Chapter 494: Grace and Might

Listening to the words of plead from the two adults kneeling in the court, Zhao Ling still looked motionless, his eyebrows and eyes swept coldly over the faces of every courtier present, and he did not signal Jing Zhaoyin and Jing Giwei, who were kneeling in the court, to get up, but said in a slow voice, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who dare to set on murder and hurt people, and moreover, it is the court officials who are injured, but the security in this capital is really worrying." ”

Hearing the prince say this, Jing Zhaoyin and Jing Gi Wei's heads didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they trembled and muttered in their hearts: It's over, it's over! It seems that this life is really going to be saved.

As for the other courtiers, seeing that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face was pale at the moment, it was clear that he was angry, and he was frightened for a while and did not dare to stand up to intercede for these two adults, so he could only silently wipe his sweat for them in his heart.

In fact, everyone knows that the security of the capital has never been an easy errand to manage, although Jing Zhaoyin, who is kneeling in the hall at this moment, is not talented, but he is a rare and honest official, and he has been sitting in the Zhaoyin Mansion conscientiously over the years, and he can be regarded as diligent, no great merit but no great fault, and he can barely pass among the hundred officials.

As for the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard, although he is not as good as the commander Xiao Gangxiao who commanded the Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city, he is also a very good general, and there are tens of thousands of people in the Gyeonggi Guard, and under his management, he has almost never dared to bully the people, which is already a good result for a general; But unfortunately, horses have stumbled, people have misses, who would have thought that they would be so unlucky to encounter the assassination of the court officials under the nose of the prince.

There was such a big movement in Luofu last night, and Gyeonggi Wei and Kyung Zhaoyin should have gotten the news as soon as possible; But when they arrived with people, they heard that the prince had gone to Luofu and refused to meet him, and as for the murderer who assassinated Luo's second master, he hanged himself on the spot, except for a cold corpse lying there, leaving no evidence.

It's also thanks to these two adults that they are still sensible and see that there is a person behind the murderer, so they keep asking for orders in the court today, wanting to find clues through the corpse, so as to rescue the real murderer behind the scenes; In order to save his life, he didn't expect that the two knelt down one after another to ask for an order, but they didn't get a reply from the prince, but saw them hanging here.

At this time, the clever person immediately understood, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably not just angry this time, you know, this Luo Mansion is going to marry with the Xiwang Mansion, and the prince is a master who loves the younger brother, and the future father-in-law of the younger brother has now become like this, if you punish these two adults in the face of His Royal Highness King Xi, these two adults will really be a disaster.

Just when everyone was concerned and felt that these two adults were really going to be more than lucky, Zhao Ling's cold gaze finally fell on them, and said: "Actually, His Royal Highness is not a person who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, and he also knows that the two adults don't want to see this kind of thing happen, but right now, such a thing has happened, from the perspective of the two adults, what are you going to do?" ”

I thought I was going to go to a dead end, but I didn't expect that all of a sudden, the willows and flowers would brighten, and it immediately made the faces of Gyeonggi Wei and Kyung Zhaoyin happy, and they felt a little bit like the rest of their lives.

Jing Zhaoyin's mouth and kung fu are better than those of Gyeonggi Wei, who was born as a military general, and he was immediately elected by Gyeonggi Wei to speak on behalf of the two of them, saying: "Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, the murderer has just committed murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which can be seen to be very rampant, Weichen thinks that this person must be caught and severely punished; Last night, Wechen and the Grand Commander had carefully examined the murderer who was killed on the spot, and felt that this person was just a little minion, and behind him, there must be a real instructor controlling him; And this man is the most heinous of all; Wechen is willing to cooperate with the Gyeonggi Battalion of the Grand Commander from today onwards, and comprehensively inside and outside the capital, after layers of investigation, the real culprit behind the scenes will be found. ”

In order to reflect his decision, Gyeonggi Wei also nodded incessantly, and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the whole Gyeonggi camp is willing to cooperate with Lord Kyung Zhao Yin to have a cooperation between officers and soldiers, and they will not let go of the real culprit behind the scenes who dares to hurt Lord Luo." ”

Looking at the two adults who kept expressing their positions, Zhao Ling took two more steps slowly, and said in a calm voice: "What His Highness wants is not only to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, but also to assassinate the officials of the capital like this and never happen again; In the capital, there are the mansions of my emperor and hundreds of officials, and there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles, if you can't even protect the lives and safety of these people, and you can't do the things that eat the king's Lu and share the king's worries, that is, you are in a high position, not doing the right thing, and you are bullying the king; The two adults are also old men in the officialdom, and they should know that this crime of bullying the king is not so easy to bear. ”

As soon as Gyeonggi Wei and Kyung Zhao Yin heard this, they immediately became weak in fright, and kept pleading guilty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was standing on a high place; Look at that, it's really scary.

