Chapter 542 Punishment on Lengxi
At this time, the emperor felt weak and almost collapsed. He had no intention of dealing with these messy chores. He simply waved his hand.
"Eunuch Liu, I'm tired. Please help me go back and rest. It's up to you to decide what happens here!"
When Eunuch Liu saw this, he nodded in agreement.
"I understand, I will help you go in and have a rest."
After saying this, Liu Xi supported the emperor and walked towards the Yangxin Hall step by step.
Seeing that the emperor left like this, Liu Dechang raised his finger angrily and pointed at Yu Shiming,
"Yu Shiming, Yu Shiming, you are really telling lies with your eyes wide open, without blushing. You clearly know that Prince Xi wants to rebel, but you are talking nonsense here and blindly covering up."
Yu Shiming was not angry because of his insults. Instead, he clasped his fists at him and said with an understatement:
"General Liu, which of your eyes saw that Prince Xi was about to rebel? You have been saying the word "rebellion". The purpose of Prince Xi's coming today is to see the emperor with his own eyes to determine whether the emperor is safe. You said
He rebelled? Where is the evidence? Just by your mouth, how can anyone believe it? Besides, you slandered Prince Xi, which is not a small crime. What if you are the Lord Protector? Don't be confused at this time.
, and it ends up being a late night with no guarantee!”
"You..." Liu Dechang was so angry that he raised his beard, waved his sleeves and turned away from him, not looking at him.
Anyway, neither the emperor nor Eunuch Liu is blind. Leng Xi led troops into the palace, and everyone knew his purpose.
After Liu Xi settled the emperor, he was stopped by the emperor as he was about to leave.
"Liu Xi!"
"emperor……"
"There are some things that don't need to be made clear. I have already lost two daughters and a son. I am getting old and I don't want to give away people with gray hair. If the people know what happened today, then I will
There’s no place for that old face, you know?”
The emperor's words made Liu Xi sigh and he nodded heavily,
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Publish my instructions and give him a small punishment but a big punishment! After this incident, I am tired and I really want to take a good rest..."
When saying this, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed sadly.
Liu Xi can understand the emperor's mood. He has followed the emperor for many years. Although he knows that the emperor's personality is changeable, he also knows that in his heart, he still hopes to have a life where his children are filial and his descendants are around his knees...
The emperor told him a few more words intermittently, and he tucked the emperor into his bed, shook his head silently, turned around, and limped out of the palace.
At this time, Leng Yu also brought Xiao Lingzi to the entrance of Yangxin Palace. He heard about what happened in the palace when he first entered the palace. He was fortunate that there were no serious consequences.
When Leng Xi saw Leng Yu coming back, even though he tried his best to calm down, there were still beads of sweat pouring out from his forehead. However, he was still secretly glad that his mother and concubine came in time, otherwise, his chances of winning would be really bad.
big.
Seeing Leng Yuzheng walking this way, Luo Lan hurriedly greeted him.
"Ms. sir, are you back?"
"Well, the lady is frightened."
The expressions on their faces when they met made Leng Xi take a breath.
Judging from the calm expressions on Luo Lan and Liu Dechang's faces when they saw Leng Yu, they seemed to have known for a long time that Leng Yu would come back. In other words, Leng Yu's relief mission was just a cover, and they had teamed up to trick him.
trap.
No wonder the people guarding the city gate and the palace gate were taken down by Liu Dechang in one fell swoop. It turned out that they had been prepared for it.
In this case, the people who went to assassinate Leng Yu must have failed. This group of trash, Leng Xi's fists in his sleeves were clenched tighter at this time, and his teeth were gritted by him.
At this time, the door of Yangxin Hall opened from the inside. Everyone's eyes were fixed on this door. Everyone was waiting for Liu Xi to come out. As long as he came out, they would know how the emperor wanted to deal with this matter.
Liu Xi walked out of the door slowly, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
He glanced at everyone, and when he saw Leng Yu, he nodded to him, then looked at Leng Xi,
"Everyone, the emperor said that during his serious illness, Prince Yu handled the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. He should be rewarded. Princess Yu devoted herself to healing him and worked tirelessly. She should also be rewarded. The imperial edict and reward items will be sent to Yu later.
The palace, as for Prince Xi..."
When the words "Prince Xi" were mentioned, Leng Xi and Li Fei's hearts rose to their throats at the same time, and Yu Shiming also raised his ears and listened with a gloomy expression.
Leng Yu frowned, Leng Xi, the person who thinks about his death all the time, should get the lesson he deserves.
Liu Dechang's face was also ugly. He was looking forward to hearing from Liu Xi's ears the emperor's order to punish Leng Xi for treason.
Luo Lan's facial expression was very complicated at this time. She didn't know what kind of news would make her feel at ease. She felt that she was very conflicted at this time. Many times, she hated Leng Xi's cold-bloodedness, but when she thought of An An
, she also wanted Leng Xi to live well.
After Liu Xi looked at everyone in turn, he continued:
"Prince Xi led troops into the palace. It was really reckless. However, the emperor, out of his eagerness to save him, gave him a small punishment but a severe punishment. He was not allowed to enter the palace for five years, and his salary of Prince Xi's mansion was deducted for five years. If any
If you have objections, we will handle them according to the anti-edict. Prince Yu and Princess Yu will stay, and everyone else should step back!"
After saying this, Liu Xi nodded to Leng Yu and Luo Lan, "You two, the emperor has invited you."
The oral edict that Liu Xi just read out, although punishing Leng Xi, was much lighter than everyone expected.
At this time, Leng Xi's face became ugly.
Lengxi doesn't care about the five-year salary. Over the years, the fields and properties he has purchased outside are enough to support Prince Xi's palace for fifty years.
However, he was not allowed to enter the palace for these five years, which made Leng Xi's brows twist into a knot. This also meant that in these five years, he had zero chance of meeting the emperor. He would not be able to see the emperor. For him, this throne was...
It was an extravagant hope. It seemed that this time, he lost, completely.
But he still bowed and saluted,
"I would like to thank my father for his kindness. I will definitely remember my father's teachings and will not act recklessly in the future."
After leaving these words, he rolled his sleeves, turned around and left with a group of guards. When Yu Shiming saw this, he followed closely. After hesitating for a while, the ministers who had just come with Yu Shiming all
They all followed Yu Shiming's footsteps.
Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the emperor did not punish Leng Xi, everything would be possible.
She also took a few girls and left outside the Yangxin Hall.
Although Liu Dechang felt that the emperor's punishment to Leng Xi was too light, the matter was already at this point. He knew that it would be useless to say more, so he could only sigh, wave to the people around him, and everyone followed him and walked out of the palace together.
