Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Chapter 162: Civil strife in Xidong, the Tang family was destroyed

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning is murderous and has killed fifty-six members of the Chu family. Please take a closer look!"

"Princess Shu Ning has no regard for the king's laws and abuses lynching. Please punish her!"

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty, Princess Shu Ning is looking down upon human life. Not punishing her is not enough to convince the public! Your Majesty!"

"If you don't know what the specific matter is, how can you let Lord Long Live make a decision?"

"What if the Chu family breaks the king's law that punishes the nine clans?"

"Even if you violate the royal law that punishes the nine tribes, it should be decided by Your Majesty. When can Princess Shu Ning use the death penalty?"

"How can you just listen to one family's words?!"

"More than fifty lives are a fact!"

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

The story of Shen Qing killing people in a rage suddenly spread.

Soon the news reached the palace and Emperor Wan Zhen's study.

Emperor Wan Zhen was sitting on the dragon chair. He didn't speak. He glanced at everyone below and allowed them to make a fuss.

There is an overwhelming amount of information about things in the north.

The information about my daughter has not come for a while.

He's not in a hurry.

At present, the most credible one is only Xu Jing's statement.

It writes about Su Fang's death.

Emperor Wan Zhen knew the relationship between his daughter and this girl.

He even remembered that Empress Ji gave the little girl to Shu Ning when his daughter had just learned to walk. The two had grown up together since childhood.

Su Fang is not only a girl, but to Shu Ning, she is a close friend since childhood and the face of the royal family.

The Chu family slapped the royal family in the face, and they slapped Emperor Wan Zhen in the face.

Death is not an exaggeration.

In addition, Emperor Wan Zhen heard about everything going on in the north.

He even wanted to commend Shen Qing, so he remained silent in the face of impeachment from courtiers.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Wan Zhen brought his thoughts back and glanced at Cao Guanping.

Cao Guanping understood this, took a step forward, raised his voice and said: "Retreat from the court——!"

Obviously it means "discuss later".

Even though many officials wanted to say something, they could only shout in unison at this moment: "Long live my emperor!"

After retiring from the court, Emperor Wan Zhen continued to handle official duties in the imperial kitchen.

The first stack contains excerpts about the impeachment of Shen Qing.

In this stack of documents, relying on Emperor Wan Zhen's intuition, there was someone inside who was adding fuel to the fire.

The middle pile is about the north and Mianjia.

Emperor Wan Zhen did not expect that Shen Qing could really unify the north and the south, nor did he expect that she could make cotton armor.

But the cotton armor is now hanging in Emperor Wan Zhen's imperial study, and no one can question it.

"Have you used the cotton armor?" Emperor Wan Zhen asked Shao Chongde.

Shao Chongde bowed: "Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning has made a thousand years of contributions."

Emperor Wan Zhen nodded.

"Have you received the money?" Emperor Wan Zhen asked Tian Shikun.

Tian Shikun bowed: "The Ministry of Revenue received 10 million taels of silver a few days ago."

Emperor Wan Zhen nodded again.

"Liu Changpeng left the south, and the water bandits were completely wiped out." Emperor Wan Zhen said to Lin Mu.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shu Ning narrowly escaped death in exchange for peace." Lin Mu said with a bow.

Emperor Wan Zhen glanced at his ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of Rites, as well as You Jingnan, the Minister of Punishments, and Zhuang Guangxu, the Qing of Dali Temple.

Then he sat up straight and took a sip of tea.

"Shu Ning's personal girl is dead."

Emperor Wan Zhen spoke very plainly, as if he was talking about a very trivial matter.

Several people looked at each other. Everyone here knows Su Fang. Although that girl is a girl, her status is completely different.

I didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret inside.

"Compared to what Shu Ning did, what does the mere fifty lives of Chu Mansion mean?!"

Emperor Wan Zhen smashed the tea cup to the ground with a "bang!"

"What kind of?!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I deserve death for my crime." Everyone knelt down and said in unison.

Emperor Wan Zhen was so angry that his chest kept heaving.

After a long time, he calmed down and said, "But those fifty lives are also my people."

Everyone said nothing and still knelt.

This is a game and balance between imperial power and human rights.

Shen Qing has done extraordinary things, this is an ironclad fact, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But it is also an indisputable fact that Shen Qing massacred more than fifty people in the Chu mansion out of his own anger.

Can her contribution to Xi Guo be worth the more than fifty lives lost?

Emperor Wan Zhen looked at You Jingnan.

Although You Jingnan was kneeling, he still felt Emperor Wan Zhen's gaze.

He was afraid that Emperor Wan Zhen would say, "I'll leave it to you to judge Shu Ning."

This matter is really difficult to judge.

According to the laws of Xi State, Princess Shu Ning must be punished by death.

But Emperor Wan Zhen just said everything that Princess Shu Ning did word by word.

Obviously, in Emperor Wan Zhen's view, Princess Shu Ning only had merit, and it was great merit that benefited the country and the people.

Besides, the Chu family itself is not an innocent family.

In front of the imperial power, what do these fifty lives mean?

However, Emperor Wan Zhen is Emperor Wan Zhen, and he cannot be "willful".

You Jingnan knew very well that this hot potato would always roll into his hands.

His mind was running rapidly at this time, trying to think of a perfect solution.

"Who is throwing dirty water on Shu Ning?" Emperor Wan Zhen's tone gradually became colder. "Find out for me."

You Jingnan sighed inwardly, feeling lucky to have escaped the disaster: "Yes."

And at this moment, an extremely urgent voice suddenly shouted outside the imperial study room: "Report——! Eight hundred miles of urgent military information——!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the imperial study was shocked again.

problem occurs!

Emperor Wan Zhen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face that remained silent.

Why is there a war at this time?

"Xuan."

"Ping ping ping ping pong" there was a sound of soldiers.

A soldier wearing armor ran to the imperial study room after handing over his weapon, and knelt down to Emperor Wan Zhen.

"I see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Pingshen, tell me something quickly." Emperor Wan Zhen said.

"Back to Your Majesty, there was a rebellion within the Xidong Army fifteen days ago. The Tang family was destroyed and the Xidong Army was leaderless. The State of Lan took the opportunity to dispatch an army of 200,000 to attack our Xidong Army. The Xidong Army was defeated and the Lan State captured ten cities in our Xidong City!"

"What?!" Everyone in the imperial study room was shocked.

"This is unreasonable!" Emperor Wan Zhen was furious when he heard this and slammed his palm on the desk.

How could there be civil strife in Xi Dong? !

What does it mean that the Tang family was destroyed?

"Where are the other people from Xi Dong? Where are the people from Sun Yao?! Are they all dead?!" Emperor Wan Zhen shouted.

"I deserve death for my crime." Everyone kowtowed again.

"Cao Guanping, go and call Sun Yao and the others!"

"Yes."

"And you, tell me in detail what is going on with Xi Dong now!"

The moon gradually climbed to the top. There was no starlight that night, and there were dark clouds, but it never rained.

The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, and Emperor Wan Zhen's roar could be heard from time to time.

Xi Dong's incident was like a huge bomb hitting everyone.

The future is murky and unclear. (End of chapter)
