For a moment, every gaze in the hall was focused on Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie even had an illusion in a trance, whether he had conspired with He Yi for something, but his nobleman was too forgetful, so he forgot it for a while.

Xiao Jie felt a little guilty and raised his eyes to look at his father, but saw him staring at him with cold eyes, his expression was indescribably complicated.

Xiao Jie couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, now he might not be able to clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

After all, He Yi was originally just a supervisory censor. It was Xiao Jie’s father-in-law Su Jing who wrote a letter stating that he served the censor as a curator. After Su Jing resigned, He Yi took over as the censor Zhongcheng. In the eyes of others, He Yi was He is Xiao Jie's henchman.

Now at the banquet, in front of all members of the royal family and ministers, He Yi blatantly recommended Xiao Jie as the crown prince at the banquet. It was difficult for everyone not to misunderstand.

"Presumptuous, it is the emperor's family business who should be appointed as the prince. Your majesty has his own holy decision. How can you get a censor Zhongcheng to talk too much? He Zhongcheng, you are so aggressive in front of the imperial court. Instigated!"

At this time, Zhongshu Ling Zhou Jun got up angrily, pointed at He Yi, and retorted angrily.

Xiao Jie felt that Zhou Jun didn't mention him in a word, but every word was close to him, and he almost read Xiao Jie's ID number (if there was one).

He Yi didn't flinch at all, and responded to Zhou Jun in a deep voice: "I, He Yi, have always come out of my sincere heart to Daning and His Majesty, and have never been ordered by anyone. Besides, the Tian family has no private affairs, and the emperor's family affairs are the world's Now His Majesty has been slow to establish a crown prince, which has caused all the adult princes to covet the position of the East Palace, discord with each other, and even attack each other, and all the ministers in the court are obsessed with speculating on the holy will, competing to cling to each other, so that the court and the opposition form cliques for personal gain , the parties are united against differences..."

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Cui Shi, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, took the case and interrupted He Yi's words mercilessly, retorting in a cold voice, "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, young and powerful, why do you insist on forcing His Majesty to rush to establish a crown prince? What's more , the matter of establishing a reserve is related to the state system, and it should be cautious, how could it be so hasty."

He Yi seems to be determined today, and whoever refutes him will refute whoever he says: "Cui Shangshu's words are wrong. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but as long as the crown prince is uncertain, the princes will still fight for it." Endlessly, the ministers of the court are still obsessed with the merits of supporting the heir, and the subjects of the world feel uneasy."

Zhou Jun sneered a few times, and said coldly: "I don't want to say that it is a crime of disrespect for you to force Your Majesty to appoint a crown prince. Even if Your Majesty wants to appoint a crown prince, why must you appoint King Qi instead of other princes."

Zhou Jun's words completely dragged Xiao Jie into the water. Everyone looked at Xiao Jie with strange and playful eyes, as if they had already decided that the instigator of this farce was obviously Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie's face sank like water, and he remained silent, showing no intention of defending himself.

Because he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be explained at all. Even if he broke his throat, no one would believe him.

He Yi's eyes fell on Xiao Jie again, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has twelve princes in total, King Qi and King Qin are the most outstanding, and the other princes are no better than them. Now the queen has not given birth to a son. The position is naturally to establish the virtuous and not to establish the superior, so it is natural to choose one person between the King of Qi and the King of Qin to be registered."

"Your Majesty is a martial artist, and he is determined to expand the territory of Daning. King Qin swept the Western Regions with outstanding martial arts, so he won the sacred heart. Although it is said that King Qi is not as good as King Qin in terms of marching and fighting, King Qi is better at governing the country. He can use a In less than a year, Jiaozhou, the poorest and weakest state in Daning, has been governed into the state with the highest taxation in Daning, which can be seen from the world, even if the saint is alive, he may not be able to create such a miracle."

"Nowadays, the world is at peace. The most important thing for a ruler is not to conquer the world, but to govern the world. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to establish a heir, King Qi is naturally the best. If King Qi inherits the country of Daning, it must be the luck of Daning." , the blessing of the people of the world..."

"enough!"

Xiao Ji's long face was furious, and he jumped up against the case, staring fixedly at He Yi who was still struggling to admonish him.

"Your Majesty will calm down when you wait for death."

The emperor was furious, and everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, saying that it was a capital crime.

Xiao Jie also wailed in his heart. In later generations, there was a female lecturer who used three sentences to make a man spend 18 yuan for herself. At that time, there was He Zhongcheng who used three sentences to offend the entire royal family.

Say Xiao Ji is very happy, say that Xiao Jie is not as good as Xiao Huang in marching and fighting, say that Xiao Huang is not as good as Xiao Jie in governing the region, and say that other princes are not as good as Xiao Jie and Xiao Huang.

Good guy, no matter which emperor is in power, as long as He Yi has a member of the nine clans alive, he has to thank the emperor for his benevolence.

Xiao Jie can also see that He Yi is not playing any conspiracy to kill himself, nor is he being instigated by anyone, but simply recognizes his talent in governing the country, and sincerely wants to recommend himself to be the prince of Daning.

Xiao Jie also finally understands what it means to be one fan and ten blacks. He has good intentions, but his EQ really catches chickens. For such a farce at the banquet, I don’t know how many ministers will think that he was ordered by him, so Turning black on yourself or even turning fans to black.

Now father Huang Longyan is furious, and he doesn't know how this farce will end in the end.

"Your Majesty, it is an unforgivable crime for He Yi, as the imperial censor, to blatantly discuss the matter of setting up the reserve, and to sow discord between the father and son of the Tian family. I ask your majesty to send He Yi to prison for questioning. Our Criminal Department will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the mastermind behind the scenes." man of."

Seeing that the matter had come to such an extent, Cui Shi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, took the initiative to ask for orders to find out the truth and find out who was behind the scenes.

Xiao Jie shook his head secretly in his heart, slandering that you might as well just say that you want to arrest Qi Wang Xiao Jie.

But now Xiao Jie is in an extremely embarrassing situation. If he stands up to intercede for He Yi, he will admit that He Yi was ordered by him. His own officials were disappointed.

He Yi himself was not intimidated by Cui Shi's words, he bowed in Xiao Ji's direction again, and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you that the minister's bold admonition at the banquet today is definitely not to disturb the elegance of Your Majesty and others on purpose. I don't even intend to provoke the family relationship between the father and son of the Tian family, but I really can't bear to compete for the position of the crown prince, so that the brothers of the princes are at odds, which will lead to the instability of the country. For the long-term plan of Daning, His Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible. Set up the prince early."

"Come on!"

Xiao Ji shouted violently, and then a group of guards filed in, waiting for the order.
