Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

Emperor Ming of Jin looked at Tian Rumo and felt something was wrong for some reason.

Tian Ruomo and Xiao Jun are in the same group. Would she mention Xiao Zhong's matter in public?

Emperor Jin Ming looked at Tian Ruomo and said, "Whatever you want to mention, just come with me to the Imperial Study and tell me directly!"

Tian Ruomo shook her head, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It is a major matter. I want to bring it up here so that everyone can discuss how to deal with it!"

Emperor Jin Ming's face suddenly turned dark!

Is Tian Ruomo planning to use the officials to put pressure on him and force him to agree to a public trial of Xiao Chong?

"General Tian, ​​I told you to come with me to the Imperial Study and tell me first so I can judge whether it needs to be submitted to the court for discussion!"

Tian Rumo met the gaze of Emperor Jin Ming without any retreat.

"What I have reported must be discussed on the spot, because this is a tragic case involving five villages and the lives of thousands of people!"

It really is this matter!

"General Tian, ​​I said..."

"His Majesty!"

Tian Ruomo interrupted Emperor Jin Ming and pulled out a memorial from her sleeve. "This is a memorial from Yao Dongfang, the chief judge of the Dali Temple. A copy should have been sent to your desk last night. You already know about it!"

"The official in charge of investigating the Yizi Village massacre a while ago, as well as the massacres in four other villages in recent years, Yao Dongfang, the chief of the Dali Temple, found a survivor at the Yizi Village massacre scene."

"The survivor is called Zhu Youcai, a child. He saw with his own eyes the mastermind behind the massacre."

"Yao Dongfang also found the records of people entering and leaving the city gate. It just so happened that before the massacre in Yizi Village, only His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai led the guards out of the city."

"Yao Dongfang's memorial requests that Your Majesty conduct a joint trial and let the child identify the murderer. The entire process must be conducted in front of a large number of citizens in the capital, in public, to demonstrate fairness and justice."

"Your Majesty, this request is reasonable. What do you think?"

The whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Tian Rumo in surprise.

The massacre of the whole village is actually related to King Xiaozhong of the same generation?

No wonder, at the last morning court session, Tian Rumo inexplicably asked Xiao Zhong if he knew about the massacre in Yizi Village?

That's it!

Then, all the officials looked up at Emperor Ming of Jin, only to see that his face was extremely gloomy, as if lightning and thunder would strike at any time!

Some people who originally wanted to say a few words now didn't dare to open their mouths.

Although they are willing to stand on the side of Xiao Jun and Tian Rumo, it does not mean that they can dare to go against Emperor Ming of Jin like Tian Rumo!

Demanding a public trial for Xiao Chong would expose the dark side of the royal family nakedly before the public.

How could Emperor Ming of Jin agree?

They are not Tian Rumo. If Emperor Ming of Jin vents his anger on them, they will be skinned alive if not dead.

Therefore, they could only watch helplessly without helping either side.

Seeing that Emperor Jin Ming did not speak, Tian Ruomo continued, "Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than the damage to the image and reputation of the royal family."

"But, think about it from another perspective. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai was wrongly accused, wouldn't it further demonstrate the idea that the royal family abides by the law and that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and make the people trust and love the royal family even more?"

"Your Majesty, a public trial of this case will bring all kinds of benefits and no harm. I think there is no need to hesitate about this matter!"

There was nothing wrong with what Tian Rumo said!

It was difficult for him to refute, as this would make him appear unreasonable and lawless in front of all the officials, which would affect his image as a monarch.

He needs someone to refute Tian Ruomo!

He suddenly looked at Prime Minister Xu Gongmin, and was about to signal Xu Gongmin to refute Tian Rumo on his behalf, but he suddenly heard Xu Gongmin's inner voice.

[Your Majesty obviously wants me to refute General Tian. Doesn't that mean I'm the bad guy? ]

[No, I will pretend that I didn't see your Majesty's look! ]

Xu Gongmin swallowed his saliva, pretending not to notice Emperor Ming of Jin's gaze, gently brushed the corner of his clothes with his fingers, lowered his head respectfully, and no longer looked at Emperor Ming of Jin.

The other ministers who had been paying close attention to Emperor Ming of Jin were muttering in their hearts!

[Good fellow, the Prime Minister's reaction is really quick. Whether it is Your Majesty or General Tian, ​​we cannot offend them! ]

[I quickly lowered my head and couldn't look at His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would ask me to refute General Tian! ]

[This is a big problem. You two gods are fighting, please don’t let us mortals get hurt! ]

······

All the officials lowered their heads and pretended not to look at Emperor Ming of Jin. That way, Emperor Ming of Jin would not be able to convey any information to them with his eyes.

After hearing the voices of the officials and seeing them all looking down at the ground, his face became even darker.

Damn, at times like this, I can hear other people’s voices again.

It seems that this group of court ministers have been really controlled by Tian Ruomo. They don't even know what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism mean!

very good!

You don't want to say anything, right? Then I will call your names directly!

He glared at Xu Gongmin, "Lord Xu, tell me whether you agree with General Tian's statement that this case should be tried in public?"

Xu Gongmin's heart skipped a beat. Emperor Ming of Jin was forcing him to choose between him and Tian Rumo!

How to do?

He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After thinking about it, I really have no idea what to do.

Now, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, General Tian is right. I believe that His Royal Highness the King of Dai is innocent. Therefore, it is not important to examine this matter in what occasion or in front of whom."

One emperor and one courtier!

As an old minister, Xu Gongmin was very clear about the current situation of the Jin Dynasty.

Emperor Ming of Jin's control over various places became increasingly weaker.

The military governors and kings often pretended to obey him but actually disobeyed him!

Tian Ruomo's strength made all the military governors tremble with fear.

The imperial court issued a summons to the military governors from all over the country, asking them to return to the capital to report on their work in order to weaken their power.

More than half of the military governors have confirmed their response to the call!

He had already decided to place his bet on Tian Rumo. Now, since Emperor Ming of Jin forced him to make a decision, he could only express his attitude directly.

Xu Gongmin was the head of all officials. With Xu Gongmin's leadership, many officials also made up their minds.

They came forward one after another and spoke out in support of a public trial of the case.

"Your Majesty, the massacre of the village has seriously affected the prestige of the court. Now that there are clues in this case, and even point to His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai, then His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai should clarify it in person and give an explanation to the people."

"That's right, Your Majesty. A person of integrity has nothing to fear. If you hide something, it will be easier for rumors to spread and be used by people with ulterior motives to undermine the court's position among the people."

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with Yao Dongfang's request. He is upright and has nothing to worry about. Just go ahead and openly try the case to calm the public anger."

······

Emperor Ming of Jin's face had long since turned green and then red, and then red and then green, and his fists under the table were clenched tightly.

These bastards are collectively betraying him!
