Chapter 440: Reclaiming Privileges
Chu Suiliang finally couldn't help it, stood up tremblingly, his eyes were round, and he stared directly at the court beam next to him, and he was about to crash into it;
Princess Taiping saw it, sneered a few times, and laughed: "Haha, it turns out that this is the loyalty of our Tang courtiers, good, very good!" Chu Suiliang, it's better if you bump into it, bump it, bump it to death; listen, if you die, that little granddaughter of yours will immediately be sold to Yangzhou as a prostitute, and will receive at least 50 customers a day until she dies; as for your whole family, all the men will be slaved and sent to Lingnan for hard labor, and all the women will be sent to various brothels to make them the most despicable prostitutes; as for the sword in this court, hehe, it's the most fun, let's castrate him and go to the palace as a eunuch; as for the sword in the court, hehe, let's castrate him and go to the palace as a eunuch; as for the sword in the court, tell your grandfather to die quickly, let's arrange the funeral for your family, hahaThe more Princess Taiping spoke, the more proud she became.
Hearing this, Chu Suiliang was stunned, and his eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he sat down on the chair again!
"Hehe, Her Royal Highness the princess is still too merciful, according to the idea of the servant, since this Lord Chu Suiliang wants to die, it is better for us to give him the punishment of Ling Chi, let's chop him 3,600 knives, see if he can die; However, I will discuss with my father-in-law who used the knife, and let him give you a good one, so that you will suffer less pain, and you will be fine in just one moment, haha, what does Father-in-law Yu think?" Xiao Han deliberately teased the sword.
When Na Jian heard this, he was so frightened that his feet were afraid of weakness, and he quickly knelt down: "Prince Xiaohan and Princess Taiping spare their lives, and the slaves don't want to be eunuchs;
Hearing this, all the courtiers suddenly wanted to laugh, but no one dared to laugh out loud, and they all blushed, looking nervously at what was happening in their eyes, and they all showed incredible looks!
Chu Suiliang's face was the most shameful, as if he was about to cry, but that old face couldn't cry again, and the whole person was already stupid; Or, was Zhen Jian's intercession the most fatal knife to kill him? Perhaps, it was the fate that Yu Xin was about to face?
Only Ping Zhangshi Di Renjie laughed out loud, and his face was relieved!
"Di Renjie, what are you laughing at? What's so funny about this?" After speaking, Gaozong actually laughed too.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly eased, and all the ministers laughed, as if they were all relaxed all of a sudden; Shicai was so breathless that they were all panicked, as if they were startled by the performance of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yu family.
Wu Meiniang also laughed for a while, and then sighed and said: "Alas, there are too few people in this world who are really not afraid of death! Chu Suiliang, you really want to die, very good, just as our Lord Xiaohan said, give you the punishment of Ling Chi; we will rip you off with a small knife! Useless things, you want to die at every turn, your reading is really in the belly of a dog! He is both incompetent and tasteless, just a coward! He is also a loyal minister, a good minister, and a cadre, as Princess Taiping said, what can you do? What have you done? Okay, you can rest! Di Renjie, you haven't answered the emperor's question yet, what are you laughing at?"
"Oh, oh, the emperor and the queen mother forgive their sins, Weichen is laughing at Princess Taiping and Prince Xiaohan is too kind, obviously they want to save this Lord Zhen, but they have to be vicious, the two of them are really living bodhisattvas! Haha, as the emperor and queen said, they are the Optimus Pillar of our Tang Dynasty, and Weichen admires them!" Di Renjie hurriedly said, his face was full of admiration, obviously, he had admired them to the extreme!
When Gaozong heard this, he laughed again: "You just know! How could our princess Taiping and Prince Xiaohan kill loyal ministers and old ministers? It's just that this Chu Suiliang is really too vicious, and he actually wants to fight for the reputation of a loyal minister with one death, but he doesn't care about the life or death of future generations, what can such a courtier do? He can't even have a family, and he still wants to rule the world, stupid! Lord Zhen, if you have time, you should teach your grandson first, maybe, next time he really wants to be a eunuch, it depends on your performance!" After speaking, he showed a look of relief, obviously, very satisfied with the performances of Princess Taiping and Xiaohan.
"The emperor is shengming!" When the ministers heard this, they came to their senses: it turned out that they were trying to save Chu Suiliang!
Chu Suiliang's face was even more ugly, today he was embarrassed and lost home, but he had nothing to say, nothing to do, and he didn't even have the right to die; when he looked at the sword again, he thought of his heart again, and he felt even more faceless! His face, which was often arrogant, finally lowered slowly, and he didn't dare to raise it again.
"Next, it's time for us to deal with Xue Gang's affairs, come on, bring that thief boy Xue Gang up!" Wu Meiniang's voice turned cold, as if she had come out of hell, and suddenly stunned the ministers again.
People's faces changed again, just now they were obviously smiling, at this moment, they were nervous like frost and snow, and suddenly, the air in the court froze again, and the invisible pressure had pressed people so hard that they couldn't raise their heads, and they all hung their heads one by one!
Xue Gang came up, and as soon as he came up, he softened: "Long live the emperor and queen mother, long live, long live! The slave should die, and the slave deserves death! Please punish the emperor and the queen!"
"Your sin, exterminate the Nine Clans!Hmph, boy, your life is in the hands of Princess Taiping and Xiao Han, they don't want you to die easily, they want to play with you, boy, you have a long way to go, you have something to feel better, you can enjoy it slowly!" Gaozong Li Zhi said coldly, obviously agreeing with Princess Taiping and Xiao Han's idea.
