Entering the palace today, Han Jiangxue knew that it must be related to Han Lei, but Li Qing brought her father up first, which made her focus even more.

"Many ministers have written to you because of Han Lei's incident. Your father has indulged his clan members and done evil. As the head of the family, he has neglected supervision, which has damaged the reputation of a century-old family. Some even questioned your father's ability to serve as the head of the family.

I demand that your father be severely punished, so that you can punish the various unhealthy practices in the powerful families in the capital."

Li Qing's words were concise. Although he didn't say much, the meaning was clearly there. Someone used Han Lei's incident to impeach Han Feng!

"Really? I wonder if none of these impeached humans have ever committed crimes by non-tribes?" Han Jiangxue said calmly: "I wonder if these people can be just like my father and severely punish the relevant clansmen after they commit crimes.

What about warning all relatives? What if

If they all do better than my father, then I have nothing to say. The Han family will accept any kind of punishment calmly. But if no one does better than my father, then I don’t know what people will be impeached.

Are you qualified to speak nonsense without knowing the truth?"

Hearing Han Jiangxue's words, Li Qing smiled and said: "You are right. There will inevitably be some villains in every family among princes, powerful people, noble families and hundreds of officials. In comparison, your Han family

It’s been quite good in this regard over the years.”

"Moreover, after Tan Lei committed the crime, your father had no intention of shielding him. He punished the clan members fairly and severely, and his actions afterwards were in line with the demeanor of a wise family leader. Because of this, I have never done anything.

I don't care about those memorials. I don't think this matter will have too much adverse impact on your Han family. It's just..."

Having said this, Li Qing paused slightly, looked at Han Jiangxue with a slightly helpless expression and said, "It's just that in addition to Miss Jiang's matter, Tan Lei was also involved in another important case.

The identity of the personnel is somewhat special, so I have kept this matter under wraps and not made it public. I called you here today because I wanted to discuss it with you first to see how we should handle it."

"Oh, what kind of important case would attract the Emperor's personal intervention?" Han Jiangxue pretended to be ignorant and said: "Actually, the Emperor doesn't have to discuss anything with the daughter of the people. No matter what other cases Tan Lei has committed, the attitude of our Han family is the same.

It’s the same, just deal with it how you should deal with it, there will never be any bias.”

Li Qing was not surprised by Han Jiangxue's attitude. He just said unhurriedly: "Two months ago, an extremely disgraceful thing happened in the palace. Princess Jinyun went to the royal temple to offer incense.

Something happened on the way back. Jin Yun was drugged.

I was insulted. After this incident, the case for Jin Yun's reputation has been investigated privately. However, the perpetrator has never been found. The results were finally traced a few days ago, but the main culprit was found.

It’s none other than Han Lei, who raped and defiled Miss Jiang’s family.”

"Although Han Lei has been hanged for Miss Jiang's case, insulting the royal princess is a serious crime. Tan Lei alone cannot be punished. According to Dongming law, Tan Lei's entire family must be imprisoned, and the entire

Except for your direct branch, all the Han family members will have to suffer the pain of exile and be sent to a distance of three thousand miles."

Li Qing's voice was very calm. There was no emotional ups and downs at all, as if what he was talking about was not a big deal. At most, it seemed that the taste of the tea was a little stronger and a little lighter.

But the tone of voice will not affect the incident itself. Tan Xiao's additional crimes were indeed as revealed by Mr. Liu, affecting all branches of the Han family.

After listening to Li Qing's series of "introductions", Han Jiangxue was silent at first and did not say anything in a hurry, but she did not hide the disapproval between her eyebrows.

"Han Lei is indeed nothing, but the daughter of the people thought that he would never have the guts to insult Princess Jinyun!" Han Jiangxue said with unusual certainty: "I'm afraid there is a case in this case. For such a big thing, at least

Just convince everyone!"

"Jin Yun did not wear formal clothes when he left the palace that day, just casual clothes, and he did not bring too many people to show off, but he never thought that he would suffer because of it." Li Qing was not annoyed and slowly explained to Han Jiangxue.

"Really? Even so, Princess Jinyun has a noble status, even if she doesn't have much support and brings too many people, she always has extraordinary bodyguards by her side. How could Han Lei take advantage of this so easily? This

One point, do you believe it, Your Majesty?" Han Jiangxue asked directly, the sarcasm on his face was too obvious.

Anyone with some brains would think this reason is too far-fetched if they think about it carefully. She would like to hear how Li Qing explains it to himself.

