Chapter 83 Condemnation (two more)
"enough!"
Chu You couldn't listen anymore, and Fang Huairui was interrupted by his voice like ice.
He is a martial artist, and he has his own measure. He knows whether the dagger will kill him if he stabs it. The British man is clearly messing around.
Fang Huairui put down his right arm that wiped away tears, maintained his kneeling posture, and shouted recklessly: "His Royal Highness King Kang is just a prince, I just want to kill the old ministers who founded the country and kill the donkey!!"
His words were louder and louder than each word, and I wished that most of the people in the court could hear it.
The blue veins on Chu You's forehead jumped straight, and even the veins floated up between the neck.
"Wei Chen and his father and grandfather are loyal to the Dajing Dynasty. There is no credit or hard work. His Royal Highness Kang's move really chills the heart of the minister!"
Poppy scoundrel! Chu You couldn't help but think of these four words in his mind, and walked away heavily.
He didn't go back to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and walked directly past Fang Huairui, only to hear Fang Huairui's sloppy wailing from the rear: "I beg the emperor to decide the subject and the subject."
Chu You walked faster and swaggered.
He doesn't believe that the emperor can do anything to him? !
Fang Huairui knelt for a whole day and night without eating or drinking until the next morning, when he finally fainted from exhaustion.
Kang Kang stabbed the Prince of England with a knife, causing the life and death of Prince Fang to be unknown. The Prince of England was just such a direct son, and he was in tears. He would rather fight for the title and have the emperor severely punish the murderer.
When the censors heard the news, they finally couldn't hold back.
They flocked to the Dongnuan Pavilion in a swarm, presented the emperor with a splendid book, impeached King Kang Chuyou for hurting people, asked the emperor to behave in an authentic family style, and said: "Kang Kang is at fault, you should take it upon yourself, otherwise, how could it be? It's not that the world thinks that the emperor condones the murder of the imperial family!"
The Emperor looked at Zhezi noncommittally, but only ordered the **** King Xuankang to see him.
Those aristocratic clansmen who supported King Kang exchanged glances and decided to suppress the arrogance of these imperial censors, lest these poor literati from poor families would be presumptuous in front of their aristocratic families.
So, Wang Kangyin, the Minister of the Household, retorted: "Li Yushi, King Kang has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and the previous emperor also praised him for his heart.
"How can you listen to the British public?"
What he meant inside and outside of his words was that Fang Mingfeng was misbehaving.
Going deeper, it means that if the censors still disagree, they are questioning the late emperor.
It was less than a year after the death of the first emperor, and even the emperor had to obey the etiquette system and not change his father's will for three years.
The censors were blocked by Wang Kangyin's three or two words for a while, and even the emperor seemed to be a little embarrassed, and repeatedly stroked his beard.
After a while, the emperor cleared his throat with a dry cough, and said, "King Kang and the Prince of England are both juveniles, young and energetic, so they quarreled and pushed and shoved a few times."
The stern-faced Duke Wei saw that those noble families insisted on dragging Fang Mingfeng into the water, and the emperor still wanted to be a peacemaker, his face suddenly gloomy, and his heart was unhappy.
This is not possible!
Duke Wei snorted coldly and said unhappily: "In broad daylight, you dare to use a knife to hurt someone, how can the word 'push and push' be gently exposed!"
As soon as Duke Wei made his statement, he immediately made all the Xungui who were just here to join in the fun in awe.
After the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, Emperor Taizu made a great deal of meritorious deeds and conferred the four princes and twenty-eight marquis.
The laws of the Great King are that the titles of nobles are downgraded to one rank for three generations, and only the titles of the four princes are hereditary, and they will never be downgraded, standing above other nobles.
Duke Wei continued indignantly: "Fang Mingfeng is the only direct son of the Duke of England. If there is an accident, the descendant of the Duke of England will not be allowed to inherit the title, and the Duke of England will not be inherited!!"
On weekdays, although the four males occasionally quarrel and disagree with each other, they will support each other in the face of common interests.
After hearing that the Duke of England had fainted, Duke Wei went to see him and wanted to comfort him. As a result, Duke Ying was sobbing so hard that he took his hand and complained. Gui, don’t take these nobles in your eyes, dare to stab his son for no reason today, if he really lets him take that position in the future, maybe they will cut their titles to make room for those noble families…
The more Duke Wei thought about it, the more he felt that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.
His remarks made all the nobles present suddenly realize, and nodded their heads in deep agreement. It turned out that King Kang's picture was actually for this, really ulterior motives!
The emperor pondered and asked slowly, "What does Duke Wei mean?"
Duke Wei naturally felt that King Kang should be punished, but how to punish is also a difficult problem.
Chu Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, asked indifferently: "The sentencing is serious, I wonder how the Prince of England is hurt?"
"..." Duke Wei was stunned.
How could he know how Fang Ming's wind was injured, only to hear the British public cry that his son had been stabbed with blood, and his life and death were unknown.
However, the first prince's words reminded him that the sentencing is serious.
Elder Wei's eyes lit up, he had an opinion, and said sternly: "Taizu has something to say, the clan breaks the law, and the crime is one more class. Since King Kang stabbed Fang Shizi once, then let Fang Shizi stab him twice, the right should be bullshit. draw."
