Quick Wear: This is my wife

Chapter 429 Prince VS Little Brother 29

"Da Yong ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, emphasizing the love of mothers and the filial piety of children. Now, these parents are not kind, but the prince keeps speaking well of the Marquisate in front of me.

Since the Marquis' Mansion doesn't consider Prince Wang his own son, then let's break off this marriage." Fu Nanzhan had his own plans. He knew that if he only seized on the fact that he had deceived the emperor, the censors would not easily agree to confiscate the family property and exterminate the clan.

It would be better to take the opportunity to sever Xiao Yubai's relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, so as to maximize the benefits.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is absolutely not possible! How can children sever ties with their parents?" Upon hearing this, the censors immediately stood up to object. They adhered to traditional ethics and morals, believing that severing ties between children and parents was against the laws of nature and human ethics.

"That's right. As long as the prince is still the child of the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion is despising the imperial power and bullying the emperor. So let's exterminate the three clans first." Fu Nanzhan supported his chin with his hand, his tone light and airy.

It seemed as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but the coldness in his eyes made people dare not look directly at him.

Marquis Yong'an was kneeling in the hall at this time, feeling as if he was being roasted on a fire, hanging by a thread between life and death.

His mind raced, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He shouted, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! This regent prince was found a month before Your Majesty issued the decree. He is the third son of the Marquisate! My wife and I adopted the fourth son, and since he is registered as a legitimate son, I have never lied to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, what Marquis Yong'an said makes sense!" Several ministers immediately agreed, taking advantage of the situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"What? If all the ministers of Dayong take advantage of loopholes to question His Majesty in the future, how about giving the throne to you?" Fu Nanzhan slammed the armrest of the chair and shouted angrily.

The ministers who had just agreed turned pale with fear and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty is terrified."

"Are you panicking? I think you are going to force the emperor to abdicate! Come on, take down these traitors." Fu Nanzhan knew what was going on. He was just pretending to scare these ministers, and of course he would not really kill them. Otherwise, everyone in the court would be in danger, and this was not the result he wanted.

The Imperial Guards rushed into the hall upon hearing the order, and for a moment, the court was in chaos.

The ministers then truly felt that the regent's reputation for decisiveness and ruthlessness was well-deserved. The rumors of a bloodbath in the imperial city during the fight for the throne still made people shudder.

Those ministers who had just agreed felt that their lives were in danger and were trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, I believe what the Regent said is reasonable. Since the Yong'an Marquisate has been treating the Regent badly, it would be better to sever the relationship.

The relationship was broken, so there was no longer any talk of a replacement marriage or contempt for imperial authority. Furthermore, the former Imperial Master had already been executed, so the matter could be put to rest.

Since the adopted son of the Yong'an Marquisate is registered under the wife's name, he is also considered a legitimate son. "After careful consideration, the Grand Tutor stepped forward and put forward his own suggestion.

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the court nodded in agreement. They all believed that this method could not only solve the current crisis, but also maintain the face and stability of the court.

"Then let's do as the Grand Tutor says. From now on, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion will have no connection with the Regent Prince. The Yong'an Marquis bribed the former Imperial Master, so he will be fined six months' salary and will be forced to reflect on his mistakes for one month. Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?" Seeing that the time was ripe, Fu Runze went with the flow and made the final decision.

The regent's drastic measures just now have frightened everyone. Who would dare to object at this time?

"I am no different from you."

"Dismiss the court!" With Fu Runze's order, this thrilling court battle finally came to an end. However, the undercurrents beneath the court did not cease...

After the court meeting, the ministers filed out one after another, each with a different expression.

They returned to their respective yamen residences in a hurry, feeling uneasy.

As soon as they sat down, before they could even catch their breath, they hurriedly called over their personal servants and solemnly instructed them, "Return home immediately and inform your families that you must keep your distance from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and not have any further contact with it."

The disturbance in the hall was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples to spread out. Everyone knew that the situation in the court was turbulent and complicated, and that the close relationship with the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion might bring about unnecessary disasters.

At the same time, there were quiet movements in the palace.

An exquisite letter was sent from the vermilion palace wall and directly arrived at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

This post is like a talisman of fate. As for whether the people in the Marquis' Mansion can step into the majestic palace gate and participate in palace affairs, it all depends on their own luck.

After all, in this ever-changing palace struggle, one could end up in an irretrievable situation if one is not careful.

Speaking of the flower-viewing banquet in the palace, it should have followed the old custom and been held on a day when ministers were on leave, so that everyone could prepare calmly and share the fun.

However, Fu Runze and Regent Fu Nanzhan had other plans.

They deliberately chose today to catch the ministers off guard and disrupt their plans.

This seemingly ordinary flower-viewing banquet actually hides a mystery. A battle without the smoke of gunpowder has quietly begun behind the colorful flowers.
