Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

The emperor had a far-reaching gaze and looked out the door, seemingly thoughtful and sighing.

“That’s right, as a parent, you are willing to endure and sacrifice anything for your children.”

Xie Suzhi lifted his robe and knelt down. The emperor was shocked: "Xie Aiqing, what are you doing?"

Xie Suzhi lowered his head, his voice was cold but firm and powerful.

“The second brother is in a physical condition and the younger brother and sister have made mistakes. As the eldest brother, I am willing to take the punishment on my behalf and ask the emperor to punish me.”

At this time, the civil and military officials began to discuss noisily, and everyone had different opinions -

“Prime Minister, this matter is not your fault, why are you doing this?”

“Hey, it’s hard for you too if something like this happens at home.”

“But if the witchcraft involves our general, we still have to give an explanation.”

 Zhongshu Ling Master Qi heard it and frowned slightly.

With this direction, why did he quickly switch sides to Xie Suzhi?

 The emperor thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, a small punishment but a big warning."

"Your brother and sister are indeed at fault, and for their own selfish desires, they used such vicious methods. I can't justify it even if I don't punish them."

"I will punish her to three months of self-reflection in prison. During this period, your family will not be allowed to visit, and she will also be asked to remember the lesson."

"As for you, I will also fine you a salary of three months." The emperor looked at Xie Suzhi.

Xie Suzhi kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

Mr. Qi was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, is this punishment too light?"

　　The emperor glanced over: "What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"

“Qi Aiqing, do you have any daughters at home? If you were the second master of the Xie family, what would you do?”

Mr. Qi argued with reason: "If my wife commits witchcraft, I will only teach her a lesson and set an example for my daughter. Never imitate her mother!"

“Your Majesty, if this matter is not severely punished and outsiders follow suit, how will you calm down the chaotic situation?”

Taifu Ye snorted coldly and stood up to refute Mr. Qi.

"Qi Zhongshu, what you said is wrong. The emperor is both strong and soft. He not only punished the Xie family, but also showed mercy."

“After all, at Prime Minister Xie’s house, the eldest son is leading troops to resist the enemy. The second son is working diligently day and night at Dali Temple. It is said that before Mr. Xie was paralyzed, he had made great military achievements and was famous far and wide.”

"If the emperor only cares about punishment and does not remember the past achievements, wouldn't it make the world feel cold?"

Mr. Qi gritted his teeth. This old man came out to contradict his words again.

Ever since Ye Changyi was punished by Concubine Rong and almost froze to death in the Zhaori Tower, Taifu Ye has been pressing **** his family.

 The two people have different political opinions, just like the point of a needle against a wheat awn.

Mr. Qi couldn't make sense to Taifu Ye, so he turned his hands and looked at the emperor sincerely.

"Your Majesty! Compassion does not lead to troops, and emotion does not establish affairs. If you think about showing mercy in everything, how can you intimidate the officials and people below?"

 The emperor stood up from the throne with a smile and pointed to his seat.

“Qi Aiqing, what you said is really good. How about I take this seat for you?”

Master Qi turned pale and hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare."

 The emperor's expression changed drastically, he became livid and angry, and he waved the memorial on the table with one palm.

“I have already made a conclusion, but if you still insist on it, what peace of mind do you have?”

Mr. Qi cupped his hands and spoke bitterly about his loyalty: "I am just speaking out and impartially. I am eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor. The witchcraft curses loyalty. If this matter is not handled properly, how can the soldiers on the border charge into battle without regrets? "

"Speak impartially? I think you are avenging a private vendetta! In the early years, Prime Minister Xie impeached you for allowing your subordinates to seize civilian girls. I demoted you to the first level of officialdom, and you will remember it until now."

Mr. Qi's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty, I am wronged."

The emperor was too lazy to talk nonsense: "I have already punished the Xie family. If you continue to pester, it will be in vain, let alone ignorant."

"Besides, if Qi Aiqing really wants to deal with it fairly, he should think carefully about how to deal with your sister's fault!"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qi was trembling all over.

