The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 32: Settlement of accounts after the fall

Emperor Wen finally broke out and completely ignored the emperor's etiquette. He punched and kicked his four sons in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

The four of them were so frightened that they did not dare to scream even though their whole bodies were in pain.

Looking at the scene in front of them, all the officials were stunned.

No one expected that Emperor Wen would be so angry.

However, this is not difficult to understand.

The six sons went to Beiguan, and the king and his ministers all went up the mountain!

These four princes would do anything to harm the sixth prince.

Yun Zheng buried his head tightly and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Even he himself did not expect this effect.

Speaking of which, I have to thank the people who colluded with Beihuan to frame me!

If it hadn't been for this bad thing, Emperor Wen would never have been so angry that he beat his four sons in front of the ministers.

This is not showing any dignity to the four princes!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing that Emperor Wen was so angry that he could hardly breathe, Mu Shun quickly ran forward to support Emperor Wen, and persuaded him with fear on his face: "Your Majesty, take care of your holy body!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Take care of your holy body!"

The ministers came to their senses and quickly knelt down.

Yun Zheng was speechless and had no choice but to kneel down.

Emperor Wen vented his anger and finally felt a little better.

Emperor Wen was still angry and roared: "Lao Liu has just gained some limelight and received some rewards, and you are so eager to frame him? Tell me, where did Lao Liu stand in your way?"

The four of them were frightened to death, shaking their heads desperately but not daring to speak.

"Today, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and Lao Liu, I can tell you directly that there is no way that Lao Liu will be established as the prince!"

Emperor Wen roared angrily, then raised his eyes to look at Yun Zheng, "Lao Liu, do you have any objections?"

"No."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said sincerely: "My son is not good at literature and martial arts, so he relied on luck to achieve some achievements. He will never dare to covet the position of prince."

"Stop talking about this nonsense! It has nothing to do with whether you are talented or not!"

Emperor Wen glared at Yunzheng angrily, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Your mother's identity determines it, and you can't be made a prince! You have no foundation to speak of. If you inherit the throne, I will definitely cause civil strife. !"

Emperor Wen was so angry today that he showed off his cards in front of his sons.

At the same time, he was also warning Yun Li and the others that Yun Zheng would never be made the crown prince and not to plot against Yun Zheng again.

Yun Zheng pretended to be lonely and nodded: "Although I am not a great talent, I am not a fool either. I still understand this."

"Just understand!"

Emperor Wen sighed softly, "This is destiny, don't blame Father!"

"My son understands."

Yunzheng nodded again.

Emperor Wen nodded happily, then looked at his sons who were still kneeling in anger, "Get out of here! Third brother, keep kneeling! Kneel down for me!"

Yun Li's heart suddenly trembled, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Everyone stood up one after another. The second prince and the three of them looked at Yun Li with hatred, wishing to strangle this bastard to death.

He plotted to kill Lao Liu, causing them all to suffer the same fate.

This bastard who harms others and himself!

You deserve to continue kneeling!

"Do you know why I want you to continue kneeling?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li condescendingly.

Yun Li was frightened and cried tremblingly: "Father, I have been wronged! I really did not frame my sixth brother! I also lent him more than 10,000 taels of silver to my sixth brother the night before yesterday. Both my sons and my sixth brother returned to their families." Well, how could I possibly..."

"I didn't say that!"

Emperor Wen was furious and kicked Yun Li over again, then looked at Yun Zheng.

Yunzheng's eyelids twitched and he was speechless.

Look at what I'm doing!

Am I the fucking victim, okay?

Well, I am the victim!

Yun Zheng said to himself confidently.

Emperor Wen withdrew his gaze, looked at Yun Li who was kneeling again, and shouted angrily: "I ask you, you clearly know that the pensions of the wounded and killed soldiers in the Battle of Shuobei were embezzled, why don't you repay them?"

"What?"

Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Xiao Wanchou suddenly stood up and asked with blazing eyes: "Is what the Holy One said true?"

"Let's talk about this later!"

Emperor Wen signaled Xiao Wanchou to return to his position and stared at Yun Li coldly, "I have given you opportunities again and again during the meeting today, just waiting for you to report this matter. Why don't you report it?"

So that's what happened!

Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a worried face: "My father will definitely be furious if I know about reporting this matter. I want to wait until Beihuan's request for food is over before reporting it to my father. So as not to let Bei Huan see the joke."

"Your Majesty, even the humble ministers know this."

Xu Shifu quickly stood up and bowed: "Yesterday, His Highness the Third Highness came to see Wei Chen when he learned about this. It was Wei Chen who suggested His Highness wait until Beihuan's request for food is over before repaying..."

"Really?"

Emperor Wen's expression softened slightly.

"Wei Chen is guilty!"

Xu Shifu quickly bowed to apologize.

"You are indeed guilty!"

Emperor Wen glanced at Xu Shifu with cold eyes, returned to the throne with the support of Mu Shun, and said with a frosty face: "I said five years ago that those soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for me are heroes! Who? If you dare to touch their pension, I will touch their head!"

After saying that, Emperor Wen shouted angrily: "Xiao Wanchou and Yu Fu listen to the decree!"

Xiao Wanchou and Yu Fu quickly stepped forward to listen to the order.

"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will jointly investigate this case! Anyone who embezzles the pensions of those soldiers, whether they are princes, ministers or petty officials, will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law!"

After hearing Emperor Wen's decree, the people couldn't help but panic.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly investigated the case!

Emperor Wen was worried about the Ministry of Punishment and wanted Xiao Wanchou, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to be involved!

Because Emperor Wen knew that Xiao Wanchou would never tolerate those who were greedy for the pensions of those soldiers.

After Xiao Wanchou and Yu Fu received the decree, Emperor Wen said in a deep voice: "Xu Shifu, the Minister of Household Affairs, knew about it but refused to report it. He will be fined one year's salary! The third prince Yun Li will be punished for the same crime and will be punished by kneeling in the Taimiao for three days!"

The two of them did not dare to neglect and quickly accepted the order.

Looking at the ashen-faced Emperor Wen, Yun Zheng couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Although I am a cheap man who is not a wise king, I am not a foolish king either.

At least, in terms of treating the soldiers who shed blood and died for Daqian, they did a good job.

It's just that the punishment given to Xu Shifu and Yun Li was too light.

Just when Yunzheng was thinking wildly, Emperor Wen looked up and said, "Lao Liu, do you suspect that your third brother is setting you up? That's why you deliberately used your third brother's head as a bet to scare him?"

Yun Zheng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Yes!"

There is no point in denying something so obvious!

"Okay, I'll give you a chance!" Emperor Wen took a deep breath, "I allow you to slap your third brother twice in front of the ministers today!"

"ah?"

Yun Zheng was stunned and looked at Emperor Wen in disbelief.

"Father, you are really not a son-in-law!"

Yun Li cried out with aggrieved face.

"Shut up!"

Emperor Wen stopped Yun Li and glared at Yun Zheng: "What are you afraid of? I gave you permission to slap him. Can he still eat you?"

"Ah this..."

Yun Zheng laughed dryly, "Father, isn't this bad?"

"Nothing bad!"

Emperor Wen said angrily: "I can't bear to see you being such a coward!"

"Father has misunderstood."

Yun Zheng smiled sheepishly, "I'm weak and don't have much strength in my hands. It won't hurt if I slap the third brother on the face! How about... let Erchen kick the third brother's life?"
