Chapter 355: Public Execution
"Recently, because of the case of private salt in the clan, there has been a lot of noise, people are panicked, and the minister is also worried that someone used a so-called secret report to pull the minister into the water, so as to fish in troubled waters, so he blocked it many times, but he never thought that the secret report of Dali Temple was true."
"As long as the minister shuddered at the thought of all this."
"Your Majesty, please."
Jiang Fuguang had to admire the cunning of the king of Changjun, he brushed himself off in a few words, and whitewashed all his inappropriate behaviors today, as long as there is no clear evidence in Dali Temple, showing that the king of Changjun is indeed suspected of illegal salt, no one can touch him.
There was silence in the south study for a moment, and the sound of dripping was endless, ticking in the silent hall.
Half an hour!
Emperor Nanxing's tone was gloomy: "You really haven't been involved in smuggling?" ”
The king of Changjun could not afford to bow to the ground: "Since he was a child, he has followed His Majesty wholeheartedly, and he is sincere and loyal to His Majesty. ”
It seems that he didn't say anything, but in fact, he said everything, and when it comes to the past friendship between brothers, it is impossible for His Majesty not to ignore one or two.
Emperor Nanxing was silent for a long time, but whenever something happened, he had to use the so-called kindness of the monarch and ministers to blackmail the king, Cheng'an Hou was like this, and even the king of Changjun was like this.
If you really care about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, why do you want to do something that violates the law and discipline?
Isn't it a disgrace?
For the injustice of the minister, do you want him to be benevolent as an emperor?
But as an emperor, in order to avoid chilling the hearts of the ministers of the court, he must take care of everything.
King Changjun's voice was already hoarse, and he choked up: "Today's matter, no matter what the minister does, he must tell the truth, His Majesty does not believe in the minister, the minister has nothing to say, to put it simply, it is still the minister's flamboyance, if the minister can act in a low-key manner, and does not hold this birthday banquet, it will not give others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so that Your Majesty doubts the minister's loyalty to Your Majesty." ”
Dali Temple in his house to verify the evidence of the crime of illicit salt, although at the moment can not confirm that he is suspected of illicit salt, but he is indeed involved in the case of illicit salt, is more than a lot of mistakes, it is better to retreat as advance, if Your Majesty really cares about brotherhood, will not hold on.
Emperor Nanxing asked again: "How do you explain to the princess of the regent who drew her sword against her?" The eldest princess has the fact of supervising the country, and she is the same as the prince, as a second-class county king, she has no dignity and humility, who gave you the courage? ”
King Changjun fell to the ground and did not move, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "This matter is entrusted by the minister, so I also feel that the eldest princess is the niece of the minister, but she prefers to help outsiders, so that my uncle will lose face, and the minister is very angry in his heart, and he forgot his sense of proportion for a while." ”
Jiang Fuguang almost cheered for the king of Changjun, but he ignored the monarch and ministers, and distorted all his disrespectful behavior into his uncle's anger towards his niece.
However, that's not all!
King Changjun glanced at the eldest princess and continued: "Disrespectful to the eldest princess, this is the minister's transgression, the minister does not dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness, but the minister wants to ask the eldest princess, the eldest princess connived at the private guard, killed the guards in my house, and held me hostage with a knife, have you ever taken into account the affection between our uncle and nephew, and the kindness between the monarch and the minister?" ”
After all, the murder was true, and Jiang Fuguang had no intention of defending himself: "The minister was in a hurry, and he made this decision, after all, he couldn't live with Uncle Junwang, this is my fault, I will prepare a generous gift another day, and personally come to the door to apologize to Uncle Junwang." ”
She took the initiative to retreat, but she did not make the king of Changjun extinguish the fire, but her anger increased: "Conniving private guards, on my birthday, killing people in my house to see blood, and apologizing can be over?" The eldest princess can't help but take me too seriously? ”
Fan Siqing on the side couldn't look at it.
The princess of the regent, the prince of the country, the prince of Yitong, as soon as you give an order, you will take down the eldest princess, if you are not the king of the county, you are the uncle of the eldest princess, and you will be charged with a big disrespect, and you are clamoring here?
The eldest princess has taken the initiative to back down, what else do you want?
Jiang Fuguang sighed, and still said softly: "Then according to Uncle Wang's opinion? ”
"Hand over the personal guard who killed and injured people in my mansion and coerced the king of the county with a knife, and executed him in public, and this matter will be over."
King Changjun didn't think that his request was excessive, and he even thought that he was cheaper than the eldest princess, but in the end, the eldest princess, there was a fact that he was in charge of the country, and he acted inappropriately today, so he couldn't do anything with her, so he could only take a private guard to get angry.
As soon as these words came out, there was a suffocating silence in the south study.
When Jiang Fuguang heard this, his heart almost stopped.
Emperor Nanxing looked at the eldest princess, standing in the position of the monarch and minister, the eldest princess killed a person who tried to be disrespectful to her in the county king's mansion, and she was not at fault, and it was a big trouble, and it was also the king of Changjun who was disrespectful, and the king of Changjun would never dare to make such a fuss.
But aside from the monarch and ministers, there is also a headache between uncle and nephew.
It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.
Fan Siqing immediately couldn't help it: "Let go of your bullshit, the eldest princess persuaded her with good words, and warned again and again, you still go your own way, and don't put the eldest princess in your eyes at all, the eldest princess is taking care of her uncle and nephew, and she tolerates you in every way, but you ordered the guards to step forward and want to do disrespectful acts, the eldest princess's personal guard, killed just a madman who wanted to be disrespectful to the eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess, how can a guard be able to get close at will?
has been warned again and again, and has given enough face to the king of Changjun, and the king of Changjun himself is shameless, and he has to rely on the eldest princess.
"It's good that the guard is a person in your mansion, but don't forget, even you and everyone in your mansion are all your majesty's vassals, under your majesty's holy virtue, who dares to bully the king?"
"The eldest princess is the regent of the princess of the country under His Majesty's order, and she has the fact of supervising the country, and she is the same as the prince, you connived at the guards in the palace to bully the king, and the crime is unforgivable.
When King Changjun heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Nanxing looked at the king of Changjun: "What do you think?" ”
King Changjun still bit to death: "The eldest princess ordered the private guard to blackmail the important ministers in the court, and the minister was not convinced, so he asked the eldest princess to hand over the private guard." ”
never mentioned the murder of private guards, all because of Fan Siqing's words, which had already made him lose his position.
Handing over a mere private guard would reveal the matter, and he didn't believe that the eldest princess would refuse.
"This matter is absolutely impossible," Jiang Fuguang's heart was filled with a dark fire, she slowly turned her head to look at King Changjun, her eyes were cold, "The private guard is loyal to the lord, what's wrong?" Today, in order to appease the anger of the prince of the county, I have handed over to the personal guard of my loyal master, who will dare to be truly loyal to me in the future? ”
King Changjun has always known that the eldest princess treats people gently and politely, and he has never seen her such cold and sharp eyes.
Being looked at by such a pair of cold eyes, he couldn't help but feel suffocated in his heart, and he actually had a feeling of breathlessness.
