Chapter 95: Advocacy
The final decision has been made in the court, Yu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the bad guy got the punishment he deserved, naturally it was refreshing.
Ye Linghuang and Yu Feng went to the next room to visit the people who had been abused.
As soon as they saw King Rui, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, extremely grateful to King Rui for saving them from the dire situation, "The grass people have nothing to repay for the life-saving grace of the prince, and they will be treated as cattle and horses in the next life to repay the prince!" ”
Ye Linghuang asked them all to get up, "The cause of this incident is that this king is unladylike and has no way to discipline him, and it is also his duty to rescue you!" Everyone can rest assured that the Shantang will still open as scheduled, and this king will send his cronies to manage the Shantang, and according to the old rules, everyone can still go to the Shantang to exchange labor for food. ”
"The prince is wise!" Everyone kowtowed together and complimented, "Having such a prince who thinks about the people is a blessing for the people of our dawn!" ”
Yu Feng listened and was very satisfied. I thought that although the process was a little troublesome, it was worth taking this opportunity to improve the status of King Rui in the eyes of the people.
Now that she is reborn, Yu Feng can't rely on her mother's family, and there is no other person to rely on, only Ye Linghuang is close to her, plus the two of them are married, helping him is also helping himself.
King Rui has more support from the people, which is not a bad thing, but when this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, it will inevitably make the emperor suspicious, and the next thing is naturally to find a way to appease the emperor first.
The matter of Shantang is obviously over, Wang Liangcai and Ding Tai are easy to deal with, but Lu Hongfu has been restless in prison, and the Shao family, even if he is beaten and limped, still does not give up, secretly trying to meet the emperor, wanting to ask the emperor to pardon Lu Hongfu.
Ye Linghuang knew that sooner or later the emperor would know about this matter, so he took the initiative to meet and report the matter.
The emperor was quite angry when he learned about this.
"That Lu Hongfu ate the bear's heart and leopard gall! Even the food that connects the people is corrupt! King Rui, you have done a good job in this matter, the Son of Heaven has committed the same crime as the common people, and now this matter is well known to everyone, and you must not fool the past at will, and lose the hearts of the people, that is the most terrible thing. ”
"The emperor is wise. The minister also thinks so, but Lu Hongfuzu is indeed a great feats for Jiuqu, after the famous family, there is a holy emperor, how to deal with it, the minister does not dare to make a conclusion, and asks the emperor to decide. Ye Linghuang said respectfully.
The emperor saw that he lowered his head and looked innocent, so he said, "This is indeed a tricky matter. I will issue an order, Lu Hongfu embezzled food and had poor conduct, and he would be punished fifty! All the embezzled grain was confiscated back to the Zendo, and then the mansion was taken back, and the title was stripped away, demoted to the common people, and driven out of Kyoto! ”
"And those minions in the Lu Mansion, although they can't disobey the orders of their masters, they are also aiding and abusing, which is really hateful, and they are all blamed for twenty!"
"As for the Holy ...... It was a hundred years ago, the Holy Ancestors have all been buried in the ground, after the Lu family has such a disloyal and bad person, the Lu family ancestors will only be ashamed of him, and the Holy Emperor cannot be his umbrella, and it will be invalidated directly. ”
Ye Linghuang begged for this holy decree from the emperor, which was considered to have completely broken the Shao family's idea of interceding with the saint. At the same time, he also solved his own problem, which was to show the emperor that he had never thought of taking the lead and dealt with Lu Hongfu before the emperor took the initiative.
The emperor is the emperor he supports, the son of heaven, and he is a minister, he has never tried to change such an identity.
