Master Hu said: "I dare not speculate about the prince at will. After hearing the news, I specially sent people to these places to investigate. After the investigation, there was no difference. Moreover, I have ordered people to seize the land of several cities in the border area. Officials and some common people have brought them here, if His Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send them to the palace to ask."
The Eternal Emperor is about to announce people to the palace to confront each other.
Those city officials all came from remote areas and had never seen the emperor before. When they saw it now, they all knelt on the ground in awe and fear, and the commoners even knelt behind him, shaking their bodies.
"Meet Your Majesty."
"Look up, let me ask you, Prince Lingyan, how was he doing when he went to your city to relieve the disaster?" the Eternal Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"this… "
"Your Majesty, how can you hesitate when you ask a question, you just need to speak bluntly, if you dare to tell half a lie, you will be dragged out and killed immediately!" The second princess said coldly.
Those people immediately trembled with fright, and opened their mouths tremblingly.
"Three emperors... the prince did his best when I was waiting for him, and there was never any difference..."
"Yes, yes, the prince does everything himself, and loves the people like a son."
Several city officials kept talking and praised Lingyan's achievements vigorously.
The eternal emperor's face softened a little, but at this moment, the people kneeling behind those city officials suddenly turned pale, and raised their heads and said: "Your Majesty! Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
The sudden change caused the ministers who had just begun to suspect that Mr. Hu's investigation was wrong to be slightly taken aback.
The eternal emperor frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, when I was waiting in the frontier, I never saw the appearance of the prince. The prince has never been to our place, and...we have never received any disaster relief..."
"Your Majesty, my two sons and daughters starved to death during the natural disaster. Caomin heard that the court sent the third prince to come to relieve the disaster, but... Caomin didn't see any food at all, only... only some moldy rice... "
"Your Majesty, the grassroots have a low life, but the grassroots have to say today that the crown prince lied to you, he lied to the world..."
Those common people, in public, exposed the high-sounding cover of those city officials, accusing Lingyan of lies at the top of their lungs.
All of a sudden, there were voices of discussion in the court hall.
The eldest prince looked at the situation in front of him, but there was a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes passed Ye Qingtang's place without a trace.
He originally planned to let the officials and the people keep talking and discredit Lingyan's achievements, but before leaving, Ye Qingtang suddenly changed his words and asked him to completely change the words of the city officials.
Originally, the eldest prince was still a little worried about whether this was appropriate.
But now, seeing such an effect with his own eyes, the eldest prince admires Ye Qingtang's intelligence and wisdom.
If everyone accuses Lingyan of being unfavorable in disaster relief, it will make people doubt the intention of blaming the blame, but now, the city officials' maintenance, it seems that Lingyan secretly bought these city officials, and on the contrary, it makes the words of the poor and white people appear It is more believable, and it also discredits Lingyan's character even more.
After all, no one would have thought that ordinary people would slander the current prince for no reason.
This trick is really powerful.
And after the people spoke, the faces of the city officials froze immediately, and they trembled more and more. This kind of reaction did not need to ask more questions, and they had already seen their guilty conscience.
You can tell who is true and who is false.
