The weather is getting colder and colder, and the princes who rushed to the capital have all been arranged by the Zongren Mansion to live in the Ten Princes' Mansion.

The Ten Kings' Mansion is a magical place, it is not ten kings' mansions, nor is it a palace called ten, but a palace called ten kings.

To put it bluntly, this Ten Princes' Mansion is actually ten small palaces that are wrapped in a palace compound, which is equivalent to a townhouse in the palace realm.

Because the princes of the Ming Dynasty, except for the crown prince who could become the emperor in the end, all the others had to be driven out of the capital and go to other places to become vassals, so most of the princes would not build independent palaces after being crowned queens.

Like King Yu and King Jing, it is often because the emperor has few sons, or because it has not yet been clarified who will be the crown prince, and he is worried that these two guys will have an accident when they live together, so they build a mansion alone.

Therefore, the Ten Princes' Mansion is the collective dormitory where these young princes lived in the capital before they became vassals. Occasionally, when a prince is ordered to enter Beijing, he will also be used as a guest by the Zongren Mansion.

There were more than 20 princes of the Jiajing Dynasty, and 12 came to Beijing this time, and a few who did not come were old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not come.

There are also a few who are particularly Buddhist, and they feel that fighting or not fighting is not bad for themselves, and it is not a good thing to enter Beijing, and it doesn't matter what the result is in the end.

Anyway, I've been to so many Rolls-Royces, and I drive a Mazda by myself, so I'm honestly waiting for news at home.

These twelve princes entered Beijing with the ardent expectations of the clans, and after living in the Ten Princes' Mansion, they got together to eat hot pot and sing songs, ready to fight for reason in the court and show their skills.

Since the princes all knew that the guy who made trouble in the book this time was Xiao Feng, and they heard that this person was the most eloquent, so they carefully discussed the countermeasures.

Among them, the old woman of King Zhou (during the Jiajing Dynasty, the title of the prince is unknown, it is too difficult to check) is cunning, the most eloquent, bold and careful, and is recommended by everyone as the main debater.

King Qing is middle-aged and vigorous, and as a second argument, he is ready to rush up to replace King Zhou's words and overwhelm Xiao Feng with momentum.

The king of the valley is powerful, and he has good kung fu with his fists and feet, as the third debate. When the main argument is exhausted and the momentum of the second argument is difficult to win, the third argument must come forward and physically persuade Xiao Feng.

Although he knew that above the court, he would definitely not be able to seriously injure Xiao Feng, but as a prince, he and Xiao Feng would fight each other, and the punishment he received in the end would definitely be much lighter than Xiao Feng.

The arrangement of these three characters can be described as a combination of old, middle, and young, and they are not afraid of speaking, scolding, and beating, so they don't believe that they can't deal with a Xiao Feng!

Shoufu Yan Song also quietly sent someone to pass a message to the princes, telling the princes to be reasonable after going to the court, and they can work hard to play their level and defend their legitimate rights and interests, but don't be too excited.

Yan Song, as the first assistant of the cabinet, although he did not directly express his position, at least Yan Song's actions showed that Jiajing had not actually made up his mind.

He is also waiting to see the outcome of this debate to determine the intensity of the reform, so he must not lose!

The ministers were also ready to eat melons and watch the play early, especially the civil officials, who were eager to move a small bench and buy a watermelon to sit and watch.

I think that in order to make his father the emperor, Jiajing launched a big ceremony discussion, and in the end, he couldn't say that the ministers could not be used, so he started physical persuasion.

After a cane, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the hips of many civil officials shrank a lot.

It's your own family that's debating with you this time, but I want to see if you don't treat everyone equally!

In the expectation of countless people, the court meeting finally began, the audience entered in an orderly manner, and after the hundred officials were in place, the Zongren Mansion brought the princes to the court.

The twelve princes saluted Jiajing first, and then glared at Xiao Feng who was standing in front of Jiajing together. Xiao Feng was dressed in a white robe, smiling, and bowed his hand.

The main debater, King Zhou, coughed: "Xiao Feng, you discussed the affairs of the clan with us today, in what capacity, did you go to court?" Is it a Ming official, or is it a real person of Wen Xuan?"

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Since it is to discuss the affairs of the clan, it is natural that it should be an official, not a Daomen."

