Duke Zhongguo lost his patience and waved his hand to the guards: "It's time to make compensation and it's time to take custody. Don't delay."
It was getting very late, and he had to go back to stay with his concubine.
Jing Zhaoyin stood aside silently, watching this scene silently. Prince Li stepped forward and said: "Jing Zhaoyin, the princess is young, energetic and has a noble status. We cannot afford to offend her. Anyone who makes trouble should be arrested.
"
Prince Li accompanied Princess Yu'an all the way to the capital, and developed feelings along the way. In his eyes,
Princess Yu'an is true-hearted and innocent. If Chu Yunning hadn't deliberately annoyed the princess, the princess wouldn't have punished people easily.
Especially since the Duke of Zhongguo has handed over a message that he will marry the princess, and an imperial edict will be issued soon. It is his duty to protect his future wife.
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Chu Yunning. Although he had been in office for a short time, he was still here after all. One look at Chu Yunning's aura and he knew that she had a different identity. Just in case, Jing Zhaoyin kept a cautious eye on everything.
Prudent: "Your Majesty, it's true that the princess hurt someone by riding a horse. With so many eyes staring at her, I really can't show favoritism."
"What are you talking about? Arrest me!" Duke Zhongguo really lost his patience. He glanced at Jing Zhaoyin with disdain, and then said to Chu Yunning: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a fine drink, so don't blame me for being merciless.
"
A few guards were about to step forward when Chu Yunning curled up into a sneer and raised the token high: "Kneel down quickly when you see this thing!"
Yulin Order?
Duke Zhongguo rubbed his eyes and looked at Chu Yunning in disbelief: "Who are you, and why is this token with you?"
"Mr. Zhongguo, why don't you kneel down quickly!" Chu Yunning said coldly.
Perhaps frightened by Chu Yunning's momentum, Duke Zhongguo's legs subconsciously weakened, but Prince Li grabbed Duke Zhongguo.
"Father, I have been walking in front of the emperor for many years and have never seen this person before. This token must be fake."
If Duke Zhongguo knelt down in front of everyone, what kind of face would he have left?
Therefore, it cannot be recognized.
Chu Yunning looked at Crown Prince Li. He was handsome but a bit inept and even a bit stupid. Pretending to take the token was a capital offense unless she became impatient.
"Stop acting in front of us. Officials protect each other!" The envoy couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly: "If you can't solve it, then we will do it ourselves. In short, our princess must regain her face!"
The envoy said to Duke Zhongguo impatiently: "We now doubt whether the princess will be wronged after marrying into Duke Zhongguo's palace."
"Don't be like this." Prince Li became anxious and turned to Princess Yu'an to reassure her, almost kneeling down and kowtow.
Chu Yunning took a deep breath, she really didn't like such a weak man. There are many good girls in the world, and it doesn't have to be Princess Yu'an.
"Would Jing Zhaoyin doubt whether the token was real or fake?" Chu Yunning glanced at Jing Zhaoyin. This man had a bright mind and was not completely biased towards Yunlan Kingdom.
Jing Zhaoyin cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."
"There is a riot in Kyoto. What should we do according to the law?" Chu Yunning asked.
"According to law, he should be arrested and imprisoned."
After saying this, Princess Yu'an laughed loudly: "You dare to imprison me. I think you are too brave."
"Come here, capture Princess Yu'an!" Chu Yunning gave the order, and countless imperial guards emerged from behind.
Just now she was stalling for time, waiting for the Imperial Guards to come, and now she didn't need Jing Zhaoyin's help at all.
The Royal Forest Army rushed forward and quickly pinned down the troublemakers. Most of them were guards brought by the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, and some were guards around the envoys of the Yunlan Kingdom. Some stood up to resist, and were pushed to the ground and beaten by the Imperial Forest Army.
A meal.
"You..." Jing Zhaoyin was stunned. Who is this person? He actually summoned the Royal Forest Army so easily.
"You rebelled, rebelled!" Duke Zhongguo was almost detained. He stood on the spot and yelled angrily. Chu Yunning gave a look and pressed the cold-glow knife to Duke Zhongguo's neck, which frightened Duke Zhongguo into silence.
.
"This is at the foot of the Imperial City. No one is allowed to act recklessly. Also, you guys had better apologize to the people!"
The situation reversed and Chu Yunning gained the upper hand. Jing Zhaoyin kowtowed to Chu Yunning without saying a word: "This is a lowly official who has neglected his duty. Please show me your noble hand."
"Give you a chance to atone for your sins. Let these people organize the vendors into order and apologize. Then let's forget about it."
Before she finished speaking, Princess Yu'an sneered: "In your dreams, I will never apologize to these untouchables. What can you do to me?"
