Whether it is the Chu Dynasty, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty, the imperial edicts are sacred.

The four officials looked at each other, and then Wang Youxiao took the lead and asked the prisoners to stand aside, lifted up their official uniforms, and knelt down to receive the order.

"I received the order."

All four of them are smart people, and they can probably guess the content of this imperial edict. Others have no objection to how to deal with this matter.

The law is ruthless, but the human heart is sentient.

There are those kings who treat their subordinates ruthlessly or let their subordinates take the blame. They have very stable rule, but they are not our Han kings.

Wang Youxiao was ready to resist the order.

yes.

The law is ruthless, and people's hearts are affectionate. But matters of principle cannot be changed easily. You have no joke. Since you have ordered these people to be dealt with.

Then it shouldn't be, because Zhang Chen was Liu Zhixing's teacher, so he pardoned Zhang Chen.

This won't work.

Isn’t that a mess? If Li Yong’s relatives or old friends break the law in the future, will they also be pardoned?

After seeing this scene, the prisoners instantly became quiet. Everyone stared at the imperial edict in Zhang Zhen's hand in an orderly manner, and hope appeared in their eyes.

Could it be that King Han wants to forgive us?

Zhang Zhen ignored this and read the decree skillfully: "Substantially, the King of Han ordered......"

The imperial edict is just a lot of nonsense.

There is only a small piece of content in the middle that is valid content.

"I heard that Zhang Chen, a citizen of Guangchuan, made a living by teaching, and enjoyed scholars and virtues in Liaodong. When his son was not careful, his family would be destroyed. I pity him. Zhang Chen was specially pardoned, Zhang Zhong and his son. Zhang Chen's son Zhang Yong was killed. Yong's family was exiled to Goguryeo and sent to military generals as slaves. Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong and his son were punished by death, but he could not escape the death penalty. The house was confiscated and exiled to Seoul."

When Lu Qian, Zhu Jianming and Chen Jiagui heard this, they felt awe-inspiring. Even the prime minister of the dynasty was so great.

There are human feelings outside the law.

But matters of principle cannot be forgiven.

But the king took a turn and separated the main culprit Zhang Yong from the Zhang family. He was sentenced according to the previous decision. Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong were sentenced to death and could not escape the crime of living.

"I am following the order."

The three of them kowtowed and bowed first.

Wang Youxiao thought about it for a moment and did not choose to resist the order. He was slower and bowed and said, "I am following the order."

In this way, the fate of the three Zhang family members was finalized.

Zhang Yong was already lying on the ground, his expression was dull and he was as limp as mud.

Although Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong escaped death, they saved Zhang Zhong's family and avoided being slaves to others. However, they were also sad.

Zhang Chen looked at his youngest son, burst into tears and said, "Yong'er. It's his fault for not teaching you well for his father."

"It's the fault of the father."

People's hearts are full of flesh. Although he beats and scolds him hard, he is still his own son after all.

"Brother Yong." Zhang Zhong also cried.

The people present did not sympathize with them. They had to be responsible for what they did. The Han Dynasty was not the Chu Dynasty, and the administration was corrupt.

After Zhang Zhen handed over the imperial edict to Wang Youxiao, he led the eunuchs, the Grand Inspector and others to go back to the palace.

The news spread quickly.

Almost everyone in Jiangxian’s middle and senior management knows this. They are all watching this.

Wu Nian had a great prestige, and even if he ignored Liu Zhixing, it would not damage his prestige and virtue. After all, the law was ruthless, and Wu Nian was the decisive master of killing and decisive attacks.

But Wu Nian took a chance and forgived Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong and his son.

In name, Zhang Chen himself is a teacher, and his name is circulated in Liaodong.

This is an attitude towards heroes.

In addition to being a talented man, the founding kings recorded in history books were treated well and harmed the old ministers.

Although they are all wise rulers, who would like to be a rude king?

But Wu Nian gave him limited affection, and Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong still searched their homes and exiled them.

All the civil and military officials in the court, including the great and noble officials, have to consider the consequences of the violation. After all, no one is the chief assistant Liu Zhixing, who has such great face.

If anyone dares to break the law and violates the law seriously, he must be fully prepared and accept the price of severe punishment.

No matter what.

This article has attracted worldwide attention in Jiang County, and no matter what Wu Nian does, it seems to be right and wrong. Now it has come to an end and has had a profound impact on the entire government and the country.

In Wenhua Pavilion.

Three people in the cabinet were working, and a minor official broke in from outside. He walked to Liu Zhixing's side and said a few words in his ear.

Li Yong and Zhang Haiping each had a stir in their hearts.

Liu Zhixing finally couldn't hold back anymore, as if he was a deflated ball, and his sleepless fatigue raged in his body.

But he quickly cheered up and felt infinite gratitude for Wu Nian.

Thunder, rain and dew are both kindness.

Even if the three departments tried, the Zhang family and his son were all killed, he had no complaints. What's more, Wu Nian let Zhang Chen go, Zhang Zhong and his son.

After calming down, Liu Zhixing raised his hand and clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Sir, please allow me to leave for a while."

"Please, sir."

Zhang Haiping and Li Yong clasped his fists and said.

Liu Zhixing got off the couch, put on his shoes, surrounded by eunuchs, entered the harem, came to a temple, and saw Wu Nian sitting in the pavilion.

There were two table tables in the pavilion, and the above was filled with wine and food. Inside and outside the pavilion, there were many eunuchs and palace maids serving.

"Zhixing, it's just right. Let's have a drink." Wu Nian looked up at Liu Zhixing and greeted with a smile.

Liu Zhixing looked at this scene and didn't know that Wu Nian was waiting for him. His eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore, he took a deep breath before calming down, bowed and said, "Old minister obeyed the order."

"Don't say that. Although according to the customs of our Han people, you can marry at the age of thirteen and have grandsons at the age of thirty, and call yourself an old man. But Cao Mengde said it well. An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions. You can also have ambitions when you are old, and don't call yourself an old minister casually."

"Besides, I am in my thirties, and I am still not convinced of my old age."

Wu Nian waved his hand, half serious, half joking.

"What the king said is that I have lost my words." Liu Zhixing immediately bent down and bowed.

Then, the chief minister sat down and drank with the king. Liu Zhixing first toasted Wu Nian. Wu Nian raised his glass with great face and drank it all, and then said endlessly: "Miscellaneous, wonderful. This Goguryeo imperial wine is really wonderful. But there is not much left, drink a little less."

Liu Zhixing immediately said: "Although King Goguryeo has perished, the winemaking places are still there, so you can ask the Governor Youyan to pay tribute to the imperial wine."

"Forget it. It's too expensive. Although our Liaodong wine is not as good as the Goguryeo Royal wine, it's a lot of money."

Wu Nian was moved, but he shook his head and said.

"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded.

Neither the king nor the ministers were drunk, so they drank a little drunk. Then they did whatever they should do.

This matter has just passed.

For the Han dynasty monarchs and ministers, the most important thing was to attack Huanglong Mansion in the northern expedition.
