β»β»β»
In the glorious and solemn Jinluan Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials are arranged in order of rank, waiting for the emperor's holy words to be judged. [No pop-up novel network]
At present, the crimes committed by Li Shizi are clearly revealed, and Jia Peng, who was originally helping Prince Li's mansion to speak, has completely changed the direction of the wind today.
Not only did he say, 'Fortunately, the old prince has passed away, otherwise he would not have been able to give such an obstacle to death!' And repeatedly asked the emperor to be at once
Decree to kill Lishao and his henchmen.
also said that he was deceived by Li Shao's clever words before, thinking that General Jing really hurt people, so he would defend him. Jia Peng tried his best to make a look of righteous indignation, eager to resign, so that other officials spoke out to persuade him.
The Prime Minister, who said that the other party was so cunning and generous, was not his opponent.
Ai Qing was deeply surprised by this, because Jia Peng had been obstructing him from punishing Lishao, and he thought that he was going to fight the prime minister today, seeing that Jia Peng could uphold justice, his locked brows finally relaxed.
After the audience set an example, and implored the emperor to send a gift, Aiqing thought about it and said, "The plaque of the old prince is still hanging on the street of the old palace, so let Lishao, an unfilial descendant, kneel under the plaque for three days and reflect on himself." The property of the shop that he seized will be returned to others in double. β
"Moreover, it is easy to take the head of a wicked man, but it is even more difficult to atone for his sins. I abolished the title of son of Lishao and sent him to the western frontier as a hard laborer, and I asked him to use his own labor and the years of his life to atone for the crimes he had committed. Lishao will be dealt with together with the party! As for the other Li families, I hope they will remember the lesson, and they must no longer rely on their relatives to do evil, insult their families, and harm others and themselves after all! β
The hall was filled with Aiqing's righteous and awe-inspiring voice, and the ministers did not express their position for a while, maybe there has not been such a generous execution in the past.
If the Emperor Taishang buys it, he will definitely kill Li Shao and his comrades. will also raid the home of Prince Li's mansion and make an example of him.
"The emperor is wise!" Jia Peng was the first to speak, and all the ministers knelt on the ground, all shouting, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
"Let's all be flat." Being able to solve this case so smoothly, without even having to summon Na Lishao, it was solved so quickly, Aiqing was very happy, and even couldn't hide the excitement in his heart to look at Jing Tingrui, but found that he was still solemn and didn't accept it
Stuffy.
"Your Majesty, although the matter of Lishao has been completed, there are still things to be done." Jing Tingrui came out of the queue at this time, knelt straight down and said, "Please also ask the emperor to punish Weichen." β
"What?!" Not only Aiqing, but everyone else was surprised, isn't this General Jing the hero of this case? It was he who stopped the murderer in the market, and thus exposed the great sin of murder committed by this man.
"As an official of the imperial court, Weichen should abide by the laws of the country and strictly follow the ethics of his family, however, the minister's family privately accepted bribes from the sinner Li Shao to expand the faΓ§ade of his own palace, so that Li Shao shouted out of Prince Jing's mansion on the street, which really disgraced the royal family!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Originally, everyone turned a blind eye to this matter. The relatives of the emperor corresponded with each other and received benefits from each other, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but it was ancient times.
"This ......." Aiqing also heard Qingyun mention this matter, but Nian Zaijing's Mansion did not interfere in the trial of the case, and Aiqing did not want to delve into it.
"Weichen is guilty, please ask the emperor to investigate carefully." Jing Tingrui spoke again.
"The matter...... I've heard of it, too. β
Aiqing had no choice but to say, "I am quite appreciative of your fair and selfless behavior, but it was only Jing Shizi's wedding that he received the money of Lishao, not the law." Not...... According to my will, Prince Jing should pay the bribes he received within three days and think about it behind closed doors for a month. As for Jing Qing's family, I was fined for half a year, which is a lesson. β
"The guilty minister bows to the emperor." Jing Tingrui bowed and returned to his original position.
The hall was silent, but all the officials peeked at Jing Tingrui, and some people secretly scolded him in their hearts, he was really wolf-hearted, and even his father had to participate in a copy. Some people secretly admired him for being able to "kill his relatives with righteousness", and he did not hesitate to pay for his own money.
Only Jia Peng glanced at Jing Tingrui quietly, and had other plans in his heart.
Next, it is still the disrepair of the embankment of the ancient city of Jiangbei County, Jia Peng said, "All the reconstruction silver taels have been in place, and the Ministry of Industry has also drawn new architectural drawings, and when the emperor decrees, people can be sent to Jiangbei County." β
"You guys did a good job, I will let Wang Yongji, Lord Wang go to this errand." Wang Yongji is a member of the Ministry of Works, 42 years old this year, he came out to receive the order, saying that he must live up to the holy order, and did not forget to praise Jing Tingrui, saying that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household were able to complete the fund-raising and reconstruction plan at the same time, thanks to the great help of General Jing.
Aiqing was very happy to hear this, and wanted to reward Jing Tingrui, but she punished him, and she felt out of place.
Then, another minister came out of the ranks, saying that the imperial city has been much more peaceful recently, and the royal guards are also much more relaxed, and they are no longer afraid of the fights and brawls of the people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't sleep.
This is also the credit of General Jing, and it is also the credit of the emperor, and all the ministers, except for Yan, have stepped forward to praise Jing Tingrui's courage and ability.
So, Aiqing smiled and wanted to reward Jing Tingrui with a year's salary, plus ten brocades, so that Jing Tingrui not only did not lose, but earned half a year.
However, Jing Tingrui politely declined, saying that it was natural for the court to do things and did not ask for rewards, although Aiqing was depressed, but she could only acquiesce.
After retreating from the court, Aiqing walked to the imperial study under the attendant of Xiao Dezi as usual, and Yan chased after him.
"Brother Huang, this Jing Tingrui is too faceless to give you!" Yan said loudly, as if he was holding his breath.
"Well, he's hurt for me, and he's right." Aiqing said.
"Why are you protecting him like that?" Yan looked even more aggrieved.
"The emperor is generous and benevolent, and he is fair, where is there to protect the ministers?" Suddenly, a cold voice came in, and the two of them gasped and turned around, sure enough, it was Jing Tingrui.
"Why not?" Yan simply went out and said, "The emperor went to see you in the middle of the night, and he was in danger because of you, but he didn't punish you at all, isn't this protecting you?" β
"Your Highness Yan, this kind of unwarranted thing, you are talking about it loudly here, do you want the emperor to punish you?" Jing Tingrui raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan coldly, "Or do you want to accuse the emperor of violating etiquette and law, and you actually had a private meeting with Weichen in the middle of the night......"
"Jing Tingrui, you bastard!" Yan was so angry that his face turned red, but there was also the anxiety that Jing Tingrui said and couldn't refute, he really couldn't talk nonsense under the porch, so as not to be heard.
But Jing Tingrui, who was the culprit, actually shirked it, which also made him angry
