"Your Majesty, it will be difficult to pacify the people's anger without killing Wei Wenbin!" King Rong and the rest also began to step forward, begging Dong Fang to punish Wei Wenbin harshly. The other faction refused to be outdone, and the austere imperial court once again became noisy and chaotic like the last time.

Dong Fang Qian became upset as he listened. He used his strength to pat the handle of the dragon head, and shouted loudly: "Enough!"

When the officials saw Long Yan's anger, they all fell silent and no longer dared to speak. Only Liu Mingdao was still imploring Dongfang Qian to punish Wei Wenbin severely.

Dong Fang Qian gritted his teeth. This old thing who didn't know when to retreat, he had a good time!

"Your Majesty …" This time, Liu Mingdao had only spoken two words when Dongfang Zexuan raised his hand to stop him. The latter took a deep breath and said, "I understand what Liu Aiqing means. You're right. Wei Wenbin is guilty of heinous crimes, and they cannot be forgiven!"

When Wei Jin heard this, it was like a bolt out of the blue. Even though Empress Dowager Wei had already given him her bottom line, he still secretly hoped that Wei Wenbin would stay in Jinling openly.

He kowtowed again and again, and cried half truthfully, "This old official can only have Wen Bin, this young man, as his majesty, please show mercy. As long as Wen Bin is alive, this old official … This old official is willing to die for him! "

Dongfang Ru walked up to him and helped him up with a sigh. "Uncle, I am grateful to Wen Bin. Who would be grateful to those people who were killed by Wen Bin? They also have parents, family, wives and children."

Wei Jin said tearfully, "This old official knows that Wen Bin has sinned deeply, but he is not a bad person in nature. He is the only son of this old official. I beg for Your Majesty's mercy!"

"Uncle's achievements, both I and the Great Zhou will remember them, but... Wen Bin, please forgive me, Uncle! "

Wei Jin said in a trembling voice, "Seriously... "There's no turning back at all?"

"From the moment Wen Bin embarked on this path, he should have known what would happen today." After saying these words, Dongfang Shao's gaze turned solemn and cold. He released his hand that was supporting Wei Jin and used a voice that everyone could hear as he said word by word, "During my time as an official in Jiangning, Wei Wenbin had been greedy and unscrupulous. He had wronged and killed the citizens of Jiangning and his crimes were unforgivable. — —" Dongfang Shao closed his eyes and spoke without a shred of emotion, "The punishment will be decisive and executed three days later!" Between preserving Wei Wenbin's reputation and his own, he had ultimately chosen the latter. This choice was undoubtedly the right one, but it had also created a hidden danger for Dongfang Qian, which the latter did not realize.

Wei Jin lay paralyzed on the ground, his pale lips trembling uncontrollably, but he could not utter a complete word. Although he was acting, he was also really sad, he did not expect that he would have to suffer the pain of a father and son leaving in the nearing age of one year, and that it would be difficult for him to even see him again in the future. Moreover, Wen Bin had not only saved his life, but everything else had been ruined.

Only Wei Jin remained kneeling in the spacious hall. Dong Fang Qian lowered his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will protect Bin Bin. I won't really take his life."

Wei Jin lifted his face that had aged a lot, his lips quivering as he said, "I know, but..." This old official can't take this lying down. Liu Mingdao has gone too far! "

"How can I swallow it? It's just that I can't do anything to him now that he's acted rationally. But don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely get revenge for Wen Bin and Uncle's hatred."

Wyon came to Wei Jin's side and said in a low voice, "The ground is very cold. I'll help you up."

With the help of Wynn, Wei Jin struggled to his feet and said sadly, "I would like to see Wen Bin, in the future … I wonder when I'll be able to see him again. "

"Go, I will settle the rest." After Wei Jin left, Dongfang Chuan ferociously punched the coiling dragon red cylinder beside him, which scared Huaien so much that his heart was beating wildly. Huaien quickly pulled Wei Jin's hand, but fortunately, it wasn't too bad, it was just a bit red and swollen. "Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body.

Dong Fang Qian's expression was sinister as he said, "Some people don't think so!"

Wynne knew that he was still angry about what had happened, so he tried to persuade him, "Lord Liu is a bit too much, but he has that kind of stubborn personality. You know, it would be strange if he wasn't like that."

"Yes, I know!" Dong Fang Ju gritted his teeth and said, "I regret that I did not pull out this thorn as soon as possible, to the point that I gave him the chance to cause such a thing!"

"This old servant understands. After this matter passes, His Majesty can simply find a reason to do so. Senior Liu, I believe no one else would dare to say anything."

Dong Fang Qian calmed himself down and said coldly: "Liu Mingdao has dealt with it easily, but the others are very troublesome to deal with."

Wynand rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "His Majesty is talking about Prince Rong and the others?"

"You've seen how they've been hopping up and down these past few days. It's obvious that they want to go against me."

Wynne smiled apologetically, "No matter how hard they try, in the end, they are just fireflies. How can the light of fireflies compete with Haoyue!"

Dong Fang Qian snorted coldly, "It's a pity they don't know their own limitations. If it wasn't for them finding out who was holding the camp in their hands, they wouldn't have been able to act so arrogantly!"

Wynne said softly, "The king of the faith is dead. The only princes that the late emperor summoned before his deathbed are Duke Rong, King An, and Mu Wang. This old servant believes that I will find out soon. Your Majesty, do not be too anxious."

Dong Fang Qian knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he took a deep breath and returned to his throne. "Regarding Wen Bin's matter, who do you think should handle it?"

Wynn's eyes turned a bit as he bowed: "Master Wei is being held in the Ministry of Justice. If there are no accidents then the Ministry of Justice will be responsible for overseeing the execution. So I think we should choose people from the Ministry of Justice."

Dongfang Ru also meant the same, nodding slightly as he spat out a name, "Yang He?"

Wynn pondered for a moment, carefully considered the words and said, "Lord Yang is currently in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and has always maintained that the case of Lord Guard is handled leniently. He is the most suitable candidate, but he is not from the direct line of descent of His Majesty, so he recklessly handed the case over to him.

Wynn waited for a while, but he didn't hear Dongfang Ru speak. Instead, he stared at him and said nervously, "But this old servant was wrong?"

Dong Fang Qian laughed, "Yesterday, Jiang Fu told me that you've been suffering from rheumatism ever since you entered the autumn and that you often fall into so much pain that you can't sleep soundly at night. I was thinking that you're already in your fifties, so shouldn't you go out and enjoy your blessings?" Jiang Fu was the disciple of Wynn, and had been serving with him in the Hall of Cheng De all these years.

Your Majesty, the rain has been falling recently, and this old servant's hands and feet are a bit disobedient, but it's just a minor illness, and definitely not as serious as what Jiang Fu said. After a few sessions with the imperial physician, I've recovered a lot, and I can't stop Your Majesty from leaving.
