Even though the person sitting on the throne was the young emperor, other than a few old officials, no one cared about him.
But no matter what, the emperor was still the emperor, and the court meeting was still a court meeting.
Not to mention exposing one's body, even if one's clothes were disheveled, it was enough to be charged with disrespect. A lighter punishment would be the loss of one's reputation, and a more serious punishment would be the loss of one's head. If someone took the matter to the extreme and refused to let it go, that would be great. It might even implicate the entire family.
Was Prince Changshou under a spell? Why did he suddenly ask others to expose their bodies in front of so many people?
Huang Song wasn't the only one who thought this. The other officials were even more confused.
Even though Wuma Shang had a bad temper, he wasn't such a rude person, let alone asking someone to be naked in court.
Wuma Shang ignored Huang Song and said, "Since this person isn't willing, I can't force him. Liu Xi has a guilty conscience, so he's not willing to cooperate with me and expose his body. But don't think that you can get away with deceiving the emperor like this. Your Majesty, I have a witness who can definitely prove that Liu Xi is a deceiver and deceiver. He can't be the governor of Wanzhou! Your Majesty, please summon this person. "
The young emperor was at a loss. He turned to look at the empress dowager behind him.
He had no idea what was going on. He liked to rely on his mother whenever he encountered something, and this was no exception.
Separated by a thin layer of silk, he could vaguely see the empress dowager nodding slightly.
The young emperor calmed down a little and said shyly, "If that's the case, why don't we summon a witness for questioning? What do you think, my dear officials? "
"Your Majesty, the court meeting is an important place to discuss state affairs. How can just anyone step foot in there?" Huang Song frowned and said disapprovingly, "In my opinion, Chief Wuma doesn't need a witness. He just needs a bowl of soup to sober him up. One bowl was enough to make him sober up and stop babbling nonsense. How can he be so impudent and rude in such a solemn place like the court meeting? "
Wuma Shang sneered as well. His eyes wandered between Huang Song and Jiang Pengji.
He said something shocking. "I see. Chief Huang is so protective of Liu Xi because he's her little lover."
As soon as he said that, not only did Huang Song burst into an uproar, but the officials were also discussing it animatedly and whispering to each other.
As spectators, they felt that today's court session was exceptionally different. They had heard a lot of explosive gossip.
Nowadays, men were very popular. Among the officials, there were also brothers who had a close relationship with each other. They were like best friends or a loving husband and wife. However, their relationship would not be out in the open. That was because, although it was an elegant thing to do, in the end, it still went against the rules of Yin and Yang.
Even though it was an elegant affair, very few people would make their brotherhood known to the public.
The bystanders were watching the show, but Huang Song was frightened.
He said with a hint of anger, "I'm not like County Chief Wu Ma, who has no scruples. Don't slander me when it comes to men."
After he finished speaking, Huang Song secretly gave Jiang Pengji a look, indicating for her to clarify as well.
Otherwise, if they were caught in a bucket of sh * t, what would happen to their reputations?
Thinking of the main wife in the fu, Huang Song felt his legs go weak.
If the wife found out about this rumor, Huang Song felt that once he returned home, what awaited him would be his wife's wooden club.
However, no matter how Huang Song winked at her, Jiang Pengji ignored him.
As the person involved, she calmly looked down and did not utter a word, as if what happened in the court session had nothing to do with her.
What was even more intriguing was that Liu She, as the father of the person involved, had an equally cold attitude.
Both of them had an attitude of "it's none of our business." Instead, Huang Song and Wu Ma Xuan were the ones arguing.
Wu Ma Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Trying to cover up makes it even more obvious."
Verbal arguments were not Huang Song's forte. If he met a scoundrel, he would only hit him when he was angry.
However, if he rolled up his sleeves and hit someone in the court session, it would be a crime as serious as not dressing properly. He could only restrain himself.
Wu Ma Xuan, who thought he had the upper hand, looked down at Jiang Pengji with the attitude of a victor.
"Your Majesty, if we let a deceiver get away with it, it will definitely cause unrest in the country and make the people uneasy. I ask for Your Majesty's permission to summon witnesses and expose Liu Xi's true colors. "Wu Ma Shang was unwilling to let go of this point, making everyone angry and anxious.
Jiang Pengji smiled coldly as she watched the drama unfold. The audience in the streaming room had already tortured Wu Ma Shang with ten tortures.
The young emperor had no opinion of his own and could only turn his head to look at his mother again.
The empress dowager, who was listening from behind the curtains, nodded at the young emperor again. The young emperor thought about it and still agreed.
Gugu Gugu: What the heck! The previous crown princess was too heartless. Not long ago, she even offered herself to the streamer, touched the streamer's hand, and wanted her to rub her breasts. Now she's turning her back on her. Anyone with eyes would know that Wu Ma Shang must have some unfavorable evidence against the streamer for making trouble at this time. The empress dowager should have rejected the witnesses and stalled for time. Why did she allow it?
Gege Ge Ge: Pfft — Previous poster, you're too straightforward. Those who don't know better would think that the streaming room is dirty. Actually, isn't it normal for the empress dowager to hate the streamer? She roped in the streamer just to get the support of the streamer and her father, to elevate the position of mother and son. Now that the situation has been settled, the empress dowager doesn't need the support of the streamer and her father anymore. Isn't it normal to dump her after using her?
Ji Ji Ji Ji: Let me add another point. The streamer didn't satisfy the desires of this old woman that day. She just watched as she was tortured by the aphrodisiac for two hours. If it were me, I might hold a grudge and cause trouble for the streamer or something.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the bullet screen of the streaming room. The discussions were very lively.
However, the reasons they mentioned were all secondary.
Although the empress dowager was short-sighted, she wasn't stupid. She wouldn't be so stupid as to turn against Jiang Pengji over a little humiliation.
Unless she had already found a more reliable backer. With this layer of protection, the empress dowager could easily turn against her.
Reality proved that Jiang Pengji's guess was correct.
Wu Ma Shang had thought that the throne was in the bag, but the final result was a harsh slap to his face. However, this person was ambitious. He wasn't someone who would give up easily. The empress dowager had entered his hunting range. As long as he completely controlled the empress dowager, it would be the same as controlling the young emperor.
At that time, Wu Ma Shang wouldn't be the emperor, but he would be more like the emperor.
On the other hand, the empress dowager wanted to find a reliable partner to work with. She hoped that she would have a partner to stabilize the position of the emperor and his mother.
Therefore, the two of them hit it off.
The empress dowager needed Wu Ma Shang's real power, and Wu Ma Shang wanted to use the empress dowager to control the emperor.
The two of them had their own plans and took what they needed.
Therefore, it wasn't unreasonable for the empress dowager to cooperate with Wu Ma Shang to embarrass Jiang Pengji in the court.
However, the level was still a little low.
Jiang Pengji finally spoke.
She smiled and said, "Your subject has no objections. Let's do as the county chief said and summon the witness."
