Chapter 342 Criticism

Silence nodded slightly, and he said slowly:

"The fourth prince Daxuan's background is not very good. His mother's family background is not prominent. After giving birth to the fourth prince, the mother was given the title of Concubine Zhao because of the nobleness of her son."

"The fourth prince is brave and good at fighting, and has a cheerful personality, but he lacks strategy."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Does the fourth prince have any supporters in the capital?"

He shook his head silently, "The fourth prince has made some achievements in the army, but he has no foundation in the court."

Ning Chen frowned slightly and immediately asked:

"How much do you know about the Shangshu Order of Shangshu Province?"

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "This man is a strange person."

Ning Chen was curious, "How do you say it?"

"The minister has a high position, but he has no sense of presence in the court. On the surface, he is overshadowed by the left and right ministers, but in fact he is an old fox."

"He knows how to hide his capabilities and bide his time, waiting for the opportunity to act... He usually keeps quiet, but every task assigned to him by Emperor Daxuan is handled beautifully."

"Even the master has commented that this person is a ruthless character."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "A biting dog doesn't bark. Are you saying he is a biting dog?"

Nod silently.

"If the Marquis wants to know more about him, you can take the time to visit the escort agency."

Ning Chen hummed, and then asked: "Who is he close to in the court?"

Shen Mo shook his head, "He doesn't get close to anyone. He protects himself wisely and moves steadily."

Ning Chen was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, "I got it!"

"The villain takes his leave!"

Ning Chen hummed.

...

The next day, in the court hall.

Sure enough, some people started to criticize Ning Chen.

However, it was the group of trolls who jumped out.

The right minister and others remained silent.

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen poisoned his father to death for the sake of glory and wealth. He is really unconscionable. Please punish him severely."

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen has vicious methods and bad conduct. How can such a person be worthy of marrying the Ninth Princess? Your Majesty, please take back your order and find a good son-in-law for the princess."

"Your Majesty, filial piety is the first of all good deeds, and sexual immorality is the first of all. Ning Chen poisoned his own father and lost his conscience. This is unfilial. He indulges in Jiaofangsi all day long, is lustful and promiscuous, and has extremely bad conduct. He is not worthy of becoming Xiaoyao Hou."

"Your Majesty, the public resentment is boiling and the public is furious. If Ning Chen is not punished severely, I am afraid it will affect the royal family's reputation."

"Ning Chen poisoned his own father to death for the sake of glory and wealth, which is contrary to human ethics... Such an evil thief must not marry the Ninth Princess to him."

Emperor Xuan looked coldly at Yan Guan who was jumping up and down, anger growing in his heart.

He knew very well that these pedantic officials were being taken advantage of.

He's waiting for someone else to jump out.

Otherwise, these officials would have been dragged down and punished for thirty years.

But after waiting for a long time, except for Yan Guan who was jumping up and down, no one else stood up to criticize Ning Chen.

Emperor Xuan knew that Ning Chen wanted to seize the mastermind from the court, but now it seemed that this method would not work, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Emperor Xuan said expressionlessly: "My dear friends, you have said that Ning Chen is so bad, what evidence is there?"

The officials looked at each other in confusion.

A spokesman stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has been spread among the people. I'm afraid it has aroused public resentment."

Emperor Xuan stared at him with cold eyes, "The common people spread rumors and blindly follow their beliefs... My beloved ministers have read poems and books and are enlightened. Don't you know that evidence is needed in everything?"

"Based on just a few rumors, you are jumping up and down here to criticize the current prince, ignoring the truth, ignoring his achievements in the Northern Expedition and regaining the border."

"You all have Ning Chen, and you can call them by their names? Have your books been read into the stomachs of dogs? Don't you understand the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors?"

"A bunch of bastards, pedantic and incompetent, talkative women who can only talk quickly... The imperial court raises you to clarify the law and speak out for the people... instead of letting you mess around here and make malicious criticisms."

