Chapter 248: Demotion to the Lord

Just as Di Renjie guessed, Yuan Qi really asked the emperor for the obvious mistakes and omissions, and took the initiative to ask for a heavy punishment. The sect master's expression was excited, his face was full of repentance, and he had lived up to the emperor's trust.

After listening to Yuan Qi's excuse, Wu did not answer, there was not much expression on his vicissitudes of life, and the scene was quiet for a while. The superior always likes to release pressure in this silent way, observe, examine, and the effect is generally not bad, and people who have no psychological quality will definitely be deficient.

The emperor didn't speak, Yuan Qi and Yuan Hui could only kneel there honestly, not daring to shake their bodies much, passively waiting for the empress's judgment.

His eyes swirled over the father and son, and Wu Rao observed the performance of the father and son with interest. Yuan Qi's head was slightly lowered, and he could still see some expression, and he seemed to be a little nervous. As for Yuan Hui, his head is buried at the bottom and seems to be in a state of self-shutting.

After a long time, Wu spoke, and there was no emotion in his voice: "You are 'sincere', Di Huaiying's investigation results have not yet been submitted, so he took the initiative to admit his guilt"

"The ministers are not clear, the royal family is not strict, and the people of the tired Jiangdu are suffering from the evil slaves of the palace, and the people are resentful, and they have the grace of His Majesty, which is a great crime! Please send an edict to punish Your Majesty, and the minister will never complain! The emperor finally spoke, and with a slight sigh of relief in his heart, Yuan Qi asked again.

In fact, the sect master was still a little nervous in his heart. I hope the emperor doesn't go all the way

The corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a cold arc, Wu picked up the celadon teacup on the imperial case, took a sip, and did not pay attention to Yuan Qi, but looked at Yuan Langjun: "Yuan Hui, what do you think, how should I deal with my father?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Langjun is a spirit, how can he ask him such a thing

Seeing this, the ostrich obviously can't pretend. Silently calculated in his heart, listening to the tone of the empress, he should not die. Raising his head and glancing, he noticed Wu's gaze and quickly lowered his head.

He respectfully said a non-nutritious sentence: "Your Majesty, the facts are all there, and the guilty should be punished." Let Your Majesty punish him, the ministers and fathers will never dare to complain! ”

Listening to Yuan Hui's words, the empress chuckled, Yuan Langjun's tone, the feelings were quite sincere, and there was even a sense of praying for the emperor to hurry up.

"Your Majesty, Elder Di Ge asks to see you!" The emperor is still considering, and there is a gift to others.

"It seems that Di Huaiying has also had results!" Glancing at the Shangguan beauty on the side, Wu ordered: "Wan'er, you go and greet you!" ”

"Yes!" Bending down, Shangguan Wan'er turned away. When he missed Yuan Langjun, he glanced at him condescendingly, and his beautiful eyes were meaningful.

Knowing that Yuan Qi's father and son were in the audience, Di Renjie probably guessed his plan, and sighed silently in his heart. When he entered the palace, he looked at the father and son who were kneeling in front of the emperor with low eyebrows, and carefully paid attention to the emperor's expression, and he knew it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Ying Wangfu's encroachment on the people's land, the forcible plundering of the people, and the persecution of the civil servants have been investigated by the ministers and several parties. Now have a table to go, please Your Majesty to see! He spoke slowly, and took out the recital in his sleeve.

"Oh?" Raise your hand to gesture.

Immediately, an attendant stepped forward, took the music from Di Renjie's hand, bent down and held it high with both hands, and presented it to Wu.

I took it easily, opened it, and only skimmed it a little, and then put it on the top of the imperial case. Seeing the emperor's slightly perfunctory actions, Di Renjie probably understood the tone of the case

His eyes lowered, he looked at Di Renjie, and asked, "Di Qing thinks that what crime should be discussed and what punishment should be imposed?" ”

Facing Wu's gaze, the old fox seemed to think for a while, and the empress of Fang Dynasty bowed: "Although the crime of King Ying is not among the ten evils, the people's grievances are boiling and need to be quelled urgently. The sentencing is lenient, and His Majesty is single-minded! ”

In fact, Yuan Qi's crime is not excessive. However, today's elites and bureaucrats are innumerable compared to those who go too far. Although the Yonghui Law is clear, when it comes to relatives and nobles, it still depends on the emperor's attitude.

Knowing that Wu has the meaning of "let go", Di Renjie will not be hard topped, but carefully reminds the empress that the aroused public grievances need to be appeased, and the people's hearts must be taken into account.

After a slight bow and a moment of thought, the martial arts body moved. As soon as she moved, the father and son kneeling underneath were completely tense.

"Seize the prince of Qi Ying County, reduce to " The empress spoke, and said straightforwardly, the words came out, paused, and after thinking for a while, Fang said: "Demoted to the prince of Ying County, a fine of 50,000 catties of copper, in order to atone for his sins." Locked in the house for half a year, I thought about it behind closed doors"

After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Qi, and had been quietly paying attention to the emperor, and above the understanding, Yuan Qi immediately cried and bowed: "Thanks, admit the punishment!" ”

After listening to the emperor's disposition, Di Renjie frowned slightly, and spoke up again, reminding: "Your Majesty, there is another aftermath of the people of Bali Village and the civil servants of the pavilion!" ”

Hearing this, Wu looked at Yuan Qi.

Not daring to slack off, the sect master responded with a sense of the times: "It's all up to the ministers." If the land is occupied, all the land will be returned, and those who cannot can be repaid will be repaid by another place. The demolished houses were built at their own expense to resettle the villagers. Excessive use of service, resulting in injury or disability, shall be fully compensated"

Yuan Qi said in his mouth, but his heart hurt slightly. The goal was achieved, and when I came back to my senses, I was going to bleed profusely. 50,000 catties of copper! I finally saved up some money and threw it out, it hurts

"This matter will be handed over to Di Gong to supervise and execute!" Regarding Yuan Qi's attitude, the emperor seemed quite satisfied, nodded twice, and ordered.

"Yes!"

The hall was silent, and after a little thought, Wu looked at Di Renjie: "Di Qing, is there anything else you need to add?" ”

"There is a Yuan Mansion and a slave Yuan are equal, bullying people and running rampant"

Before he finished speaking, Wu directly knocked on the imperial case: "Deal with it according to the law!" ”

"So be it!" In a word, it has the effect of setting the tone. Di Renjie and the father and son both knew that this matter was over.

Quietly glanced at Yuan Qi, and saw his father short and grateful. This time, the sect master made the right bet.

"Stand down!" After finalizing the result, the empress seemed to be out of interest, and waved her hand: "Let's all step down!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!" The three saluted in unison.

After the three of them exited the hall, the empress leaned back, leaned gently on the back of the chair, and closed her eyes for a while.

Shangguan Meiren asked softly, "Your Majesty wants to go to bed?" ”

Just shook his head.

Seeing this, he waved his hand at the people waiting in the hall, and soon, the hall became quieter.

Shangguan Wan'er personally helped the empress sort out the case and felt the movement of the great beauty, and the empress asked quietly: "Wan'er, what do you think about the matter of Yuan Qi?" ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Shangguan Beauty's gorgeous face, and she replied in a determined tone: "Xiao He is stigmatized, why?" ”

Opening his eyes, Wu said lightly: "Then you think too highly of him, why is Yuan Qi compared to Xiao Xiangguo!" ”
