Chapter 288 How to play this?(1/2)
Jing Hedi was not wrong.
From top to bottom, from Jinzhou City to Ningyuan City, from soldiers to people, all those who could press their thumbs were pressed. The few pieces of cotton cloth, three or five feet tall, were gradually covered with reddish-brown marks.
When Qianniuwei showed them all, all the ministers were silent.
From Jiangnan, from Fujian, from Liaoning... There is no need to say anything else, just look at the countless cotton cloths and dense marks on the brocade cloth.
Since ancient times, public opinion cannot be violated.
The last time Liu Mingqi massacred the group of human traffickers in Xiqiu Village, Miao Yan, Wang Zhigeng and others could also punish him according to the court's laws.
But this time, it is a little exaggerated to say that Liu Mingqi has the merit of saving the world, so who dares to attack him?
Even if an emperor encounters such a big battle, the death penalty will become a secret prison, and the secret prison will become acquitted.
It's not just a joke, nor is it just ancient.
For example, Fanfan.
Even if he doesn't have so many crimes, under the surging public outrage, the 3-10-year sentence must be over ten years, and it is impossible to find the lowest value or the intermediate value.
Sometimes public opinion does violate the law.
But living in the world, it is impossible to live by the cold laws alone, but you still have to have a little warmth.
This kind of warmth is public opinion.
Whoever stops it will have no good results.
Since ancient times, the best way to prohibit the law is to do the best in the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty died in the second lifetime. Do you think there is any necessary connection?
Wang Zhigeng and others' faces all fell.
They knew that this time their vision failed and no one in the court supported them except them.
Even among them, many of them will hesitate.
After all, not everyone does things with a public heart. Among the people who strongly demand the punishment of Liu Mingqi, there are many speculators and many who just want to gain fame.
If this group of people is removed, there are only a few people who can really advance and retreat with Wang Zhigeng.
We are so lonely!
Wang Zhigeng sighed with a pale face.
Emperor Jing He was laughing in his heart.
He didn't tell others that the petitions from millions of people in Jiangnan and Liaoning had already arrived, but he waited for this day and waited until the most critical time to take them out.
It's totally the effect of a battle to determine the country!
In the face of such a magnificent public opinion, even Miao Heizi has to retreat, let alone you, Wang Zhigeng!
Thinking of Miao Heizi, Jing and Di felt unhappy again.
Because he actually received a memorial from Miao Yan.
People like Miao Yan, who are favored by Liu Mingqi, are still saying that they will severely punish Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing and Liu Mingyou, especially Liu Mingjing, must be severely punished!
You dare to believe it so cruel and ruthless?
This Miao Heizi is really not a person who can get close to you!
Fortunately, Liu Renhuai, Jia Xiaode, Liao Shicong, Xiong Wenqing and others are reliable!
As he thought, Emperor Jing He said, "Zhao Shou, go and put away these things, first check it out for the empress dowager, and tell her that her grandson has grown up and knows to serve the country and has been recognized by everyone!"
"yes!"
Zhao Shou greeted him.
The ministers here also returned to their normal thoughts.
Cao Yi took the lead and stood up: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Yi, Duke Yan Guo, and so many loyal ministers and righteous men have received praise from the people. It's really gratifying! However, this does not mean that their guilt can be eliminated. They must be punished well. Otherwise, if everyone has learned it well, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Emperor Jing He looked at him, "If you have something to say, please say it."
The emperor still knows Cao Yi very well.
Although I don’t speak much on weekdays and are often taciturn, I usually don’t go against myself.
Now that he is sure to win, he jumped out, so naturally he can't have any trouble.
"The old minister thinks that the few of His Highnesses have mixed merits and demerits. Although they have made great contributions, they will definitely be punished if they make mistakes." Cao Yi said in a harmonious voice: "These days, the old minister has also discussed with several prime ministers. Among the three of them, Yanguo Duke Liu Mingyou has the least guilty, and even the court acquiesced to help them in Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, so it is enough to be fined one year's salary and demoted to Yanguo Marquis.
The prince of King Yi, Liu Mingjing, followed His Highness De, and repeatedly led the way. This behavior was even more undesirable. Therefore, he had to be fined three years of salary and deprived of his identity of the prince for a temporary observation. He was also ordered not to leave the capital area under any excuses, even if it was his previous trip.
King De Liu Mingqi not only committed the same crime as Prince Yi, but also privately forged the prince's ceremonial ceremony, Emperor Sheng, and Huang Yue, and even proposed to give up Jinzhou City. The crime was extremely evil, and it was actually punished!"
Wang Zhigeng's face darkened.
He now understood that Cao Yi came over to give the emperor a step.
You can neither punish too much nor let yourself wait for others succeed.
