Chapter 24: Shock
On this day, Rong Li also appeared in the court for the first time as the commander of Jinyi Wei Zhennan, wearing a blood-red flying fish suit, which did not damage his nobility at all, but added a little more coldness from hell. It can only be said that this dress suits him better than the prince's clothes, but it looks more cruel.
Several adult princes looked at Rong Li with different eyes, and only a few old ministers knew that from the day Rong Li stepped onto the stage of power, the water in the capital was even more mixed. And the Lingyang Xiao family, which had been silent for many years because of the affairs of Empress Xiao, will return to the stage of history.
The Lingyang Xiao family and the Lanling Xiao family belong to the same family, and the two families belonged to the same family hundreds of years ago, but with the changes of time. Originally, as a side branch, the Lingyang Xiao clan abandoned literature and martial arts, and rose in another way, and the Lingyang Xiao clan is indeed capable of producing generals. Therefore, the name of the Xiao family was in full swing at that time, but later because of frequent wars, the Lingyang Xiao family also lost a lot of children and grandchildren, so that its strength was greatly damaged. Although the name is still there, the strength of the Lingyang Xiao clan, which has lost its backbone, is not as good as before. This is also the reason why the original Empress Xiao was obviously from a famous family, but she wanted to give way to Concubine Zheng Guifei. No matter how strong you used to be, people will only judge you by the present.
Because the evidence provided by Rong Li in the court was true, Yan Ping waited for Zheng Yunzuo to ask His Majesty to say:
"His Majesty should sentence them to death as an example." When Zheng Yun said this, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was a loyal person to the country.
Rong Li looked at them, but only showed a mocking smile.
"Seventh brother, what are you laughing at, but you think there is something wrong with Lord Zheng's verdict." The second prince looked at Rong Li and asked. Rong Jue is still as gentle and elegant as ever, even if she says it, it will not make people feel aggressive.
"Second brother, you are too lenient, what objection can I have, even if there is, it should be my father. Now I'm talking about Father-in-law Xu's case, and the second brother doesn't stare at him and always stare at what I'm doing. Rong Li said.
"The seventh brother is wrong, I thought that the seventh brother might have different opinions when he first set foot in the court, and maybe he didn't care." Regarding Rong Li's rebuttal, Rong Jue didn't feel offended, and still looked so gentle.
"Since the second brother said that he is a newcomer, then I naturally have a lot of things to learn, and I ask the second brother to tell me what suggestions I have, so that my younger brother can study hard."
"Father, the sons and sons think that Gonggong Xu is in an important position, but he doesn't understand the truth of eating the king's Lu and bearing the king's worries, but thinks about greedy for the silver of the imperial court, and even does the evil act of buying and selling officials. The retainers agreed with Yan Pinghou's suggestion to behead him, and the courtiers could naturally be restrained under heavy punishment. Rong Jue said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and his warm face was also upright.
"Xiao Qi, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Rong Li and asked, and the emperor's words also brought Rong Li into the center of people's attention again.
"The minister thinks that what the second brother said is very right, since it is a heavy punishment and a decisive decision, it is too cheap for him, no, it is better for Ling Chi to be executed. Moreover, the courtiers should also be allowed to watch the execution, so that they can be more impressed, and every time they want to use their power for personal gain in the future, they will think of a scene, so that they can play a role in alerting.
"Father, isn't this a little ......," Rong Jue said worriedly. And the ministers all gasped when they heard Rong Li's words. Although they have often heard that someone has been sentenced to death, but this is all a matter of listening, who will go to the sidelines. Except for the general's ability to accept it, who can stand this among the other ministers.
"Father, sometimes fear is more restrictive than the law, second brother, what do you say." Rong Li said with a chuckle, looking at Rong Jue for a moment of ridicule. Even Rong Jue also raised his head and looked at his brother, he didn't know what his brother's personality had become in the years when he missed his brother's growth. Just looking at him smiling and talking about the bloodiest things today, this change is definitely not the change he wants to see.
"What the emperor said is polite, just follow the emperor's wishes." The emperor agreed.
"If you have something to do, please play, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat." Gonggong Li said, and the emperor got up and left. Just as the emperor was leaving, Rong Li also turned around and left, not caring at all about the eyes that focused on him.
"Ministers, please forgive me, after all, the seventh brother spent a period of time in the cold palace when he was a child, so he is a little unruly in his personality, and I ask for your forgiveness." Rong Jue said apologetically, as if he was the legendary good brother.
"The Seventh Prince is really lucky to have such an elder brother as His Royal Highness." Chen Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"Brothers should love each other, and as the descendants of the royal family, we should be role models for the people of the world." Rong Jue said modestly.
"The second brother is really stepping on other people's positions all the time, if it weren't for the conditions, I really wanted to move a stool and watch the second brother sing a big show here. After all, this kind of drama is usually uncommon. When the ministers left one after another, Rong Li suddenly appeared behind Rong Jue again.
"Seventh brother, whether you want to believe it or not, the second brother hopes you well." Rong Jue's words are sincere.
"Huh." Rong Li just said this and left.
"Seventh brother, please stay." Rong Jue, who was waiting outside the palace gate, looked at Rong Li and said.
"What kind of wind blew the eldest brother here, the eldest brother has never been a simple person, and I am really flattered to be waiting for the younger brother outside the palace gate today." Rong Li said in a strange way.
"Xiao Qi, can't you talk well." Rong Jue said with a sigh.
He was already an adult after what happened to his mother, but when he suddenly heard the bad news of his mother, he vomited blood, and after that, he left the root of the disease. Although he is not as weak as Aning, he really can't go on the horse and kill the enemy like other brothers and squander his blood. Therefore, over the years, he has been living in seclusion and often calling himself sick, even seeing his brother very rarely, which has also caused the two brothers to be unfamiliar, and it can even be said that Rong Li still has some hatred for him.
"I'm just talking well, if the eldest brother wants to persuade me to do something, it's better to save it, you haven't taken care of my affairs before, so please raise your hand in the future, for me, you are no different from other brothers." After Rong Li finished speaking, he rode away. And Rong Jue couldn't help coughing when he heard his brother's words so ruthlessly.
