When Wang De walked into the Dragon Palace, he saw Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang kneeling in front of Her Majesty, obediently pouring the fragrant tea into a crystal white white porcelain cup.
"Oh, bring him in!"
His Majesty Li Er responded and glanced helplessly at Princess Jinyang who was lingering on leaving.
Maybe she heard some news. This daughter who had always been very close to Fang Jun came over to defend Fang Jun, and now she refused to leave. She was obviously afraid that she would punish Fang Jun heavily when she was angry...
I was a little dissatisfied. My daughter was so close to another man. I guess any father would be unhappy, even if this man was the husband of another daughter. But when I thought about the seafood I just ate, and the
Fang Jun's pampering and pampering towards Princess Jinyang made His Majesty Li Er somewhat relieved.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if the relationship between children is better?
"The humble minister Fang Jun has met Your Majesty and His Highness Princess Jinyang."
A clear voice sounded, and His Majesty Li Er straightened his face and raised his head to look.
Fang Jun wore a navy blue straight suit, which made his strong body look a little thin. Although his face was a little dark, he had thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was clean and handsome.
She was thinking about how to show off this boy, but Princess Jinyang beside her raised her little face, showed a sweet smile, and said in a clear voice: "Brother-in-law, please excuse me. Come on, please give me a seat."
His Majesty Li Er choked on his chest. This was so uncomfortable...
This is my privilege. I didn’t say anything, but you little girl actually stole the show?
The majesty of the emperor is inviolable. If the person who said this was a prince, he would inevitably be suspected of overstepping his bounds, and he would be punished if he did not say it. But now it is the most doting daughter who is speaking... Okay, just pretend that you didn't hear it at all.
alright.
His Majesty Li Er was very depressed. Although he knew that Si Zi wanted to protect Fang Jun, there was nothing he could do.
She is definitely reluctant to rebuke her, so we can only let her go...
Fortunately, Fang Jun knew in advance why His Majesty Li Er had summoned him, and had already made a plan in his mind. Naturally, he would not be so indifferent, and returned the gift respectfully, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty... I don't know that His Majesty Yin Ye summoned him."
, but what are your orders?”
"Yin Ye..." The corners of His Majesty Li Er's eyes twitched and he glanced out the window. The sky was getting dark. It was the end of Shen Shi and the beginning of You Shi. Stay away from Yin Ye, okay?
Ignoring Fang Jun's implication, he said calmly: "What do you think of the Qiu Shenji case?"
Fang Jun thought to himself, I'm not Yuan Fang, what should I think?
The palace maid moved to a brocade pier on the order of Princess Jinyang. Fang Jun did not dare to sit on it and said: "This case is the responsibility of Dali Temple. I believe Sun Temple Qing will enforce the law impartially, but he has nothing to do with the humble minister.
"
His Majesty Li Er smiled disdainfully: "The cause of Qiu Shenji's case was his attack on the Ministry of War. As the left minister of the Ministry of War, I am also one of the parties involved. You can tell me what you think."
Fang Jun hesitated and asked, "Seriously?"
His Majesty Li Er looked at it playfully and snorted: "You have no joke!"
Qiu Shenji's crimes include, firstly, assaulting the Ministry of War, and secondly, ramming into Princess Jinyang's car. Needless to say, the latter, the severity of the punishment is all at the discretion of His Majesty Li Er, while the former must depend on the attitude of the Ministry of War. After all, it is a central government office.
Face and dignity are very important.
If Fang Jun could understand His Majesty Li Er's intentions and take the initiative to express his magnanimity and let Qiu Shenji off the hook, then His Majesty Li Er would definitely be very happy and could give Qiu Shenji a lighter punishment, which would be a face to Qiu Xinggong, who was pleading guilty.
So regarding the rumors, His Majesty Li Er will naturally let them go. After all, the rumors among the people are not true, and it seems that there is obviously some unknown fishery in them.
But apparently he miscalculated Fang Jun's determination to completely "annihilate" Qiu Shenji...
"Here!"
Fang Jun straightened his upper body, his temperament suddenly changed, and he spoke sternly: "Your Majesty, the state has national laws, and families have family rules. If the majesty of the law cannot be maintained, everyone can trample on the law. Wouldn't it be a chaos in the country? Why would Qiu Shenji dare?
