Chapter 189 Punishment 3

After a busy night, I really wanted to find a place to have a good sleep. So far, I haven't slept for two consecutive days and two nights. My eyelids were fighting up and down. I guess if I stood for a while, I could fall asleep. Even if I just gave me a floor, I would lie down without hesitation as long as I had time.

But I really don’t have time. The next morning, just as I planned to have a good sleep, Yang Kaiwu came over and said that it was his father, the prime minister, who asked me to go to court. It was still urgent and I had to go.

There is no way, the Prime Minister said that even if I crawl, I have to crawl over.

It didn't take long to get from the inn to the palace, so I took the time to take a nap in the car, but before I could deeply experience the joy of sleep, the palace arrived. I really hated why I didn't find an inn far away from the palace at the beginning, so I could at least have a rest.

After getting off the carriage, my mind still didn't react. I walked in a daze according to the path I had walked before. As for the officials I met on the road, I was too lazy to pay attention to them because I really didn't have the energy to pay attention to them.

Fortunately, I was lucky today. As soon as the bell of the Lord Highness’s court rang, I quickly shook my head to make my mind a little clearer, and then followed the ministers up the high steps and came to the hall. After the emperor came, he bowed three times and kowtowed three times and nine times, stood in his position.

Of course I know why Yang Linguang wanted me to go to court today. Yesterday's incident soon caused a sensation in the capital. In a few days, everyone in the capital probably knew about it. I killed Cao Feifan angrily on the spot, although I felt that I did nothing wrong. But the state has national laws and family rules. If these ministers do not have one of them today, that would be a strange thing. If you watch too many of these things in TV series, just participate in it. At worst, I can "retire and return home".

I also have a problem, that is, I don’t like to be pointed out by others. I’m too embarrassed to be honest, so I might as well confess my mistakes and strive for leniency. The famous saying “Frankness, lenientness, resistance and strictness” was known when I was in elementary school. Moreover, I saw at least three ministers looking at me with a look of something wrong, and a look of eagerness to try.

So after Eunuch Qi said that according to common sense, I took Liezi without hesitation and said, "I have something to do to report."

"speak!"

"Report to the emperor, I ask the emperor to let me take off my armor and return to my country and retire and return home!"

Remove your armor and return to the field!!!

Retirement and return home!!!

The whole hall suddenly became silent, and even the Grand Master was stunned by my words and looked at me with confusion on his face. His eyes were full of confusion.

King Jing on the dragon throne was also staying for a while before asking again: "You...what did you say? Say it again. Say it louder!"

"I requested the emperor to let the minister take off his armor and return to his country and return home!" I repeated again, and my voice also a little heavier.

This time everyone heard my words clearly and what I meant clearly. They began to talk a lot.

Master Han immediately understood what I meant. His face calmed down, and he actually smiled, and he felt a little moved: This trick is really good to use land to advance and retreat! Now everyone focused their attention on resigning, and they would really mention less about the matter last night. Even if someone raised it, the blame would probably be reduced a lot.

Yang Linguang turned his head and secretly looked at Tai Shi Han who was smiling slightly. He also smiled secretly in his heart. He was a little worried, but now the big stone in his heart has finally landed on the ground. As for the things that he has taken off his armor and returned to the field, and retired and returned home, he really... can really think of it!

However, the eyes and expressions of some ministers were very strange. This man has only been a official for three days today. Although he has been named a general, he has never brought his troops and has not even worn his armor. Where can he come from to remove his armor and return to the land? As for the retirement and returning home, these ministers are a little angry. This man is the youngest third-rank official in the court now. If he retires and returns to his hometown, almost all the ministers in the court should go back to farm!

As for why I used to take off my armor and return to the country. The main reason is that it is said on TV, and it is a more tactful speech. I can’t say carelessly: “Master, I’m not going to do it anymore, please let me go!”

King Jing finally heard it clearly again, and the confusion on his face turned into anger, but he still stabilized and said in a deep voice: "You want to thank Jia and return to the field and return home? You always have a reason, tell me what you are!"

I was about to speak, but I didn't expect him to add: "If there is no good reason, I will definitely want you to look good!"

Some ministers below started to whisper, and some were waiting to watch the fun.

I couldn't help but feel a chill on my body, and the cold sweat on my back couldn't help but flow. It was said that being with the king is like a tiger. What's the point. Moreover, this emperor is a big man after all, why did he change his face faster than a woman?

