Chapter 275: Beheading according to the law
The Emperor tiredly finished the recital, stretched his waist, and walked to the door, looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, and his father-in-law followed him.
He was stunned for a long time, and finally asked his father-in-law beside him: "Zuo Xiang, he actually doesn't deserve death, right?" ”
In the past few days, the right minister has been asking him to convict Luo Huaiqing, no matter what crime he convicts, he can't prevent the right minister from dominating the family in the DPRK.
"Your Majesty, although Lord Zuo Xiang has committed a crime, he has also had a lot of credit."
It is worthy of being a person who has been following the emperor all the time, and he knows what the emperor wants to hear, so he follows his meaning.
The emperor was very relieved when he heard this, and while it was not too late, he asked his father-in-law to announce that Xu Zexuan had entered the palace, and he was the leader in this matter, as long as he let go, everything would be easy.
Xu Zexuan, who was suddenly called into the palace, didn't know what was going on, and he entered the palace before he had time to discuss with the right minister, and he could only pray in his heart that it was not a bad thing.
After arriving at the palace, the emperor asked Xu Zexuan: "How did you and the witness Xu Yangfeng meet?" ”
"It's Erchen's friend outside the palace."
"Friends outside the palace? Have you read a book? ”
How did Xu Zexuan know, he was just the brother of his friend, where did he know so many things, but he still replied stubbornly: "I have read it." ”
"What books have you read?"
Faced with the emperor's questioning, Xu Zexuan was stunned, and he had never been together, even if he had stayed together, how could he discuss the question of which books he had read? Xu Zexuan casually said a few books he had read and told the emperor.
The emperor was not very satisfied with Xu Zexuan's answer, but he didn't want to go around the bush anymore, so he asked directly: "What crime do you think should be condemned to Zuo Xiang?" ”
"According to the law, you should be killed."
"I didn't ask the law, I asked you." The emperor was about to be angry with his words, no wonder Hua Zhao would run away from marriage and always answer the wrong questions.
Xu Zexuan was frightened by the emperor's words, but he still didn't understand what kind of answer the emperor wanted, and the father-in-law on the side was anxious about him.
Why can't this man hear what is in his words? Is it innocent or stupid?
"According to Erchen, the left should be beheaded." Xu Zexuan's words were everywhere to put Luo Huaiqing and death.
"And what about the merits he has made, can't these offset his deeds?" The emperor has been guiding Xu Zexuan to speak.
But Xu Zexuan still didn't understand, and thought that his father was testing him, testing whether he had a clear distinction between public and private after committing a crime against important ministers in the court.
But he was completely wrong.
"Father, there should be clear rewards and punishments." Xu Zexuan said this confidently.
The emperor was in no mood to listen to him anymore and told him to step down.
Xu Zexuan thought that the emperor had adopted his suggestion and returned home triumphantly, and now he was waiting for Luo Huaiqing to be beheaded.
After Xu Zexuan left, the emperor was generous and thundered, pushed all the folds on the table to the ground, and the father-in-law quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”
Then he began to kneel and pick up the folds scattered on the ground.
"This is obviously my country, but why is this happening?" The Emperor questioned himself.
In the past, he himself was extremely yearning for this position, and he always thought that by ascending to this position, he could display his talents, adjust the governance of the country smoothly, and do what he wanted to do according to his own ideas.
I never thought that after I ascended the throne, I was hindered everywhere, and the things I proposed were either opposed by this minister or opposed by that minister, and I learned the way of governing the army and the country, but there was no place to show it.
Everyone is worshipping themselves, but who really thinks I deserve this position?
"Your Majesty."
Now, even the people who had been with him didn't know what to say, so he could only put the folds neatly on the table again.
"Grinding." The emperor said after collecting his mood.
My father-in-law hurriedly began to study ink.
After he wrote this holy decree, he handed it to his father-in-law, and asked him to go to Dali Temple tomorrow to read it......
"Is it really as His Highness said?"
In the right prime minister's mansion, Xu Zexuan and the right minister were sitting in the lobby talking about Luo Huaiqing's punishment.
"Of course, last night, my father summoned me to the palace to ask me what kind of crime I should convict Luo Huaiqing."
"Great."
The right minister couldn't stop laughing, this sworn enemy was finally killed, but there was another thing that had not been resolved, that is, to whom the rights that originally belonged to Luo Huaiqing were given.
"This, my father didn't mention it to me, and I can't ask more, my father must be measured." Xu Zexuan thought for a while and said.
Thinking that Luo Huaiqing was about to finish, the two were happy, and they talked happily in the hall, without thinking about another possibility at all.
Liang Yinwan hid aside and eavesdropped on their conversation, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, she was not as happy as her father and Xu Zexuan.
"As soon as Luo Huaiqing is removed, no one will be able to stop His Highness's footsteps." The right is flattering.
Before, when he assisted the four princes, he never got rid of Luo Huaiqing, and now he is assisting the three princes, and it didn't take long to get rid of Luo Huaiqing.
"I borrowed the auspicious words of the right minister." Xu Zexuan also said politely to him.
As soon as Luo Huaiqing dies, Hua Zhao will be his own, and when the time comes, he will have both talents.
Hua Zhao, who had visited Luo Huaiqing in the cell, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reported his situation to Shi and Lin Boxuan
"Your son-in-law is very good, he is fine, he is not injured, he is not wearing a thin prison uniform, he is wearing his own warm clothes, and he also said, let you wait for him at home, and he will be back soon."
"Is it true?" Stone asked excitedly.
Hua Huazhao nodded and said, "It's true, he told me in person, can there be a fake?" ”
The stone cried with joy, looking at the tears in the stone's eyes, Hua Zhao also knew that the stone was really anxious this time, but if he brought it back, it also gave the stone some comfort.
"Luo Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will definitely be fine." Lin Boxuan added on the side.
Listening to Hua Zhao's words, the stone also cheered up and began to clean up at home, he didn't want to wait for Luo Huaiqing to come back and see that the yard was so dirty.
At that time, the father-in-law, who had been following the emperor, came to Dali Temple and walked to the door of Luo Huaiqing's cell.
The jailer unlocked the door, he walked out of it, and his father-in-law's slender voice immediately sounded: "The criminal - Luo Huaiqing listens to the order." ”
Luo Huaiqing knelt down and said, "The criminal obeys the order. ”
"Haotian has a fate, and the emperor accepts it: the criminal minister Luo Huaiqing should be beheaded according to the law because of the massacre."
