Fortunately, it was just a frame-up. According to Dasheng's rules, the punishment is not severe. At most, it is just a few years of suspension and the resources are halved.
They can still afford this price.
Emperor Xuanqing half-smiled: "It's so happy, I thought you were going to struggle again."
After hearing this, the three of them broke into cold sweat on their foreheads, kowtowed and shouted for mercy.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Eighty-six, how do you think it is appropriate to deal with them?"
Du Xueqing was taken aback: "Go back to your father and just follow the rules. I have no objections."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "What if I hand them over to you?"
What?
When the sixty-two princes and three other princes heard this, their souls suddenly became full of fear.
If Emperor Xuanqing handed them over to Du Xueqing, the punishment would not be as simple as grounding them.
And Emperor Xuanqing had the right to do so.
Dasheng's rules can restrict anyone, but they cannot restrict the emperor.
The emperor's words are his will and law.
Du Xueqing said: "Then I will kill them."
I'm going to... There was a commotion in the court.
Although the royal family has a brutal competitive relationship, if they want to compete to the end, they will inevitably have to eliminate their opponents and kill each other, which is commonplace.
But it is rare for Du Xueqing to speak out so bluntly.
After all, although she and the Sixty-two and others are hostile, they have not yet reached the stage of life and death. If she kills the Sixty-two and the others now, it will be tantamount to breaking with the force that the Sixty-two and the others belong to, and they will not die.
If you don't stop, there may be a lot of trouble in the future.
The so-called "leave a thin line" in life, so that we can meet each other easily in the future. If you leave room now, it will become an opportunity in the future. After all, people's circumstances are different. It is hard to say which prince will rise in the future. If it is not to the point of life and death, it will be
Taking advantage of the situation and considering how to maximize benefits is the strategy of a king.
What's more, killing the sixty-second prince and three other people will only make others think that she is cruel and ruthless. If she falls into the hands of others in the future, they will probably use the same method to deal with her to avoid leaving hidden dangers.
This answer is extremely unwise.
The faces of the sixty-two princes and the three other princes turned pale, and their eyes were full of horror when they looked at Du Xueqing.
Is this something that ordinary people can say?
Emperor Xuanqing was not dissatisfied, but curiously asked: "Why?
They plot against you, and you want their lives, don't you think about the future at all?"
Du Xueqing was actually possessed by Chen Hao's spirit at this moment. After hearing this, she said: "They are not plotting, but they can't kill me all at once, so they can only do it step by step, but the ultimate goal is to kill me, including their secret replacement."
My father, the maid you sent to guard me, didn't let me go out. Didn't you also want to slowly let me wait for death?
In this case, why should I be polite?"
The expressions of the sixty-two princes and the three princes changed again. It turned out that Du Xueqing already knew that the three maids were sent by them.
Now they don't need to test it, but the emperor also knows that the maid he sent has been replaced.
Of course, the emperor must have known about it for a long time and just ignored it, but the problem is that there are two different things between someone saying this and not saying it.
Some people have said that what they did is tantamount to deceiving the emperor and neglecting their superiors.
Du Xueqing continued: "I have seized the best spiritual root, and I have become the target of public criticism. It can even be said that I am the enemy of the whole world.
So when I think about the problem, I can't act step by step like before. If I fall into the hands of others, I will definitely be taken away. There is no second possibility, so I have nothing to worry about. I will kill anyone who is my enemy. Only
Only the dead have no bad intentions and cannot resist me."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Aren't you afraid of retaliation when you do this?"
Du Xueqing asked: "If I don't do this, won't I suffer retaliation?"
Emperor Xuanqing said: "But if you do it, the revenge will be stronger."
Du Xueqing said: "The stronger the revenge, if it cannot kill me, it will make me rebound and grow.
After my body-stealing ultimate spiritual root was exposed, I no longer have room to retreat like other royals, so I will either grow and reach the final step, or disappear in the middle, and I am ready."
Emperor Xuanqing nodded slightly: "It's good if you think so."
He added: "Of course, I will not leave Sixty Two, One Seventy Three and Two Five Six to your disposal. They are not worthy of death and cannot be killed by you."
Hearing this, the sixty-two princes and the three princes let out a long sigh.
Du Xueqing said nothing.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "And this matter is not over yet. Although the three of them have confessed, before Liu Twelve said that in addition to slapping him, you also said that Liu Twelve and Emperor Daughter 173 were incestuous and shameless.
To ruin the reputation of the royal family?”
Du Xueqing said: "Yes."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "You say that, do you have any evidence?"
Du Xueqing said: "These words are just a verbal spat between me and Sixty-Two. As long as no action is taken, it is not a violation of etiquette."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "I ask you if you have any evidence. You only need to answer yes or no."
Du Xueqing said: "No."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Then the sixty-two accusations against you of frame-up are true?"
Du Xueqing said: "Father, it is common for the royal family to have conflicts and quarrel with each other. Does this violate etiquette and the rules of Dasheng?"
Emperor Xuanqing: "It's not a violation, but I just want to hold you accountable for making a mistake, can't I?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Originally, in a few words, Emperor Xuanqing gave a qualitative explanation for the fact that the 62nd prince, the 173rd prince, and the 256th prince jointly accused the 86th prince of slapping, and he came to a conclusion with an obvious biased attitude.
Therefore, everyone thought that the scene of Du Xueqing slapping the Sixty-Second Prince was missing from the records of the formation, and that it was Emperor Xuanqing's manipulation to deliberately favor the Eighty-Sixth Prince.
The reason for the favoritism is also easy to find: the Eighty-Sixth Princess has the best spiritual roots and passed the grounding assessment, which satisfied the emperor.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
You know, it is very common for the royal family to have verbal quarrels. When they get angry, it is not uncommon for them to curse each other viciously and use dirty words.
However, swearing and being physical are two different things. Generally speaking, as long as the swearing is not done on a specific or important occasion, it is not considered a violation of etiquette, and Dasheng regulations will not include this in it.
But the emperor persisted in pursuing this point, and his attitude was very obvious, that is, he wanted to punish the eighty-sixth princess.
This is a bit confusing.
Prince 62, Princess 173, and Prince 256 looked happy.
They originally thought that the emperor was secretly favoring Du Xueqing, and that the accusations made by them and others were a waste of time and disgrace. However, they did not expect that the emperor would attack Du Xueqing before he dealt with them.
It seems that the emperor is not partial to Eighty-Six, and probably wants to play fifty-fifty for each. Du Xueqing, who is impartial, said: "Okay, but I would like to ask my father, Prince Sixty-two took the initiative to provoke me before, what should I say?"
He publicly insulted me with his sarcastic words, such as being open-minded and caring, may I ask, Father, do you plan to pursue him for his gaffe?"
