"You say severe punishment, how is it a severe punishment?" The emperor looked at Jiang Yunfan with interest.

Jiang Yunfan Dao; "The minister believes that he should be stripped of his status as a prince and degraded to a commoner exile to the frontier."

"Your Majesty, no!"

It was not Jia Shilang who spoke, but Hong Chengchou.

Emperor Qidao; "Hong Shangshu. Tell me why not. ”

"Your Majesty, after all, he is the eldest son of King Lu, and this time he was specially sent to give gifts to the Queen Mother, which shows King Lu's love for him."

Hong Chengchou took a few steps forward and said in a low voice; "After all, King Lu has an army of 100,000 troops, and now is not the time to tear his face with him, a small punishment is enough."

Emperor Dao; "Then tell me, how to punish the law?"

"Rush back to King Lu's fiefdom, let him not take a step out of the fief for ten years, and give King Lu a reason for lax discipline, so that he will also think about it behind closed doors, and he will not be allowed to leave the house within three years."

The Emperor nodded and asked; "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that this method was the most effective, and King Lu was not allowed to leave the house for three years, which was good for the court and the world.

"Minister, I don't think it's appropriate." Jiang Yunfan stood up, "What a big crime to flirt with the queen, if it is dealt with so simply, wouldn't it make the people of the world laugh and the kings of all the vassal clans laugh?" ”

"Hmph." One person came out and mocked: "Jiang Vice Capital Imperial History, under such a great favor of the emperor, King Lu must be grateful to Dade, and the people of the world must be moved by the emperor's benevolence, it will be the same as Jiang Vice Capital Imperial History." ”

Jiang Yunfan Dao; "This lord, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, what do you mean to be the same as me," he turned his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the royal face, and it must be severely punished, even if it is not exiled, it must be stripped of his status as a prince and reduced to a commoner." ”

"Jiang Du Yushi, what are your intentions in provoking royal relations like this!" One person came out and pointed at Jiang Yunfan and said angrily.

Jiang Yunfan looked at this person and said strangely: "This lord, I have provoked the royal relationship there, is it possible that I can't let the prince of King Lu to molest the queen?" ”

The man said coldly; "I think the eight achievements are"

Jiang Yunfan asked rhetorically; "Dare to frame the court officials without any evidence, what is the intention of the adult?"

"You!"

"I see that the adult also received the money from King Lu, so sparing no effort to help him, even framing the official, I think the adult must have collected a lot of money."

The man looked at the emperor and said; "Your Majesty, the minister wants to participate in a copy of the imperial history of Jiang and the vice-capital."

Jiang Yunfan glanced at him disdainfully: "The wicked sue first." ”

The man ignored him, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yunfan doesn't understand etiquette, he talks nonsense in the court, ignores the imperial power, and provokes the relationship between His Majesty and the princes, and his heart can be punished." He begged His Majesty to revoke his official position and put him in prison. ”

"Minister, second."

"Minister, second."

“……”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of ministers knelt down to second.

The emperor glanced at Jiang Yunfan to see what he said.

Jiang Yunfan said: "Your Majesty, look at these ministers, you will never let go of an opportunity to suppress dissidents, the ministers are just abiding by their duties and telling their words, and these ministers can't wait to come out and I will put me to death." ”

Jiang Yunfan suddenly exclaimed bitterly: "Your Majesty, the court is in danger!" Your Majesty. ”

The emperor glanced at Li Junqing, and he had no choice but to come out and say: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that what Jiang Du Yushi said is a bit reasonable, molesting the queen is a capital crime, and now it is just a matter of cutting off the title, presumably King Lu will thank Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty." Hong Chengchou stood up again and said: "The title must not be reduced, this is tantamount to giving them a signal that His Majesty intends to cut the feudal domain again." ”

"Jokes." Jiang Yunfan said disdainfully: "The sin is like this, if they don't cut it, they will be wary and feel that His Majesty is appeasing, they, then why appease?" Still waiting to catch them all? ”

"At this time, the title was cut off, and it was also to let them know that His Majesty would not touch them for no reason."