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was even more happy and smiled: "You thief boy is really a thief, but you'd better be honest, otherwise, hehe, you know what we will do with you! Okay, you say, how did you escape from Chang'an?"
All of a sudden, like a thunderbolt from the sky, it slammed heavily on the hearts of Cheng Yanjin, Qin Huaiyu, and Qin Yun: Didn't you say that you didn't mention it? Why did you mention it again? Could it be that today is their end?
Xue Gang was more honest: "I came out of the polo field, just ran into Qin Yun, he stopped me, asked about the situation, as soon as I said, his face was shocked, but he let me go without saying a word, I hid in the broken temple outside the city;
"Hmph! You all heard it, right? This is my loyal and good general of the Tang Dynasty, haha, I look like a nest of thieves! You see, they pay more attention to righteousness, Qin Yun, Cheng Biting Jin, haha, you are really out of luck, more and more promising, I'm afraid that Qin Huaiyu will also have the same attitude! Refreshing, it seems that the style of Wagangzhai still exists! Cheng Biting Jin, are you ready to move your family to Wagangzhai to start an incident?" Wu Meiniang said while laughing, those eyes were like cats playing with mice!
Hearing this, sure enough, the three of them were shocked, and they quickly knelt down one by one to listen to the fall, and they didn't even dare to say a word!
I originally thought that Chu Suiliang was the most miserable today, but I didn't expect that these three people were no exception, and besides, Wu Meiniang had already punished her heart every word, who would dare to say a word among the ministers?
When Gaozong heard this, he was also happy and smiled: "Say, you don't usually talk a lot, why don't you speak today? Pei Lian, tell me, how to deal with these three people? Are they still loyal ministers of our Datang? Are there such loyal ministers?"
"Back to the emperor, I see that this old Qiantose must be old and confused, Marshal Qin doesn't seem to be involved; as for Qin Yun, it may be caused by righteous anger and committed a capital crime; in short, please let the emperor and queen be merciful and spare them!" Pei Lin heard it and finally spoke.
This is not only his own wishes, but also Xiao Han's attitude, Pei Yingxue has already handed over the message, asking him to intercede!
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she understood a little: it turned out that Xiao Han meant to use his strength to fight and didn't want to punish these three people; besides, they had already said that they would only take back their privileges and not kill them, so as to fulfill Han'er's righteousness, lest he think about it!
After thinking for a while, Wu Meiniang said, "Well, this, the emperor, what do you think?"
Gaozong Li Zhi thought about it, but he didn't want to make a decision, and smiled: "Two Wuqing families, what do you think?"
"Alas, the emperor, they have no king's law, they disrupt the dynasty, they ignore the safety of the royal descendants, and they should be beheaded according to the law and exterminate the nine clans!
Wu Yuanqing was a little spicy, thought about it, and then said: "Lord Yuanshuang's meaning is the most appropriate, but these two families have always worked hard and made great achievements, can you give a little grace to the law?"
He unconsciously remembered the attitude of Princess Taiping and Xiao Han at that time, and felt that they didn't want to treat the two families for capital crimes, so they changed their lives for a while, but they also agreed to punish them!
When Gaozong Li Zhi heard this, he unconsciously agreed, and he also hated the two families a little, and smiled: "The attitude of the two martial arts masters is very good; Taiping and Han'er, what do you think should be done? Also, prince, what do you say?"
"Father, I also agree with the meaning of the two martial masters, these two families are righteous on the surface, but in fact they are thieves who are difficult to change, and the people in their Wagangzhai like to bully the monarch, sometimes even Emperor Taizong's grandfather dares to threaten them, they are too lawless, and they must be taught a lesson;
Hearing this, the three of them were immediately frightened, and they all showed a look of horror, especially Qin Yun, he didn't expect this to be the result, if this was the case, then he would be the Qin family's eternal sinner!
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was noncommittal, but asked Xiao Han: "Han'er, what do you think should be done?"
"Alas, the emperor and queen mother, the crimes of the Qin and Cheng families, according to the law, should indeed be beheaded and the nine clans should be exterminated! But after all, they are the heroes of my Tang Dynasty, if they are killed, people will definitely think that we are ungrateful, but they don't say that they deserve to die; The first is to establish our attitude of ruling the country under the rule of law, and the second is to take into account the emotions of meritorious heroes and good generals; therefore, Weichen thinks that it is better to deprive them of their privileges, take back the golden mace, golden axe, and golden whip, and offer them in the Lingyan Pavilion, so that future generations can admire them, and let everyone remember their exploits; As for Qin, Cheng and their families, this time they will not be killed, let them go home and think about it behind closed doors, I don't know what the emperor and the queen think?" Xiao Han finally expounded his opinion.
Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the faces of the ministers were also slightly relieved.
When Gaozong Li Zhi heard this, he didn't fully adopt Xiao Han's meaning, and smiled: "We know what Han'er means, but this merit is meritorious, and it is a crime; this Qin Yun will first remove him from the post of deputy commander of the forbidden army and let him go to the Chang'an City Gate to see the city gate; as for Cheng Biting Jin, he has always been lawless, ignoring imperial power, and in addition to confiscating the golden axe, Cheng Lin has also been demoted to guard the city gate; Qin Huaiyu has no way to teach his son, and he will be fined for three months! What do you think Aiqing?"
He raised the whip high and dropped it gently!
