Emperor Jing's thoughts paused for a moment and he looked at Li Yansong.
Li Yansong took over the conversation and said, "I heard that it was also a rule set by Lord Fang himself that a warning should be read out before arresting a criminal, and Fang Zheng should be asked to give a warning. I remember it was said like this..."
"You have no right to remain silent. If you remain silent, the Jinyiwei will assume that all the evidence they have is true and you will be punished according to the law. If you want to defend yourself, then every word you say will become evidence in court. If it is confirmed to be illegal, your crime will be aggravated. You have the right to hire a lawyer during the trial. If you cannot afford the lawyer's fee, we can introduce you to a pawnshop and mortgage your property. Do you fully understand your rights above?"
Emperor Jing clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, that's it. Look how well it was designed. When handling cases outside, the people will feel at ease after hearing it. Just this one point is enough for your Dongchang to learn!"
Guo Tianyang's eyes were filled with tears.
Isn't this the civilized version of torture?
"I understand. I will definitely learn from Master Fang in the future."
But at this moment, the door of the warm room was slammed open!
Then Li Yuanzhao rushed in like a madman and shouted, "Father!"
Emperor Jing stood up suddenly, his face full of anger and said: "Asshole! What are you doing? Get out!"
Li Yuanzhao didn't care and handed the letter to Emperor Jingdi, sweating profusely in anxiety: "Big news! The Princess's Mansion received a letter saying that Lao Fang was killed in the Jin Kingdom. Father, please take a look!"
"What?" Emperor Jing was shocked. Without time to think about anything else, he grabbed the letter and immediately held it in front of him.
Several old ministers headed by Li Yansong also looked at Emperor Jing's hand with anxious expressions.
I didn't see the content on the letter, but I saw that his face had lost all the color.
Emperor Jing trembled twice, and suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and fell back onto the small couch.
"Your Majesty!" Guo Tianyang leaned over in panic, trying to help.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing raised his hand to stop him, and sat there in a daze.
The old ministers asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Emperor Jing didn't say anything, still in a daze, his face was miserable, and he revealed an unprecedented frustration.
"How...how could this be?"
The letter slowly fell to the ground, and Guo Tianyang bent down to pick it up.
The moment his eyes swept across the paper leaves, his whole body shook violently.
The Kingdom of Jin is going to attack Dajing, and Fang Zhengyi is imprisoned in the Kingdom of Jin?
Is his life hanging by a thread?
Although Fang Zhengyi was sometimes annoying, they had been brothers for such a long time and had received a lot of money from him, so Guo Tianyang's heart was not made of stone and he immediately felt a little bit hurt.
This is nothing. The East Factory has secret agents in the Kingdom of Jin. They intend to launch an attack on Jing, but there is no news about such a big event. Isn't that a dead end...
Your Majesty has been with Fang Zhengyi for such a long time, and the capital has seen so many changes because of him, especially since he is your son-in-law.
He almost treated him as half a son, and the word "prince" appeared less often in his mouth than Fang Zheng.
What if something really happens to him...what should I do?
The terrible consequences appeared in his mind, and Guo Tianyang panicked. He almost instinctively knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve and kowtowed.
"Boom boom boom"
A muffled sound echoed throughout the greenhouse, and the old ministers' expressions became increasingly solemn.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die! This slave..."
Emperor Jingdi turned a deaf ear to him, and after a long while he lowered his eyelids and whispered, "Get up, this matter is not your fault."
Guo Tianyang shook his head desperately, tears in his eyes, and his forehead was already bright red.
"I told you to get up!" Emperor Jing shouted, "Take the letter down and circulate it!"
Guo Tianyang stood up in a hurry and quickly handed the letter to Li Yansong and others.
After reading the letter, everyone in the furniture fell silent.
Li Yuanzhao said anxiously: "Father, we should urgently dispatch troops to the border! Lao Fang is still trapped in Pantai City. If we delay any further..."
Emperor Jing closed his eyes and raised his head, sighing: "I...I have harmed him...At first he didn't want to go to the Kingdom of Jin, but I didn't expect...I didn't expect."
As he spoke, he began to grit his teeth: "Wu Tu has evil intentions. He had the guts to provoke me without me even looking for him! He even dared to kidnap my son-in-law!"
"court death!"
These last two words almost broke my teeth!
Li Yansong pulled his beard, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little. He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, is the content of this letter true?"
Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "It was sent by the eunuchs of the Princess's Mansion. We need to go to the Princess's Mansion to verify where it came from."
"For such a major event, doesn't the East Factory have any information? It would be nice to have some evidence," Li Yansong asked.
Guo Tianyang shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Of course, our people in Dajing cannot go to Jin Kingdom to be spies. They need to be trained in Jin Kingdom. The contact between the two countries has been short, and the number of trained spies is very small and they can only walk among the people. Recruiting soldiers is normal behavior, and there are many tribes in Jin Kingdom, which is extremely difficult to investigate, so Dongchang has no news..."
Seeing that Emperor Jing was still in a trance, Li Yansong hurriedly comforted him, "Your Majesty, the letter from Lord Fang said that he is safe and sound, and told us that the war is the most important thing. That means there is no need to worry for the time being. Why not summon the generals first, make plans in advance, and make arrangements early?"
The rest of the old ministers followed suit.
"Heh..." Emperor Jing suddenly laughed at himself, with anger in his eyes: "I am old, I didn't even notice Wutu's tricks. At the beginning, Zhengyi repeatedly told me that he didn't want to be an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin... But now he is in prison, and he still misses Dajing and me."
"You didn't let me down, and I didn't let you down. It was I who let him down..."
Looking at Emperor Jing's extremely inappropriate behavior, two lines of tears flowed down the wrinkles on Guo Tianyang's face. At this moment, his admiration for Fang Zhengyi had reached its peak!
What kind of spirit is this, what kind of dedication is this?
This is licking with life!!!
This is a height that we will never reach in our lifetime... I feel that I have lived my life to the fullest by being able to see it...
When Emperor Jing finished speaking, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and that hatred almost frightened everyone present: "Guo Banban, send someone to the Princess's Mansion to check the source of the news, and report to the palace as soon as possible."
"Order Feng Jie to inspect the three armies on my behalf. All commanders of the camps in the capital are to be on standby for orders. The commander of the Shenji Camp will come to see me alone. All other military commanders above the fourth rank who have no immediate arrangements will enter the palace within two hours."
"From tomorrow on, the Crown Prince will be the regent, but anyone with dissenting opinions will be deposed immediately!"
Li Yuanzhao was anxious: "No, I have to go too! Old Fang is in trouble, I can't just ignore him. Besides, I am an excellent spearman and I am better at operating artillery than others. I will definitely be helpful if I go!"
"Shut up!"
Emperor Jing gave Li Yuanzhao an extremely ferocious look, and he immediately shrank like a quail.
My father is very angry now, so we can only talk about it later!
A group of old ministers were also silently frightened.
There hasn't been such a battle for more than ten years. With such a large force like Wutu, the fate of the entire country is at stake. This battle may even be greater than the Battle of Ganjing that year.
Emperor Jing took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became domineering: "I don't want to start a war, Wutu destroyed himself, so I will fulfill his wish and lead the army to flatten the Jin Kingdom!"
Thump thump thump thump thump thump…..
