Chapter 29: Punishment and Reward
"Please Your Majesty, cancel my marriage contract with Princess Xiao Nalan, and marry Princess Xiao Zhen to me." Xie Xunfeng arched his hand and said.
"Father, if so, you cancel my marriage contract with Xie Proton. Erchen will die on this Jinluan Hall today."
Without waiting for Xiao Shentian to speak, Xiao Nalan had a death-defying expression on his face.
"Father, think twice! If so, you really canceled the marriage contract between Nalan and Xie Proton, and backhanded Xiao Yi to him. Then this scandal will ferment among the people! This will not help our royal face!" Xiao Wenyan said.
"Your Majesty think twice! This marriage contract is made by His Majesty, if you say to change it, you will change it! It is detrimental to the majesty of His Majesty. What's more, the marriage of Xie Proton and the eldest princess can make the people of Da Zhou pay attention to this proton. If the third princess gets married, then it will be just a joke in their eyes." Wu Guozhang stepped forward at this time and said.
This sentence was also said in Xiao Shentian's heart.
The reason why he got Xie Xunfeng and Xiao Nalan engaged was because he took a fancy to the forces behind Xiao Nalan.
If he changes to Xiao Yi, who has no foundation, this marriage contract will no longer have his value.
"What you Aiqing said is true, thank you proton! I just said to give you a reward, how can you let me reverse my own marriage? If it is the king of a country that changes day and night, how can he trust the world? You're thinking of a reward."
Xie Xunfeng actually guessed this ending since Xiao Nalan said that he did not agree to marry her.
"I only want the third princess! If Your Majesty can't satisfy me, then I don't want this reward!" Xie Xunfeng will learn from the previous owner's pretending to be naïve again.
Seeing this, Xiao Shentian smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll keep it for you first." When you think about it, tell me again!"
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Nalan and Xiao Yi with cold eyes.
"Xiao Nalan, whatever your starting point is? However, those things you have done are indignant to the people and gods, so I ordered you to be grounded in Kunning Palace, and at the same time copy the Mo family's precepts a thousand times!" Xiao Shentian said sharply.
Xiao Nalan couldn't help but be secretly happy when she saw this, and glanced at Xiao Zhen provocatively, and said to Xiao Shentian, "Sons and daughters will be punished."
Xiao Shentian looked at Xiao Zhen and said, "Xiao Yi, you know that Xie Proton has a marriage contract, but you don't know how to avoid it, causing such a misunderstanding. I will punish you to go to Cining Palace on an errand, so that the Queen Mother can educate you well."
After Xiao still listened to Xiao Shentian's words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen is punished!"
Xiao Nalan said to Xiao Shentian, "Father, what kind of punishment are you! Didn't you say that? Same sin? Xiao should also be grounded in Kunning Palace!"
Xiao Shentian frowned slightly and said, "So, how about I also let you go to the Cining Palace?"
Xiao Nalan refused again and again with a hint of bitterness on her face.
After Xiao Shentian finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Xunfeng.
also glanced at Xie Xunfeng...
Seeing this, Xie Xunfeng also understood.
This emperor still gave him a reward.
For Xiao Yiran's punishment, it seems to be a punishment, but it is actually a reward.
You must know that the Empress Dowager Showa of Great Xia is known for being kind, kind, and easy to get along with.
Not only that, but the background of the Queen Mother is also very strong.
If Xiao can still win the favor of the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother will become Xiao Yi's biggest help!
Deal with this matter.
Xiao and Xiao Nalan were both taken down.
Xiao Shentian's face sank, and he changed his words to everyone, "Are you very curious, why am I not in the carriage today?"
There was no one to pick up.
Xiao Shentian frowned slightly and continued, "Today, on the way back, I was assassinated seven or eight times! Unexpectedly, I returned triumphantly on the battlefield. But it didn't come to pass, on his own land, but he was in danger many times! Even if you reach the foot of the imperial city, you can't be peaceful! Chen Dezhao, tell me, how did you defend Longyang City?
Are you, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, busy helping my princes and princesses all day long and dealing with private matters?"
After Chen Dezhao heard this, he was frightened, knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, the sin deserves death!"
Xiao Shentian frowned and said, "Today, if it weren't for Xie Proton, you really deserve to die! Don't be the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, you don't want to be it! Go back and coax your big girl with yellow flowers."
"Your Majesty's forgiveness... Your Majesty's forgiveness... The minister is willing to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions..."Chen Dezhao was frightened and begged for mercy again and again.
However, Xiao Shentian didn't seem to want to see him anymore, so with a wave of his hand, he asked the black armor guard to take him out.
Xiao Shentian's eyes glanced at everyone coldly and said, "Come! Who will come out and help me catch these assassins? Let me see who is going to kill me?"
The princes lowered their heads one after another.
The officials did not dare to look at the emperor.
They all know very well that investigating this matter is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
But anyone who dared to assassinate the emperor was a dead man.
They were also completely prepared to come...
And when he saw that the people did not speak.
Xiao Shentian said coldly, "When you weren't in charge of my family affairs just now, did you all have a good idea? Why are you dumb now?"
This will Xiao Wenyan come out.
Xiao Shentian said with some surprise, "Wen Yan, I am worthy of being the eldest prince, are you willing to come out and set an example?"
"Your Majesty, investigating cases is not what your sons are good at! However, the son is willing to nominate one. The son thinks he will be up to the task." Xiao Wenyan showed a hint of cunning on his face.
Xie Xunfeng didn't wait for him to speak, he guessed with his toes, he was going to trouble himself.
Xiao Wenyan and Xiao Nalan are worthy of being brother and sister, and they really have a set of ways to find faults.
"Oh? Who?" Although Xiao Shentian knew it in his heart, he still pretended to be stupid.
"It's Xie Xunfeng, Xie Proton! First of all, Xie Proton has the ability to predict the danger in advance, and when he found these witnesses just now, he was also justified. Erchen thinks that Xie Proton is a very good candidate." Xiao Wenyan said.
As soon as Xiao Wenyan's words fell, many people were snickering.
After all, everyone knows it. Today, Xie Xunfeng's performance seems to be very smart, and he doesn't seem to be naïve.
But they've all heard about it.
Xie Xunfeng has Xiao still pointing behind him.
Now, Xiao is still transferred to Cining Palace.
Without Xiao Zhen's guidance, this Xie Xunfeng is afraid that he will become a fool again.
"Thank you? The eldest prince recommended you like this? Would you like to? Help me find out about this assassin case?" Xiao Shentian looked at Xie Xunfeng and said.
"Your Majesty, what good can you give me?" Xie Xunfeng asked at Xiao Shentian.
As soon as he said this, it caused laughter in the hall again.
Sure enough, without Xiao Zhen's guidance, his innocence was undoubtedly revealed.
Xiao Shentian said, "What benefits do you want?"
"If I find out about the assassination, then let me and Xiao Nalan get married!" Xie Xunfeng said firmly.
