Liu Mingqi and Bagu entered the palace together.

Another hour has passed since then.

Jing and Emperor did not see them first, but listened to Zhou Ming's report before letting their two nieces come in.

The emperor did not give them a good look, "Stand here! To be honest, why did you suddenly cause such a big deal?"

The eighth aunt answered first, "Your Majesty, I was too impulsive. I killed that beast in an impulse, which led to the rescue we agreed on that could not be implemented. We can only use this method to save people."

"Oh? Didn't it mean that Ming Qi killed it?" Jing Hedi was stunned.

"I killed it." Ba Gu said proudly, "I can't stand it when I encounter such a beast!"

What Zhou Ming reported before was the one Liu Mingqi told Gao Jing that he was the irreversible starting point of the conflict, which was that Liu Mingqi couldn't help but kill that beast.

But now Bagu is blunt and Jing and Emperor are slightly confused, he immediately understands that this is the truth.

He was also a little relieved immediately.

After the two children did something wrong, Liu Mingqi, as a man, was able to take the blame for her cousin and took all the mistakes on herself.

Then they are willing to tell themselves the true secrets, proving that they do not treat themselves as outsiders.

But seeing Bagu's stubborn and firm look, he also had a headache.

"A girl is so excited about fighting and killing, what kind of morality is it?" Jing Hedi slapped the table, "Stand aside for me! You dare to get involved in such things, and you will be indispensable if you hit the board later!"

After the eighth aunt, it was Liu Mingqi.

Jing Hedi stared at Liu Mingqi, but said nothing.

The young man deliberately did not wash up and went straight to the palace. The dust on his body, the injuries on his arms, and the blood stains of Bao Kai were still vivid in his mind.

It seems that there is a sense of vicissitudes of life that have experienced the ups and downs.

"His Majesty."

It was Liu Mingqi who spoke first, "I didn't cause trouble this time, but when I went to a secret visit, the old lady's three children were tied up.

I dare to rob a child in broad daylight, and it was in front of me. Think about it, with my kindness of hatred of evil, how can I tolerate it?

At first, I only planned to save these three children. But after I went there, I really felt that I couldn't give up so many poor children.

Because Bagu impulsively made the conflict break out in advance, I was worried that they would kill all the children and women like before, and in the end they were confused and became what they are now."

Jing Hedi nodded invisibly.

Liu Mingqi did not lie, and Zhou Ming also told him the reason why many raids failed.

Liu Mingqi’s worries are definitely not unreasonable.

But the result is tragic enough.

More than 200 people were killed or injured in the entire Xiqiu Village, and basically all the young and strong people died, and almost the entire village was destroyed.

Moreover, according to the evil things they did reported by Zhou Ming, it became a problem to be able to survive after being caught by Miao Yan.

Although they are all dead, the problem lies in this order.

If Miao Yan had investigated the crimes of these people and Liu Mingqi took the people to kill them, it would be a little easier to say.

But it was Liu Mingqi who took his own initiative and killed someone first and then looked for evidence, which seemed very unruly.

Don’t underestimate this “rule”. If you don’t follow it, it will cause a lot of trouble!

As I thought, Emperor Jing He said in a deep voice: "Mingqi, I'll say a thousand words and ten thousand. This time you killed too many times and cruel methods, which is also very sensational! If I don't punish you, everyone in the world will be unfair!"

"No?" Bagu couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, shouldn't Mingqi be praised for his bravery and the feat of saving more than 200 children and women? Why do we have to punish it?"

"It's not your business! Do you want to be beaten?" Jing Hedi waved.

Perhaps because he felt that his attitude was not good, after a while, Jing Hedi eased his voice again: "The most critical thing about this matter is not the life or death of these people from Xiqiu Village. They should have died, and there is nothing to say about this.

The problem is that you have no official positions at all and are children of the royal family. If you start killing like this, you will inevitably be impeached by the court officials.

Mingqi, you are too impulsive. If you come back and talk to me, and I will send someone to go with you, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”

Liu Mingqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have considered this issue. However, considering that I had to rescue people as quickly as possible, and I was afraid that there would be too many people to leak information, I did this.

No matter where this matter goes, it is a great act of good deeds to do the heavens! If the court officials wanted to do my best, I think you wouldn't stand by your side, right?"

