Chapter 133 Confiscated and Exiled
Xu Mo took Su Xiaoxiao back to the Qinzheng Palace.
Before the emperor could speak, Su Xiaoxiao ran over with her short legs: "Grandma Emperor, Xiaoxiao misses you so much!"
The emperor lost his temper when she spoke in a baby voice. He grinned and stretched out his hands and said: "Xiaoxiao is here!"
The emperor held Su Xiaoxiao in his arms and spoke with a lisp. This was the first time Xu Mo saw the emperor act so worthless.
The emperor was like that, and he had no intention of paying attention to him at all.
Xu Mo had no choice but to say with a thick face: "Your Majesty, I was about to leave the palace when I met Princess Anle. She said she wanted to come to see you. I was worried about her being alone, so I sent her in."
The emperor snorted in his throat: "Hmm!" and ignored him.
Xu Mo stood there awkwardly, watching the emperor and Su Xiaoxiao joking with each other, not saying a word.
After a long while, the emperor seemed to realize that Xu Mo was also there, so he said: "Xu Mo, why are you still here?"
Xu Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, you didn't tell me to leave! No, he was almost angry, he came back for a mission this time.
Xu Mo smiled awkwardly and said, "I have something to ask the emperor for his advice!"
The emperor then sat up straighter and asked, "Go ahead!"
"Your Majesty, we have investigated all the affairs of Shen Tianyou. What do you plan to do?"
Su Xiaoxiao also looked up and looked at the emperor expectantly.
When Shen Tianyou was mentioned, the emperor felt uncomfortable: "This unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust guy should be directly taken out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded!"
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids in disappointment: [Beheading him, that would be too easy for him. He has done so many evil things.]
Xu Mo also thought so. Shen Tianyou has done a lot of bad things in the past few years as an official.
Moreover, the people of Southern Xinjiang have never forgotten the incident of Black Wind Village. If Su Bowen had not asked Zhang Hu to help persuade them, Southern Xinjiang might have rebelled.
Xu Mo praised, "Your Majesty is decisive and ruthless in killing. I admire you. But it's too easy for Shen Tianyou to just kill him. As an official appointed by the court, he took human life lightly, which is an unforgivable crime.
Moreover, he colluded with Liu to hurt the Duke of Zhenguo and killed the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Tang. He must pay a price."
The emperor also felt that his idea was too arbitrary, so he asked, "Then how do you think he should be dealt with!"
Xu Mo said, "I think Shen Tianyou's property should be confiscated, his property should be handed over to the national treasury, and his family should be exiled to a bitter and cold place, and they are not allowed to enter the capital for the rest of their lives!"
[This is good. Shen Tianyou has done so many bad things. If he doesn't suffer a little, how can he be worthy of my deceased grandmother and my good friend's depressed ancestor.]
Su Xiaoxiao was satisfied with the proposal.
Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's voice, Gu Huaiyu also came.
"Your son pays respects to the emperor, Lord Xu!" Gu Huaiyu greeted the emperor, and said hello to Lord Xu, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao likes the emperor so much that in the blink of an eye, she ran to the Qinzheng Palace again."
How could Su Xiaoxiao miss such a good opportunity to hug the emperor's thigh? She hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeve and said with a smile: "I like the emperor mother-in-law!"
The emperor's face was wrinkled with laughter: "Okay, okay, the emperor uncle likes Xiaoxiao too!"
Xu Mo was choked and his teeth fell out. He couldn't bear to watch it. He couldn't bear to watch it at all.
"Father and Lord Xu seem to be discussing something, Xiaoxiao, come back with me!"
Gu Huaiyu took a step back to advance.
As expected, the emperor said, "You came at the right time. We were discussing how to deal with Shen Tianyou. Lord Xu meant to confiscate Shen Tianyou's property and
exile him. What do you think?" Gu Huaiyu said, "I think this plan is very appropriate. Shen Tianyou's crime is not worth dying for, but it is more useful to let him live. The people in Southern Xinjiang are quite dissatisfied with the court because of the village massacre. Although Zhang Hu is guarding them, they still have resentment in their hearts.
It is better to exile Shen Tianyou and his family to Southern Xinjiang, so that the people in Southern Xinjiang know that the court has not broken its promise and has found the culprit of the village massacre."
Xu Mo looked at Gu Huaiyu. The little prince was a little abnormal. He was not a tyrannical person. Why was he so ruthless to Shen Tianyou?
Exiling to Southern Xinjiang was more terrible than sending Shen Tianyou to the eighteenth level of hell.
What kind of place is Southern Xinjiang? The people there are called Southern Barbarians, and they are the most united and protective of their own shortcomings.
Let's put it this way, even if the locals have a blood feud, once the other party fights with outsiders, they will help each other.
Shen Tianyou killed more than a hundred people in Southern Xinjiang, including many old, weak, women and children. The people of Southern Xinjiang hate him so much that their teeth itch. If Shen Tianyou goes there, it will be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
This method is a bit cruel, but isn't it just right to deal with Shen Tianyou?
Xu Mo quickly seconded the idea: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed kind and strategic. Not killing Shen Tianyou will not disappoint the old ministers. Exiling him to southern Xinjiang can also appease the people of southern Xinjiang. It really kills two birds with one stone!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was playing with the imperial seal, couldn't stand it anymore: [Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Xu Mo is indeed very good at dealing with people. Just now the emperor wanted to kill him, and he praised the emperor for his decisiveness. Now he praises the crown prince for his kindness and strategy.
The crown prince just wants to vent my family's anger. He should also be able to appease the people.]
The emperor always feels that something is wrong. He doesn't know if it's his illusion. Recently, the palace is always filled with the smell of flattery.
But the method of exile to southern Xinjiang is indeed very good. It not only reassures the people of southern Xinjiang, but also lets Zhang Hu know that the emperor is a man of his words.
The emperor nodded and said, "Let's do it this way! You can leave if you have nothing to do. Xiaoxiao, how about having dinner with the emperor uncle today?"
Seeing that the matter was set in stone, Su Xiaoxiao threw away the jade seal and stretched out her hand to Gu Huaiyu: "Brother Crown Prince, look for mother!"
The emperor's old face froze. Didn't he just say that he missed me? Why didn't he even have dinner with me?
But Xiaoxiao is still young, and it is understandable that she misses her mother. When she grows up, she can live in the palace for a long time and have no relationship with the prince.
I also have a happy fruit, and I won't be so bored every day.
[Uncle Emperor, although the food in the kitchen is delicious, we can’t eat it every day. Shen Tianyou has found a good home, and I’m going home to see my mother. If Shen Qingyu knew that she was going to be exiled, I wonder if she would be mad to death. Although I know that she won’t be trapped there for a long time, I’m still happy just thinking about it!]
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laughed out loud.
Seeing her happy, Gu Huaiyu was also in a good mood. Xiaoxiao seemed to dislike Shen Qingyu very much.
To be honest, he didn't like her either. Her eyes were full of calculation and shrewdness. He didn't know why the eldest brother always brought her with him.
But the eldest brother was lonely in his heart. It was a good thing to have a like-minded person to accompany him. However, something happened to the Shen family. Even if Shen Qingyu could escape, she could no longer be with the eldest brother.
Thinking of Gu Huaizhi, Gu Huaiyu felt a little sad. Although the eldest brother had always been polite and distant to him, he was his eldest brother after all.
