For Feng Shuangli, this conversation with Wang Henian is very meaningful.

This made him jump out of the initial confusion after arriving in Nanjing.

Although the waiting process is very painful, at least there is hope.

Feng Shuangli also wanted to know how the Son of Heaven would deal with him, whether his crime could be big or small, it depended on how the Son of Heaven weighed it.

But the Son of Heaven obviously wanted to hang him, and it was not until Feng Shuangli was detained in the Jinyi Guard Office for ten days that the Son of Heaven summoned him to the palace.

However, this move was indeed unexpected by Feng Shuangli.

In his opinion, even if the Son of Heaven wants to see him, he will be in the Jinyi Guard, and he will not be in the palace.

After all, he is now a criminal minister, and Da Ming has no precedent for summoning a criminal minister into the palace.

Even the courtiers who were proven guilty at those times were not guilty at least when they were summoned by the emperor.

Does this represent a signal that the Son of Heaven does not feel that his crimes are too great to be forgivable?

Otherwise, when the Son of Heaven saw him in Jinyiwei, why did he need to summon him into the palace?

Of course, everything can only be seen after entering the palace.

Although Feng Shuangli did not wear prison clothes after being imprisoned in Jinyiwei, his original clothes naturally did not wear them anymore.

This time he entered the palace and wore a cloth dress.

The meaning of this could not be clearer, that is, Feng Shuangli said that he was a criminal minister, no different from ordinary people, and let His Majesty the Emperor fall.

This at least shows the attitude, as for how the Son of Heaven will decide, that is the matter of the Son of Heaven.

Feng Shuangli's current state of mind is very peaceful, he is at least sure that the Son of Heaven will not kill him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone around in such a big circle.

To be honest, this is the first time Feng Shuangli has come to Nanjing.

At that time, the Great Western Army did not conquer the city of Nanjing, and later the Tatars entered the Central Plains, and the Western Army also retreated to Sichuan and Yunnan.

When he came to Nanjing for the first time to see the majestic Forbidden City, Feng Shuangli was shocked.

This Forbidden City is not known how many times larger than the palaces in Sichuan and Yunnan.

Even a Forbidden City alone can be worth the city of Kunming, right?

Feng Shuangli didn't make a specific estimate, but he felt that it must be about the same!

From the first moment he entered the palace, he followed behind the chamberlain, for fear of going to the wrong position.

After all, he is now a criminal minister, and if he violates the taboo in the palace and collides with the nobles, it will really be difficult to save the immortals.

When he first came to Nanjing, Feng Shuangli felt that he was going to die, so he had the mentality of seeing death as home, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

But now that he knows that there is hope of living, Feng Shuangli is naturally cautious and demanding to take the right step at every step.

Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people.

This Forbidden City is really too big, Feng Shuangli only felt that his feet were extremely sore, and the inner servant had no intention of stopping.

He couldn't help it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, how long will it take?" ”

"King Qingyang, don't worry, it's almost there."

The chamberlain obviously knew what the Son of Heaven meant, and his attitude towards Feng Shuangli was quite good.

"Bypass the front hall and then the Qianqing Palace."

Feng Shuangli sighed and said no more.

He now just wants to see the Son of Heaven earlier, admit his mistake in person in front of the Emperor, and beg for the Son of Heaven's forgiveness.

After about a cup of tea, Feng Shuangli was taken to the front of the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the majestic palace, Feng Shuangli took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"King Qingyang, wait a moment, let's go and talk first."

Feng Shuangli didn't even dare to say it.

When the chamberlain went to Tongyu, Feng Shuangli carefully looked at the Qianqing Palace.

The generals of Xiying were not as blessed as the generals who broke into the camp, and they did not see the Forbidden City in Beijing with their own eyes.

So when Feng Shuangli saw the Forbidden City in Nanjing, it was completely a novel mentality.

If it were Liu Tichun and others, they wouldn't have this feeling.

Feng Shuangli didn't wait long, and soon the chamberlain went and returned.

"King Qingyang, Your Majesty has announced your visit."

The waiter's voice was very gentle, which made people very comfortable to listen to.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Feng Shuangli hugged his fists and thanked him, and then followed the inner servant up the stairs.

When he got to the pedestal of the Qianqing Palace and saw the vermilion lacquer gate, Feng Shuangli tidied up his robes.

Although he is only wearing cloth clothes now, he still tries to tidy up his appearance properly.

After all, this is a face saint, and it will decide Feng Shuangli's next fate, and he can't be sloppy at all.

The Son of Heaven decided to summon Feng Shuangli in the Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, so the chamberlain directly led him to the East Warm Pavilion.

Bypassing the screens, Feng Shuangli was finally led to Zhu Youlang's place.

The moment he saw the emperor, Feng Shuangli pushed Jin Shan and poured the jade pillar to kneel on the ground and saluted: "The criminal minister Feng Shuangli knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youlang said lightly: "Flatten." ”

The reason why Zhu Youlang didn't choose to summon Feng Shuangli immediately was that he didn't think about how to deal with him.

Feng Shuangli's actions were indeed a little inconsiderate.

Although the general will not be subject to the king's order outside.

But Feng Shuangli didn't discuss it with others.

Bai Wenxuan and Mu Tianbo are not under Feng Shuangli's identity and qualifications.

Feng Shuangli didn't give them face at all, and insisted on leading his troops north to attack Hanzhong.

If this is down, it is easy to say, Zhu Youlang has at least one step down.

But Hanzhong was not defeated, so Zhu Youlang had to treat Feng Shuangli's crime.

If he doesn't punish Feng Shuangli, even if the official doesn't say anything, it will bury hidden dangers in the future.

The generals all support their troops and have no scruples, don't they return to the situation in the last years of Chongzhen?

It was not easy for Zhu Youlang to move the situation back a little, so naturally he didn't want to waste his previous efforts.

Feng Shuangli naturally couldn't be killed.

Of course, this is because Feng Shuangli did not commit crimes to death, and there is another reason, that is, Zhu Youlang is afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers.

After all, Feng Shuangli's identity is the former general of Xiying, and if Zhu Youlang executes Feng Shuangli, it will definitely cause a chain reaction.

However, the punishment should not be too light, otherwise it will not have a deterrent effect.

Zhu Youlang is very difficult.

Thinking about it, only the court staff is the most suitable.

"King Qingyang, are you guilty?"

Zhu Youlang didn't think about going around in circles with Feng Shuangli, and asked straight to the point.

"The criminal is guilty, and the criminal should not lead the army to attack Hanzhong without authorization."

"It's good to know."

Zhu Youlang sighed and said, "If this kind of thing happens, I can't even if I don't want to punish you." If I don't punish you, it's not enough to block the mouths of the officials, and it's not enough to block the mouths of the people of the world. ”

"The guilty begs Your Majesty to punish him severely."

"I have made up my mind, and I ordered the Jinyi guard to give you fifty canes and a fine for one year. Go to the king of Qingyang and change it to Duke Anguo. Do you have any objections? ”

Feng Shuangli was actually ready to be sent to the army. There is a way that capital sins can be avoided, but living sins are unforgivable. Filling the army was already the best result he could think of.

But he never thought that His Majesty was still protecting him, but he was just demoted.

For a while, Feng Shuangli was speechless in surprise.
