Chapter 136: Don't Drink If You Don't Get It
On the one hand, the emperor faced the national law and the serious Chen Xiao, and on the other hand, he had to face the special group of his beloved concubines and imperial relatives.
How to get there?
"Your Majesty, in the imperial capital, I don't know how many people have seen the evil deeds of the noble concubine and her father, and if they don't kill them, it's not enough to settle their grievances. At the house, the man who was in charge of the people was lying on the bed, almost crippled.
Sinners, ignoring the law of the country, ignoring the court and ignoring officials, if they are not given heavy punishments, I am afraid that such things will be common in the future and often happen. Your Majesty, you ...... Careful! ”
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with expectant eyes.
The emperor looked at Chen Xiao's eyes, a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been with you for nearly twenty years, and now, I have nothing to ask for, but Your Majesty, to spare my father's capital crime...... I beg Your Majesty ......"
Saying that, Hu Guifei kowtowed to the ground!
The emperor was helpless, so he helped her up and said, "I will think about ......."
"Your Majesty, even if you are not a concubine, but also for our emperor, he has been practicing penance in the sect all the year round, and he has had a good relationship with his grandfather since he was a child, if he comes back and learns that his grandfather is dead, how can he accept it......"
Hearing this, the emperor was slightly moved.
Yes, now we have to see not only the face of the concubine, but also the face of the third prince whom he likes.
Now, it's even harder.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department:
"Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you go out!"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department was stunned, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister retires!" ”
"Aifei, you also go out!"
Hu Guifei was a little puzzled, but since the emperor spoke, she could only get up, and then went outside.
In the imperial study, only the emperor and Chen Xiao were left.
The emperor pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but Chen Xiao said first:
"Your Majesty, have you already made your choice?"
The emperor said: "Chen Xiao, I understand that the law is not merciful, but the noble concubine and her father did not hurt people's lives, yes or no?" ”
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Yes!" ”
"The concubine and her father, although the crime is extremely heinous, it is not unforgivable, let alone a relative of the emperor? There's reason to forgive a little, right? The emperor said.
Chen Xiao pouted: "You are the emperor, you said forgiveness, what can I do?" Anyway, the law is also determined by you, and the law is also determined by you, and now if you want to destroy the law, is it not a matter of one sentence? ”
The emperor could hear that Chen Xiao was sarcastic, and snorted and said: "In this matter, I can't help but give face to the concubine, and I can't help but give face to the third prince, so, you, do you want to give me face?" ”
"How can I decide whether to give you face or not? I'm just a little ant of six grades, just like the good citizen woman who was molested on the street, and the catcher who was beaten and collapsed in bed to maintain the law and order, I was just the object of bullying.
People like us, living at the bottom, honest, law-abiding, loving the country, and supporting the imperial court. Therefore, even if we are molested, beaten, and besieged, we cannot pray for any result. For those who molest, beat, and besiege us are ...... from above."
Chen Xiao's face was calm and his tone was calm.
But the words that came out made the emperor's face pale.
What is this for? This is a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the emperor......
It's just Chen Xiao, who has some special friendship with the emperor, and if you change someone, dare you say that?
The key is that although this Chen Xiao is sarcastic, it is also sarcastic, and the emperor can't refute it.
I could only endure the unhappiness and said: "Chen Xiao, don't make it difficult for me, you have also seen it, the concubine is my woman after all!" ”
"So, after all, your majesty is for the sake of his own privileges, and does he not care about anything else? Besides, if the concubine asks for mercy from you, you can forget it, I will find Jiu'er to ask for mercy, is it okay. Chen Xiao said.
"Come on, this has nothing to do with Jiu'er." The emperor said.
"How is it irrelevant? I went to arrest the concubine's father, and her father let a group of thugs almost beat me to death inside. Chen Xiao lied without blinking his eyes, those thugs knew about it, and they would probably cry!
He continued: "If Jiu'er knew, I was almost beaten to death by the thugs of the concubine and her father, do you think she is in a hurry with you?" ”
As soon as he heard this, the emperor had two heads and two bigger.
In this matter, the concubine came forward, Chen Xiao took care of it, he already had a headache, if Long Jiuling was involved again, it would really be unpleasant.
So he sighed: "That's it, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, let him be punished, and then compensate you...... 1,000 taels of silver, compensate for the 1,000 taels of silver for the quick catch, and 1,000 taels of silver for the woman who was molested, how about it? ”
Chen Xiao pursed his lips, thinking so lightly? Engage in a hammer, worthy of your relatives, it's really enough.
Seeing that Chen Xiao was dissatisfied, the emperor continued: "How about I let him be grounded for life again, and he will not be close to women?" ”
Chen Xiao must not be satisfied, too lazy to listen to these nonsense, Chen Xiao said: "Whatever, I don't care......"
That being said, how could he not care?
Anyway, I have already made a plan for both hands, and now, the official can't kill Hu Tianyou, and Chen Xiao doesn't care, anyway, there is a second plan, that is...... Assassinate.
How he died, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he has to die.
"You don't care?" The Emperor asked unexpectedly.
Chen Xiao said: "It doesn't matter, alas...... It's a headache, what's the matter, Your Majesty, you say he's not guilty, he's not guilty, okay? ”
The emperor smiled: "Chen Xiao, isn't this good?" ”
"Call Hu Guifei in!" The emperor said to the eunuch.
The old eunuch went out and called Hu Guifei in.
"Ai Fei, I have already told Chen Xiao that he decided to take a step back and not treat your father with the death penalty, but the punishment should not be less, a fine of 3,000 pieces of silver, respectively to the woman who was molested, the injured Catcher Kuai and Chen Xiao."
Hu Guifei glanced at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao said, "Guifei Niangniang still seems to be dissatisfied? ”
The emperor's face sank: "Love concubine!" ”
Hu Guifei was helpless and spoke: "Thank you Lord Chen for your magnanimity!" ”
Chen Xiao snorted and said, "No need! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is leaving!"
Chen Xiao said, stepped forward and picked up the two jars of wine.
"Huh? What are you doing? Isn't this for me? "The emperor is in a hurry.
Chen Xiao pouted: "Don't drink the wine, right?" It affects the mind, and it is easy to drink too much and not distinguish between right and wrong! ”
With that, he took the wine and left!
"You bastard, you came to me with a drink to do something, and you didn't succeed and left with wine, it's too realistic!" The emperor is angry and funny.
Chen Xiao snorted and didn't look back.
Hu Guifei looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, he is too rude, you should take care of it." ”
The emperor frowned, a little impatient, and said:
"Your father has committed several crimes, and you beg me for forgiveness, and now because of Chen Xiao's temperament, you think I should take care of him? Should you take care of Chen Xiao, or should you take care of your father? ”
Hu Guifei hurriedly bowed her head: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine will find time to go back and talk about his ......"
The Emperor snorted and did not speak.
Chen Xiao took two jars of wine and said as he walked: "Hu Guifei, your father can live, Lao Tzu has your surname!" ”
