Chapter 442 Choice
Who knows if you don’t give it a try!
The seventh prince of Nanzhao Kingdom felt that the blood on the soles of his feet was rushing to the sky in an instant.
However, he can't fight back!
The upbringing he received since childhood, the things he has learned since childhood, and the things he has experienced since childhood have enabled him to thrive in the political whirlpool, but he does not know how to face Caimao's attack.
Zero experience.
A group of people with various thoughts went straight to the palace. Due to the large number of people participating in the battle, the team was huge.
On the way into the palace, the seventh prince of Nanzhao learned about the entire process from Mr. Zhao.
When he learned the truth, a group of parents of students who participated in the war also came over after hearing the news.
When the Minister of Justice saw his son, his face turned green with anger. He slapped Yang Tian on the head with his upper hand, "You are crazy! What are you doing!"
He vowed to follow the prince to the death, but his son went to fight against the Nanzhao envoy!
What the hell is this!
How could he explain this to His Highness the Crown Prince!
Yang Tian endured the slap and looked back at his father, "Why can't I do it?"
The Minister of Punishment said angrily: "Why? Do you know that it is for this time?"
Yang Tian directly interrupted what Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was saying, with a serious look on his face, and said in a lowered voice: "Father, I know that you have been following His Highness the Crown Prince all these years, and I also know that the envoys from Nanzhao Kingdom and your great cause are mutually beneficial.
However, I can't just watch them bullying people in the Imperial College and remain indifferent.
I can support you in following His Highness the Crown Prince, and I can cooperate with you in fighting openly and secretly with Zhou Huaishan for your sake.
However, I am not treasonous!
The knowledge I had from elementary school, the education I received since childhood, and everything I have experienced over the years, none of them told me how to commit treason, and that I could not do it. "
The Minister of Punishment made Yang Tian's heart twitch when he said that, and he avoided his son's gaze with a guilty conscience.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to commit treason?"
Yang Tian said: "Yesterday at the palace banquet, the Nanzhao delegation openly provoked the Imperial College. This is disrespectful to the Imperial College. Regardless of the national level, I am a student of the Imperial College and will not allow anyone to criticize my school.
Therefore, what Zhou Huaishan did was also what I wanted to do. At that moment, I even regretted following your arrangement and not participating in academic exchanges. "
The Minister of Punishment quickly glanced at the prince's sedan chair, then gritted his teeth and said: "Shut up! The fight has reached the envoys, you are still justified!"
Yang Tian said: "Why don't you pay attention? I watched them bullying people in the Imperial Academy and I didn't do anything. Then I didn't pay attention. That's a coward!"
"Su Xiang is here too, why don't you see Su Xiang take action, be reckless, let someone use you as a gun, and you don't know it yourself? How did I give birth to such a fool like you, who was persuaded by Wang Jin to even give up his life?
Do you know what the consequences will be if you make a fuss today! "
Yang Tian frowned, "I don't know why Su Heng didn't take action, and I don't want to know, but I know that Su Heng did not look good on the seventh prince of Nanzhao at yesterday's palace banquet.
Dad has followed His Highness the Crown Prince for so many years, so he must not be unclear about Su Heng's temperament. If he really wanted to protect the Nanzhao Kingdom's mission, how could he remain silent in Zhou Huaishan's situation yesterday?
Can't you tell that he acquiesces? "
The Minister of Punishment was speechless by his son.
Yang Tian pursed his lower lip, "I don't know what dad thinks. Anyway, I just said one word. I will obey dad if I stand in line. However, I am not treason. I don't regret what happened today from beginning to end, and I don't regret it." It wasn’t Wang Jin who encouraged me.”
The temples of the Minister of Punishment suddenly bulged.
The vast team went straight to the palace, and in the blink of an eye everyone arrived at the imperial study.
With so many people, it was naturally impossible for everyone to enter the imperial study. The emperor did not want to favor one and the other, so he simply moved tables and chairs in the courtyard of the imperial study.
Sitting down behind the desk, the emperor glanced at the dark crowd in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the seventh prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, "What's wrong?"
The seventh prince sat on the throne and started to do something. After hearing the words, he didn't even get up. He just sat there calmly, his face was covered with clouds, as if a storm was about to come.
"In this case, Xiao Wang should ask His Majesty, what on earth did my envoy from Nanzhao do wrong, and why he was so cruelly attacked when he apologized?"
After the seventh prince of Nanzhao finished speaking, Master Zhao, who was beaten like a pig's head, stepped forward tremblingly.
“Your Majesty makes the decision for the foreign ministers!
Regarding yesterday's palace banquet, the foreign minister was scolded by His Highness the Seventh Highness when he returned to the post house. The foreign minister repented and blamed himself, and learned from the painful experience. This morning he specially prepared a generous gift and went to the Imperial College to apologize to the Imperial College.
Unexpectedly, the foreign minister somehow offended Zhou Huaishan. He directly threw the jade pendant given by the foreign minister and slapped Mr. Liu angrily. "
Mr. Liu is the first-rank official who was slapped by Zhou Huaishan.
Mr. Zhao told the story aggrievedly and angrily.
"Forget it, but just now, a few of them suddenly started fighting us for no reason. Not only did they start fighting, a group of students from the Imperial College also rushed up."
The more Mr. Zhao talked, the more aggrieved he became.
He was really wronged.
In all my life, I have never been beaten on the head like this.
From Master Zhao's perspective, listening to his words is indeed infuriating.
However, the perpetrator showed no trace of remorse or guilt on his face.
Just after Lord Zhao finished complaining, the leader of all the students in the Imperial College, the Imperial College's chief priest, stepped forward and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it's not without reason. The envoys of Nanzhao Kingdom have evil intentions. We have to defend our dignity."
"We have evil intentions? You beat us up like this, and it turns out that we have evil intentions? Lord Jijiu is really good at confusing right and wrong. I want to learn what you mean by evil intentions!"
Lord Zhao was angry at the Imperial College's chief priest.
He really didn't know how he angered the other party.
And he angered so many people at once.
"Because of that jade pendant?" The sinister voice of the seventh prince of Nanzhao Kingdom was wrapped in the anger in his heart, "Just because you think that jade pendant is an old item of Rongyang Marquis Mansion, so you do it like this?
Not to mention that the jade pendant is not an old item of Rongyang Marquis Mansion, even if it is, you can do it?"
In fact, the Imperial College Jiji himself did not know why Zhou Huaishan suddenly turned hostile.
He also did not know why the old monk of Dafo Temple suddenly went crazy.
However, he knew one thing, he believed in his students.
That was enough.
Ignoring the questioning of the Nanzhao Kingdom delegation, the Imperial College Jiji only said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise, the jade pendant is indeed an old item of Rongyang Marquis Mansion."
When the emperor heard the four words Rongyang Marquis Mansion, he no longer wanted to listen to anyone's noise, and only said in a light voice: "Show me the jade pendant."
People who are not familiar with the emperor may not be able to hear what his light voice means, but the eunuch general manager understands that the emperor is angry.
Anything related to the Rongyang Marquis's Mansion is a taboo for the emperor.
The jade pendant was taken out of the arms of the old monk in the Big Buddha Temple.
It was handed over with a handkerchief.
The old monk put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name, "Your Majesty, this jade pendant is indeed not from the Rongyang Marquis's Mansion."
