Chapter 1616 Extra Story: Dragon and Phoenix Knot (5)
The second prince, Feng Yi, is a daughter.
The news spread all over the city in an instant.
The government and the public were shaken, and the people were in an uproar.
King Fengyue convened an emergency court meeting, and hundreds of officials attended the meeting. The sound of arguments almost toppled the roof of the Jinluan Palace.
"Your Majesty! This matter must not be tolerated! Defrauding the Emperor as a daughter for more than 20 years is a crime of deceiving the emperor! As the saying goes, the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. It will damage Fengyue's body!"
"The second prince and Wang Shang are compatriots of the same mother. They have been very affectionate since they were young. Moreover, the contributions made by the second prince to Fengyue over the years are also seen by the ministers. The second prince has contributed a lot to Fengyue's success today. But the king Your Majesty, one matter is one matter, rewards must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished, so that you can convince the public! Your Majesty, please decide!"
"Your Majesty, please decide! The law is not merciful, Your Majesty! Today the second prince can take the prince's position as a daughter. If the matter is not exposed, who can guarantee that she will not act recklessly in the future and try to pretend to be a man with her daughter instead?" Your Majesty! This wind must not last long!"
The entire hall was filled with voices of disposing of the second prince.
King Fengyue sat on the dragon chair with a blank expression on his face, and clasped his hands tightly on the armrests, barely suppressing the gushing anger, and stared deeply at the courtiers who were shouting loudly below, "It's wrong for my daughter to pretend to be a man, but everyone Did Aiqing forget how much Feng Yi has paid for Fengyue these years? If he hadn't built a bridge to ask for help, I, Fengyue, would not have received help from Nanling at all. The current Fengyue is already in ruins! One mistake, I will be wiped out All the credit for her?"
"But this mistake is different. This is deceiving the king! Unless the king knows that the second prince is a daughter, but if this is the case, the king will also commit a big crime in the world and fool the people of the world. Why? For you!"
"Presumptuous!" Feng Ling slapped the armrest angrily and shouted, the hall was dead silent.
Shocked by the emperor's prestige, all the officials lowered their heads, but their straight necks also showed that they were not convinced.
There are some things that the officials didn't say outright, not because they really didn't know, nor because they ignored it, but because they saved face for the king.
Wang Shang and Feng Yi are siblings who grew up together, how could they really not know the identity of Feng Yi's daughter?
And the reason why Feng Yi disguised herself as a man was also to fight for power for the king and prevent the imperial power from falling into the hands of other princes.
Otherwise, it is not certain who will be on the throne in the end.
This mistake was committed by Feng Yi and Wang Shang together, the officials just reserved two points, and didn't tell the truth, lest they would tear their faces and hurt both sides.
They could tolerate the king continuing to sit in that position, and the monarch and his subjects would still enjoy themselves together in the future, but they absolutely could not tolerate the matter of Feng Yi.
If this matter is exposed, Fengyue will really become a joke in the world.
In the back hall of the Jinluan Hall, Feng Yi stood at the entrance leading to the Jinluan Hall, not moving for a long time.
She could hear the arguments inside clearly.
The ministers deliberately did not drag the emperor into the water, and reserved room for it. If Brother Huang doesn't want to tear himself apart with the officials and end up being punished by the entire government, then he must deal with her.
They are using this bargaining chip to blackmail the emperor brother.
So the royal family and the imperial court are always right and wrong.
There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends here, but when it comes to interests, interests always come first.
Even if her merits outweigh her demerits, the people whose interests she offends will not be able to resist, and they will regard her as a thorn in their side, and get rid of them quickly.
Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, and Feng Yi stepped out of the apse.
"Feng Yi accepts the punishment." She said.
