Chapter 2 Where did I go wrong?(1/2)
Not only Chu Ao was surprised, but the elders in the meeting hall and even the clansmen outside the hall were all stunned!
Because in their impression, Chu Jingtian has always been submissive, let alone this unceremonious rebuke in front of the family elders!
"Chu Jingtian, what do you mean, you loser?"
The great elder's face instantly darkened.
In the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, the Great Elder covered the sky with his hands and was only located under Chu Ao. Anyone who saw him had to bow to him and did not dare to say anything offensive.
Now that Chu Jingtian was scolding him in public, how could he swallow his breath?
"Did I hear you correctly? How dare Chu Jingtian speak to the Great Elder like this?!"
"How arrogant! After committing such a big crime, you still dare to be arrogant. If such a person stays in the palace, he will cause even bigger troubles!" An elder shook his head and sneered.
"If he hadn't been the son of King Beiliang, he might have been killed with sticks!"
Everyone looked at Chu Jingtian with gloating joy.
This time Chu Jingtian had offended too much, and the King of Beiliang could not protect him.
You must know that the King of Beiliang only has one son, Chu Jingtian. In the Yan Dynasty, which respected martial arts, Chu Jingtian has basically cut off the possibility of succeeding the King of Beiliang.
Many elders in the family are eyeing the position of King Beiliang.
All along, although Chu Jingtian was a playboy, he had not made any big mistakes, and many elders had no excuse to attack!
Now these elders want to bring Chu Jingtian to death!
"Great Elder, my father is the King of Northern Liang. He didn't even speak. Who do you think you are? Why do you have the right to speak here?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Jingtian's eyes.
In the previous life, the powerful Northern Liang Palace was so defeated that the Ninth Prince killed the entire clan in just one night. The biggest reason was the Great Elder.
He coveted the position of King of Northern Liang and betrayed the entire family!
That night, the Beiliang Prince's Mansion was filled with blood.
"you……"
The great elder scolded Chu Jingtian in his heart.
But just as the other party said, Chu Ao did not speak. It was indeed against the rules for him, the great elder, to attack first.
Forcibly swallowing the bad breath in his heart, the great elder turned to look at Chu Ao and said:
"Clan leader! It's up to you to decide Chu Jingtian's crime."
The surprise in Chu Ao's eyes became stronger, but he did not show it, but said:
"Chu Jingtian, Great Elder, let's put this matter aside for now. Today I'm holding a regular family meeting to discuss the three crimes you committed! Chu Jingtian, do you know how much trouble your actions have brought to the palace?"
As soon as Chu Ao finished speaking, a hint of joy flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
He looked at Chu Jingtian with a proud face and even showed a provocative smile.
'Weren't you arrogant before?'
'Now I see how you are still so proud! You have offended the King of Jinling, the royal family, and disgraced the Prince of Beiliang. Even your father can't protect you. I will look after you later!'
Everyone present shook their heads and sighed.
Chu Ao looked indifferent and said:
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"Wrong, what's wrong with me?"
Chu Jingtian chuckled.
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Chu Ao's face turned even colder. His original intention was to let Chu Jingtian admit his mistake in person, and he would take responsibility for this matter as the King of Beiliang. But he never expected that Chu Jingtian would actually say this.
The great elder, who had been silent all this time, had a look of pride on his face, and he was already clapping his hands and shouting:
"Chu Jingtian, you have committed a heinous crime. Whether it is embezzling the treasury, molesting the princess, or failing in a fight, they are all capital crimes. You have committed all three crimes at the same time, and you still dare not to plead guilty and don't know your fault?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Jingtian one after another, the anger in their eyes difficult to conceal.
It should be noted that Chu Jingtian's incident has alarmed the emperor, and even the emperor has to give an explanation.
"The King of Northern Liang was famous all his life, but he was so useless when he gave birth to a son!" Some people couldn't help but sigh.