Hong Chengchou said angrily; "What a encounter"

"It's better to meet than to be stupid," Jiang Yunfan glanced at the voice that only a few people could hear, and said, "Idiot." ”

Hong Chengchou glanced up at him, there was no look in his eyes, and he said with a pale face: "Zhuangyuanlang's strategy of cutting the feudal domain has already spread all over the major feudal kings, do you think they don't know?" ”

"Oh-" Jiang Yunfan said to the emperor as if he had suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, that would explain why these ministers put me to death, this must be the instructions of those vassal kings." ”

The kneeling ministers hastened to speak; "The ministers have absolutely nothing to do with those vassal kings"

"Lord Hong, what about you?" Jiang Yunfan looked at Hong Chengchou with a smile.

"Ha, useless subtotal." Hong Chengchou laughed disdainfully.

Jiang Yunfan said suddenly; "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered a trivial matter."

Emperor Dao; "What's the matter? Say. ”

"A few days ago, when the prince of King Lu saw the minister, he asked the minister a word?"

"What?"

"He asked the minister, 'Are you Jiang Yunfan?' When the minister replied 'yes,' he was to kill the minister. ”

And just now, Hong Shangshu said that the minister's decision to cut the feudal domain has been known to the vassal kings of the world, but the ministers know that this is written by the minister, and it has not been ten days, so? How did these vassal kings know? And it takes seven days for King Lu's fief to come here non-stop, so how did he know in advance that I wrote the article? ”

"Now I know, only Zhou Tiru and Qian Zhiliang are known."

Jiang Yunfan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there must be other people in the court, and the relationship with those vassal kings is by no means simple. Zhou Tiru refused to explain for a long time, even if someone saved him, the position of the person who could save him must not be low, and the minister felt that he was among the six books."

Jiang Yunfan's eyes slowly looked at Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was also a little flustered at this time, he was afraid that His Majesty would feel that it was him, after all, he really said a lot.

Kneel down at the moment; "Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, please enlighten Your Majesty."

"Get up." The Emperor raised his hand, "Everyone, get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone got up, the emperor said, "Let's talk about the sins of King Lu first, and then talk about the rest." ”

"Cut the title and exile the frontier, do you have any objections?"

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

Now naturally no one dares to object, the charge of a private vassal king hangs above his head, isn't it true to plead for him at this time.

"Then what should I do, Jiang Yunfan."

"The minister is here."

"Go and proclaim."

"Yes."

Jiang Yunfan withdrew from the main hall and came to the prison under the guidance of the eunuch.

After all, the prince of Luwang is the royal family, even if he is in prison, the treatment is the highest, and he eats and drinks well.

When the prince of King Lu saw someone coming, he glanced at it casually, and when he saw Jiang Yunfan, his eyes suddenly became evil.

"Prince Lu, don't come over quickly and listen to the order."

King Lu's eyes lit up, thinking that he could go out, and came over and said, "Did the emperor let me go?" ”

"Bold!" Jiang Yunfan glared at him angrily, "Kneel down and listen to the order." ”

"Just you?" The disdainful way of the prince of Lu; "You don't deserve me to kneel."

"Someone." Jiang Yunfan shouted.

"My lord, what do you command?" Several jailers ran over.

Jiang Yunfan pointed to the prince of Lu Wang inside and said: "Give me ten boards first, the emperor's will, no one dares to stand and listen." ”

"Yes."

After a few howls, King Lu knelt down angrily and glared at Jiang Yunfan, "Wait for me to go out, I will definitely kill you." ”

"You'd better mind your own business."

Jiang Yunfan hugged his fists like an emperor and gestured, lightened his voice, and said: "Your Majesty's dictation, King Lu's son Chang Bo dared to tease the queen with words, despised the imperial power, and should have been executed, but remembering a trace of blood and family affection, he specially spared his death, and only cut off the title of my prince and sent it to the frontier, and he was here." ”

"What!" After hearing this, the prince of King Lu was full of disbelief, "You lie to me, you dare to lie to me." ”

"Someone, someone, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty."

"Look at him." Jiang Yunfan left the prison after saying to a few jailers.

It was Lan'er who was standing outside the door waiting for him.

Lan'er Yingying said; "Your Excellency, please come with me."