As expected, Cao Yi slowed down and said, "But, the achievements of King De, Prince Yi and Duke Yan Guo are not to be discussed anymore! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is my God-born weapon from heaven! Whether it is the capital, Jiangnan, Fujian, or Liaoning, the approval and admiration of so many ordinary people is a clear proof.
Since ancient times, it is normal for clear rewards and punishments to be distinguished, and the merits and demerits are offset. Considering the overall particularity this time, we several of the great masters finally got a result after full discussion.
King Liu Mingqi of De should be removed from his title of prince and demoted to protect the Imperial College. He would not be promoted unless he had great achievements. At the same time, he ordered King Liu Mingqi of De to be ordered to not leave the capital area for life unless he reached the stage of survival and death in the world and was summoned by an imperial edict, he would not be allowed to leave the capital area for life."
After saying this, Cao Yi looked at the emperor and everyone: "I don't know what your Majesty and all the ministers have?"
"No, no!" King Su immediately said, "How to punish Mingqi, Mingjing and Mingyu are all the affairs of our clan's mansion! Why do you have to overcome this? It was the emperor who gave you this power? He also stripped Mingqi of his title and beat him to the end. Are you crazy? He is the hero who saved the world!!"
King Su never had to worry about speaking, and he said whatever he had.
Liu Mingqi himself was the first-class prince in the empire, and no matter how many children of the royal family committed, they were usually just viscounts at the lowest level.
Isn’t this a joke now that Liu Mingqi has been rubbed to the end and becomes a viscount?
Will there be a little face when the clan mansion goes out in the future?
Can the clans still have a little respect and fear of the clan’s mansion?
If you can't even protect your own people, how can you still have prestige?
The emperor also coughed lightly when he heard this, "This is normal not to leave the capital, but it is not appropriate to get a title! Is it because of Mingqi's contribution to keep a duke for him?"
"This is probably a bit difficult." Cao Yi shook his head, "Privately forging the emperor's token is a death sentence, and giving up the country and city is also a death sentence! Now there is nothing to exempt His Highness De from being punished."
"Exemption?"
King Su stared at him, "Cao Xiang, please ask, touch your conscience, are Mingqi and the others considered a death sentence? Mingqi did not invent wooden grenades, hell cocktails, or hot air balloons. How many of you Jiangnan people can protect your homes? How many can escape the catastrophe?"
Cao Yi is from Huzhou, Jiangnan, and many of the ministers present also come from Jiangnan.
If Liu Mingqi had not fought to the death to block the 100,000 Japanese pirate Nobuo Ikeno's army on the first line of defense, many of their families would have encountered a great catastrophe.
The Japanese pirates and other beasts passed by did not grow any grass, kill endlessly, and bones were thousands of miles away.
So King Su said this correctly.
Cao Yi is a shameless person, and he could only retreat when he heard this.
Wang Zhigeng also stood up: "Report to Your Majesty, I feel that such punishment is not enough."
"Um?"
The emperor snorted and looked at him, "Changde, people's hearts are full of flesh. If you are still obsessed with it at this time, then I think you can go to Ningyuan City to exercise more, and see the sufferings of the world."
"I am willing to go."
Wang Zhigeng replied without hesitation, which made the emperor furious and wanted to turn against him on the spot.
People who don’t know think that my Mingqi has dug up your ancestral grave!
But the fact is that you, Wang Zhigeng, are also from Jiangnan. The Wang family is lush in Jiangnan. My Mingqi saved your whole family!
Wang Zhigeng faced the emperor's murderous gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I have two supplements. First, Your Highness, Your Highness, can be punished for death, and will not escape the death penalty. In addition to what Cao Xiang said before, he should be asked to go to the clan's house to receive confinement punishment!"
As soon as he said this, the emperor's words to curse stopped immediately.
Huh?
Has this Wang Changde changed his nature?
I thought he was going to pester him!
Just as the emperor was thinking, Wang Zhigeng said again: "In addition, everyone knows that in the past year, the various business transactions at His Highness De's family have been in full swing and have made a lot of money! Now that winter is approaching, various places are spending a lot of money because of fighting the invaders! If His Highness De's family can take out some money to rescue the victims who are lacking food in various places, this is another atonement."
"hehe!"
King Su looked at him with a sarcastic look on his face: "You are so strange! If people in the world know that being a hero is the price, they dare to be a hero?"
Wang Zhigeng also looked back at King Su: "Prince, if His Highness De is an ordinary person, Bei Zhi is willing to kneel down and kowtow to him, thank him for helping him! But he is a royal family and he knowingly committed so many serious crimes of disobedience. Bei Zhi now says this, which is contrary to my principles of being a human being! If you think every royal family can do this without taking responsibility, Bei Zhi will naturally not mention it in a word."
"you……"
King Su was so angry that he blew his beard.
As Jing Hedi was about to make a fuss, he quickly coughed and said, "Changde, this is your opinion?"
Wang Zhigeng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what else do you want me?"
To be continued...
