Chapter 172: Imperial Discussion
The next day, the morning meeting.
There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.
What the prince did shocked the entire Chu country, although the news from the Chu palace that the prince would not be deposed, but was just ordered by the king of Chu to think about his own mistakes, but how the king of Chu gave an explanation to the Chu country, today's court meeting will be officially announced.
Before the king of Chu spoke, no one in the hall spoke, and they all waited for the king of Chu to speak.
Xiong Huai sat on the throne and was silent for a long time, before he looked sad and slowly said to the ministers: "A few days ago, there was a big scandal in my Chu country, which caused the tragic death of Xiang Chengjun's family because of the crown prince. โ
"There are three real culprits in this matter, and now Pan Jun and An Lingjun, because of their respective sons, have gone to Huangquan to make amends to Xiangchengjun."
"The widow thought about it last night, in the future, under the Yellow Spring, if Xiang Chengjun and the soldiers who died in the Danshui battle come to serve the widow again, how should the widow face Xiang Chengjun!"
"The king, the ministers are guilty..." All the ministers fell to the ground and bowed down.
"What a crime!"
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai thought of Xiang Chengjun's suicide, if it weren't for the princes of Pan Jun and An Lingjun who spoke in the face of the prince and wanted to let the prince win over Xiang Chengjun, why let Xiang Chengjun be humiliated by the prince.
Unlike An Lingjun, who relied on his face, and Pan Jun, who relied on speculation, Xiang Chengjun has always relied on his ability to eat, and Xiang Chengjun, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, when does he need to be in the same stream with people like An Lingjun, Xiang Chengjun, who thought that he had shamed his ancestors, was ashamed and angry, his self-esteem was broken, and he committed suicide.
The prince's group of people tried to win over Xiang Chengjun, who was very influential in the military, but caused a big disaster.
Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "Ling Yin, I don't know how to deal with this matter?" โ
Jing Li replied: "King, the prince is the foundation of a country, although the prince is guilty, but the second culprit of this matter has been ambushed, and Pan Jun and An Lingjun apologized for their crimes with death, so they ordered the prince to meditate on his own mistakes." โ
According to the tradition since ancient times, the punishment is not (respectful) to the doctor, and the courtesy is not inferior to the (humble) people.
But the prince of the country and half of the monarch are not among them, whether it is the strict Qin law formulated by Shang Yang before, or the Han law after that, whether it is the current King of Qin or the later Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, when he was the prince, he did something more headache-causing than this, but the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, just to say the expectations of the common people.
As for punishing the prince according to the law, this is simply impossible, for the prince, as long as he is still the prince, there will be no punishment, and if you want to punish the prince, it is to abolish the prince.
When Zhan Yangjun and Yin Jun and the others heard this, they immediately looked at Jin Jun, and as a result, Jin Jun closed his eyes in his position to recuperate.
Seeing that Jin Jun, who had suffered the greatest loss, did not come out, in desperation, Yin Jun, who was second only to Jin Jun in terms of loss, came out and said: "Great King, what Ling Yin Zhiyan said is very true, the prince, as the prince of the country, can be ordered to close his eyes and think about it." However, the minister thought that Ling Yin, as an auxiliary minister, and at the same time had the duty of teaching the prince, there was such a big tragedy in Yingdu, Xiang Chengjun died tragically, Pan Jun An Lingjun committed suicide, and the important minister Tingli committed suicide, so that Yin Jingli was incompetent and negligent, and it was difficult to escape the blame, and asked the king to dismiss Ling Yin to correct the national law. โ
"The king, the minister thinks that what Yin Jun said is very true, please ask the king to dismiss Ling Yin." Zhan Yangjun and the others echoed.
Jing Li was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knew that this was revenge.
So, he immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "King, the minister is guilty." โ
Zhao Ju Zhao Yu followed: "The king, the minister is guilty. โ
The two of them, like Jing Li, are both ministers in charge of auxiliary politics, and they also have the responsibility of assisting in teaching, although Jing Li is Ling Yin, and all national affairs depend on him, but Zhao Ju and Zhao Yu are also jointly and severally responsible.
When the governor heard this, he immediately jumped out to oppose it, and he had already lost two feudal lords on his side.
Do you have to catch a Ling Yin?
Xiong Huai looked at the noisy ministers and couldn't help sighing.
It's just that if you really do what Yin Jun and others say, and remove the three Jing Li, then the Chu State will lose three important ministers at once, and the government will definitely be chaotic for a while, which is obviously very unfavorable to itself.
But if Yin Jun and others make suggestions, as the king of Chu, he doesn't do anything, it will make Feng Jun centrifuge.
Just like after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty killed the prince of Wu, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not say anything, but the result was that the king of Wu said that he was sick from then on and completely centrifuged.
How to protect the order Yin and the others, Xiong Huai thought about it carefully and decided to follow the example of King Chu Zhao.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai coughed lightly twice and interrupted the ministers: "The secretaries love the widow, and the widow knows it. Whether you raise or not, the father's fault, and the prince's fault are all due to the fact that the widow has not been educated well, where is the need for Xianqing to transfer the guilt of the widow to the general. โ
"In the past, Zeng Yun, the first king of my Chu State, King Zhao: The general of the country is a confidant and a sibling, and the punishment is transferred to his siblings, isn't it the loss of my Chu State, this kind of thing King Zhao is unwilling to do, and the widow is also unwilling to do it."
"The King..."
As soon as they heard that the king of Chu blamed himself for this incident, the ministers were all shocked, disappointed, confused, excited, and moved.
Xiong Huai did not give the ministers time to reflect, and continued: "So the widow decided to personally go to worship the two Xiangchengjun three days later, and the sacrifice Wen Chen said the widow's fault in order to apologize to Xiangchengjun. โ
This kind of fault occurs in the courtiers, and it can be self-imposed or dismissed, but if it is the fault of the monarch, it is very different.
As for the farce of learning Cao Cao to be the head of the ship, Xiong Huai just swept a wisp of thought in his mind, but he didn't dare to mention it, these years pay attention to the death of the monarch and the minister, if Xiong Huai really proposed to carry out a very humiliating punishment on himself, then Jing Li, the prince and others can only apologize with death.
After all, it was not the fault of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu personally apologized on behalf of the crown prince, which was enough for Xiang Chengjun's lineage.
Just when the others were still shocked and worshiped the King of Chu in person, Jin Jun suddenly said excitedly: "How benevolent the king is, in the past, my Chu State was attacked by the Wu State, and almost perished, and it is precisely because of the benevolence and righteousness of King Zhao that my Chu State is revived." Now that the king has defeated the two countries of Qin and Qi, he has dominated the world, but he is still willing to attribute the fault to himself. โ
โยทยทยทโ
The ministers were stunned, Jin Jun's words in the first half were fine, but the second half seemed to be incoherent.
Offering family heirlooms, what does Jin Jun want to do! Why did you suddenly remember this?
Was he really moved by the King of Chu?
โยทยทยทโ Xiong Huai also looked at Jin Jun, who didn't play according to the routine, and asked, "I don't know what Jin Jun means?" โ
When Jin Jun heard this, he once again appeared in his mind the scene of the light in the eyes of King Chu yesterday, although the King of Chu did not mention it yesterday, but the blazing heat in the eyes of King Chu made Jin Jun not sleep all night, although his sword was not too domineering, and he was also not as famous as Zhan Lu, but who would dislike his treasures.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, I can only endure the pain of love.
Just the thought of making a big windfall from the King of Chu made Jin Jun much more comfortable.
And, but fortunately, what I said to the King of Chu yesterday was that I only created a sword...