King Zhou said slowly, "In this case, when the ministers see us and other princes, those of low rank must bow down, and those of high grade must bow down!"

You are less than a grade, and you have not yet reached the third duke, and when you see us,

But what is the reason for only giving it away?

I know that you have the identity of the Daomen, and you don't kneel when you see Long Live. However, since you are discussing with us as an official, you should abide by the rules!"

Xiao Feng smiled, "What if I, as a Daomen, refuse to bow or bow?"

King Zhou sneered: "As a Daomen, you can naturally give up your hands as a courtesy, but the real people of the Daomen are not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the clan, you can leave after you finish the ceremony!"

Wonderful! All the princes looked proud, proud of their wonderful speeches.

Yan Song glanced at his godson and nodded slightly. Look at people, this brain is worthy of being a dragon son and a phoenix grandson! Look at you again, the son of the mouse will make holes!

Jiajing didn't even raise his eyelids, he was very sure in his heart, if Xiao Feng was stumped at the beginning, the matter of the clan would be pulled down, and he would debate a fart.

Xiao Feng was not in a hurry or impatient, and said with a smile: "With the meaning of the prince, I have two identities, and I must choose one to talk to you, the prince, right?"

King Zhou nodded: "Exactly?"

Xiao Feng continued to ask, "The meaning of the prince is that I can't be a Taoist priest when I am a courtier, and I can't be a courtier when I am a Taoist, but is that so?"

King Zhou continued to nod: "Naturally, otherwise, wouldn't it be chaotic, and there are still rules to speak of?"

Xiao Feng asked puzzledly, "In other words, the clothes I wear now are actually problematic. I should wear court clothes, not this one."

Zhou Wangxin said that you still don't think the pit is deep enough, and you are still digging deep into the pit yourself, which is really rare!

"Naturally, you are pampered and arrogant, green clothes and white robes, scholars are not scholars, Taoist priests are not Taoists, courtiers are not courtiers, it is really ridiculous!"

Xiao Feng nodded: "Lord Wang, you don't know, the Dao Sect has its own rules, and the Accession Sect I created does not require its disciples to wear Taoist uniforms.

The Accession Sect takes the Cangjie Immortal Master as the ancestor, and the Cangjie Immortal Master is the ancestor who created the written word, and the scholar's clothing is the Taoist costume for the Taoist Sect."

Zhou Wangxin said that you can't win it with strong words, no matter how you break it, you are still in the pit, what's the use of hiding around, sooner or later let me throw the stone into the pit and hit your head!

"Even if the clothes you wear are considered the Taoist robes of your entry into the world, and you came to the court as a courtier, not a Taoist priest, you are still wrong!

Since you are wearing a Taoist robe, you are not qualified to talk to us about the affairs of the clan, so go down to the court!"

Xiao Feng looked at King Zhou and smiled slightly: "Then may I ask King Zhou, what does King Zhou think, in what capacity does King Zhou go to the court?"

Well? King Zhou's gaze turned to Jiajing, and the cold sweat on his body burst out!

Jiajing was dressed in a Taoist robe, sitting on the dragon chair, without raising his eyelids, as if he was asleep.

It's no wonder that King Zhou ignored this matter, it's true that Jiajing has been wearing a Taoist robe to the court for many, many years, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

No matter how inconsistent a thing is, as long as it keeps happening, people will slowly get used to it, and no one thinks that there is anything worth noting.

For example, before the parrot and starling were discovered, if someone said that there was a bird that could speak human language, people must have thought he was crazy.

But when people have seen parrots and starlings, people have accepted such a miraculous thing. If someone says that no bird can speak human words, people will think he is crazy.

King Zhou was originally standing on the edge of the pit and watching Xiao Feng struggle in the pit, but now he suddenly found that it was actually himself who was in the pit!

However, as the main debater, King Zhou was by no means in vain, he thought quickly, and the pinion in his head turned an afterimage.

"Xiao Feng's words are wrong, long live is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven can only be managed by heaven, and naturally it is not something that can be restrained by secular etiquette.

Having said that, Xiao Feng, how can you dare to compare with Long Live You? You can't think about this kind of thing, and it's a sin to think about it!"

Call. The princes breathed a sigh of relief, just now they really thought that King Zhou was going to be buried by Xiao Feng's digging pit, but they didn't expect King Zhou to leap deep......