 His sister? Concubine Rong? What mistake did Concubine Rong make?

 The emperor asked the **** to hand the two secret letters from last night to Mr. Qi. "I originally wanted to save your Qi family, but you insist on being serious with me. In this case, you should take a good look at it yourself!"

Mr. Qi looked pale after reading the two secret letters, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

The emperor's face was full of anger and he ordered the eunuch: "Go and read it to all the civil and military officials."

 The **** quickly retrieved the letter from Mr. Qi.

“After investigation, the last time the eldest daughter of the Ye family accidentally lost the Buddhist scriptures copied by the Ninth Prince while she was in the palace, she stole it for the sake of Concubine Rong’s palace guards, just to blame the eldest daughter Ye.”

The ministers were in an uproar, and Taifu Ye stared in shock and anger, his white beard rising and falling.

"What?!"

Another secret letter is the testimony of the palace maid named Jin Deng who finally confessed after being tortured.

She refused to admit that she was ordered by Concubine Rong.

He only said that he was upset by Ye Changyi once, so he held a grudge.

The secret letter also said that during the interrogation of other palace officials, it was discovered that Concubine Rong was aware of what Jin Deng was doing.

The emperor said with a gloomy face: "I might as well tell you that the reason why I came late this morning was to question Concubine Rong."

"She has always been kind and generous, how could she indulge the palace maid below and do such a thing? But Concubine Rong said that Jin Deng had served her for many years. She made mistakes, but she also had hard work."

"She begged me to spare Jin Deng's life. Qi Aiqing, tell me, should I kill this palace maid? If I kill her, will I punish Concubine Rong who knew the truth and refused to report it?"

Mr. Qi was already covered in cold sweat, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless.

 “Chen, minister…”

"Say, why don't you say it? Aren't you arguing hard and insisting on giving me harsh consequences for everything? Why don't you dare to say anything when it's your sister's turn!" Emperor Long Wei was furious.

All the ministers hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Mr. Qi also knelt on the ground, trembling.

 He does not have the courage of Xie Suzhi to put his younger brothers and sisters in prison.

Mr. Qi just wanted to protect his sister Concubine Rong, let alone ask the emperor to punish her.

The emperor's tone was faint: "I have demoted Concubine Rong to concubine Rong, and given the dead palace maid a brocade lantern. Do you think that is enough?"

Master Qi finally kowtowed, cold sweat dripping on the blue stone bricks.

 “I, my ministers, are at the mercy of the emperor.”

 The morning court ended like this.

 When Taifu Ye passed by the distracted Master Qi, he snorted heavily.

“Master Rongbi, you are really compassionate, but only for your own people.” Taifu Ye threw up his sleeves and left.

Xie Suzhi was also about to leave, but was stopped by Mr. Qi.

Lord Qi looked ferocious: "Prime Minister Xie, you already knew that I was going to report you in court this morning, right? That secret letter was also written by you!"

　　"You are so thoughtful. I ask myself that I have never offended you, so why do you insist on insisting on it?"

Xie Suzhi's thin eyes were deep and deep, and the way he looked at him was as calm as looking at a tree.

 “You are overthinking, you are not that important and worthy of the truth to deal with you personally.”

With that said, he walked away in a hurry, making Mr. Qi almost jump in anger.

But Xie Suzhi didn't lie. It was really not him who found out about Concubine Rong.

 It is Xie Mingan.

At this time, news came from the palace's informant, and Xie Mingan proudly went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, waiting for Shen Ningning to finish class.

As soon as he saw the little guy coming out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he couldn't wait to step forward and share the news with her.

And raised his eyebrows, his thin lips curved into a cold smile: "I said, as long as I want to find out anything, I can find out."

"How about it, now you believe what I say, who is more powerful between me and my eldest brother?"

Today I will no longer be a small writer, but today I will be the darling of the universe, because it’s my birthday! Hehe, I look forward to eating cake this time of year! Share my happiness today with all the treasures~ By the way, keep it dear, bobo, one for each of you, don’t grab it.
