Xia Hao knew his father too well. When he heard this, his legs went soft and he knelt down directly.
Chu Mo's Heaven Piercing Sword did not leave his neck.
In the banquet hall, only Chu Mo and the Emperor were left standing.
The Emperor frowned slightly. "Why are you kneeling? Why are there so many rules at the New Year's Banquet? Get up, get up, all of you may rise! "
At this moment, if the people still could not see the Emperor's attitude, then they would really be seeing a ghost! However, it was precisely because of the Emperor's attitude that countless people cried in their hearts!
The people stood up in a hubbub. Now, in the whole banquet hall, only one person was left kneeling … the Third Prince, Xia Hao!
At this moment, Xia Hao's face lost all color, and the depths of his eyes were full of fear.
Chu Mo looked at the Emperor and said slowly, "Your Majesty is wise, please forgive me for my rudeness …"
The Emperor smiled and shook his head. "I haven't forgiven you yet."
Chu Mo smiled slightly. "Xia Hao, as the Prince of Da Xia, you should set an example for all the officials and the people! Be an upright, fair, generous, and kind person! But he can't distinguish right from wrong, invert black from white, be narrow-minded, and deceive the Emperor … It is not an exaggeration to say that he should be killed! "
"Oh?" The Emperor looked at Chu Mo with great interest. "How can you not distinguish right from wrong? Invert black from white, be narrow-minded, and deceive the Emperor? "
"Zhao Yi is a dog official! He was instigated by someone to frame me. When his deed was exposed, he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he spouted empty words and fabricated a story out of thin air. He even slandered a Great Xia general who served the country … Such a dog official, even if he had a hundred dog heads, he should be chopped off! "Chu Mo coldly said," Your Highness the Third Prince, what have you done? He helped to slander an upright and loyal General Da Xia, and helped the dog official Zhao Yi to cover up the shameless rumors. As a prince, he wanted to recruit my grandfather and was reprimanded by my grandfather. Thus, he bore a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. This matter has irrefutable evidence. I don't believe that His Majesty doesn't know about it! "
The Emperor's face didn't change. He looked at Chu Mo and said: "Go on."
Coldly, Chu Mo said, "What else is there to say? The facts were right there! Xia Hao colluded with Zhao Yi, they were simply jackals of the same tribe! Wasn't this kind of shameless thing unable to distinguish right from wrong, narrow-minded, and deceiving the monarch? Shouldn't he be killed? Could it be that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was wearing a glittering prince's coat? You think you can frame me just like that? You think you can defile someone's innocence? "
Chu Mo raised his head and looked at the Emperor's expressionless face. "Ruo, this is Da Xia! Then, I don't want to be a citizen of Da Xia! "
His words silenced the entire banquet hall. Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at this young man.
"It's over …"
Xu Zhong sighed in his conscience. He thought to himself, "You little thing, I praised you for being calm and having the demeanor of a great general. Now, you actually dared to say these words in front of the Emperor.
Even if what you said is right and is the truth, where would the emperor put his face? No matter how much the Third Prince deserved to die … he was still a prince! He was the Emperor's own flesh and blood!
Now, not to mention the Hero's Medal, I'm afraid it's uncertain whether you can walk out of this palace in one piece.
But today, even if I have to risk it all, I must ensure your safety. As for the future … I can't care about it anymore!
Xia Hao was scolded badly by Chu Mo. He knelt there, completely dumbfounded by the scolding. His face turned from green to white, from white to red, from red to purple, from purple to black … Anyway, this was the first time in his life that this highly respected prince of Da Xia had suffered such a serious blow.
The Emperor was also a little stunned by Chu Mo's scolding. His dignified face twitched slightly. He looked at Chu Mo seriously. Chu Mo also looked back at him without hesitation.
In the whole of Da Xia, there was almost no one who dared to look him in the eye like this.
This made the Emperor feel very fresh. He looked at Chu Mo and revealed a playful smile. "Little guy, the one you scolded … is my son. The dog official whom you chopped off just now is also an official appointed by me. Hey, if he is a dog official, what am I? A dog emperor? "
The thousands of people in the banquet hall were all so scared that their faces turned ashen. They wanted to kneel down subconsciously.
The Emperor waved his hand. "What business is it of yours? Just watch! "
Xu Zhongliang desperately winked at Chu Mo. He believed that Chu Mo must be able to understand what he meant. At this time, the most appropriate thing to do was to quickly kneel down on the ground and say that the boy was presumptuous!
But Chu Mo smiled. "That depends on how Your Majesty deals with today's matter! Zhao Yi is a dog official. What does it have to do with Your Majesty? Even in the palace … there must be a few cockroaches and mice, right? If everything can be blamed on Your Majesty, then being an emperor … is really tiring. "
The Emperor couldn't help laughing. "Hahahaha, stinky boy, your words … make me feel good! It's so reasonable! You can't put all the sh * t on my head, can you? "
Chu Mo glanced at the Emperor and said in a low voice, "It's not Your Majesty's fault to have a few dog officials. But it's Your Majesty's fault for neglecting to discipline your son."
The Emperor glanced at Xia Hao, who was kneeling there. "Did you hear that? If you do something wrong, others will say it's your father's fault. "
Xia Hao knelt there in a daze. His face turned green, red, and purple. Suddenly … he burst into tears.
"Father, your son deserves to die … your son is wrong … your son has embarrassed Father, please punish me!"
"You should be punished. Set off tonight to the northern border. Within 10 years, you are not allowed to return to Yan Huang City!" The Emperor lowered his eyelids and said indifferently.
But this sentence was like a bolt out of the blue!
All the people in the banquet hall … were stunned!
The Emperor actually … banished the Third Prince, Xia Hao!
He didn't ask any questions, didn't say a word, and just like that … he was sent to prison?
Moreover, it was on New Year's Eve. He was not even allowed to spend New Year's Eve in Yan Huang City. He was directly chased away!
What the hell was going on? Why did the Emperor favor Chu Mo so much?
This favor was not like a mountain … it was bigger than the sky!
What kind of favor and trust did he have to do this?
More people only had one question in their hearts: Chu Mo's actions just now were not disgraceful, but not far from it. Why was there not even a word of reprimand?
At this moment, the reprimand came.
The Emperor glanced at the Third Prince, Xia Hao, who was kneeling there in a daze. He glanced at the Crown Prince, Xia Ying, and the Second Prince, Xia Xiong, who were also stunned and did not dare to make a sound. Then he said, "What are you still kneeling there for? Hurry up and scram! "
As he spoke, he stared fiercely at Chu Mo. "Why are you still holding that broken knife to my son's neck? Do you want to chop off his dog head too? "
The corner of Chu Mo's mouth twitched. He retracted Glazed Heaven and chuckled. "How would I dare …"
"I see you even dare to chop me! Is there anything you don't dare to do? Get over here! I have something to ask you! " The Emperor glared fiercely at Chu Mo, then looked at Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong. "Both of you, get over here too!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked out slowly.
Countless shocked eyeballs were left in the banquet hall.
Everyone's faces were frozen with fear. They felt that today was the most exciting and soul-stirring day of their lives!
For the Grade 1 and Grade 2 officials who had been in the court for more than 20 years, it was the first time that they had seen the Emperor favor someone so much.
If not for the huge difference in appearance, they would even suspect that Chu Mo, who was an orphan, was the Emperor's illegitimate son!
At this moment, there were definitely more than one or two people who had such thoughts!