"What the prince said, does it only represent his personal opinion, or does he represent the opinion of all the princes?

King Zhou is not young, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is confused, I think it is better for the princes to change someone to represent him......

Yan Song shook his head, bah, you want to play a divisive trick if you can't beat it, how can this little trick deceive the princes?

Sure enough, all the princes shouted together, "Xiao Feng, you are short of words, but you want us to change generals in battle? Dream!

The meaning of King Zhou is the meaning of everyone I am, and the words of King Zhou are the words of everyone I am! Tell me, what sin are thou to blame?"

Xiao Feng was surprised, "What am I guilty of? I didn't even think about comparing it to Banzai!"

King Zhou was furious: "You clearly ask me, long live wearing a Taoist robe to the court, what is your identity!"

And we've been talking about you wearing a robe to the court, isn't it obvious? And quibble!"

Xiao Feng shook his head again and again: "What kind of logic is this, Lord Wang? What is said in front of you, and what is said in the aftermath, is it a comparison?"

King Zhou said loudly, "Common sense is like this, why quibble? You talk about yourself first, and then you talk about Banzai, and in your heart, you just think that you and Banzai are on a par!"

Xiao Feng suddenly realized: "If you say that, you first ask me to go to court as a courtier, and then ask me to go to court as a Taoist gate.

Can it be understood that in the heart of the prince, the status of a courtier and the identity of a Taoist can be compared?"

King Zhou's brows furrowed, this word was drawn from his own words, if he denied it, then the accusation against Xiao Feng would naturally not be established.

But if you admit it, I feel like there's a pit somewhere! But if you don't admit that it doesn't make sense logically, you will seem to be cheating.

He gritted his teeth and decided to choose the lesser of two evils, chase and fight, at least in terms of momentum, to completely suppress Xiao Feng.

"Yes, at that time, in my heart, the status of a courtier and the identity of a Taoist can be compared!

So, Xiao Feng, in your heart at that time, your identity and Banzai can also be compared, don't want to be vague about the past!"

Xiao Feng turned around and saluted Jiajing sincerely.

"Senior brother, senior brother was arrogant for a moment just now, thinking about the scene of discussing the Tao with senior brother, and accidentally compared it with senior brother in my heart.

Please forgive me."

Jiajing drooped her eyelids, and her stomach was secretly funny, King Zhou was such an old woman who was cunning, and she was still surrounded by Xiao Feng.

But he had to make a neutral attitude, so he said lightly: "Young and frivolous, King Zhou is right, not an example."

Xiao Feng turned his head with a smile and looked at King Zhou, "Now, let's discuss the affairs of the clan."

King Zhou didn't expect Xiao Feng to admit it so happily, and Jiajing said that he would not pursue it, so he naturally couldn't be harsh, but fortunately, he had suppressed Xiao Feng's momentum, which was also a small victory.

"Since long live forgiveness, this king is not too harsh. It's just that back to the beginning, whether you are a Taoist or a courtier!

If you are a Daomen, you are not qualified! If you are a courtier, kneel down and salute immediately!"

Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled, "I can't go back, Lord Wang, you have just admitted that you think that the status of a courtier and the identity of a Taoist can be compared.

Since we can compare them, then no matter what my capacity, I can bow to you and discuss the affairs of the clan with you, right?"

It turns out that the pit is here! As soon as King Zhou came up, he made things difficult for Xiao Feng and broke up the identity issue, just planning to suppress Xiao Feng's momentum before serious discussions!

Momentum is extremely important in the debate process, and can even determine the outcome of the negotiation. As a result, the two sides circled down, and Xiao Feng skillfully resolved King Zhou's moves, and his momentum became even stronger.

The princes' faces were a little ugly, but after all, this was just a warm-up action, and the real battle had just begun.

King Zhou calmed down, and in order to regain the initiative, he directly threw Wang Bang when he came up.

"Xiao Feng, the law of the clan is the law of the ancestors! How can the law of the ancestors be changed? If you dare to instigate Banzai to revise the law of your ancestors, you will be punished!"

The princes nodded like chickens pecking rice, as if they wanted to peck Xiao Feng to death, and even Zhao Wenhua followed and pecked a few times.

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you are also a reasonable person, how can you say such a thing.

