The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

"I heard--"

Yuexi spoke in this way, as if she wanted to arouse Fengqi's sense of responsibility.

"The boy was flogged."

Now that there is no such thing as excessive punishment in the country, the juvenile deserves what he deserves.

Yuexi didn't want to speak too bluntly, and he felt that he should trust Pengshangong's wisdom.

Feng Qi didn't even look at him, just nodded lightly.

"Yes. I was still in a coma at the time. I heard that in order not to leave me, he took the initiative to choose three hundred canes instead of hard labor for one year."

"In terms of murder, the punishment is not heavy."

Yuexi has no choice but to point out this point.

However, Feng Qi seemed to be waiting for him to say this.

"Master Yuexi, do you know who the deceased is?"

This time, Feng Qi faced Yue Xi's face directly, and slowly spit out the words.

"I, have heard about Lord Yuexi since I was born. Maybe it's not appropriate to say that, but I don't think that kind of behavior is 'regicide'..."

Yue Xi sat there in disbelief, losing any ability to speak or move.

In my imagination, in the wild fantasy that lasted for decades, at most I got the approval of Pengshan Gong, and I heard Qilin leaning down in front of me and saying the oath...

I knew I shouldn't have thought about it, but I thought about it anyway.

Yuexi has always been like this, measuring himself by the standard of a monarch who truly bears the mandate of heaven.

However, what is obtained now is more absurd than imagined.

As Pengshan Gong, he said such deviant words.

"If it is said that the tyranny of the former Wang Zhongta, which was called integrity but was actually violent, can be regarded as conforming to the destiny, I would like to say that Lord Yuexi's behavior of suspending this 'destiny' is really admirable."

Saying that, Feng Qi stood up and bowed to Yuexi.

It's just ordinary etiquette, but the attitude is full of respect.

Yuexi hurriedly stood up.

"Grandpa, don't do this..."

"but……"

With these two words, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Feng Qi straightened his body, his eyes seemed to be covered with frost.

"Only based on a few words you heard, you can confirm that a person is guilty. What is the difference between this kind of master Yuexi and Zhongta?"

The former Wang Zhongta, who was beheaded by Yuexi's army, was said to be a paranoid person who demanded the integrity of the people.

It took only a few years to go from being sentenced to death for stealing a small amount of property to being punished for telling a joke on an inappropriate occasion.

And Zhongtar claimed that this was for the establishment of a noble country.

On the first day of deciding to be the king, Yuexi ordered the temporary abolition of the death penalty, which comforted the panic-stricken people and allowed them to live freely.

But now it is being blamed.

"I think I can understand how you feel..." Yuexi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This young man has precious loyalty..."

"The deceased was a bandit."

Feng Qi answered so simply.

The answer seemed to be inconsistent with what Yuexi said, but both of them fell silent.After a while, Feng Qi opened his mouth to continue.

"In the mountains near here, there are bandits' lairs. There were not many people at first, but later everyone discovered that farming alone cannot provide enough food and clothing, so young and strong villagers go to the mountains every month.

"The Saburo who died was a newcomer.

"At that time he was still beating the villagers."

Yuexi's expression changed when she heard the first sentence, but she still listened to Fengqi's words quietly before sighing.

"I see... this is my negligence, and the public's accusation is completely correct."

It was thought that after the people have recuperated, they would maintain a stable life, but so far it seems that this is not the case.

There are thieves in the country, which is a shame to the king.Yuexi fully accepts this point.

"What do you mean, the young man accidentally killed someone in order to help the villagers?"

Feng Qi shook his head heavily.

"He didn't kill people.

"Among the villagers present, someone finally told the truth. The bandit died accidentally because the horse was frightened. They saw everything but dared not tell.

"Because no one has reported that there are bandits here.

"Except for the bandits who died, the villagers who were killed also need someone to take responsibility.

"It just so happened that a mountain guest boy who didn't understand the language came.

"He didn't know the people here, and he had no obligation to help them, but he did it anyway.

"And then he's charged with all the crimes.

"Now, Master Yuexi still thinks that you are just 'negligent'?"

Yuexi stood stiffly, not responding to the successive questions.

It was originally thought that it was only the willfulness of the underage Pengshan Gong that caused the turmoil, but in the end it turned into exposing his ineffective governance.

It can only be said that fortunately the death penalty was abolished, so that the wronged teenager was not reduced to the most miserable situation.

But on the other hand, because there is no deterrence of severe punishment, people are becoming more and more indifferent to crime.What should we do with such a contradiction?

I am really not qualified for this throne, am I?

While feeling mixed, I saw Feng Qi making an even more unusual move.

The young Pengshan Gong went straight to Yuexi and knelt down on both knees.

As if seeing a strong light, Yuexi's pupils suddenly shrank.

It is obviously a sacred ceremony, but it has to be performed in such an inexplicable place...?

Feng Qi bent down, holding the ground in front of him with both hands, trying to put his forehead close to the opponent's feet.

"Ah, this..."

The outstretched hand of Yuexi stagnated in the air, only about an inch away from Fengqi's shoulder.

Because there is no real prostration.When he was two feet away from the ground, Feng Qi had already stopped, which seemed to take all his strength.

"Sorry……"

It was very sad to maintain such a posture, but Feng Qi had no intention of getting up, and still lowered his head and said.

"I really thought about it, it would be great if Master Yuexi was really a king... Everything is not impossible, even if there are unsatisfactory places, I can serve as eyes and ears for the king, and assist the king wholeheartedly... …

"Compared to choosing someone who doesn't know the details as king, I still prefer Master Yuexi in my heart.

"I have always admired you, even if I said such harsh words just now, it is...

"Unfortunately, the ceremony cannot continue."

When the young Qilin spit out these inner confessions, Yuexi's expression returned to normal.His hand touched Feng Qi's shoulder, and he resolutely helped that body up.

"My lord is too worried...

"To get such recognition from the public, I have nothing else to ask for."

Feng Qi sighed in bewilderment.

"If it wasn't for Master Yuexi, I really..."
