"Qi Zhe......" Qi You saw that he was almost singing, so he pretended to be unhappy and shouted Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe pursed his lips and said reverently, "Uh...... The younger brother has always been open-mouthed, and if he has no intentions, please don't blame the royal brother. ”

Qi You shook his head helplessly and said: "You, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have counted you as the most jubilant, okay, although this matter is indeed disgraceful, I am indeed very angry, but after all, it involves the stability of the country and the society, and the honor of the royal family, I don't plan to hide this matter from you Aiqing, presumably everyone should have received some news one after another yesterday, knowing that you would be muttering in private, so I made special arrangements for this dynasty, in order to explain it clearly to you Aiqing, and please listen carefully." ”

Qi You's words fell, and the ministers immediately said humbly: "Please show the emperor." ”

Qi You sighed and said, "I think everyone is wondering why this rebellious person is actually the second prince of King Shen and me, to be honest, I am also panicked!" ”

Just this sentence, some ministers had already heard the disappointment and surprise implied in Qi You's words, and everyone did not speak, but continued to listen to Qi You's words.

"Hey...... Qi Shen is my brother, as we all know, his body has always been weak, and in recent years, he has been silent and rarely haunts, and I am also very tolerant and caring for him, but I really didn't expect him to have such evil thoughts, and he also instigated the second prince to become his minions to the outside world, hum! They are all my dear people, but they all want to put me to death and cause chaos to the court, hey...... My heart hurts more than I really hurt......" Qi You said, and his tone was a little stunned.

Gonggong Xue immediately said nervously: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your body." ”

"yes. Your Majesty, no matter what happens, it is the best outcome for you to be safe and sound, you must pay attention to the dragon body! Seeing the situation, Lord Gongsun immediately cared.

The ministers also followed suit: "Please take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Qi You sighed and said, "Take care of the dragon body, hehe, yes, take care of the dragon body, but some people don't want to live comfortably!" ”

Qi You's words fell, and there was a commotion among the courtiers, you look at me, I look at you. I'm afraid that some people in the emperor's mouth are implicitly alluding to themselves. Everyone was inexplicably nervous.

Qi You smiled: "Don't panic, some people have already dealt with it yesterday, although I am benevolent, I am the king of a country in the end." There is no room for sand in the eyes. So deal with it early. I felt comfortable earlier, and today I announced that you will enter the palace, just to chat with you. There are some things, I feel uncomfortable holding it in my heart, and I may be able to enjoy it by saying it for everyone to hear. ”

"The emperor, the lower officials and others are ministers, of course, they should do their best to solve problems for the emperor, and now Qi Shen and the second prince are plotting rebellion and chaos, and they should be killed, since the evidence is conclusive, the emperor does not need to be too merciful, after all, this country and society cannot tolerate such a thief to make trouble." Zhao Yunfan finally spoke out in solidarity with Qi You.

Qi Zhe also continued: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that you are unhappy, but what Zhao Shangshu said is reasonable, governing the country should be rewarded and punished, as the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the two of them?" Your Majesty, you should be severely punished! ”

"Indeed, indeed, such a conspiracy to rebel and make trouble should be severely punished!" Prime Minister Le also spoke.

"Of course, it should be severely punished, no matter who violates the law, it should be dealt with according to the law!"

"Yes, yes, it should be dealt with according to law...... the words of Qi Zhe and Prime Minister Le fell, and the courtiers all responded one after another, as for why Qi Shen and the second prince rebelled, how to rebel is no longer the focus of their concern, because they are really afraid that they will be classified into the ranks of some people if they express their stance later, it is a capital crime of rebellion, and no one wants to have anything to do with it.

The courtiers were all caught in the crusade against Qi Shen and the second prince, and at this moment, Qi Zhe smiled at Qi You on the dragon chair, and then glanced at Zhao Yunfan and Zhao Yunxuan behind him, and then Nunu smiled again.