Actually, it's no wonder that these two adults are so afraid of the prince, since the prince regency, everyone can see that the future prince in front of him is definitely not a foolish master, if you want to deal with errands casually in front of him, then, this master can let you die casually.

Many times, after seeing the prince's drastic methods, many courtiers did not understand why a monarch with no great talent like Emperor Showa gave birth to a son with a diametrically opposite temperament; But then, after thinking of the environment in which His Royal Highness the little prince lived, everyone knew it.

went to the battlefield, went through the intrigue between brothers, and finally became the first person to win; If you want to achieve such an achievement, you can't just rely on luck to achieve it, after coming into contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, many people know the truth; That is, the master in front of him is not easy to serve.

Right now, seeing the two adults being in a mood of being told by His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a cunning rabbit who has been cornered, scurrying left and right to escape for his life, but he can't find the hole dug up.

Seeing this scene, Li Ze, the prince of Zhenguo, stood up, and after respectfully bowing to Zhao Ling, he said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister knows that the two lords are responsible for the injury of Lord Luo last night, but the assassination of Lord Luo is a sudden situation, and no one expected that there would be thieves who would dare to assassinate the officials of the court at the foot of the imperial city; And the two adults made timely arrangements after knowing that something had happened, which can be regarded as doing their best; At present, the minister thinks that the most important thing is not only to find a good doctor to treat Lord Luo, but also to catch the person behind the scenes who dares to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven; The two adults have been in charge of the maintenance of law and order in the capital for many years, and they know a lot about the inside and outside of the capital, and no one is more suitable than them to arrest the people behind the scenes; Therefore, the minister dared to recommend here, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decree and give the two adults a chance to atone for their sins. ”

Hearing what Li Ze, the prince of Zhenguo, said, several ministers immediately stood up and recommended; Jing Zhaoyin and Jing Giwei, who were trembling on their knees, looked at their colleagues who had stood up to intercede for them, and looked gratefully at Li Ze, the prince of Zhenguo, who was standing at the front, and his face almost shed old tears; It is said that adversity sees true love, and today they suffered this calamity, and many people avoided it, but they didn't expect that someone would stand up and intercede for them.

At this moment, a voice came from the hearts of the two adults at the same time: If they can escape this catastrophe, when they get off to the court, they will definitely do their best to drain the water around the capital, and they are bound to find out the real culprit behind the assassination of Lord Luo.

Zhao Ling stood tall at the head of the hundred officials, looking at Li Ze and the courtiers who stood up to intercede for the two adults, his eyes were slightly cold, cool as stars in the dark night, and said: "Since the Duke of Zhenguo and all the adults have opened their mouths to intercede, then His Royal Highness will give them a chance to atone for their sins; Kyung Zhao Yin and Gyeonggi Wei listen to the order! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"His Royal Highness will give you seven days, no matter what method you use within seven days, you must give an explanation to His Highness and Luofu, if you can't do it, don't use it to see Your Highness, take off your official robe, take your family, and get out of the capital directly."

"Weichen Command, Thanks!"

An early dynasty can be regarded as allowing the hundred officials to see Zhao Ling's vigorous methods again, thinking that the two adults in charge of the security of the capital almost lost their lives in the court because of the emergency situation last night, and the hundred officials couldn't help but sweat coldly; In the future, when dealing with his work, he will be more cautious and conscientious, for fear that he will accidentally follow in the footsteps of the two adults.

After getting out of the court, Li Ze found an opportunity to come to Zhao Ling, and after respectfully and politely saluting, he looked at the prince in front of him with a smile, and said: "Your Highness's method of punishing a hundred people is really becoming more and more perfect, and even the ministers were almost deceived by your methods." ”

Zhao Ling knew that with Li Ze's intelligence and intelligence, it was a little impossible for him to hide from him.

Although he was very angry because of Luo Cheng's injury, he was not a mere person, and naturally knew that the accident last night was purely accidental, and it was indeed understandable that Gyeonggi Wei and Kyung Zhao Yin did not arrive in time; Over the years, these two lords have made some achievements during their reign, and if he really directly removed them from their positions because of this incident, or even took their lives, I am afraid that he will also leave a cruel reputation in the hearts of the hundred officials.

Therefore, for his own sake and for their sake, he will not take their lives because of this.

However, the necessary beating is indispensable.

Therefore, the scene just now appeared in the court, and the combination of grace and power can not only deter the officials, but also play a role in supervising the officials; Over the years, the lazy atmosphere in the court has been extremely heavy, and since he took over the government from his father, although there has been some improvement, some stubborn diseases are difficult to eliminate.

But after today's events, he believes that those lazy winds will be subdued, and this is the phenomenon he really wants to see.
