The reports of several officials made all the officials in the hall talk one after another.


    The emperor was silent, only tired in his eyes.


    As for the contents of their report, he had asked Wei Xingchao, the factory Lord, and Yang Shiqi, the Prime Minister of the left, to send them to the imperial study for his detailed reference whenever there were new developments. He was following up almost every step of the case. I haven''t slept for days because of my son.


    Li Jianbi''s heinous mistake was not only to ruin his own life, but also to bring disaster to the country and the people. He just wanted to find out the reason why Li Jianbi went astray. Who wants to conduct a thorough investigation, only in exchange for numerous crimes, which is beyond imagination.


    Not to mention that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. He was only the second son of the emperor. Although the crown prince was deliberately pressed down by him in recent years, there were fierce waves and dangerous waves inside. He himself was also a person from the past and understood in his heart. Those who once stood on the opposite side of Li Jianbi''s faction did not say that they fell into the well. In order to draw a clear line, those who used to stand on Li Jianbi''s side chased Li Jianbi. Li Jianbi''s old accounts have been turned upside down, and these people are the most active.


    People from all walks of life even wrote thick evidence of his small things, which piled up in his imperial study, making him unable to breathe a little for the pain of losing his son.


    "Who else wants to report?"


    The emperor recovered from Aizi''s naughty smiling face when he was a child and asked in a deep voice.


    "Report it to the emperor." the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment listed again and knelt down to the ground to play, "the crimes of King Wu are countless, but a week has passed, and so far there has been no explanation to the people, and there are now public grievances everywhere..."


    The emperor glanced at Yang Shiqi. Although Yang Shiqi was quite old, he knew very well about the situation up and down. The emperor still had to ask him what he needed to know. He even visited Yang Shiqi''s residence late at night for national affairs and stayed up all night talking about things in the prime minister''s house. It can be seen how much the emperor still attaches importance to this old minister. Of course, it has become one of the classic stories of the corrupt girl Xiaohuang book in Emei sect. It''s ominous here.


    Yang Shiqi was slightly proud of the emperor and said that the case had already spread all over the Central Plains and had a great impact. After all, the tea chamber of commerce is a world event. It is shocking that King Wu turned the tea chamber of commerce into a purgatory on earth. If he has not given a result, the prestige of the imperial court will inevitably decline greatly.


    From the perspective of the imperial court, if the tragedy of the tea chamber of Commerce will always happen, Yang Shiqi hopes that Li Jianbi''s plot will succeed and will not be broken. In this way, the people think it is a mountain bandit disaster, and their resentment will not force the current regime or shake the prestige accumulated by the court for many years.


    "The case has been brought to light. I will now order Prime Minister Yang Shiqi to write a letter to recover Li Jianbi''s throne and Sue the world to comfort the people!" the emperor made a decision. His son always has to deal with the aftermath. Who makes this country belong to his family.


    "Emperor, Li Jianbi''s crimes are heinous. It''s not enough for civilians to take back the throne!"


    Suddenly, three old men with white hair and white beard, who looked much older than Yang Shiqi, stood up and helped each other to kneel down. They were frightened. They were afraid that they would never get up again after they accidentally knelt down.


    "Yang Taifu, Zhou Da and Wang Taibao! Why do the three kneel? It has already been announced that the three are old and don''t need to kneel before the temple! Please get up quickly!"


    These three ancestors are the first of the three princes. They are either the emperor''s teacher or the Minister of the auxiliary state when the emperor was just the emperor. Even if they retire after they become famous, they have no formal official position now, only virtual positions such as bachelor''s degree, and their status is no worse than Yang Shiqi.


    The emperor quickly raised his hand and motioned the three to get up.


    Knowing that the emperor was flustered, Li Mengyao and Wei Xingchao hurriedly went up to help the three elders.


    Who would have thought that the three ancestors were too iron to get up. When they saw Wei Xingchao coming, they shouted, "get away! It''s a state matter for us to kneel down. How dare a mere eunuch do anything!"


    Scolded Wei Xingchao angrily back, and if he didn''t back, he must suffer an old phlegm paste his face.


    Li Mengyao received unusual treatment. The emperor''s favorite daughter is well known all over the world. He even asked Yang Taifu to be Li Mengyao''s teacher. Several elders also watched Li Mengyao grow up from childhood. They hurt her as much as their granddaughter. They all patted Li Mengyao''s hand and told her to go away. Today''s national disaster is current, they can''t get up until it is solved.


