Chapter 352 The Emperor's Routine
Xie Xunfeng knew that it was not Guan Chong’s fault.
After all, when Old Prince Guan started scolding people, he even scolded himself... He was really cruel...
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Guan Chong smiled awkwardly, shrank his neck and said, "Hehe... I didn't notice... I didn't notice... But, His Majesty knows my temper and won't embarrass me..."
Seeing Guan Chong say this, Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "You should be careful with your words... Do you know what it means to be with the emperor? It's like being with a tiger... You should have some sense of propriety... Your Majesty is giving you face now, but it's all for your father's sake, you know?"
Guan Chong looked at Xie Xunfeng who suddenly became so serious, smiled awkwardly, and then said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother... I get it... I was just joking..."
The reason why Xie Xunfeng was so serious was because of what happened.
He discovered that the emperor of Daxia was very deep.
I thought they all saw through this emperor.
However, in fact, no one saw through this emperor.
Including Xie Xunfeng himself, he previously thought that he saw through this emperor.
However, judging from the current situation, Xie Xunfeng was too naive...
After thinking about this, he still hoped that Guan Chong could maintain some awe.
Because he offended the emperor.
You never know when the emperor will take the opportunity to kill you.
This emperor is very good at taking advantage of the situation...
As they were talking, a group of people walked in.
After walking into the main hall, he announced that he would start court.
The emperor entered and sat down.
He glanced at everyone and finally set his sights on Gao Zhongbo.
"Prince Gao, you're here... I didn't expect it... I thought you were hiding in your territory and didn't dare to come out..."
After hearing what the emperor said, Gao Zhongbo came out with his hands clasped.
"Your Majesty, I, Gao Zhongbo, have come to see you. I have disgraced your Majesty's mission... I have been cleaning up the territory before... and now I have brought my family to Longyang City... Your Majesty, please punish me..."
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, the emperor smiled faintly and then said, "Punishment? It is because of you princes that we, Daxia, have lost face..."
Gao Zhongbo naturally knew what the emperor wanted. He was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please reduce the power of the vassal kings... From this incident, we can see that we, the vassal kings, are arrogant... If Your Majesty had not been too pampered to us, this would not have happened... So, the reason is that the vassal kings are to blame..."
"We, the princes, have occupied the fertile fields and rich cities of Daxia, but we have never contributed a single cent to Daxia... We really deserve to die..."
Gao Zhongbo became more and more excited as he spoke...
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, the emperor said to him, "Old Prince Gao... although you have made mistakes, you should not devalue yourselves to the point of being worthless... you still have good points... reducing the power of the vassal states... is not appropriate..."
Gao Zhongbo said to the emperor, "Everything is due to your Majesty's mercy...Now these vassal kings are indeed more harmful than beneficial, like a sore growing on Daxia. If your Majesty can remove this sore, Daxia can also achieve better development...If this sore is not cured, then the disaster of these vassal kings will probably repeat the same mistakes..."
After hearing this, the emperor looked embarrassed.
"That being said, the princes were established by the previous emperor, who also said that unless there was rebellion or treason, the princes would not be reduced... So... it's not appropriate... it's not appropriate..." After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, the emperor still evaded the question...
Xie Xunfeng was watching from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This routine has been used from ancient times to the present .
The emperor likes to use it...
