Chapter 327 Release
Many treasures, silver, and so-called treasures,
How to arouse Li Qing's curiosity?
He was sitting on the throne.
Still calm, he asked slowly, "Bo Yikao, Bo Yikao, do you know what crime your father, the Marquis of Xibo, committed?"
When Bo Yikao heard this, he immediately looked up, his eyes full of anger.
In his heart,
My adoptive father, Duke Xibo, is certainly not guilty of any crime!
Father speaks frankly and advises his superiors!
It’s all for the sake of family, country and the world!
It’s for the common people!
What sin is there?
But you, the tyrant, feel ashamed.
This is why they randomly found a false accusation.
Falsely accuse my father,
It just landed my father in jail!
But these words,
Bo Yikao still couldn’t say it!
Under his wide sleeves, his fists were already clenched.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, your father has committed the grave sin of cursing Your Majesty and cursing the prince..."
Li Qing nodded, then calmly asked, "Bo Yikao, I heard that you were quite experienced in governing Xiqi, and I believe you are very familiar with Shang law. Now, I want to ask you, according to Shang law, what is the level of criminality for cursing me or my descendants? What is the punishment?"
When Bo Yikao heard this, his face turned pale.
Then he lowered his head and spoke slowly, "Cursing, filthy words, humiliating, or mocking the Human Emperor is a first-class crime, punishable by tongue removal, cutting off the nose, gouging out the eyes, or castration..."
Li Qing nodded slightly after hearing this.
After he finished explaining the criminal law, he leaned forward slightly.
Looking at him, he said slowly, "Then what kind of punishment do you think Xibohou should receive?"
"His Majesty!"
Bo Yikao was startled and raised his head, shouting, "Your Majesty, I only spoke carelessly. I didn't mean to curse Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I was concerned about the fate of the country and the people's suffering. I was so excited! Your Majesty!"
"I ask you, what punishment should the Duke of Xibo receive?"
Li Qing, however, had an indifferent expression. He looked at Bo Yikao and asked again in a slow voice.
Bo Yikao was so angry that he could hardly suppress it!
He just looked straight at Li Qing and was about to threaten him again.
But this time, when he looked at the Human Emperor again,
But I only feel that the Human Emperor’s majesty is unparalleled!
Being stared at by the Human Emperor,
I didn't even dare to say the words of indignation in my heart!
Not to mention that if His Majesty refuses to agree, it will cause resentment among the people of Western Zhou.
Once an uprising breaks out, there will be turmoil in China.
After staring at each other for two breaths, Bo Yikao's mind collapsed again.
He just lowered his head and cried, "My king, please forgive me! I, your father, have insulted your king. I deserve it, I deserve it..."
Bo Yikao prostrated himself on the ground and endured it for a long time.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "You deserve to be mutilated!"
For a moment, all the ministers in the hall,
Suddenly there was a lot of noise.
Bo Yikao was Ji Chang's adopted son and had received Ji Chang's kindness for decades.
But now they are sentencing Ji Chang.
This is truly unfilial!
Bo Yikao wept bitterly and fell to the ground,
He just felt that he was really timid today!
Normally I also claim that I am not afraid of death,
But why did he become so frightened after looking into the eyes of the Human Emperor a few times?
Li Qing saw this and laughed.
He raised his hand and gave a slight pressure, and all the ministers immediately fell silent.
Li Qing looked at Bo Yikao and smiled faintly, saying, "Good Bo Yikao! If you insist on pleading for mercy, I will not pardon your father's crime. But you know that the laws of the country are greater than heaven, and you do not shield him based on family ties. You can make a fair judgment, which is deeply pleasing to me. In this case, I will fulfill your filial piety and love for your father. Today, I will pardon the crime of the Xibohou curse. You, take him back to Xiqi!"
"His Majesty!?"
When Li Qing said this, Bigan was startled and stepped out suddenly.
Bowing to Li Qing, he said, "Ji Chang's words offended his superiors. How can you let him off so easily?!"
While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Li Qing.
Conveyed his original intention.
Xiqi's rebellious intentions are obvious. How can you, Your Majesty, let its leader go back?
Isn't this like letting the tiger return to the mountains?
Li Qing smiled and glanced at Bigan, raised his hand and said, "Uncle, don't worry too much. I have my own plans."
After saying this, he looked at Bo Yikao and asked, "Why, you don't want your father to return?"
"ah!"
Only then did Bo Yikao come to his senses.
He almost thought he had heard it wrong!
At once he cried out in surprise,
He then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, be merciful! I thank Your Majesty for your great grace! I thank Your Majesty for your great grace!"
"Okay, go down."
Li Qing waved his hand lightly.
Bo Yikao then kowtowed again.
He stood up nervously and left the court.
"Your Majesty! Ji Chang cannot be put back!"
When Bo Yikao left the Wanshou Palace, Bigan finally couldn't help it.
He frowned and shouted, "If Xiqi didn't have Ji Chang, it would still be leaderless. But if Ji Chang goes back, the Xiqi rebels will be determined and rebellion will happen in the blink of an eye!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Ji Chang cannot be put back!"
"Your Majesty! I think that not only should Ji Chang not be released, but Bo Yikao should also be imprisoned to make Xiqi feel uneasy!"
"That's right! I second the motion!"
"I second this motion!"
…
Li Qing saw that the court began to become chaotic with people talking at the same time.
He raised his hand and slapped the table, waiting for all the ministers to be silent.
Then he said calmly: "I released Ji Chang for the sake of people's hearts. He insulted me so much, but I still didn't care about him. I let him go and let him go. In this case, if he still chooses to rebel after returning, it will be his fault. Then, I will stand for justice."
