Chapter 781: Do whatever you want

This verdict is somewhat of a joke!

If you eliminate harm for the people, you will be exempted from punishment. Is there such a law in Da Rong?

Besides, the reward of 10,000 taels of silver was too big. It seemed like it was coming out of the blue, and it was even more like a joke to ask Duke Yang’s mansion to pay for it.

In the past, the emperor did not like to show mercy outside the law, and he did not like to make decisions for the people. Moreover, a small amount of fine was not enough for him to fill the treasury, so how could he issue it to Feng.

"What about Feng?"

"I took the reward and left the prison."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, no matter what, this result is always the best.

Outside the study room in the palace, when Shangguan Xu came over, several ministers were already outside.

Lu Changan, Marquis Yun and Murong Tuo gathered together, and Qin Feishi and Duke Yang Guo gathered together. The two groups were talking in low voices, and one could see their anxiety from their faces.

When they saw Shangguan Xu approaching, several people came to greet him.

"Shangguan Du Gong, this emperor has not been in court for half a month. We want to meet, and there is a message from inside asking us to wait." Yang Guogong said and wiped his sweat, "I have been waiting for almost two hours.

, the emperor will have something to say whether he will summon us or not."

It has already entered summer, and it has become extremely hot these days, especially outside the study room, where there is no shade. They have been waiting here since the morning and haven't eaten lunch. The sun is scorching right now, and their tongues and mouths are dry from the heat.

It's dry, and I can't help but feel a little angry.

"Yes, the sun is so hot, and we are wearing thick court clothes, everyone is almost fainting from the heat." Marquis Yun also said.

Shangguan Xu glanced at a few people and clicked his tongue, "The emperor asked you to wait, so of course he will be summoned. Sirs, please calm down and wait a little longer."

"How did I hear that the emperor is not in the palace?" Qin Fei looked at Shangguan Xu and said.

Shangguan Xu raised his eyebrows, "I don't know where King Anqing heard this from. You'd better explain it clearly, otherwise others will think that the governor is just fabricating it."

Qin Fei took a deep breath. Since the last time he went to the Governor's Mansion to block Liu Yunxiang, he could feel that Shangguan Xu was not as obedient to him as before.

Qin Feishi smiled and said, "I probably heard wrong."

Shangguan Xu sighed, "Masters, please be patient. I will go in and ask you some questions."

"Then it's up to you, Governor Shangguan." Lu Changan said.

"King Suping is welcome."

Shangguan Xu turned around and entered the upper study room. When he turned inside, he saw that the dragon chair was empty, and on the Arhat bed by the window, there was a person leaning on the pillow, chewing an apple and reading a book.

After taking a quick look at it, he took the pen and criticized it, then threw it aside.

"Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, it is not good to avenge private revenge." Shangguan Xu said with his hands behind his back.

Yan Mu took another bite of the apple and turned to look at Shangguan Xu, "The governor can't accuse me unjustly."

Shangguan Xu raised his chin and said, "Those people are going to faint from the sun."

"Ah, they are still outside?" Yan Mu pretended to be surprised.

Shangguan Xu was amused, "His Majesty Seventh is not young, so it would be a bit childish to do this."

Yan Mu snorted, "That's all, go and ask them what they have to report."

Shangguan Xu first collected the folds on the ground and put them away before going out. Before the emperor left the palace, he asked Yan Mu to handle the government affairs and asked him to supervise them. The two of them were ordered by the emperor to work together.

As soon as Shangguan Xu came out, several people gathered around him.

"Will the Emperor summon us?"

Shangguan Xu coughed dryly and said, "The emperor is not feeling well and cannot be exposed to wind. If the ministers have anything to say, please tell me, and I will report it to the emperor."

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes, "The emperor is really not in the palace, is he?"

Shangguan Xu turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, "King Suping, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Lu Changan lowered his eyes and broke into the study privately. This was a capital crime. Even if he wanted to go in, he shouldn't be the one to take the lead.

Lu Changan thought this way, and Qin Feishi thought the same way, so neither of them moved.

At this time, Duke Yang came forward and said: "My son Xue Hefeng was assassinated. Both Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple were responsible. However, they let Feng go before the murderer was caught. I think it is inappropriate, especially if

To reward her with 10,000 taels, it is... even more inappropriate for my government to pay this amount of money. I ask the emperor to order Dali Temple to catch my son's murderer as soon as possible. As for the case my son is involved in, it needs to be concluded as soon as possible.

Feng was sentenced in accordance with the law."

Shangguan Xu sighed. He was also there when the eldest princess entered the palace. She told Yan Mu that Liu Yunxiang wanted to save the Feng family and asked Yan Mu to think of a way. When Yan Mu heard that it was Liu Yunxiang's order, he immediately issued an oral order asking Dali Temple to release

people.

He also asked at the time: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Nothing wrong."

"This is a serious crime of murdering your husband."

"Xue Hefeng deserves to die."

"What about asking the Duke's government to provide ten thousand taels of silver?"

"Think of it as compensation for Feng."

“There is no such provision in Da Rong’s law.”

"How about adding it."

"You are just acting as an agent of the government."

"So I need to make some achievements so that my father can see His Highness' ability."

Shangguan Xu could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to follow his words and pass on oral instructions. At that time, the minister of Dali Temple was silent for a long time and asked: "Is the emperor fasting and chanting Buddha's name recently?"

After Na Yangguo finished speaking, he was still furious and his face was ashen.

Shangguan Xu clicked his tongue: "The crimes committed by the criminal Xue Hefeng are too numerous to list. Although Dali Temple has sorted out some of them, there are still many involved, so we must continue to investigate in depth. Whatever the Duke of Yang is anxious about, we will not find you."

Duke Yang's eyes widened, "I was not involved in the crime committed by this rebellious son."

"That's it. As for the ten thousand taels of silver, the Duke's office was sympathetic to the third wife and the young master at that time. After all, the fertilizer did not flow to other people's fields."

Duke Yang Guo relied on his ability to follow the dragon and thought that the emperor would give him some face, but in the end he didn't give him any.

Murong Tuo was also a little anxious and winked at Lu Changan from time to time. Seeing that he lowered his eyes and said nothing, he walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I will leave for Nanbian Prefecture in the near future. You must quickly recommend me to the suburbs of Beijing."

Commander of the camp, this matter cannot be delayed."

Lu Changan was silent for a moment and secretly shook his head at Murong Tuo.

"Your Majesty..."

"Nothing will happen today."

Seeing that Lu Changan didn't speak, Shangguan Xu turned to look at Qin Fei. Seeing that he didn't speak either, he smiled and said, "If you have nothing to report, you can leave the palace first."

After Shangguan Xu said this, he turned around and went in.

Yan Mu had also finished eating the apples and was flipping through the booklet in boredom. If he wanted to touch it, he would check it. If he didn't want to touch it, he would just throw it on the ground.

"They have begun to doubt." Shangguan Xu said.

Yan Mu didn't care at all, "It's up to them."

"It is inappropriate for His Highness to handle government affairs as he pleases."

"As long as your Highness is happy."

"What will you say to the emperor when he returns to the palace?"

Yan Mu clicked his tongue, "I thought my father always handled government affairs as he pleased."

Shangguan Xu was speechless. Not only did he do whatever he wanted, he was simply arbitrary.

The two were talking, but Lu Changan and Qin Feishi barged in together. The two looked at the room, and finally fixed their sights on Yan Mu.

"Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you are so bold, you hold the Holy Emperor hostage, monopolize the government, and intend to rebel!"
