I don't know if Zheng Jinlian's sugar pear soup really worked, or if Li Muer's intentions moved Zhu Youji, and his cough gradually eased a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the trial of King Jing's case also ushered in the final moment.

At noon one day, Zhu Youzhu did not take a nap, nor did he retreat from Li Mu'er, but summoned Dai Shan and Ma Cong into the palace to inquire about the results of King Jing's interrogation.

"Your Majesty, King Jing has pleaded guilty." Dai Shan is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, although he is detained in Jinyiwei, his errands will not be less at all.

Ma Congben looked at Li Mu'er, and added when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, in addition to attacking his own family, King Jing often gathers some little hooligans to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Sometimes they change into civilian clothes, ride high-headed horses, rampage through the streets and alleys, and even cross the Yangtze River without permission, looking for flowers and willows everywhere, as long as they hear about which daughter-in-law or daughter has some beauty, they will snatch back the Jingwang Mansion. ”

Li Mu'er was angry when she heard this, and said angrily: "That's true, King Jing's mansion is often drunk and drunk, according to Weichen's guess, with King Jing's age, he is far from being able to afford his ** life......"

"That's right," Ma Cong saw that she was full of aura, and his heart was happy, "In addition to shouting poverty in the book, Ming is insistent, King Jing often embezzles in secret." According to investigations, he once swallowed up a large amount of official grain and bought and sold it. The money accumulated in the treasury of King Jing's Mansion is tens of thousands! ”

Zhu Youzhu listened to their recital quietly, and only after a while did he speak: "You also saw that the Empress Dowager personally went to Jinyiwei that day. ”

The two nodded. Li Mu'er was taken aback. Indeed, on the day he returned to the palace, Xiao Jing reported to the Empress Dowager to see King Jing......

Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants to protect him?

This is possible, after all, although King Jing's sin is great, at most it will only damage the royal reputation, and it cannot be the same as Li Mu'er's treason with the enemy as expected.

Li Mu'er was slandering, and sure enough, she heard Zhu Youzhu say: "The Empress Dowager is thinking about the blood connection, and begging me to spare King Jing's life." ”

For King Jing, Li Mu'er only has disgust in her heart. For several months, although she had not asked Zhu Youji what she would do with King Jing. But in her selfish heart, she thought that King Jing would inevitably die.

Dai Shan and Ma Cong looked at each other, obviously as surprised as Li Mu'er. The crime committed by King Jing is not too much to kill a hundred times, and the emperor will forgive him for his innocence because he is a close relative of the emperor's surname?

"It's just that capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. What do you think is the most appropriate judge? ”

Zhu Youzhu personally asked their opinions, which was an honor and trust for the two. Dai Shan was the first to propose: "Then he will be locked up in prison forever and left to fend for himself." ”

"My lord, although this punishment is second only to execution, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to carry it out." Ma Cong was polite and persuaded, "Being in prison for a long time is prone to variables. Even if I am in prison, I can't completely guarantee that I won't travel for the rest of my life. Judging from the group of black-clothed people who rescued King Jing on the way back to Beijing, King Jing still has henchmen outside, and if he comes to rob the prison again, it will be a troublesome matter. ”

"Ma Cong is right," Zhu Youzhu bowed his head and twisted his eyebrows, "Besides, the Empress Dowager means that she will have to take into account the royal face, and she will be slop......py after all if she is imprisoned in prison."

It is not possible to kill, it is not okay to close it, and exile or something gives the same party a chance, and it is even more unfeasible. How can that be punished?

Zhu Youzhu looked at Li Mu'er leisurely, "Bachelor girl, what do you think?" ”

Li Mu'er pursed her lips and said against her will: "Weichen has a way, I don't know if it's feasible......"

……………………

In December, on a sunny day and the ice and snow melted, Zhu Youzhu came to Wenhuamen in person and interrogated King Jing with several imperial relatives and civil and military ministers.

Li Mu'er accompanied her as a female official, and Zhu Youzhu didn't want King Jing to see her anymore, so he hid her behind the crowd.

When she saw King Jing's hair messy and walking towards Zhu Youzhu in embarrassment, Li Mu'er was a little afraid for some reason.

It was as if there was a sudden doubt as to whether the outcome of that day's discussion was wrong or wrong.

But King Jing obviously no longer has the ability to hurt anyone. Although he was arrogant and domineering, Li Muer saw through that he was a strong person on the outside. Now that the subordinates around him who came up with ideas are gone, and the capital that can be arrogant is gone, he is like a fish that has been scaled off, and it is difficult to be tough.

Subsequently, Dai Shan of the Criminal Department listed the crimes of King Jing.

The words seemed to make her return to the palace and re-feel the sorrow of the He family and the Mao family.

But before coming here today, she had already asked Zhu Youzhu to let go of King Jing's youngest son, Zhu Youxuan. Thinking of that little face that seemed irritable but was always full of innocence, Li Mu'er's heart was a little relieved.

At least the little young master doesn't have to continue to live in that environment and lose his nature.

After Dai Shan finished reading, King Jing was indisputable, as Li Mu'er guessed, this scaled fish had to take the initiative to admit the facts of his crime.

Hearing about his ridiculous things, there was an uproar around. The imperial family and the ministers of civil and military affairs have said: "King Jing saw that he violated the teachings of his ancestors and cut himself off from the royal family; violates morality and human ethics, and it is difficult to tolerate ...... between heaven and earth.

Like Li Mu'er at the beginning, everyone thought that King Jing should be punished for his crimes.

However, they would not have expected how merciful Zhu Youzhu was, "Seeing that he violated the ancestral teachings, exterminated the principles of heaven, harmed flesh and blood, blasphemed human ethics, and offended the ancestors of heaven and earth." The kings considered that their sins were so great that they should be put under the law. Today, the princes, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the officials of science and technology have handed over the impeachment of the law, and the law should be executed. But I can't bear to increase the punishment when I miss my relatives. ”

But I can't bear to increase the sentence when I miss my relatives?

The faces of the people turned different.

King Jing looked up, a smile of surprise and triumph crossed the corner of his mouth.

But I heard Zhu Youzhu continue to order: "But I can't bear to increase the punishment when I miss my relatives, so I will be lightly punished." Today, the king of Jing saw the trouble, cut off the prince and reduced him to a concubine, and confined him to the west. As for those counseling officials and subordinates in King Jing's Mansion, Ah Shun greeted him, mistook the master, caused the king to commit a crime, and was deposed! ”

It turned out that Li Mu'er made this proposal that day: the west of the city.

Li Mu'er in Xinei has been there, the sheep house is sandwiched between the road, the inner peace hall, the father is not loved by the mother in that place, no one cares about the merits and demerits, and no one cares about birth, old age, sickness and death. In addition, it is always in the inland border, and if you want to rob King Jing out of the palace, you can only enter from the Forbidden City, which can be described as even more difficult.

In this way, although King Jing was exempted from the death penalty, he became a nameless concubine in the end. and was placed under house arrest in Sinei, for his temperament, he can no longer be powerful, and it can be regarded as a punishment.

Although everyone felt that it was not happy enough, they did not dare to have any objections to the royal face, and said in unison "My emperor is wise".

The "wise" Zhu Youzhu found Li Mu'er's figure from a distance and winked at her.

At this point, Li Mu'er thought that King Jing's matter had finally come to an end and he could settle down...... (To be continued.) )
