Chapter 185: Reward and Punishment

"Zhongqing is flat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Emperor Li He wore a bright yellow twelve-regimental dragon twelve-chapter gown, wearing a nine-hone crown, and his whole body exuded the dignity of a natural emperor. He stretched out his hands flat, and the sound of shouting echoed in the wide hall, knocking the golden dragon Buddha on the golden dragon pillar back to life.

"Emperor Xie-" Zhongqing bowed three times and knocked nine times, and then he brushed up, bowed his head and stood solemnly on both sides, and his face was indifferent to the officialdom all the year round like a respected stone carving.

Li He was very familiar with this scene, and just waved his hand lightly: "The case of the reverse prince has been closed." Guarding the soul against the bones and paying for sins is also the fulfillment of merit. But there are still some things that are not yet done. The punishment that should be punished, the reward that should be rewarded, and the cases involved in the case of the reverse prince should also be liquidated and liquidated. ”

The minister seconded. Wang Jian, the head of the Wang family, took the first step forward and said loudly with a jade wat. Subsequently, all the great families also came out, and more than 100 officials echoed like thunder.

"First of all, Xinfu. Xin Fu adopted the reverse prince for more than 20 years, and it was later verified by Dali Temple that Xin Qi and Xin Zhou did not know. The whole thing was deliberately planned by the anti-princelings, taking advantage of the opportunity of Xin Qi's step-sister-in-law to let the anti-princes enter the Xin Mansion to conceal their identity. Li He paused, and looked deeply at Xin Qi among the hundred officials, "However, although he is innocently implicated, Xin Qi was also at fault for not carefully checking the identity of his children at the beginning of his succession. How should this be punished? Do you have any opinions? ”

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom. Zhu Qing's face was full of embarrassment.

Whether Dali Temple has seriously investigated or not, whether Xinfu is innocent or deliberate, it doesn't matter anymore. The key is that the emperor's words are too obvious to show his attitude: the emperor wants to let go of Xinfu. Then this punishment is to be punished, but it can't be heavy, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the emperor.

Long. Zhu Qing's eyes looked at the five surnames and seven wangs who were the first to start. And the eyes of the five surnames all looked at Wang Jian of the Wang family. The five surnames went to the Lu family, Queen Wang interfered in politics, and the Wang family became the first powerful family.

Wang Jian cleared his throat, and waited until everyone's eyes converged before he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have advice." Xinfu is at fault, saying that it is big or big, and that it is small or small. It is better to dismiss women and demote men. It's not too harsh, but it's a wake-up call. ”

When a woman is dismissed, it means that there are women in the clan who have been awarded the title of a foreign woman, and all the titles are cut off and the rank is removed.

Men are demoted, that is, all men in the clan who are officials are demoted to one level and one level lower.

The woman's title has no real power, and the dismissal is just to give the clan less rice and grain from the court. The demotion of the man is only one notch, and there will not be much difference. Such a punishment is indeed very mild, but the name of "punishment" is still sufficient.

Li He pondered for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "Just do what Aiqing wants." Foreign women such as Xin Zhou's and the like, get rid of the seal. Officials such as Xin Qi were demoted to the rank of Zhengliupin Chao Lang, and the rest of the clansmen were also demoted according to their ranks...... However, those who are punished are punished, and those who are rewarded should also be rewarded. Xinfu also has a great hero - Xinyi. This woman killed the rebel prince with her own hands, what do you think?"

Everyone in the court exchanged heads and whispered, but none of them came out to reply, understanding or pretending to be confused, and their eyes were on Wang Jian, the head of the Wang family.

Wang Jian laughed and waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a poor girl, maybe she accidentally killed the rebel prince." Where can it be regarded as a great achievement. Just give some jewels and silk. ”

This time, Li He did not agree immediately, but frowned a little: "Whether it was an accident or not, it was always this woman who killed the rebel prince with her own hands...... At that time, more than 100 Royal Forest soldiers at the scene could see it clearly...... If it is only a reward for treasures, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the hearts of the people of the world. ”

Wang Jian unexpectedly glanced at Li He, and the bottom of his eyes crossed with coldness. He was just about to argue something, but a faint but clear voice came—

Wechen has objections...... The reward is too light, and there should be a seal ......"

dares to talk to the Wang family, either stunned or straight. The eyes of the Manchu Dynasty were instantly sucked over, and the person who spoke out was not the side, but the Zhongwu General of the Fourth Grade, Xiao Chengming.

Xiao Chengming's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen...... Wechen thought it was ...... As everyone knows today, it was Xin Yi who killed the rebel prince...... In addition to the traitor, do not take the body lightly, show the righteousness, and do not be humble...... This woman is loyal to Kyushu to witness, and the world can be expressed. If it is only a reward, I am afraid that the people will criticize our emperor for not knowing the rewards and punishments, and it will not be beneficial for the people to rule for a long time......"

"A bunch of nonsense!" Wang Jian blew his beard and glared, and shouted violently, "Even if it is as Er said, but Xinyi, a concubine, if she gets the title, won't it be a mess of the dignity of the concubine." Moreover, Xin Qi was demoted to the sixth grade, and Xin Zhou's family was also retitled, if she got another fate, how could it be that she would mess up the order of the eldest and youngest. These two transgressions and violations of the rules of the ancestors are really useless in the hearts of the people!"

Wang Jian deliberately raised his voice, and the words exploded in the hall like thunder. Frightened, all the officials shrank their necks, and Emperor Li He's eyebrows frowned even tighter.

What Wang Jian refuted in these words is secondary, but this is an example of the monkey and deliberately asserts his authority, not only for the courtiers to see, but also for him Li He. Everyone knows that the Lu family is gone, his Wang family is the first, and one person is above 10,000 people, and it is he Wang Jian.

However, the previous "reward" admonition was refuted by Li He, and now there is a fourth-grade petty official who dares to object, Wang Jian's old face is a little unbearable, and he is simply not polite when he speaks.

"Give Xinyi ten jewels and ten boxes of silk and satin. That's it. Wang Jian held his chin high, and made a decision word by word, without taking the emperor on the Jinluan throne in his eyes at all.

The courtiers' eyebrows and eyes were huddled. Look at the emperor, and look at Wang Jian, no one seconded it, but no one refuted it. Everyone was in a dilemma, and Hanyuan Hall fell into a stalemate.

However, in such an atmosphere of dripping water into ice, the trembling voice sounded as if it was not afraid of death.

"Wechen...... Wechen thought it was ...... Regardless of whether the descendants are respected or humbled, or the eldest and youngest. There are so many rules of the ancestors, and the first one must be loyal...... Loyalty is the first word, loyalty cannot be committed, and the rest can be discussed again......"

The admonition is actually Xiao Chengming. His face was already pale with fright, and dripping cold sweat was dripping down, but his speech was still clear, and it slammed into everyone's ears seamlessly, making all the officials change their faces.

If the first admonition is a straight character, then the repeated refutation of Wang Jian is obviously against him. Even if it is under the name of "direct minister's admonition", it is in full view of everyone and competes with the Wang family.

Wang Jian was stunned. He immediately laughed angrily, and his eyes stabbed like a knife: "What does Lord Xiao mean by this?

That's a lot of weight. Xiao Chengming wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead repeatedly, and his shirt was ** a large piece, but he replied without hesitation: "Weichen...... Wechen didn't dare to ...... It's just that...... Lord Wang is naturally the pillar of the country, but one person is invincible...... It is naturally better to have hundreds of loyal ministers than to stand alone...... This is the righteousness of the family and the country, and the great plan of the ancestors...... Don't you think so, Lord Wang?"
