I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 158: Debate with Scholars (2)

Xie Chuyue also saw the statements of her father and brothers, so she became even more arrogant. She looked at the civil and military officials and smiled arrogantly: "I really love the way you are. You don't blame me, but you have no way to deal with me!"

An old official from the civil service could no longer bear it, and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Mingde, saying, "Your Majesty, if you do not punish the princess, I will crash into the ground and die in the Golden Throne Hall, as a warning to you!"

Hearing what the adult said, Xie Chuyue disagreed. These old guys valued their lives very much, how could they possibly die in the hall?

"Then you hit it. The pillar is over there."

After someone said this, he pointed to a pillar not far away.

The civil servant was so angry that he almost fainted. After he calmed down, he looked at Emperor Mingde, only to see that his Majesty still had no expression on his face. So he spoke again: "If Your Majesty does not severely punish the Princess, I will kneel in the Golden Palace until I die."

"Haha!" Xie Chuyue laughed, then looked at the civil servant and said, "Didn't you just say that I would die in this Golden Palace? You must keep your word!"

"You, you, you, you! ... I will not treat you like a mere woman."

Xie Chuyue: "As a censor, this gentleman can't even win an argument with a little girl like me. He is just a censor with nothing but appearance. It would be better for him to kill himself and leave behind a good reputation of giving advice with his life!"

After Xie Chuyue finished speaking, the adult fainted from anger.

When the generals saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded and moved aside. They couldn't afford to offend him.

When the civil servant saw this scene, he was furious and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is so arrogant and unreasonable. She has no respect for the law. She knows she is wrong but refuses to change. She is making up stories. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for us."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us." Several more civil servants stood up.

Xie Yunqi took a deep breath, turned around and faced everyone, his voice as cold as ice, "How dare you! These are just three male favorites, it's harmless, why do you make it so serious? Just as Chunyang said, she is the most honorable princess of my Nanyue Kingdom, whatever she wants should be given to her, just a few men, the Japanese palace should send some more handsome men over for the imperial sister to choose from."

The emperor almost choked on his own saliva, and quickly put his hand on his chest and patted it gently.

Xie Yunshen also stood up and said, "You want to vent your anger, but you've gone to the wrong place, right? And he's already entered the Princess's residence and has become the Princess's male favorite. It's a fact that can't be changed. Is it meaningful for you to say it now? Can participating in it change anything?"

The civil and military officials were all in agreement. The four men of the Xie family were filled with disgust. How could they allow the princess to do such a rebellious thing? But after all, she was the Son of Heaven, the crown prince, and the prince.

He is the king and they are the subjects!

Emperor Mingde met everyone's gazes and said in a cold voice, "Alright! This matter is over. You still have to take care of your own backyard first, and then take care of Chunyang's family affairs."

“Your Majesty…” Some ministers wanted to make suggestions, but Emperor Mingde got angry.

"Shut up, are you done yet? After all, Chunyang is my daughter. How can you point fingers at me? Okay, if you are willing to kneel, then kneel in the Golden Throne Hall. I have no objection."

Emperor Mingde was getting a little impatient. Is this going to end? Didn't Chunyang just appreciate handsome men? Why did they say it was an unforgivable crime?

Civil and military officials: Aren’t their lives important? Why would His Majesty treat them like this?

So the morning court ended with everyone angry but not daring to speak out.

Emperor Mingde threw off his dragon robe and went to the side room, letting him take his time. He couldn't accept it. Did his daughter really have a male lover? No, he had to go to Yue'er's house to see for himself.

Emperor Mingde thought so and called a young eunuch to change his clothes. But when he was halfway through putting on his clothes, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

How could a father like him personally visit his daughter's male lover? Isn't this too embarrassing?

No, let's bring that nasty thing in for ourselves to see.

So the emperor finally felt a little relieved.

However, the court officials who left the Golden Palace were not so happy. The official who had been confronted by Xie Chuyue and fainted was now staggering when he walked. Fortunately, he was supported by two other officials.

The two officials patiently consoled him softly, "Sir, don't be angry. We really can't defeat the little troublemaker Princess. We have been investigating her for so many years, and we have only won a few times. This time is nothing. We will try to defeat her next time."

System: [Hahahaha! These three are so ambitious! ]

After hearing what the system said, Xie Chuyue also suppressed her laughter, walked past the three people very calmly, and chuckled: "Haha, if you are new, then practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"

The minister had been comforted and felt a little better, but when he heard Xie Chuyue's words, he became angry again. He pointed at the person who owed him so much and kept saying "you you you" for a long time, "you you you......"

Xie Chuyue just felt angry and amused. They were the ones who provoked her first, so how come she became the bad guy who made them angry in the end?

I just said a few words, is it that serious?

System: [Hahahaha, host, you've broken their defenses. I'm afraid these people will ask the imperial physician to come and see them when they return.]

Xie Chuyue: [Then should I remind them? ]

At this time, the Prime Minister, who was walking with Old Master Su, followed Old Master Su to Xie Chuyue's side. The Prime Minister said earnestly: "Your Highness, you are a woman after all. You have so many male favorites. Don't you care about your reputation?"

Xie Chuyue scratched her head, looking confused, then pointed at herself and said, "Me? Reputation? Are you talking about me?"

The Prime Minister nodded.

Just when everyone thought Xie Chuyue knew she was wrong, they heard Xie Chuyue say, "When has my reputation ever been good? Why would I care about it? Reputation can be good or bad. It was what it was before, but now it's abnormal!"

Everyone: ………They were speechless!

After walking a few steps, Xie Chuyue turned back and reminded everyone: "My lords, please remember to see a doctor when you return home, lest you get sick from anger. That would be bad."

The civil and military officials watched Xie Chuyue leave, their expressions changing from time to time, and finally they all had gloomy faces and returned home in anger.

After Xie Chuyue returned home, she changed out of her court dress and looked at the system sitting at the table making tea for her. "System, take off your clothes and let me see the body you have transformed into."

"Oh, okay!" The system said as it undressed. He thought it was nothing.

Xie Chuyue frowned and asked, "Are you sure that you, a robot, don't have human emotions?"

"No, host. Human emotions are too complicated for the system to handle!"

While the system was speaking, it had already stripped off all the clothes on its body.
