The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

In the council hall, all civil and military officials hung their heads.

Chu Ze was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a pattern of a dragon soaring over the sea, edged with gold thread, and wearing a purple gold crown on his head. He exuded the aura of a king.

As the long voice of the messenger outside the hall sounded, he looked at the hall door with his sharp black eyes.

"Your Highness Prince Xuanchen and Princess Yongle are here to see you—"

Civil and military officials secretly turned their heads and glanced at the palace door.

Chu Heng was seen in a dark court robe, with sword-like eyebrows slanted, and his chiseled face no longer had the ruffian look of the past, but was instead fierce and intimidating, not inferior to the emperor above.

The ministers secretly thought that today's morning court would not be peaceful.

Sure enough, Chu Heng and the other man entered the hall, standing straighter than the other, without any greeting.

Shangguan Huai was the first to stand up and said, "Your Highness, do you still have the Emperor in your eyes? You didn't even show respect to the Emperor when you saw him!"

Chu Heng looked up with a pair of eyes as deep as a pool of water, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, I have the emperor in my heart."

"Then why don't you kneel?"

Chu Heng looked straight at Chu Ze above him: "My brother didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"

Everyone was shocked.

This Prince Chen was so arrogant as soon as he came in. Whose power is he relying on?

Jiang Ge Lao and others were anxious and reminded quietly: "Your Highness, now is not the time to act on impulse."

Chu Heng retracted his gaze and gave a soothing look to Lord Jiang and the others, who sighed.

How come Your Highness became so reckless after his trip to Liping?

There was a faint smile on Chu Ze's lips. In his opinion, Chu Heng was unwilling to accept this.

But if you lose, you lose.

Now he was sitting on a high place and Chu Heng was standing below.

He is the king and Chu Heng is the minister.

The more arrogant Chu Heng is now, the more serious the charges will be against him later.

He slowly raised his hand, interrupting the quarrel below about the salute.

"We'll talk about Prince Chen's matter later. Yongle!" Chu Ze looked at Chu Wan.

Chu Wan looked at Chu Ze with disgust and hatred in her eyes.

Who would have thought that he, who used to be gentle and caring for his siblings, would actually attack his father in order to fight for the throne. He is truly a beast in human form!

That look seemed to anger Chu Ze, and Chu Ze's eyes turned cold: "Yongle, you have been in Liping for less than half a year, and you are so rude? Or have you been instigated by someone to rebel against me?"

Chu Wan looked at Chu Heng.

Many ministers also jumped out and blamed Chu Wan.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yongle was a princess. When the engagement between Northern Qi and Dongling was made, she escaped from the engagement in Liping and came to Dongling, a place of dishonesty, which almost caused a disaster. Now she is back, but she has no intention of repenting, so she should be severely punished!"

"Yes, as a princess, she enjoyed supreme power and wealth, but when it came time to take responsibility, she ran away. This is not something a princess of a country can do."

"Princess Yongle used to be pure and upright. She would never do anything that would disregard the people. She must have been instigated by someone."

Chu Heng curled his lips and looked at the minister: "You might as well just say that it was instigated by the king."

The minister's eyes flickered for a moment, and in order not to show his cowardice and to show his face in front of Chu Ze, he stiffened his neck and said, "It was you. Otherwise, why did Princess Yongle flee to Liping?"

Chu Heng looked up and said, "Dongling has already sent a princess and a noble lady to Northern Qi. In a short period of time, the fourth sister passed away in Northern Qi. Did you go and ask for an explanation?"

"She died of illness. Northern Qi cannot be blamed for this."

"Died of illness? Even if she died of illness, it was because Northern Qi didn't take good care of her. Northern Qi not only didn't apologize, but also asked to send another princess over. You actually agreed."

"Northern Qi has strong soldiers and horses..."

"So what? If one day Northern Qi asks for the city of Dongling, will you also offer it with both hands?"

