Chapter 293

In the book room.

Qu Changqing escorts Chu Pei to the Imperial Palace from the prison of the criminal department. At this time, Chu Pei is kneeling on his knees in the upper study, while Yuqian emperor patiently looks at Qu Changqing's and Hanche's foldouts and volumes.

When he went out of the study, Emperor Yuqian looked at the sound of the volume, and there was no sound. It was very quiet, but it was choking.

"Chu Pei, what kind of criminal law did you commit?" After a whole hour, Emperor Yuqian closed the last volume and put it on the Dragon case. He looked calmly at Chu Pei, who was kneeling in front of him.

"I know that I didn't do my duty of supervision. I have made such mistakes in my jurisdiction. Please punish me." Chu Pei was a very shrewd and careful man. When he opened his mouth, he attributed all his faults to negligence. Even if emperor Yuqian wanted to punish him, he would not be too severe.

When Emperor Yuqian heard Chu Pei's plea, he saw a trace of killing intention under his calm eyes. Was he guilty of being irresponsible? This is not a crime that can be sentenced again. It seems that Chu Pei is also a crafty man.

The slender finger holds the memorial on the Dragon case, and the Jade Emperor half droops his eyes and asks in a very low voice, "is it just a breach of duty? Chu Pei, you really have a problem for me. "

Hearing this, Chu Pei's face towards the ground was suddenly stunned, and his brow was wrinkled without any reason. He knew that emperor Yuqian must have doubts in his heart, for fear that he would not judge his own affairs lightly.

"The Xie family is the in law of the Chu family. Do you know what the Xie family has done? If you don't know, it's not just a fault of negligence. The first emperor granted you the title of border official, which was to trust your Chu family, so that you could manage such an important town as Youzhou. But you use your position to seek personal gain for your family. Now you still hide it. Don't you know it's a crime of deceiving the king? " He threw the fold on Chu Pei's body. The voice of Emperor Yu Qian was slightly raised, and his face was solemn and angry. I think it was Chu Pei's gentle plea to anger.

The fold hit Chu Pei's shoulder, then fell to the ground, making a sound of paper flipping.

Chu Pei then lowered his head and did not open his mouth at the time of emperor Yuqian's wrath, so as not to provoke him again.

"Qu Changqing, you personally accepted this case. How can I punish Chu Pei?" When Emperor Yuqian saw that all the people were afraid to speak, he calmed down his angry mood. When he was calmer, he began to talk. But this time it was Qu Changqing who left the question to Jingli. Hanwei's dragon eyes were even more focused on Qu Changqing and asked him to give an answer.

Qu Changqing knew the intention of emperor Yuqian to ask himself. He looked at Chu Pei, who was silent with his eyes. Then he took a step forward and bowed his hand and said: "emperor, now the head of the Xie family has pleaded guilty, and the Xie family has also been punished. Although Chu Pei was responsible for his oversight, he had no credit or hard work in managing Youzhou these years. Moreover, under the jurisdiction of Chu Pei, Youzhou and Nanxun have been at peace these years. Please see that the emperor will punish Chu Pei lightly for the good governance of Chu Pei. "

After listening to Qu Changqing's reply, there was a silence in the study.

However, Qu Changqing knew that the angry eyes of emperor Yuqian were staring at him. He thought that he must be very dissatisfied with his plea for Chu Pei.

"So, do you think I should not punish Chu Pei, but also reward him?" The clear voice came from the mouth of emperor Yuqian. He was half squinting his eyes at this time. A beam of cold light came from his eyes and hit Qu Changqing. He looked at Qu Changqing slowly, as if he wanted to see through him.

"I dare not!" Qu Changqing immediately knelt down, but his voice was tenacious and unyielding, and he said calmly: "the emperor, calm down, I mean nothing like this. In handling cases, the Ministry of punishment has always been clear about rewards and punishments. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. But right and wrong often offset each other, which can offset some crimes. Although Chu Pei didn't immediately know about Xie's family, he had been in Youzhou for many years, and he had made contributions to the stability of the south of the Western Chu. He also asked the emperor to see that for his hard work, Chu Pei could start from scratch. "

Qu Changqing said this very carefully. First, he didn't carry it out of the Chu family. After all, Emperor Yuqian was wary of the Chu family. At this time, if he took the Chu family as a shield and said that the Chu family's contribution was in the state, he was afraid that it would lead to the rebound of emperor Yuqian.

