Chapter 162, civil strife in Xidong, the Tang family was destroyed

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning is murderous and has killed fifty-six people in the Chu family, please long live the Lord to investigate!"

"Princess Shu Ning has no king's law, abuse lynching, please long live the lord to punish her!"

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Your Majesty, Princess Shu Ning cares for people's lives, and no punishment is not enough to convince the public! Your Majesty! ”

"I don't know what the specific thing is, how to make the Lord Banzai decide?"

"What if the Chu family violated the royal law of the Nine Clans?"

"Even if you violate the royal law of the Nine Clans, it should be decided by Your Majesty, when can Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning use the death penalty?"

"How can you just listen to one family?!"

"More than fifty lives are a fact!"

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Shen Qi was angry and killed the people, and the news spread all of a sudden.

Soon it spread to the palace, in the study of Emperor Wanzhen.

Emperor Wan Zhen sat on the dragon chair, he didn't speak, his eyes swept over everyone below, and let them quarrel.

There is an overwhelming amount of information about the North.

His daughter's message hasn't come for a while.

He's not in a hurry.

At present, the most credible is only Xu Jing's excerpt.

It wrote Su Fang's death.

Emperor Wan Zhen knew the relationship between his daughter and this girl.

He even remembered that when his daughter was just able to walk, Queen Ji gave this little girl to Shu Ning, and the two grew up together since childhood.

Su Fang is not only a girl, for Shu Ning, she is a close friend since childhood, but also a royal face.

The Chu family slapped the face of the royal family, that is, slapped him in the face of Emperor Wanzhen.

It's not an exaggeration to die.

In addition, Emperor Wanzhen heard about the affairs in the north.

He even wanted to reward Shen Qi, so in the face of the impeachment of the courtiers, he never spoke.

"Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wan Zhen pulled back his thoughts, and he glanced at Cao Guanping.

Cao Guan comprehended it calmly, took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Retreatβ€”β€”! ”

Obviously, it means "to be discussed later".

Even though many officials wanted to say something, they could only shout in unison at this moment: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

After retiring from the court, Emperor Wanzhen continued to handle official business in the imperial kitchen.

The front stack is an excerpt of the impeachment of Shen Chi.

This stack of folds, with Emperor Wanzhen's intuition, there are people in it who are fueling the troubles.

The middle stack is about the north and the cotton armor.

Emperor Wan Zhen didn't expect Shen Qi to really be able to unify the north and the south, nor did he expect that she could make cotton armor.

But the cotton armor is hanging in Emperor Wanzhen's imperial study at this moment, and no one can question it.

"Have you used the cotton armor?" Emperor Wan Zhen asked Shao Chongde.

Shao Chongde said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning has made a thousand years of contributions." ”

Emperor Wanzhen's jaw.

"Did you get the money?" Emperor Wanzhen asked Tian Shikun.

Tian Shikun said: "The household department received 10 million taels of silver a few days ago. ”

Emperor Wanzhen bowed his head again.

"Changpeng Liu left the south, and the water bandits were completely extinguished." Emperor Wanzhen said to Lin Dusk.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning has died nine times and changed her life for peace." Lin Dusk excused himself.

Emperor Wanzhen glanced at his own military department book, household department book, and ritual department book, as well as You Jingnan, the secretary of the criminal department, and Zhuang Guangxu, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Then, he sat up straight and took a sip of tea.

"Shu Ning's personal big girl is dead."

Emperor Wan Zhen said very plainly, as if he was talking about a very trivial matter.

Several people looked at each other.

Everyone here knows Su Fang, although that girl is a girl, her status is completely different.

I didn't expect there to be this layer of hidden secrets inside.

"Compared to what Shu Ning did, what are the lives of fifty people in Chufu?!"

Emperor Wanzhen "Bangβ€”β€”! He slammed the teacup to the ground.

"What?!"

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers deserve death." Everyone knelt down and said in unison.

Emperor Wanzhen was furious, and his chest continued to rise and fall.

After a long time, he relieved himself: "But those fifty lives are also my people." ”

The people did not speak, but remained on their knees.

This is a game and balance between imperial power and human rights.

Shen Qi has done immortal deeds, this is an ironclad fact, which is understandable.

But it is also an indisputable fact that Shen Qi slaughtered more than 50 people in Chu Mansion because of his own anger.

Can her contribution to Xi Guo be worth these more than 50 lives?

Emperor Wanzhen's gaze looked at You Jingnan.

Although You Jingnan was kneeling, he still felt Emperor Wanzhen's gaze.

He was afraid that Emperor Wanzhen would say: "The matter of judging Shu Ning will be handed over to you." ”

It's really hard to judge.

According to the laws of the Xi Kingdom, Princess Shu Ning must be a capital crime.

But Emperor Wan Zhen just said everything Princess Shu Ning did word by word.

Obviously, in the eyes of Emperor Wanzhen, Princess Shu Ning only has merit, and it is a great merit for the benefit of the country and the people.

Besides, the Chu family itself is not an innocent family.

In the face of imperial power, what are these fifty lives?

However, Emperor Wanzhen is Emperor Wanzhen, and he cannot be "capricious".

You Jingnan knew very well in his heart that this hot potato would always roll into his hands.

His mind was racing at this time, trying to come up with a perfect solution.

"Who is throwing dirty water at Shu Ning," Emperor Wanzhen's tone gradually became cold, "You can find out for me." ”

You Jingnan sighed inwardly, with the joy of escaping: "Yes." ”

And at this moment, suddenly an extremely urgent voice shouted outside the door of the imperial study: "Reportβ€”β€”! Eight hundred miles to expedite military intelligence β€”β€”! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the imperial study was shocked again.

Something happened!

Emperor Wan Zhen's face, which had always been silent, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Why is there a war at this time?

"Xuan."

"Ping Pong" There was a sound of soldiers.

A soldier in armor, after handing over his weapon, ran to the imperial study and knelt down in front of Emperor Wanzhen.

"The lower officials see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Flat, talk about things." Wanzhen Emperor Road.

"Back to Your Majesty, fifteen days ago, there was a rebellion within the Xidong army, the Tang family was destroyed, the Xidong army was leaderless, and the Lan State took the opportunity to dispatch 200,000 troops to raid my Xidong, the Xidong army was defeated, and the Lan State captured ten cities in my Xidong!"

"What?!" Everyone in the study was shocked.

"How can it be!" Emperor Wan Zhen was furious when he heard this, and slammed his palm on the desk.

How could there be civil strife in Xidong?!

What does it mean that the Tang family is destroyed?

"What about the rest of Xi Dong? What about Sun Yaoren?! Are they all dead?! Emperor Wanzhen shouted.

"The sins of the subordinates deserve death." Everyone kowtowed again.

"Cao Guanping, go, go and call Sun Yao and the others to me!"

"Yes."

"And you, what is the situation in Xi Dong now, tell me in detail!"

The moon gradually climbed to the top, and the night was starless, dark clouds, but it never rained.

The lights in the imperial study were bright, and the roar of Emperor Wanzhen came out from time to time.

Xi Dong's matter was like a huge bomb falling on everyone's body.

The future is murky. (End of chapter)
