Chapter 210: Once back to the pre-liberation period
Zhu Biao looked at Zheng Xiong's miserable appearance, and was a little embarrassed, it was all his own harm.
I couldn't bear it, so I still stood up and defended Zheng Xiong.
"Father, the son has something to say."
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao speechlessly, I didn't look for you for anything, just don't speak, and no one is looking for trouble with you.
With this mouth, others can't ignore you, and there is something to say.
In front of everyone's eyes, Lao Zhu could only signal Zhu Biao to speak.
"What's the matter?"
"The alcohol that Erchen and the champion Hou drank was provided by Erchen, and the wine was also provided by Erchen, if they are guilty, Erchen's crime is even worse."
"But the effect of alcohol is remarkable, and the champion Hou Zhengxiong has done countless alcohol lives, if you just drink a glass of alcohol, you will commit the crime of killing your head, and such a punishment is really unfair."
"I also hope that my father will take back his destiny and give the champion a justice."
Not to mention, Zhu Biao's words were true and reasonable, and the onlookers couldn't help but nod when they heard this.
Zheng Xiong was speechless, your reflex arc is really too long, half of your life is gone, what is the use of having something to say now.
However, Zhu Biao's maintenance made the isolated Zheng Xiong show a trace of warmth in his heart.
Anyway, the punishment is all punished, it doesn't matter, Zhu Biao's help is needed later, Zheng Xiong simply carried all the things.
"Your Majesty, the matter of drinking was mentioned by Wechen, His Royal Highness saw that Wechen returned to Beijing, and it was not easy to refuse, so he brought wine to drink with Wechen, it was all Wechen's fault, and it had nothing to do with His Highness."
"I see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others look down on him, he is quite benevolent, he has his own rules and regulations in his actions, and he is even stricter with himself than the law.
"Your Majesty, the champion Hou instigated the prince to commit the prohibition of drinking, and he should also be punished."
"The ministers think so, the prince is at most a subordinate crime, and his crime can be avoided, and the champion Hou should be the main offender and should be punished heavily."
The gap between people is so big, Zheng Xiong has something to do, and no one can help him.
As a result, as soon as Zhu Biao came, these people were a group of licking dogs, touting all the charges, and pushing all the charges on Zheng Xiong's body.
Zheng Xiong was also dumbfounded, I just took the blame and left a good impression on Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu.
Anyway, the punishment is also punished, it doesn't matter.
Now the expression of the crowd's indignation, that is, even if he is dead, it is not enough to see before, and he still has to whip the corpse.
Zhu Biao was even more embarrassed, he didn't help, and as a result, Zheng Xiong was pitted again.
From the moment the crime was carried by Zheng Xiong, the facts are no longer important, what matters is who people believe.
Needless to say, it must be Zhu Biao, and from the perspective of investment alone, Zhu Biao is more valuable for investment.
Looking at the scene of spitting stars flying, Zhu Biao knew that this was not the case, and he had to defend Zheng Xiong.
Lao Zhu spoke in advance and didn't give Zhu Biao a chance to speak.
"Say a few words, keep your mouth shut."
The town still has to look at Lao Zhu, and in one sentence ended the scene that looked like a vegetable market, and then slowly spoke.
"As the prince, he should abide by the law, and the people's livelihood is difficult, and the prince should lead by example."
"Now take away the prince's mansion and supply it as a punishment, do you think so?"
It seems that a penalty has been made, and the punishment given is also in place, there is no supply, and there is no capital for arrogance.
But everyone present knew that Lao Zhu's three melons and two dates barely maintained decency, and the current prince's mansion did not need Lao Zhu's subsidy at all.
There is nothing wrong with this approach, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully.
Since the prince was fine, and everyone's attitude was in place, he didn't say much.
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
"Since Zheng Xiong has been sentenced to death, and he has been exempted from death by a gold medal, he will not be held accountable for his meritorious work in making alcohol, can you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty is magnificent, and the ministers have no objections."
They didn't care about Zheng Xiong's life or death, since Zhu Biao was fine, and he didn't have the intention of putting Zheng Xiong to death, so he didn't fall into the well again.
Although the development of things is a little off, the result is okay, Lao Zhu continued.
"In that case, I'll talk about one last thing."
"Zheng Xiong, on the way back to Beijing, led the army on the way back to Cao County."
"As far as I know, it was because a group of people in Cao County received the property brought by your eldest brother, but there is such a thing."
"This is indeed the case, and Weichen is guilty."
Anyway, just one sentence, obediently confessed, Zheng Xiong completely lay down.
Lao Zhu wants you to die, it's useless to struggle, I don't want you to die, don't struggle, Lao Zhu always has a way to save your life.
From Lao Zhu's actions before, Zheng Xiong has already felt Lao Zhu's attitude towards himself.
A tool man who is handy, but he has absolutely no thoughts of putting himself and death.
"Public weapons for private use, public vendem, simply did not cause serious consequences, just took back what belonged to them, but did not report it, and openly took the law as a child's play."
"Wen Zhong, as the Zuo Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Zheng Xiong's operation, what crime should be punished in the Dadu Governor's Mansion?"
Lao Zhu's words made the group of generals completely lose their voices.
To be honest, Zheng Xiong has a lot of bad deeds, and he has done a lot of things in Yanmen, and the level is very low, so it is definitely okay to attack it.
But Lao Zhu just brought out such a thing, which was obviously a warning to the military system.
Such a thing can be big or small, depending on the nature of the matter, the method of dealing with it is naturally different.
According to Lao Zhu, it did not cause any serious consequences.
It's just that just brought out such a thing, and I can vaguely guess that Lao Zhu has some ideas about the army.
Today's punishment also determines the standard of punishment in the future.
What is meant by having a law to follow, and the disposition of Zheng Xiong will inevitably become the basis for future punishments.
For all future penalties, this example can be used as a reference for the standard of punishment.
The law of later generations is still the same, which is to find a standard answer from the same case, and then make a judgment based on the actual situation.
The first penalty is often a standard answer.
Therefore, for the military generals, it is not good news, and the first thing to think about before doing things in the future is the consequences of Zheng Xiong.
If you do this, you can't bear it.
Li Wenzhong, as the leader of the military generals, also had a headache in the face of the problems thrown by Lao Zhu.
The boss who doesn't know how to protect his own interests and eats inside and outside is not a good boss.
But Lao Zhu is right in front of him, and Lao Zhu's appeal is also a key factor that he needs to consider.
Li Wenzhong, who had a sad face, thought about it for a long time before he spoke.
"I think that the champion Hou's trip failed to cause serious consequences, and the punishment should be mitigated."
"According to the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, when you are demoted by three levels, in order to see the after-effects, the champion Hou does not have the position of a military general, and the minister is a little difficult to punish here."
"Downgraded three levels? It doesn't matter if you don't have a military position, you still have the position of marquis. ”
"That being the case, Zheng Xiong obeyed the order, and from now on, he will take away the title of Champion Marquis to set an example."
"You should take this as a warning, and don't do whatever you want with the power in your hands."
