Chapter 78
At this time, the emperor's eldest grandson Luezheng in the Yizheng Palace was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.

Bai Xingduan, Minister of Dali Temple, was the presiding judge of King Gui's case, but he couldn't put forward any opinions. He either followed Luo Wang or Rong Guogong.

Both Luo Wang and Rong Guogong advocated strict punishment.

In particular, Xu Huaishan, Duke of Rongguo, even prepared a strategic map, and confidently stroked his snow-white beard and said that if anyone refused to accept, he would be the first to conquer with a handsome soldier.

To put it lightly, Xu Huaishan is almost seventy, how can he still be moved?
It's nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to grab more military power in his hands, and then win over more forces.

King Luo was much more modest. He didn't want to fight, but he wanted to get to the bottom of King Gui's past crimes and eradicate his henchmen.

Changsun Lue also thought so, but the current situation does not allow it. If he wants to pursue and fight fiercely, he will inevitably provoke war.

The invasion of Beidi last year had already consumed a lot of national power. Now if dozens of princes and princes rebel at the same time, the Daxuan Dynasty may be destroyed in one fell swoop.

What annoyed him the most was that at the critical moment, Yi Zhonglun, the prime minister whom he personally promoted, actually laughed.

Several other ministers even imitated Yi Zhonglun.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, only Luo Wang and Rong Guogong are constantly fighting.

The business was not handled well, and Rong Guogong's daughter Xu Rongrong came to Qinzheng Palace to make trouble.

After seeing it, the servant reported back that Shangguanyuan and his wife were also outside, and then someone came to report that the queen had also arrived, and the guard was still carrying the injured Xu Youcai.

Anyway, the military and state affairs could not be discussed, so Changsun Lue had no choice but to let the irrelevant people step down and deal with the matter outside the hall first.

Xu Rongrong was extremely arrogant in Fengzao Palace, but now in Qinzheng Palace, she pretended to be weak and innocent, crying and complaining that Shangguan Yuan bullied others.

Rong Guogong was very angry when he saw that his son and daughter had been beaten. He justly demanded that his eldest grandson be severely punished.

Qianru refused, and wanted to explain the reason aggrieved, but was blocked by Shangguanyuan.

"I report to the emperor that I beat you. But before receiving the punishment, I want to say a few words to Duke Rong and Prime Minister Yi." Shangguan Yuan hurried forward and grabbed Duke Rong by the collar, " I don't care how domineering your daughter of Rong Guogong's son is, in short, bullying my wife, this is the end!"

Rong Guogong was not to be outdone, and used court etiquette to suppress him coldly.

"Boy, this is the Hall of Qinzheng, the imperial court, you have no eyes on the emperor, you despise the superiors, you have no eyes on the court!"

"let go!"

The emperor ordered, Shangguan Yuan had to let go.

But no one expected that as soon as he let go of his hand, he hooked out a leg and tripped Duke Rong.

After all, he is nearly seventy years old and his body is failing.

With this slight fall, Duke Rong's leg was trembling with pain.

The eldest grandson looked secretly, but he had no choice but to sternly reprimand Shangguan Yuan.

"Shangguan Yuan, how dare you act foolishly in front of me, I must punish you well today!"

However, before the punishment of eighty court sticks came out, Shangguan Yuan actually overthrew Yi Zhonglun, angrily urging him to take good care of his wife.

So arrogant!

Changsun Lue originally wanted to protect him, but he didn't expect that he tripped the Duke first and then the prime minister in front of the emperor himself.

This kind of behavior is hard to convince people without heavy punishment!

But the punishment was too heavy, and he was reluctant to part with it, after all, in this court, there were very few people who dared to go head-to-head with Rong Guogong like this.

So, another forty court rods were added to him.

Shen Hou understood the emperor's thoughts, and hurriedly took the blame on herself.

"Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yongzhonghou had a dispute in Fengzao Palace. It was the concubine who mishandled Mrs. Xu and injured Mrs. Yongzhonghou. This caused a misunderstanding."

Xiuhe is also a witty person, when she knelt down, she was aggrieved and cried:
"I can't blame the empress for this matter, Madam Xu didn't listen to the order of the empress, and privately sent someone to invite Yongzhonghou and his brother, Mr. Xu, to Fengzao Palace, which caused a misunderstanding."