However, Li Qing did not go into too much trouble and just like what his brother said before, he chose to ignore the so-called reasonableness and unreasonableness.

"Guards who fail in their duties will be punished accordingly. There is no need to elaborate on the details of how Han Lei took advantage of the loophole. In short, the facts are here. Don't underestimate the abilities of these gangsters."

Li Qing said: "Before you entered the palace, the capital government office had already verified the matter and confirmed that Han Lei was the one who insulted Princess Jinyun that day. At noon, Han Lei himself confessed and confessed. The facts of the case were conclusive and there was no doubt about it.

Even if you find it a bit unbelievable, the fact is the fact. The parties involved have confessed. No matter how surprising it is, it can't change anything."

"Has Han Lei already pleaded guilty?" Han Jiangxue sneered in her heart. Li Qing did this trick brilliantly. If Han Lei himself pleads guilty, the iron-clad case will not be able to be turned around again, and there will be no doubts about it from others.

In fact, it is an easy thing to get Han Lei to plead guilty. Whether it is through coercion or inducement, for Han Lei, he is already a dying person, and nothing will be worse than the current situation.

, As for whether it will affect other people, for a selfish and inhumane person like Han Lei, he will not consider it at all, let alone care.

"Yes, I have confessed. Otherwise, I would not have come to discuss it with you." Li Qing was as calm as ever, but from this tone, it was impossible to tell whether he thought the matter was serious or it didn't matter at all.

Of course, whether it is serious or not is all relative. Princess Jinyun is just an abandoned child of no use to Li Qing, so her reputation has no impact at all. As for what will happen to the relatives of the Han family

Such a treatment is not really that important to him.

What Li Qing cares about is Han Jiangxue's attitude. Otherwise, there would be no discussion.

To be honest, the final fate of so many members of the Han family does not depend on Han Lei, nor does it depend on Li Qing. To be honest, it should depend on Han Jiangxue.

"Discuss? Discuss what? Since the emperor has said that Han Lei himself has confessed, and the evidence is conclusive, then what can we discuss with me?" Han Jiangxue frowned: "The Han family has such a rebellious beast.

The Han family has nothing to say, and the women of the country have no qualifications to discuss anything with the emperor. The women of the country cannot bear this discussion."

Li Qing persuaded in a good voice: "Don't be angry. It affects the entire Han family. It is not a trivial matter. Even if you are dissatisfied, you still have to consider it for the entire Han family. Since I came to discuss it with you, then naturally I will do the same."

I don’t want the Han family to be so involved and bruised because of a mere Han Lei, and if possible, I don’t want to hurt your relatives and friends too much.”

"Really? I wonder what the emperor means?" Han Jiangxue frowned and seemed too lazy to get angry and did not argue with Li Qing's so-called "vindictive" words.

She knew what she knew, and she really had nothing to be angry about. It was not worth it to make herself angry for nothing.

Sometimes, Han Jiangxue really felt that Li Qing was indeed a person with a very strong mind. At least, not everyone could be so persistent in looking for trouble with the same woman.

"As long as you are willing, I can let people handle this case secretly, and only hold Han Lei and his family accountable for their crimes. As for the other Han family members, they can live a good life as before under your protection, and even

It can be better." Li Qing didn't think there was any problem with his words at all, and looked at Han Jiangxue with gentle and lingering eyes.

That kind of natural show of kindness, without any sense of humiliation, gave people an indescribable courage.

But in Han Jiangxue's eyes, everything was just a way to get her to bow her head and compromise. She did not hide her sarcasm and said with a smile: "Protect? The emperor thinks too highly of civilian women. I even protect myself."

No, where can I have the ability to protect the entire Han family?"

"As long as you marry me and become the queen of Dongming, you will naturally have the ability to protect the Han family." Li Qing did not care about the ridicule shown by Han Jiangxue, but stated the conditions directly and seriously.

Become his wife, become his queen, and from now on, the Han family can be protected by Dongming forever!

When Li Qing finally revealed his ultimate goal, Han Jiangxue was uncharacteristically neither angry nor sarcastic. Her face was as calm as water, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

It should be said that there was nothing unexpected about Li Qing's words. This emperor could be regarded as a typical example of a person who would never let go. He would not forget to take advantage of anything and serve his selfish desires openly.

At a time like this, Han Jiangxue couldn't tell whether she was numb or just too lazy to bother with useless things. She even felt that people like Li Qing were really pitiful!

Yes, it is pity, real pity, the kind of pity that even though you have the world in your hands, you actually have nothing in your heart! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support
