The emperor was furious and said, "Feng Boyang, you are guilty!" ”

Feng Boyang, who was held hostage by a few guards, already knew from the whispers of the ministers just now that he had no possibility of continuing to be an official in the court this time, at most, and he could only pray that His Majesty would not execute him.

No matter how much he shouted injustice, it was useless, he really didn't expect that in the end, he would be planted in the hands of a woman, and she was the woman he trusted the most. Sure enough, he should never have believed that there would be a woman in this world who could do things!

Feng Boyang was sad in his heart, but he had no tears to shed, and leaned over and said, "The minister is guilty." But the minister dared to ask His Majesty, the minister has been an official in the court for so many years, is the merit greater than the fault, or the excess is greater than the merit? ”

The emperor wrinkled his brows, worthy of an old fox, he had already arrived at the Jedi, and he was still thinking about begging for mercy for himself.

It's hard for the emperor to say anything now, because no matter what he says, there will be people who think he is partial, or unfair.

It seemed to see the emperor's entanglement, and Yin Jixuan, who had not spoken since the last dynasty today, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow your brother to say a word?" ”

The emperor glanced at him, although this seventh brother was young, he had always been the most popular with him, and he could always see what he wanted at critical moments, and he would never be as aggressive as King Kang, nor as invulnerable as the four kings. If there are still people among these princes who really think about him, it is only Yin Jixuan.

When he saw Yin Jixuan standing up, his heart relaxed, and he nodded and said, "Say it." ”

"According to the younger brother, everyone in the court has a ruler in their hearts to measure whether Prime Minister Feng has done too much or too much over the years, and His Majesty is not a simple judgment. Now all the things that Feng Boyang has done are presented in front of everyone, and everything is a capital crime, but if he rebels against Feng Boyang and is guilty of a capital crime, it is inevitable that some people will say that His Majesty crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the rabbit died and the dog cooked. Moreover, Feng Boyang's eldest son, Feng Ling, is now killing the enemy on the battlefield, so the younger brother thinks that it is better to let Feng Boyang live. Yin Jixuan looked down at Feng Boyang, who had been burying his head, and said.

Feng Boyang was a little surprised, he never expected that it would be this inconspicuous Seventh Prince who finally stood up to intercede for himself. In fact, in the past, among the capable princes, he looked down on this seventh prince the most, and he never tried to win him over, because he felt that he was young, and he had nothing else to do except to curry favor with the current emperor and gain so much power. But now I know that he is the smartest and most far-sighted of the princes. Because the person who can stand up and intercede for Feng Boyang now is to win over all the ministers of the poor family.

The emperor frowned, and seemed not very satisfied with what Yin Jixuan said this time.

Yin Jixuan also noticed the emperor's expression, and continued: "It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable." Your Majesty might as well have copied the property of the Guangxiang Mansion, not collected it in the treasury, and then severely condemned Feng Boyang to the eighty boards, and then demoted him to a beggar, and continued to stay in this imperial city, enslaved by all the people, to atone for his sins, and during this period, no one was allowed to support him. ”

They say they are beggars, but they are actually slaves. When the Li State was founded, that Mrs. Lu led the congregation to liberate the slaves, so now the Li State does not allow any more slaves. Some people who have committed serious sins should be demoted to official slaves, and they cannot be said to be "slaves", but can only be said to be beggars.

Now everyone is almost satisfied. The people of Feng Boyang's party know that it is not easy to keep Feng Boyang's life, and if Feng Boyang is left in the imperial city, there will be a day when he can turn over, and these poor disciples never care too much about reputation, beggars just beggars, at least keep their lives. The other ministers were also satisfied, after all, it was already a very serious punishment to demote a first-class member to a beggar, and for these people who have been nobles for generations, Feng Boyang became a beggar, which was the biggest insult to him, most of these people were people who could be killed but not humiliated, and they all felt that the punishment of being insulted was more serious than execution.

The emperor was also satisfied, and asked the ministers below, if there were any objections. Everyone didn't answer, so the emperor disposed of Feng Boyang according to what Yin Jixuan said just now.

Feng Boyang was dragged down to play the board, but the Yin family was still kneeling in the center of the golden hall.

The Emperor looked down at her, wondering what to do with it. Yin Jixuan also glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, my brother feels that what Mrs. Yin did before was coerced by Feng Boyang, and it was not her will. And she exposed Feng Boyang's merits this time, and the merits and demerits are offset, so it is better not to reward or punish. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "That's right, Yin, you are still a three-rank edict, and the widow will not hold you accountable for your previous crimes." All the property of Feng Boyang will be returned to the treasury, and the entire mansion of the Prime Minister's Mansion will still belong to you, so you can take your children to live well. ”

The Yin family kowtowed, and the emperor only said that he would confiscate Feng Boyang's property, but did not say that he confiscated the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was already merciful. And continue to retain her name as a three-grade edict, so that she still has the ability to mix in the circle of noblewomen in the imperial city, which is the emperor's greatest kindness, and it is not in vain that she betrays Feng Boyang. Moreover, the mansion of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, in the future, Yanhui will marry Yin Jihui again, keep the young and live, and it is enough to sell half of it. Otherwise, if you really follow Boyang to Qingzhou and live the hard life of Qingzhou, it is better to die.

