Chapter 60: Rebuke
At present, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old emperor does not intend to severely punish Chen Hongmao and others, the prince has thrown out a 'scapegoat' at this moment, and with Ning Hong's 'brave loyalty', Jin Yuan knows that this matter is afraid that it will not be able to make much waves.
Sure enough, the old emperor frowned and pondered for a long time, then sighed heavily, raised his hand towards the imperial doctor, and said, "Chen Aiqing should get up first." You are seriously ill and have not recovered, although you don't notice this matter, but you are also kept in the dark, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, you better go back to recuperate with peace of mind. ”
The old emperor exempted the imperial historian from the crime of poor supervision in one sentence, although he was not punished on the surface, but he vaguely said in his words that Chen Hongmao would recuperate at home and temporarily put the court on hold.
All the officials are you, look at me, I look at you, and then lowered my head and said nothing.
However, when Chen Hongmao heard this, he wiped the corners of his eyes, and saluted the old emperor with a grateful look, and then stood up tremblingly.
"As for Ning Hong, although the mastermind behind the military horse incident has been caught, you are directly in charge, but you have given your subordinates the opportunity to cheat for personal gain, which is your dereliction of duty." The old emperor glanced at Ning Hong, who was kneeling on the ground.
Hearing this, Ning Hong's body shook, and his head fell lower.
The old emperor looked at the crown prince and the imperial doctor, and then changed his voice and said: "But you have been doing your duty for many years, and this time it is only the first offense, so I will punish you, think about it behind closed doors for three months, and deduct half a year's salary!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ning Hong kowtowed excitedly to the old emperor and shouted long live.
Ling Hua was very angry, and he couldn't wait to find the old emperor to theorize now, and ask him what about the soldiers who died on the battlefield? Does an heir want to send him?
However, the old emperor didn't give him this opportunity, and after punishing Ning Hong, when he stepped forward, he said majestically: "General Ling Hua repelled the enemy army, signed a peace agreement, blessed the land of my Yan country, and the people were safe. ”
"The generals at all levels below him have been promoted to one level, and the families of the dead soldiers should be comforted and settled."
Ling Hua was forced to block back by this series of rewards.
He didn't care about any first-class generals, but among the brothers who followed him from birth to death, who didn't come for the great military exploits, and those brothers who died.
Although the old emperor let Ning Hong and Chen Hongmao go, he could be regarded as having an explanation for him and his soldiers, and for the sake of his soldiers, Ling Hua endured it!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"
Ling Hua glanced at Jin Yuan apologetically, but Jin Yuan had already calmed down, his face had already recovered as before, he smiled faintly at him and nodded.
Of course, Jin Yuan understood Ling Hua's scruples, he understood and understood, Ling Hua was not alone, he still had thousands of soldiers under him.
I thought that the matter of the military horse would be severely punished, but I didn't expect it to fall down so gently, Jin Yuan has been busy these days, but in the end, it was such a result.
He is unwilling, but with him now, he can only endure it and wait for the future.
It's just that...... Ning Zhao's side.
She visited three or four times in disguise, and almost died, and she just wanted to bring Ning Hong to justice, but now that Ning Hong has been punished and closed for half a year, I don't know how uncomfortable she should be.
The early dynasty ended like this, Jin Yuan was thinking about Ning Zhao in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't see anyone again, he was really worried, Ning Zhao would not be able to accept it.
The gentle and modest Lord Jin was rarely able to sit still, and finally waited until it was dark, but he didn't expect Ning Zhao to rest, and the whole courtyard was dark.
Jin Yuan jumped down from the wall lightly, landed silently, raised his feet and walked to the door of Ning Zhao's bedroom, he didn't knock on the door, just stood quietly like that.
At this time in the past, Ning Zhao hadn't rested, but today she rested so early, Jin Yuan thought that she couldn't accept the final result of learning about the military horse, so she ......
That's it!
He wanted to see her.
Jin Yuan raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, but there was no movement in the house, he knocked again, this time there was, but it was the side room next to him that opened the door.
"Lord Jin? How did you get here? Qing Cicada rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at Jin Yuan blankly, and asked.
Jin Yuan said, "Is your young lady okay?" Yes...... Sad? ”
"Sad?" Qing Cicada looked confused and replied: "No, my young lady was drunk last night, and she was not comfortable all day today, so she just rested after dinner." ”
Hearing this, Jin Yuan was stunned at first - drunk? Does this girl still drink?
Then he grasped the point, his eyes lit up, and asked, "Your young lady is not in a bad mood because of other things, but she is drunk and uncomfortable so she went to bed early?" ”
"yes." Qing Cicada pulled his robe, still not quite understanding, Jin Yuan came here in the middle of the night to ask what he was doing with some nonsense.
"Is there something wrong with Lord Jin looking for Miss? I'll call her. As she spoke, she was about to come over and knock on the door, but Jin Yuan hurriedly stopped her.
Let her rest well and wait until tomorrow.
Jin Yuan made a decision, and said: "Tomorrow, at three o'clock, please go to Tianxiang Building to talk about it, and ask Miss Qingcicada to convey it." ”
Qing Cicada nodded, and wrote down the time well, Jin Yuan smiled, looked at Jin's closed door again, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.
Ning Zhao rested for a whole day, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside was dark.
She got up refreshed, Qing Cicada was cleaning the yard, and when she saw Ning Zhao getting up, she hurriedly went to get washing water.
After serving Ning Zhao to wash up, Qing Cicada remembered Jin Yuan's explanation last night, so he said: "Lord Jin came last night, but Miss was already asleep, and Lord Jin didn't let me wake you up." ”
"Jin Yuan has been here?" Ning Zhao's eyes flashed in the bronze mirror, and he asked, "Did he say anything?" ”
"Of course." The cicada grinned and said, "My lord, I will meet Miss in Tianxiang Building at three o'clock. ”
It's still early, but Ning Zhao can't hold it back.
At this time, Jin Yuan looked for him, but he didn't think about anything except the military horse.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhao could still sit still, he didn't care about breakfast, and went directly to Mrs. Ning's place.
As a result, I didn't see anyone this time, and I asked the girl who was waiting to know that Mrs. Ning was invited to the main hall by Ning Hong.
Yes!
Now that the matter of the military horse has a result, then Ning Hong ......
Ning Zhao's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and he didn't care about the rules or not, and went directly to the main hall.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Ning Zhao looked at Ning Hong, who was sitting on the main seat, and Ning Hong also saw her when he looked up, but he didn't say anything, and directly let her in.
"Zhao'er has seen grandma, father, mother." Ning Zhao blessed his body and said.
The oppressive atmosphere in the hall was so obvious that anyone could detect it, Ning Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Ning Hong, it was even worse than he imagined.
I saw that his forehead was wrapped in gauze, and there were faint traces of blood oozing, and his face didn't know whether he was in a bad mood or had lost too much blood, in short, it was extremely ugly.
Not to mention the Chen family, even Old Taijun Ning had a dignified face.
Ning Zhao was happy in his heart, but he couldn't see anything on his face, and asked suspiciously, "Father, what's wrong?" How did it hurt? ”
