C327 I'll Check It Myself
The courtiers were shocked. The ambassador looked like he was watching a show. No one had expected Ye Xu to say something like that in a daze!
Shouldn't they wait for the banquet to end and then settle it privately!?
Some of the officials looked at Rui Fann with doubt. As the Great Sun's grandson, if Rui Fann really used his power to rob Ye Xu's people, it would be the misfortune of the country!
Rui Fann, who was watching Ye Xu's show, didn't expect that the fire would actually burn on his head!
He subconsciously panicked. He raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming's indifferent expression. His heart immediately calmed down!
Even if he imprisoned Yaoguang, so what? Ye Xu should never have exposed this matter in front of all the envoys. This was a disgrace to the Great Wu Country!
Rui Fann's mood had calmed down. He said coldly, "Ye Xu, you have empty words to say. Do you have evidence? Without evidence, it is slander!"
"Slandering?" Ye Xu smiled faintly, "You are just a loser, what is there to make me slander you!"
As soon as Ye Xu finished his words, the courtiers whispered to each other.
What did Ye Xu mean by that? A loser? Could it be that the great-grandson had secretly made a move against Ye Xu?!
So it wasn't a new grudge, there was an old grudge to begin with!
At that moment, everyone came to a realization. They were originally curious as to why Ye Xu would pick a fight with Rui Fann. It turned out that the two of them had a grudge a long time ago!
"Shut up! Ye Xu, even if you are a general personally conferred by His Majesty, you can't insult His Majesty like this!" Prime Minister Zuo stood up and said coldly.
He naturally knew everything about Rui Fann, so he did not want to recruit Ye Xu. He also did not want to forget that he had given Ye Xu many apologies.
However, Ye Xu didn't know what was good for him. Today, when all the envoys were present, he had insulted Rui Fann's reputation!
Rui Fann's followers immediately reacted and scolded him.
"Great Sun Xianming is outside, and he is a modest gentleman. How could he do something like robbing a commoner's daughter!"
"Ye Xu, you have insulted the Great Sun's reputation for no reason. Could it be that you are slandering the Great Sun because the Crown Prince is making things difficult for you? With such a despicable mind, how could you be the general of Great Wu Country?"
"He is just a civilian, and with just a single move, he became so arrogant. Indeed, he is not worthy to be mentioned in public!"
"Great Sun is devoted to the people. I can guarantee with my life that he will not do such a thing! You are an undisguised slander! "
Pointing at Ye Xu from all directions, Ye Xu was like a lone boat, swaying in the waves.
The messenger of Clean Water Country said with a smile, "Since General Ye said so, why don't you show us the evidence? Won't we know who is right and who is wrong?" He was a person who was not afraid to see the big picture.
"If General Ye is slandering His Highness Grandson, we will punish him immediately." The messenger from the Black Fortress quickly added. He did not want to get involved in the political struggle of the Great Wu Country's imperial family for no reason.
The other messengers all nodded.
Emperor Ming, who was sitting in a high position, looked indifferent. He said in a low voice, "Ye Xu, do you have any evidence?"
Ye Xu bowed and said, "If I enter the Crown Prince's Palace, I naturally have evidence to prove that I am telling the truth."
Rui Fann heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He immediately arranged for the secret guards to take Yaoguang somewhere else.
At that time, seeing that Ye Xu did not get the person, he would still dare to be arrogant!
Before Emperor Ming could say anything, the Crown Prince jumped up and said angrily, "What a good Ye Xu! You dare to make noise at the banquet without any evidence? Do you think that there is no one in Great Wu Dynasty?! ?"
All the officials looked over with dissatisfaction. They thought that there was evidence, but they didn't expect that the Crown Prince would dare to cause a disturbance without any evidence. He was really ignorant! Did Ye Xu think that Emperor Ming would "make the decision" for him?!
Rui Fann's eyes turned red. He looked like he had been wronged. "Grandfather, you should know what kind of character I have. I am the royal grandson. There are no women in the world who can't get my hands on Ye Xu's woman, so why would I steal his woman?"
He bowed to Ye Xu again and said sincerely, "General Ye, peace is the most important thing in the world. I know I accidentally offended you before, but I apologize as well. Please forgive me once!"
The officials were in an uproar.
Rui Fann Great Sun was the Emperor's proud grandson. He was very considerate and modest. How could he do anything to offend Ye Xu?
It must be that Ye Xu was arrogant and unbridled. After being taught a lesson, he wanted to take revenge and use a "woman" he didn't need to use as an excuse to make things difficult for the Great Sun!
A courtier angrily said, "The law immediately decrees that the prince will be humiliated for no reason, and he will be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison for twelve years!"
"This is not humiliation, but slander! Slandering the prince, his crime shall be punished!"
"You have a point. Even though General Ye has the title of General, the crime committed by the Great Wu Country's Son of Heaven is the same as the crime committed by the commoners. A great kindness is equal to a great kindness. Ye Xu will also die!"
The banquet was like a vegetable market. The crowd was stirred, and they wished they could kill Ye Xu right in front of them.
Ye Xu was acting cool. Now, the more these ministers cheered, the more painful it would be for him to slap their faces when he took out the "evidence."
However, they didn't expect Rui Fann to be surrounded by so many people. Apart from a few princes and princesses, almost half of the officials in the court had spoken up for Rui Fann.
This was because of the Han Family and Prime Minister Zuo.
At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo waved his hand. The officials immediately shut their mouths and the entire banquet quietened down.
The kindness in Prime Minister Zuo's eyes was gone, and it was filled with shrewdness and anger.
"His Majesty is wise. General Ye slandered Great Sun's reputation with empty words. This matter cannot be underestimated. If someone learns from him, then where is the dignity of the entire Imperial Family?! I beg His Majesty to punish Ye Xu severely!"
Prime Minister Zuo was really angry. He had wanted Rui Fann to befriend Ye Xu before, but he did not expect Ye Xu to be such a hothead!
His words set the tone. All the officials knelt on the ground, and their voices surged. "I beg His Majesty to punish Ye Xu severely!"
Emperor Ming raised his indifferent eyes, and his voice did not contain any emotion. "Permission granted! Imprisonment in the imperial prison immediately, I will interrogate him personally!"
Pairs of sympathetic and amused gazes looked over.
If not for Ye Xu seeking death and being a Reality Breaking Stage at such a young age, with a bright future, how could he have provoked the wrath of His Majesty and even wanted to interrogate him personally?
Everyone knew that young people were hot-blooded, but Ye Xu's anger had caused his own death!
When Ye Xu saw those sympathetic gazes, he immediately found it funny in his heart.
Now they sympathized with him. It was time for him to sympathize with them later.
The guard went forward to interrogate them. Ye Xu waved his hand and blew them away with a cool breeze.
Without waiting for the officials to question him, Ye Xu said in a clear voice, "Your majesty, you have not seen my evidence!"
Emperor Ming smiled coldly, like a harsh winter, "Do you want me to thoroughly investigate the Crown Prince's Palace and clear your name?!"
The Crown Prince was shocked and immediately jumped up. He pointed at Ye Xu's nose and said, "Ye Xu, who do you think you are? You also want to investigate my residence!?"
Although Prime Minister Zuo didn't like the Crown Prince's shameless face, he agreed with what he said.
Ye Xu was just a general who had recently been favoured. Even the military power was given to him by His Majesty. When he was favoured, he could still be considered a figure. After making His Majesty angry, he was nothing!
He was even worse than an ant!
Looking at the various courtiers with different expressions, Ye Xu smiled helplessly. "Then there's no other way. I can only ask my people to investigate thoroughly."1
