Chapter 532: Clear and Clear
A civil strife started because of the Protector of the Country and ended because of the Protector of the Country.
The young emperor waited anxiously for the result in the palace. In the afternoon, Eunuch Huang ran in excitedly and said, "Your Majesty! It's solved! The Duke of Protectorate has killed the rebels! Without sacrificing a single soldier!"
Jin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked excitedly, "What about my uncle?"
Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "They are reorganizing the troops. They say there are still some people like General Pang who were deceived. They should be taught a lesson."
Jincheng also thought of that silly general.
He tilted his head and asked, "Did the Protector of the Country say that he could finish the work today?"
Eunuch Huang shook his head and said, "No, but it should be very difficult. Things over there cannot be dealt with in a short time."
"Oh... okay." Jin Cheng curled his lips, a little disappointed.
But until the evening.
The Duke of Protectorate entered the palace.
The little emperor, who was busy reviewing memorials, raised his head and asked in surprise, "Uncle? Is it my uncle who is here?"
Jin Cheng quickly put down his pen and just as he ran out he saw Luo Jingfeng, who was standing in the yard without coming in. No one knew what he was thinking about, with a tense face.
The little devil shouted in surprise: "Uncle!"
The child was as happy as if it was New Year's Day. He flew over like a butterfly and hugged Luo Jingfeng tightly. He looked up happily and said, "Uncle, you're back!"
Luo Jingfeng was shocked by this blow and felt mixed emotions.
This brat did such a thing, yet he still has the nerve to be so enthusiastic towards him. He is so shameless.
Luo Jingfeng asked coldly, "Did you have a good dinner?"
Jin Cheng's eyes widened, and he said guiltily, "It was just...just evening, it wasn't even dark yet, I, I had lunch!"
There were a lot of memorials, and he lacked experience, so he was not as skilled as Prime Minister Shen in reviewing them, so he had to review them until very late.
But today his uncle was not in the palace with him, and he even forgot the time to eat.
Luo Jingfeng's face turned dark upon hearing this. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the little bastard's ear, dragging him towards the house: "Someone, serve the food!"
The little devil screamed, "Ahhhhh...Uncle, you can pull my arms, my hands, my face, but you can't pull my ears! What if my big, smart, and cute ears are damaged by you!"
Luo Jingfeng sneered: "Let it do something bad to me, you little bastard. Aren't you very capable? You locked me up, try again?"
The little devil cried out, "I was wrong, I was wrong, my best uncle in the world, please forgive me, okay? Just this once, I promise there won't be a next time! I will never lie to you again!!"
"Oh!"
"Uncle, uncle? Uncle! Uncle..."
"snort!"
"Cheng'er loves uncle!"
"Don't try that, you little liar."
"Hehehe...what I say now is true!"
"No."
“Really really really really!”
"…I'm so annoyed. Why are you talking so much? Eat!"
"Oh, okay... Eh? Uncle, this is delicious, this is delicious, and this is delicious too! The rice is still the same rice, but because uncle is with me, even ordinary rice has become a delicacy!"
“………………”
The meal made Luo laugh several times.
This little bastard is simply hard to hate.
Debt collector.
After dinner, Luo Jingfeng told him what happened outside the city: "Except for Zhao Feng who was beheaded on the spot, I didn't deal with anyone else. You can decide for yourself tomorrow morning."
If he had followed his previous style of doing things, the rebels would have been punished, even the deceived General Pang and others; and Zhao Feng's conspiracy to rebel was the most serious, and all nine generations of his clan must be killed.
But now that he knew his nephew had his own ideas, he resisted the urge to take action and didn't even offer any suggestions.
Jin Cheng thought, "General Pang was also deceived, and no substantial harm was caused. He needs to be punished, but he cannot be punished too severely, so as not to hurt the hearts of the soldiers, who know nothing down there... How about this, a one-year salary deduction and fifty canings, General Pang should be able to bear it."
Luo Jingfeng was so shocked that he didn't even bother to respond.
A civil official could withstand fifty blows from the stick, and a hundred blows from General Pang would be considered light.
Jin Cheng added: "Zhao Feng was guilty of treason, which is a serious crime. According to the law, he should be executed along with all his clans."
Luo Jingfeng looked up at him in surprise.
The law is the law, and reality is reality.
The nine clans wanted to kill thousands of people, but Cheng'er was so cruel?
Jin Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't think of me as too fragile. Although I am a little scared, I am not going to kill him myself. Aren't there still the executioner and Buyan?"
Luo Jingfeng frowned and nodded: "That's true."
Bu Yan, who just walked in: “……!”
I should have sawed off my legs, dug out my eyes, and chopped off my hands!!
Luo Jingfeng was about to leave in the evening. He remembered that his wife was still running a fever and the house was probably in a mess. He had to go back to check...
Jin Cheng pitifully tried to keep him: "Uncle, can you sleep with me today? I don't feel safe. I'm afraid you'll leave and never come back."
Luo Jingfeng was shocked: "..."
Debt collector!!
After turning off the lights, Jin Cheng clinging to his arm, his mouth as sweet as honey as he continued to praise his uncle's achievements, appearance, skills and heroic demeanor, like a complete flatterer.
Luo Jingfeng looked up at the sky in silence.
He hates flatterers the most because such people are hypocritical and never tell the truth.
But my nephew’s praise was different. When he spoke, his eyes were always bright and his tone was always sincere, as if it really came from his heart.
Luo Jingfeng refused to admit that he was so overjoyed by a child, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Jin Cheng came over slowly and suddenly said, "Uncle, I had someone intercept the imperial edict you asked me to deliver to my eldest uncle last time... But don't be angry, you were the one who intercepted my memorial first, I was just fighting back normally."
Luo Jingfeng turned over and faced away from him: "Whatever you want, I won't be involved in your mess from now on."
Jin Cheng climbed up and looked at him. In the moonlight, he saw that the other person looked unhappy. He reluctantly rolled over from Luo Jingfeng and lay face to face with his uncle again.
Luo Jingfeng was shocked: "..."
This broken bed is too wide, there is no way to hide.
If he had known earlier, he should have brought in a small couch!
Jin Cheng whispered again: "Uncle, I'm not stingy for not giving my eldest uncle a fief. I just think he's doing well in Yunnan, why do you want to expand his fiefdom all of a sudden... I'm afraid that if he asks for this piece this time and I give it to him, he'll ask for it again next time. Then when his fiefdom gets bigger and bigger, will he lead his army to the north to fight me?"
Luo Jingfeng opened his eyes in surprise and scolded, "Nonsense, your uncle is not that kind of person. How many times do you want me to tell you?"
Jin Cheng said aggrievedly: "But I have never met my uncle, how can I know if he is as good as you say? What if he deceived you like General Xiaofeng?"
Luo was shocked and said firmly: "Impossible!"
Jin Cheng was still arguing: "How is it impossible? Think about it, he clearly wanted to expand his fiefdom, but he used the name of growing mushrooms to coax me, and even said that mushrooms can solve the problem of food and satiety. Listen to what he said, isn't it true? How can mushrooms be so powerful?"
