Houfu Key Class

The night passed very anxiously.

The rumors in the capital have indeed spread, and it is too late to stop them at this time, otherwise it will be like covering up the scandal and making the scandal even more solid.

The emperor issued an order overnight: order the prince to stop executing Zhai Li.

It was impossible to kill, and it was absolutely impossible to let him go. The prince was so worried that he couldn't sleep, and he spent the whole night thinking about what to make. It was rare for the little boy to stay silent and accompany him quietly.

The sky broke out, and the first ray of sunlight shone in. The guards hurried in and reported: People came in large numbers and surrounded the Yamen, asking the court to give an explanation.

"Your Highness, the people are making trouble and may harm you. Can we mobilize the city guards?"

The prince raised his eyes, his sickly face became paler, and he said softly: "Take Jincheng and leave through the back door."

The little devil quickly stood up, grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "Your Highness, I won't leave."

The prince opened his little hand and said seriously: "Obey, if you don't go back all night, your mother will definitely be worried about you. It's okay. I'll ask you to come over to play in a few days."

The little devil held on to him and refused to let go: "No, I won't leave. You lied to me. If something happens to you, you will definitely not be able to call me again."

The prince did not reply to him, but said to the guard: "Take him away."

"yes."

"Your Highness! I won't leave! Don't pull me, I won't leave!" The little devil was still yelling, but his struggle was obviously of no use, and the guards carried him and left through the back door.

The Crown Princess was waiting outside. When the Crown Prince came out, she came over to greet him and asked, "Your Highness, have you made your decision?"

The prince remained silent.

He's done it.

His remarks were spread to ten, and to a hundred, at an outrageous speed. If he continued to hesitate like this, not only would he not be able to do anything to Zhai Li, but he would also make the situation worse and worse.

Can you say that you have surrendered to Zhai Li? Neither.

Just like what he taught Jin Cheng, the future is long and there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future. Only by protecting himself first can he protect others.

The prince clenched his fists and walked out with a heavy heart. The people outside the Yamen were noisy, shouting for an explanation from the court, asking if what happened on the ground was true and if all the beasts involved were the same. A senior official in the government.

"Come out, come out. Why don't you dare to admit it when the court officials dare to do such a thing? If you dare to trample on the girls in the slums now, you will dare to target the children of us ordinary families in the future. What have we done wrong? , do I deserve to be bullied by you if I have no money or power?”

"If all the students in the world study hard for many years and end up being such beastly officials who feed the common people, then what is the point of studying, what is the point of being an official, and what is the point of the existence of academies and courts?"

"The dog officials, the dog court, treat ordinary people like rotten leaves, which can be trampled to pieces with just a kick. We just want to live a normal life, why is it so difficult?"

"Dog Officer! Come out! Come out and speak!"

…

The officials in the yamen were scolded bloody, but the prince did not give the order, and no one dared to act rashly. Everyone's face was filled with indignation. This attitude angered the people even more.

The prince came out amidst the noise. He was dressed in beige-gold auspicious clothes, with a leather double-tasseled jade belt hanging around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. His face was fair and sickly, and his eyes were as calm as ink.

The common people had never seen the prince before, so they thought he was a noble man from some family, until all the guards and officers knelt on the ground.

"His Royal Highness, you are a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The people fell silent for an instant, and the noisy scene disappeared instantly. I don't know who spoke first.

"Tai...Prince?"

"The Crown Prince is here, and he is here to investigate the case!"

"The prince is here! Great, with the prince here, he will definitely find out the truth and bring justice to all the people in the world!"

"Prince!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness, please save those innocent girls, save us ordinary people who have no one to protect us!"

"Kneel down and beg Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"

…

It was almost a one-sided situation. Just now, everyone was angrily insulting the officials and the court. They wanted to express their bad words even if they couldn't survive.

But since the prince appeared.

Even though he didn't say a word, all the people knelt on the ground. Complaints, grievances, and sobs came from all directions. They seemed to be grabbing the only life-saving food and grass, asking the prince to seek justice for them. .

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves his people like a son.

Only then did Chu Heng learn that...it turned out that his people also loved him.

Zhai Li was good at calculating and incited the people to coerce the court to let him go. This was a dead end that no one could break. Even the prince was desperate and compromised. But in the dark night before dawn, clusters of sparks suddenly rose up, lighting up the road under his feet.

The prince's eyes were red, and he looked at the aggrieved people kneeling and crying at his feet. He suppressed the sourness in his heart and said, "I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Great! His Highness the Crown Prince agreed!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"

…

Knowing that the prince was here, the angry people were calmed down and left reluctantly from the gate of the Yamen.

This scene, let alone the officials, even the guards in the East Palace found it terrifying. It was simply unbelievable to the extreme. They have lived for so many years and have never seen anyone who can convince so many strangers who don't know each other just by showing their face.

This is the result of winning the hearts of the people.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always helped various departments since he entered the East Palace; after being appointed as the Crown Prince, he has made full use of his status and solved many major cases.

Between power and the people, he has always stood on the side of the people without hesitation, which makes the people trust him very much.

As soon as the Crown Prince returned, he sat down to write a memorial. Since the people did not blame the court for this, it means that he can not only kill Zhai Li, but also bring all the fifty-five officials to justice.

Thinking of this, he felt that the pent-up anger in his heart finally dissipated, and he couldn't help laughing after writing.

Things are moving in a good direction.

"Hand the memorial to the palace." The Crown Prince instructed, and the guard just agreed and was about to go down.

At this moment, the Crown Princess hurriedly came in from outside and snatched the memorial from the guard.

The guard was stunned, but realized that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and retreated very attentively.

"Qing Rong?" The Crown Prince frowned and looked at her.

The Crown Princess' eyes were red, and she clenched the memorial with her fingers, so tightly that she could break it. She said word by word in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, no... This memorial cannot be sent to the palace."
