Tang Xiangguo was furious, "Nonsense!" After taking a few deep breaths, he finally had the strength to turn around and explain himself to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Yue deliberately framed me. There is no evidence to support his accusations. Your Majesty, please understand!"
/p
Prince Yue said, "The massacre of the Sun family, the assassination of the dancers in the tent, the annihilation of Suo Chaoluo's troops. Tang Xiangguo, do you really think that you can rest easy just because you have Guan Zhongsheng's secret technique?"
/p
Tang Xiangguo gritted his teeth, but he could only play dumb, "What secret technique? Our Guanzhong Holy Village has always abided by the laws of the great country, we have not violated any of the human race's secret techniques. Since we pledged allegiance, we have not violated any of the laws. Yue Wangye is speaking without thinking this time, you have committed the serious crime of slandering an official of the country. Aren't you afraid that the heavens will send down a bolt of lightning to strike you? "
/p
Prince Yue said leisurely, "Even the Heavens dare!"
/p
There really was a thunderous boom that tore through the air. Prince Yue did not move, but Tang Xiangguo was so scared that his face turned pale. He did not manage to slow down and took two steps back. Who was real and who was fake was scared out of their wits by a bolt of lightning. The people in the hall were all quick-witted and instantly made their own decisions. Prince Yue glanced at the pale-faced Tang Xiangguo. He looked at him with disdain as if he was looking at a piece of garbage and said coldly, "Prime Minister, you have been in a high position for too long. You have long forgotten what is called the Heavens' justice. The old Saintess of Guanzhong Sheng, who was supporting you, ran away when she saw that the situation was not in her favor. You were left alone in front of the hall. How pitiful. "
/p
Tang Xiangguo's teeth chattered. He was afraid that Prince Yue was telling the truth, but he still said firmly, "If Prince Yue really admits that I am guilty, then show me the evidence now!"
/p
Prince Yue quickly followed up with Tang Xiangguo's words, "The skeletons of the Sun family and Suo Chonluo's tribe have not been completely burned. The dancers that you ordered to be buried are also under this prince's control. Does Xiang Guo want this prince to wake them up?"
/p
Tang Xiangguo could not even hold his finger steady. His teeth were chattering and his eyes were wide open, "You!!"
/p
Official Hu of the Ministry of Works interjected, "Your Majesty, ever since the founding of the Da Qi, Emperor Taizu has already issued an order that 'no inhuman occult techniques can be used in Da Qi's territory'. If Tang Xiangguo is really guilty of using occult techniques, then it won't be as simple as framing a prince."
/p
Xu Daren stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our Imperial Court's three most unpardonable crimes are rebellion, treason, and the discovery of secret techniques. Now Tang Xiangguo has committed three major crimes, his heart is as fierce as a tiger and as fierce as a jackal. I hope Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict to punish him! "
/p
"This subject agrees."
/p
"This subject also agrees."
/p
Suo Chaoluo's son, He Shuo, who had been handcuffed by the Emperor, knelt on the ground again. He gritted his teeth and said, "This subject agrees!"
/p
Hundreds of officials dared to second the motion to convict Tang Chengjue when the evidence had not been fully announced. It seemed that he had committed a big taboo. It was as if everyone could spit a mouthful of thick phlegm from their thick throats onto his face and curse him. But strangely, Tang Chengjue saw that the situation was hopeless. He could not avoid being sent to prison and the calamity of his clan. However, his face gradually changed from agitation to fear. Slowly, it was covered with a layer of tranquility like stagnant water. The more officials seconded the motion, the calmer he became. His eyes looked straight outside the tent, as if he was waiting for something.
/p
Prince Yue took advantage of the chaos to return to my side. The officials were waiting for the Emperor to make a decision. In an instant, the tent became quiet. I looked at Tang Chengjue, this cheap father, and felt a bit strange. Since it was already a dead end, there was no need for him to be so calm.
/p
There was a buzzing sound that came from far and near. Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the tent were not paying attention to me, I hurriedly threw away my appearance and fanned the area around my head. What's wrong? Are there mosquitoes?
/p
Prince Yue snorted disdainfully. "Either the fish dies or the net splits?"
/p
I looked back in surprise.
/p
Prince Yue asked me, "Do you still remember what happened when you went back to visit your parents on the second day of your wedding?"
/p
I listened carefully. The buzzing sound became clearer and more familiar. I listened carefully and was shocked. "Are you talking about the insects that made me sleep for a few days? That was the defense of the Tang family!"
/p
Tang Chengjue suddenly strode to the center of the tent. He spun in circles as if he was dancing. As he spun, he laughed strangely.
/p
I looked at Prince Yue and said, "He won't be …"
/p
Prince Yue said, "Hiding it in his corporeal body, how ruthless."
/p
I wrinkled my nose and felt nauseous.
/p
I looked at the man in the tent. Even if his appearance was ordinary and he often showed a fierce face, he was still a living person who was breathing and had a heartbeat. The women of Guan Zhongsheng Village were so cruel that they could treat a living person as a golden box to raise insects.
/p
Moreover, he was a living person who was related by blood.
/p
In the center of the tent, Xiang Guo, who was laughing non-stop, suddenly stopped laughing. He took a deep breath and raised his head to the sky again. I don't know why the people in the tent, who were full of etiquette, did not come forward to stop him. Instead, they quietly retreated to the side and looked at the rich and glorious Xiang Guo.
