Chapter 325 My Own Thoughts
Lin Fu saw his posture and then looked at Emperor Yongping's expression.
He quickly stood up and used all his skills, together with Xiao Liangzi and several eunuchs, he finally dragged Wang Zhenyue out of Yu's study.
Wang Zhenyue was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, shouting at Emperor Yongping to punish him, but in the end he endured it and did not resort to force.
These eunuchs were all innocent. If he refused to cooperate and was dragged out by them, he would probably be beaten by them as well.
Forget it, forget it. Shouldn't we just let him wait for his fate? He just waits.
Wang Zhenyue was taken away. Emperor Yongping pinched his brows and continued to talk to Cui Jinyu about Liangcheng.
Cui Jinyu was originally a court official, so he would naturally obey orders wherever Emperor Yongping told him to go.
After receiving the personal letter from Emperor Yongping, he left the palace and returned home to prepare for the departure.
"Father, I will take Shu'er back to the East Palace to make preparations so that we can set off as soon as possible."
Chu Chengyi knew that Wang Zhenyue’s performance today gave Emperor Yongping a headache, but he didn’t intend to say anything more.
"Go and take good care of Shu'er."
Emperor Yongping pinched his brows again, then waved his hand towards Chu Chengyi, signaling him to hug Chu Qinshu.
Then he watched them leave Yu's study before he collected his thoughts and picked up the memorial on Yu's desk.
Punish Wang Zhenyue?
What should be done?
He did not hold Wang Zhenyue responsible for Wang Huaiduan's affairs.
Are we going to punish him for this eavesdropping incident today?
Or, how about giving him a beating as he wishes?
Emperor Yongping had some conflicts.
The court always treats retired veterans with honors.
Those with high ranks would be given idle positions, and they would also be allowed to participate in important court meetings.
Of course, there were also people like Wang Zhenyue, who had a close personal relationship with him and enjoyed his trust, and would participate in state affairs.
Generally speaking, unless they commit serious crimes, they will not be punished easily.
The matter of summoning Cui Jinyu to the palace for discussions today cannot be spread outside.
Wang Zhenyue’s eavesdropping could not be made public.
Without this excuse, beating him with a stick would be unjustified.
Forget it. He was not summoned to the palace, so just punish him by sending him back home and confining him to his room for a month.
As for Lin Fu, he was given twenty strokes of the cane as a lesson to prevent him from bringing people into the palace without authorization the next time he is summoned out of the palace.
And the guards at the palace gate cannot be allowed to escape responsibility.
......
"Your Majesty, I have the palace entry token you gave me. I can enter the palace even without being summoned, so the guards on duty at the palace gate are not guilty."
When Wang Zhenyue learned that Emperor Yongping only punished him to return home and be confined to his house, but wanted to punish Lin Fu and the guards at the palace gate with a stick, he ran back to Yu's study to defend them.
"You... forget it. As you said, the guards at the palace gate will not be punished. However, Lin Fu failed to keep an eye on you, so he must be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
When Emperor Yongping heard Wang Zhenyue mention the token, he realized that it was indeed the case.
This token was a reward that Wang Zhenyue received when he returned to Beijing that year. He had never used it once before, but he was allowed to use it today.
"I accept the punishment. I thank the emperor."
When Lin Fu heard that he was only to be punished with twenty strokes of the cane, he immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Oh my God, he was so scared, he thought he was going to get a hundred strokes of the cane.
He could still endure twenty strokes of the cane.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin was unable to stop me, causing me to make a mistake. Isn't it too little to punish him with only 20 lashes? He should be given at least 100 lashes. Otherwise, how can you shock others?"
Before Lin Fu finished bowing, he heard Wang Zhenyue's "sarcasm".
I was so exhausted that I couldn't speak, and my mind was filled with memories of working in the palace for the past few decades.
He had never offended Wang Zhenyue, and he had never offended even the young men and women in the Wuwei General's Mansion.
