Godsend Field

Chapter 360 Strong
Seeing Ni and Mann leave the Duke's Mansion in a carriage under the escort of Kate's personal guards, Tianci walked back to the Ning Garden holding Jane's arm.There were tears in the corners of Zhen's eyes all the way along the way, and she couldn't help crying when she arrived at Ning Yuan.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I made you sad!" Tianci comforted.

Jane shook her head, "Mom isn't sad for you, you did the right thing, I'm just sad for Mann. I held this child when he was just born, but I didn't expect what happened today. I'm sad for my sister."

Tianci nodded, "If it wasn't because the third prince was the mastermind this time, and Mann was just being used by others, I would never let Mann go. But this is also good, put Mann in the fief and take good care of it, lest What unforgivable thing will he do again!"

Jane held back her tears, "I hope so!"

"elder brother!"

At this time, Nero ran into Ningyuan quickly, and hurried over after seeing Tianci, "Brother, why don't you discuss it with me, this time you have caused a big disaster! Do you know that your actions are all violations?" You are a member of the Imperial Law Code, many people have joined you in the past two days!"

Zhen Anrui and Qin'er Li'er were startled, they were so focused on pleading for Mann just now, they completely forgot about the trouble Tianci had caused.Lead a large number of personal guards into the capital, detain the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the empire without reason, and force him to reset the price.These are great sins!
On the contrary, Tianci smiled easily, "Of course I know! But in this special period, we can't stick to the rules. Since His Majesty is in a coma and cannot make a decision, then I will help His Majesty make decisions."

Everyone was startled at the same time, looking at Tianci in amazement!

In the early morning of the next day, all the officials of the empire came to the Hall of Qinzheng early.The empty hall was full of officials, and there were surprisingly seven governors and marquises sitting on the governor's seat in front.It was the first time these seven had appeared in the Palace of Qinzheng since the New Year.What is strange is that whoever came earlier sat at the front, but today the seven governors sat well, but the seat at the front was empty.

Tianci and Nero walked into the hall side by side.

Nero went straight to the seat of the minister of state affairs, and Tianci smiled and greeted the governors!

"I said Marquis Godsend, the old man admires your courage more and more now! Aren't you afraid of losing your job?" Marquis Dolan said with a wry smile.

The rest of the governors also nodded.

On the contrary, Tianci smiled easily, "This is what I have to do, even if I lose my official position! But then again, do you see that I still have an official position? As for wanting my life, I'm afraid it's a little harder! "

All the marquises laughed together.Tianci is only the lord of Yanhua City in the northwest province, and the governor of the northwest province is still represented by Clark.As for the counselor of the Northwest Army, the post of counselor is not an official position in the first place.Tianci is a counselor appointed by His Majesty himself, and only His Majesty can be exempted. Even if Tianci has committed some serious crimes, the rest of them cannot be appointed or dismissed at all.

Tianci sat in the front seat and waited quietly.

After a while, the regent and assistant regent arrived together, and the morning meeting officially began!

"Regent, Commander Tesker of the Imperial Guard has something important to do!" Commander Tesker was the first to stand up and clapped his hands.

Solving the matter of God's gift is probably the most important thing today!

The eldest prince looked at Tianci below, who sat quietly on the seat, ignoring Tesker at all.The eldest prince raised his hand, "Tesker, what's your matter, just tell me!"

"Regent, the last general is trusted by His Majesty. As the commander of the imperial guards, he is responsible for the security of the palace and the capital. However, the day before yesterday, the Marquis of Godsend blatantly led a thousand personal guards. Enter the city gate. According to the laws of the empire, a marquis can only lead five hundred personal guards into the city, and only a duke can lead one thousand, otherwise it will be punished as conspiracy."

All the officials turned their eyes to Tianci!His Majesty did not hesitate to fight the power at that time for the reform of the nobility, and fought a civil war for ten years.Therefore, as a nobleman, the management of his personal guards is the first to bear the brunt. There is no reason why he cannot leave the fief. Even if he needs to leave, there is a limit on the number of people. No dignitary can violate it!
"In addition, Marquis Tianci led these personal guards to besiege more than 30 presidents of the capital's most important chamber of commerce on the restaurant under the watchful eyes of everyone. It is well received by the people. But yesterday the relatives of the chamber of commerce went to the duke’s mansion to argue, but they were threatened and expelled by the Marquis of Heaven. Even if the criminal breaks the law, it will be apprehended by our Imperial Guard or the Department of Criminal Justice. It is purely setting up a private cage, flouting the king's law, and disturbing the law and order of the capital!"

