989. Chapter 989 Unwilling to set off another storm 【03】
As he spoke, he laughed, causing Xiao Che and Xiao Run to laugh too, but they were embarrassed to laugh out of respect for Shen Can, so they could only tilt their heads or pretend to have an itchy face, cover their mouths with their hands and chuckle.
Fu Yu has seen a lot of the world in front of the emperor, but this is the first time he has seen the prime minister in such a mess. He has been very tough over the years.
Your Majesty finally caught him, and he had to give him a good tease.
Moreover, Fu Yu was the emperor's confidant, and he knew what it meant whenever the emperor sneezed.
The emperor did not insist on humiliating Shen Can because he was full, but he just wanted to lower Shen Can's dignified and somewhat arrogant air in the court.
You are a prime minister, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a minister. If the emperor finds it a bit difficult to talk to you, wouldn't it be dangerous?
When the emperor's son takes the throne, won't you, Shen Can, become even more arrogant and arrogant?
Suppress it now so that the new king can use it later.
The emperor looked at Xiao Che and Xiao Run, "You two have been studying for a long time. Let's see how Liu will deal with this matter?"
Xiao Che and Xiao Run immediately fell silent.
For a moment, Xiao Che glanced at Xiao Run, and Xiao Run immediately said: "Your Majesty, although Mrs. Liu is vicious, she is a lady from a famous family after all. If she is really executed like Mrs. Zhao, it would not be appropriate."
The emperor and others looked at him, and Shen Can was also quite grateful and cupped his hands.
"Say." The emperor raised his hand, indicating for him to continue.
Xiao Run glanced at Xiao Che again and continued: "Father, Mrs. Zhao is just a cheap servant. Beating her to death in public can deter those slaves from thinking about murdering their master to get rich. Any slave who harms his master will Regardless of her merits, she will be beaten to death. But after all, Mrs. Liu is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family and the wife of the prime minister. If she is really beaten to death in public like this, or if the crime is made public, it will cause panic. Let those The ladies feel that their status is not guaranteed, and they allow those lowly slaves and maids to rejoice in their misfortune and have a reason to abuse their masters behind their backs. This is absolutely not allowed."
The emperor nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Che again, "What do you mean, boss?"
Xiao Che took a step forward and started talking, "Father, son, minister and second brother have different intentions."
He cupped his hands towards Shen Can and said, "Please don't mind, Prime Minister. Che will just discuss the matter."
He said clearly: "If the master beats the slave to death, then we will not help the slave to deal with the master. Moreover, Mrs. Liu must have beaten to death many servants, wives and girls, and we have not served them justice. After all, they She is Liu's slave and is private property. But Liu's case is different. She violated the princess in the name of the county lord, killed Mrs. Pei in the name of a relative, and as the legitimate mother of the royal family, she hired a murderer to kill her legitimate son. My legitimate daughter, this is unforgivable. Not only that, she actually tried to poison Princess Lanze and let her own daughter take the blame. It can be said to be cold-blooded and inhumane. She must be severely punished. Not killing her will not be enough to thank the world."
Shen Can lowered his head even more. There was nothing wrong with his family's back house, but his family actually caused troubles several times to the public, allowing everyone to comment.
At that time, killing Zhao was a very satisfying thing, but what about Liu now?
She is the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion and the wife of the Prime Minister. If she is to be executed, she will definitely attract criticism from all the ladies in the capital, and people will be in panic all day long.
