After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 280 What does His Majesty mean?
Inside the imperial study.

Prince Dun Lisu, Shangshu Yuanzhi of the Ministry of Justice, and Dali Temple Minister Changxia stood quietly in the hall, no one made a sound, and the only sound in the imperial study was the sound of Emperor Yongjia flipping papers.

After a long time, Emperor Yongjia put down the things at hand, looked up at the three people below, and asked, "Have you found out everything? Did you miss anything?"

Li Su came out and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, I have checked thoroughly and nothing was missed."

Emperor Yongjia nodded, he can rest assured that he will handle things seriously.

After a while, he finally asked the most crucial question: "Then tell me, how should I deal with these people."

The hall fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke.

Emperor Yongjia: "Prince Dun, you are the presiding judge of this case, you should speak first."

Sternly said: "The minister believes that it should be handled impartially, and punishment should be carried out according to the laws of Daxia according to the severity of the crime."

Li Su's temperament has always been fair, and Emperor Yongjia also expected to be able to say these words. He nodded and turned his head to ask Yuan Zhi's opinion, when Li Su suddenly spoke again: "However, Your Majesty, I personally I want to plead for the teacher."

Yongjia turned back in surprise, thought for a while, and remembered that Mrs. He was indeed Li Su's teacher and taught him for a while.

Li Su continued: "Teacher He taught me for a period of time when I was young, and I have received his kindness as a teacher. As a student, I would like to ask His Majesty to forgive me out of emotion and reason."

Yuan Zhi stood up in a timely manner and added: "Your Majesty, Taifu He didn't know about this matter at first, and later he found out what He Yuanwei did by accident, and later concealed it out of love for his son. It is human nature, and Taifu He did make amends after discovering the fraud in the imperial examination, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive He Taifu for the sake of these."

Emperor Yongjia was silent for a while, then turned to the last person present and asked, "Chang Xia, what do you think?"

Chang Xia: "I naturally support Taifu He to be lenient, but..."

Chang Xia paused, and Emperor Yongjia asked, "But what?"

"But if the court does this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the scholars of the world." Chang Xia looked up at Emperor Yongjia, thought for a moment, and then said: "After all, everyone knows about this matter now. Your Majesty is very concerned about this. The result of the handling of the incident is not only watched by the students in the capital, but also by the students in the south of the Yangtze River, and the students all over the world."

What Chang Xia said was not the concerns of Emperor Yongjia. He really wanted to forgive He Taifu, but the current situation is no different from putting him, the emperor, on fire. Everyone in the world is staring at him. Accidentally, the title of "faint king" will be buckled on his head.

"Then how do you think this matter should be handled?" Emperor Yongjia asked.

"I believe that according to this investigation, the imperial examinations have accumulated frauds for a long time. Among them, seductiveness is rampant, chaos is cluttered, and tricks emerge in endlessly, and random thinking can only be cured by heavy codes. Your Majesty should use thunderbolts to crack down on cheating. Only by changing the atmosphere can the hearts of scholars in the world not be chilled."

Chang Xia paused for a moment before finally giving a conclusion: "So, I think that Taifu He should be killed! At the same time, he has to be killed!"

Emperor Yongjia was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was his own minister, and on the other hand, he was the heart of scholars in the world.

The imperial study room fell silent for a while, and suddenly, Wang Yan came in and whispered something to Emperor Yongjia. Emperor Yongjia rubbed his aching temple, waved to the three people below, and said: " Let me think about this matter again, you should step back first."

The three of them responded and withdrew as they said.

Yuan Zhi came out from the imperial study room, caught up with Li Su a few steps, and asked, "My lord, do you think, will your majesty spare Mrs. He?"

Li Su kept walking and said, "It's hard to say."

Yuan Zhi followed Li Su, recalled the reaction of Emperor Yongjia in the imperial study for a moment, and thought: "I think His Majesty seems to want to forgive, but I'm afraid it's not easy to make a decision."

Li Su raised his eyes to look at the majestic palace in front of him, and continued to walk outside the palace without saying a word.

When he was about to leave the palace gate, suddenly a horse galloped in the distance, and went straight into the palace gate with a whimper, and went into the deep palace.

Yuan Zhi was choked by the smoke and dust brought up by the horse running past, coughed twice, and then turned around and said: "Who is so arrogant and dares to ride a horse in the palace? The imperial army doesn't care?"

There is a rule in the Forbidden Palace that everyone must get off their horses and enter on foot when entering the palace.

Li Su also turned his head to look at the distant figure.

Yuan Zhi brushed off the dust on his sleeves, walked a few steps, and just reached the gate of the palace to ask questions, suddenly, a group of forbidden soldiers came running towards him, Yuan Zhi was unprepared, and was almost knocked down by the group of forbidden soldiers with knives. land.

"Quick, quick, stop him, stop him!"

A group of people ran towards the inner palace at high speed, obviously chasing the person just now.

Yuan Zhi stood firm and grabbed a forbidden soldier casually: "Who was that person who rode in just now?"

The imperial guard was very anxious, seeing someone holding him back, he wanted to put him aside, but suddenly saw that it was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he stopped his gestures and replied: "It's the King of the East Sea, the King of the East Sea has entered."

Yuan Zhi was startled, and let go of his hand: "The king of the East China Sea? Why did he return to Beijing?"

Seeing that he let go of his hand, the imperial guards didn't have time to explain to him, so they hurriedly rushed in and disappeared after a while.

Yuan Zhi looked at Li Su and asked, "My lord, do you know about the return of the King of the East China Sea?"

Li Su shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yuan Zhi lowered his head and pondered: "That's strange? Why did he return to Beijing well? And once he returned to Beijing, he was so public, as if he was afraid that others would not know," suddenly he seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked up at Li Su: "Your Majesty?"

Li Su nodded: "It should be."

Yuan Zhi: "But what did His Majesty tell him to come back? Did he forgive him?"

Li Su shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Seeing the expression on his face, Yuan Zhi obviously didn't care much about this matter. Yuan Zhi changed his mind and understood that Li Su was the youngest son of the first emperor and the youngest brother of Emperor Yongjia. He had a high status in the royal family, But he is no longer destined for the throne, and it is only natural that he doesn't care about it.

So one of them was full of thoughts, and the other was expressionless, they got into their own carriages at the gate of the palace and left separately.