"Also, the Marquis of Godsend detained the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and used force to force the presidents to adjust prices. Some people would bloody mutilate the other party's body if he refused. This kind of behavior is purely threatening and blackmailing. I hope the regent will follow the punishment of our Welsh Empire Convict the Marquis of Godsend!"

Tianci smiled coldly.

Seeing that Tesker still had a gift from God, the eldest prince couldn't help frowning, "Dear officials and ministers, how do you think it should be dealt with?"

The officials of the Ministry of Government Affairs all bowed their heads and did not speak.The generals of the Ministry of Military Affairs are also silent!On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Finance are indifferent. The Ministry of Military Affairs is the one who sued, and the Ministry of Government Affairs is the defendant. No matter how you calculate it, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Finance!
Seeing that all the officials below bowed their heads and said nothing, the eldest prince couldn't help feeling anxious, "Old Marshal, you have the oldest qualifications here, and Commander Taisk belongs to your military and political department, how do you think this matter should be handled better?" Woolen cloth?"

The old marshal stood up and glanced at Tesker.Tianci only recently rescued his most important grandson, so he can't let Tianci go to jail now!What's more, anyone can see that this is clearly the third prince's use of Tesker's command to give the eldest prince a problem.The current status of the Marquis of Tianci, as well as his achievements in the northwest, can these few crimes be overthrown?

"Back to the regent, the old minister thought that the Marquis of Tianci was indeed against the law of the country. However, the Marquis of Tianci was not a reckless person. We may not know what he did, so let us listen to him! The laws and regulations of the empire have always been They are all in charge of the Department of Criminal Law of the Ministry of Government Affairs, after listening to it, we can let the Ministry of Government Affairs make a conclusion, which is the most appropriate!"

The eldest prince nodded and said yes, this is a good solution. Now that Nero is in charge of the Ministry of Government Affairs, it is better to let Nero solve this problem by himself!

Before the eldest prince asked, Nero stood up consciously, "Reporting to the regent, I and the Marquis of Tianci are relatives, and I am not suitable to participate in it. It is better to let the Criminal Justice Department make a conclusion!"

Now that Nero avoided suspicion, Shang Si, the Criminal Law Department, had no choice but to stand up and "Report to the Regent, the Marquis of Heaven has committed three crimes. Those who despise their powers and punishments shall be deprived of their titles and official positions. The third is to use force to intimidate the chairman and defraud other people's property, and the crime shall be punished!"

There was silence in the hall!
The Ministry of Government Affairs under the control of Nero actually convicted God-sent three major crimes in court!
Commander Tesker was overjoyed immediately, and handed over his hand, "Regent, since the Criminal Law Department Shangsi has already made a verdict, please also ask the Regent to handle it impartially, and punish the Marquis of God according to the law!"

The eldest prince in the main hall was in a dilemma. He never expected that the criminal law department would be so decisive, "Marquis of Heaven, you have heard it all. Do you plead guilty?"

Tianci stood up and saluted, "Reporting to the Regent, everything they said is true, and I have indeed done everything!"

"Regent, you heard it too, he has already pleaded guilty, please ask the regent to deal with it fairly!" Commander Tesker rushed to say.

The eldest prince couldn't make up his mind for a moment and didn't know what to do!
"Commander Tesker, I only said that I did it, but I didn't plead guilty!" Tianci said lightly.

No plea!

"You have confessed your actions, and the Criminal Law Department has also convicted your actions, and now you say that you have not pleaded guilty, you are obviously sophistry!" Commander Tesker pointed to Tianci with one hand, "Regent, you I have also seen that this kind of person is contradictory, and clearly wants to escape!"

Tianci sneered, "Tesker, take your finger back, or I don't mind letting him disappear!"

"you..."

