On the second day, the impeachment of Xiao Jing came as he wished, flying all over the sky.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Xiao Jing, the prince of King Chen, who did not cultivate his private morality, and Xie Tian, the fourth lady of the Nanhou Mansion of Pingping, asked His Majesty to severely punish him." Some officials took the lead in impeachment, and then a situation was out of control.

"Your Majesty, the minister also impeached Xiao Jing, the son of King Chen, who was arrogant and lascivious, first feasted guests in the Lan Pavilion, and then did such a shameful thing with the daughter of the boudoir. As a son of man, he can't glorify the lintel, he can't share the worries for the king, but he teaches people to criticize the royal family's actions, please Your Majesty must punish him severely! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

……

Xiao Jing was not in a panic, stood up quietly, and knelt on the ground.

The impeachment was one-sided, but the emperor at the top could not see the slightest anger or shame on his face, he slowly stood up, looked at the angry crowd, and said slowly: "Don't be impatient. ”

He raised the recital in his hand, "I already know what the Qing family played, and I have already made a decision. ”

When the emperor's words fell, the inner supervisor on the side sang loudly: "The prince of King Chen's private morality is at a loss, so he ordered him to think about it behind closed doors at home for two months, punish him for three years, and resign from the post of superintendent of Gyeonggi Inspector." ”

When the words fell, the court was suddenly silent.

What is the difference between this punishment and no punishment?

After thinking about it behind closed doors, the punishment for three years is a painless punishment, as for the Gyeonggi Supervision History, it was originally a soldier brought out by the Chenwang Mansion, can this group of people still listen to others?

"Your Majesty......" The lonely old minister couldn't look at it, his eyes flashed with anger, Huo Ran stood up, "How can Your Majesty be so indulgent to the prince?" ”

"The prince did such a thing, did he let it go lightly?"

"Li Ge is wrong with this." Without waiting for the emperor to speak, someone jumped out again, "Jing Shizi has already relieved himself of all his duties, and he has already thought about repentance at home, Your Majesty is benevolent and sympathetic to the young man's love and care, how did he become conniving in the mouth of the old man?" ”

Yan Hai's words are sincere, Li Ge is an old minister, he didn't say anything, he just wanted to fight back, and he heard Yan Hai's words turn sharply.

"If it is said that Jing Shizi's private morality is not cultivated, then the minister must also participate in the Nanhou Xie Hui's family style is not strict, and the inner curtain is not strict. The woman who received the private teaching with Jing Shizi was the daughter of Xie Hui, the Marquis of Pingnan, and her daughter was splashing and rolling on the street, describing it as terrible, and teaching such things was well known, and the wine shops and tea shops in Shengjing City were all talking about this matter, and Marquis Xie did not take any measures, and the minister also asked His Majesty to severely punish Xie Hui, Marquis of Pingnan. ”

Xie Hui stood up, knelt down respectfully, and said directly: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

In this way, the emperor suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Fang Cai gently let go of Xiao Jing, and he had to let Xie Hui go gently.

Adhering to the principle of not hurting harmony, the emperor raised his hand, "Pingnanhou should get up first, although this matter is not very glorious, but now that it is prosperous, the young sons and daughters will inevitably be a little scattered." ”

At this point, everyone knew that the emperor had been a good man again, and he would not offend anyone, maintaining the balance he was delicately maintaining.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accept the guilt." However, Ping Nanhou didn't intend to let himself go like this, knelt up straight, and put his official hat aside.

"The minister is willing to step down from the post of General Pingnan, cultivate himself at home, and think about his own mistakes."

After speaking, Xie Hui kowtowed three times neatly, knocking the emperor and the ministers present with a shock in their hearts, like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts.

The emperor sat back and said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to ......"

"Your Majesty, the guilty should be punished, the wrong should be punished, and the minister is willing to accept the punishment." This means that you are not willing to be good.

The emperor was still thinking that Xie Hui was so protective of his temperament that he didn't even make a fuss, and now it seems that he is waiting for him here.

As everyone knows, this Pingnanhou relies on his merits in the army, although he has now stepped down from this title, once the war breaks out, he can rightfully resume this position.

After all, Bei Liang's coveting of Nan Chu is no longer a day or two.

And in the Southern Chu court, the person who can deter Bei Liang, except for Xie Hui, is Su Sheng.

When the Southern Chu Fang established the country, it was these two people, who combined their swords to defeat Bei Liang, and ushered in the stability of Southern Chu for ten years.

The emperor was a little sneering, and it was obvious that his innocuous punishment could not appease Xie Hui's heart.

However...... The emperor remembered the fold on King Chen last night.

The rich man in Jiangnan is tyrannical and asks to go to investigate thoroughly.

is this simple sentence, but the emperor knows that King Chen is threatening himself with Jiangnan's money.

Dilemma, the emperor subconsciously glanced at King Chen.

King Chen was unmoved, his eyebrows lowered, and he looked at the ground.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up and said loudly: "The son has something to report." ”

The emperor couldn't wait to quickly reveal this dilemma, and hurriedly said: "Speak." ”

"Seeing that spring is coming, the salt tax in the Jiangnan area should also be paid. However, a few years ago, the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River were smooth, but the tax was thinner and thinner year by year. ”

After speaking, the crown prince Huo Ran knelt on the ground, "Please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Prince?" The emperor didn't expect this at all, and he was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty." King Chen stood up, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know yet, yesterday His Majesty has appointed ministers to go to the Jiangnan area to investigate the matter of the salt tax, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry." ”

Jiangnan is the rear of King Chen, the emperor knows it, and the prince also knows it. However, if this cancer is not removed, then Nanchu will change sooner or later.

In the face of King Chen's aggressiveness, the prince was not annoyed: "Uncle Wang, you are old, and in the past, Ah Jing used to manage this salt business, but now Ah Jing ...... The prince is also willing to go to Jiangnan to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan, and Uncle Wang does not have to compete with his nephew. ”

In and out of the words, the prince meant that the Chenwang Mansion should no longer take care of the salt tax.

"Your Majesty." Without waiting for King Chen to speak, Xie Hui continued: "It is not unreasonable to think that the prince is thinking about it. Jing Shizi may not be capable enough, and His Royal Highness King Chen should also avoid suspicion and should not interfere in this matter again. ”

Xie Hui's eyes seemed to have a light in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to meditate on his own mistakes at home, because of Wei Chen's uncompetitive daughter, so should His Royal Highness King Chen also meditate on his own mistakes?" ”

At this point, the originally proud Yan Hai has come back to his senses.

Xie Hui did it on purpose, and Elder Li Ge also did it on purpose, that is, he deliberately wanted to pull His Royal Highness King Chen into the water.

As soon as he thought of this, the cold sweat on Yan Hai's forehead fell straight down.

Oh no, I did something bad with good intentions, and I looked at King Chen without a trace, and sure enough, I found that King Chen's face was pale.
