Chapter 28 w.a.n.gye was arrested.
Cuiyun nodded: “Niangniang, you have to think of a way! w.a.n.gye was taken away, what do we do?”
Xi Ruoxuan stayed for a while like this, what to do, where will I know what to do? Don"t tell me you want me to go beg the Emperor? Even if I have the courage to ask, is that useful? w.a.n.gye is the Emperor"s"s own son. Even he was not given face. If I go it has ad Mich usefulness as fart. However, if I don"t care, it doesn"t make sense. The owner of the fu has gone in, the person in the w.a.n.gfu is still the same as if nothing happened. It"s too impersonal, at least I have to wail.
“Wa! My d.a.m.ned w.a.n.gye, you. Why is your life so bitter! I had wanted to spend a lifetime with you, who knew that you will abandon me halfway, oh, wu…” Xi Ruoxuan put all her effort into it, slapping the edge of the bed, her voice quite loud, only no tears could be seen.
Cuiyun was stunned silly: “Niangniang, don"t be like this, w.a.n.gye is only in prison, he still hasn"t died yet!”
Xi Ruoxuan cried, then stopped: “Oh! So he will come out?”
“Of course, w.a.n.gye is the Emperor"s own son. He will not kill w.a.n.gye because of this.” Cuiyun a.n.a.lyzed in her head and answered.
Xi Ruoxuan also calmed, then what was she still so anxious about? She should eat and drink, she had so much to care about. “Then you go prepare breakfast, you have to make it sumptuous o!”
Cuiyun secretly sighed, for w.a.n.gye to encounter such a stupid w.a.n.gfei was really bad luck, he was arrested, but she"s still thinking to eat, even, and even more sumptuous! Bah! If I were w.a.n.gye I would already be angered to death by her.
Zhong Yehan was sitting on the throne in the Golden Treasure Bell Palace, watching the civil and military officials, his face very gloomy: “A while ago, I asked Ximen Dehao to check the corruption and disaster relief. The results of the investigation left me very shocked and very sad. This time there were five or six officials involved, and they were all senior officials. Even the son of Zhen was involved. Zhen is appalled, his heart in pain! A country, if it is raised, with these locusts, the country will be hollowed out sooner or later. Therefore, this time, Zhen made up my mind, and I must convict according to the law of Great Dayou. No matter who it is, Zhen will not condone it. Whatever punishments or sentence, Zhen will met out.”
The officials dropped their heads one by one and listened to the reprimands of the Holy One. At this point, everyone"s ideas were all surprisingly the same, that was, to say less about it, because they were all clear whether it was a curse or a blessing, they all knew.
If they flattered the Emperor indignantly, and said that he should severely punish the embezzlers, in this situation, the officials involved in the case were all very popular figures, and even the Prince. If they turned around and heard about their input in court, then was that not looking for death? But if they pleaded for them, looking at the Emperor"s posture, it wasn"t reliable, the Emperor was doing a report of honesty, but they were looking for corruption, this, was it not looking for disguised smoke ah!
Zhong Yehan saw that everyone did not speak, and was silent for a while: “How about this way, you can all discuss it, to find out who is more appropriate to try the case”
Everyone looked at this one, then the other backed, then bowed their heads towards the ground. Judge the Prince! Who dared this ah! We still want to keep this our old lifes!
Zhong Yehan saw that everyone still silent, and knowing what everyone was worried about: “This, Zhen knows that you are afraid, afraid to get angry with the upper body. You speak here today. The prisoners in the prison are all prisoners, no sons present. You can judge whatever way you want. The law of Dayou is here, what are you afraid of?”
The crowd was still silent and were not fooled by the Emperor"s hoax. We have seen a lot of the. If they spoke righteously here today, who knows whether today will be remembered in old accounts in the future? Our voice must not even be recorded here, even forget about being recorded, even if the Emperor wanted to make something up against them, it was not like just eating a meal ah!
Zhong Yehan sighed a few times: “Since you all don"t want to share Zhen"s worries, then Zhen will have to trouble Zhen"s son. Zhong Langyao, you are the Crown Prince, the future emperor, they are afraid of offending people, you don"t need to be afraid, go on, you go on to judge the case.”
Zhong Langyao did not expect his father to pose this task to him. Not knowing what to do he first thanked the Emperor.
“Fu Huang, Er Chen will try to be impartial to live up to Father"s expectations.”
Zhong Yehan nodded satisfied: “Good! The Crown Prince is brave enough to take responsibility, good! Is Liu Duanzhen of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Department here?”
Liu Duanzhen stepped forward: “This subject Liu Duanzhen greets the Holy One.”
Zhong Yehan pointed to the Crown Prince: “This case is presided over by the Prince. You should a.s.sist him, remember to be impartial, if you dare to blur the lines of the law, Zhen will not have pity on you.”
“This subject obeys!”
Zhong Yehan looked at the officials: “Today, let us end here!”
The courtiers finished the morning and the officials slowly withdrew from the Golden Treasure Bell Palace. The Crown Prince walked out of the hall with uneasiness, and his younger brother and best friend, Zhong Langxi, hurried over to him: “Congratulations to the Crown Prince, Fu Huang has given you a heavy responsibility.”
Zhong Langyao had no color of joy on his face: “This is a hot ch.o.r.e!”
Zhong Langxi whispered, “Then, what does the Crown Prince intend to do?”
Zhong Langyao looked at the officials, and deliberately shouted: “Of course it will be done with impartiality, just now father said it must be dealt with impartiality, I dare not resist the will!”
This sentence of course was for the officials to listen to. Then he whispered, “Let"s go to my house, let"s go back and talk.”
Zhong Langxi certainly knew, there were too many people around, naturally it would not be the place to talk .
The two each took their sedan chairs to the Crown Prince"s House, the servants had already put down the dishes. Every time Zhong Langyao came back from morning court, the first big thing they did was to put down the wine. If it was delayed, he would get very angry and the consequences would be very serious.
Zhong Langyao sat firmly in his a seat specially made for him, and drank the drink first: “Oh my G.o.d. I didn"t expect father to give me such an important task. Do you think my weight in father"s heart has increased again?”
Zhong Langxi quickly flattered: “That"s natural, otherwise how would father choose you as the Crown Prince, not that I am praising you, among the four of us brothers, it is Crown Prince brother who is most outstanding, we the rest can only eat and drink.”
Zhong Langyao smiled at Zhong Langxi: “Look at your mouth, sweet like an eunuch"s. I can tell you that third brother is not a fuel-saving lamp, and if he gets the power, there is nothing we can do about it.”
Zhong Langxi hummed and said, “Just him, I see no way, Crown Prince, you can rest a.s.sured! With your buddy protecting you, third brother cannot push the wind and the waves.”
Zhong Langyao shook his head: “Having said that, we cannot be careless. We must not let anything fall into his hands. You and Zheng Shufei should be careful a little, if something happens, not to mention, even I, this Crown Prince can"t help you.”
Zhong Langxi smiled: “I know, Crown Prince brother knows the relationship. Recently I haven"t been to the harem, in order to avoid her. You say father"s body is still strong. Until how long do I have to wait?”
Zhong Langyao glanced at him: “You pay attention to the point, for this woman, you actually cursed father, you have no conscience!”
Zhong Langxi bent his head: “I am wrong, no, oh right, I just asked you what you are you planning to do?”