The other nobles looked at each other, all of them in high spirits, and felt that the idea of Duke Wei was absolutely impossible.
They couldn't wait to hurriedly agree, with a kind of unanimous attitude.
The officials headed by Wang Kangyin were all dumbfounded, and they felt that the situation was not good. They didn't care to mention how the late emperor praised King Kang, and said directly:
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. If you really follow Wei Guogong's words, if these two swords go down, the minister is afraid that King Kang's safety will be unpredictable, and the sentence will be too severe..."
The British government is now afraid that it has already hated King Kang. If Fang Mingfeng stabbed King Kang twice, King Kang would probably die!
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a middle-aged Xungui, who was five or three thick.
"That's it."
"The Great Ancestor also said, 'When people are in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed', since they have the ruthlessness of stabbing people, they must have the consciousness of being stabbed!"
“…”
Honourables, you said every word and I said every word, each with a louder voice than the other, looking like a rogue.
Dajing Dynasty has just been established for fifty years, and most of these noble titles have only been passed down for two or three generations. On weekdays, they are often mocked by those noble families secretly saying that the mud on their legs has not been cleaned.
However, when these people stand on the front line, their power is also amazing. Anyone who says a good word to Kang Wang will be scolded by them.
No one could convince the other, sparks were shining in the air.
In the midst of the commotion, Chu Yi sighed in a low voice: "Two swords are too heavy, and it's not good to use blood for blood."
His clear and peaceful voice was like a clear spring pouring down.
Those noble family officials heard the words like a treasure, and they echoed with joy: "Yes, yes, His Highness the First Prince is right."
Chu Yi elegantly put down the blue-and-white porcelain teacup in his hand, looked at Duke Wei and the others, and said, "But the evidence of the crime of the Seventh Emperor's uncle hurting people is conclusive.
"Yes yes yes!" The nobles also responded in a row.
The knuckles of Chu Yi's right hand gently tapped on the coffee table twice, and his warm eyes turned to the emperor above, and said warmly, "Then let's lower the rank."
After the words were finished, the Dongnuan Pavilion was silent.
Without waiting for the others to react, the emperor raised his hand and clapped the table, and sang in response: "Okay. Let's lower the rank to the county king."
Duke Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought: Yes, stabbed twice, it will only hurt for a while. King Kang is afraid that the scar will be healed and forget the pain.
Wonderful! Well punished!
also lest King Kang's idea of hitting their title would make him suffer first.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Duke Wei shouted first, smiling happily.
Duke Wei complied, and the other nobles were not dissatisfied, and they all shouted "Your Majesty is wise" with a loud and thunderous voice.
Some people were happy, while others looked stiff, looking at the curtain behind the door embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons.
Kang Wang Chuyou, who was summoned by the emperor, stood in front of the curtain at some point, his face sinking like water, and his body exuded a cold aura.
Without waiting for King Kang to speak, Wang Kangyin, the Minister of the Household, responded first: "If there is a mistake, you should be punished, the emperor is wise."
Wang Kangyin is not stupid, and it can be seen that the emperor has the intention to lower the title of King Kang this time.
Today, these nobles are here to disrupt the situation. If you should not drop the title and choose one of the two, the emperor is afraid that the emperor will push the boat forward and let the British public stab King Kang twice.
In this situation, it's just that Kang Wang acted too impulsive, and he had to take the lead and offend Xun Gui.
Wang Kangyin squeezed the cuff gently, and nodded to Chu You indistinctly, signaling him to bow to the emperor.
"Seventh Emperor Brother," the emperor's gaze passed through the crowd to Chu You, who was behind him, and asked lightly, "Do you have any objection to my decision?"
"..." Chu You's ears were buzzing, and a monstrous anger surged in his long and narrow eyes.
At this moment, he wanted to leave with anger, but there was still a trace of reason telling him that he couldn't go.
If he just walked away like this today, he would offend all the nobles.
And now, he can't afford to offend him!
Chu You tightly clenched his fists, his slender body was straight, like a long spear, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
His mood was extremely complicated, and there was a strong smell of fishy sweetness in his mouth. It seemed that there was an invisible pusher pushing him to this dilemma step by step!
He said to himself, in ancient times, there were Goujian and Han Xin, who achieved great things, so what if they endured temporary humiliation!
Even Emperor Taizu was despised when he was young, and he made the rhetoric of "Don't bully the poor."
…
For a long time, Chu You didn't move, standing still.
Silence spread, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
I don't know how long it took before he said sternly: "My younger brother leads the order."
He lowered his head, hiding the deep anger in his eyes and suppressing the anger in his heart.
With the fall of these four words, everything settled down.
Chu You stepped out of the Dongnuan Pavilion with a dark face, exuding an aura that no strangers should enter, holding a ball of breath in his chest, and continued to walk in the direction outside the palace with great strides.
Today's weather in Beijing is gloomy, the wind is strong and whining.
After leaving the palace, Chu You rode directly back to Prince Kang's mansion, and ran wildly in the racecourse, running lap after lap against the cold wind...
He rode his horse for three or four laps, and a young servant ran over with all his strength out of breath, shouting:
"Your Highness, the emperor has sent someone to issue the imperial decree."
"They, they have to demolish the gate of the palace!"