Why is Wang Zhenyue still so picky about it?
"Lin Fu is my man, how to punish him is up to General Wang."
Emperor Yongping was also somewhat confused by Wang Zhenyue's words.
He was the 'main offender', yet he was only sentenced to one month's house arrest.
Lin Fu was beaten with twenty boards for failing to supervise properly. Isn't that more severe than his punishment?
Or did Lin Fu offend him today?
"Hehe, I dare not. Your Majesty, it is up to you to decide how to punish Eunuch Lin."
Wang Zhenyue scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
It would be useless for him to rush to take the beating for him since he couldn't increase Eunuch Lin's guilt.
After all, there were only twenty strokes of the cane, and no matter how hard he was beaten, he would not die.
"Okay, go back home. Stay here for a month and draw more pictures of weapon improvements."
Emperor Yongping glanced at Wang Zhenyue and didn't want to pay any more attention to him.
Xiao Liangzi stepped forward and asked him to stand up, wanting to personally escort him out of the palace.
Wang Zhenyue wanted to stay in Yu's study to think of a solution, but seeing that Emperor Yongping looked unhappy, he did not dare to stay.
He also knew his own identity. If Emperor Yongping treated him arbitrarily, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the military generals in the court.
Therefore, I had no choice but to return home and stay under house arrest.
Only when his footsteps disappeared outside Yu's study did Lin Fu relax from lying on the ground.
"Someone, take Lin Fu down to have him beaten with a stick."
Emperor Yongping disliked Lin Fu for his incompetence in doing his job, and for not being able to keep an eye on people, and for being too tight-skinned.
Lin Fu was very grateful that Emperor Yongping did not listen to Wang Zhenyue's "advice".
When they went down to be beaten with the stick, they all looked relaxed and smiling.
The guards who were about to beat him were all dumbfounded.
Emperor Yongping also felt that today was too violent, and one or two people were a little abnormal.
Chu Qinshu woke up when she returned to the study in the main courtyard of the East Palace, so Chu Chengyi asked Nanny Yao to carry her downstairs to bathe and feed her.
He himself was thinking about the arrangements for going to Baicheng and Xicheng.
During this trip, they not only wanted to destroy Liu Renyi's plan, but also to uncover the spies in the Baicheng Army.
The warships of Yansha Kingdom have already sailed into the waters of Qingluo Kingdom. I am afraid that the spies lurking in the Baicheng Army have already received the mission assigned to them by Liu Renyi.
"Daddy, hold me."
When Chu Qinshu was sent into the study by Qiu Gu, Chu Chengyi was looking at the map, his eyes fixed on Baicheng and the sea.
"Shu'er, be good."
Chu Chengyi took Chu Qinshu, let her sit on his lap, and looked at the map with him.
"Daddy, Shu'er, fly..."
[Dad, we can ask the spirit birds to help...]
The pictures of this time and space are very simple, and nothing can be seen. Chu Qinshu has her own ideas.
However, she had never fought a war in her past or present life, and she couldn't judge whether her ideas could achieve Chu Chengyi's goal.
It's a good opportunity to discuss it now.
"Well, Shu'er's idea is good. Daddy thinks this is a good idea..."
"Yes, Shu'er, listen."
[Hmm, Shu'er, listen to Daddy. ]
......
After the father and daughter had finished their discussion, they had dinner quietly and went to Jinseyuan to reunite with Yu Jinyi, Chu Yanjing and others.
Afterwards, return to the main courtyard to 'rest' as usual.
After the curfew, Chu Qinshu summoned the White Tiger King and the Snow Wolf King, and teleported away from the palace with Xiao Hulu and Chu Chengyi.
In the palace, Chu Qinshu and Chu Chengyi tacitly agreed not to mention the Eagle King and the Eagle King.
When they reached the mountains on the other side of Baicheng, they replaced the Eagle King and the Hawk King, who led them straight to the sea.