Zhao Yunxuan and Zhao Yunfan naturally understood Qi Zhe's intentions, so they also nodded back and smiled slightly.

Seeing this, the fourth prince Qi Huanyue knew that this should be his father and the fifth uncle, and the uncle was another game, and he was a little envious and a little helpless, envious of the tacit understanding between the five uncles and his father, and the helpless thing was that he had to be so cautious and well-designed when he saw the government, which shocked Huanyue, a sincere half-grown child, again.

Qi You let the courtiers make noise for a while, and then cleared his throat and said: "Okay, okay, you Aiqing, I know that you are worried about me, but I already have a resolution to deal with it, and this morning the court is going to read out this handling opinion, you Aiqing will listen to it first, if there are any other different opinions, you can speak freely, Xue Gonggong!" ”

"The old slave is here!" Gonggong Xue immediately bowed down and said.

"Read the decree!" Qi You raised his chin and said.

Gonggong Xue immediately picked up the holy decree from the tray behind him and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

Xue Gonggong moved to the imperial steps with the holy decree in his hand, and slowly unfolded the holy decree and preached: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says...... Qi Shen, the prince of Yuanshen, and Qi Huanwei, the second prince, plotted rebellion and rebellion, and committed the following crimes, intending to usurp the throne, but the emperor blessed them, these thieves were finally captured outside the palace of nourishing hearts, and the accompanying troops were also captured one by one...... Depose the prince of Qi Shenshen, demote him to a commoner, and expel him from the capital, and his descendants will not be allowed to step into the capital for half a step without a summoning order, and those who violate the order will be punished by everyone......"

Xue Gonggong was more than halfway through the holy decree, but he stopped and breathed for a moment, but at this moment, there was already a lot of sighing among the courtiers, Xue Gonggong did not pay attention but took a deep breath and continued to preach: "Depose the second prince Qi Huanwei as the prince, demote him to the common people, and depose the royal jade under the name of Qi Shen, the prince of Yuanshen, and the heirs behind him will not be allowed to step into the court for half a step......"

"What?" When the handling of the second prince was announced, the courtiers suddenly gasped like a fried pot, and they were all a little stunned and puzzled, but because the holy decree had not yet been announced, everyone could only continue to listen with doubts and anxiety in their hearts.

Gonggong Xue raised his eyes and glanced at the reaction of the courtiers below. Then he glanced back at Qi You, Qi You smiled slightly and nodded, and Gonggong Xue could only continue: "As for the remnants of the congregation, they will all be dealt with by the Criminal Department in accordance with the law, and the vacant official titles will be screened and replaced by the five kings Qi Zheyan, and this ......"

After reading the holy decree, Gonggong Xue turned around and retreated to Qi You's side and said, "Your Majesty, the holy decree has been announced. ”

Qi You nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, I don't know if Aiqing is satisfied with this treatment?" ”

The courtiers had been confused by this unexpected decree, and they all only lowered their heads and whispered, as if discussing the purpose behind the decree. But in the end, no one thought that it should be a crime of capital punishment. But in the emperor's will, it became a fluttering deposition and expulsion, which seems that the emperor did remember the old feelings, and finally did not make a ruthless heart. The ministers had some admiration for the emperor's kindness and generosity.

The ministers were still immersed in shock. I didn't know what to do for a while. But Zhao Yunfan in the crowd was looking at the fifth prince Qi Zhe with a puzzled expression, and so was Zhao Yunxuan.

Qi Zhe received the eyes of his two brothers and shrugged helplessly. waved his hand, as if to say: This is what the emperor meant, and it really has nothing to do with me!

Zhao Yunxuan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what does this mean?" How could such a lengthy sentence come to be so lenient in the end? ”

Zhao Yunfan thought about it for a long time before he smiled a little speculatively: "Second brother, this is the emperor's power!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yunxuan was a little confused.

