"enough!"

Chu You couldn't listen any more, and Fang Huairui was interrupted by his voice like ice.

He is a martial artist, he has his own sense of propriety, he knows whether a stab with a dagger will kill him or not, the British Duke is obviously messing around.

Fang Huairui put down his tear-wiping right arm, maintained a kneeling posture, and shouted regardless: "His Royal Highness Kang Wang is only a prince, and he wants to kill the old minister who founded the country, and kill the donkey!!"

His words are higher and louder than each word, loud and clear, and he only wished that most people in the court could hear them.

The veins on Chu You's forehead twitched, and even the veins on his neck also appeared.

"My minister and my father and grandfather are loyal to the Dajing Dynasty, and there is no credit but hard work. His Royal Highness Kang Wang's move really chills the minister!"

Rogue! These four words could not help appearing in Chu You's mind, and he walked away heavily.

He didn't go back to Dongnuan Pavilion either, he strode past Fang Huairui directly, only to hear Fang Huairui's wailing sound from behind: "I beg the emperor to make decisions for my subjects and subjects."

Chu You walked faster, with his head held high.

He didn't believe that the emperor could do anything to him? !

Fang Huairui knelt for a whole day and night, without eating or drinking, until the next morning, when he finally fainted from exhaustion.

Kang Wang stabbed the prince of England, making Fang's life and death unknown. The prince of England is just such a legitimate son, crying all the time. He would rather fight for the title, and ask the emperor to punish the murderer severely.

Those censors finally couldn't hold back after hearing the news.

They swarmed to Dongnuang Pavilion, presented the emperor with eloquent papers, impeached King Kang Chuyou for hurting people, asked the emperor to behave in an authentic way, and said: "Kang Kang made a mistake, and he should bear it. It’s not to make the world think that the emperor connives at the clan’s murder!”

The emperor looked at the excerpt and was noncommittal, but ordered the eunuch King Xuankang to have an audience.

Those families who supported King Kang exchanged glances, and decided to suppress the arrogance of these censors, so as to prevent these poor literati from poor families from being presumptuous in front of their families.

Therefore, Wang Kangyin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, retorted: "Li Yushi, King Kang has always been cautious in his words and deeds. The first emperor once praised him for his heart. There must be a reason for him to take action."

"How can you listen to the words of the British public?"

What he meant inside and outside the words was that Fang Mingfeng had misbehaved.

Going deeper, it means that if the censors still have objections, they are questioning the late emperor.

It was less than a year since the first emperor passed away, and even the emperor had to abide by the ritual system and not change his father's will for three years.

The censors were blocked by Wang Kangyin's few words for a while, and even the emperor seemed a little embarrassed, stroking his beard repeatedly.

After a while, the emperor cleared his throat with a dry cough, and said, "King Kang and the Duke of England are young at heart, young and energetic, so they quarreled and pushed a few times."

Seeing that those aristocratic families insisted on dragging Fang Mingfeng into trouble, and the emperor still wanted to be a peacemaker, the stern-faced Wei Guogong suddenly became gloomy and felt unhappy.

This is not allowed!

Duke Wei snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "In broad daylight, you dare to injure someone with a knife, how can the word 'pushing' be easily dismissed!"

As soon as Wei Guogong expressed his position, he immediately made all the nobles who had just come to join in the fun stand in awe.

After the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, Emperor Taizu granted meritorious officials, including the four princes and twenty-eight princes.

According to the law of the Great Scene, the titles of nobles will be lowered for three generations, and only the titles of the four princes will be hereditary and will never be lowered. They are superior to other nobles.

Duke Wei continued angrily: "Fang Mingfeng is the only legitimate son of the Duke of England. If there is an eventuality and the bastard is not allowed to inherit the title, wouldn't there be no one to inherit the Duke of England!!"

On weekdays, although the four men have occasional disputes and are not convinced by each other, they will support each other before the common interests.

After hearing that the British Duke had fainted, the Duke of Wei went to see him specially, wanting to comfort him, but the British Duke cried so hard that he took his hand and complained. What he said was that King Kang was close to his family and far away from Xun. Gui, don't take them seriously, dare to stab his son for no reason today, if he is really allowed to occupy that position in the future, maybe they will have to cut their titles to make room for those aristocratic families...

The more Wei Guogong thought about it, the more his lips became cold, his heart trembled, and his voice became more and more high-pitched: "Kang Kang really has ulterior motives!"

What he said made all the nobles present suddenly understand, and nodded frequently in agreement. It turned out that Kang Wang's plan was actually for this purpose, and he really had ulterior motives!

The emperor thought about his beard, and asked slowly: "What does the Duke of Wei mean?"

Wei Guogong naturally felt that King Kang should be punished, but how to punish him was also a problem.

Chu Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, asked lightly: "Sentencing varies from severity to severity. I wonder how the Duke of England is injured?"

"..." Wei Guogong was startled.

He didn't know how Fang Mingfeng was injured, he only heard the British prince crying and complaining that his son had been stabbed, bleeding profusely, and his life and death were unknown.

However, the First Prince's words reminded him that sentencing has its severity.

Duke Wei's old eyes lit up, he had a claim, and said sternly: "Taizu said that the clan violated the law, and the crime will be aggravated. Since King Kang stabbed Fang Shizi once, let Fang Shizi stab him back twice. draw."