How could Xu Rongrong be willing to pour her heart water on herself?

Quickly defended: "The concubine is just arguing with Mrs. An, she can't think about it. If people don't want to talk about it, she can't do anything about it. It's a fact that she seduced men in the Goulan courtyard and stole the limelight. Marquis Yongzhong didn't know right from wrong, and used his power to bully others. It is also a fact. Please judge clearly!"

"Since there is a punishment, Mrs. Xu should be the first to be punished." Xiuhe said, covering the wound on her face, "Mrs. Xu is arrogant and arrogant. She doesn't pay attention to the empress at all. Beating Mrs. Yongzhonghou in the face of the empress, the palm prints on the faces of the servants are the evidence."

"It really should be beaten!" Changsun Lue angrily called the guards to come in, dragged Xu Rongrong down and beat him 120 sticks.

How can a woman bear 120 rods?

Rong Guogong hurriedly interceded for his daughter.

"Offend the empress, despise the dignity of the royal family, teach the crown prince indiscriminately, bring trouble to the government, and be executed with the stick. Mr. Rong Guo, you are not strict with your daughters, and dare to intercede? Do you think that Ling Ai's actions are justified?"

Rong Guogong had no choice but to swallow his anger, and begged his eldest grandson to be punished lightly because he was too old to bear the pain of losing his daughter.

After all, Lao Taishan held his own handle, so even though he didn't want to help to intercede, Yi Zhonglun stood up and asked for half of the cane punishment.

Seeing that this method is very clever, Rong Guogong also asked for twenty sticks to be punished.

The matter of King Gui is over, how can Changsun Lue beat Rong Guogong again to cause trouble for himself?
Yi Zhonglun is also a frail scholar. He received sixty sticks, so he might not be able to go to court for a few days.

In the current state affairs, he still has a lot of places to use this think tank.

One can't hit, and the other can't hit again, what should I do?
Qianru saw the eldest grandson's hesitation, and at this moment she had a plan in mind, so she knelt forward aggrievedly, "If anyone makes a mistake, they can ask their family members to help them to be punished, so what is the majesty of the national law? "

"Bitch!"

Xu Rongrong saw that An Qianru was about to put herself to death, and wanted to rush to beat her like crazy, but was stopped by the guards.

Qianru saw that she couldn't control her crazy appearance, and she enjoyed it very much, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still had to ask for it against her will.

"My concubine's words are not intended to avenge her personal revenge. It's just that Rong Guogong and Prime Minister Yi are the pillars of the country and cannot be seriously injured. The strict national law, in addition to punishing evil and promoting good, is more about educating the wicked so that people can correct their mistakes. Killing. Therefore, I have the courage to plead for Mrs. Xu, hoping that the emperor will punish the 120 sticks separately, and hit ten or twenty sticks every ten days."

It is very embarrassing to be punished once, and it will last for several months. How can Xu Rongrong endure this grievance?
She thought that King Gui had fallen, and with her own status, she would be comparable to the relatives of the emperor, but she didn't expect that the reality was far from what she imagined.

After all, Dad's power is not strong enough!
In order to save her life and take revenge, she had no choice but to endure it.

The only thing that comforted her was that Shangguan Yuan also suffered 120 sticks for this incident.

It's just that Changsun Lue adopted An Qianru's suggestion, and then used this method on Shangguan Yuan.

It was a trivial matter at first, but now it is a big loss for my family, after all, my brother was seriously injured by Shangguan Yuan.

But with such a big loss, she had to eat it if she didn't want to.

And this is exactly what Qianru wanted.

With the current situation in the Great Xuan Dynasty, Shangguan Yuan has many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Maybe one day he will pay off his meritorious deeds, and he will be spared the stick that has not been beaten in the future.

She secretly glanced at Shangguan Yuan secretly, sighing secretly that the fate is really wonderful, she never thought that she would be singing with Shangguan Yuan's husband in Qinzheng Hall.

It's just that this incident really blew Duke Rong up.

Plucking the hair from the tiger's mouth in a grand manner will cause endless troubles!