All officials, civil and military, have different expressions.

Your Majesty's scolding was too filthy.

This also shows that His Majesty is very angry.

Yan Guan was very unconvinced. Ning Chen is now famous all over the world and is in the limelight... If he can defeat Ning Chen, he will definitely become famous. Maybe he will be remembered as a loyal minister in the history books and will be famous forever.

"Your Majesty, there is no smoke without fire."

"Your Majesty, our duty is to clarify the law and bring order to chaos. We cannot keep silent just because Lord Ning has a noble status. If this is the case, then what is the use of Daxuan Laws and Regulations?"

"Your Majesty, it is a fact that Marquis Ning poisoned his own father. If I don't speak out at such a time when my conscience is so unconscionable, I would be unworthy of my divine grace... Even if Your Majesty kills me today, I will still speak out."

"That's right, merit and demerit cannot be offset. Although Lord Ning has made great achievements in battle, His Majesty has already rewarded him and has not treated him badly... and killing his own father with poison is a fact. He Ning Chen is crazy, unfaithful and unfilial. "

Emperor Xuan clenched his fists with anger.

"Your Majesty cannot protect Ning Chen just because he likes or favors Ning Chen."

"Your Majesty, even if I am executed today, I will still say... Ning Chen is not worthy of being a marquis or a consort."

"If Your Majesty is bent on protecting Ning Chen, I would rather die in this Jinluan Palace."

Emperor Xuan's face turned dark with anger.

This group of public officials swarmed up like flies that smelled a bad smell.

The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became.

At first, they just criticized Ning Chen, but later they even brought Emperor Xuan with them... He said that Emperor Xuan was a traitor to traitors and loyal ministers far away. If this continues, Da Xuan will die sooner or later.

In the end, Emperor Xuan was described as a foolish emperor who did not understand the truth, did not change the truth, and acted wantonly.

Emperor Xuan's head was buzzing with anger!

"Shut up, everyone!"

The court suddenly became quiet.

Emperor Xuan let out a sullen breath, gritted his molars and said, "Don't you want the truth? I will give you the truth."

After saying that, he glanced at Father-in-law Quan.

Eunuch Quan leaned over and said, "Yes!"

Immediately, a high-pitched voice sounded: "The Holy Grace is so great. Your Majesty, Marquis Ning, has made great achievements in battle, and now he is about to marry the Ninth Princess... Therefore, I will give him poisonous wine and leave Ning to reveal his body."

"Our family was ordered to carry out the execution, and we watched with our own eyes as Ning Ziming drank poisonous wine and died."

"Ning Hou has always put loyalty and filial piety first. When he arrived, Ning Ziming was dead... Our family doesn't understand, how could there be such an outrageous rumor that Ning Hou poisoned his biological father?"

All the officials were dumbfounded.

All the civil and military officials had different expressions and remained silent.

Regardless of whether what Quan Gonggong said is true or false, this trick is indeed clever.

His Majesty has taken all the responsibility on himself, does anyone dare to question His Majesty?

One of the officials couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty has already issued an order, and I will ask you to kill him three days later...I have never heard of the order to give poisonous wine."

All the civil and military officials looked sideways and showed sympathy.

Is this guy out of his mind, or is he stubborn... How dare he jump out and question His Majesty at this time?

Good guy, are you rushing to hit the tip of the knife, are you afraid that you won't die?

Emperor Xuan looked at Eunuch Quan and asked calmly: "Can I make a decree to kill him in three days?"

Eunuch Quan leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has never issued such a decree."

Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on the Yan Guan, "When did Aiqing see my order to be executed in three days?"

"This, this..." Yan Guan hesitated and said, "I just heard about it."

Emperor Xuan's face suddenly darkened, "Ai Qing is just a editor. She doesn't do her job well, but she stares at me every day... What do you want?"

One sentence frightened the official so much that he almost lost his consciousness. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, please have mercy. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

It was a grave sin to spy on the emperor's every move.
