Chapter 287: Degraded to a common man

Listening to Zhu An's words, Yu Hao also frowned, and he could see that Zhu An regretted it very much.

But there is no way, things have happened, the emperor is completely disappointed in Zhu An at this time, and the grounding is already the lightest punishment for Zhu An.

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Yu Hao's mind, and he looked at Zhu An seriously and asked, "Do you dare to go with me?" ”

Zhu An was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Let's go together?" Fighting? But I'm grounded now, and I don't dare to leave the palace without my father's order! ”

If the emperor knows that he ran out of the palace without permission, I am afraid that he will be punished again.

"Do you want to stay in this Cining Palace for the rest of your life? Think about your mother, think about Xiaoyu, don't you want them to live a good life? Yu Hao said angrily.

"I know your father, as long as you can achieve war exploits by going to the north with me this time, he will not only not punish you, but will also reward you."

Hearing this, Zhu An couldn't help but feel a little moved, if he could make meritorious contributions, even if he didn't get a reward, at least he wouldn't have to be grounded in the palace like now.

"But how am I going to get out? This palace is full of Ouchi guards, and once I leave, I will be discovered. ”

Yu Hao smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, have you forgotten what I do?" As long as you want, I will ask someone from Jianguo Temple to take you out of the palace later. ”

"Huh? Then if your father blames him, won't he implicate you? Zhu An suddenly hesitated again.

He really wanted to change his fate, but he also didn't want to bother Yu Hao.

Yu Hao sent someone from Jianguo Temple to take him out of the palace, and if the emperor knew about it, I am afraid that Yu Hao would be removed from his position as the commander.

Yu Hao waved his hand and said indifferently: "What do you say is not even involved, even if the emperor knows, he will not kill me directly, as long as I don't die, I will suffer any punishment, I will ask you, will you go with me?" ”

Zhu An was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu beside him, Xiao Yu nodded firmly to Zhu An after coming into contact with Zhu An's gaze.

With Xiaoyu's support, Zhu An seemed to have endless motivation, and immediately made up his mind and decided to go with Yu Hao.

Yu Hao also laughed, and asked Zhu An to wait for his news in Cining Palace.

Then Yu Hao left Cining Palace and returned to Jianguo Temple.

At this time, the people on the list of Jianguo Temple had all been executed, and they were personally supervised by Luo Zheng.

And Luo Zheng has not been idle since he executed those people, and has been supervising the few things that Yu Hao explained to him.

Yu Hao didn't hide it, and told Luo Zheng that he was going to the territory of the Xiongnu, and asked him to take full charge of the affairs of the Jianguo Temple, and by the way, he asked him to send someone to the palace to find a way to bring Zhu An out.

Regarding Yu Hao's order, Luo Zheng naturally obeyed unconditionally, and did not ask much, and immediately agreed to go to the palace to pick up Zhu An in person.

Yu Hao explained to Luo Zheng some things he needed to pay attention to after he left, and then returned to Haoyue Manor alone.

As for Hei Niu and the others, Yu Hao stayed in Jianguo Temple, and he was not taken with him during this raid on the Xiongnu lair.

After all, Yu Hao was still a little uneasy about Luo Zheng, and left Hei Niu behind on the one hand to consolidate his power in Jianguo Temple, and on the other hand, to monitor Luo Zheng.

……

On the other side, Zhu Song also returned to the Imperial Garden, and at this time, in addition to the ministers kneeling outside the pavilion, there was also a prince in the Imperial Garden.

When the prince saw Zhu Song from a distance, he began his performance, pointing at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and scolding.

"You bold guys, did so many people come to the Imperial Garden to intercede for Eldest Sun Lang? No, you are threatening the Emperor! ”

"If the emperor doesn't plan to pardon Changsun Lang, do you still want to rebel?"

As soon as the prince came up, he put a big hat on these ministers, and immediately frightened these ministers to turn pale.

Wu Xiaxian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am just waiting to intercede for Lord Changshi, and I have absolutely no intention of threatening the emperor, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know the truth!" ”

"Didn't you say no, no? It's just a matter of asking for a favor.,Just write an excerpt.,Do you all come to the Imperial Garden? The prince didn't give Wu Xia any face, and asked rhetorically.

Wu Xia was speechless for a while, after all, the other party was the prince, he couldn't refute the prince in front of so many people, right?

Hearing the prince's words, Zhu Song didn't say anything, sat on the dragon chair by himself, and watched the prince's performance expressionlessly.

Seeing that Zhu Song didn't speak, the prince thought that Zhu Song supported his statement, and he was even more energetic.

"Do you think the emperor doesn't know about the crimes committed by Beizhou Mu Li Songlin, and you need to remind him? If it weren't for the crimes committed by Li Songlin, he would have had to cut off his head if he assassinated the court official with the help of Changsun Lang! ”

"The reason why Changsun Lang was sentenced to ten years in prison is for his sake of eliminating harm for the people, and at the same time to give the prime minister a face, but you pedantic people still don't know what to do, and you came to threaten Your Majesty!"

"Putting aside the fact that Li Songlin is corrupt and perverts the law, he is indeed my Daqian's second-grade state pastor, if a state pastor is killed, the murderer can be acquitted, then where is my Daqian's law? Where is the national prestige of Daqian? ”

"In my opinion, ten years in prison is the punishment that Changsun Lang deserves, he should be content, thank the emperor for his grace, otherwise he would be a dead man now!"

The prince's words hit everyone like a machine gun, and the audience was silent for a while.

Even the emperor glanced at the prince in surprise, but he didn't expect the prince to have such eloquence.

At this time, with the crown prince paving the way in front, he reduced the punishment of the eldest grandson Lang a little more, presumably these ministers had nothing to say.

Seeing that the ministers were dumbfounded by what he said, the prince's face suddenly showed a look of pride.

Since the old guy who is laughing at him is behind his back, then he doesn't have to care about Eldest Sun Xiao's feelings, what Changsun Lang says can't be pardoned!

As long as Changsun Lang is not pardoned, Li Songlin's crimes will not be strictly investigated, and naturally he will not be involved.

Zhu Song couldn't see that the prince said so righteously and sternly that he couldn't let go of Sun Lang, but it was actually for himself.

Once the eldest grandson Lang is pardoned, he will have to show enough evidence of Li Songlin's guilt, and then the prince, Li Songlin's backer, will also be implicated.

Just when the prince was complacent, Zhu Song spoke: "What the prince said is not unreasonable, but I can't let you Aiqing run in vain, after thinking about it, I also feel that Changsun Lang is eliminating harm for the people, and ten years of imprisonment is too heavy." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the adults immediately raised their heads and showed surprise on their faces, while the crown prince was pale and looked at Zhu Song in horror.

Zhu Song won't really want to pardon Changsun Lang and strictly investigate Li Songlin, right?

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Song said slowly: "I have decided to cancel the punishment of ten years of imprisonment for Changsun Lang, and replace it with a hundred rods, demote to a commoner, and not be allowed to enter the court as an official for thirty years!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, not to mention whether the rod would kill the eldest grandson Lang.

This punishment of being degraded to the common people alone is enough to make Changsun Lang unable to inherit the title of his father Changsun Xiao, and it has nothing to do with leaving the nobility from now on, even if he can re-enter the court as an official after thirty years, I am afraid that he will have to start from the bottom!
