Chapter 27 Intimate Cooperation
The thorough investigation of the hundred officials finally came to an end a few days later.
If the circumstances are more minor, they shall be punished by handing over 10,000 taels of money and 10,000 stones of grain to the state treasury.
Those with bad circumstances will be demoted to the rank of commoner and sent to the frontier.
After just a few days, there was no mention of the matter in the DPRK and China.
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng convened a hundred officials to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty summoned this time, I think it is to announce the punishment results of the fifth prince."
"Yes, the other ministers have already been punished accordingly, only the fifth prince, he is the prince of Great Qin."
"Guilty of the crime of privately hiding a woman, if it is only forty boards, it is too easy."
"Don't forget, the fifth prince is the heir of His Majesty, how to punish him, what can we courtiers say."
Hearing the discussion of the minister behind him, Zhao Mu just smiled indifferently.
No matter what the father does, he can't appease people's hearts, after all, the identity of the son is there.
The only way he could think of was to exile the fifth prince to the frontier.
Wait for it to make up for it, and then take it back.
Moreover, isn't this also the final say of the imperial court?
The imperial court, isn't it Yingzheng who has the final say.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With the eunuch roaring, the hundred officials obediently closed their mouths.
Ying Zheng said that in recent days, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country and the people have been safe.
This is indispensable to the credit of these ministers.
It is not difficult for the officials to hear that this is paving the way for the five sons.
Sure enough, after dealing with the political affairs, the fifth prince was mentioned.
"Zhong Aiqing, what do you think of me, a fifth son?"
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't dare to speak.
No matter how stupid they are, they can't die at this time.
The eldest prince Fusu is also like a frosted eggplant at this time, and he will no longer be the first bird.
"Zhong Aiqing can say bluntly, I am also heartbroken for him today."
"It's a good end to be a great Qin prince, how did he become what he is now."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng stroked his forehead, but he was really haggard.
The hundred officials also shook their heads secretly.
The more this time, the more Ying Zheng needs someone to stand up and ease the atmosphere.
If it is in his heart, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
The corners of Zhao Mu's mouth raised a trace of arc, and he moved and bowed his head.
"Father, the son has a speech to say!"
Everyone was amazed, and those who dared to speak at this time were not afraid of death.
But when he saw the back of the tenth prince, he somehow put his heart in his stomach.
Maybe he has more than once been above the government and the opposition to solve the difficulties of hundreds of officials.
"Old ten? Let's hear it. ”
Ying Zheng didn't act very surprised, as if he had expected it.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Mu could speak, he turned around and looked around at everyone.
"My fifth brother has now been driven crazy by the remote words in the palace, no one is a ghost or a ghost."
"But no one cares, no one cares! You only care if he makes a mistake and whether he will be guilty of the same crime as the people! ”
"Fifth brother has become what he is now, you ...... Guilty! ”
Speaking of which, Zhao Mu was heartbroken, and his expression was extremely painful.
This speech immediately made it difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and China to sit still.
How could they have expected that when the tenth prince opened his mouth, the spearhead was pointed directly at them.
"However, the fifth brother cannot escape the blame, and no matter how his father handles it, he is to blame."
"The son only begged his father and emperor to spare the life of the fifth brother, send him to the frontier for half a year, and then recall him to the central government to entrust him with a heavy responsibility!"
After that, Zhao Mu knelt on the ground, "Ask my father for mercy." ”
The ministers were swept around by the abrupt turn of the words.
For a while, I stood still, not knowing what to do.
Until Fusu learned from Zhao Mu's example, knelt on the ground and agreed, "Ask for the emperor's grace!" ”
At this time, all the ministers reacted, and they all seconded the proposal.
Ying Zheng was happy in his heart, but the movements in his hands were hesitant.
Zhao Mu's words instantly pushed the ministers to the dire straits.
Originally, they privately discussed the guilt of the five princes, but now it has turned to Zhao Mu above the government and the opposition, pointing out their mistakes in front of everyone.
and instead of Ying Zheng told the punishment results of the five sons, and left Ying Zheng clean.
They have also seconded it, and there is nothing to discuss.
"It's really troublesome that the old ten can think so much about the old five."
"Since Zhong Aiqing seconded the proposal, then I will be gracious here and send the old five frontiers to practice."
The court meeting ended smoothly, and Ying Zheng only felt comfortable physically and mentally.
With Lao Shi playing as an assistant in the court meeting, he was much more relaxed.
Seeing that His Majesty was so happy, how could Zhao Gao let go of this opportunity to pat himself on the back.
"Your Majesty is really a clever plan, cooperate closely with the Ten Princes, and let the ministers take the initiative to second."
"This not only preserves the authority of the DPRK and China, but also makes the ministers understand the inadequacy of fighting against it."
Zhao Gao thought that Ying Zhengyi was happy, and maybe he would reward him.
But he was wrong, there was no half of intimacy at all.
It was all Zhao Mu's on-the-spot play, although it was not the same as the solution that Zhao Gao learned a few days ago.
"No, I haven't met with Lao Shi in recent days."
"Lao Shi already has the demeanor of an emperor, so I have to guard against it."
Zhao Gao was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
"What? Your Majesty, what do you mean...... Ten sons don't know? ”
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and waved his hand to signal that he could go down.
This can't fix Zhao Gao.
How could it be that in just a few minutes, the Ten Princes coincided with His Majesty's method of thinking for a few days.
From a certain point of view, the way the Ten Princes handled it might be better.
There is never a dress rehearsal in life, every day is live.
Outside the palace, Fu Su looked at Zhao Mu's departing back with sharp eyes.
Secretly said in my heart, ten brothers...... What is sacred?
On the way back to Huaqingge, I passed by the mansion of the fifth son.
Zhao Mu fixed his eyes and saw that the efficiency of this court was really not covered.
said that he would send the fifth prince to the frontier, but he really didn't give him a chance to breathe.
No, the soldiers had already loaded their underwear and so on into the wagon.
And the fifth prince was also forcibly taken out of the house.
A subordinate of the Fifth Prince's Mansion saw Zhao Mu's carriage and hurriedly stepped forward.
I don't know what to give to the coachman, and then I turn and leave.
"Master, it's a jade pendant."
As he spoke, the coachman handed the jade pendant to Zhao Mu.
After looking at it, Zhao Mu found that this thing was extraordinary.
This kind of yin texture has a very long sense of age.
And in the jade pendant, there seems to be a huge amount of energy.
It seems that the top and bottom of the Fifth Prince's Mansion have regarded him as a life-saver.
You must know that the frontier of the faction, although on the surface it seems that it has entered the cold palace.
But the relocation of the mansion can only show that Yingzheng is still soft-hearted.
I can't go to the frontier, but I just go to the folk to heal.
Now Zhao Mu didn't know how much trouble this jade pendant would bring him in the near future.
And the origin of the jade pendant is even more chilling.
Huaqing Pavilion, Zhao Mu entered the door and a black shadow flashed.
"Master, what is in your hand?"
Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment and raised the jade pendant in his hand.
