Chapter 70: The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people

originally thought that the four princes could be solved this time, but I didn't expect it to be such a result in the end.

This made the prince's heart very unhappy.

However, Emperor Deyuan had already come to the conclusion that if he stood up so openly against it, he was afraid that it would leave a bad impression in Emperor Deyuan's heart.

Now I can only pin my hope on that old master Qiu.

As long as Old Master Qiu speaks, with such a partial punishment, Emperor Deyuan will definitely make concessions.

Just when the prince was waiting for Old Master Zhou to speak, Zhou Yang, who had been standing there without speaking, suddenly burst out a sentence coldly.

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!"

This simple sentence made the court, which was still a little talkative, become extremely quiet in an instant.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Zhou Yang incredulously.

Everyone couldn't believe that this sentence could come out of the mouth of this stupid prince.

The meaning contained in such a few simple words is not simple at all.

Just now, the fourth prince was still shouting there with his identity as the prince, and Zhou Yang's words were equivalent to directly shattering his reliance.

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people?"

Old Master Qiu, who was sitting there, could also repeat this sentence by himself.

The eyes, which were originally a little old and faint, were also revealed in an instant.

Emperor Deyuan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and this fool of his own suddenly popped out such a meaningful sentence, and the meaning of this sentence directly referred to the privileges of the royal family.

In an instant, Emperor Deyuan had a not-so-good premonition in his heart.

He sensed that the words might set off turbulent waves.

The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, which clearly means that he, Emperor Deyuan, if he really violated the law, he would be charged the same crime as ordinary people.

Emperor Deyuan is like this, so a mere prince naturally has no privileges to make exceptions.

"Zhou Yang, you can say such unashamed words."

"Are you doing this to rebel?"

The four princes, who were still a little happy just now, thought that they would finally be able to escape this time, but they didn't expect Zhou Yang's words to directly point the finger at him.

Now he was completely anxious, shouting loudly and buttoning a big hat on Zhou Yang's head.

"The old man thinks that His Royal Highness Seven's words are reasonable!"

Old Master Qiu slowly stood up and looked around at the ministers in the court.

The light in his eyes flickered, as if he had discovered some new continent.

"Since ancient times, all dynasties have used the law to bind the people and govern the world."

"This law is the law of the people of the world, and it is also the law of the royal family.

"Such an act is different from the original intention of the law."

"If this law can bind the common people, why can't the people of the royal family bind the officials? Only when legislation can bind everyone, but anyone who violates the law can be severely punished, then it can be convinced by the whole world. ”

"So the old man thinks that what the Seventh Prince said should be adopted!"

As he spoke, Old Master Qiu also bowed deeply to Emperor Deyuan.

The old master did this, and his disciples, as well as the ministers who were also Confucians, also stood up and agreed.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to put the overall situation first, the Son of Heaven broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people."

"If the law is biased, how can I make the people of the world believe in my Zhou Wu Dynasty?"

Seeing this situation, the prince was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and brought those people around him to stand up.

Although he felt that the meaning of what Zhou Yang said was very uncomfortable, the people of the royal family should be high and not bound by the law.

But now, in order to get rid of the four princes, even if it is uncomfortable, you have to stand up and support it.

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people?"

Emperor Deyuan muttered another sentence in a low voice.

is just such a simple sentence, which is equivalent to putting a shackle on the head of the royal family, including him, the Ninety-Five Supreme.

If I agree with this sentence today, the authority of the royal family will be greatly weakened in the future, and the recognition of the law of those subjects and the common people will exceed the recognition of the royal family.

The consequences of this will be extremely serious, and the entire royal family will be supervised by the people of the world in the future.

Emperor Deyuan thought of this and glanced at Zhou Yang's side, his eyes full of anger.

What happened to this stupid son of his?

Why did he suddenly say such a sentence that could change the situation in the world?

Emperor Deyuan disagreed with this sentence from the bottom of his heart, but now he has been forced into a corner.

If he openly opposes this sentence, it means that the royal family has already disagreed with the law, and the royal family does not agree with the law, so why should ordinary people care about the majesty of the law.

Then the law that I use to bind and control the people of the world will be meaningless.

At that time, the situation that appeared was after all chaos in the world, and the so-called laws of the imperial court were like a fictitious one.

Thinking of this, Emperor Deyuan's head is getting bigger and bigger.

Two pairs of persecution, he didn't know how to respond.

The fourth prince also looked pitiful at this time, looking at Emperor Deyuan and shouting in a low voice.

"Father's ......"

Now the hearts of the four princes are also in their throats, and if the crime they committed is really according to the law, they will at least be torn apart.

That means that not only will you lose your life, but you won't even be able to leave your whole corpse.

Such an ending was something that the fourth prince had never imagined, and he didn't believe that he would end up like this.

Facing his favorite son, who cast a pleading gaze at him there, Emperor Deyuan's heart was also very entangled.

If he is so openly biased towards his own son, then the people of this world will ignore the law, and no one will respect the law anymore.

The consequences are devastating.

But if he really did what the law stipulated, his son would definitely be in danger today.

Suddenly, Emperor Deyuan seemed to have thought of some way, and turned his gaze to the prince next to him.

asked the prince very meaningfully.

"The prince thinks that he is the prince, and this fourth brother is also your brother, I don't know what you think about this matter?"

Emperor Deyuan directly threw this problem on the crown prince's head.

In particular, he also focused on the fact that he and the fourth prince were brothers.

Fratricidal flesh and blood between brothers, that is absolutely not allowed, not to mention that the prince is still the prince, if he poisons his brothers, then there will be the possibility of tyrants in the future.

The prince stood there, originally waiting to watch a good show, but he didn't expect this big thunder to hit his head directly.