"To the regent, I did do the above-mentioned actions. If it was at any other time, I would have bowed my head and confessed my guilt willingly. But in this special period, I don't think there is any mistake in what I did!" Tianci Walking in front of the old Marshal under the astonished eyes of everyone, "Old Marshal, you have followed His Majesty the longest. I would like to ask, why did His Majesty punish Duke Kakala's crime back then?"

The old marshal was puzzled, and thought for a while, "The Duke of Kakala does not support His Majesty's new regulations on noble reform!"

"I remember that the aristocratic laws of the empire were already very sound at that time. Why did His Majesty make up his mind to punish the Duke of Kakala because the Duke of Kakala did not support the new laws and insisted on the old laws? If according to the express law at that time, Kakala The duke is innocent!"

"Everyone knows this!" The old marshal was even more puzzled. "The original aristocratic regulations are extremely unfavorable to the empire, and have even endangered the rise of the empire, so they must be removed! Anyone who does not accept it is of course guilty!"

"I understand!" Tianci nodded, and turned to look at Commander Tesker, "Commander Tesker, you are responsible for the security of the capital of the empire, and you must have an understanding of people's livelihood and people's conditions. Let me ask you whether the skyrocketing price of goods is beneficial or harmful to the empire?"

"Of course...of course it's disadvantageous!"

"Okay, let me ask you again, if someone manipulates prices maliciously, causing prices to soar in the empire, and public grievances everywhere, will it be beneficial or harmful to the empire? Is his behavior worse than that of the Duke of Kakala back then?"

"This...they also have a reason!!"

"The reason? Just for your own little benefit, can you cause turmoil and dissatisfaction among the people in the empire, can you make the people miserable? Isn't this kind of person a crime? And you, the leader of Tesker, are in charge of the capital's security, but you help the tyrants to do whatever they want. What crime should you do for these people who are doing evil and doing evil?"

"I..."

Tianci ignored Tesker and turned to the eldest prince, "Regent, Assistant Regent, ministers and governors, although I know that it is against the law of the country to lead my personal guards to siege privately. But I have no choice, I don't know other than this method , Is there any way to solve the current oscillation of the empire. If I can sacrifice myself in exchange for the peace of the empire, I plead guilty!"

Tianci flipped his hands and took out the amnesty decree that His Majesty appointed him as the Lord of Yanhua City and the Marquis of the Empire at that time, put his hands on the top of his head, and knelt down on one knee, "I am willing to accept the punishment of the national law and ask to be deposed. As for the personal guard, wait until three months later After the matter is over, I will naturally disband the Guards in accordance with the rules of the empire!"

The eldest prince looked around. Everyone lowered their heads. Marshal Lankers looked at the eldest prince and nodded slightly!

This method is indeed a compromise!
The eldest prince stepped down and took the order of amnesty from Tianci, "Tianci, your behavior is indeed against the laws of the empire, but because you are loyal and have made countless contributions to the empire, I will agree to your request. Let this matter end like this!"

Tianci smiled slightly, stood up and backed away.

"Regent, cutting the rank is only his second crime, and the first crime is a capital crime!" Tesker said anxiously.

"Tesker, you're going too far!" Old Marshal Lankers suddenly yelled, "At the beginning when the orcs invaded the Northwest, Godsend was ordered to lead the Northwest Army to repel the orcs and protect the peace of the empire! Reward, do you still want to kill him? Even if you commit a capital crime, you can still pay off your merits and demerits!"

After being drunk by the old marshal, Tesker's face turned blue immediately, "Old marshal, the regent, even if his merits and demerits are equal, but he is no longer a nobleman, how can he continue to have personal guards? And their personal guards guard the restaurant every day , obstructing the local traffic, greatly affecting the security work of our Imperial Guard!"

Tianci walked in front of Commander Tesker and stared at Tesker, "Are you saying that I don't deserve to have any more personal guards?"

"That's right! You're not a nobleman, you don't have a title, and according to the laws of the empire, you can't have personal guards! So please be sure to remove all the guards from the restaurant before it gets dark today, otherwise don't blame us The imperial guards have carried out their tasks in accordance with the laws of the empire!" Tesker sent all the suffocation he had received from the old marshal to Tianci.

