Chapter 950
"The Jinyiwei's jurisdiction is limited to the southern border. The southern border is my fiefdom, so why can't I set up the Jinyiwei?"
"As for the people killed by the Jinyiwei, you said they were civilians. Then let me ask you, why did so many civilians appear in the prefectural government office?"
Qin Yu asked the emperor!
"This... His Royal Highness is right. The Southern Territory is His Royal Highness's fiefdom. It is reasonable for His Royal Highness to establish an Imperial Guard!"
"If they are ordinary people, there is no way they would appear in the prefectural government office, let alone thousands of them. There must be something fishy going on!"
"It seems there is something else hidden in this matter!"
The scholars spoke one after another.
The expression of the retired emperor changed instantly. He thought that Qin Yu would never be able to refute his questioning. Who would have thought that Qin Yu could find a reason to refute it!
Moreover, this reason convinced everyone present!
"Grandpa Emperor! The Crown Prince is such a silver-tongued man! We can't win over him, so why not just forget it!"
Shangguan Wan'er said with a worried look on her face.
The Emperor was furious at this moment and said in a cold voice, "Humph! This matter cannot be let go like this. I will never let this rebellious grandson continue to go unpunished!"
Then, he looked at Qin Yu and said, "Even if what you said makes sense, how do you explain the fact that the Jinyiwei later arrested Wang Hou, the prefect of Juncheng?"
"You set up an organization yourself, yet you dare to arrest an official appointed by the imperial court? Humph! Qin Yu! You are too bold! Do you think you are above the imperial court?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Yu. Although the emperor was aggressive, what he said was very reasonable. It was indeed inappropriate for the Jinyiwei to arrest an imperial official!
"As the Crown Prince of Daliang and the ruler of the Southern Territory, if someone commits a crime in the Southern Territory, shouldn't I, the Crown Prince, intervene?"
Qin Yu asked rhetorically.
Shangguan Wan'er seized the opportunity and said directly, "Brother Crown Prince, please stop making unreasonable arguments. The Emperor just wants to teach you a lesson. How can you keep contradicting him?"
"That prefect Wang Houwang has been an official in Jun City for many years and has never committed any crime. He has also made Jun City very prosperous. Even if he made mistakes, they were only minor ones!"
"Besides, the Jinyiwei didn't investigate too much. They just went to check the granary and then captured Prefect Wang. This! This doesn't make sense at all!"
......
When Shangguan Wan'er said this, the scholars shook their heads unconsciously, because what Shangguan Wan'er said made sense. Even if Wang Hou committed a crime, it would take time to verify it!
The Jinyiwei were too direct in arresting people!
"Humph! We are the noble families of Juncheng. We saw everything that happened that day. Your Highness, don't even think of quibbling!"
"Your Highness! Magistrate Wang is a good official. He has devoted his life to our Jun City and handles government affairs until late at night every day. How could such a person commit such a crime?"
"Humph! It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the traitor!"
"As a noble family in Juncheng, our business has been profitable for many years. However, recently due to the many policies of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our business has been losing money!"
"Your Highness, you must give us an explanation and give Magistrate Wang justice. Otherwise, we will never agree!"
The world nobles of Juncheng all said in a cold voice.
