Chapter 304 The Pawn’s Sorrow

"A mere first-rank seal master, Li Chong, you are too rampant. It is a virtue for young people to respect their elders." Li Chong's behavior aroused the disgust of most ministers. A minister closest to Yun Aotian criticized him.

"My lord, thank you for your advice to the boy, but respect depends on people. Sometimes those seniors who are hypocritical on the surface but insidious and evil behind their backs have no reason to respect us. If you are old and experienced, you can instruct the younger generation. Wouldn't Dayun Chao lose his youthful vitality? All towns only need to choose the oldest who is unable to even think about it as the city lord;" Li Chong replied respectfully.

"Boy is crazy, this is not a place where you speak loudly."

"Your Majesty, this kid is simply here to disrupt the court. My ministers think he should be expelled as soon as possible."

"No, he should be punished for his roaring court."

"No wonder Ji Lingcheng, who was peaceful under Prince Yong's rule, had such a major incident when he took office."

Li Chong's arrogant aura made the whole court boil, and there were endless scolding.

Li Chong had a very strong sense of perception. He knew at the first time that these cursing people were all coming from a fixed tree. Obviously, these were either Prince Yong's subordinates or representatives of the Huang family.

Li Chong smiled indifferently. He was most afraid of those who were familiar with the surface but secretly used the means to clarify his enemies, so that he could be better prepared.

Although Li Chong, who is standing under the tree, could not see his appearance, but Li Chong's voice was deeply remembered in his heart.

"The first time in the Li Qing family, the Dayun Dynasty has been attacking a town in the first time in decades, and Ji Ling City is your territory. Do you know that it is guilty?" At this moment, Yun Aotian suddenly spoke, a cold voice sounded, and the whole court suddenly became silent.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the crime is," Li Chong seemed to be used to being arrogant. He even contradicted Yun Aotian's words unconsciously.

"Bold!" Yun Aotian frowned, and Prince Yong even scolded loudly: "More than 10,000 people attacked Ji Ling City. Although it did not capture it, it aroused public anger. Your Majesty has always loved the people. You have not pleaded guilty like this?"

"Prince," Li Chong raised his hand and slowly turned around, without any respect on his face. He said disdainfully: "More than 10,000 people attacked Ji Lingcheng, don't know if there is any evidence?"

"You are simply unreasonable. More than 10,000 people attacked Ji Ling City for seven days. The entire Dayun Dynasty has caused a sensation. No one knows the ministers in the court." Prince Yong sneered and retorted.

"So I wonder how you all know that the ordinary people attacking Ji Ling City are the ordinary people?" Li Chong immediately asked back.

Suddenly, everyone and ministers fell silent. Li Chong's words pointed out the key to the matter. They didn't know the mobilization of the city-protected troops in more than a dozen towns around them. They knew it even more clearly that Prince Yong wanted to get rid of Li Chong as soon as possible. Except for Prince Yong and the people of the Huang family, other ministers did not want to get into this muddy water at all, and they were eager to get into trouble.

"I happened to pass by and saw everything about it. This should be enough!" Prince Yong said in a deep voice.

"Of course the people in the prince's mansion can trust, but one-sided words are inevitably biased. I believe that this is inevitable!"

"Your Majesty, my family has passed by, so my subordinates know this."

"Your Majesty, so are the ministers."

Prince Yong had already contacted everything, and some ministers immediately came forward to testify.

Anyone knows that this is a false accusation, but Li Chong asked them to call out these slaves at this time. Prince Yong and others were probably ready long ago. Everything is complete, and even if they know that it is a false accusation, if no other evidence is found, Li Chong's charge will be established.

"It's really a coincidence that I sent my family to Jiling City at the same time. I wonder if I was discussing important matters? Jiling City is close to Dongli Kingdom. What's the matter if you send me a trustworthy family gathering at the same time? Official affairs? Why don't I, the lord and the city lord know? Private affairs? Why don't Jiling City have detailed records of why people from Kyoto?" Li Chong had already known before coming to come. Seeing that Prince Yong and others were about to call out their family to testify. With such iron evidence and the guarantees of Prince Yong and others, Yun Aotian might not be able to deal with it. In order to avoid falling into a dead end, Li Chong immediately diverted his attention.

Collusion with foreign countries is an extremely taboo thing for any country, especially some ministers in the court, and Ji Lingcheng's sensitive geographical location. Although he knew that Li Chong was just imagining it out of thin air, Prince Yong and others were also talking nonsense, with the goal of curbing Li Chong to death, Li Chong said it, but completely covered up the blame just now.

"Li Chong, don't speak nonsense in the court." The crime of rebellion is a great crime. Prince Yong and others wanted to kill Li Chong, but they had to defend themselves first. Yun Aotian felt unhappy.

"Prince, I have asked my subordinates before I came down. Even the guards of the Thousand City Cities can testify for you. Are these witnesses enough?" Li Chong sneered, not giving Prince Yong any steps at all.

If you use your family to frame me, I will use my city guard to frame you. Li Chong will not compromise at all. He will face tit for anything and will never give in.

"Your Majesty, I just sent my monks to investigate the governance of Lord Li Chong. After all, Ji Ling City belongs to my territory and is a major border town. If there is chaos, wouldn't it make Dongli laugh at our country for being useless?" Prince Yong was cunning and turned his eyes and thought of a way to explain.

Other ministers followed suit and expressed their purpose of sending monks.

"If you follow what you guys said, then I say that more than 10,000 people attack Ji Ling City is just an exercise with my Ji Ling City. After all, Ji Ling City is a major border town. If the soldiers guarding the city do not have strong combat power and cannot protect Ji Ling City, these people will also be worried. I wonder if everyone agrees with this statement?" Li Chong curled his lips disdainfully and said.

Since Li Chong entered Tianhe Palace, Yun Aotian has been watching his performance, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he was just a person watching the show.
