Chapter 505 - Counting is Counting
After that, the two monarchs and ministers praised each other, Li Xiang praised the emperor's wisdom and generosity, and His Majesty the emperor praised Li Xiang for his dedication to the country.
Then the monarch and the ministers gave each other a step, and they ended up like this.
But what about the warriors who are on the battlefield? This ending is just too unfair for them.
Ever since their master's retreat, they have known that the country's decay and defeat are only because their master told them to guard the country well before they went into hiding, and they are still doing their best to the emperor and guarding the people of the Great Yu Kingdom.
But if they end up like this, then what is the point of them protecting this country?
Qingjiao stepped forward, her eyes red and her teeth gurgling.
He was about to say something when he was gently grabbed by Bai Lifeng.
Qingjiao said in a low voice: "Little prince, don't stop me. β
This traitorous minister is in charge, and the people are not living, what is the use of him?
After finishing speaking, he still wanted to break free from Bailifeng's confinement.
It's not like that, Bai Lifeng seems to grab his hand lightly, but he can't break free at all with great strength.
Qingjiao looked at Bailifeng with some confusion, as if he didn't know what Bailifeng was doing all this for.
Could it be that the little prince has learned to do this in this big dyeing vat-like court? Do you feel like they don't have any feelings? I only know that I am bent on slapping the emperor's sycophants?
"Little prince looks at the old prince's face, I don't want to do anything with you, if you continue like this......"
Qingjiao wanted to threaten when he spoke.
Bai Lifeng grabbed Qingjiao, and his voice was low: "If you continue like this, not only will you not be able to avenge your brothers, but you will not even have the corresponding justice." If you take a few steps forward to face the king, even those dead brothers and living brothers will be charged with a crime of conspiracy and rebellion because of you. β
Bai Lifeng stared at Qingjiao's eyes: "I know that you are very aggrieved and angry now, but now you have to wait and see what happens, and I will help you solve my affairs later, and you have to believe in the emperor." β
Believe in the emperor?
Qing Jiao couldn't help but sneer, if it was just now, he still had a trace of expectation for the emperor, but now he and Li Xiang are just like this.
Without any regard for them, these courtiers are waiting for the result below.
Bailifeng was very helpless, looking at this elm-headed person, he was a little congested for a while, but it was himself, and his father's former subordinates were helpless, so he was angry and appeased: "You just watch quietly, sooner or later, don't rush this time." β
Qingjiao was dragged by Bailifeng and couldn't move. Seeing that Bai Lifeng was talking to himself like this, he was very patient, and Qingjiao was not the kind of person who had to make inches, so he waited patiently for their conversation.
Li Xiang smiled, he originally thought that the emperor would guess what he wanted to do, or learn from the hard work and want to change something, but he didn't expect that things would still be like this, and it was not challenging at all.
He gave a salute that was not salty or light: "These words said by the emperor, Wei Chen was impressed. β
When the emperor saw Li Xiang say this, he didn't care if he was very perfunctory.
also looked at Li Xiang with a smile, and his face showed a very friendly face.
Mu Yunchu always felt that something was wrong.
"In that case, after all, the Ministry of Rites is your protΓ©gΓ©, and if you are executed directly against your will, it will be very sad for you. After all, he has also made so much dedication to the Great Chongqing Country, and it is not easy to work hard for most of his life. β
The emperor's fluttering words reached Qing Jiao's ears, making his straight back gradually bend a little.
What he said meant was that he didn't intend to punish the crime of the Ministry of Rites.
Therefore, he risked his life to sue the emperor, so many of his brothers died, and all the efforts of these days have been in vain.
is Li Xiangqing's fluttering words, and all his efforts have been dismantled.
Qingjiao only thought it was ridiculous.
He tried hard to break free of Bailifeng's shackles, but found that Bailifeng's hand was getting tighter and tighter, as if he was worried that he would not be able to control it and directly confront the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu face to face.
Bai Lifeng turned his head and didn't speak, just looked at himself with his eyes, his eyes were very firm, his heart was restless, and he looked at him for some reason, and slowly quieted down.
That look was very powerful, as if to say, as long as he was there, it didn't matter if the sky fell.
He quietly watched the development of the events in front of him and said nothing.
Li Xiang bowed silently: "Then Weichen is here to thank the emperor." β
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also knelt on the ground, did not dare to get up, and threw himself to the ground: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, thank you for the emperor's kindness." β
Those who spoke for the Book of Rites were beaming with joy. Their move is right, even the emperor has to sell Li Xiang to save his life, then in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne, Li Xiang can be said to be the only family, these Li Xiang they did for Li Xiang will definitely remember and will repay Li for befriending them.
Before they finished their happiness, they heard the emperor say lightly: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Spit out as much as you embezzle. I believe in you as a person. β
There was a hint of a smile in Bai Lifeng's eyes, and the emperor's belly was also black.
Let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu take things out, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who has just walked outside the ghost gate. He's going to take out all those things to save his life.
Besides, the emperor said, believe in his character, it must only be more, not less, if the emperor wants to punish the crime, it will be solved in a while.
The emperor paused for a moment and then continued: "By the way, for some reasons, the treasury has been a little empty recently. In addition, there are rice worms like the Ministry of Rites, and our treasury has not been able to come up with anything recently. Since you speak so generously and so righteously. Some of them even have a grudge against the Ministry of Rites, and speaking for the Ministry of Rites is enough to prove your good heart. β
The emperor smiled very indifferently and was full of admiration: "As a courtier, you have simply set an example for our Dayu country, and now our Dayu country's treasury is empty, and it just so happens that Qingjiao has also come." Why don't you all donate something from your house? After all, you're all quite rich. β
Those courtiers were about to speak, and when they were playing Tai Chi, the emperor continued: "It's not like your spirit is only used on the Ministry of Rites, right, everyone is a colleague, can you help?" Of course, these feats of yours, Qingjiao will definitely promote them for you after you go back. β
