Chapter 360 Ignorance
After hearing what Eunuch Li said, Sun Xiong's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Dong Xiaocheng angrily, but the latter looked at him without fear.
Sun Xiong said angrily: "You are so brave. Do you still take me seriously? When can you make the decision for me?"
Dong Xiaocheng's eyes did not evade, and he said righteously: "Because I think what your Majesty did was wrong. I think your Majesty will be able to wake up in the face of truth and take back his fate."
Eunuch Li almost stopped laughing after hearing what he said. He really didn't expect that he would actually turn this old guy into his opponent. He must have been stupid in studying!
Sun Xiong slapped the table with his hand and said, "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? What does it mean to suddenly wake up? I can't be wrong."
Dong Xiaocheng held his head high and said: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. Even I, a Confucian saint, have to bow down and reflect on myself. There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty admitting his mistakes!"
At this time, Sun Xiuli said from the side: "Master Dong, please respect yourself when you speak. I don't know how you Confucian saints are? But since my father is today, he can't be wrong, and he can't be wrong."
Dong Xiaocheng frowned and said: "Why can't your Majesty be wrong? As a woman, you continue to interfere in the government affairs. It is simply a joke in the world."
Sun Xiuli directly retorted: "Because my father is the emperor of the Star Empire, he cannot make mistakes. Even if he makes mistakes, it is the fault of you ministers.
If it weren't for rotten people like you, occupying the positions of corpses, how could our Starry Empire become the weakest of the three empires?
Even though you people are worthy of being called great Confucians, at best you are just selfish little Confucians. Apart from yourselves, who among you has the world in mind? "
Dong Xiaocheng was so angry that his face was thick and his neck was red. He pointed at Sun Xiuli and said: "You are just a short-sighted female class. What qualifications do you have to talk about here? You killed the minister privately and completely ignored the etiquette and law."
Sun Xiuli continued: "I don't agree with what you said. The reason why I killed Jin Naitian was because he spoke arrogant words, and they framed virtuous people at will. What's the use of keeping such a person.
Mr. Dong, did you ever know that the person I went to Tianlao to ask for today was a subordinate of Zhao Yiming, the prince of the Luoyue Empire with a different surname? Are you doing this to provoke a dispute between the two countries? This puts the people of the world at risk. "
Dong Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment, but then he said: "So who is Zhao Yiming? He is just a clown. He is not a good person himself, and his subordinates will naturally not be wronged."
Sun Xiong slammed the table and yelled: "What are you talking about, an old man? No matter what, he is also the prince of the Luoyue Empire, how can it be up to you to judge.
I have tolerated you for a long time. Do you really think that I dare not kill you? I don’t think your State Education Academy can teach any good people. Eunuch Li, please tell me that the State Education Academy will be abolished from now on and turned into an ordinary academy.
I just asked you to raid Jin Naitian's house, but if you still don't go, I have indeed changed my mind this time. Not only do I want to kill his nine clans, but also his teacher's clan. "
Just as Dong Xiaocheng was about to speak, Sun Xiong grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it directly over. He said, "I will remove you from all positions now and give you a deadline to leave the capital within three days. Otherwise, I will destroy your whole family and return it to you." Get out of here if you don’t want to.”
Dong Xiaocheng pointed at Sun Xiuli and said, "Then I will wait and see how our Starry Empire will be defeated by this woman in the future."
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and strode away. Sun Xiuli and Eunuch Li looked at each other with proud smiles on their faces.
A glint flashed in Sun Xiong's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Since Prince Zhao is here, I have to meet him. Li'er, go and make arrangements for me."
Sun Xiuli nodded quickly and said: "I will make arrangements for my father as soon as possible. I don't know whether my father wants to see him in the palace or at my house."
Sun Xiong hesitated and said, "Since he didn't issue a formal official document, let's arrange it in your house!"
After Sun Xiuli exited, Sun Xiong suddenly turned to a corner and said, "Now I want to clear the way for my daughter. This Dong Xiaocheng must die."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked towards Huaqing Pool again, where there were several concubines waiting for his favor.
Sun Xiuli came outside with a smile on her face. She had succeeded again this time, and she had thoroughly tested her father's heart. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she became the leader.
When Dong Xiaocheng returned to his house, he looked completely different from before. He called his grandson Dong Hui and sighed: "I believe you have heard about me. Your Majesty will never let me live like this." In three days, you can go to the Empire of the Rising Sun to join your cousin Dong Lianhan."
Dong Hui hesitated and said: "My grandson has something unclear. Since grandpa knew that there would be such an ending, why did he want to confront the emperor again today?"
Dong Xiaocheng stood up, walked to the window and said, "I just want to give His Majesty an excuse to kill me. I have been feeling uneasy all these years.
I have never had a peaceful sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see Changling, where countless innocent souls are asking for their lives.
The defeat at Changling that year was entirely my fault. If I hadn't trusted that old man Ye Jingsheng, which resulted in our estrangement from the Demon Sect, how could there have been that big defeat that year.
I have lived an ignoble existence for so many years, just hoping to hand over a qualified emperor, restore the glory of our Starry Empire, and make up for my mistakes back then.
It's a pity that I not only failed that year, but also failed in educating people. Each of the three princes was not as good as the other. On the contrary, the eldest princess has the talent of an emperor.
And the reason why I have always been against the eldest princess is because I know that I am a thorn in the emperor's heart. The more I oppose something, the more he will value it.
Now that the eldest princess has achieved success, I have become a roadblock for her. Therefore, if I don't die, it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne. This is why His Majesty fell out with me today.
However, Your Majesty still has a sense of friendship and will not attack you, so I asked you to join your cousin. I hope that during your lifetime, you can kill Ye Jingsheng for me and avenge that grievance. "
Dong Hui knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then left without saying a word. He took nothing with him except his clothes, so he traveled lightly.
Dong Xiaocheng sat there quietly, and suddenly said to a corner: "I know you are already here, let's do it!"
