Chen Yang was filled with anger and said: "Lu Jianxing, as a candidate appointed by our imperial court, represents the face of the imperial court!"
"Zhao Xiaole's move not only slaps Lu Jianxing in the face, but also slaps the face of the imperial court! It slaps the face of scholars all over the world!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but glance at them.
Well, there is progress!
Originally, he thought that these people would force each other to death like last time.
But now it seems that the other party obviously wants to push himself to be the opposite of a scholar.
This trick is really clever.
Even the imperial court was unwilling to offend these literati.
After all, we have to rely on these scholars to govern the world.
Moreover, in this era, literati control the public opinion of society!
If one of them fails, the people in power will be infamy for eternity!
Sure enough, the prince frowned slightly.
"As far as I know, it was Lu Jianxing who made rude remarks to Zhao Xiaole that day, so Zhao Xiaole did not arrest him for no reason."
"Then why not send Lu Jianxing to Jingzhao Yin Mansion for conviction?"
Chen Yang immediately retorted: "Whenever Zhao Xiaole sends Lu Jianxing to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Wei Chen will have nothing to say."
"But Zhao Xiaole obviously has no law and set up a private court to convict Lu Jianxing himself."
"In this case, what use is there for the Jingyang government? What use is there for the laws of the imperial court?"
His words were like a knife, and the prince's eyes showed surprise when he spoke.
This Chen Yang usually looks very discreet.
But at the critical moment, this mouth turns out to be so powerful!
The ministers in the court also exclaimed again and again, showing admiration on their faces.
I praised Chen Yang in my heart for how powerful he was. In terms of momentum, he could even overwhelm the prince!
So they all fell into the wind and impeached Zhao Xiaole one after another.
"Your Highness, Zhao Xiaole is really abominable. If he is not punished, how can he explain to the scholars in the world? How can he explain to all the people in the world?"
"Yes! If we let Zhao Xiaole go, wouldn't it chill the hearts of scholars all over the world?!"
"If Zhao Xiaole is not severely punished, the prestige of our court will be gone. Who will abide by the law? Does Your Highness want to see the rise of giant thieves and cause harm to thousands of miles away?!"
"..."
Zhao Xiaole almost wanted to clap his hands in admiration.
These people simply understand the moral kidnapping.
It seems that if Zhao Xiaole is not punished, thieves will appear everywhere and the world will be in chaos.
But in fact, they are the ones who are most disobedient to laws and regulations.
Why don’t we see people losing confidence in the imperial laws and uprisings happening all over the world?
But I have to say, this move is indeed ruthless.
Once the prince was ready to make this matter a trivial matter, it became a trivial matter.
They will immediately publicize the prince's actions everywhere, which will trigger the anger of scholars and the anger of all people in the world.
After all, the more educated you are, the less you can tolerate this.
They want to protect their own interests!
When the time comes, there will be verbal and written criticism, and even the prince will not be able to protect Zhao Xiaole!
So the prince is in a very difficult situation now.
Failure to do so may put Zhao Xiaole and himself into greater trouble.
But if he is not guaranteed, who knows what crime these people who want Zhao Xiaole to die will convict him of?!
So she obviously had a headache and didn't know what to do!
Seeing this scene, officials including Chen Yang had a sneer on their faces.
They just want to use the general trend of the world to force Zhao Xiaole to death.
Isn’t this tens of thousands of times better than those idiots who only know how to bang their heads against golden pillars?
Now seeing that the prince was unable to do anything about it, they felt inexplicably happy.
It turns out that even an emperor is nothing more than this!
They sneered, wanting to see how the prince would compromise with them, and how Zhao Xiaole would beg for mercy from them.
Haha, aren't you crazy?
Last time I humiliated a bunch of officials here, now let people taste the price of this humiliation!
However, just when everyone was feeling proud, Zhao Xiaole suddenly knelt in front of the prince.
"Your Highness, the ministers are right. This slave is indeed guilty. Please punish him!"
"Um?"
"Um?"
"Um?"
His sudden confession shocked everyone present.
what's the situation?
Shouldn't you defend yourself?
Do you admit it?
Isn't it too fast to put it in ruins?
The prince was also shocked.
She couldn't understand how Zhao Xiaole could plead guilty.
This is a capital crime!
Zhao Xiaole confessed his crime, how could he protect him?!
After the brief shock, these court officials immediately reacted.
Chen Yang immediately sneered and said: "Your Highness, since Zhao Xiaole himself has confessed his crime, I believe that with His Highness's fairness, he will be able to deal with it impartially, right?"
"That's right, His Highness hates those who do not abide by the law the most. How can he not handle them impartially?"
"Hahaha, Your Highness is indeed the virtuous king of Jingyang, and will definitely be the virtuous king of Jingyang in the future. How could he do something that violates laws and disciplines?"
"That's right, that's right..."
After a lot of praise, the prince was furious.
"These old immortals also want to kill me and put me on the fire?"
The prince felt a little angry in his heart.
Although these officials were all praising her, these words were like a knife forcing her to kill Zhao Xiaole.
Otherwise, he would not be the virtuous king and virtuous king they call him!
They will inevitably ruin their reputation among the people.
"But it's up to you to define whether I am a virtuous king or a virtuous monarch?"
The prince felt that his position as emperor was threatened, and he became very angry.
We must forcefully keep Zhao Xiaole.
I would like to take a look.
Having saved Zhao Xiaole, can you keep me out of the position of emperor?
But just when she was about to speak, Zhao Xiaole's frightened voice sounded in the hall.
"Then I would like to ask your lords, if a court official violates this law, what crime should he be punished for?"
Chen Yang suddenly sneered and said: "Of course it's death... huh?"
He just believed that it was a capital crime.
But after hearing what Zhao Xiaole said clearly, his expression changed instantly.
At this time, the prince also reacted suddenly and almost wanted to laugh out loud.
Because even if he has forgotten, Zhao Xiaole is still a court official!
Eunuch!
Perhaps when others hear it, they assume that his status is extremely humble and that he is a servant.
But in the palace, eunuchs have serious court titles!
The eunuch in front of the imperial court, that is the title of the fifth rank of the imperial court!
Compared with Lu Jianxing, who has not yet held an official position, speaking rudely to an official of the fifth rank is a serious crime!
Even if Zhao Xiaole took him away, it would be an easy task.
Even if you are severely punished, others will have nothing to say!
But doing so is indeed not in line with court regulations.
So the prince sneered and asked: "Master Chen, you are familiar with my Jingyang Law. May I ask what crime should be classified as a crime for a fifth-grade official?"
The courtiers headed by Chen Yang suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
No one thought that the problem would be caused by this.
A point that no one noticed!
Seizing someone privately is, of course, a capital offense for someone like a servant!
But for the top five people, it is neither painful nor itchy.
Don't look at the fact that officials of the fifth rank are not high-ranking officials.
Some people may never reach this height in their lifetime!
The prince is asking a question now. If you don't answer, it will be a serious crime.
Therefore, Chen Yang looked extremely ugly and said with a look of reluctance: "According to the law, those who arrest and arrest people without permission, if they are officials in the capital, should be demoted out of the capital!"
"call!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaole, who was on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, quickly stood up from the ground, patted his chest and said, "It scared me to death. I thought I had committed some crime, but it turns out it's not the death penalty?"
