Chapter 166: Punishment

He is determined that he doesn't want this face, and he has to find a way to save the punishment! Really...... The love between father and son is deep.

However, why does his father-son relationship have to let others pay the price, and he has to let Xing Tianze suffer this dumb loss?

Don't even think about it!

Even if the fact that he is the mastermind is forcibly subverted, some accounts are not settled.

"Huh? Fifth Princess, do you have anything else you would like to say? The emperor turned his head to look at her in displeasure, today's matter was about to be settled, and it was all because of her sudden appearance that things became like this!

The emperor is still angry in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you are full of words that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not deeply involved in the world and is still young, let the Fifth Prince, the elder, forgive him this time." Tao Mingxi naturally saw that the other party was unhappy, but they all took the initiative to ignore it, and said very unhappily:

"But if the concubine is not mistaken, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is also more than twenty this year, right? How can you be considered young? And also...... My prince can't see how old he is, why do he have to forgive him in the name of an elder? ”

Xing Tianze was listening, and suddenly felt a warm heart, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The princess of his family also seems to be a short-term ...... This feeling of being protected by the other party doesn't seem to be bad.

"This ......" The emperor's face sank, but he didn't know what to say to refute for a while.

"Whatever you say is just an excuse to be confused! As a prince, what he has learned since he was a child is the way to behave and do things, and now it is easy to trust others to slander and slander his elders, if he does not punish him heavily, the concubine thinks that this is inappropriate! ”

Tao Mingxi didn't care about the other party's reaction, opened his mouth and continued, those scaring words came easily.

Originally, there were many people who spoke for Xing Tianze just now, but then they really had nothing to say, so they had to shut up.

Now it's different, listening to Tao Mingxi's words, they all opened their mouths and agreed, "Yes! Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and as a royal person, he should not be protected and forgiven. ”

"That is, as a prince, he made a mistake, and he should lead by example, otherwise how can he establish authority for those ordinary people?"

There are many old ministers in the court, and some are even veterans of the two dynasties, all of whom were loyal ministers and righteous men who followed the emperor back then.

Now that the emperor is clearly shielding, they all see it in their eyes, and they naturally feel unhappy in their hearts, this is not what a foreign king should do at all!

"Please also ask the emperor to punish him heavily."

As soon as someone got up, the scene instantly became out of control, and most of the oranges in the court knelt down and spoke in unison.

Although the emperor deliberately shielded the torture Yizhe, in the face of the pressure of so many courtiers, his momentum was also a little weak.

Among this pile of courtiers, there are many old ministers who are quite weighty, and he can't easily offend them!

Xing Yizhe on the side gritted his teeth, and hated these old immortals in his heart, but the matter has come to this, he has to be punished no matter what, it is better to take the initiative to speak, at least to save a little reputation.

Thinking so in his heart, Xing Yizhe immediately arched his hands, looked up at the emperor in the hall and said: "Father, the son also knows that he has made a big mistake this time because of his confusion, and it is indeed unreasonable to forgive him!" I implore the father to punish the child justly and strictly! It can also allow the child to remember the mistake made this time. ”

"Well......" Xing Yizhe's words are undoubtedly a very good step, and the emperor heard the words and walked down this slope, saying: "Since this is the case, then I ......"

"Wait!" Just when the emperor wanted to announce the punishment, Tao Mingxi spoke again, and always stopped the other party at a critical moment: "The concubine thinks that the biggest grievance in this matter is the prince, if you want to punish now, why not let the prince decide the content of the punishment?" ”

"The princess is reasonable, no matter what the prince says, he is also the elder of the three princes, and there is nothing inappropriate for him to punish him...... Moreover, this can also be regarded as some compensation for the prince. Ling Mochen, who was standing not far away, immediately spoke up and agreed.

Many of the surrounding ministers chimed in.

The emperor's already gloomy and terrible face became even more ugly, and he hated Tao Mingxi in his heart, but because of the pressure from the ministers, he had to grit his teeth and agree, "Then this matter ...... Just leave it to the fifth child to dispose of! ”

"The third prince did something foolish this time, so he will be punished to go back to his house and be grounded for three months." Xing Tianze thought for a moment in his heart before he spoke lightly, and the punishment he made was so light that people could hardly believe it.

Xing Yizhe, who was so nervous on the side, instantly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Xing Tianze was going to take revenge on himself, but in fact, he was also afraid in his heart, afraid that if he offended him, there would be no good fruit to eat in the future.

But then the man's words completely turned his thoughts on his head.

Tao Mingxi was also a little surprised when she watched from the sidelines, she said that so many mouthfuls were dry, and in the end, it would not be a simple "three-month grounding", right?

She wasn't happy about that.

Everyone was surprised by Xing Tianze's magnanimity, but only Ling Mochen stood aside and watched for a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

"However, after this incident," sure enough, under his expectant gaze, the next moment Xing Tianze spoke, and said with a serious face: "This king thinks that with the judgment of the third prince, he still doesn't pay attention to managing the affairs of the court, so he should go back and study hard for two years before coming out to contact the court." ”

After listening, Ling Mochen didn't see the slightest surprise on his face, Xing Tianze was such a black-bellied person, he looked quite serious, but in fact, he had a bad stomach.

Offended him this time, how could he let go of the punishment so easily? Even if he can't kill him, he has to peel off his skin!

"You!" Hearing this, Xing Yizhe's somewhat smug face disappeared in an instant, and he turned his head to look at Xing Tianze's face, eager to walk over and punch him.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

As soon as this remark came out, it was no surprise that many people echoed it.

Now most of the courtiers in the court are on Xing Tianze's side, and they all know in their hearts who is the mastermind of slandering the five princes, but they just don't say it!

Under the pressure of so many people, the emperor was powerless no matter how much he wanted to cover up, and in the end, he had to prohibit him from contacting the imperial court for two years according to what Xing Tianze said.

Xing Yizhe hated it in his heart, but he was helpless, and in the end he could only stand there with a breath that he couldn't get up or down.
