Chapter 341: Choosing an auspicious day to move to the fiefdom
Jie Jie stood up and bowed first.
"I don't know what crime I committed by delaying the Emperor's search for a beautiful woman, but I do know what crime I committed by resorting to lynching and attempting to murder the Marquis."
Prince Chang looked extremely unhappy. He felt that things had been very bad recently and he was always being held hostage by others.
Ever since I was a kid, I hated the feeling of being dominated by others.
He was filled with anger and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Why, do you still want to convict me? To put it bluntly, Li Ningwan is just a minister of our Xu State, or more bluntly, our dog. He killed our own dog, and I need to report it to you?"
Jie Qi turned around and glanced at the Marquis. He saw that the Marquis looked normal. Even the eldest daughter of the Li family was holding her chin and flirting with him, as if she didn't care at all about what the prince said.
He sighed in his heart, finally understanding the two words.
'Unworthy of the position'
'No one cares'
Although Prince Chang is a prince, his style of behavior is that of a petty man. No one will look down on such a style, no matter how powerful his family background is. Of course, he dare not look down on him. Perhaps only Miss Jiu and other young talents dare to look down on him like this.
He returned to the main seat and nodded to the two adults.
"I hereby order that the Right Censor-in-Chief, guilty of private punishment, be executed and exiled a thousand miles to Mobei to perform hard labor. Mr. Wang, the wealthy man, who was greedy for silver and betrayed his master, will also be exiled to Mobei. The rest, who slandered others for a mere ounce of silver, causing widespread rumors, will each be punished with fifty lashes of the cane."
He knocked on the wooden door to wake up.
"Is the Marquis satisfied?"
Li Ningwan looked at the still arrogant man, "What about him?"
Prince Chang crossed his arms and sneered, "My Lord, didn't you see? He doesn't even dare to sentence me. If it were me, I'd just let this matter go. Just swallow your anger. Besides, it's not like you haven't beaten me before. Why don't we even take it out?"
His unrepentant look is really annoying.
Jie Kai said, "Your Highness's status is special, and I need to report this to the Emperor before making any plans."
The air was quiet. If the news reached the emperor, perhaps the imperial concubine would make a big deal out of a small matter.
Jiang Jing stood up and said, "The Dali Temple suggested that Prince Chang's personality is not compatible with Shengjing. It would be better for him to choose a fiefdom and leave Shengjing."
Song Wang nodded: "The Ministry of Justice agrees."
Prince Chang was unconvinced: "You guys are trying to drive me out! Who the hell do you think you are?"
The princes who were granted fiefs were not allowed to return to Shengjing without an imperial edict.
If he did so, he would lose the chance to fight for the throne, so he absolutely could not leave.
Jiusu said calmly, "Don't wait until tomorrow, let's do it now, father. I'll help you go to the palace. I don't believe that the emperor really indulges him. If so, I'll accompany you to retire and return home, and our family will stay away from the court."
To be honest, she felt somewhat resentful.
This place is even more inhumane than my workplace. How can I work here properly?
Prince Chang sneered, "Who are you threatening? You can take this position or not!"
Jiusu's eyes condensed coldly for a moment, and he looked at him, "It's not your turn to threaten anyone. After all, you are just a useless person, and you are the prince for a long time."
"You, you, you, how bold!" Prince Chang stamped his feet, but could not utter a word of rebuttal. As a prince, he could not kill Jiusu at will. He looked at the person in the main seat and said, "Master Jie, when we get to see the emperor later, you must tell him everything she said that was so outrageous!"
Jie Qi felt the oppressive gazes coming from all directions.
His back stiffened, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will report the truth."
After entering the palace, they stood outside the hall waiting for the imperial edict.
Eunuch Shang shook his head, pushed open the tall door, walked to the emperor's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, Prince Chang and the Marquis wish to see you."
"Who?" Emperor Xu wished he could be deaf. "Why are they here again? Hey, it's not a good thing when these two show up together. Is the Marquis attacking Chang Rong again?"
Eunuch Shang stole a glance at the emperor's face and whispered, "It seems to me that the Marquis is injured. Also, the Three Officials and Lord Jiu are here, so he must be involved in some case."
"pass."
In the imperial study, the light was bright. Jiusu supported Li Ningwan and walked in front. When they saw the emperor, they knelt on the ground together. Unexpectedly, Li Ningwan vomited blood and fainted in the hall.
Jiusu was startled, but felt a light tap on the back of his hand.
Emperor Xu was also startled. He stood up and said, "Call the imperial physician!"
The imperial physician carried Li Ningwan aside for treatment. He knelt at the edge of the hall and sighed, "My Lord, your life is in danger this time. The wounds on your body are all severe, and every one of them is fatal."
At this time, Emperor Xu was also flipping through the memorials submitted by the Censorate.
His face was frighteningly gloomy. He swung his arm, and the memorial hit Xu Changrong's head. Seeing the red stain on it, he cursed, "You bastard, you've forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed, haven't you? How dare you resort to lynching? Do you want to be the emperor?"
OK-
Prince Chang thought this in his heart, his eyes shining, until he saw his father's face become even worse, then he reacted and knelt down and kowtowed: "Your son was wrong, your son was really wrong."
Emperor Xu pointed at his face, feeling extremely angry.
He didn't care about anyone and simply didn't give Xu Cairong any face.
"How many times have I forgiven you? Don't you have a brain? How dare you frame the Marquis? Do you know that the Marquis and I are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. In other words, he is your elder, your uncle!"
Prince Chang was not convinced, but he could only say with red eyes, "Your son was wrong."
Emperor Xu sighed, his tone filled with vicissitudes of life, and said, "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. However, you framed the Marquis, so I cannot be partial to you. How will the Three Courts determine your guilt?"
Jie Qian glanced at the people kneeling on both sides, and thought for a moment.
Then he said, "After discussing with the two gentlemen, I think that Prince Chang's bold and generous nature may not be suitable for Shengjing. Why not choose an auspicious day to move to his fiefdom?"
At the entrance of the palace.
Imperial Concubine Qi Jing had been here for a while. When she heard the verdict, her eyes darkened. She calmly walked before the Emperor, lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I am willing to follow Rong'er to his fiefdom and never return to the capital!"
Jiu Su: "..."
I don’t know whether the emperor loves the country or the beauty. Every time he meets Concubine Qi Jing, he loses his mind.
However, the imperial concubine had a strategy of both hard and soft tactics, and she also offered a good plan. She thought that the Minister of War should have received the letter and would be here soon. She really wanted to know what choice the emperor would make between beauty and the country.
Emperor Xu swayed and bent over.
"No, you can't go."
Concubine Qi Jing kowtowed: "Rong'er has a straightforward personality. I am afraid that something bad will happen to him in his fiefdom. No one will be watching him. After all, if he is in his fiefdom, he will not have the emperor's favor. Even dogs dare to bite Rong'er."
Emperor Xu frowned, turned around angrily, and said awkwardly, "You are doing this just to embarrass me. The whole harem knows that I favor you. Could it be that you are willing to give me up for a bastard son?"