Seeing this, Chu Yunning took a long stick from the guard and hit Jing Zhaoyin on the shoulder without saying a word.
A scream.
"This stick is to punish you for being an official to your parents, but for being unworthy of the people."
Jing Zhaoyin was beaten inexplicably, and he didn't even dare to say a word. He lay on the ground and begged for mercy: "I know that I was wrong, and I beg you to spare my life!"
Chu Yunning saw that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, so he let go after hitting him with a stick three times, and quickly walked to Duke Zhongguo.
Duke Zhongguo suddenly shouted: "You... you are crazy. I am the Duke of Guo. Even if the emperor sees me, he will give up three points."
Without saying a word, Chu Yunning hit Duke Zhongguo on the leg hard, and screams suddenly filled the air.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Chu Yunning's hand was very strong, hitting Duke Zhongguo's legs again and again, making it impossible for him to avoid it.
Li Shizi on the side swallowed his throat. He was so frightened by Chu Yunning's momentum that he did not dare to step forward. Instead, he took two steps back. Seeing this, Princess Yu'an glared at Li Shizi angrily, very displeased: "
Coward!"
"Princess, this is a lunatic." Prince Li explained awkwardly.
When Emperor Mingwen, who was hiding in the crowd, saw this, the corner of his mouth curved up. Eunuch Mo looked at it and clicked his tongue, whispering: "Your Majesty, Chu Shang Palace is too violent."
It's hard to tell that such a small figure can have such explosive power, it's simply amazing.
Emperor Mingwen smiled: "There are still many things you don't know."
Chu Yunning put a foot on Duke Zhongguo's shoulder and pressed down hard. Duke Zhongguo couldn't bear the force and fell directly to the ground, feeling ashamed.
"Mr. Zhongguo, if you continue to refuse to speak Chrysostom, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow morning!"
"How dare you!" Duke Zhongguo shouted angrily.
Chu Yunning hit Duke Zhong with another stick, feeling very relieved. Back then, Duke Zhong had often ridiculed him in public.
"Ouch!" Duke Zhongguo screamed.
The stick continued to move upward, and Duke Zhong was frightened: "Who are you? I am the Duke, how dare you..."
Chu Yunning got tired of hearing this and said with a smile: "Since I dare to take action, am I still worried that you will file a lawsuit?"
This was what the emperor encouraged her to do, and she just felt relieved.
More than a dozen sticks fell on Duke Zhongguo one after another, and the guards who were suppressed were about to move. Upon seeing this, Chu Yunning said: "Anyone who resists will be punished on the spot!"
Once these words were spoken, no one dared to move.
"It's really boring. I won't play with you anymore." Princess Yu'an saw something was wrong, turned around and got on the horse, and was about to leave.
Chu Yunning gave a look, and the guard behind him aimed at the horse's back. With a whoosh, the arrow flew out and hit the horse's back accurately.
"Ah!" The horse was in pain and struggled to resist. Princess Yu'an was jolted on the horse, and her face turned pale with fright.
Seeing this, the envoy stood up on tiptoes to save the man, and the two rolled together in public. Princess Yu'an was probably frightened, and she rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Princess!" the envoy shouted.
Princess Yu'an showed no reaction.
The envoy anxiously led Princess Yu'an out, but the imperial guards stopped her. The envoy turned back and glared at Chu Yunning: "Are you crazy? Didn't you see the damage to the princess's body?"
"If you don't apologize today, even if you die, you won't be able to leave here!" Chu Yun Ning risked her life. She couldn't stand people who were arrogant and domineering and took human life seriously. Besides, she had already seen that Princess Yu'an was faking it.
"You!" The envoy gritted his teeth, showing how weak they were in front of the many imperial guards.
Chu Yunning poked the Duke of Guo on the shoulder with a stick: "I also share the apology with the Duke of Guo."
"Who are you anyway?"
"Chu Shanggong, why are you so angry?" The prime minister named Chu Yunning's identity in one sentence as he returned.
He originally wanted to avoid it, but seeing that the situation was developing beyond his expectations, he turned back.
Chu Yunning narrowed his eyes, as if this man was afraid that he didn't have enough enemies.
"Chu Shanggong?" Duke Zhongguo raised his voice: "Is it the Chu Shanggong who reconciled with King Xiao?"
The Prime Minister of the Palace nodded and looked like you didn't know. Duke Zhongguo clenched his fists tightly: "Your father, Chu Jianjun, doesn't dare to be so presumptuous to me. Chu Shang Palace, you are so brave!"
