain Qi Guifei, the emperor frowned slightly: "Wanting's matter, I will go to investigate, you don't need to say more, you still have to worry about your son first."

"Your Majesty, Chongjun just killed a leader by mistake, it's not a big deal, is it necessary for you to put him in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Concubine Qi looked at the emperor with some unwillingness.

"Don't you understand that murder pays for life?" The emperor snorted coldly: "A gentleman who violates the law is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, can he be an exception?"

Hearing this, Qi Guifei's face changed: "However, Chongjun is your son!" is the prince of Shang Zhou, and now Wanting is like this, if Yuan Qing has something else, how can he live as a concubine? Besides, these words are just good for outsiders, and it's okay to be pretentious."

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "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 your life, and someone else's life is not?"
