He spoke calmly, but his tone was very dangerous, revealing the pressure of an emperor.
GongYimo raised her head and looked straight at him, saying loudly, "Of course! I'm here to complain to you! "
Her words made everyone present have different expressions. Emperor Cheng was silent for a moment, glancing at the many people below, and said coldly.
"Who do you want to complain to?"
GongYimo smiled slightly, looking tired, but her movements were very graceful as she bowed.
"This humble girl has three complaints, I hope Your Majesty can make a decision!"
"— Speak!"
Gong Yi Mo didn't seem to be the slightest bit afraid of the Emperor's aura. She looked at the people on the wall, who were all staring at her like a tiger watching its prey. It was as if the words that came out of her mouth were not words, but blades.
The sky was gloomy, large black clouds gathered, as if it was going to rain. The winter wind was biting cold and tearing. GongYimo tidied the hair by her ear, took a deep breath, and said calmly.
"First, I'm going to complain to the princes!" Her gaze fell on the princes of different ages behind the ministers, but she only glanced at them indifferently, as if she was disdainful.
"Since the construction of the canal began to be successful, there have been countless people who secretly tried to trip us up! Especially the frequent movements of the clans behind the princes! We have been wholeheartedly at the front line, working hard day and night! But there are so many people who not only don't want to leave Your Majesty's sight to seek favor, but also want to reap without sowing. Their actions are despicable! "
She didn't point at anyone, but her tone of disgust made many people's hearts tremble.
But at this time, the common people were watching, so even if those princes were angry in their hearts, they could not show it! They were afraid that if they opened their mouths at this time, they would be remembered by the students below and be condemned in speech and writing. So they could only glare fiercely at GongYimo!
When the emperor heard this, he could not help but think of the year and a half when the crown prince was building the canal, the princes secretly squeezed him, and the concubines from time to time, and he could not say anything to refute. If it were not for his strong support, the canal would only be half built now.
Thinking of this, Emperor Cheng felt unreasonably disgusted with those people.
"This humble girl's second complaint! Tell the minister! "
Without waiting for Gong Cheng to react, GongYimo's slender finger pointed at the people on the city wall. Her small face was pale as she sneered.
"The Crown Prince was almost killed by an assassination attempt, but when it reached His Highness's ears, it was as if the Crown Prince had deliberately faked an assassination attempt in order to avoid returning to the capital.
As a result, His Majesty issued three imperial edicts to force the Crown Prince to return to the capital. The Crown Prince almost died on the way back!
As a minister, you don't think about how to benefit the people, don't think about how to develop and innovate. Your structure and vision are actually limited to fighting for favor, framing, and eliminating dissidents like the women in the harem. Your actions are like those of the sages! "
She mocked him coldly, each and every one of her words ringing in his ears! As for the ministers around the emperor, some of them were ashamed, some of them were pale, and some of them were flustered and exasperated!
"You're simply slandering me! You keep saying that you're defending the Crown Prince, but you're just trying to get the Crown Prince off the hook! He had just dug out the copper cauldron with the words' The Builder of the Canal, Long Ze the World ', and now he was saying that he had been assassinated and was on the verge of death! Who knows if the Crown Prince was blown away by the vile people around him, or because of the prophecy of 'blessing the world', that's why he disobeyed the imperial edicts? "
A minister fiercely stared at GongYimo, "You keep saying that the Crown Prince is in danger, but didn't he come back safe and sound?"
His meaning was very clear. He was saying that Gong Che was pretending, and GongYimo was here just to wash away Gong Che's crime of rebellion.
GongYimo laughed out loud!
"Your Majesty … Do you also think so?"
Gong Cheng's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth. From Chang Xi's report, he might have wronged the Crown Prince, but that giant cauldron was like a thorn that pierced his suspicious heart.
"The man who built the canal will bless the world …" GongYimo touched her chin and suddenly laughed, "You … Do you want me to be the Empress?"
These words were simply treasonous. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
Without waiting for Chang Xi to boldly shout, GongYimo leisurely turned around on the deck. She looked at herself and said in astonishment.
"I actually didn't know that I had the talent to be the Emperor."
"Impudent!"
Gong Cheng's face was livid as he hammered the siege wall! Who gave her the courage to say such words in front of the whole world?! He even wanted to directly let Chang Xi kill GongYimo, lest she continue to mislead the public with her lies!
But GongYimo looked up at the Emperor doubtfully, "Isn't it so? Your Majesty, don't you know that it was my idea to build the canal? "
His words made Gong Cheng choke, and GongYimo pointed at the minister who spoke just now and sneered, "And didn't he say that the man who built the canal will bless the world?"
Then, as the instigator who proposed and planned this matter, wasn't the prophecy referring to her?
Some officials were immediately dissatisfied, and the Left Prime Minister directly jumped out and said, "You don't need to mislead the public with your lies to whitewash the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince built the canal and won the hearts of the people? These people at the city gate are the evidence! He is the man who built the canal, and also the person who the people support. Then, how could the prophecy not refer to the Crown Prince? "
After saying that, he felt that he had misspoken, but before he could add anything to cover it up, GongYimo glanced at him and laughed arrogantly! Her laughter contained inner force, and it spread far and wide! It made people inexplicably uneasy.
"Then you're wrong!"
After GongYimo finished speaking, she suddenly jumped up and onto the pillar between the railings in front of her!
The wind tore her long hair, making her look like she was about to fly, but she stood so straight! Her entire body seemed to extend from her spine to endless strength! She stood on the bow of the ship with an indomitable spirit!
Many people cried out in alarm, afraid that she would fall, but GongYimo looked up to the sky and laughed. Her sleeves fluttered as she raised her arm and shouted!
"Look carefully! These people! They're all here because of me! I'm the one who built the canal, I'm the one who won the hearts of the people! In terms of merit, my reputation will spread far and wide! I, GongYimo, am here! Who dares to fight for the peak?! "
Her words were like a clap of thunder, and her momentum was monstrous! It made many people panic, and they felt a sense of admiration and fear!
But the response was like a tide!
All the students and people heard this and knelt down, bowing their heads and shouting piously.
"I swear to serve the Princess! I'll die ten thousand deaths!! "
"I'll die ten thousand deaths!!"
The earth-shattering words were like an oath, and it made many people on the city wall feel admiration and admiration. Even those who hated her were convinced!
But was GongYimo crazy? Even if she wanted to exonerate Gong Che, she shouldn't take this kind of capital crime on herself.
Seeing GongYimo's appeal with his own eyes, Gong Cheng felt a deep sense of shock and fear. He really didn't expect that a woman could not only gain the gratitude of the people, but also gain the recognition of so many students!
These scholars ah, they looked down on women the most. Why did GongYimo have such appeal and charm, to make so many students bow down to her?
He looked deeply at GongYimo.
But there was a slight tremor in his voice.
"What about the third complaint?"
GongYimo's eyes met his in an instant. That obviously young and tender face showed an inharmonious sadness that went deep into the bone marrow …
"The third complaint, I'll sue Your Majesty!"
