Chapter 799 Demotion

"Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the great general Song Heng."

The imperial censor took the lead and knelt down, and then the group of people behind him also knelt down and shouted: "Please punish the great general Song Heng severely."

Xuanyuan Yu looked at the dozen or so ministers kneeling in the palace with unclear expressions. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"Song Aiqing, do you have anything to say?"

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Song Heng and asked.

Song Aiqing, these three words made the expression of the kneeling person change.

Song Heng made such a mistake, and the emperor still called him Song Aiqing, which shows how much the emperor valued Song Heng.

The severe punishment they want may not come true.

Song Heng stood up, lifted up his official robe, knelt on the ground and said, "I have nothing to say. Please punish me."

Xuanyuan Liuyun frowned, stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although General Song made mistakes, he was only eager to protect his daughter. Please look at the great achievements that General Song has made to protect our Dongchen Kingdom.

, spare General Song this time."

He would stand up and speak for General Song, firstly because he admired General Song, and secondly because the emperor wanted to protect him. The emperor wanted to protect him, so naturally someone had to stand up and speak for him.

However, he was also shocked when he heard about this.

One is that he was shocked that Song Ziyu dared to kill someone, and the other was that he was shocked that General Song, an upright and loyal general, would help his daughter destroy her body in order to protect her.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately rebutted him.

"According to what the young prince said, anyone who has some merits can rely on those merits to protect their children or even their own clan members who have committed crimes?"

"That is, if this is the case, why not mess up and arouse more public resentment?"

Xuanyuan Liuyun looked at the ministers who refuted him and said: "Let me ask you, if your children commit a crime, can you kill your parents and send your children to prison with your own hands?"

The ministers hesitated for a moment, then said with a pinched neck: "Of course I can."

They say they are firm, but if a child in the family really commits a crime, they will only find a way to solve the problem privately, and will not kill their relatives and send their children to prison.

"Oh~" Xuanyuan Liuyun changed his voice, looked at one of the civil servants and said: "Mr. Chen, if I remember correctly, your son had a conflict with someone on the street and interrupted someone's speech.

leg.

Why didn’t I see you destroying your relatives out of righteousness and sending your son to the Yamen to face legal sanctions?”

"..." Mr. Chen's face turned red and he was speechless as if Xuanyuan Liuyun had tapped his acupuncture points, because this was indeed the case.

It's just that he settled the matter by threatening to spend money.

The Minister of War saw that the emperor wanted to protect Song Heng, and there might be a war in the north. At that time, he would have to rely on General Song, so nothing could happen to General Song.

As ministers, they naturally have to share the emperor's worries. Since the emperor wants to protect Song Heng, they, as ministers, naturally have to follow the emperor's wishes.

So the Minister of the Ministry of War also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the young prince is absolutely right. General Song made this mistake because he was eager to protect his daughter, and it is human nature for a father to love his children and protect them.

Please ask your Majesty to spare General Song this time."

"Please, Your Majesty, spare General Song."

Seeing that the Minister of War stood up to plead for Song Heng, many generals also stood up to plead for him.

Seeing this, Shen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. With so many people interceding for his brother-in-law, he should be fine.

Xuanyuan Yu was very satisfied when he saw so many people standing up to plead for Song Heng, but he didn't show it at all.

He looked at Song Heng with a sullen face and said, "Although Song Qing has so many people interceding for you, I have to punish you."

He pointed at the ministers who impeached Song Heng and said, "Just like they said, I have to give an explanation to the world."

"Let's do this! I'll punish you by demoting you to the rank of General Zhenbei, suspending your salary for two years, and suspending yourself for three months to reflect on your mistakes."

Although Song Heng cannot be punished too harshly, he cannot be punished too lightly, otherwise it will be difficult to silence everyone.

Song Heng said loudly: "Song Heng, the guilty minister, thanks the Lord for his kindness."

All civil and military officials in the dynasty raised their hands and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise."