Zhao Yunfan turned his head sideways and whispered two words in Zhao Yunxuan's ear, and Zhao Yunxuan looked at his eldest brother with a stunned face and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

Zhao Yunfan patted Zhao Yunxuan's arm and said, "You can see a thing or two if you continue to read, otherwise why would the emperor give such an unbelievable and unreasonable holy decree?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yunxuan couldn't be sure for a while.

At this time, Qi You sat on a high seat and looked at the reactions of the courtiers below with slightly tense faces, and did not say a word, for a long time, before Gonggong Xue asked: "Your Majesty, look ......"

Qi You patted the dragon chair and said slightly: "Everyone, Aiqing, I don't know what else you have to say about this kind of treatment?" ”

Gongsun Shangshu stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty!" Since Qi Shen and the second prince conspired against each other, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and he should be beheaded according to the law, but the emperor is kind-hearted, thinking of the relationship between brothers and brothers, father and son, so the disposal is already extraordinarily open, although the old minister feels a pity, but he can still understand that the emperor can't bear it, and the old minister has no other opinions, just worried...... I'm worried that there will be criticism in the harem! ”

"Harem? Hehe, Gongsun Shangshu thinks about the long term, the harem you are worried about is nothing more than the queen and the queen mother, but? Qi You coughed twice.

"Emperor Shengming, it's true!" Gongsun Shangshu is not afraid.

"Oh, what's the criticism you're worried about?" Qi You asked.

"Back to the emperor, the second prince is the only son of the emperor and the queen, and the only grandson of the queen mother, it stands to reason that the second prince is not only the hope of the imperial court, but also the hope of the Liu family. Gongsun Shangshu was worried.

"Lord Gongsun, you are indeed the humerus of the court, I have also thought about this repeatedly, now that the second prince has been pulled out of the royal jade, the queen and the Liu family I don't plan to do too much investigation, but...... The second prince made such a trip, and the queen and the Liu family could not escape the responsibility, although I had the heart to understand, but the law and discipline were still there, and I was not too protective of it, but I had already considered it, after all, it was already my family matter, and I would naturally handle it properly, and Lord Gongsun would not have to worry too much. Qi You smiled slightly.

"Since the emperor has made arrangements, the old minister has no other opinions." Gongsun He had already heard the result he wanted from Qi You's words, so he bowed down and retreated to his original position.

"Everyone, Aiqing, do you have any other opinions?" Qi You answered Gongsun He's question, and then asked again very democratically.

The courtiers, you look at me, I look at yours, it seems that they have reached some kind of tacit understanding in their hearts, no one said more, but Qi Zhe bowed slightly and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since you have dealt with it, and you have indeed opened the net, then the ministers have no opinion, the ministers do not speak, I am afraid that no one should object, this kind of treatment is extraordinarily gracious, as for the aftermath of the matter, it should naturally be handed over to the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites and other departments to handle it collaboratively, Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Qi You said with a smile: "You kid can also say a few useful words, since everyone has no other intentions, then this matter will be closed, and the future matters will be handed over to the Criminal Department, the Household Department, the Ministry of Rites and other departments to deal with, as for other miscellaneous things, there is no need to go through here, and hand it over to the fifth prince Qi Zhe to deal with together." ”

"This ......" Qi Zhe's eyes widened when he heard Qi You's last words, and he looked at Qi You with surprise and regret and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhao Yunxuan and Zhao Yunfan looked at Qi Zhe's deflated appearance and felt very funny, and unconsciously there was a little more playful smile on their faces.

Qi You also smiled and said: "Okay, since everyone has no opinion, it's not too early at that time, I've been tired for a few days and want to rest and rest, the five kings stay, and the rest are scattered." ”

Without waiting for Gonggong Xue to raise his voice, Qi You announced his retreat from the court first, and the courtiers could only withdraw from the Imperial Hall with apprehension and incomprehension, leaving Qi Zhe alone in the hall with a slight pout...... (To be continued.) )
