Qingluo Jinghe

—Li Guo·Jingzhao—

"Your Majesty, I am willing to replace you with my body." After the early court, Yancuo stayed in Taiji Palace as expected by the emperor, and interceded with the emperor for his brother who was a compatriot from the same mother.

Both Suhu and the Central Plains had a bumper harvest, and Yan Mo's dereliction of duty did not bring any irreversible consequences to Da Li, so he was just brought back to Jingzhao for disposal, and was first locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice pending trial.

The emperor Li Jing asked knowingly, but made it clear that he didn't want to respond to Yancuo's request: "Why does Yan Qing want to replace her body?"

It's just that without giving the latter a chance to speak, Li Jing looked suddenly enlightened again: "Is Yan Qing going to plead for Yan Mo?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare." The emperor said in the early court that if anyone dares to plead for the guilty minister, he will be sorry to the people of the world, and they will both go to prison, and the crime will be aggravated. Naturally, Yancuo dare not admit himself It's here to plead.

"Oh?" Li Jing knew that this group of Zi Wenchen could speak better than the other, but it was just a matter of principle, and the four personal affairs could not be tolerated, not to mention that Chong'er's suspicion that day was not unreasonable, the world would not allow him to try wrong!
Therefore, the emperor only regarded it as watching a play, looking at Yancuo with great interest, wondering what the latter could say.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court attaches great importance to filial piety. Suddenly, I am the younger brother of the minister. If something like this happens, the minister will be ashamed to see his ancestors." Yan Cuo started from the perspective of filial piety, and it was really hard for Li Jing to rebut. He continued to listen.

"Although in ancient times it was always the son who committed the crime on behalf of the father, and the brother who committed the crime on behalf of the brother, but my brother has been weak since he was a child, and I am afraid that he will not be able to recover from the illness before the trial comes out, so I still hope that I can take it on my brother's behalf... ..."

As Yan Cuo said, he knelt down and bowed his head, grabbing the ground with his head, which pushed the emperor to the high platform of ethics and morality for a while, and Li Jing couldn't think of a refusal.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and the law of the country is the law of the country after all, how can we allow others to talk about it?
"I have already understood Yan Qing's thoughts, but the law is unreasonable. If everyone replaces others with their own faults, wouldn't it mean that those who have done wrong will never pay the price? This big Li will also be born chaos."

Li Jing didn't save Yan Cuo any face.It was Yan Mo who did the wrong thing. If he had the heart to repent, he should have reported to the court long ago, instead of lying to the court again and again, which almost led to a big mistake in the end.

"Your Majesty..." Yan Cuo's forehead was already bruising, but the emperor obviously had no intention of changing his words.

"Yan Qing doesn't need to ask any more. This matter is no small matter. I have already made a decision." Li Jing raised her eyes, understood the meaning from left and right, and went directly to Yan Cuo, and raised her with nice words. Please leave the Tai Chi Hall.

Just as Yancuo was invited out, Empress Ye Jiafu entered the Tai Chi Hall through the back door: "He left?"

"Hmm..." Li Jing had a headache, and suddenly understood why her son hated these civil servants, "It's always that way to elevate me, thinking that it can make me let go."

The empress heard the whole story from behind the screen, and naturally understood what Emperor Li Jing was thinking, and now she could only persuade her: "With the laws of the country in place, even if they really remonstrate to death, they are nothing but nonsense."

"Having said that, you said that the matter of the brothers of the Yan family is really difficult..." Li Jing had a younger brother who was a direct relative, so she asked herself, if she was in the status of Yan's family, she must have the following The mind that waits for it.

"Whoever's fault is of course someone else's responsibility. Don't bring your own way into it." The queen knew what her husband was thinking, and didn't let Li Jing think about it.

Li Jing didn't argue with her, so the queen teased and said: "The older you are now, the more transparent you were when you were young... Pass your position to the children as soon as possible, and let me find a place to live in."

—Xiron King’s Capital—

"It was because of your mother that I spared you last time. Now that the Northern Secluded Kingdom has failed to fight Dali, I have come to Xirong again..." The king of Xirong really inherited the old Xirong as Meng Jing said. There is no need to carefully investigate Wang's temper before he is convicted.

"How do you explain to me the pigeons in your yard?"

King Xirong looked at Mingcheng who was kneeling next to his head, his eyes were rarely cruel, and he was even more disappointed: "Didn't you have a long memory in the dungeon before?"

"Do you want to send you in again for your father? Let you have a long memory?"

Mingcheng didn't say a word. If it was seen by others, it would be regarded as obedience to his parents' wishes, but what bothered King Xirong the most was Mingcheng's appearance, "You are admitting that you have secretly communicated with Beixu ?”

"Father, there are no sons or servants." The man who hadn't opened his mouth for a long time finally opened his mouth. King Xirong still only glanced at his eyebrows, and there was a bit of probing meaning in his eyes.

Picking up the scabbard beside him, King Xirong raised Mingcheng's chin, forcing the latter to raise his head and look at him: "Oh? Really? Is Chenger not?"

"Why don't you believe it as a father? It's fine if it's just once, several times... Don't you think it's chilling your mother's heart?"

The scabbard slapped his face in burning pain. King Xirong exerted great force, which made Mingcheng's left face red and swollen with a scar as wide as the scabbard.

The teeth broke the mouth, and blood flowed out from the corner of Mingcheng's mouth.Seeing this scarlet red, King Xirong seemed to be stabbed in the heart, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he turned around with a frown.

"As a father, even if he is not dead, if you want the throne, it is not impossible for the king to give it to you."

"As a father, you are only a legitimate son. In the future, Xirong will be all yours. Why can't you wait until this time, and go to unite with foreign countries to harm your own people!"

"Long memory, go back to the palace and stay by yourself, you don't have to come out for half a month..." King Xirong also realized that his hands were heavy just now, and he was afraid that he would do something irreversible in his anger, so he hurriedly bombarded his son Go, out of sight, out of mind.

"Go and ask Mingzhi to come over, the king has something to say to him."

In fact, Mingcheng was not wronged, and how could King Xirong not believe in Meng Jing's son?It doesn't matter if the Northern Remote Kingdom attacks Dali or Xirong, it will not do Mingcheng any good.

It's just that the King of Xirong has taught him so carefully for so many years, and in the end he can be framed by anyone casually. The King of Xirong has the heart to beat this vigorous son to death...

"Father, my son is here, but what's the matter?"

King Xirong glanced at Mingzhi who just came in, and he had a plan in his mind - it would be good if Mingcheng could have a long memory by using Mingzhi... But this knowing is not a good way to save fuel!

"Oh, sit."

Knowing that he was flattered for a while, but he had never been treated like this before King Xirong.But what kind of virtue is King Xirong, I know very clearly in my heart, I'm afraid it's not a sign of taking advantage of it now.

"Thank you, Father."

"The king asked you to come because there is something for you to do." King Xirong looked at the timid and timid look in front of him, and sneered in his heart, Mingcheng really thought of this brother, and kept it hidden everywhere. , really stupid!
"Yes, father." Mingzhi asked and stood up, "I don't know what father asked my son to do?"