She said, "The sinner woman bows to your majesty Longen!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else you want to start?" ”

Everyone was silent, the emperor stood up, and the eunuchs beside him shouted "retreat from the dynasty", and today's early dynasty was officially dispersed.

After the ministers sent the emperor away, Yin Jixuan and Yin walked behind, and Yin Shi saluted Yin Jixuan and said, "Thank you for interceding for me just now." ”

Yin Jixuan shook his head and said, "Don't be polite, you and I will be a family in the future, what are you talking about." ”

Yin smiled lightly, Yin Jixuan's meaning, his family affair with Feng Yanhui has been decided.

"But Mrs. Yin had better be careful recently, because after all, it was you who exposed Feng Boyang today, and Feng Boyang will inevitably hate you. And even if he is demoted to a beggar, there are still many people who will continue to listen to him, so you have to be careful that they deal with you. ”

Yin nodded, glanced at Yin Jixuan gratefully, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely be careful." ”

"Well, let's go back first, and I'll visit you in person in a few days." Yin Jixuan stopped at the fork outside the Golden Palace and said to her.

Yin answered, and then said goodbye to him, and the two left one after another.

*

It was also under the dynasty that the news that Feng Boyang was demoted to a beggar spread throughout the imperial city, and Qingdi woke up. It was Apricot who ran in and screamed to wake her up.

Qingdi rubbed her eyes and sat up, and asked her sleepily, "What's the matter?" ”

"Good news, ma'am!" The happiness on Apricot Zi's face couldn't be hidden at all, and she said to Qingdi: "The slave maid just heard from the people outside that the bad things that Prime Minister Feng had done before had been exposed, and he had been demoted to a beggar by His Majesty!" ”

Qingdi couldn't react a little, and asked rhetorically, "What did you say?" ”

"Prime Minister Feng! The Feng Prime Minister who has been bullying the young lady...... No, he is no longer the prime minister, he is now a beggar, he has nothing, he is wandering the streets of the imperial city, and His Majesty does not allow anyone to help him! Apricot smiled and said, "Madam, your great revenge has finally been avenged!" ”

"Really?" Qingdi finally came to her senses, grabbed the apricot, and called her again.

Xiao Tao repeated it to her several times in one breath, Qingdi was very happy, the imperial concubine really didn't lie to her!

She was happy for a while, and then thought of another thing, and she asked Apricot, "What time is it?" ”

"It's noon."

Oops! She turned her head to look at her side, only then did she notice that the people around her were gone, and asked, "What about Chu Yaocen?" ”

"The young master has already gone out to play, and when he saw that Madame was still asleep, he didn't wake Madame up."

Qingdi frowned, today is the first day she married into the Chu family, as a daughter-in-law, she slept until noon on the first day, and she didn't go to say hello to her elders, what should I do? The He family didn't like her and Chu Yaocen in the first place, and he would definitely not let her go now!

Qingdi quickly picked up his clothes and put them on, and asked Apricot, "I'm going to say hello to my wife and grandmother now, is it too late?" ”

Apricot blinked, and suddenly reacted to the matter of asking for peace, slapped her head suddenly, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Madam, it's all the slave maid who is wrong, the slave maid forgot this stubble, and the second young master also ordered not to wake up the lady, so the slave maid didn't call ......"

"Don't talk about that, it's probably still time for lunch, right? On this first day, I need to go over and eat with them, right? Qingdi got dressed and sat in front of the dressing mirror, and said to Apricot: "Hurry up and help me put my hair up together, hurry over." ”

Apricot nodded, and hurried over to help Qingdi coil her hair.

After getting it done, it was almost half an hour, and then the people of the He family really came over and shouted, and said when they entered the door: "Second young lady, Mrs. asked if you got up, if you got up, hurry up and go to the main hall to have lunch with everyone, otherwise the master will know that the second young lady has slept all morning, and the second young lady will be punished." Because of the family rules of our Chu family, there is a rule that you are not allowed to lie in bed. Our lord also insisted on working diligently every day, getting up early every day, and only then did he make the Chu family what it is now, and he also became the biggest imperial merchant in our Li country. Second young lady, don't think that if you get married, you will be happy. ”

Qingdi frowned, this person from the He family was really unkind to speak, and if she didn't say anything when she came in, she would teach her a lesson. However, she wouldn't soften her temperament just because she was married to a wife, so she turned her head and asked her: "Then you were recruited by the Chu family just to commit the following crimes, dogs and people?" ”