Chu Ze was furious: "Chu Heng, you are so outrageous!"

He was originally going to convict these two men, but he interrogated them in front of the temple.

He is the emperor, no one in the world dares to blame him!

"This is also for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I have already promised Northern Qi, and this cannot be changed! You instigated Yongle to escape the marriage, and protected her for so long, and you still refuse to repent. Your crime is even more serious!"

The Shangguan family immediately jumped out and continued to pile up charges against Chu Heng: "Not only that, when the Prince of Chen went to Liping, he also privately exempted the people from taxes, disrupted tax collection, and the people in many places complained."

"Just because the emperor refused to kneel, he can be punished severely."

Cheng Zongyang also stepped forward to denounce: "Prince Chen, you see my daughter is young and ignorant, and you kidnapped her to Liping to suffer, which shows that you have corrupt personal morals."

Cheng Zongyang thought that being held hostage sounded better than eloping.

This time the Emperor asked everyone in his residence to write a letter to that wicked girl, and he knew that the Emperor had not given up on that wicked girl.

He didn't expect that the emperor still missed the wicked girl even though she had been in Liping for so long.

Thinking of Cheng Jiuyuan's bewitching face, he felt that he could understand it.

He must seize this opportunity.

Maybe that evil girl can't become the queen, but being able to enter the palace and become a concubine is better than what she has now.

"How can such a person with corrupt personal ethics and rebellious intentions be qualified to stand in the hall!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't punish Prince Chen, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the people!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Prince Chen severely!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Prince Chen severely!"

Several neutral factions, including Lord Jiang, still wanted to plead for mercy.

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen is just young and hot-tempered. He just doesn't want Dong Ling to be led by the nose by Bei Qi all the time."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Prince Chen protects Princess Yongle because he values ​​the relationship between brothers. Please be lenient with your sentence."

"Your Highness, please kneel down and apologize!" Someone urged Chu Heng in a low voice, but Chu Heng did not even bend his knees.

Chu Ze said with embarrassment: "I am not a heartless person, but this time the prince made a big mistake and showed no remorse. You have seen it. If he is not punished, it will not be enough to convince the people."

Lord Jiang raised his head and looked around, only to find that Minister Luan and Marquis Zhaoxin were not there. He winked at Marshal Jiang and the others, but there was no worry on their faces.

"I spare Prince Chen's life out of consideration for our brotherly love, and only imprison his clan members..."

Before he could finish, Chu Wan interrupted him loudly: "What qualifications do you have to imprison the fifth brother? Stop pretending to be kind. Don't you want to repeat your old tricks and kill the fifth brother with fire after imprisoning him? Just like you did to the crown prince before!"

As soon as Chu Wan finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the court.

All the cities were filled with horror and bowed their heads in fear and trepidation.

Is Princess Yongle crazy or does she want to die? Is it okay to say this?

No one can save her now!

Sure enough, the smile on Chu Ze's face could no longer be maintained.

"Yongle, I think you are tired of living!"

"Am I wrong? You are a beast in human form. What can't you do to get that position?"

Seeing that the fifth brother did not stop her, Chu Wan cursed even more happily.

She couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart without scolding him.

"Don't you feel guilty sitting in that position?"

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"What? You want to kill me? That's right, you've killed so many people, so what if I'm one more? Unfortunately, after all you've done, you're destined to get nothing! You didn't get the throne legitimately, God has a vision..."

"Princess, please shut up." Lord Jiang felt that the brother and sister were insane today.

Shangguan Huai said coldly: "Princess Yongle, the late emperor left a will, passing the throne to the emperor, this throne is legitimate!"

"Really? Chu Ze, does father really want to pass the throne to you?"

Chu Ze stood up slowly, his face calm and his eyes cold.

He originally wanted to let these two people go temporarily, one imprisoned and the other married.

Since they were seeking death, he didn't need to be merciful.

"Somebody come!"
