Chapter 367 Compassion
Chapter 367 Compassion
That's how the Princess of Zhen Guo broke the legs of Zuo Xiang's son and threw him before Zuo Xiang's car.
The people praised each other, and they couldn't help but think of Princess Zhen Guo who once beat the concubine of the Bai family who bullied the people on the long street, and punished the fourth daughter of the Bai family because Bai Jinzhi whipped the treacherous person who went to the Bai mansion to make trouble. girl.
They all lamented the love of the Bai family in the capital city, and they really regarded the people as blood relatives, not just talking.
Prime Minister Zuo condoned his sons and heirs to bully the common people, and the government didn't dare to take care of it, but the princess of Zhenguo did.
Li Mao, the prime minister on the left, cried bitterly in front of the emperor, saying that after covering up his son's crimes, he was condemned by his conscience every day, and felt deeply ashamed of his trust in the emperor. Now that Princess Zhen Guo found out about this matter, he was relieved and at the same time felt ashamed, so he came here to ask the emperor to punish him.
The emperor had always trusted Li Mao, and he was annoyed, but he didn't know why...he felt a sense of sympathy with Li Mao.
The son of Zuo Prime Minister Li Mao was targeted by Bai Qingyan, and Bai Qingyan broke his leg.
The emperor's son was also targeted by Bai Qingyan, and then Bai Qingyan forced the emperor to demote his son Xinwang to a commoner and sent him to Yongzhou.
However, even if it is an ordinary family in this world, if there are many children... there will be one or two unworthy offspring, who wouldn't clean up the mess for their own son?
Don't everyone want to be like the Bai family of the Duke of the Town, where the children will kill their relatives if they make a mistake?
In this metropolis, are there not many noble officials who clean up the mess for their children? Then Lu Xiang didn't wipe the ass of his grandson who was playing with cats and dogs all day long?
It can only be said that it is unlucky for Li Mao to be targeted by Bai Qingyan. Li Mao is also to blame for not even wiping his son's butt clean. Bai Qingyan deserves to be caught.
But as the emperor, he couldn't say this to Li Mao.
"Forget it..." The emperor looked at Li Mao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and bluntly said that he was ashamed of his kindness, "You are also eager to love your son, so let your son heal his wounds first, forcing him to death is not killing him personally, but forcing him to die." Defile other people's wives, according to the law, you will either be exiled to the frontier fortress for 20 years of hard labor, or your legs will be broken! Since the princess of Zhenguo has already done it for you... let's deal with it like this! You are not strict with your children, I will punish you with half a year's salary, and send someone after you go back Go to the bitter master's house, pay the money and settle the matter, and that's the end of the matter."
The emperor thought of the troublesome Bai Qingyan again, closed his eyes and said, "As for Princess Zhen Guo, you don't have to worry! Go..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Mao raised his head and looked at the emperor gratefully, and kowtowed heavily, "I can't share your majesty's worries, but let your majesty take care of my ministers, it's really a crime! Your majesty loves a felony minister, and the criminal minister is It's hard to repay His Majesty even if one's body is smashed to pieces, and this humble minister is determined to repay His Majesty with a piece of grass in this life."
"Okay! Stop talking beautiful words, go!" The emperor leaned on the golden dragon pillow and waved to Li Mao.
Li Mao stood up respectfully, bowed his body and exited the hall. He didn't stand up until he stood outside the hall and saw the bluestone floor under his feet covered with sunlight.
He let out a long breath, although he said that he was fined half a year's salary, as long as the emperor still trusts him, it will be fine.
Li Mao clenched his fists and walked out of the palace. Nothing was important to him, but the trust of the emperor and the trust of the future emperor.
The biggest difference between him and Bai Weiting is that Bai Weiting's character is noble and pure, and he has a great reputation among the common people.
And he... doesn't care what the people think of him, nor does he care about being innocent, but only cares about what the emperor thinks of him.
As long as those letters no longer exist, or are never seen by the emperor, then he has nothing to fear.
After Li Mao left, the emperor called the prince over and asked the prince to speak to Bai Qing. The emperor already knew about Li Mao's son. Since Bai Qingyan had broken Li Mingtang's legs, he also punished Li Mao. With half a year's salary, the matter is settled.
The emperor also asked the crown prince to personally deliver rewards to the Princess of Zhenguo’s mansion. No matter how he kept his secrets from Bai Qing in private, he had to let the people see clearly... the emperor’s appreciation of Princess Zhenguo for protecting the hearts of the people is what .
When the prince got the news, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Bai Qingyan's methods were so thunderous that he directly broke the legs of Zuo Xiang's son without leaving any room.
Qin Shangzhi couldn't understand Bai Qingyan's meaning for a while, and even broke into a cold sweat for Bai Qingyan. After all, Zuo Xiang Li Mao is not an open-minded person who is easy to provoke.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Mao would enter the palace to plead guilty and admit his mistakes, and the people praised the Bai family for their love for the people.
This mess, even Qin Shangzhi's mind is a mess?
Is Zuo Xiang really so vulnerable that he was frightened by Princess Zhen Guo?
Qin Shangzhi squinted his eyes. Could it be that the left minister had something to hold in the hands of Princess Zhen Guo, and was forced to do so by Princess Zhen Guo?
But Qin Shangzhi did not inform the prince of this doubt, because it was related to his benefactor Bai Qingyan, and he could not speak to the prince at will.
·
The sky was dark, and on the long street lined with shops, the restaurants and teahouses had been lit up, but the lanterns swaying in the wind under the blue-tiled cornices had not yet been lit.
The afterglow of the sinking sunset is dazzling, and half of the metropolis is reflected in gold.
With the emperor's praise and rewards, the prince personally went to the gate of Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion.
Even the emperor praised the princess of Zhenguo, who in the capital would dare to say that the princess of Zhenguo is crazy?
But with the effort of a cup of tea, there was only a residual twilight in the western sky, and the prince also stepped out of the gate of Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion.
Dong and his family sent the prince to the door, saluted and bid farewell to the prince.
The prince said with a smile: "Princess, please take a step to speak."
Now that the crown prince regards Bai Qingyan as his own, it is inevitable that he still has to tell Bai Qingyan a thing or two.
Bai Qing said that he was sending the prince to the carriage, and he heard the prince say: "The princess should be more cautious in doing things in the future, and can't always use the trick of hurting people on the battlefield. You can tell Gu about this matter, and Gu will deal with it. Why bother to offend Zuoxiang? Zuoxiang is not an open-minded person!"
Bai Qingyan hurriedly saluted the prince: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your reminder. Your majesty is in poor health. The prince is now handling state affairs for your majesty. He has worked very hard. How can Yan use such a trivial matter to cause trouble for the prince?"
"Although Zuo Xiang is not broad-minded enough, in the end Li Mingtang made a mistake first. He said that he was afraid... If this matter is settled in private, there is a precedent for Zuo Xiang, and the officials in the metropolitan city will follow suit in the future. Once this happens The ethos runs through the entire court, and in the future His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne...wouldn't it be a disaster for His Highness?"
Hearing these words, the crown prince was very upset. It turned out that it was for him that Bai Qingyan attacked Prime Minister Zuo so fiercely.
The prince nodded, and his voice became more gentle: "Even so, but..."
The third update, let me ask again... Is there any little ancestor willing to vote for the monthly ticket? If not... then the bald author has no choice but to ask tomorrow.
