Reborn, Chaoxiong went crazy after marrying Gu King Proton
Chapter 233 Punished
Ma Xiao's words were sharp and sincere.
In front of important officials in the court, he insulted the Sixth Prince harshly, while at the same time pretending that everything he said was for the good of the Emperor, showing it vividly.
But the actual content... to put it bluntly, it was just a barrage of criticism directed at the Sixth Prince.
Dou Yu, the left prime minister beside him, seemed to have known his reaction long ago and was not surprised at all that Ma Xiao suddenly attacked the Sixth Prince.
He had also heard the rumors about assassins in the palace a few days ago, so it was not surprising that Ma Xiao was confronting the Sixth Prince at this time.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ma is right!" Dou Yu echoed in a deep voice.
The court officials behind him, all belonging to the twelfth prince, responded one after another.
The twelfth prince stood in front and saw his uncle's expression clearly, but he did not show any strange expression.
Because of Ma Xiao's words, most of the officials in the court looked at Pei Qing who was standing silently and pretending to be dead.
There were different expressions on their faces.
When the Sixth Prince heard Ma Xiao tell him exactly what happened in his backyard, his expression changed.
He looked up and saw his father looking at him. He immediately shuddered with fear: "Father, I was injured in the arm by the cannibals and was brought back by the Empress Dowager!
That woman just bought a slave to take care of her because her son was injured!"
As he spoke, the Sixth Prince lifted up his empty sleeves, hoping to get the Emperor to stop making things difficult for him by playing the victim.
Who would have thought that it had been a long time since he and the Empress Dowager wanted to kill Ma E and Pei Ding.
We pretended to be harmonious and we were friendly for a long time.
Who would have thought that Ma Xiao would suddenly attack him today.
It really caught him off guard.
The emperor glanced and said nothing.
It’s good that he is disabled. If the adult prince was not disabled, how could he sit firmly on the throne?
After being reminded by Ma Xiao, the emperor finally remembered that all matters in the wilderness were handled by the Pei family.
Before, the Pei family never asked him for credit or reward for anything they did.
Same thing this time.
But since Ma Xiao has already put this matter in front of all the court officials, isn't he forcing him to give a reward to the Pei family?
But he really doesn't want to...
When the emperor thought of this, his eyes turned. After all, the Sixth Prince was his son, so even if he punished him twice, it wouldn't matter.
As long as he punished the Sixth Prince and then gave the Pei family a symbolic compliment, he could prove his fairness.
As for rewards?
Why should he be asked to reward the Pei family? There is not that much money in his treasury to give to the Pei family.
Besides, if we give the Pei family rewards, what if they become more arrogant and less obedient than before?
The emperor thought for a moment and turned his gaze towards the Sixth Prince: "Xu'er, the Right Prime Minister is right.
You came to the wild land, not only did you do nothing, but you also indulged in women. I am really disappointed."
The Sixth Prince opened his mouth, and when Ma Xiao opened his mouth, he knew this would be the result.
But the emperor's decision without hesitation is still chilling.
But he did not give up his excuses and immediately knelt on the ground: "Father, my arm is injured. Can't I ask someone to serve me?"
He cried and complained about his unwillingness, his voice sounding aggrieved.
But the emperor seemed to have made up his mind and ignored the Sixth Prince's crying. He said to the eunuch beside him: "Xuan, Prince Xu has behaved rudely and has done his job ineffectively.
The punishment was a three-year salary fine and three-month house arrest.
To take charge of the Imperial Guards...” The emperor paused, as if he was thinking about who to give the power to.
At this moment, Pei Qing finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards should be handed over to Prime Minister Ma.
The Right Prime Minister is the head of the military officers, so it would be great if he were in charge of the Imperial Guards!"
Pei Qing followed his sister and fourth brother's instructions and directed the topic directly to Ma Xiao.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, remembering that Pei Ding had been assassinated before, but the assassin was sent by his beloved concubine.
Although he didn't know why, he didn't want to argue with his beloved concubine about this matter.
But since the beloved concubine had already committed the assassination, how could the Pei family swallow their anger? Could it be that the Pei family deliberately wanted to use these imperial guards to give Ma Xiao a chance?
Is there a spy from the Pei family among the Imperial Guards?
Do they want to use spies to make Ma Xiao fall?
The emperor rolled his eyes. The more fiercely the courtiers fought, the happier he was.
So... "In that case, then give it to the Right Prime Minister."
As the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone knows that the Sixth Prince had managed to obtain the power to command the Imperial Guards during his trip to the wild land.
But who would have thought that just by coming back a few days earlier, the cooked duck in his mouth flew away.
The Sixth Prince seemed dumbfounded as well. How come the military power he had just obtained was being transferred to the Twelfth Prince before he could even enjoy it?
He was about to open his mouth to make a few more excuses for himself when he saw the emperor at the top of the table casually wave his hand.
The eunuch beside him also said to the court officials below: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
After the emperor left, all the court officials scattered like birds and beasts.
The Sixth Prince let out a frustrated breath, and couldn't help but stretch out his intact left hand to clench his right sleeve.
Veins popped out on the back of his hands, and anger and resentment boiled in his chest.
But he had no way to resist the emperor's decision, and could only watch as the military token was taken away by Old Twelve and Ma Xiao...
There was also Pei Chun watching the show on the side.
"Sixth brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when did we, as princes, actually cut off our own arms just to avoid helping the people? Just to be lazy.
I really don’t know how much Sixth Brother remembered the teachings of our father.”
The blatant mockery in the twelfth prince's eyes was no longer concealed.
Now that Sixth Brother’s arm is gone, he naturally has no relationship with the Crown Prince anymore.
Originally, his position in the court was second only to his sixth brother.
But now that Sixth Brother’s arm is broken, no one can match him.
What's more, in order to check and balance my sixth brother, my father gave all the royal guards that my sixth brother had to Ma Xiao.
How miserable...
The Sixth Prince looked at the smug look of the Twelfth Prince in front of him, and murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Old Twelve, don't think that by helping the Pei family and snatching the Imperial Guards from me, you can become the crown prince smoothly."
Everyone knows that what our father hates most is one family dominating the world. It was like that when he was with the Crown Prince, and it is also like that when the Twelfth Prince is with him now!
Oh, whoever is arrogant will be suppressed by our father!
As he spoke, the veins on the side of his neck bulged and his eyes were bloodshot.
If you look closely, you can see a few red marks flashing by quickly.
It’s… the insect’s work.
"Really? But I think that compared to the Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince is at least in good health..."
Pei Chun stood behind the twelfth prince for a long time. Seeing this, he said something meaningful.
The Sixth Prince's face froze and his angry eyes immediately turned to Pei Chun.
"Fu Ning, I am the prince. How can you be so arrogant? Where did you learn the rules?!"
