Ling Kun pleaded guilty and accepted punishment without the slightest defense, this time it was Zhao Heng's turn to be stunned, so he took all the charges? Without a word of defense, aren't you afraid that I will kill him? Well, since you've admitted it, save me trouble. So he said: "Okay, in this case, spread my will, Ling Kun treasoned and collaborated with the enemy, bullied the king, despised military discipline, and the crime is unforgivable, but remembering his meritorious deeds in the past, and I will be benevolent, spare his capital crime, strip him of all official positions and titles, demote him to a concubine, and confiscate his family property." Ling Kun, what else do you have to say. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Ling Kun thanked him.

"Come on, give Ling Kun to me and beat me out with a stick, remember, this stick was beaten by the imperial sister of the Emperor of the Dynasty." Zhao Heng ordered.

"Your Majesty, slow down." Kou Zhun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, since Ling Kun has committed the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how can he be so lenient, he should be beheaded immediately to show the law of the country." ”

Zhao Heng hesitated a little and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has always been benevolent, and there has never been a precedent for killing ministers, so I really can't start this." ”

"Your Majesty, what kind of crime is there, the Great Song Dynasty has never had a criminal minister who committed treason and collaborated with the enemy."

All the ministers were a little dazed for a while, wasn't Ling Kun Kou Zhun's protégé, why did he want to kill him completely. Many ministers saw Ling Kun's gray face, and he changed from a prince to a concubine in one day, and they all had some sympathy for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Tongping Zhangshi Li Jilong is the most optimistic about Ling Kun, and once used the army to rob people in order to make him his son-in-law. Later, Ling Kun won several victories in the Liao State, he also heard about it, and he was deeply gratified in his heart, feeling that the Great Song Dynasty finally had a successor, and at this moment, seeing that Kou Zhun was about to kill them all, he opened his mouth and retorted: "Lord Kou, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, but you want the emperor to take back his life, the Great Song Dynasty ancestor system does not kill the minister, but you want the emperor to make an exception to kill people, where are you going to trap the emperor?" ”

"Master Li, you don't understand the situation......."

"Okay, I've made up my mind, retreat." Zhao Heng waved his hand.

The ministers knelt down in thanksgiving and dispersed.

Kou Zhun was in a hurry, and followed the emperor into the inner palace: "Your Majesty, Ling Kun can't let it go." ”

"Why can't you let it go? The official position, all the letters have been withdrawn, are you still afraid that he will make some big waves? Zhao Heng took a big sip of the teacup, he was in a hurry for the past few days, he didn't think about the tea and rice, and now it was finally over, and he felt a burst of relief in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is worried that Ling Kun is friendly with so many dignitaries from enemy countries, if he goes out from here and turns to other countries, with his ability, how can our generals be able to stop it."

"Hmph." Zhao Heng sneered and said: "Fighting a war depends on national fortune, army, and morale, how can one person be able to control it?" Don't you understand this? ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "The emperor is reasonable, Weichen is just not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

"The prime minister is too worried, go back and rest."

After Kou Zhun retreated, Zhao Heng stared at the teacup in his hand and did not move for a long time. He didn't kill Ling Kun because Ling Kun had saved him and Liu E's lives several times, and this throne was completely sat on by him, and now that he killed him, wouldn't it be like unloading the mill and killing the donkey? There is also the fact that he knows the relationship between Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue very well, in case Zhao Mingyue loses his anger one day and wants to see Ling Kun, but the person has been killed by him, wouldn't it kill her?

The big stick in the palace is not as good as Wan'an Palace, it is a real fight. After Ling Kun was beaten by a fat beating, he stumbled down the street, although he was scarred, he felt completely relaxed in his heart.

He ran all the way to Wan'an Palace, and knelt in front of the palace gate.

Seeing that Ling Kun was coming again, the guards hurriedly reported to the commander. The commander came out and smiled bitterly: "The palace ...... Oh, it's not the palace marshal, why are you here again, aren't you embarrassing us? ”

"My lord, please tell the princess that Ling Kun is guilty of pleading, if she doesn't forgive, I will kneel and die at the gate of this Wan'an Palace."

The commander said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go and report to you." ”

Zhao Mingyue had just finished bathing, changed her clothes, and finally looked like a princess. At this time, the commander came in and reported: "Queen Mother, princess, that Ling Kun is here again, kneeling outside the palace gate, saying that if the princess does not forgive him, he will kneel outside the door." ”

The Queen Mother was furious: "He's just a scoundrel, by the way, didn't the emperor cut off his head?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, news just came that he was dismissed from all his official positions and demoted to a concubine."

"It's cheap, a concubine, he wants to kneel to death in my Wan'an Palace, and if he wants to be beautiful, he will call me out again."

"Wait." Zhao Mingyue stopped, she may have cried too much these days, and her voice was already hoarse: "I'll go in person."

Drive him away. With that, he entered the room and took something and went straight to the palace gate.

Standing on the steps and looking down, I saw Ling Kun kneeling on the ground, his clothes were beaten to pieces, and his face was blue and purple, like a beggar. As soon as Zhao Mingyue's eyes were hot, she was about to burst into tears, but that scene immediately appeared in her mind: Ling Kun hugged the beautiful Shangguan Allure and kissed her, the expressions of the two of them being drunk and enjoying were vivid, and Shangguan Allure's bone-eating moans were still in her ears.

She gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice, "Ling Kun, what are you still doing here?" ”

When Ling Kun saw Zhao Mingyue come out, he was overjoyed and said, "Mingyue, you forgive me, I was wrong." ”

"Okay, I forgive you." Zhao Mingyue still said coldly.

"Really?" Ling Kun was overjoyed, and he stood up and was about to go up.

"Wait." Zhao Mingyue continued: "The incident of that day is your own private matter, and it has nothing to do with me, so I don't blame you. But Ling Kun, you have to remember your identity, you are just a house slave of mine, just like them, you used to be very capable, so I treated you a little better, now I feel that you are misbehaving, I am disappointed. As of today, I have decided to dismiss you. As he spoke, he threw a piece of white silk in front of Ling Kun and said, "You are free." ”

Ling Kun picked it up and saw that it was actually the contract of the three chapters of the law, so it seemed that Zhao Mingyue was determined not to forgive him.

"Mingyue, I was really drugged, it was a trap of Shu." Ling Kun tried his best to argue.

"Hmph." Zhao Mingyue sneered and said, "Flies don't bite eggs, I'm afraid you're happy to drill this trap." Okay, let's not talk about that, you can go. He turned around and left.

"No, Mingyue, you still haven't forgiven me." Ling Kun was in a hurry, and he actually performed light skills and blocked in front of Zhao Mingyue.

Zhao Mingyue stared at him coldly: "I said, I don't blame you anymore, what else do you want?" Do you want Princess Ben to marry you? You don't pee on your shadow either, are you worthy? A destitute man who wants to marry a princess? Sick. ”

Zhao Mingyue's words could not be described as vicious, with a sharp blade, Ling Kun was stunned on the ground, and he no longer dared to stop Zhao Mingyue.

Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly and led people into the palace gate.

Ling Kun stood outside the palace gate, picked up the white silk that exuded a faint fragrance, and burst into tears.
