Chapter 268 (1/2)

If Han Zhan has been convicted of this matter, it will certainly affect the reputation of the prince. Naturally, the prince's sacrifice instead of the son of heaven will also be changed.

The Xiao emperor only smiled: ”Aiqing is more and more dedicated now!”

Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of rites, should not have heard the meaning of emperor Xiao's words. He bowed his hand and said respectfully, ”it is the duty of a minister to eat your salary and solve your Majesty's problems and fulfill his duties.”

The Xiao emperor snorted coldly: ”in Aiqing's opinion, if it is really the same as Aiqing said at this time, who should be sent to replace the prince to offer sacrifices at that time?”

At this point, there was silence in the court.

Chu Zhang affirmed that no matter the Minister of rites said the name of any prince, the prince must suffer.

Fortunately, Zhang Tingyu is quite clever: ”this is not the duty of the minister. The minister dare not talk nonsense. Moreover, the minister believes that his majesty will make a decision.”

The Xiao emperor closed his eyes gently and knocked slowly on the Dragon chair. For a long time, he suddenly shouted, ”Zhao Decong, the Qing of Dali temple, can be there.”

”I'm here.”

”I'll submit this case to you for examination. I'm sure to find out.”

”I will comply.”

”Your Majesty, this is against the rules.” the Chen family immediately objected, ”Han Zhan, he violated military discipline. How can he be examined by Dali temple? It should -”

”Pa -” a sound of broken tea cups interrupted the Chen family.

No one expected that his Majesty would suddenly become powerful and suddenly keep silent.

”One by one, my words are against the rules. Why didn't I be positive when I wanted to use you for courtesy? Now I've been fighting for my life in this matter. After all, I'm not old or confused! What's in your stomach? I really think I don't know?”

Seeing his Majesty's anger, they were too frightened to speak.

”Once again, this matter will be investigated by Dali temple. Whoever dares to say more, whoever you are, will be dismissed to me and go back to my hometown!”
