"You…"
Second Emperor Li was furious!
A vein popped out on his forehead, and killing intent could be seen in his eyes.
As the heroic ruler of the Great Tang, he had swept away all the heroes and awed the world. Even fierce generals like Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, who had been through hundreds of battles, had to lower their heads in front of Second Emperor Li.
When the emperor was angry, blood would flow!
Fang Yi 'ai was merely a bastard son of Fang clan, an unknown junior. Was he not afraid of being beheaded for challenging the dignity of the emperor time and time again?
"What a character! "This kid wants to divorce the princess even if he dies. I'm impressed…" Cheng Yaojin was a person who only wanted the world to be in chaos. The more he looked at Fang Yiai, the more he liked her. He could not help but mutter.
"Old Cheng, lower your voice!"
Duke Wei Li Jing frowned.
Qin Qiong, who was standing at the side, also pulled Cheng Yaojin's sleeve.
When Li Er looked over, Cheng Yaojin quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.
The court was completely silent, and the officials seemed to have frozen!
"Fang Yi 'ai, aren't you afraid that I will vent my anger on Fang clan if you resist my decree?”Second Emperor Li asked in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling glanced at his son and shook his head with a pleading look.
"I won't hide it from your majesty, I have already left Fang clan with nothing! According to the laws of the Great Tang, the crime is not as serious as the family. Moreover, His Majesty is a Saint Monarch of a generation, he wouldn't do something like a single person breaking the law and his entire family being punished…"
Fang Yi 'ai stood with her head held high, she did not lower her head and admit her mistake, she took on everything.
"You're a man. You have guts!"
"I didn't expect that Fang clan's second kid, who usually looks so refined, would be so ruthless, even if he had to be beheaded, he would divorce the princess.”
Most of the people who were whispering were generals, they admired the stubborn Fang Yi Ai.
"Silence!"
The head of the civil officials, Situ Zhangsun Wuji, roared. His eyes shone with a fierce light. The discussions of the generals became much softer, but many of them cursed in their hearts.
Why should your Li clan's princess bully Fang clan's second son?
She was clearly unruly and willful, doing all kinds of evil.
People divorced their wives according to the laws of the Great Tang. What kind of law did they violate?
For a moment, Second Emperor Li froze on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, may I say a few words?”Empress Zhangsun whispered behind the screen.
"Guanyin maidservant, go and persuade this brat to withdraw his divorce letter and reconcile with the princess.”Second Emperor Li sighed helplessly.
If it was a tyrant in history, he would have just dragged out and killed such an insensible Fuma.
However, Second Emperor Li had to clear his name after killing his brother and forcing his father to take the throne. He wanted to be a wise ruler who accepted advice humbly and implemented benevolent policies.
In order to leave a good name in history and cover up the fact that he had killed his brother and forced his father, he had to endure it no matter how angry he was.
Thus, Emperor Li Er invited Empress Zhangsun out.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Empress Zhangsun was virtuous and had a high prestige among her subjects. The moment she appeared, the ministers all bowed. Fang Yi 'ai did not have any ill intentions towards her mother-in-law and bowed.
Before the divorce, he still gave Empress Zhangsun enough respect.
"Yiai, the princess is indeed a little unruly. However, when ordinary couples in common people's families also had to fight and sulk, why must they divorce their wives?”
Empress Zhangsun opened her eyes slightly and spoke in a calm but dignified voice.
"Your Majesty, I have already explained the reason. Princess and I don't have the same personality, and she has no feelings for me. The couple have never truly slept together…"
When he said this, the ministers were stunned!
This was supposed to be a secret, but Fang Yi 'ai had said it in public, causing Empress Zhangsun to lose face.
"Yiai, how did this widow treat your Fang clan?”
Unable to reason with her, Empress Zhangsun played the emotional card.
In all fairness, Empress Zhangsun had nothing to say to Fang clan. But now that Fang Yi Ai had left Fang clan with nothing, she naturally would not be affected by this kinship.
Princess Gao Yang was domineering and did not have any good feelings towards this kind of woman, Fang Yi 'ai. She must get a divorce!
"Your majesty, I have already left Fang clan, this matter has nothing to do with the clan! I have said it again and again, if you don't like the princess, please separate. From now on, you will be safe.”
Fang Yi 'ai weighed every word carefully, each word seemed to contain the power of a thousand catties, causing Empress Zhangsun's heart to tremble!
Things had progressed to this point, and there was no room for negotiation.
At this moment, Second Emperor Li, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said,""Let's invite State Duke Shen Gao Shilian and State Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin to speak!”
State Duke Shen Gao Shilian was a highly respected figure among the civil officials. As for State Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin, he was also extremely popular among the generals. Second Emperor Li simply asked the two of them to come out and intercede.
Cheng Yaojin was a shrewd person and knew that it was not good to get involved in this kind of thing.
He deliberately took a step back when he stepped out to let Gao Shilian, the State Duke of Shen, go first.
As a result, Gao Shilian, the State Duke of Shen, was facing the stubborn Fang Yi 'ai alone while Cheng Yaojin stood at the side and watched with a smile.
He knew that High Duke Shen Gao Shilian would speak first!
This was because Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shen, was not only born into a prestigious family, but he was also Empress Zhangsun's uncle and Princess Gaoyang's uncle.
As expected, Gao Shilian, the State Duke of Shen, walked to Fang Yiai's side and said in a deep voice,""Fang Yi 'ai, do you really not want to continue living with Gao Yang?”
"High Duke, you can't even live another day!”
"Alright then, you guys can divorce-"
Gao Shilian, Duke of Shen, said shockingly.