The other nobles looked at each other, all of them were full of energy, and felt that Wei Guogong's idea was absolutely perfect.

They couldn't wait to second the proposal, and they seemed to be united as one.

The officials headed by Wang Kangyin were all dumbfounded. They suddenly felt that the situation was not good. They didn't bother to mention how the late emperor praised King Kang, and said directly:

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. If it is true according to what Duke Wei said, if the two swords are used, I fear that King Kang's safety will be unpredictable, so the sentence will be too heavy..."

The British government probably hated King Kang now, if Fang Mingfeng stabbed King Kang twice, King Kang's life might be in danger!

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a middle-aged honorable man with a rough voice: "It's just stabbed twice, and he didn't say that he was going to gouge out his flesh!"

"That's it."

"Taizu also said, 'If a person is in the rivers and lakes, there is no one who will not be stabbed'. Since you have the viciousness to stab someone, you must have the awareness of being stabbed!"

"..."

Honorable men, you speak and I speak, one voice is louder than the other, looking like a rascal.

The Dajing Dynasty had just been established for fifty years, and most of these honorable titles had only been handed down for two or three generations. They were often ridiculed secretly by those aristocratic families on weekdays, saying that the mud on their legs hadn't been washed clean.

However, when these people stand on the front line, their power is astonishing. Anyone who says a good word to Kang Wang will be scolded bloody by them.

Neither could convince the other, sparks were flying in the air.

During the noise, Chu Yi sighed softly: "Two knives are too heavy, and it's not good to use blood for blood."

His clear and peaceful voice poured down like a clear spring.

The courtiers of the aristocratic family felt as if they had found a treasure when they heard the words, and they echoed with joy: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is right."

Chu Yi gracefully put down the blue-and-white porcelain teacup in his hand, looked at Wei Guogong and the others, and said, "But Uncle Seventh Emperor's crime of wounding is convincing. If we don't pursue it, it will also violate the legacy of the great ancestor."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" The nobles responded repeatedly.

The knuckles of Chu Yi's right hand lightly tapped twice on the coffee table, his warm eyes turned to the emperor above, and he said softly, "Then let's be demoted."

After the words were finished, there was silence in the East Nuan Pavilion.

Before the others could react, the emperor raised his hand and slapped the table, singing and accommodating: "Okay. Let's demote to be the king of the county."

Wei Guogong was startled at first, then thought again: Yes, stabbing twice will only hurt for a while. I am afraid that Kang Wang will forget the pain after his scar heals, so how can he enjoy being a prince.

wonderful! Well done!

It also prevents Mr. Kang from making plans for their titles and making him feel very painful first.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Guogong took the lead in shouting, with a happy smile on his face.

The Duke of Wei agreed, and the other nobles were not dissatisfied. They all shouted "The Emperor is wise", their voices were as loud as thunder.

Some people were happy, while others looked stiffly, looking at the door curtain embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons behind.

Kang Wang Chuyou, who was summoned by the emperor, stood in front of the curtain at some point, his face sinking like water, and he exuded a cold and stern aura.

Before King Kang could open his mouth, Kang Yin, Minister of the Household Department, responded first: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Kangyin is not stupid, and it can be seen that the emperor intends to lower the title of King Kang this time.

Today, these nobles are here to disrupt the situation. If the prince should not be lowered and choose one of the two, the emperor will probably push the boat along and let the British Duke stab King Kang twice.

The current situation is only to be blamed for Kang Wang being too impulsive and insisting on offending Xungui.

Wang Kangyin pinched his cuffs lightly, and nodded to Chu You imperceptibly, signaling him to bow his head to the emperor.

"Seventh Emperor Brother," the emperor looked through the crowd and looked at Chu You who was behind, and asked calmly, "Do you have any objection to my decision?"

"..." Chu You's ears were buzzing, and the long and narrow eyes were filled with overwhelming anger.

At this moment, he wanted to leave in anger, but there was still a trace of reason telling him that he could not leave.

If he just flung his sleeves away today, he would offend all the nobles.

And now he can't afford to offend him!

Chu You tightly clenched his fists, his long and tall figure was straightened like a spear, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart.

His mood was extremely complicated, a strong fishy sweet smell filled his mouth, and he felt as if there was an invisible pusher pushing him to this dilemma step by step!

He said to himself, there were Goujian and Han Xin in ancient times, those who achieved great things, even if they endured the humiliation for a while, so what!

Even Emperor Taizu was belittled when he was young, and he uttered the bold words "Don't bully the young and poor".

...

For a long while, Chu You didn't move, just stood there motionless.

Silence spread, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

I don't know how long it took before he said in a difficult word: "Your brother accepts the decree."

He lowered his head, covered the deep anger in his eyes, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

With the fall of these four words, everything was settled.

Chu You stepped out of the East Nuan Pavilion with a dark face, exuding an aura that strangers should not enter, with a puff of breath in his chest, he continued to walk in the direction outside the palace with big strides.

The weather in the capital today is gloomy, the wind is strong and whining.

After leaving the palace, Chu You directly rode back to Prince Kang's Mansion, and galloped wildly in the racecourse, running lap after lap against the cold wind...

He galloped the horse for three or four laps, and a servant ran over panting with all his strength, shouting:

"Your Highness, the emperor has sent someone to issue an imperial edict."

"They, they want to tear down the gate of the palace!"