    "What do you want, you may as well say it face to face!" the emperor sighed and asked Li Mengyao to step back. These three old ministers who are dedicated to the country are stubborn. It''s hard for anyone to help if they don''t want to get up.


    "Li Jianbi is stubborn. Now he finally makes a big mistake! If he just withdraws his throne and the punishment is too light, how can he convince the public!"


    "You three mean..."


    "Parade in the street, whip before the market, three days and three nights, before the common people can complain!"


    The emperor''s eyes widened when he heard the speech. Although he was angry, he also knew that this moment would always come! His beloved son''s mistake is too big to be fooled!


    "You three, Yu Li, bi''er deserves to parade in the street and whip for seven days and nights; Yu Qing, he is one of my only two sons. Now my two sons are fighting, one dead and one injured, and the living one is still waiting to fall in Dali temple. You should understand the deep responsibility I love when you all watch bi''er grow up, but I am both the king of a country and a father, Bi My son has been killed in a disorderly place and deserves his punishment. You still need to take his body to the streets for public display and be whipped? How can I explain to the returning empress dowager and queen when the tide and flood at the foot of Lianhua Mountain recede! Tell them that their beloved grandchildren are not only dead, but also taken by me to the market and fed to eagles and wild dogs! Do you understand the pain of flesh and blood? I am very sad Isn''t it enough to punish everything that should be punished? "


    In the face of the former teachers, the emperor finally couldn''t help but take off the differences between monarchs and ministers, and roared and complained to the close teachers like a disciple who failed in the exam.


    Hearing the speech, Li Mengyao bit her lower lip and bowed her head to tears.


    She hated Li Jianbi very much, but she didn''t want to see the emperor hurt his lungs for this black sheep. After all, blood is thicker than water, and the emperor can''t leave any love.


    The three old men were all moved and choked, but they didn''t give in.


    They raised their trembling hands, took off their crowns, put them on the ground, bowed their heads and said loudly: "as the crown prince, Taifu or elders, we should have set an example and preached by example, but now we let Li Jianbi go astray and don''t know it. We should share the sin! The sinners are willing to walk the streets with Li Jianbi and complain to the common people!"


    At the forefront of all officials, more than 30 other old ministers representing the meritorious deeds of the three dynasties knelt down together, took off their crowns and fell to the ground: "our sinful ministers are willing to parade in the streets with Li Jianbi and complain to the common people!"


    These old guys have already removed their positions early, leaving only empty positions. But even if their real power is gone, they are still a terrible strength in the imperial court.


    Seeing this group of old friends working hard, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment had long been frightened to withdraw into the queue. All civil and military officials bowed their heads and had no share in their words.


    Among the civil and military officials in the hall, which teacher or teacher without a teacher is kneeling in front? No matter how high you are, people used to bring you out! Even if these old guys come over and poke you in the nose and scold, you don''t dare to say anything back! Not to mention the traditional virtue of respecting teachers and respecting morality limits your attitude towards these old guys. Even if you look at it realistically, most of their descendants hold important power in the imperial court. They have deep roots and complex forces, which is enough for you to bow your head and dodge.


    Of course, the emperor understood that if they did so, they would surely blame the common people, and they were forcing him not to give him a way back. But as a father, I really don''t want to see his son''s body parade in the street, accept the insult and saliva of the people, and then whip it into a ball of broken meat. He is also a wise gentleman. He doesn''t want to see the meritorious old ministers of the imperial court lose their reputation for their son''s mistakes.


    At this time, I just feel that the Dragon chair is not a dragon chair, but a hot iron plate, which is difficult to endure. I don''t know why so many people want to compete for this big ass seat and sit on the throne. In addition to prosperity, there is also the burden of a country. This position is not so easy to sit.


    Most of the old men in the rank of Sangong are literary ministers who are old-fashioned. They become more stubborn when they get old. They can''t afford to kneel down like this. The emperor can''t help it. Besides, people are concerned about the imperial court. They can''t cut them all, can they? This is similar to directly dismissing the imperial court.


    When the emperor was at a loss and almost made this painful decision, Wei Xingchao stepped out of the line and quickly reported: "emperor, I heard that the body of King Wu was scarred when it was found..."


    When he came out at the critical moment, he interrupted. Wei Xingchao was very guilty. Before he finished, he immediately returned to the queue, bowed his head and half dared not look at the sight of the three old ministers.


    The emperor is a wise man. He knows what Wei Xingchao means as soon as he hears it. He is pleased that Wei Xingchao is worthy of his confidant!


    "Gong Weisi, who brought the corpse back from the scene!" the emperor patted the handrail heavily and shouted quickly.