/p
"Born with bitterness, life is a mustard," Tang Chengjue unexpectedly sang. "The official career is a chess piece, everything is not controlled by people."
/p
He seemed to have gone mad. Suddenly, he flung his sleeves and began to chase them away. His eyes were as big as brass bells, and they were about to explode. "Hurry up and leave. You will all die in my hands in a moment. Hahahaha. Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave!"
/p
He was crying and laughing, and his mouth was full of nonsense. Finally, someone came forward and reprimanded him, "Crazy words, where is your decency?"
/p
Tang Chengjue ignored him. He raised his neck and almost broke it. He said loudly, "Son, as your father, I'm sorry!" Two lines of tears fell from his eyes and hit the ground. He lowered his head and whimpered, "Mother, you are so cruel."
/p
I stuck my head out and wanted to see more, but Prince Yue suddenly pulled me behind him and used his left hand to cover my eyes.
/p
There was a feeling of burning fire.
/p
All of a sudden, a commotion broke out in the tent, followed by a long howl of relief.
/p
The Prince of Yue removed his hand from my eyes, but his tall body stubbornly blocked in front of me. His eyes were filled with tenderness and worry. I already understood what happened in my heart. I also understood that no matter what happened, this cheap father of mine deserved it. I still wanted to open my mouth to comfort him, but the moment I opened my mouth, my mouth twitched violently. I didn't know when, but the tears hidden in my eyes directly rolled down like rain.
/p
Humans were strange creatures.
/p
The Prince of Yue didn't stop me from crying. In this situation, I should have cried loudly. He changed his position and leaned to the side to support me, so that I didn't have to stand up straight and didn't have to be tired. I looked at the center of the tent through the mist and saw a pile of ashes that looked like a bun. Beside it was a pile of dead fireflies that were still glowing. It looked like incense and candles for the later generations to offer sacrifices.
/p
It seems that in the future, no one will worship this Prime Minister.
/p
The tent was silent for a moment. The ministers looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do. If they continued to impeach Tang Chengjue, everything would be in vain once he died. Everyone still wanted to keep some virtue for themselves. If they criticized Prince Yue for being quick and ruthless, no matter what, he had done a meritorious service to protect the Emperor. If they impeached Prince Yue, wouldn't the Emperor be unhappy?
/p
Everyone's minds turned 180 times, but in the end, they still decided that silence was golden. They lowered their heads and mourned in silence.
/p
The Emperor's face was gloomy. After a series of assassinations in the past few days, his heart was probably not feeling too good. He angrily snorted, stood up from the dragon throne, and gave a concise and comprehensive order: "Destroy the Tang family."
/p
After saying that, he swung his sleeves and left. He didn't even let the Empress follow.
/p
In this tent, the only people who could take the Emperor's order were the members of the Cabinet. Except for Tang Chengjue, who had died and turned into ashes, only Hu Shangshu, who had a handlebar mustache, was in the Cabinet. But Hu Shangshu didn't dare to make a decision. What kind of logic was it to let a member of the Cabinet go and destroy the Prime Minister's house?
/p
The old man shook his beard and came to ask for help. Even if he was old, he still had to ask for help. He bowed and said, "Prince Yue, I don't know how to execute His Majesty's order." He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't know how to execute it."
/p
Prince Yue didn't even raise his eyes. "This prince is just a rough man who leads troops. Naturally, I don't know what Imperial Father means."
/p
Old man Hu froze in place. Prince Yue didn't intend to intervene anymore?
/p
Prince Yue didn't make up his mind. "The most important thing now is to detain Tang Chengjue and Tang Min."
/p
Hu Shangshu probably remembered the screech that disturbed people's minds. He said with concern, "If, if they run away …"
/p
Prince Yue's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "If they run away, then send a notice to the Ministry of War. Inform the yamen of each province and county that they have already committed crimes. If they run away, they will become enemies with the hundreds of millions of Da Qi citizens!"
/p
Hu Shangshu's heart relaxed. He bowed again and hurried out to do his work. In the tent hall, there was no Long Live Their Master. Everyone who was on good terms with each other returned to their respective halls. This case of rebellion had finally come to an end. Everyone was mentally and physically exhausted.
/p
The Prince of Yue originally wanted to help me back to my tent to recuperate. With my injuries, it was already the limit for me to stand until now. But at this time, someone uninterested shouted, "Prince of Yue, take care." I didn't control my facial expression and turned my head with a face full of hatred. At a glance, I discovered that it was the graceful and luxurious Empress who had spoken.
/p
I immediately lowered my head and adjusted my expression.
/p
Fortunately, the Empress's target wasn't me. She rushed over with an anxious face. She waved her hand. It looked like she was going to bow.
/p
Prince Yue was a subject and son. If he was willing to let his Di Mother bow, then his brain must be damaged. He reached out to support her. I don't know how he used his strength, but the Empress couldn't kneel anymore. Prince Yue said, "This son can't accept the Empress's bow. If the Empress needs any trouble, just tell me."
/p
The Empress's face was pale. She looked pitiful. "Old Seven, Old Seven, he …"
/p
At this moment, Hu Daren, who had gone out to handle some matters, also happened to enter the palace with a gloomy face. "Rebels and traitors, the Empress Palace is indeed empty. The Tang Family's Old Lady and Tang Min are extremely daring, actually daring to take the Seventh Prince and escape!"
