The emperor quietly finished reading the letter paper and put it on the desk. He wanted to stand up, but he didn't stand up at once. Fu'an quickly helped him stand up.

Degong sat down and waited. It was a letter written by Yu Cheng'an to the commander of the Ningjiang Prefecture Xiangjun. He was naturally happy. It turned out that King Pingnan had left so many back-ups, which made him worry in vain and was worried all day long.

"I never expected that the last thing that caused the country was the political affairs of the current dynasty..."

Degong lowered his head slightly, and the emperor said something difficult to adapt.

Because when Emperor Taizong was in order to prevent Pingzhang from becoming the only one in power, he set up three departments to separate Pingzhang from serving the financial power. However, when he arrived in this dynasty, the emperor was still worried that Pingzhang from serving the only one in power. In addition, in order to weaken Pingzhang's affairs, he held the power in his hands. The emperor also set up the Chief Political Affairs Office as the deputy secretary of the Political Affairs Hall, which further weakened Pingzhang's power.

To put it bluntly, the position of Assistant General was established by the Emperor when he was young. As a result, now the Assistant General General Yu Chengan actually colluded with outsiders and harmed the country. The Emperor naturally couldn't bear the face...

"Your Majesty, this crime is whether someone is in office or not. If someone else is changed, it might not be like this..." Degong just said it nicely.

The emperor did not speak, paced slowly, and then said, "You don't need to comfort me. Since this position was set by me, I know it. Especially after experiencing this matter, I have no important position in political affairs and hold a high position. After a long time, it is naturally empty but not real. It is inevitable that I only know that it is inevitable to focus on intrigue and not to do practical things."

As he said that, he sighed, "But I really didn't think that he would dare to do this! If it weren't for Bao Zheng, Xue Fang, Tang Zhouwei, and you, I would be in the dark. By the way, there is also the commander of the Xiang Army in Jiangzhou, then what......."

"San Lin and his nephew Shen Yin Feng." Duke De reminded.

"Well, right, these two people are concerned about their family and country, and they will destroy their relatives for justice. I feel very relieved and reward them well." The emperor continued: "As for... Chen Yu, this old man is strange. When Sin Chew almost beat him to death, he stood up to protect Sin Chew. If it weren't for him, he would have made a mistake."

"Emperor, Lord Chen has always been clear about public and private affairs. I guess he values ​​the prince's intelligence and talent, so he loves and protects him." said Degong.

The emperor didn't say anything, but he had a slight smile on his face. He obviously liked his words very much.

"How are you going to deal with this?" asked the emperor.

De Gong bowed and replied: "The emperor, after discussing with the ministers of the Censorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice, overnight, he believed that the Ministry of War sentenced Zhang Rang to frame the emperor's grandson, ordered officials of the court, and treason, and the evidence was conclusive, so he should confiscate the property, demote to common people, and impose the mates on the wilderness of the prefecture.

Wei Guoan, the clan of the Secretariat, framed the emperor's grandson, appointed officials in the court, and treason, and the evidence was also conclusive. In addition, he also damaged the clear orders of the government affairs and ancestors, and also had the crime of deceiving the emperor and ignoring the emperor. He should confiscate the property and demote it to a commoner... and beheaded in the autumn."

The emperor pondered: "According to the ancestral system of our Jingguo, we should not kill scholars and officials. Wei Guoan was the talented person who was selected for the imperial examination..."

"Your Majesty, things must be adapted. Such a serious crime is still light. Once such a limelight is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable..." De Gongdao also understood the ancestral system of Jingguo, and did not kill literary officials. However, when foreign enemies are surrounded by him, he had a premonition that if the laws and regulations are not strictly enforced, it would lead to a disaster.

The emperor finally nodded, "Just as you said."

