Reece nodded deeply as well.
Just as the courtiers were having their own thoughts, a proclamation rang out and
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
Soon Zhao Lang side walked out, and after both sides saluted, Zhao Lang sat down on his seat.
Looking at the courtroom below where the atmosphere was clearly different from the previous days, he however revealed a smile.
He had certainly heard the rumours in Xianyang City.
Without much thought, it must have been spread by Lu Qian.
And the way the other party did it was simple, just passing small notes.
Those little rumours always spread faster than anything else.
Printing with movable type and papermaking were now no secret to these noble ministers, and after Great Qin collected royalties, these people could use them if they wanted to.
It was the only way to spread books quickly.
He initially wanted to stop the other party, but on second thought, this was not a bad thing.
His own reputation was still too benign in some ways.
There was certainly nothing wrong with being like this with the people.
But among the nobles, not so much.
After all, unlike Pops, he had unshakable authority among the nobles.
Besides in his position it was good to have some notoriety.
“Do you all have anything to discuss today. ”
Zhao Lang asked bashfully as usual.
But the ministers were obviously much more restrained, and only Li Si painlessly brought up a few things that
Afterwards, the courtroom fell into another moment of silence.
Zhao Lang was not in a hurry, and was thinking that this would be the end of the day, when suddenly, an attendant walked into the courtroom and reported that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, Confucian Kongjia has signed up outside to seek an audience.”
Zhao Lang froze slightly for a moment and
What was the teacher doing here? The other side’s mercy was only given to the common people of Great Qin.
To the foreigners and the nobles like them, the other side was ruthless.
“But this act of taking people’s scalps is too cruel, comparable to cannon branding…”
“What are you babbling about! Do you want to be exterminated!?”
At this time, a minister hurriedly interrupted the other party, because these words were simply calling Zhao Lang a tyrant and a dead king.
If he really wanted to finish, razing three clans was possible!
As expected, the others also instantly realised this, and one by one, they all shut their mouths.
In today’s courtroom, the old nobles had all been taken out of power, and no one dared to collide head on with Zhao Lang anymore.
One by one, they were only able to look upwards towards the ones who stood at the front, Meng Ten, Li Si, Chen Ping and a few others.
These were the people who could talk to His Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, Chen Ping was extremely calm, he did not believe that Zhao Lang would say such words, the other party is not this kind of person.
Li Si hesitated for a while at this time, before he said to Meng Tian.
“Marquis Zhongxin, nowadays how… how should this matter be counselled? ”
He didn’t have the courage to face Zhao Lang head on even now.
Hearing this, Meng Tian also couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh… the imperial court sometimes can’t work without those old ministers…
There has to be someone who wants to talk.
Now that Wang Jian and the others have quit, he can only stand up and speak for himself.
“This matter is also just a rumour, we still need to find out. ”
Regardless of whether or not this was said by the other party, it could not be formally brought up in the courtroom anyway, the
Waiting for the political discussion before seeking an audience in private is just that.
Li Si also thought deeply and nodded. What is the teacher doing here?
And it’s still so formal to sign up for an audience.
So he hastened to say.
“Quickly invite the teacher in.”
The attendant at once led the way, and in a short time there was a sound from outside that
“Kong A begs to see His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin! Kong A begs to see His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin! ”
With a loud enrollment, Kong A appeared in the supremacy of the courtroom.
Zhao Lang stood up at this time and asked.
“Teacher, what brings you here? But what is so important. ”
This teacher of his had always been reasonable and defensive.
To meet in this way, there must be something very urgent.
But who knew that Kong A did not answer positively when he heard the question, but said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have recently heard a rumour that His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin enjoys scalping!”
“Simply appalling!”
“That’s why I’ve specially come to ask if this is true?”
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Lang extremely seriously.
Being given such a look by his teacher, Zhao Lang inevitably blushed slightly with his old face and quickly said.
“This. Of course there is no such thing!”
He didn’t have the guts to admit it, or else he’d get beaten up in the court, where the hell would he go to make sense of it?
Hearing this, Kong A’s eyes lit up, nodded fiercely and said.
“I told you that you are a good person, you wouldn’t say such a thing!”
Then he turned around and said loudly to everyone that
“His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin is benevolent, yet he was subjected to a rumour, I, Confucianism, will not let this matter go easily!”
“Killing and skinning, this is something that only animals can do, the tyrant Shang Zhou is no better!”
“If anyone dares to do this, the Hundred Schools of Thought will not agree!” “If anyone dares to act like this, the Hundred Schools of Thought won’t agree either!”
Looking at his teacher’s righteous indignation, Zhao Lang only felt his face heat up.
Only after the other party had finished speaking was Zhao Lang ready to speak, but he saw his teacher saluting at this time and saying.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, Confucian student Kong A has been rude in the courtroom and has acted without discipline, please chastise him!”
Zhao Lang where going to punish the other party, but at this time, Kong A said with extreme firmness.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, if not, it’s not enough to convince the people!”
And said to Li Si, who was dumbfounded at the side.
“Li Si! As a man of law, you have yet to enforce the Qin law!”
Li Si gritted his teeth, knowing that the other party was asking for it, and said that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Confucian scholar Kong Jia should indeed be punished!”
Zhao Lang revealed a bitter smile at this time, knowing that the other party’s mind was made up today, so he said.
“Then imprison the teacher within the palace. ”
This was something he still needed to make clear with the other party.
After saying that, he asked the slave to invite the other party inside the palace.
The ministers, however, all knew that with Confucianism’s Kongjia stepping in, this rumour would definitely not spread too far.
Meng Ten and Li Si looked at each other and followed towards the palace.
By this time, Zhao Lang had already brought the empty frame inside his palace…
After entering the palace, Zhao Lang said with a few bitter smiles that
“Teacher, why are you so bitter? It’s true that this word has spread out from me, but you can rest assured that I didn’t do such a thing, it’s just that I once heard that there were some robbers who occupied other people’s homes and killed their entire clans, and in the end, they even pretended to be repentant and shed tears. ”
Hearing this, Kongjia Du couldn’t help but show a surprised expression and said.
“There is actually such a shameless clan in the world?”