"Hmph! Your imperial guards are so powerful!" Tianci smiled coldly, looked at the officials in the hall, and finally looked at the eldest prince and the third prince.

"Commander Tesker, although I am not a nobleman and have no title, but don't forget, I am still the Northwest Army Counselor personally appointed by His Majesty. I can disband my personal guard immediately, but I can also immediately transfer the Northwest Army back The central province. My 70 Northwest Army soldiers don’t even pay attention to the huge Jianfeng Gorge, so I don’t believe they can’t hold a mere restaurant!”

All the officials were shocked at the same time, and their faces instantly became ugly!Especially the generals of the military department trembled in their hearts. Everyone knew the concept of the Northwest Army, and even the entire military department had to be afraid of it, let alone a small imperial guard!

"You...you...do you want to rebel?" Commander Tesker's voice trembled.

"Treason? Don't forget that the Northwest Army is directly under His Majesty's personal control. It is His Majesty's personal guards. Do you want to limit the number of His Majesty's personal guards entering the city? Commander Tesker, if you are worried about the Northwest Army If you come too many times and you can't maintain law and order, why not let the general of my Northwest Army maintain the law and order of the capital and guard the palace instead of you. I think he will definitely do a better job than you!"

"You...I was personally appointed by His Majesty..." Tesker's face turned pale.

"That's enough, Tesker, shut up!" the eldest prince roared angrily.

Now that the capital is still in his hands, if the Northwest Army really comes, then the entire empire will be in the hands of Godsend alone!

"Regent, I think that although the Marquis of Tiansend's actions violate the code, it is beneficial to the country! Moreover, the Marquis of Tiansend has asked himself to cut off his title. As for the personal guard, I think it can be kept temporarily! The Marquis of Tiansend's move can calm down my northeast travel Save prices and appease the people. If the regent does not agree to keep the god-given personal guards, then I can only send my [-] personal guards to complete the move!" The Governor of the Northeast Province, Marquis Dolan, stood up at the right time and knelt On the main hall, try to protect the gift of God.

"I would like to report to the Regent, the price of goods in our northern province has begun to fall, and the people's sentiment has stabilized. This is all thanks to the actions of the Marquis, so I am willing to send my personal guards to complete this move together!"

"Regent, my southwest province..."

"Regent, my southern province..."

"Regent, I am Yanji Province..."

"Regent, my western province..."

"Regent, my eastern province..."

The governors who were on vacation for several days rushed to stand up one by one at this time, trying their best to protect the gift from heaven.

Anyone with a discerning eye above the hall can tell at a glance that the Marquis of Heaven will not die at all because of his achievements in resisting the orcs. Now that the Northwest Army is brought up, who is not afraid?With the support of the Northwest Army and the support of the major provinces, the Marquis of Heaven can really do whatever he wants within the empire!
Holding two heavenly pardons in his hands, the eldest prince suddenly felt hot!
"Governors, you all get up! In this case, I will allow Tianci to keep the personal guards for half a year, and after half a year, disband your personal guards according to the laws of the empire!"

"Thank you, Regent!" Tianci bowed his hands and saluted, and glanced at Tesker, "Regent, although I am no longer the Lord and Marquis of the City, I am still appointed by His Majesty as a Counselor of the Northwest Army. I hope you will allow me to participate in the morning meeting every day! "

"Participate in the morning meeting?" The eldest prince pondered for a while. "Currently, Clark, the acting governor of the Northwest Province, is busy with the reconstruction and recovery of the Northwest Province and cannot come to the capital. Then Godsend you to participate in the daily morning meeting instead of him!"

"Thank you, Regent!"

The morning meeting ended, and the officials withdrew from the Hall of Qinzheng.Everyone saluted or smiled at Tianci one after another, but they didn't dare to get too close. Only Nero and Tianci walked side by side.

"Brother, didn't you hate morning meetings the most? Why did you ask to participate today!"

Tianci sighed, "I still don't like it now, but I can't help it! Looking around the empire's government, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can restrain the third prince. I didn't take the initiative before, so I let the third prince do it repeatedly! But from today, I want to stay in the government every day, I want to monitor them and restrain them, I will not let them make any small moves, hurt the empire and the people!"
