Chapter 231: The Chicken Who Killed the Chicken and Worried the Monkey
Xie Yixiao was still a little unsure before he spoke, but after he finished speaking, he felt confident.
She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
In terms of personal relationships, Yue Qingshuang coveted Rong Ci, and used this method to almost bring shame to Rong Ci and ruin her future. She held a grudge in her heart, and it was right for her to chop them up a few times when she got the chance.
The royal family does not need a pure and kind princess who repays evil with kindness. The most important thing is to be merciful and soft-hearted when dealing with enemies, and she must be able to stand firm and take a long-term view.
In terms of justice, such a trend cannot last forever. It is best to kill one person to warn the world and prevent such things from happening.
Moreover, with her words, no one could find fault with her and say that she was seeking revenge, but instead felt that she had a long-term view and was thinking about the world and the court.
Yue Qingshuang's canthus was about to burst and her eyes were red: "Xie Yixiao, how dare you!"
Saying that, Yue Qingshuang wanted to stand up and rush towards her, but before she could stand up, she was held down by the guards in front of the palace and knelt down.
Xie Yixiao didn't even move. Yue Qingshuang looked pitiful, but she would not pity him at all. If Yue Qingshuang succeeded, she would no longer be pitiful, but she would be the one to be pitied.
"Why do Miss Yue look at me like this? I'm just talking about the matter." Xie Yi smiled lightly, "Even if you have resentment in your heart, it should be resentment that you yourself have done such a wrong thing."
"Since you have done something wrong, you deserve the punishment you deserve."
"Your Majesty, I second my opinion. Miss Xie's words are reasonable and this trend cannot last forever." Zuo Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up and said, "If we are not severely punished, anyone can do the same in the future."
"It is a serious crime to spread untrue rumors, incite people's emotions, and give people a bad reputation."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, please punish me severely and warn the world."
The emperor lowered his eyes and said after a long time: "What you all said is true. This trend cannot last long. If we spread false remarks, criticize and frame others without punishing them, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"The Yue family's crime cannot be pardoned, and the death penalty can be avoided. There is no way to escape. Since Miss Yue is the mastermind, and it is the Duke Rong's government who framed her, I will imprison her for three years because she is just a woman."
"Young master."
"I'm here." Yue Shaofu shivered, bowed his head and knelt on the ground.
The emperor said: "You are the young master and the prince's teacher. You should be a role model for all officials. You do not distinguish between right and wrong, and you allow your family and your daughter to frame others. You are not worthy of being a teacher."
"Because you have taught the prince for many years, I will not punish you. I will resign from my official position and go home."
The emperor wants to deprive Yue Shaofu of his official position.
Yue Shaofu's eyes widened, then he rolled his eyes and then fainted.
He originally thought that even if he was guilty, he was just guilty of lax discipline and failure to educate his daughter well. Considering that he had taught the prince for many years, he would probably give him a lesson and make him reflect.
After all, he is also a veteran who has followed His Majesty for many years, right?
But he didn't expect that the emperor would remove his official position and let him go home.
Go home?
Go home and eat your own?
A guard came up to help Mr. Yue down. Yue Qingshuang rushed over: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Let go of my father!"
"Your Majesty, my daughter has realized her mistake, and my father has also realized his mistake. Please have mercy on Your Majesty. My father has taught Your Highness for many years. He has worked hard for His Majesty and the country even though he has no merit. I beg Your Majesty!"
Yue Qingshuang was really scared this time.
Even if she is imprisoned, as long as the Yue family is still there, her father will still be the young master, and she also has a sister, the prince Liangdi. Even if she cannot be fished out, even if she is released in the future, she will not be able to get a good marriage.
, but the days in the future won’t be too hard.
But if her father loses his official position, the whole family will probably hate her to the core, let alone trying to find ways to get her out. Even if she gets out, they may not dare to go back.
Even if they go back, without the Young Master's Mansion, the Yue family is just an ordinary family. How will they live in the future?
Then anyone can come and step on her, laugh at her and bully her.
Yue Qingshuang was very scared, but it was a pity that she was a woman, how could she stop these guards in front of the palace.
Seeing that his father was being taken away, he had no choice but to turn around and kowtow desperately to the emperor on the throne: "Your Majesty, I beg you, I am responsible for each person's work, and there are thousands of mistakes. They are all my fault, and my father's fault."
It’s irrelevant.”
"My daughter is willing to die to apologize, and I beg your Majesty to take back your life."
"Your Majesty, please!"
She was in a mess, her hair was messy, and she looked crazy.
The emperor didn't look at her, but just ordered: "Take her also, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin."
"I'm here." Mr. Yin Nian of Jingzhao Mansion stood up and came out.
The emperor said: "This person will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion and will be imprisoned for three years without any reduction."
Mr. Nian raised his hands and accepted the order: "I accept the order."
A guard came forward and took Yue Qingshuang down. Yue Qingshuang refused to leave. She struggled desperately and kept shouting: "Your Majesty, please - please - spare my father -
—”
"His Majesty--"
Xie Yixiao felt that until Yue Qingshuang was escorted down, her screams could still be heard in his ears.
Xie Yixiao pressed her fingers on her cuffs and lowered her eyes. She felt a little complicated in her heart. If she hadn't gone astray on her own and refused to give up or repent, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment."
"I am here." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment came out.
The emperor said: "The speech of the people cannot be controlled, but if someone spreads false speech to slander and frame others, he should be severely punished. I order you to compile this law. If you violate it again in the future, you will be dealt with according to the law."
"I accept the decree."
The aloof emperor nodded lightly: "After today's business, let's dismiss the court."
With that said, he stood up and walked down from the throne.
The commander sang loudly: "Your Majesty, take off—"
All the ministers in the palace knelt on the ground and respectfully sent off the Holy Emperor: "I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
After the emperor led everyone away, and all the officials in the court were about to disperse, Mrs. Rong Guogong shouted: "Thank you, Miss."
Xie Yixiao came to his senses, then walked up and saluted: "I have met Mrs. Rong Guogong, I have met Mrs. Cao Guogong."
Mrs. Rong Guogong took her hand and patted it: "I will take you back in a while, but are you afraid?"
Xie Yi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not afraid. It's just my first time to come to Tai Chi Hall, so I'm a little nervous."
When the emperor just asked the Ministry of Punishments to add this law, she was a little lost. She wondered if the Yue family was the chicken that was killed to scare the monkeys.
People's opinions cannot be stopped by blocking them, but many of them are not at great risk of harm. After a few days, something new will happen and it will be over.
But the bad thing is that some people use these remarks to spread untrue rumors to criticize and frame others and ruin their reputations to achieve their own goals.
There were often such remarks and rumors in the past, but the matter was not serious and it was not easy to punish them.
But this time it happened to involve Duke Rong's palace and the heir to Prince Ding's palace, so the Yue family was brought out, became the chicken, and was sacrificed to the flag.
