Xuanyuan Leng belatedly stepped into the Golden Palace, where all the civil and military officials had already arrived.
The ministers who were whispering in groups all looked at him and then stopped. But many of them looked a little strange.
But Xuanyuan Leng knew clearly in his heart what these people were thinking.
These people who looked at him strangely were all from the Liu Faction and the Huang Faction. He knew best what they had in mind.
And he just waits for them to build a net, and then he drives them into the net!
A cold and evil smile appeared on his lips, and a cold light shot out from his slightly narrowed eyes, like a sharp arrow, and he glanced sideways at the ministers.
Those who were swept by his gaze felt a sudden chill in their hearts.
He never needed too many words to shock everyone.
The coldness and cruelty in him made people dare not get even half a step closer.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhe also walked out, dressed in Minghuang Emperor's clothes and wearing a nine-dragon beaded crown. His whole person looked majestic and extraordinary, but he had a more distinguished air than his usual gentle appearance.
He sat down on the golden throne.
The ministers quickly arranged their appearance, knelt down and saluted: "I see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"All the nobles have their own lives!" Xuanyuanzhe said in a deep voice.
Seeing everyone getting up, Xuanyuan Zhe asked slowly: "Do you have anything important to do today?"
After he finished speaking, he saw the Minister of Civil Affairs standing up: "Go back to the emperor, I have something to report!"
"Master Zhang, please tell me something!" Xuanyuanzhe said.
Xuanyuan Leng, on the other hand, tilted his head slightly and stood in front of the officials, not even looking at Zhang Shangshu. He knew exactly what he wanted to say.
And he was just waiting for them to make a fuss.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Major General Liu Zhiliu had his arm chopped off the night before yesterday. I was absolutely horrified and chilled all the officials. Moreover, I heard that the person who hurt him was a relative of the emperor!" Zhang Shangshu said solemnly.
He played, his voice still seemed to be filled with sadness.
And Liu Xin, just at this moment, when everyone looked at him, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and his coordination was perfect.
Then the Minister of Hubu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is a serious crime to harm an official. I hope that the Emperor can learn clearly, punish evil and promote good, and let those who hurt others be punished! Only then can all the officials be convinced!"
"that is……"
"that is……"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard many voices behind him echoing his words.
Xuanyuan Leng kept a cold expression on his face, making it difficult to see any of his expressions and what he was thinking in his heart at this time.
Xuanyuan Zhe glanced at him, feeling a little strange in his heart, because Xuanyuan Leng looked too calm, as if he was strategizing.
He straightened his body, and then said in a solemn voice: "I already know about this matter, and I have ordered the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment to file the case for a joint trial! What is right and what is wrong will be investigated and justice will be given to the victims, regardless of whether they are close or distant.
All status and official positions will be dealt with according to the law, and those who hurt others will be severely punished!"
He spoke with dignity and justice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Leng stood up, with a half-smile on his lips, and gently slapped his slender hands twice: "Your Majesty is really upright and admirable, and I also agree that no matter how close you are, regardless of your status or official position, as long as you
Those who break the law will be treated as civilians! With the emperor’s words today, I don’t have to worry about some people not being punished!”
"It's the best that Your Majesty can say this!" After hearing his words, the Minister of Civil Affairs said coldly, with a wicked smile on his lips, as if he had foreseen that Xuanyuan would be punished coldly.
"This is natural. As an official of the imperial court, you should establish a reputation!" Xuanyuan Leng said again.
These words are becoming more and more incomprehensible.
Xuanyuan Leng turned around and said, "Your Majesty, do you have an unkind request?"
Xuanyuan Zhe looked at his sudden request. Although he didn't know the meaning, he still responded: "You said?"
"I see that the ministers seem to have some opinions on me. I never want to be looked at in such a strange way, so I would like to interrogate me on the spot in the Jinluan Palace to give me a clear answer?" Xuanyuan Leng said slowly,
It was clear that he seemed very weak in his words, but his tone was very strong.
"This..." Xuanyuan Zhe looked at Xuanyuan Leng's confident appearance and became worried. He was afraid that he really had some concrete evidence, so he hesitated: "This seems to be against the law. I have never seen that.
The emperor tried the case in the court hall."
"Your Majesty, although there has never been one before, your Majesty can be the first person, and I have definite evidence for this case. It won't take long!" Xuanyuan Leng said. At this time, he saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel seemed to be about to say something, so he
He stopped with a cold voice: "The emperor interrogated the guilty in court, punished the guilty, and restored the innocence of the injured. The people will definitely shout that the emperor is wise. Mr. Zhang, do you agree?"
Zhang Shangshu felt slightly embarrassed when he said this, so he nodded and remained silent.
Xuanyuan Leng added: "Although I have never seen the emperor of that dynasty try cases in the Jinluan Palace, there is no law that says cases cannot be tried in the court hall? Is that right, Mr. Chen?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Guang, the Minister of Punishment.
Then the Minister of Punishment stood up and said: "It is true that there has never been such a law."
Xuanyuan Zhe, on the other hand, thought about it and still felt that something was wrong, but now he was forced to ride a tiger by Xuanyuan Leng, so he had to take one step at a time: "That's the case, then King Leng, please present the evidence!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xuanyuan smiled coldly, then turned and looked at Liu Xin: "Master Liu, I want to ask you two questions?"
"Just ask if you have anything!" Liu Xin replied, glaring at him angrily. In fact, he felt a little weak in his heart. Everyone knew that Xuanyuan Leng was not an easy master to deal with.
Moreover, the matter itself was that they were wrong in the first place. Even though the emperor was behind him, if Xuanyuan Leng could find definite evidence, the emperor would not be able to protect him.
And seeing how confident he looked, he was even more worried.
"Actually, this question is also very simple!" Xuanyuan Leng looked at Liu Xin's worried eyes, smiled coldly in his heart, and said deliberately unsteadily.
"If King Leng has anything to say, just ask! You're welcome!" Liu Xin asked anxiously.
Xuanyuan Leng raised an evil smile: "That's right, I just want to ask, Master Liu said that he saw my princess abandoned in the backyard of your home the afternoon before yesterday?"
"Exactly!" Liu Xin said coldly, thinking that Xuanyuan Leng was going to ask something, but it turned out to be this.
"Excuse me, sir, when was that time?" Xuanyuanzhe asked.
Liu Xin didn't expect that Xuanyuan Leng would ask about the time. He didn't know how to word it for a moment. After thinking about it, he wanted to say it was in the evening, but he felt it was wrong because Xuanyuan Leng was asked to deliver the message in the afternoon.
So I could only make up: "At that time, it was probably in Weishi... It happened to be shortly after King Leng sent the message. I heard that there was an injured person abandoned in the backyard, so I asked someone to carry it up and take a look.
Only then did we know that person was Princess Leng!"