"As for Yu Cheng'an, he framed the memorials of King Pingnan, and wrote letters. Wei Guo'an and Zhang Rang also accused him in the Censorate Prison and wrote a letter of guilt. He was very guilty. He was old and had been sharing the worries of the country for many years. He should confiscate his property and demote it to a commoner. He was tattooed outside the pass and his son-in-law participated in the victory, and he was also defeated. This would be considered as giving him some care."

After hearing this, the emperor just nodded slowly: "Yes, this is a good deal, but it's better to be a mate to the state if he participates in the victory. Yu Chengan dares to do such a thing, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Degong nodded, his heart was chilling and he didn't dare to speak. He knew that the emperor's words meant to make Yu Chengan die!

The old man with snow-white hair and difficulty moving was sent to the bitter and cold land of Guanbei thousands of miles away without anyone taking care of him, but the emperor did not say it directly.

"Let the Ministry of Justice draw a book as soon as possible to inform the people of the world to calm the hearts of the people. Recently, it must be a mess outside, and panic is not a good thing. There are also people in Jiangzhou who have drafted an edict in the name of the Secretariat, so that Sin-Chou can check it with confidence and let the Ministry of Justice receive the file." The emperor said without expression.

"I understand." Duke De bowed, hesitated for a while and then said: "As for the prince... the emperor, all kinds of evidence and confessions of this matter show that the prince is involved in the relationship, whether it is colluding with the Jin people, framed the King of Pingnan, or deceived the emperor... However, the ministers and the three officials dare not make a decision. The prince is also asked to be taken."

The emperor fell silent, pinched his forehead with his thumb and index finger, and then said quietly: "The blame is on the Secretary of the Prince's Mansion. As for the Prince, I will punish him."

"Yes..." Degong nodded.

......

Afterwards, Duke De told the emperor many details about this matter, and naturally the prince was indispensable. He raised his eyes slightly from time to time and observed the emperor's expression, but he did not dare to go too far. The prince was the prince after all. How the emperor punished it was all internal affairs of the royal family, and the emperor wanted to separate from the court affairs.

Before he knew it, a few hours passed, waiting for the sun to shine and disperse the gray clouds. Duke De was relaxed and left the hall, waiting outside the gate for the Censorate, Dali Temple, and colleagues from the Ministry of Justice were waiting.

Seeing him coming out, he surrounded him and asked. De Gong simply said: "Don't worry, the emperor is very satisfied with your decision. He can only participate in the victory and ask for the issuance of the state rather than outside the pass. He also told the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate to cooperate with the King of Pingnan to take over all case files in Beijing. The review must not be delayed and delayed."

"Please rest assured, the king is safe. I will definitely cooperate with the King of Pingnan." The Ministry of Justice immediately said that the local plan must be submitted to the Ministry of Justice. If officials are involved, the Censorate needs to cooperate.

Then everyone chatted and praised again.

"Thank you for your hard work in Wang Xiang..."

"The King of Wang is fair and clean, and is really a role model for us..."

"If I leave it to me at this time, it will take me a long time to clear my mind!"

“……”

Duke De had been used to it for a long time, but he didn't say much. After everyone left the Meridian Gate, the officials of the three departments dispersed.

Seeing that everyone was reluctant to leave and Duke De stroked his white beard, he knew that the matter was settled.

The emperor let Xue Fang, the commander of the infantry commander of the Guards, first of all, there was no direct evidence, and secondly, no matter what the negotiation result was, Jing Kingdom would attack Liao Kingdom next year and next year. It was when the general was used. There were not many people who could lead troops to fight.

I couldn't help but sigh. Seeing that the emperor valued King Pingnan so much, it would have been great if I had lasted for a few more years.

Because King Xiao had no prince for several years after his death, the ministers were anxious, so they urged the emperor to become the crown prince. He wrote a letter together, and even he was among them. But who would have thought that Li Xingzhou, who would have turned back in a few years...

But once the crown prince is free, it is not so easy to change.

De Gong also regretted it. Why did he urge the emperor to become a crown prince at the beginning? It was such a sin...
