Chapter 627： Out of control
Many people in Kyoto City stayed up all night, and all the important officials knew about the Sifang Mountain incident. Some remained silent, and some stayed up all night to write memorials. This was extremely disrespectful to the Eighth Prince.
There were also many official reports discussing the incident of Yuan Guifei collaborating with the enemy, and imploring the emperor to deal with it in accordance with national laws.
The morning court was extremely lively. Officials headed by Prime Minister Gao all said that it was an honor for Ye Qianning to die to save the eighth prince. As a court official and heir, it was natural for her to die for the royal family.
Yuan Yintang took the imperial order to search and rescue Sifang Mountain, and met the Eighth Prince with Qian Fanji and his party. It was not sure whether the Eighth Prince was being held hostage, so it was normal for him to take action.
Furthermore, Qianjia has already had cases of collaboration with the enemy and the country.
It is normal for casualties to occur on the sword field. The Qian family, the Gu family, and the Zhan family surrounded and killed Yuan Yintang in public for a little baby. This move was another mockery of the royal family, and it was a serious crime.
Concubine Yuan Gui did not collude with Dongsi, but was bewitched by Princess Dongsi.
Another wave of officials and Prime Minister Gao had the opposite view. Concubine Yuan Gui did not like the general's lady, so she secretly asked Duke Yuanyintang to avenge her private life and shoot the officials' family members, which was already a serious crime.
Concubine Yuan Gui was not deceived. She set Sifang Mountain on fire. Concubine Yuan Gui wanted to silence everyone on the mountain.
The criminal who set the fire has been taken into custody. After searching, several eunuchs and guards were found. The evidence that Concubine Yuan Gui committed the crime is conclusive. If such a vicious person is not dealt with, it will be unjust.
During his reign, Emperor Beili said nothing, watching the group of people arguing endlessly.
Overnight, things became more and more out of control, and he still hadn't thought of a suitable solution.
The morning debate lasted from dawn to noon. During this period, all the officials learned that Dean Chen and Qianjia had renounced their nationality. They were shocked. When they learned that the lady of the General's Mansion was not allowed to be buried on the land of Beili, all the officials were speechless.
Those who objected and those who did not all looked at Emperor Beili in shock. What happened?
The emperor actually issued such a vicious decree. Even the children died and were not allowed to be buried in peace. Even Prime Minister Gao, who hated Ye Qianning, was speechless.
The indignant voice just now became quieter, and at this moment, I completely understood what it means to be ruthless as an emperor. "Your Majesty, Dean Chen is a highly respected person. Removing nationality is too hasty. Please think again, Your Majesty."
“Your Majesty, think twice.”
Soon after, all the civil and military officials also reacted and knelt down one after another. Even the officials who had been shouting just now knelt down.
"There is no room for maneuver in this matter. Beili Rong has to respect the emperor's orders." Emperor Beili was resolute and wanted to use this matter to warn everyone that imperial power is heaven.
"Your Majesty, what about Concubine Yuan? The evidence is clear but the Emperor still refuses to deal with her. The Eighth Prince is still in charge of the Yin Yamen. Does the Emperor want to wait until he loses the support of the people?" The minister of Dali Temple raised his head and spoke a little more indignantly.
“Dean Chen also had a life-saving grace for the emperor back then. Because Concubine Yuan Gui collaborated with the enemy, the emperor removed the dean’s nationality. Concubine Yuan Gui still felt at ease. If the subordinate officials refused to accept this punishment, they asked the emperor to treat her equally.”
“Please treat everyone equally, Your Majesty.”
with Prime Minister Gao and the others no longer defending themselves at this time, and in unison begged the emperor for severe punishment.
Emperor Beili was silent. He watched the courtiers arguing below him all morning, and only occasionally said a word or two. After learning that Dean Chen had left his country, he was silent.
The attitudes of all the officials were visibly unified, which made Emperor Beili even more vigilant.
Eunuch Li came up from behind and secretly handed a note to Emperor Beili.
Di Beili took it over and opened it, his face gloomy. Things had become so serious overnight.
