Han Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, said in a deep voice: "The Holy Lord has already treated the Marquis of Yihui well, and his eldest son is now guarding the mausoleum, and the Heavenly Family also has rewards for festivals every year, and this Liu Chun's crime is extremely evil, how can he be protected by the favor of his ancestors!" ”

Hu Weiyong arched his hand and said: "Liu Chun is guilty and should be punished, but for the sake of his young and ignorant people, and for the sake of Xianyi Huihou, it is better to be punished with a cane and sent back to the township." ”

Chen Youzong, the general political envoy, glanced at the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and stepped forward and said: "Liu Chun is not too young to be more than thirty years old, what Hu Xiang said is too light, Liu Chun bullied people and oppressed the good to death more than ten people, not to mention the most beaten ministers, Weichen thought that he should be beheaded!" ”

Ji'an Hou Lu Zhong retorted: "It's too much beheading, it's the brother of Yihui Hou in the end!" ”

Han Qi snorted coldly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the brother of the marquis, is it possible that the Marquis of Ji'an thinks that the sons of the noble can be exempted from the laws of the country?" ”

Hu Weiyong glanced at Han Qi silently, but he didn't expect to take Qian Tang and Han Qi, the stubborn donkey, and then looked at the Hubu Shangshu again, and the two sides understood with a pair of eyes.

The fingers under the sleeve robe of the Hubu Shangshu moved slightly, and the Hubu waiter on the side immediately pointed at Han Qi and scolded: "Then where will you go to the saint?" Can't Han Zhongcheng think about it for the saint, how does the world look at the royal family as soon as Liu Chun dies, do you want the saint to bear the name of ingratitude? ”

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold, dare to speak wildly, and don't kneel down to plead guilty!"

After the household servant finished speaking, he immediately received a stormy baptism, and happily knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few heads: "The saint is Rongyu, Weichen is dedicated to the public, Liu Chun is small, and the royal reputation is important, Zhongcheng Han Qi and Dali Temple Qing Yan Donglai are all people who are afraid of chaos in the world, but they don't know how to worry about the monarch in the temple, and they just want to invite the name of direct invitation, and the ministers ask the saint to punish these two officials!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the upper position, still had a calm face and did not make a sound, and Yan Donglai calmly knelt down and retorted: "There can be mistakes in impartial law enforcement, what Li Shilang said is extremely absurd, since Liu Chun is guilty, he should be severely punished according to the law, and the people of the world will only applaud when they hear this, if they indulge Liu Chun, they will discredit the face of the saint and the face of the royal court!" ”

Han Qi also answered: "If you don't kill Liu Chun, the law is intolerable, if you are extrajudicial because of your ancestors' meritorious service, then you will lose your trust to the people, and over time, what is the majesty of the law of the country?" Kill Liu Chun for the benefit of the country and the people, please think carefully! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the imperial case fiercely and said sharply: "The first righteous Huihou has a great favor to us, and now that we have become the emperor, can't we even keep the blood of our benefactor?" You should be loyal to the king and kill Liu Chun, what kind of face do you have to let us go to see our benefactor after a hundred years? ”

The anger of the Son of Heaven was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The ministers are guilty, please calm the anger of the saint." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped, as if this anger had been withheld for a long time: "Wait for this to be a blind and often despise the king, it is clearly to let us stay infamous in the world, did I say that the descendants of the Liu family enjoy wealth and prosperity and rest with the Ming Dynasty, some of you just take our orders seriously, okay, someone will press Han Qi, Yan Donglai, Chen Youzong and others out and behead them to show the public!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people in the court pleaded for mercy, and even Hu Weiyong persuaded: "The saint is angry, although Han Zhongcheng and others have made mistakes, but the crime is not to death, please forgive one or two of them." ”

Listening to everyone's plea, Old Master Han's face did not change, he kowtowed respectfully and got up and said: "Since ancient times, the monarch wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, but they had to die, and the ministers were still the same sentence, Liu Chun's crime was extremely evil, and he should be killed to follow the laws of the Zhengguo Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes seemed to erupt with flames, and the civil and military officials were trembling, they had not seen the saint so angry for a long time, only Hu Weiyong and the others silently glanced at the back of His Royal Highness the Prince, Yan Donglai and Chen Youzong were all pulled by the prince, and it was impossible to watch them be beheaded like this.

And after thinking about it deeply, there is obviously no need to alarm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this matter, why did the Holy Lord specially call His Royal Highness, and why did Chen Youzong, who was obviously out of the matter just now, start to kill Liu Chun as soon as he saw His Royal Highness the Prince.........

Hu Weiyong sighed slightly, the two positions of Dali Siqing and Tongzheng Envoy are the top priorities, he probably doesn't want to take it, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down.

Zhu Biao silently listened to the remarks of various people, he remembered that several of them were still playing a petition to kill Han Qi, Chen Youzong and others, but at this time they began to intercede for them, I have to say that the rhythm of the court changes so fast, it is really difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous anger naturally did not end, and after a while, there were sword-wielding warriors entering the palace and taking down Han Qi, Chen Youzong and others, and many imperial historians were still playing against Lao Zhu's anger to severely punish Liu Chun.

Zhu Biao saw that the time was almost there, and he took a step forward and choked up: "Father and Emperor Rong, Han Zhongcheng and others are dedicated to the country, even if there is a little inappropriate in their words, it will not be a capital crime, and the sons and daughters kneel down and beg their fathers to open up the grace of heaven, if the father is unwilling to stop his anger, the sons are willing to be punished for them." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "Prince, you are threatening me, do you still have my father in your eyes?" Xianyi Huihou buried your imperial ancestor Kaoyu, do you dare to deny this kindness? ”

Zhu Biao shook his head with tears: "Erchen doesn't dare, the great kindness of the first righteous and virtuous Erchen is inscribed within five, but the law of the dynasty often has to be maintained, Liu Chun has indeed committed a crime, even if he is not punished, he should not implicate other loyal and outspoken officials, and the son-in-law asks his father to think twice." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly: "Come on, drag the prince down to the big fifty boards!" ”

As soon as these words came out, where did anyone dare to stand, the officials, palace maids, eunuchs, and even those few soldiers inside and outside the Fengtian Hall knelt on the ground in fear: "The Holy One is angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, how can he be punished, and the ministers are willing to be punished on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask the Holy Lord to be merciful!" ”

"The saint can't, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my Ming prince, the king humiliates the ministers to death, the ministers must not watch the prince being punished, the saint, please punish me first!"

"The saint is angry, His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and loyalty are praised by the world, how can it be intentionally collided, this must be the instigation of Cheng Han Qi and others in the imperial history, please punish Han Qi!"

Old Master Han stubbornly raised his head: "It is not a pity for the Holy Ministers to die, but before they die, they must not sit back and watch the prince of the country be humiliated, not to mention that the ministers think that His Royal Highness is not guilty, but that the Holy Lord is wrong, and the kindness of the Xianyi Huihou has been repaid. ”

"Now his son doesn't know how to enjoy wealth and wealth, relying on the ancestral yin virtue and chaos to oppress the good, how can he not kill the law, as the saying goes, the Tao is dead and the military is dead, and the country is safe, and the monarch will refuse to admonish, then he will be loyal and brave, and if the good and evil are the same, the heroes will be tired, how can the saint not understand such a reason, and please kill Liu Chun to clean up the wind of corruption!"