He has no court and despises the Ministry of War? This is all because his father is a meritorious veteran. When his Majesty thinks of his past achievements, he will often be accommodating, which makes him feel confident! If it were an ordinary official, he would not have the courage to give him a hundred.
Dare to attack the Ministry of War Yamen!"
His Majesty Li Er's face was already a little ugly, and he sneered: "This is exactly why you dare to punch the prince and kick the minister!"
"Uh..." Fang Jun was confused and defended: "Returning to your majesty, back then Liu Jie... Weichen also hit him with his fists, not his feet..."
His Majesty Li Er looked impatient: "Stop talking about useless things and continue talking."
The anger in my heart has gradually risen.
Don't you understand what I mean? If you let go and don't pursue Qiu Shenji, then I can't explain anything to Qiu Xinggong. After all, he was the veteran who followed me into the battle, and I promised Qiu Xinggong to go first; in return, I will do the same.
We don't pursue those rumors, and everyone lives in peace, wouldn't everyone be happy?
But the guy in front of me obviously has no intention of giving up. He looks like he is trying to bite Qiu Shenji and won't let him go. This is disgusting...
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "I obey my orders... Princess Jinyang is the lord of thousands of times, with golden branches and jade leaves. As your Majesty's daughter, she should naturally be loved and supported by the people of the world... What's more, Your Highness Jinyang is so well-behaved and sensible.
Even the slightest injury to Zhong Ling Yuxiu is enough to make humans and gods feel angry and pitiful! But Qiu Shenji actually openly ran into His Highness’s car on the street, which is simply unforgivable!”
When Princess Jinyang heard Fang Jun praising her, she smiled brightly even though she was sitting still, obviously she was very pleased with it.
Fang Jun continued: "... Qiu Shenji's argument that he didn't know anything beforehand cannot be used as a reason to forgive him. Many mistakes are made unintentionally. Can all of them be solved just by saying 'not knowing'?
Has he been pardoned? Then why amend the law? The law is majestic, and the scale used to punish criminals is the consequences of the crime. Whether or not they were informed can only be used as a reference and play a role in the actual sentencing process. Your Majesty, just imagine
, if His Highness Jinyang suffered a fright that day and became seriously ill, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that Qiu Shenji was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts! Therefore, Your Majesty must not forgive Qiu Shenji. Not only cannot he forgive, but he must also be severely punished to set an example to others.
We must put an end to the possibility of things like attacking the Ministry of War Yamen and ramming into the princess's car happening again! Because His Highness Jinyang is safe and sound this time, it does not mean that he will be safe and sound next time... If everyone sees that Qiu Shenji is innocent, everyone will imitate his arrogance and domineering behavior.
One day someone bumps into His Highness again... maybe he won't be so lucky."
Upon hearing these words, His Majesty Li Er's expression changed.
Princess Jinyang was his lifeblood. His doting on this frail and sick daughter who lost her mother when she was young was absolutely unparalleled among his peers. His pity and pity were extremely deep. Even Princess Changle was not as good as her.
If what Fang Jun said really happened, Princess Jinyang would be frightened and become seriously ill or even die... He simply couldn't imagine it.
Moreover, someone reported last year that the officials of the third rank and above in the court did not respect the princes and princesses enough. His Majesty Li Er was angry and summoned the ministers to investigate the crime: I am the emperor, and my children are the most noble people in the world. Why can't we show enough respect? From now on, when officials meet the princes and princesses on the road, they will have to give way to their drivers and salute them when they see them!
In the end, Wei Zheng and a group of ministers fought back, and His Majesty Li Er felt depressed for a while...
Now that Fang Jun said this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly became interested.
The entire country belongs to me, but my children cannot get enough respect... This is so discouraging!
At this time, Princess Jinyang, who had been obedient and silent, came with an assist: "Father, you didn't see that Qiu Jiji's appearance that day... That man was lying on a door panel, and he was fiercely ordering the family under his hands. The guards who are about to beat their children to death are really too cruel!"
The attitude in His Majesty Li Er's heart has changed. Of course, Qiu Xinggong's face must be given, but my face must also be protected! If his daughter was hit by a car and the driver could show his magnanimity and forget the blame, wouldn't it make the ministers in the court even more embarrassed? Don’t you take your children seriously?
This trend must not be encouraged!
However, His Majesty Li Er did not intend to let Fang Jun go easily...
He put down the tea cup in his hand and stared at Fang Jun sullenly.
Haha, you use my daughter as a raft and you think I can spare you?
