Chapter 375 Who will be responsible?
In the royal court, at this time, everyone knew that Ji Fa was not only guilty of this matter, but also meritorious, and all the ministers hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Qi, the second prince's move is really beneficial to the foundation of the country, and it is really a blessing for me Xiqi, and I also ask the prince to reward the second prince." ”
When Ji Chang heard this, he was silent, and his eyes already flashed with approval, obviously the words of the ministers were exactly what he wanted.
"Don't!" The person who stopped him turned out to be Ji Fa himself, he deserved to be the king's asset, and at this time, he naturally knew how to perform the play to make it more beautiful, and he couldn't wait to add drama to himself.
The queen and San Yisheng created such a good opportunity for him, if he didn't grasp it tightly and seek more benefits for himself, he would be ashamed of the two of them.
Without waiting for Ji Chang to speak, he hurriedly said: "Father, although the son's move is kind, but after all, he used the treasury privately to bribe the minister, violating the law of the country. also asked his father to deal with his sons and ministers according to the law, otherwise his sons would be at peace and would no longer be able to face the people of Xiqi. ”
After saying that, he knelt down heavily again, grabbed his head and said: "Although the ministers said this for the good of their sons, they are actually trapping their sons and ministers in injustice, and I ask my father not to listen." ”
Ji Chang and the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Ji Fa with complicated expressions.
Let's see, what is the real sage, this is what is in front of him, even if he is dedicated to the country, pure and filial, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are pleading with him, and the prince himself has forgiven him, but he still has the law of the country in his heart. violated the law of the country, even if everyone in the world forgave him, he himself would not forgive himself, and still had to ask for punishment, ancient and modern kings, it is nothing more than that.
After being silent for a long time, Ji Chang showed a satisfied look on his face, turned around and asked Mao Sui: "Doctor Mao, how should this crime be punished according to law?"
How to punish the greedy treasury and bribing the ministers, according to the law, the family property should be confiscated, and the army should be confiscated, but Mao Sui is not a fool, so he naturally can't say this, so he said: "Back to the prince, the second prince should receive fifty court rods for this move, so as to set an example." ”
After saying this, many ministers looked sideways, and they naturally realized that something was wrong, but in this situation, no one spoke out to correct it, and even felt that the guilt that Mao Sui said was too heavy.
When Ji Chang heard this, he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard San Yisheng on the side interject: "Lord, Weichen is also responsible for this matter, how can he only punish the second prince alone? ”
At this time, Huang Xue on the side couldn't help but pout, this is the real officialdom old fritters, as long as the twenty rods of San Yisheng are taken down, Ji Fa will succeed to the throne in the future, and his position will be as stable as Mount Tai, but I am afraid that no one can shake it!
Ji Chang nodded, pondered for a long time, and said: "Yes, the doctor is also guilty, but Fa'er is to rescue this king, so he will violate the law of the country, and this king also has the crime of not being strict with his godson, this court staff, this king should also receive ten rods." The son's debts are repaid by the father, and the money that is missing from the son should naturally be made up by the king, and the treasury should not be empty. ”
At this moment, the ministers were really shocked and inexplicable, with Ji Chang's identity and age, he was beaten with ten rods, not to mention that it would damage the dignity of the royal family, but he was afraid that he would give half his life, how could this be done?
Dozens of ministers of the royal family, under the leadership of Prince Ji Zheng, prayed: "How can the sons and daughters see their father being punished? ”
Ji Chang nodded, looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and said: "Don't persuade everyone anymore, the princes' filial piety is commendable, and the king is very comforted in his heart. In this case, among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, all the people of my Ji family received ten rods for themselves, and this king also received five rods for himself, according to the national law. At noon tomorrow, the execution will be carried out outside the noon gate, and the people of Xiqi should be invited to come and watch it. ”
Seeing Ji Chang's resolute attitude, everyone naturally didn't dare to speak again, and bowed one after another, even calling the prince virtuous.
Huang Xue on the side was secretly taken aback when she saw that things had developed to such a situation.
, Ji Chang's hand is really slippery, not only strictly correcting the code, buying people's hearts, but also letting the royal family of Xiqi be beaten together. In this way, as long as the executioner is not a fool, he is afraid that even if he hits a thousand rods, he will not break a layer of skin, this kind of thing, there is no need to worry about it at all, and it is no wonder that no one persuades him anymore.
But at this time, as the only outsider, she couldn't help but say something, so she could only get up and say: "The prince's punishment is strict, and the palace admires it very much. The palace was a little tired, so he went back to rest and didn't disturb the prince's affairs. ”
After speaking, she saluted Ji Chang, and then turned around and left with Long Xuhu and Lei Zhenzi.
Just now she admitted that she had accepted a bribe of 400,000 yuan, but at this time she was a little worried, in case she stayed for a long time and was beaten by Ji Chang and them, she would not be able to draw it if she was accompanied by a few sticks. As the queen, she is really not in the mood to accompany Ji Chang's family to act.
Huang Xue did not go to see the execution scene on the second day, but it is said to be spectacular.
Not only were the people of the Ji family in Xiqi City beaten, but it is said that there were also people who rushed back from other places to find a beating. At this time, it must be a kind of honor and political capital to accompany Ji Chang and Ji Fa to be tortured together, and even Mao Sui and them, who were sons-in-law, are said to have climbed onto the execution table crying and shouting.
At the end of the beating, it is said that everyone wailed and shook the sky, and several people were knocked unconscious. But this is to deceive ordinary people, Huang Xue didn't believe it at all, she bet that the most tired people at the end of the day must be those executioners, who can not really fight, but also have to fight well, this job is really not something ordinary people can do.
But the best acting skills have to be regarded as Ji Fa, I heard that he was beaten with ten rods, spit blood in his mouth, and refused to come down, he had to be beaten with fifty rods before he fainted, and was carried down, a proper actor level.
Of course, it is also possible that it is true that everyone was punished, but Huang Xue admits that he has a dark psychology, so he will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Anyway, after this trouble, everyone praises Ji Chang and his son, Ji Fa is definitely the biggest beneficiary, in addition to the reputation of being virtuous, he also has the title of the world's first filial son, and now his reputation is far from being comparable to Ji Dan.
After this incident, the most angry people were naturally Shen Gongbao and Bai Jian, who made a painstaking plan, but it backfired, and the breath in their hearts was naturally unbearable. However, in this situation, they didn't have any good plans for a while, so they had to lie dormant first and wait and see what happened.
The final result of this matter is that five days later, Ji Fa recovered and rebelled against the dynasty and continued to build the mourning platform, and Ji Chang also made it clear that he had reported the canonization document of the prince to the court, waiting for the approval of the imperial court, if there was no accident, Ji Fa would be officially canonized as the son of the world at the harvest festival in early September.
Of course, at this time, no one will care about what kind of panacea Ji Fa, who was beaten to the death of that day, to recover so vigorously in just five days.
At this point, the battle between King Wen of Zhou and the prince of Zhou finally came to an end, and with the help of Huang Xue and San Yisheng, Ji Fa defeated his opponent Ji Dan with an absolute advantage.