"The Prime Minister has come just in time. You are the head of the hundred officials. Today, Lord Jing Zhaoyin and Duke Zhong allowed Princess Yunlan to harm innocent people. I took action when I saw injustice. Do you think I did the right thing?"
Chu Yunning immediately pulled the Prime Minister off his horse. When the time comes, she will also drag the Prime Minister up with him.
The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows: "This matter cannot be generalized. The princess has come all the way to be a guest. Although the princess has made mistakes, it is not your turn to teach her a lesson. What you have hurt now is not only the princess's face, but also the face of Yunlan Country."
.”
"The Yunlan Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses. Once the war starts, more innocent people will be involved. Jing Zhaoyin and the Duke of Guo are discussing compensation. What's wrong? Chu Shang Palace, many things must be considered from the overall situation."
"The Prime Minister is right. We just consider the strong national power of Yunlan Kingdom and in order to protect more people from the war, it is nothing if we suffer a little grievance." Duke Zhongguo followed the words of the Prime Minister and continued: "
Chu Shanggong did not distinguish between right and wrong. For his own selfish desires, he ignored the people and beat them in public.
Official, this is a serious crime."
Gong Cheng stared at Chu Yunning with a similar smile but not a smile: "The Royal Forest Army does not use it randomly like this. If the emperor knows about it, do you know what the crime is?"
"Then according to the Prime Minister's wishes, I should just sit back and let the people from Yunlan Kingdom slap us in the face and bully our people at will?" Chu Yunning didn't panic at all, and added: "I now doubt Yunlan
Isn’t the purpose of sending the princess here impure? The princess came to Beijing to ride horses and hurt people in the busy city, just to provoke a war?"
"You are talking nonsense!" the envoy yelled.
"Then since it's not the case, will the emperor of the Yunlan Kingdom easily start a war with us over a mere princess?" Chu Yunning thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Moreover, the Yunlan Kingdom can start a war so easily, ignoring the people of the two countries.
, which means that no matter what we do, it will not help. If this is the case, why should we be looked down upon by others."
This is not the first time that Prime Minister Gong has faced Chu Yunning. He knows that she is eloquent and is no match for ordinary people.
"How does Chu Shanggong know that you did not start the war by yourself?" the Prime Minister asked casually.
"Yes, if you continue to persist in your obsession, you are provoking a war!" Zhongguo Gong said.
Chu Yunning smiled coldly: "The princess makes mistakes one after another and doesn't take us seriously at all. If she becomes more unruly in the future, do we have to be tolerant?"
"Chu Shanggong, let's discuss the matter now." The Prime Minister interrupted Chu Yunning.
"The princess didn't understand the rules of the capital when she first arrived. After staying in the capital for a long time, she will naturally understand that Chu Shang Palace should be more tolerant."
"Tolerance?" Chu Yunning suddenly pointed to the injured people not far away and raised her voice: "Aren't these people innocent? Why doesn't the princess know how to be tolerant when she is so cruel? Do these people deserve to die? Even the people in front of them are
If you can’t protect them, how can you protect other people?”
What he said made the people's blood boil. Chu Yunning added: "Princess Yu'an can't learn to respect me. Today, I not only have to apologize, but the events in the past two days will be quickly presented to the Emperor of Yunlan Kingdom. I want to see Yunlan."
Will the country teach others?"
Princess Yu'an in the envoy's arms clenched her fists tightly and woke up leisurely, looking at Chu Yunning angrily: "You are deliberately provoking!"
"So what, there are thousands of good men in our country who would rather die than surrender. If a fight really breaks out, it may not be the Yunlan Kingdom that takes advantage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some people in the crowd raised their hands: "If there is a war, I am willing to join the army."
"I do too!"
Someone takes the lead, and soon countless others follow suit.
"Prime Minister, if you can't protect even one common person, why don't you try to protect more common people? How long will it take to endure it again and again?"
Chu Yunning was so angry that the Prime Minister was speechless. In front of so many people, how could the Prime Minister dare to say that these people were not important?
Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it. The Prime Minister understands this fact. Those who are officials are most afraid of losing people's hearts.
It was obvious that Chu Yunning's every move today had won the hearts of the people. Chu Yunning raised his stick and hit Duke Zhongguo hard on the shoulder: "Apologise!"
Duke Zhongguo gritted his teeth and became honest after being hit with a few sticks: "I can't help you."
"Louder!"
Duke Zhongguo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I can't help you. I shouldn't have allowed Princess Yunlan to hurt people with her horse."
Princess Yu'an's face turned livid when she heard this, and she looked at Prince Li. Prince Li lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.
Chu Yunning looked at Princess Yu'an: "If you don't apologize today, princess, don't even think about leaving, and no one can save you!"