Secondly, he said the consistent way of the punishment department's judgment, so that emperor Yuqian could understand that reward and punishment should be clear, right and wrong, and the final result is the balance of the two.

It has to be said that since he took the post of minister of the Ministry of punishment, Qu Changqing has made great progress in response and eloquence. Even when Emperor Yuqian heard this, he was surprised by Qu Changqing's progress.

Without waiting for the Jade Emperor to speak, Qu Changqing continued, "this time Chu Pei was injured because of General Hu Wei's recklessness. Please let the emperor take care of Chu Pei's misfortune."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuqian suddenly sneered, and with a cold sneer, he spread it all over the study. The palace people who served in the palace lowered their heads one after another and dared not make a sound at this time.

"I know that you have made good friends with the princess of Chu, which is also the old part of the king of Chu. But Qu Shangshu, the public is the public, the private is the private. As the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, if the public and the private are not divided, I'm afraid it's difficult to obey the public. Just because Lu Xin attacked Nanxun without permission and Chu Pei suffered from skin pain, I turned a blind eye to the fact that the king of Chu had left LV Xin in Nanxun, without too much investigation. But at this time, I'm interrogating the case of Chu Pei. I hope Qu Aiqing can let go of his children's personal feelings and face up to it. Don't confuse your judgment because of blood relationship. I don't want my minister of punishment to be so confused, or I won't touch you to this position at the beginning. " But he didn't want to. After laughing, Emperor Yuqian didn't get angry again. Instead, he talked with Qu Changqing with great emphasis, hoping that he could realize his mistakes.Listening to the instruction of emperor Yuqian, Qu Changqing frowned without trace, knowing that the emperor's tone was gentle, but the implied meaning was extremely sharp.

If he followed the words of emperor Yuqian and asked Chu Pei to be severely punished, it would be obvious to admit that he had a weak heart. What he said before was totally suspected of shielding.

If he talks for Chu Pei again, it can only be said that he is stubborn and unidentified, but also in contempt of the majesty of the emperor, even the holy will is not in his eyes.

It can only be said that emperor Yuqian's words were really ingenious, blocking any way Qu Changqing opened his mouth.

When Emperor Yuqian saw that Qu Changqing didn't speak any more, he knew that Qu Changqing was looking at a person who was very sensitive despite his stupidity. He must have heard the real meaning of what he had just said, so he was smart enough to shut up and stop talking. Then he focused on Chu Pei and slowly opened his mouth. "Chu Pei, I also know that you have been in Youzhou for many years, your talents and learning have not been brought into full play, and you must have something in mind Not willing. "

"I dare not have such a rebellious idea. Please see it clearly! How could a sinful minister have such a damned idea when he received the emperor's favor? What's more, my father often teaches sincerers to serve the emperor and the West Chu. Sincerers dare not have such a mind. Please be aware! " Chu Pei immediately knelt down on the ground and pleaded with the enemy loudly. He even cleverly carried out the south mountain of Chu and asked emperor Yuqian to weigh the weight.

Different from Qu Changqing, Chu Pei proposed that the south mountain of Chu would not arouse other thoughts of emperor Yuqian. Instead, he would make emperor Yuqian understand that without the south mountain of Chu, don't talk about Emperor Yuqian, even his ancestors would not be able to sit on the throne of Jiulong.

After winning the world, the Jiang family assigned the only son of the south mountain of Chu to the border. Although he was a senior official in the border area, he listened well, but let the father and son of the south mountain of Chu separate thousands of mountains and rivers, and only saw one side for decades. This kind of Royal grace is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, which makes people feel cold and scared.

