"Foreign subject Shu Hou greets Your Majesty."
Although he was unwilling to address his nephew as King, courtesy could not be abandoned. Being too arrogant was undoubtedly a brainless behavior, so Ying Hui could only pay his respects.
"Marquis of Shu, get up."
Ying Rui didn't immediately question him, nor did he address him as Third Uncle. His tone was very indifferent.
"Why are you putting on the airs of a king? When I pull you down from the throne, you will definitely have a good time.”
Ying Hui, who had long refused to accept his nephew's ascension, didn't show his anger on the surface, but he was thinking fiercely in his heart.
"Marquis of Shu, shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened outside the palace today?”
How could Ying Rui not see through the thoughts of that cheap third uncle? He deliberately emphasized his words.
"Your Majesty, what explanation do you want? I didn't rebel or betray Great Qin.”
His nephew wanted to deal with him, who was his uncle, and that was a huge joke. Ying Hui only treated it as a way to scare him, and he acted as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Marquis of Shu, don't you dare boast shamelessly!”
"When the late king passed away, what did you do? You found an excuse not to come to Xianyang and see Xianyang for the last time!”
Revocation of the fief was not a small matter, not to mention the possibility of the title being stripped. The important civil and military officials were basically present, and Wang Ji, who stepped out to reprimand them, was one of them.
"This marquis was deceived by a vile person and heard wrongly in Shu. How can it be an excuse?”
Before coming to Xianyang, Ying Hui, who had prepared a good excuse beforehand, did not panic and was questioned by the old general.
"Since you knew that you had misunderstood my words, why didn't you correct it in time? Instead, you pretended to be sick all the way here. How should the Marquis of Shu explain it?”
Regarding the matter of the late king, Prime Minister Cai Ze, who was a minister of both dynasties, came forward to express his stance and immediately seized the loophole.
"This…"
Hearing this, Ying Hui, who had been able to answer smoothly, looked embarrassed, unable to find a reasonable reason.
He wanted to slap himself a few times. He had to add the words 'Shu Di' and instantly fell into a passive disadvantage.
"The late king found an excuse not to come after his death. When he arrived at Xianyang, he continued to lie that he was seriously ill and even deliberately stayed outside the palace to cry. He is truly unfilial.”
In response, Xiong Gu and Lou Huan, who were also old ministers, stepped forward to support the previous ministers.
Let's put it this way, whoever pleaded for Ying Hui now would be asking for trouble.
It would have a negative impact on the reputation of the individual and the faction. They would even be labeled as the son of a b * tch and not an accomplice at all.
"He's so unfilial. He's simply a reckless son. What right does he have to mourn the former king?”
Following that, more civil and military officials like Wei Liao and Meng Ao started to berate Ying Hui.
"All of you, shut up. What right do a group of foreign officials have to deal with me? I am a direct descendant of the royal family.”
Facing the responsibilities of a large number of officials, Ying Hui knew that he could not redeem his mistake, so he could only use his identity as a member of the royal family.
"Shut up. You're finding an excuse not to see Grandfather for the last time. You're even using this excuse to gain a reputation for filial piety. You're not worthy of mentioning the words 'royal scion!”
Hearing this, Ying Zi Huan, who had once been at odds with his big brother Ying Rui, could no longer tolerate being an unfilial person. He immediately shouted out loudly.
"You're just a little junior. It's not your place to speak. Get lost.”
A junior also stepped out to criticize. Ying Hui, who was extremely frustrated, started to scold him without any restraint.
"Ying Hui is a son of a man, a member of the Ying royal family. He doesn't deserve to have the land of Shu that the previous king bestowed upon him, and he doesn't deserve to have the title of Marquis conferred by the previous king!”
As he spoke, Ying Rui's tone suddenly changed, and he announced the result of the punishment for his third uncle.
Of course, this wasn't the end. The bird still had a big move waiting for the opponent!
As long as he lost his fief and the double protection of his title, a large number of crimes would be exposed, and no one would be able to stop Ying Hui from dying.
"Your Majesty is wise. We obey your orders!"
Whoever begged for mercy would be an unfilial person, bearing the nickname of a reckless son. It was rare for the civil and military officials in the court to agree, and the voice of obedience resounded throughout the entire hall.
As a matter of fact, as long as they didn't kill Ying Hui in public, and only wanted to remove his fief and title, no one would be stupid enough to step up for him.
"Your Majesty, this subject obeys!"
Ying Zihua, who had been scolded earlier, felt relieved from the inside.
"You, you guys!"
He first pointed at his nephew Ying Rui, and then at the group of civil and military officials. Ying Hui was so angry that his hands were trembling. They had actually joined forces to deal with him alone.
If it was all the civil and military officials in the court, then it would be fine. However, that yellow-haired nephew's son took the lead to deal with him, to deal with his own uncle.
Wasn't this just ganging up with a large group of outsiders to bully their own family? What kind of heir was the old man looking for?
"Cai Qing, you will still be the one to draft the edict. The Marquis of Shu was disrespectful to the previous king and unfilial to the previous king.“
"I and the civil and military officials of the court will not tolerate this.”
Ying Rui ignored the person who was so angry that he almost fainted. He shifted his gaze to the right and spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As a minister who drafted the edict, he was no less than a main participant. He represented a rise in reputation and a further increase in reputation.
Thinking of this, Cai Ze felt that being loyal to the king might not be a bad thing.
"Even Cai Ze himself is wavering. Shouldn't our Chu faction have made plans earlier?”
Glancing at Gan He, Wang Wan, and the others, Xiong Gu couldn't help but reminisce about the Chu Clan when they were at their peak. He narrowed his eyes as if he was plotting something.
After all, after the previous king's reckoning, the Chu faction's strength had been greatly reduced, and there were signs of weakness in their future.
Therefore, it was not a solution to continue like this. It was indeed time to think about it carefully.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know my mistake, I know my mistake. Can you give me a chance to change?”
Seeing that he wasn't just trying to scare him, but was actually using a vicious move, Ying Hui immediately panicked and ignored his burning anger.
"Just you wait, Ying Rui. As soon as I return to Shu, your death will come.”
On the surface, he spoke very sincerely, but in the process of bowing, his face that was facing the ground was almost distorted.
The reason was very simple. He was enduring the humiliation of being forced to lower his head and planned to learn from Gou Jian of the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Your actions are outrageous, and the entire court despises you. There's no point in saying more.”
Ying Rui, who knew exactly what the other party was planning, suddenly became stern when he finished speaking.
"We are both members of the Ying Royal Clan, and I am your third uncle. Do you really have to be so ruthless?”
Hearing that incomparably harsh and clear accusation, Ying Hui's face darkened, and he spoke in a threatening tone.
"When it comes to the Ying Royal Clan, you are not qualified to say that you should scram from the throne room.”
Those words were half a threat and half a plea, so Ying Rui didn't take them to heart. He only left the word 'scram' for the reckless Ying Hui.
The Ying Royal Family represented Great Qin's reputation, and Ying Hui did not have the right to say anything. He had never been filial at all.
On the other hand, his great-grandfather had treated Ying Hui badly. He had given him a fief and a marquis title, but in the end, he was just an ungrateful wolf.