The discussion of the clan was initiated by the imperial court, and the imperial court was the imperial court of long live.

Long live is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is a person who is dictatorial and has a pearl of wisdom in his hands, how can others instigate him?"

King Zhou said loudly: "Long live Although the lord of the world, but the clan is above, it is still higher than long live, how can long live modify the law of the ancestors?"

Xiao Feng was surprised: "No, King Zhou, you just said that long live is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can only be managed by heaven, not by mundane rituals.

Do you mean that the ancestors are greater than the sky?

Heaven and earth are the princes, the ancestors are the most relatives, not only after the heavens and the earth, but also after the king, how can it be compared with the sky?"

King Zhou was speechless for a long time, and it took a long time before he said loudly: "Modifying the law of the ancestors is an unfilial act. Long live the rule of law with courtesy, how can you do such a thing?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Of course, you should be filial to your ancestral parents, but if your ancestral parents make a mistake, it is even more filial piety for your children and grandchildren to help correct it!"

King Zhou was overjoyed, pointed at Xiao Feng and reprimanded angrily, "You dare to say that the previous emperors made mistakes? Thou hast been bold, thou hast rebelled, thou hast died innocently!"

Xiao Feng was startled, and his voice was obviously weak: "Could it be that the previous emperors of the past dynasties did not make mistakes?"

King Zhou laughed: "Xiao Feng, how could the Son of Heaven be wrong? Those who are at fault are courtiers! The Son of Heaven made a mistake, and the courtiers did not assist effectively!

If you dare to speak wildly and slander the emperors of the past, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Xiao Feng had a sincere attitude of seeking knowledge: "Lord Wang, since the Son of Heaven will not make mistakes, what is the matter with the edict of sinning himself?"

King Zhou was beaten and was speechless for a long time.

The edict of sin is a review of the emperor's confession of mistakes to the subjects of the world.

It doesn't matter if it's sincere or fake, just a pose, it's also admitting that you're wrong.

The emperor himself admits that he is wrong, you prince is jumping around and shouting that the Son of Heaven is not wrong, you have the final say or the emperor has the final say?

Xiao Feng looked at the speechless King Zhou, and asked with a smile, "Which ancestor set the law of the clan?"

King Zhou whispered, "It was determined by the founding emperor Taizu."

Xiao Feng continued to ask, "How many times has Emperor Taizu issued an edict to sin himself?"

King Zhou gritted his teeth and did not speak. Xiao Feng looked reverent, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's most fanatical fan, and loudly endorsed the idol.

"Emperor Taizu, he has issued five edicts in his life! In the long river of history, it is rare for the Son of Heaven to reflect on himself so much and change his mistakes!

Emperor Taizu made great achievements, but he was never complacent! He was cautious in his words and deeds, constantly reflecting on himself, and setting an example for future generations to change when they knew their mistakes!

Long live today, find that there is a slight flaw in the law of the ancestors, take the ancestor as an example, modify and improve, it is a great act of filial piety!

You are equivalent to the descendants of the ancestors, for your own selfish interests, ignoring the reputation of your ancestors, and preferring to let the small mistakes of your ancestors be preserved.

You let the history books of later generations accuse your ancestors of their mistakes, what kind of behavior are you, this is a great unfilial piety!

It can be seen that the same dragon son and phoenix grandson, long live why the destiny of heaven returns? Why can you only be a prince? That's the gap!"

Who can afford the crime of great unfilial piety? King Zhou was really anxious and yelled, "You are talking nonsense! You are bold and presumptuous!"

Xiao Feng suddenly looked at King Zhou in horror: "Lord Wang, you ...... You say I'm talking nonsense, don't you admit that there is a gap between me and Banzai?"

King Zhou's whole body was cold, he shivered, and looked up at Jiajing, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, he feels that Jiajing's face seems to be a little unsightly.

"No, no, no, I'm not saying that!"

"Then do you not admit that Long Live Destiny returns?"

King Zhou was about to faint, shaking his head and waving his hands desperately, as if he was dancing in slow motion with his left hand and right hand.

The prince behind him also maintained an astonishing unity,

The movements are more uniform than the backup dances on the stage, and at first glance, I thought the princes were jumping collectively.

"Never like that, we never mean that, hooray! Xiao Feng, you're framing me!"
