Xue Lang spoke up and arched his hand: "Sage, the ministers have the responsibility of supervising the imperial history, admonishing the king, and inspecting the subjects, and have the right to hear about the news." As the imperial historian, Pan Deqing's participation is to exercise the duty of a supervisor, but what he says and does is not to do his duty. The saint punished him in order to warn future generations, not to set a precedent of 'being guilty of words and killing people for words', please think twice! ”

It's not that Xue Lang both hit people and wants to be a holy father to play forgiveness, killing Pan Deqing is a small person, but the consequences of killing him are likely to lead to the consequences of no one daring to make a direct admonition and a blocked speech in the future supervision of the imperial history, then he Xue Lang will become a sinner through the ages. That's not what Xue Lang intended!

When Xue Lang's words fell, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and Li Gang also reacted, and said directly: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

The sage waved his hand, motioned for the guards to let go of Pan Deqing, and turned his head to ask Xue Lang: "Youyang is reasonable, so what do you think should be done with Pan Deqing?" ”

Xue Lang said: "The minister thinks that the word supervision should be the same as that of supervising the imperial history, and it is not advisable to only supervise without supervision, and it is not good to only supervise without supervision." Therefore, in order to warn the latecomers, the minister suggested that Pan Deqing be removed from his post and punished for his negligence; However, in view of his courage and courage in even making great achievements, the first princess in history to add the word "Anguo" before the title, he can be rewarded with a year's salary. Moreover, Princess Shen is right, what is wrong is not to find out the inside story, vainly trying to suppress Daren with small benevolence, and confusing the public with fallacies, in order to warn future generations, Pan Deqing should be punished and never hired. To sum up, several crimes were punished together, and the merits and demerits were offset, Pan Deqing was dismissed from his post and no longer hired! ”

"Whoa!" ——

It was the sound of the saints clapping and the sound of the ministers clapping the wat board!

The sage said: "The eight characters of judging right and wrong, forgetting selfishness for official purposes, Xue Lang can deserve it today!" I was furious today, and I wanted to kill Pan Deqing and warn future generations! However, what you said is extremely true, you can't let your words be blocked for the sake of a Pan Deqing, and you can't gain or lose, isn't it putting the cart before the horse! Okay, according to what Youyang said, from now on, Pan Deqing will be dismissed from his official position, repatriated to his hometown, and will not be hired again! As for the reward for one year...... It's enough, it's enough to reward two months! I want everyone in the world to know that my emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not a king who cannot admonish, as long as you are reasonable, what you say is good, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, I can accept it with an open mind! "My Emperor Shengming!"

The ministers saluted in unison.

The sage's face finally showed a smile after a day, looked at Xue Lang who saluted with the ministers, and said: "Xue Lang does not attach importance to personal grievances, can act with a public heart, and has meritorious advice, and rewards a pair of jade bi, a pair of jade Ruyi, and silk silk!" In addition, my son Pingyang is dedicated to the country, and he was framed for no reason, which is really innocent, and he also appreciates a pair of jade, a pair of gold Ruyi, and a thousand silk horses! ”

"Whoa!"

The Ministry of Rites official immediately wrote it down. Xue Lang saluted and thanked him: "Minister Xue Lang thanks the saint for the reward!" ”

The sage smiled and said: "I saw you and Pan Deqing arguing in court today, and I thought that you wanted to avenge Pingyang and uphold justice for her. ”

Xue Lang said: "Back to the saint, it is not a minister to repay grievances with virtue, Confucius once said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?" In private, not afraid of the jokes of the saints and the princess, the princess and I are about to become husband and wife, protect the princess, avenge the princess, and uphold justice, it is the duty and responsibility of the husband, so the minister will refute Pan Deqing in the court and return the princess's innocent reputation! As far as the public is concerned, it is not possible to set a precedent for killing people because of words, if this case is opened, it is easy to kill a person, but if the way of words is blocked, it is difficult to open up the way of speech! If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, the minister does not resent Pan Deqing in his heart, it is not to judge right and wrong, and forget selfishness because of public affairs, but it is the lesser of the two powers, but I am sorry for the princess, she was wronged, but I can't retaliate back, and I should apologize to the princess! ”

Xue Lang's attitude is frank and straightforward, all from his heart, in fact, he is already thinking about how to ask Princess Pingyang for forgiveness! obviously said that he loved her, but because of one reason or another, he let go of the person who kidnapped her by morality, and he didn't do it at all!

"You kid......"

The saint's expression was a little complicated, and his tone was very emotional. Pei Lian, a good friend of the saint, smiled and said, "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!" ”

The saint asked him, "Where does my joy come from?" ”

Pei Lin said with a smile: "Congratulations to the saint for having such a good son-in-law as Xue Shilang, after getting married in the coming year, he will definitely be able to reconcile with Princess Pingyang of Anguo, help each other, and grow old!" ”

The sage laughed: "Pei Qing's family is reasonable! Hahaha! This matter should indeed be congratulated, my son Pingyang has worked hard, and finally met a lover, congratulations! Youyang and rest assured, I am Ayah, that is, an elder, in front of Pingyang, this matter will be handed over to me for you. ”

When Xue Lang heard this, he subconsciously refused: "The saint is kind, and the minister understands it, but if the saint is allowed to come forward and say it, wouldn't it be suspected of persecuting the princess!" Therefore, I beg the saint to leave this matter to the ministers themselves! ”

The saint was stunned, Pei Lin silently supported his forehead in his heart, this stupid horse, if this person gave him a son-in-law, he would definitely make his daughter think twice-

Such a stupid son-in-law is unacceptable, he will be angry!

The saint's expression was a little strange, and Xue Lang's eyes were quite unfathomable, he thought about it, and asked with concern: "How can Youyang want to apologize?" ”

Xue Lang was a little dazed: "Back to the saint, I haven't thought about it yet, hmm...... Is it better to write a letter? ”

"Ahem!"

This is King Qin accidentally choked on saliva, and his eyes looking at Xue Lang are quite strange-

In the past, although he was not a witty and flexible person, he also looked like a pearl of wisdom, calm and reliable, how could he be so stupid when he got along with a woman? Sister A, who is like an abyss, actually likes this one...... I never expected it!

The saint, the crown prince, the king of Qin, and the father and son of the Li family glanced at each other with vague eyes...... At this moment, there has gradually been a disagreement, and the father and son who are drifting apart have actually reached a consensus and smacked their tongue for their daughter's (Ah Mei or Ah Sister) weird taste!

Ignoring the complex psychological activities of the royal father and son, the ministers who tried to watch with a straight face only felt so tired, and felt that they were showing their affection to their faces! In these years, being a minister not only has to worry about state affairs, but also has to watch the royal princess and the concubine show their affection? It's so hard to be a minister!

In the end, the saint's eyes were strange, and his tone and demeanor seemed to be kind: "It is inconvenient to see each other before you get married, you can write a letter to explain, and I will ask someone to help you transfer it!" ”

Xue Lang immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, saint!" ”

So, when Princess Pingyang received Xue Lang's so-called explanation and apology letter the next day, the expression on her face seemed to be smiling, her eyes seemed to be disgusted, inexplicable, and her mood was indescribable.
