C278

The little Emperor thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course we have to punish him, but there is a reason behind prince leaving the capital. Therefore, I feel that they shouldn't be severely punished. Slightly punishing them to show that they are a part of the royal family's rules will suffice. What do you think?

These words immediately set off a huge uproar, and all the ministers voiced their disapproval. Ji Jingzhi took the initiative to leave the capital, and actually gave a small punishment.

Ji Jingzhi had the authority to rule the world, and was extremely arrogant to begin with. In the imperial court, he never cared about the feelings of the officials beside him, and had impeached countless of officials. He had also planted quite a number of his own people in the imperial court. There was no one in the imperial court who didn't know about this. The ministers were already dissatisfied with Ji Jingzhi. The officials who had been impeached had been severely punished. What about now? Ji Jingzhi had committed such a huge mistake, how could he not punish her severely?

The officials were already dissatisfied with Ji Jingzhi, but of course, they did not forget to impeach Ji Changhuai. After all, in the end, Ji Changhuai must have known that Ji Jingzhi had left the capital on his own. However, Ji Changhuai was deliberately hiding the truth, isn't that deceiving His Majesty?

"I beg the Emperor to severely punish Regent and prince so that we can get to the point!"

The more the ministers spoke, the more excited they became. In the end, they all begged the little emperor to punish Ji Changhuai and his sins.

The little emperor looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He forced himself to smile and pretended to be conflicted as he said,

It is just that Regent has achieved great merits for his country, and has also achieved great merits. Furthermore, prince has also done great deeds of diligence and hard work, and has repeatedly achieved great achievements. "I think that we should take this into account and mitigate the punishment on account of its merits."

The little emperor spoke up for Ji Jingzhi, but in his eyes, there were still traces of annoyance. He purposefully pretended to be humble and did not openly offend Regent and his son.

Only, even though the little emperor was "trying her best" to speak up for Ji Jingzhi, "thinking" to lighten the punishment Ji Jingzhi received. However, the ministers did not buy it. One by one, they insisted on what they were thinking.

Seeing that, Shen Che's eyes were full of smiles. He took a look at the Forensics table and added fuel to the fire.

Shen Che thought that no one had noticed the interaction between him and the historical platform, but he did not know that this scene was being looked at by the extremely meticulous Ji Jingzhi. Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi became serious.

The imperial history arena understood, and quickly listened to Shen Che's thoughts, advising the little emperor again.

"Your Majesty, you have to remember how to properly reward her!" Although the Regent and the prince had done wondrous things, they had already received a reward. "Since you can be rewarded for doing such a good deed, aren't you supposed to punish those who have done wrong?"

When the little Emperor heard this, he smiled. However, this smile only lasted for a moment before the little Emperor revealed a displeased expression.

"What our beloved one said does indeed make sense, but, we do not have the heart to heavily punish Regent and prince. In the end, they are still members of the royal family. "

The little emperor was in a difficult position and seemed to be in Ji Jingzhi's direction. However, this further deepened the official's dissatisfaction with Ji Jingzhi.

They all expressed their dissatisfaction with the Regent father and son duo, their expressions excited, their accusing voices resounding one after another. The entire imperial court was filled with the sound of impeachment.

Regent saw that the situation was bad and immediately kneeled on the ground. Seeing that, Ji Jingzhi knew he was in the wrong and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject and my son are guilty. May Your Majesty punish them." Your Majesty, please don't be angry over this. This subject and my son already know their wrongs. This humble servant will definitely urge my son to abide by the rules of the palace and not commit any more crimes. "

Ji Changhuai's tone sounded extremely sincere, as if he already knew his mistake.

Seeing Ji Changhuai's expression, Ji Jingzhi's heart inexplicably had a bad feeling. Ji Changhuai had always been a majestic person, but when had he ever been in such a lowly situation? It was all because of him that he had left the capital on his own. He had caused trouble, and even his father had been implicated.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject left the capital without permission. He deserves a heavy punishment. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my father and not punish him. "I beg Your Majesty for your grace."

When the little Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed. When he saw Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi being forced to stoop down and take small postures, he only felt happy in his heart.

However, the little emperor still feigned a regretful attitude and said, "prince Ji Jingzhi has violated palace rules and left the capital without permission, receiving a penalty of one year's imprisonment. Regent did not fulfill his duty of supervision, he did not report the matter, and was instead punished to serve for half a year. If we are to punish them like this, we shall do so in the future! "

With that, the little Emperor looked up at the ministers with all sorts of expressions.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Although they were unhappy, but when they saw the little Emperor punish Ji Jingzhi and Ji Changhuai, they did not say anything against it.

The little emperor nodded and continued, "The justice court's chief official and the city governor both neglect their duties. The heavens cannot tolerate this. They must withdraw from their duties!"

When Chang Feng and the city governor heard this, their expressions greatly changed. They never thought that the two of them would actually become the fish in the pond. Beads of sweat covered their foreheads, and their palms were covered with sweat.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Your Majesty is wise! "

The two of them knelt on the ground and took off their hats, which represented power, and handed them over to the eunuchs.

Seeing this, Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi could not tell what they were feeling in their hearts. These two were their people.

Ji Jingzhi wanted to refute a little, but he was in the wrong. The little Emperor had punished him with reason, even if he was dissatisfied with her, he could not do anything about it.

The little emperor looked at the eunuch beside him and waved his hand.

The eunuch accepted the order and walked to the front of the official, saying, "We have a letter for you to play, we will not leave this court!"

The ministers did not have any memorials to present, so they did not make a move.

The eunuch saw this and said, "Withdraw!"

The ministers saluted the young emperor and said, "We will take our leave."

The little Emperor narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. The ministers left.

The little Emperor leaned against the dragon throne and heaved a sigh of relief. The posturing he put on today was tiring to his bones.

Deep in the night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A person wearing night clothes was shuttling back and forth between the beams of the room like a ghost. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch him. He could only see a series of afterimages.

In next to no time, this person descended into a large courtyard house and entered the study.

Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi were discussing business, and when they saw him walk over, they immediately asked him a question. The father and son knew that this person was Shen Che's man and that he had come for some important matters.

"Regent, prince. Master Shen sent me to tell the two of you. Xu Family and Wei Family both passed paper money to His Majesty, wanting to get two positions missing. The intention is very clear, please be on your guard. "

This person spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Upon hearing these words, Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi looked at each other, their expressions becoming gloomy, and their hearts involuntarily becoming cautious.
