"Second brother, are you going to let His Majesty behave like this?" Nangong Lian looked particularly excited.

"The emperor's heirs are the foundation of the country, and recruiting the harem is also one of the emperor's means to check and balance the court. Your Majesty! Although you are ordered by heaven, you must put the country, the country, and the country first in everything, so that your ministers can be loyal to you, and only then can the world Only when the people believe in you can we ensure peace in the world, peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and only then can we preserve my thousand-year-old foundation..."

"To shut up!"

Baili Changyao suddenly shouted angrily and swept away the teacup on the table with a swipe of his hand.

"boom--"

The sound of the tea cup breaking was particularly loud in the hall.

The emperor was so angry that the palace attendants in the main hall knelt down again in shock.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Nangong Guang and Nangong Yan quickly offered advice.

Nangong Lian's two sons were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their knees became weak, and they knelt on the ground.

"Nangong Lian, you are so brave!" Baili Changyao stood up and walked to Nangong Lian.

"How is my court? It's not your turn to dictate. Nangong Lian, if it weren't for the blood relationship between you and your mother, your whole family would be dead now!

Is a person like you worthy of mentioning my court and the thousand-year foundation of Daxing? Who gave you the face? Who do you think you are?

You talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and you are sanctimonious, but behind your back you are doing shameful things. Look at these two good sons of yours. They eat, drink, go whoring and gamble all day long. They idle around all day and have no skills. How do you still want to become an official in the court? If scum like you are really allowed to wear official uniforms, this will be my incompetence and stupidity, and the tragedy of great rejuvenation of the country!

And your two granddaughters. When you were in Daizhou, in order to cling to power, you sent them to the bed of a Daizhou official. One of them even gave birth to a child. How dare you attack me? Do you want them to enter the palace as concubines? Do you think I dare not chop off your heads? "

Nangong Lian was shocked, "Your Majesty...you actually..."

He didn't know about the fact that his two granddaughters were given to Daizhou officials at first. It wasn't until the eldest granddaughter was tortured by the official and thrown back with wounds all over his body that he realized what his son had done.

But few people outside knew about this matter. How did the emperor know about it?

Seeing his wonderful expression, Baili Changyao snorted, "Humph! Are you wondering why I know this?"

"If people don't know anything, they can't do anything except themselves, Nangonglian. If I can't even find out this little thing and let you lead me by the nose, I'm not worthy of being the emperor."

His words blocked Nangong so much that he couldn't even say a word. He dared to come to the emperor because he was the emperor's uncle, thinking that the emperor would give him some face.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I will take them away now and never bother Your Majesty again."

Baili Changyao had a sullen face and said nothing. After all, he was thinking of his mother's blood and family ties and did not punish them severely.

"Wait!" Cheng Qingqing suddenly said, "Father, please ask them about the 50 taels of silver."

After hearing this, Baili Changyao looked at Nangong Qing and asked, "Uncle, have you ever borrowed 50 taels of silver from them in my name?"

Nangong Qing was stunned, looking at Nangong Lian's family, he immediately understood, "Replying to Your Majesty, I did borrow money from them, but they all said they had no money and did not lend it to me. I never mentioned this to anyone else. But, how did you know?"

"What? I didn't lend you the silver?" Nangong Lian looked at his two sons and asked angrily: "Nangong Cheng, where did the 50 taels of silver I gave you go?"

"Father...we...we..."

His two sons lowered their heads and hesitated to answer his words.

Ban Shi and Xu Shi looked at their men suspiciously. Looking at their panicked eyes, what else could they not understand? They must have gambled all that money.

"You goddammit, where did you do the 50 taels of silver?"

Ban Shi and Xu Shi ignored the pain on their bodies and pounced on the two men, biting and fighting.

"Stop me all!"

Nangong Lian and Nangong Qing shouted at the same time.

Do these two stupid women think this hall is their home?

Ban Shi and Xu Shi stopped for a moment, then realized where they were and knelt down again.

"Nangong Cheng, you didn't lend your father any money, but you dared to say that the royal family lent your money. How brave you are!" Nangong Guang really couldn't believe that this family was so bold?

"We didn't say..."

Brother Nangong Cheng was trembling with fear, but he still shook his head in denial about what they had not said.

"That's what Ben said."

Cheng Qingqing also came over, pointed at Ban and Xu and said, "They are the ones who said that Father, you can retake the country of Daxing only with the help of their Nangong family."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people present changed again.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen and Quan Zi have never said anything like this." Nangong Qing stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Wei Chen's loyalty to Your Majesty and to Daxing can be seen from the sun and the moon, and he has absolutely no wrong thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly. !”

Seeing their father kneeling down, the Nangong Guang brothers also knelt down.

"My wife never said this!" Ban shook his head in panic, "Princess Qian'an, I know you don't like my wife, but you can't slander me like this! Your Majesty, my wife is unjust!"

"Slandering you?" Cheng Qingqing knelt down and looked at her, "How about we make a bet. If I, the princess, can prove that you said those words, I will cut out both of your tongues."

"You..." Banshi and Xu shivered, but if they admitted it, it would be slandering the emperor, which was a capital crime, and the consequences would be worse than having their tongues cut out.

The two looked at each other secretly.

"We haven't said it before. Do you want Her Royal Highness to beat them into submission?" Even if they were tortured, they would never do it.

"Qing'er, since you can prove that they said these words, you don't need to get their consent. If they really said these words, I will cut out their tongues." Baili Changyao said.

He believed that his daughter would keep her word. These two women were so abominable. They dared to tell lies and confuse right and wrong in front of him. They must be severely punished this time.

"Okay, I'm going to use a little magic now to make what they just said appear again. Everyone, listen up!"

Cheng Qingqing closed her eyes slightly, reached into her sleeves, and turned on the recording button on her phone.

Ban's voice came out clearly: "Empress, you should know that your Majesty was able to regain the country of Daxing only because of the great help of our Nangong family..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this familiar voice.

The owner of this voice is indeed Ban's.