Jing Hedi shook his head and smiled, "Then wait first! Don't go back today, I will let someone tell your parents. If there is no movement in the court officials these days, then you will go back. If they take action, we will find a way!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them quickly saluted.

After Emperor Jing said this, it was obvious that he had to take the responsibility.

This was Liu Mingqi's plan before. He knew that Emperor Jing would definitely help.

Emperor Jinghe is a shameless emperor.

Not to mention that he asked Liu Mingqi to conduct an open and secret investigation, just talking about the Xiqiu Village incident itself, Jing Hedi himself thought that Liu Mingqi and Ba Gu did a good job.

However, Taizu's restrictions on the children of the royal family were very, very strict, and it has always been a major guarantee for the stability of the Great Kang Dynasty.

Even the clans of all generations have only the power to punish the children of the clan and will never involve the common people or the clan.

Children of the royal family will definitely receive preferential treatment when doing business, but it does not mean that they can personally take over the court and punish those evil people.

This is not a question of right or wrong, but a matter of principle.

Once Liu Mingqi breaks this rule, wouldn’t the future clans all have to learn well, and then everyone will come out to fight for power and profit, causing the whole world to be in chaos and repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty?

So Jing and Emperor could even think of how the ministers in the court reacted.

Now he only wants the storm not to come so violently.

For this reason, the emperor had to do something in advance.

"Zhao Shou."

"I'm here."

"You go and invite... Well, invite all four prime ministers into the palace. Well, let Cao Xiang come to see me first!"

"Abide by the order!"

...

At this time, Prime Minister Cao Yi had already returned to the mansion.

Hearing the emperor's call, he lived in the inner city and had to work hard to return to the palace.

"Cao Xiang, I have something difficult here. Please help me think of a solution." The first sentence of the meeting, Emperor Jing He said.

Cao Yi was shocked.

Although the emperor is usually kind, it is rare to ask him for help in such a personal tone.

Just think about it and you will know that things are not simple.

But he certainly could not refuse. The subject was the emperor's subject. As the head of the subject, he certainly wanted to share the emperor's worries and problems, regardless of public affairs.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, I will do my best."

Cao Yi's solemn saying.

As a result, after he finished speaking, he regretted it soon.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Jing He told him about Liu Mingqi and Bagu in Xiqiu Village today.

All of them, including the causes and consequences, were told to him one by one.

Cao Yi was sweating profusely when he heard this.

Good guy!

He killed more than 200 people in one go. Prince Yu looked naughty, but in fact he was even more cruel!

"I originally thought that the clever and weird Mingqi would help investigate, which could be regarded as a supplementary supervision of the imperial court, the embroidered sibling guards and other departments." Emperor Jing He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mingqi is talented and sincere and patriotic, so I intend to let him take over King Su and take on the new Zongzheng in the future. That's why he asked him to do things."

He had to mention the matter of cultivating Liu Mingqi.

Because of this reason, it is very taboo for Liu Mingqi to rashly interfere in state affairs.

Only with the title of "Future Zongzheng" can all this be explained.

Generally speaking, the clans of the royal family are usually the younger brothers of the emperors of the current dynasty.

But there are only two princes left in this generation. Apart from the crown prince, the third son, Shou Wang Mingan, is only seven years old this year. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, Liu Mingqi is at most about thirty years old.

Isn’t this a joke for people around thirty to take charge of the sect’s family?

At that time, Liu Mingqi was almost forty years old, and it was just right to replace King Su as Zongzheng.

But Cao Yi still frowned, "Your Majesty, even if Zong Zheng is in the future, he has never heard that Zong Zheng interferes in court affairs. At most, it is just a court affairs. The people in Xiqiu Village deserve to die, and it is not a problem for the whole village to execute and exile, but this should not be handled by the royal family, right?"

By the way!

This is what Liu Mingqi and Jing Hedi are most worried about.

If one thousand words are spoken, the children of the royal family are not allowed to participate in the government affairs in any way. This is the iron order of Emperor Taizu.

Although there were also the emperors who later allowed outstanding royal family members to take charge of government affairs, it was only limited to making suggestions and absolutely not doing practical things.
