Text: The Imperial Capital_Chapter 89 Rivalry
However, at this moment, the fifth prince glanced at a courtier behind him, and the official understood and took two steps straight ahead.
"Your Majesty, I demand that Li Aocheng be severely punished! He has ignored the dignity of the empire and the laws of the empire. Actually led people to destroy the Xiong family, the Xiong family Xiong Ba is the general of our country, and he has made outstanding contributions to my Qing Empire, which can be described as the essence of bowing, and he is already dead, but he is not satisfied with destroying the Xiong family, and he also burned the Earl's mansion, making a mess of John Weiss's mansion, and making a mess of the imperial capital, this is a contempt for Your Majesty, contempt for the Empire, I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Li Aocheng, in order to show the coercion of my empire, and the majesty of my Qing Empire will never be violated. The official said to the emperor.
The words of everyone's courtiers suddenly turned their eyes to Li Aocheng, and they were all relieved in their hearts, seeing how you fight back now, this is ironclad evidence.
Li Aocheng looked at the official who was being proud, and sneered in his heart. He looked at them quietly, his eyes showing disdain, as if everything was none of their business, and his expression was extremely disdainful.
"Oh, Li Aocheng, is there such a thing?" the emperor said lightly, turning his head to Li Aocheng.
Li Aocheng saw the emperor's listless expression, he was more aware in his heart, he looked at the emperor, he knew that the emperor intended to protect him, and he was more confident in his heart, it depends on what he said.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. Li Aocheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Li Aocheng's words suddenly shook a thousand waves, and they couldn't imagine that Li Aocheng's answer was so refreshing, and he answered so fearlessly.
However, at this time, the people below the fourth prince and the fifth prince couldn't hold back any longer, and walked forward one by one, demanding that Li Aocheng be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, Li Aocheng is so unscrupulous, and there is no Majesty in his eyes, no empire in his eyes, he must be severely punished. ”
"yes. Your Majesty, such a person must be put to death in order to prove the majesty of the law of our country. ”
"Your Majesty, we can't let him go of a villain like this, otherwise there will be no peaceful day in my Qing Empire. ”
“......”
A sentence came to mind from a different ear in Li Aocheng's ears, and the originally quiet court instantly became noisy.
Li Aocheng and the second prince and the others watched this scene quietly, and they didn't speak, and those loyal ministers in the court also didn't speak, but their eyes were focused on Li Aocheng and the emperor, looking at the changes in their faces.
But what made them strange was that Li Aocheng was like nothing, his face didn't matter, but the emperor still looked calm, and he didn't seem to be too relieved about this matter.
"Li Aocheng, do you have anything else to explain about this matter?" the emperor looked at the courtiers who were still pleading, and then stopped and asked Li Aocheng.
"Your Majesty, I don't think I'm going to give any explanation? But before that, I want to make a point, please make a promise?" Li Aocheng stepped forward and said without humility or arrogance.
Hearing Li Aocheng's words, everyone was immediately surprised, in front of the emperor, he threatened to voluntarily accept the guilt without explaining to anyone, and he had to bargain for the guilt, did he really think that he respected the world?
"Tell me about it?" The emperor didn't expect Li Aocheng to admit it like this, this is not like Li Aocheng.
Before the Xiong family was destroyed, the Xiong family was ambitious, and he sent a lot of guards out to be horse thieves, burning, killing, abusing and looting, doing everything, and plunging the people into misery. Isn't he a rebellion or something like this? What's even more ridiculous, when these horse thieves go to rob the common people's things, those officials still defend them from them, and they don't report to the court at all, but benefit from them, let me ask if these people are disrespectful to the Qing Empire?
Hearing Li Aocheng's words, those courtiers' faces began to change at this time, they were not as righteous as Li Aocheng said, this was not slandering what they were? But they were just thieves with weak hearts.
"I want to ask you, should the Xiong family be destroyed, but should we severely punish those ministers who protect the Xiong family?" Li Aocheng looked at the weak-hearted ministers again, and then said loudly.
"Your Majesty, Li Aocheng is pure slander, he is simply slander, it is simply slander against the Imperial Minister, this is disrespectful to Your Majesty. Then the ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly and said aggrievedly.
"Yes, since you say that I slandered you, then why are you so afraid, don't do bad things, are you still afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?" Li Aocheng snorted coldly again.
"Aocheng, is there really such a thing?" the Emperor asked angrily at this time, obviously he was extremely angry about this matter.
"Your Majesty, are you going to ask them about this?" Li Aocheng looked at the emperor and said very seriously.
"Father, Li Aocheng is slandering, this is simply nonsense, he made the imperial capital like this, first destroyed the Xiong family, and then burned the Earl's Palace, this is a capital crime, father?"
Suddenly, seeing the four princes come out to prove it, they were even more confident in their hearts, because now so many people said that he was guilty, and the emperor couldn't believe it.
But to everyone's surprise, the emperor was not angry at all, but looked at Li Aocheng with a smile and said, "Hehe, is Li Aocheng really like this?"
"Your Majesty, this matter does not need to be explained, Earl John Weiss stole my gold bar, I went to ask him for an explanation, and finally there was a little spark between the two parties, my subordinates accidentally burned down the Earl's Palace, which I have apologized to Earl John Weis, and many people present know the reason for this incident, but they and that matter to slander me, he also deceived His Majesty, this is the crime of deceiving the king. Li Aocheng said very reasonably.
Suddenly, everyone was extremely speechless at Li Aocheng's words, can an earl be short of money? Only you, Li Aocheng, can say such a thing and testify? Who believes this? Who doesn't know that he is making trouble.
Since the mansion was destroyed and he was injured, John Weiss had already left the imperial capital and went to other places to heal, and now he didn't come out to testify, what is this not helping Li Aocheng?
"Father, he is slandering, he doesn't take his father in his eyes at all, can an earl be short of money? Besides, what kind of identity is he, is he used to steal?" the fifth prince also came out at this time and said.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand this, but it is so, I have witnesses, and if Your Majesty does not believe me, I can send him in and tell me the ins and outs of this matter. Li Aocheng looked at the five princes and said indifferently.
When everyone heard Li Aocheng's words, they were immediately dumbfounded, this kid is too powerful, one mouth to so many mouths, since he is not yet down, is this still a human being? Ask you to pass on witnesses, I am afraid that you have already taught them how to say it!
"Father, he is simply slandering, he is so high-sounding above this high hall, and he also slanders the ministers of the court, this is not to put his father in his eyes, not to put the design of the empire in his eyes, this person is not punished, it is difficult to prove that our country is only a dynasty, it is difficult to prove the majesty of our country's national law, this will make my country a laughing stock in the whole world, and please think twice. The eldest prince couldn't help but walk out and say, he hated Li Aocheng very much, who told him to destroy himself.
Hearing the words of the eldest prince, there was an uproar again, and now the eldest prince stood up again, now it is one against three, the other party is three princes, no matter how powerful you are, do you still want to escape the punishment, how to say that Li Aocheng can't escape this punishment today.
No matter how powerful you are, you can still beat four enemies with three punches, and there are still a lot of courtiers below, even if Li Aocheng is powerful, what can he do? Does he still want to escape from this hall?
