"Now, Brother Crown Prince is pleading for mercy because he cares about his family. Are you trying to smear his name?!"
GongYimo glared at the officials as she spoke.
Gong Che opened his mouth to refute. He could not watch his grandfather take the blame alone! How was he different from a beast? But just as he was about to speak, GongYimo glared at him! "Brother Crown Prince is muddle-headed! Although the Right Prime Minister is brother's closest kin, and I can understand brother Crown Prince's concern. But brother Crown Prince doesn't want mother anymore? You should know that when I came over just now, mother almost committed suicide! "
When Gong Che heard this, the hand by his side clenched tightly into a fist!
"Mother!"
GongYimo continued, "Luckily, I saved her in time. Otherwise, nothing would have happened."
Someone sneered when they heard that the Empress wanted to commit suicide. "This is because the matter was exposed and she wants to commit suicide! Your Majesty, please investigate! "
GongYimo glared at him when she heard this. Then, she hurriedly explained to the Emperor.
"Mother knew that this was the Liu family's doing. She felt guilty towards father, so she did this.
She told me that she did not manage her family well. She has a heavy responsibility, but brother Crown Prince did not do anything wrong. Father, please show mercy! After all, the Crown Prince reminded you and escorted you. Father, please don't blame a good person … "
"Nonsense!" Someone suddenly said angrily. "This disaster relief cost more than ten million. Even if the Right Prime Minister did not have the ambition, he would still eat it!"
GongYimo's eyes were smiling, but a cold light flashed in them. "This lord is right! … This princess is also clear about this corruption. It's just the big fish eating the small fish. It's really interesting when I think about it. I heard that corruption of Xi Zhou's disaster relief materials is a common occurrence. Only the Right Prime Minister took the biggest share? This princess does not believe that there is such a good thing! We must investigate thoroughly! "
Her words made the officials who were involved in corruption in Xi Zhou not dare to speak. The discussion hall quieted down.
The Emperor listened to her long speech, but did not stop her immediately. This made her slightly relieved. She said earnestly to the Crown Prince.
"Big Brother Crown Prince, are you really going to take responsibility for this family that made a mistake?"
At this time, how could Gong Che not understand GongYimo's painstaking efforts? Seeing her argue with the crowd of scholars for his sake, Gong Che's heart warmed, but he still knelt there resolutely.
"Imperial Sister, you don't have to say anymore. Because of me, I am willing to resign from the position of Crown Prince. I hope that Imperial Father will be lenient with the Liu Clan!"
After saying that, he kowtowed deeply with determination.
GongYimo was furious, "Crown Prince gege, aren't you afraid that mother will die from grief?"
She said the word 'die' very forcefully. Gong Che understood what she meant. If he wasn't the Crown Prince, not only would his life be in danger, his mother wouldn't have it easy either. Sooner or later, she would die in the harem. But was he going to give up on his grandfather because of this?
Gong Che looked at the side of the Right Minister's face that was covered in messy hair. He really couldn't bear it!
GongYimo suddenly shouted angrily at the Right Minister, "It's all your fault! It's not enough that you harmed mother, now you want to harm Big Brother Crown Prince. Why don't you go and die?! "
Her words made the Right Minister feel blessed! He looked at GongYimo. The little girl in front of him had a serious expression. It was obvious that she would really do her best to help the Crown Prince!
That was enough.
The Right Minister's tears flowed down his face. He suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, grandfather has let you down!"
After saying that, he quickly got up and kowtowed on the Dragon Pillar! Blood flowed like a river. The scene was in an uproar. Gong Che was stunned! He raised his hand in a daze, but it was useless …
He looked at his grandfather who was lying motionless on the ground, and then looked at GongYimo. His eyes were straight, with a trace of coldness and emptiness.
"Your Majesty, the Right Minister … is dead."
Chang Xi touched his body and said. There was a moment of dead silence in the main hall. Very quickly, someone dragged the body away. A person who had been in a high position for many years, who was always in the limelight, seemed to have died at this moment!
When Gong Che heard that, his body went limp and sat on the ground!
He had no way to recover from such a huge change of events. Mother wanted to commit suicide, and GongYimo forced his grandfather to commit suicide!
"Your Majesty! This person committed suicide to escape punishment! Could it be that he thought that with his death, the Liu family's sins would be absolved? " The Left Minister suddenly stepped forward and sneered, "And Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince must be involved in this matter. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!"
Today, he must destroy the Liu family!
The Crown Prince was stunned. His grandfather who used to encourage him to work hard had died in front of him, and GongYimo had personally forced him to death! He felt like he was in hell.
The battle in the imperial court was sometimes more tragic than the battlefield!
GongYimo looked at Gong Che and sighed.
"The Right Minister has been executed. Let's not talk about the past crimes. Let's talk about this time, the Liu family did not succeed. If not for the Crown Prince's help, I would not have been able to see the opportunity. Hence, I think that the Crown Prince has already atoned for his crimes. Imperial Father, please let Brother Crown Prince off! "
The Emperor was originally rubbing his forehead. When he heard that, he looked at the despondent Crown Prince and spoke in a low voice.
"Alright, the Crown Prince has atoned for his crimes. He has not done anything wrong. Send the Crown Prince back to the palace!"
Chang Xi accepted the order and quickly stepped forward. At this moment, Gong Che suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at the Emperor. "Then … what about the Liu family?"
The evidence of the Liu family's crimes was conclusive. Was he still going to plead for mercy? As the Crown Prince, how could he be so unreasonable?
Thinking of this, the Emperor was furious!
"Openly embezzling and using this as a pretext, the Liu family's crimes are unforgivable!"
When Gong Che heard this, he once again shook off Chang Xi's hand and deeply buried his head in the ground. His voice was choked with sobs.
"Imperial Father! This matter has not been settled. Moreover, I believe that the Liu family is not the repeat offender. I beg Imperial Father to investigate the truth and not rashly convict them. Give the Liu family justice! "
At this moment, someone from the Ministry of Rites laughed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are interesting. Do we have to wait for the matter to be settled before we can punish them? The Liu family is a relative of the imperial family, yet they knowingly broke the law. They should be punished even more! "
His words made the Emperor's expression turn even uglier! He waved his hand. "What are you waiting for? Send the Crown Prince back to the palace!"
GongYimo was anxious. In her previous life, Gong Che, who had lost everything, lived such a hard life. Since she had already agreed to help him, she did not want him to make the same mistake in this life.
Therefore, she quickly knelt in front of the Emperor and said loudly, "Imperial Father! Although they have all broken the law, depending on the severity of the case, they should be sentenced differently! Since the Liu family's scheme has failed and Prime Minister Liu has atoned for his crimes with his death, Imperial Father, please let the Liu family off this time! "
The Emperor was in a fit of anger. When he saw that GongYimo dared to go against his decision, he narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Shut up! It seems that I have spoiled you too much. You actually dare to question my decision?! "
The heavy pressure of the Emperor made GongYimo a little breathless. She understood that pleading for leniency would only make things worse. However, the words had already been spoken, and she could not take them back.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Imperial Father … You often say that it is important to establish the country and to pacify the country, it is important to be humane. Why can't you give the Liu family a way out?"
"Impudent!" She had rebelled! She had really rebelled. She actually wanted to lecture him? The Emperor was furious and said angrily, "What are you waiting for?! Take the Princess away! She is forbidden from entering Taiji Palace! "
