C779 The Officials Advised

For a moment, this incident had caused a huge uproar in Xiyue Country. The civilians were all enveloped in a kind of panic as if a war was about to break out.

When the panic in people's hearts was magnified infinitely, it would also magnify the selfishness and narrowness in human nature.

Faced with such a situation, whether it was the civilians or the entire hall of civil and military officials, they blamed this incident on Nangong Feng.

As one of the Four Young Masters in the world over the years, Nangong Feng was naturally crowned with supreme glory and a perfect image by the world.

Now, the person they admired was actually such a despicable person who used unscrupulous means to look down on human lives.

The sense of superiority in people's hearts would burst forth, and they would naturally place themselves on the moral high ground to criticize the people they admired.

Especially those who envied and hated Nangong Feng, they were even more elated.

It was as if they had caught onto something important about Nangong Feng, and they instantly made him an extremely evil and despicable person.

At this moment, in the Imperial Court of Xiyue Country.

All the civil and military officials were filled with grief and indignation.

One of them was a scholarly and upright person, one could tell at a glance that he was an old and stubborn person who would not change his ways of eating. He stood in the middle of the hall and said with righteous indignation, "Your majesty, whether it is the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty or the people of the country, they are all discussing this matter.

Especially when they found out about the border of the Linfeng Country's army, the civilians were even more agitated. If this continues, it might cause a riot! Therefore, this old official begged His Majesty to take care of Crown Prince's matter impartially. Give the world an explanation."

Hearing this, a trace of anger rose in Emperor Xiyue's heart, but his face remained unchanged.

His voice was indifferent as he asked, "Then what kind of explanation does Old Chen want Zhen to give?"

The person called Old Chen heard Emperor Xiyue asking for his opinion.

He immediately used his seniority to stroke his beard and said rather righteously, "If this matter is not resolved properly, there will be soldiers eyeing us at the border. There will also be riots in the country. If that is the case, our Xiyue Country will really be in danger!

Therefore, this old official hopes that His Majesty can deal with Crown Prince. For the time being, the resentment of the civilians will temporarily quell the anger of the Linfeng Country. "

These words were very lively. They did not specify what kind of punishment they wanted to deal with Nangong Feng. Instead, they explained all the disadvantages to Emperor Xiyue in detail.

It was very serious, as if the country would collapse and the family would be destroyed tomorrow. It was as if the family would be separated from the family.

In this way, if Emperor Xiyue did not punish Nangong Feng, it would cause the public to be angry. If Nangong Feng was punished, it would not be light.

Otherwise, how could he convince the public?

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Xiyue coldly smiled. His tone was filled with sarcasm. His gaze was like a sharp sword as it shot toward Old Chen.

"Old Chen, why do I feel like you have already confirmed the Crown Prince's crime? Could it be that this rumor alone is enough to erase all the hard work that the Crown Prince has put in for the country and the people for so many years? Isn't this too arbitrary?"

Emperor Xiyue was also a disciple of Skysnow Mountain. The pressure surrounding him was something that they could bear.

Cold sweat immediately formed on Elder Chen's forehead. His lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

Instead, he said with a trembling voice, "This old official... this old official... dare not!"

"Hmph! Do not dare? Zhen sees that your courage is not ordinary? You actually dare to use the rumors in the market to make Zhen punish the Crown Prince? You simply do not know what is the meaning of it!

Zhen will tell you, don't say that this matter has no proof. Even if he did it for the sake of the Xiyue Country's future, Zhen will definitely not punish him!"