"If he admits his mistake obediently, he may still be able to escape, but he is so stubborn that he may not be able to escape unscathed!" Someone shook his head slowly, as if he had already seen Chu Jingtian's ending.
This matter is so big that it can't even be brought to an end.
Chu Jingtian refused to admit his guilt, which simply added fuel to the fire.
At this time, the second elder stood up and said righteously:
"Master, I'm afraid you still don't know the seriousness of the matter. I advise you to kowtow and admit your mistake now. Maybe there is still a way out. If you continue to be tough, hum..."
He didn't finish what he said, but the meaning between the lines was extremely obvious.
At this time, everyone looked at Chu Jingtian with either contempt, ridicule, or disdain.
"Someone, take the young master down!"
Chu Ao sighed.
In his opinion, Chu Jingtian was at his wits end.
Too!
Even if he wanted to deal with such a huge disaster, it would be very difficult and difficult for him. With Chu Jingtian, how could he solve it?
As soon as he finished speaking, several warriors walked out of the hall.
The great elder could not hide the proud look on his face. He looked at Chu Jingtian and thought to himself:
'Chu Jingtian, although you can survive this disaster, your status and reputation in the Beiliang Prince's Palace will drop to freezing point in the future, and the power of the family will eventually fall into my hands.'
The great elder was secretly proud.
"Master, please!"
The family warriors looked at Chu Jingtian expressionlessly, with disdain in their eyes.
The second elder shook his head secretly, even if he was in Chu Jingtian's position, he would still be dead.
Everyone looked at Chu Jingtian and whispered more and more.
"In the future, this Chu Jingtian will not only become the laughing stock of the Northern Liang Palace, but it will also spread throughout the entire Yan Dynasty!"
"But this time, Chu Jingtian is afraid that he will be completely banned in the palace. In the future, he will be far away from the center of power in the palace and can only be an ordinary person!"
"However, he is lucky to be able to escape death!"
Seeing Chu Jingtian who was about to be kicked out of the meeting hall, many people had already seen the situation in the future.
What's surprising is that Chu Jingtian is still standing in the center of the hall, motionless.
When several guards saw a look of impatience on Chu Ao's face, they were immediately ready to grab Chu Jingtian and drag him out of the meeting hall.
Suddenly Chu Jingtian raised his head and smiled:
"What am I guilty of?"
Facing the shocked and incredible expressions of everyone, Chu Jingtian was not at all as panicked as everyone imagined, but said calmly:
"I'm not wrong at all, and I'm not guilty at all!"
"So, why do you ask me to plead guilty?"
"presumptuous!"
Faced with Chu Jingtian's denial in every possible way, Chu Ao also became angry.
If such crimes were committed on others, no matter which one of them, the consequences would be to be executed. If it were not for the sake of his reputation as the King of Beiliang, it would not be an exaggeration to beat Chu Jingtian to death on the spot.
As a result, Chu Jingtian still doesn’t even have a simple attitude of admitting his guilt!
"I have never seen the King of Beiliang so angry! Now Chu Jingtian is finished. If the King of Beiliang is cruel and hands him over, he will definitely die!"
"Hey, how could King Beiliang have such a son? Is he still a man? Do you dare to do it or not?"
“It’s really shocking!”
At this time, everyone looked at Chu Jingtian with only contempt and ridicule.
Some people can't help but rejoice in others' misfortune.
The second elder even sighed and said:
"Master, don't you understand the seriousness of the matter? The Yan Dynasty intends to use the tax revenue you have collected to purchase military supplies and strengthen soldiers and horses. General Shi Yunfei has even gone to the emperor!
"
"As for the King of Jinling, his status in the Yan Dynasty is even higher than that of our Beiliang Palace. After you teased the princess, he even sent troops to surround the Beiliang Palace for three days!"
"And your defeat to Zhang Ruochen, the third prince of the Yunwu Dynasty, made the emperor even more angry... These three crimes are obvious to all in the Dayan Kingdom!"
To be continued...