When Emperor Yuqian listened to Chupei's cry, he saw a trace of impatience in his eyes, but he still said, "you don't have to. I have a clear idea when I say this. If you were a straw bag, would you have such a brilliant son as the king of Chu? I just love you. You are the pillar of the imperial court. Why does emperor Tian Gao not want to be enterprising? The Xiejia married the Chu family, and you were a feudal official. Would you not know the private actions of Xiejia? Besides, you are in charge of the Youzhou seal, and Xie's family privately mines the jade mine. How dare they start without your seal? Chu Pei, Chu Pei, you really let me down. I thought that your father and son had been separated for a long time, so I wanted to transfer you back to the capital this year, but I didn't want you to do such a thing. It really made me very sad! "

In a word, Emperor Yuqian has already convicted Chu Pei, but in the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Yuqian was forced to do it, which means that he was reluctant to accept Chu PEI as a pillar of the court.

"All is the negligence of the guilty ministers, and I ask the emperor to condemn me!" However, Chu Pei took the responsibility of his oversight seriously. He didn't recognize the big hat that emperor Yuqian had put on him. He also offered to plead guilty, which was regarded as a step down for emperor Yuqian.

"Your stepmother, Xie Shi, and the two Xie family children she brought are all Xie family. Although Xie entered the gate of Chu family, she still had the blood of Xie family. If she and the two children were not punished, it would be difficult to block the long mouth of the world. Chu Pei, for the sake of fairness, I have to re judge! " Emperor Yuqian sighed slightly, and the gentleness in his tone stopped.

He sat up straight and nodded to Yu Gonggong beside him. The hall immediately heard Yu Gonggong's shrill voice, "Xia Ji, deputy commander of the xuanban guard, has an audience."

A breeze blew, Xiaji strode to the main hall, knelt next to Chupei, clapped his fist and kowtowed in a loud voice, "Xiaji, the micro minister, will see the emperor, long live our emperor."

When Emperor Yuqian saw Xiaji come in, his face suddenly sank, and he shot out a sharp death, saying the punishment to Chupei

In the cold mansion.

Xi Lin walked into the garden of cold Xiangfu quickly, looked around, found Chu Feiyang's figure, immediately came to Chu Feiyang's side, bent over Chu Feiyang's ear and whispered a few words.

Several people on the main table saw Chu Feiyang's bodyguard coming, and said things to the king in a very low voice with a cold face. They put down their chopsticks one after another, all of them looking at Chu Feiyang curiously. Among them, the look of haichenxi is the most playful. The smiling eyes show a funny look, which seems to be waiting for Chu Feiyang to change his face.

Chu Feiyang, however, listened to Xi Lin's report with a smile and a frown, and then raised his head when his face did not change at all. However, he saw that several people at the table were looking at himself and couldn't help laughing: "what's the matter with you? Why don't you eat? The vegetarian room of the cold phase mansion is a unique one, you can't miss it! "

With that, Chu Feiyang holds the chopsticks at his hand, picks up the vegetarian room in front of him again, and sends it to the entrance for a detailed taste.

"I don't know what kind of happy event made the king of Chu so happy that he even had such a good appetite!" Haichenxi took up the tea cup in front of him, tasted the sweet tea inside, and asked with words.

Chu Feiyang, however, was silent with a smile, and his face was full of spirits. He did not have the color of depression and rage that haichenxi expected to see. Instead, he was more refined than usual, which caused many rich families to peep at him, blushing and covering their shame with fan silk.When Su Zhai in his mouth swallows into his stomach, Chu Feiyang slowly opens his mouth, "I've always been in a good mood. When there is a long drought, there is dew, and when there is a home, there is knowledge. The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, when the golden list is inscribed. Of the four great joys, I have two. How can I not make my king happy? "

As soon as this speech comes out, the smile on haichenxi's face is cold. Among the several people present, Duan Wang and Chen Wang, including Hai Chenxi himself, all inherited the titles of their families. Only with the protection of their families did they have titles. Chu Feiyang was born in a very high background, but he was the only one who took the imperial examination and was the top one in high school, which really made people envious.

At this time, hearing Chu Feiyang read these four poems and fell into the ears of haichenxi and ChenWang, it was really ironic. For a while, they both had some food and couldn't swallow.