But when things come to this point, I can't take back my words. I can only bite the bullet and turn my head, and say, "Your Majesty, as an official in the court, is talking about literary affairs that can stabilize the country and martial arts. Under the leadership of the emperor, I will do my best to serve the Great Zhou and seek blessings for the people. I should devote myself to the work. This is the duty of the ministers!"

"Not bad!" King Jing nodded, "Soon!"

"The so-called "Don't do to others if you don't want others to do to others! As a minister, in addition to doing your own job well, you must also be strict with yourself. You must think twice before doing things and be fair and honest. You must also be strict with your servants. You must not let them borrow their names, cheat everywhere, and harm the countryside. If you don't do it, the mistake lies in the servants, and the responsibility lies in yourself. This is exactly the reason why the minister wants to leave, because the minister feels ashamed of the emperor and the people, and he is really shameless to face Longyan on this hall. That will only make me feel even more guilty! Therefore, please ask the emperor to be kind, let me return home, and be an ordinary citizen!"

I said this very sincerely, but the ministers in the hall had different reactions.

Taishi Han, Yang Linguang and others already understood what I mean, so the reaction on their faces was very dull.

The Censor and others were shocked, as if they were miscalculated. They didn't have the courage to leave the line several times. They could only stare at me fiercely and mutter in their mouths: Little fox!

"Oh!" The King of Landscape on the Dragon Chair suddenly realized, and his unhappiness disappeared, and said, "You mean you killed Cao Feifan on the spot yesterday. Last night, the Prime Minister had already told me everything. I was like you after hearing this. Not to mention you, even if I was present, I would kill this guy without hesitation! In my capital, I did such a bad thing, and my death was more than worthy of death. So this is not your fault! I forgive you for not being guilty!"

"But the emperor!" I argued: "This Cao Feifan is a member of my Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce. I did this because my Chamber of Commerce was not supervised effectively, and I, Deng Long, had no choice but to discipline and did not distinguish right from wrong! If I noticed it as soon as possible, these workers would not have been tortured so miserably. When I saw them, I felt full of shame. As I said just now, this is wrong with Cao Feifan, but the blame lies in me, and I am ashamed of them."

"Yesterday, the emperor asked the ministers to preside over the establishment of the new law and the new department, which was to use the law to determine the world and govern the world. This law not only included how to guarantee the rights of workers, but also how to punish the culprit! The matter of the kiln factory is said to be the culprit. If the ministers do not abide by this law, what face should they ask the people of the world to abide by this law? The so-called prince breaks the law and is the same as the common people! In ancient times, the Buddha cuts his flesh and feeds the eagle. Today, I am willing to accept the law with my body to correct the world!"

After saying that, I patted my official uniform, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, "Please punish me!"

King Jing on the dragon throne was very moved when I heard my words. Now I was really hesitant. Whether to punish or not is a big question.

He really couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he turned his head and asked Master Han, "What does Master mean?"

Master Han sighed in his heart: I thought the matter was very simple, but I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. But seeing that the emperor obviously doesn’t want to punish this person, forget it, just treat it as a favor.

So he took the lead and said, "I think Deng Long's words are reasonable. The so-called prince breaks the law and is the same as the common people! Deng Long is deeply grateful to the emperor and is ordered to compile and implement the new law, but his subordinates violate this law. Although the head of the crime has been punished, Deng Long cannot escape. At the same time, he ordered officials in the court. If the punishment is not given, the people below will be dissatisfied and will be unfavorable to the implementation of the new law. Therefore, punishment must be imposed to correct the national law!"

"But now it is the court's plan to employ people, and Deng Long is indispensable to implementing the new law. Therefore, according to my husband's wishes, it is better to be punished for one year and ask him to properly arrange the workers. Be responsible for the workers' lives for the rest of their lives. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Jing was overjoyed and said, "Yes, this is a good idea!" Then he turned his head and asked Yang Linguang, "What does the Prime Minister mean?"

Yang Linguang hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection!"

Seeing that Yang Linguang had no objection, King Jing was also very happy, but still asked again: "What are the other in-laws' objections?"

"I have no objection!"

Although Zeng Daorong and others were so angry that they gritted their teeth and thought they could apply for a book, the initiative was in their hands. Unexpectedly, things would be over if they could not even say a word. As for the punishment for one year, it was like there was no punishment.
