Looking at the prince at this time, he was already in a cold sweat.

He didn't think of this at all yesterday, he just thought that the snow disaster already had a treatment plan, and it didn't cost much.

And he was in urgent need of some money, so he casually thought of a reason to see if he could get some money from the queen mother for emergencies.

But he didn't expect such a thing, but Meng Xuancheng was actually taken to the court to say it, and he was also labeled as immoral.

Although he was a little angry in his heart, what Meng Xuancheng said was also very reasonable, making him indistinguishable.

Emperor Zhaowu on the dragon chair was also a little big at this time, and when it came to this batch of money, he also mixed it up.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, first, there was no shortage of money in the snow disaster, and secondly, the prince's wedding, and he really needed to handle it well.

But I didn't expect there to be so many things here.

"Does the prince have anything to say?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to the crown prince, especially the King of Qi and the King of Chu.

Today, the two of them watched a good show outside the door of the Council Palace, and when Meng Xuancheng came out just now, both of them were very excited.

They all knew very well how fierce Meng Xuancheng was, and they were also a little afraid of this Meng Xuancheng.

However, today they were not afraid at all, but were very excited, because they knew that Meng Xuancheng was going to fire at the crown prince.

And Meng Xuancheng did not disappoint them, as soon as he made a move, it was so strong, even if the prince did not die this time, he would at least have to take off a layer of skin.

At this time, seeing the prince's pale face and cold sweat, the two of them felt so happy in their hearts.

"The son is guilty."

There is no way to distinguish it, and the prince can only bow his head and recognize it.

However, at this moment, Emperor Zhaowu spoke.

"It's true that the prince did something wrong, but I am also responsible."

Then, he concisely told what happened in Fengqi Palace yesterday.

"Speaking of which, I was too inconsiderate at the time, how about the prince be fined for a year if the money approved in this way is recovered?"

When he said this, his eyes looked at Meng Xuancheng.

The prince must protect it, after all, there is also his business here.

"There is no objection to the minister."

Meng Xuancheng nodded, he also knew very well in his heart that it would definitely be impossible to abolish the crown prince, and he came out to impeach the prince, not to abolish the prince, but to take this opportunity to educate the prince, the prince, what to do and what not to do.

Now that the emperor has come out to take most of the responsibility, if he continues, it will be counterproductive.

Although he looks at the emperor, it also depends on what it is, and the emperor will not take it too seriously.

This is not possible today, after all, it is related to the prince, if he delves deeper, the position of the prince will be turbulent, which is not what he wants to see, and the consequences are not something he can bear.

"Tell me about the second sin."

Seeing that Meng Xuancheng was so knowledgeable, Emperor Zhaowu was also quite satisfied in his heart.

But the King of Qi and the King of Chu were not very satisfied.

What kind of stuff is it that lasts for a year?

That's too light, isn't it?

However, the two of them have been following those Wenchen staff for a long time, and they also know very well that it is not realistic to rely on this to pull the prince off the horse.

What's more, their father and emperor took over most of the responsibilities just now, and they couldn't do anything more, so they could only lower their eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Yesterday, the lord of Zhaode let the slaves and maids around him enter Beijing to donate the fireplace, and the snow disaster was at the head, and the move of the lord of Zhaode was really righteous, but His Royal Highness the prince punished and beat the maidservants in the palace, which was really unkind."

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at Ji Guogong Huo Jingzhi.

And Huo Jingzhi also stood up when everyone's eyes came over, and arched his hand at Emperor Zhaowu; "Your Majesty, the ministers have already inquired about yesterday's incident, and it was the people in the minister's mansion who collided first, and it is natural that they should be punished."

Hearing his words, many people were a little confused.

What's the situation?

Why did you come out to speak for the prince?

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Huo Jingzhi below, and there was no joy in his heart, but he was full of guilt.

Thinking of the bastard things that the prince had done, he couldn't help but glare at the prince again.

Meng Xuancheng was also a little caught off guard by Huo Jingzhi's sudden operation, and glanced at Huo Jing obliquely.

The look in his eyes was like saying, "What's wrong with you?" The old man is seeking justice for you, why are you still backstabbing the old man?

However, Huo Jingzhi's eyes did not squint, and his expression was awe-inspiring.

Seeing this, Meng Xuancheng didn't bother to deal with him, and continued to give up; "Having said that, but His Royal Highness the Prince's approach is really inappropriate, treating meritorious people like this, who will dare to serve the court in the future? This move is really unkind and chilling. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"What Meng Aiqing said is true."

"Prince, do you have anything to say?"

At this time, the crown prince is very clear and can't refute it, after all, he knows very well what things are, and his father is also very clear, if he refutes it at this time, it will be more troublesome.

"The sons have nothing to say, and the sons also know their mistakes, so please punish the emperor."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Emperor Zhaowu was still quite satisfied in his heart.

"Although the sage said that knowing mistakes can improve the great way, but the prince's move as a prince is really inappropriate and should be punished."

"First, when the snow disaster is at hand, as the prince, he should also contribute to the affected people, and order the prince to go to the Ministry of Industry to learn how to make fireplaces with craftsmen, and he needs to make fifty fireplaces by himself, and no one is allowed to help."

"Second, the prince needs to go to the Jiguo Mansion in person to apologize."

"The third is thirty when the above punishment is over."

"Does the prince have any objections to this?"

The three punishments, one is for the people, and the second and third are for appeasing the Jiguo Mansion.

After all, a person is the crown prince, and Emperor Zhaowu has the heart to protect it, so it is not bad to be able to do this.

"There is no objection to the son."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, and his gaze swept to Meng Xuancheng and Huo Jingzhi again.

The two also bowed their hands in unison to express no objection.

are all smart people, the emperor can start like this is already very face-saving, it is impossible in serious cases, after all, you have to take care of the prince's face.

Subsequently, it was to deal with some local affairs, mainly the snow disaster, the method of the lord of Zhaode was really good, and the people below were also very cooperative, and many people have been resettled.

There haven't been any major troubles yet.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the prince returned to the East Palace directly, and he had to prepare some gifts for the apology.

"Ji Guogong, you just now"

Out of the political hall, Meng Xuancheng found Huo Jingzhi as soon as possible, this is to ask the teacher for guilt.

Speaking of which, the personal relationship between these two people is not bad, and they move around a lot on weekdays.

"Brother Xuancheng, don't blame, my brother can't help it, you think about the past period of time, brother, I'm really scared."

Seeing his bitter look, after hearing him say what happened in the past period of time, the lost anger in Meng Xuancheng's heart was instantly annihilated.

After a while, he sighed heavily, reached out and patted Huo Jingzhi's shoulder.

While expressing sympathy, he was even more dissatisfied with the prince in his heart.