"When the king of Chu is happy, don't forget that his biological father is still in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. Is it unfilial for the king of Chu to be so happy, regardless of the feelings of the adults of Chu? If the king of Chu didn't understand this basic principle, how could he become a model for the common people of Western Chu? " Jiang Muchen will not give up. Seeing Chu Feiyang's words and satirizing himself, he immediately turns back and satirizes him. He refuses to let others down.

"The father's business has its own divine judgment. If the father is right, the holy one will let him go. If the father really makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely reward and punish him clearly. This king naturally respects the facts and the emperor's judgment. It is Chen Wang who makes people admire him and makes Princess Yuande come forward to fight against him. Is this the filial piety in your heart? What a compliment that king is! " Chu Feiyang smiles with confidence, but the smile in his eyes has already condensed into ice, like an ice blade stabbing into Chen Wang's heart.

"Chu Feiyang, you..." Chen Wang claps to the table with one hand, and his cold face is angry.

"Seven younger brothers and king of Chu, today is a good day for cold phase. How can they discuss filial piety? Is it a digression? If this is the case, I'm afraid that the king of Chu will not be able to compete with him, and the seventh brother will not be able to take up the judge of martial arts Seeing that Jiang Muchen and Chu Feiyang are about to fight each other, the ministers and their wives all look at the direction of the main table, and Duan Wang calmly opens his mouth.

"Hum!" Jiang Muchen glared at Chu Feiyang, then looked away, but his eyes turned to the pavilion in the garden. He saw the pale blue figure in the flying powder gauze, and he held his fist tightly, his eyes full of desire and ambition were repressed.

"Ha ha, what Duan Wang said is very true! If we are always out of context, I'm afraid we can't go to high school! " Compared with Chen Wang's coldness, Chu Feiyang's face is like peach blossom, full of smile, which makes people feel like a breeze blowing on their face, amiable and respectable.

Chu Feiyang's eyes also turned to the slim figure sitting in the bower, which was originally cold and arrow like. At this time, it was softened into a Wang hot spring, and he looked at the back of yunqianmeng with a little warmth. Seeing that she was in good condition, he took back his eyes at ease.

As soon as Han Che saw Duan Wang's words, when two princes in high position and holding great power turned their swords into jade and silk at the same time, he could not help turning his eyes to Duan Wang, who was sitting at the beginning end of the table. He saw that his face was always calm, his eyes were calm, his heart was calm and he had no desire.

With his eyes half lowered slowly, Hanche suddenly understood why King Duan had been standing in the court for so many years. He did not control the financial power of the Western Chu and did not have heavy troops in his hands. However, he was respected by Emperor Yuqian and respected by all the officials in the court. It was because he did not pursue power in the center of his eyes. If he had no desire, he would be just. At the same time, he was respected by others Respect.

It's no wonder that his exit forced Chen Wang, who had never been recognized by six relatives, to suppress his anger, and let Chu Feiyang, who had never been unrestrained, give him some face.

Such an end king really has some abilities.

All the people in the pavilion heard the sound of Chen Wang clapping the table, and they all looked back at the main table. They saw that there were different expressions on the faces of the dazzling men, but they sat at the same table, which was really hard to understand.

Qu feiqing covered her red lips with fan and whispered in yunqianmeng's ear, "there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere at the main table!"

Yun qianmeng naturally also noticed Chu Feiyang's indifference to the housewarming banquet in his eyes. Although Chu Feiyang was smiling, Yun qianmeng always felt Chu Feiyang's smile with a little scattered energy, as if his thoughts were no longer on the banquet.

Yun qianmeng subconsciously glanced at all the people in the garden, only to find that Qu Changqing didn't come, and only Chu Feiyang was standing next to his bodyguard, "cousin didn't attend the housewarming banquet today."

Qu feiqing followed Yun qianmeng's words and found a circle in the garden. He didn't see Qu Changqing's figure. He couldn't help muttering to himself in surprise: "eh, yes, my brother didn't come here. Is there anything else in the punishment department?"

A careless word reminds Yun qianmeng. His heart suddenly tightens. Yun qianmeng looks at Chu Feiyang again. It happens that Chu Feiyang also looks at her with her eyes raised. The eyes of the two meet. Yun qianmeng's eyes are asking. Chu Feiyang's eyes are affirmative.
