1376 Silly Empress 8
After a while, King Duan bowed to the ground and saluted: "I punish you, and I accept the punishment."
Isn't it just that piece of broken land, plus a year's salary. This punishment sounds quite heavy, but he's committed even more.
Since you will not go to prison on the spot, you will not be beheaded. And you cannot ask the swordsman to come in. In this way, the charge of regicide usurping the throne will be confirmed.
After retreating, I will find a way. Anyway, I have my own soldiers outside, so there is still a way to do it within half a day.
"Yeah~" Xining nodded as if satisfied. In fact, she guessed that as long as she didn't force Duan to death, she should still be slow.
Old Man Weng was not satisfied and stretched out his old face: "I resisted the order and broke into the palace at night. This punishment was known to the vassal states, and I will not imitate it in the future."
"Weng Aiqing, be careful in words and actions!" Xining's voice became stiff: "If I hadn't been really confused this time, King Duan wouldn't have entered the capital. Could it be that I was confused every time, and my younger brothers and sisters were like this again and again?"
The empress was imposing and sat in the court with a loud voice, making Old Man Weng speechless.
I used to be confused every time, but I dare not do anything about leading troops into the capital easily. It was a rebellion or a rebellion.
Then Xining ignored Old Man Weng and sat upright and said, "If you make mistakes, you should be punished, and if you make merits, you should be rewarded. King Duan protected the emperor and now rewarded a thousand taels of silver, enfeoffed Xinyang and the west of Han to show his praise!"
Now King Duan was stunned again, then understood something, and immediately became overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him.
"Please get up with the emperor!" This time the empress gave the king enough face. It seemed that there were punishments and rewards, but it was obvious that the rewards were greater than punishments.
Xining continued to shut up everyone's mouth: "I agree to this matter, so it is not considered a resistance to the order."
The empress has already said that this is her own idea. Not to mention that King Duan leads troops into the palace, even if he runs in the palace, he will at most say it is unconventional.
"I don't know!" Censor Weng could only salute King Duan: "I have offended King Duan, please forgive me."
This means surrendering and no longer watching. King Duan is also willing to be a good person: "If you don't know, you are not guilty. If you have no offense, how can you forgive me? You and I are all for Your Majesty. Please don't be too polite to ask the Censor Weng!"
He was neither soft nor hard, and the Imperial Secretary Weng saluted again and praised: "There are many Lord Duan, so I am ashamed."
"Oh~" Xining also quickly lowered the ladder to the steps: "Civil Weng is a pillar of the country. He has always been honest and warned me many times that the emperor's brother was unfair. He thought that the emperor's brother was the eldest brother, so who dared to neglect? Now it seems that it was me who missed it, and I was also wrong."
Everyone knelt down and shouted: "The Lord is wise!"
Xining smiled and said, "Please get up!"
After the ministers got up, they coaxed him: "I am deeply relieved to have loyal ministers such as Duan and Censor Weng." This time, I had just washed away the incident last night, and my life was saved again.
Mo Ming: "Hmph, weak and incompetent."
Tell, is it possible that King Duan really cut off one step at a time? You know, there are still many people outside, and the guards in the palace can't stop so many people at all. When they really fight, how many chances of winning are there? You can only stabilize first!
In order to cover up people's eyes, this scene will continue.
Next, Xining said two things.
The first thing is that the head of the face has been beheaded and its head is hung on the city gate for three days. The clan does not kill, but only exils, and all the property in the family is included in the national treasury.
The second thing is that during the mourning period of King Duan, he went to Beijing to visit the tombs and worship his ancestors every winter solstice, and was ambushed and chased.
Xining issued an order: "The assassination of the imperial heir is hard tolerate. The Tingwei Mansion will find out this matter within ten days, and there must be no mistakes. If the deadline is exceeded, severe punishment will not be made."
The Tingwei and the Censor Central Chief kneeled down to take the order, stood up and looked at each other, and had reached an agreement with each other.
Check it, what a fool! Everyone knows that the assassination was secretly agreed by the empress.
It is also limited to ten days. Needless to say, all the sins are pushed to the head of that person, and then a few death row prisoners will be used as testimony to make up for the number. After the failure is paid, the case will be settled.
If you still can’t figure it out, don’t mess around in the court.
Finally, the matter was smoothed out, and Xining couldn't feel relieved.
After going down to court, I immediately prepared lunch and asked King Duan to come to see him.
King Duan has changed into casual clothes, dark red inside and black wide-sleeved coat, looking at aura and calm.
Seeing the empress wearing a long skirt with her collar, long robe, and a big belt on her waist, she was dressed in an ordinary noble girl, elegant and without any worries. She only had a dragon and phoenix-playing pearl hairpin on her bun, which was different from the rest.
Both of them dressed up in a regular dress at the banquet and smiled at each other.
After sitting down, Xining smiled and said with a smile: "Although Xinyang is a small land, the hometown of Concubine Lin. Xinyang is poor, the western part of Han is large, and the resources are rich. After the emperor's visit this time, he can rely on the western part of Han to seek some welfare for the people of Xinyang."
King Duan had long guessed this layer and immediately raised his jar: "I thank Your Majesty for the people of Xinyang."
Xining did not push it away, picked up the wine bottle and drank the next cup with Duanwang.
The palace maid immediately stepped forward to pour wine.
From life to death to sit together, drinking and eating now, it is a qualitative leap. Xining couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Ming: "I got it by surrendering. Why don't you give up the throne?"
Alas, this is a good idea. After giving it up, you can get a better fiefdom and live a comfortable life. Isn’t it great if you let it go?
Thinking of this, Xining began to complain: "Brother, there is no one else here. Actually, you don't know that this dragon throne is not that easy to sit on. Every year, either drought or flooding here. There may be insect storms in spring and autumn, and snow storms in winter. There are foreign enemies on all sides and a son of ministers, who say every day that this king intends to rebel, and that king stations troops and recruits visitors."
He picked up the wine and drank another glass, full of bitter resentment: "My father likes extravagance, the national treasury is empty, and the funds for disaster relief are nine out of ten. I am always overwhelmed, and some people ask me to beware of the princes everywhere. They are my younger brothers and sisters. What should you do if you call me?"
Speaking of this, I picked up the wine bottle again.
A powerful hand grabbed her hand.
Xining looked over with her slightly drunk eyes and saw a pair of eyes that looked like the owner.
King Duan took the wine bottle from her hand: "More wine can hurt your body, Your Majesty, drink less and eat some food."
"Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Xining picked up the chopsticks and picked up one and cut the mutton into pieces.
In this era, the types of dishes were not too large and the supplies were not abundant. Most of the dishes were cooked and roasted, but fried and fried had not yet been invented.
However, the chef is very skillful in knife skills, and the mutton slices are extremely thin and are very tender.
King Duan also picked up the chopsticks and ate: "The mutton in Beijing is indeed very good."
King Duan took the wine bottle from her hand: "More wine can harm your body, Your Majesty, drink less and eat some vegetables." "Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Xining picked up the chopsticks and picked up one chopstick to cut the mutton into pieces.
Chapter completed!
