After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

In the Jinluan Palace.

Today was not a grand court meeting, but it was also very lively. Civil officials, military generals, royal relatives, and those who should and shouldn't have been summoned were all present.

The coup attempt last night failed, and the Sansi prison was filled with people who wanted to escape from the world. The emperor and his ministers had nothing to say to those who were willing to die, so they just helped them.

What everyone is discussing now is whether the unfortunate deposed prince should be convicted as well.

The Dali Temple Minister is the most stubborn and dares to speak and act.

Anyway, he was a clear neutral and had never sided with any side. Especially when he held the law in his hands, he had to be fair, strict and upright.

"Your Majesty, I dare to make a suggestion!"

Lord Song threw up his official robe and knelt on the ground. As a minister, he didn't need to be polite all the time, but wasn't he courting death now? So he knelt down and spoke, which made him feel good.

"Princess Shengping married into the Yuan Dynasty and indeed made contributions to the country.

However, this time his wolfish ambition and audacious attempt to overthrow the government and shake the foundation of the country are truly unforgivable crimes!

The merits do not outweigh the faults, and they must be severely punished!"

He reiterated that he would definitely put the culprit to death. After receiving no rebuke or rebuttal from the emperor, the Dali Temple Minister continued his advice.

“Although the deposed crown prince was not directly involved, he is not without any responsibility!

If it weren't for the former Eastern Palace, Princess Shengping's reputation and means alone would not have allowed her to create such a commotion.

Therefore, I dare to ask the emperor to put the country first! "

The Minister of Punishments and the Left Censor-in-Chief also stepped out at the same time, and both knelt down beside the Chief Justice to give his advice.

"I hope our emperor will put the country first!"

"I hope our emperor will put the country first!"

The three officials are in charge of the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, and they are all the backbone of the Great Qi Dynasty. They are human beings, and sometimes they will inevitably have their own selfish desires.

But at this moment, they really didn't.

They were just forcing the emperor to make a decision.

After all, the existence of the deposed crown prince is indeed a very uneasy reason. If it can cause a coup once, it can cause a second time, a third time...

Or the emperor could just be cruel and reinstate the crown prince.

Or the emperor would have to be ruthless and get rid of the second prince directly.

The entire hall was filled with the echoing sound of these remonstrances, and then there was a frightening silence.

For a whole quarter of an hour, the emperor still did not speak. He just lowered his eyes and slowly moved the rosary in his hand.

The civil and military officials standing guard below exchanged glances quietly.

Everyone understood that the emperor had no heart to get rid of the second prince. The former crown prince was born in a clean family, was upright and righteous, and had a good character. Apart from being unsuitable to be an emperor, he could almost be considered a good man if he had not been a crown prince.

But unfortunately, alas.

Which prince in the future would be willing to tolerate a deposed crown prince who could cause a coup at any time?

Pei Changjing's left hand, hidden under his sleeve, trembled slightly. He raised his eyes and looked around quietly, and his eyes met those of many of his brothers and sisters.

There was a lot of content in everyone's eyes, which made him sigh in his heart.

The second sister's attempt to sow discord just now was not without its viciousness. All the brothers and sisters had their own plans in mind. If Pei Laoliu behaved in an abnormal way today, there would probably be more than one or two people who would dig holes for him in the future!

The frowning brows slowly relaxed after meeting a pair of clear eyes. Alas, Dai Xiaoqi still has a good life. Look at this heartless person.

A smile flashed across Pei Changjing's lips.

Shen Mufeng, who had been paying close attention to his reaction, finally let go of the tension in his heart. He turned his head slightly and winked at Lin Youan who was hiding on the side, and the kid smiled silently.

Many people in the palace were talking and flirting with each other, and many old foxes with sharp minds saw it all. It was as if the feet of Duke Wu had taken root, firmly sticking to the spot without moving.

Annan Hou, who followed him around, also shrank back with peace of mind. Fatty Wu doesn't even stick his head out, so I definitely shouldn't talk nonsense.

This is the good thing about people with a clear mind. It’s okay if they are not smart, but they know how to follow smart people.

"Where is the clan order?"

When the emperor summoned him, Prince Cheng hurried forward to make his response.

"The old minister is here!"

"From today on, Princess Shengping will abolish their titles. The names of the Fourth Prince Yu, the Eighth Prince Heng, the Tenth Prince Qiong, as well as the Twelfth and Thirteenth Princes will all be removed from the Imperial Book of Documents and demoted to commoners."

"The minister obeys the order!"

After Prince Cheng returned to the ranks, the Emperor remained silent for a while before he opened his lips to speak.

"Draft an imperial decree to sentence the criminals Pei Jingyue, Pei Changyu, and Pei Changheng to death. Their families, along with the remaining young bastards, will be exiled three thousand miles away, and they will never be allowed to return to the capital."

The Hanlin academicians were quietly drafting the imperial edict. No one dared to ask anything, except the officials from the three ministries in charge of the law.

At certain special moments, like now, they have to rush out and fight with the emperor. This is the duty of the three judicial officials. So everyone else can act like a turtle, but these three poor guys can't hide.

It was still the Dali Temple Minister who was fearless and took the lead. Anyway, he had no sons or grandsons, and only one of his two daughters was left. Unfortunately, she got into trouble many years ago and her reputation was ruined.

How much more miserable can this shitty life get?

I'm not afraid at all that someone will give him a hard time in the future. At worst, I'll just quit!

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Second Prince?"

Your Majesty, are you planning to break the jar and force the person out to support you? Or are you just going to crush him to death and prevent others from using him to stir up trouble?

We have to make it clear what’s going on today!

This would prevent all the families in the capital from falling down and drowning in the ditch one day.

Although the Minister of Justice and the Left Censor-in-Chief did not say anything, they kowtowed together with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and their meaning was very clear.

A decision must be made today!

The emperor glared at them fiercely.

Song Tietou is good in every way. He has been an upright and honest official for many years. The only bad thing about him is that he has no tact!

Why are you urging me? Can't you let me think about it for a while? It turns out that you are not the ones who lost a series of children today! Can't you let me take a break?

To be fair, the emperor was a good and reasonable emperor who knew that this was the duty of the three officials. But the emperor was not a good and reasonable person, so it was inevitable that he would vent his anger on others.

Duke Wu looked at the emperor, then turned to look at Prince Xuan, and then looked at his fat son who was hiding behind Princess Rongchang to watch the fun.

He weighed it over in his mind for a long time before he gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt on the ground.

"The ancients said that a reckless man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Although the Second Prince did not commit treason, he did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him. In order to stabilize the court and the country, I, your Majesty, have the guts to make a decision!"
