As soon as Jiang Jingyun's words came out, the originally noisy hall fell silent instantly. The old guys who had the most quarrel before all lowered their heads and pretended to be quails. The eyes under the eyelashes were quietly dissatisfied.

"Since you're all done talking, let me talk about it instead." Jiang Jingyun withdrew his gaze, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and casually brushed off the wrist guard in his hand, and said calmly.

"My king heard about the flood in Yongzhou on the way back to Beijing half a month ago, so I asked you to come forward to support me. I stayed in Yongzhou for half a month. I saw the prince's heart and soul, and often slept late at night because of the flood control and evacuation of the people. The common people share weal and woe, without the prestige of a prince. Has such a demeanor ever lost its virtue?"

"Furthermore, that batch of disaster funds." Jiang Jingyun paused, sneered, and squinted at Xie Chen on the left, "It only takes half a month's journey from the capital to Yongzhou, and besides, it takes longer for the third prince to escort the disaster funds and set off." This king will have to wait a few days earlier. Why is it that this king has arrived, but the third prince has come late?"

"Are you tying your feet and taking small steps?"

"You──!" Xie Chen, who was named, stood up angrily, glared at each other, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but after seeing Emperor Tai'an's gloomy complexion, he could only shut his mouth resentfully, full of anger I burned myself through.

"That batch of disaster funds, not to mention the prince, not even the king."

"Jiang Qing." Emperor Tai'an, who had been silent all this time, interrupted Jiang Jingyun's words abruptly. He leaned forward slightly on the back of the chair, and looked at him deeply, "Be careful."

"Jiang Qing and the crown prince had a teacher-student friendship, Jiang Qing's words, I really can't believe it."

Emperor Tai'an clicked his tongue, tapped the handle of the faucet intermittently with his fingertips, and said: "Furthermore, if there is only one person who accuses the crown prince of embezzlement, Guzi would not believe it. But now it is not just one person, but the entire Yongzhou people. If Jiang Qing doesn't believe it, you might as well go outside the city gate to see that hundreds of people are crying and calling for justice."

"If it were Jiang Qing, you might pretend not to see it?"

Jiang Jingyun raised his eyes to meet Emperor Tai'an's gaze, complexities flowed from those cold phoenix eyes, which were finally drawn back by the slender eyelashes, leaving only a bit of sullenness at the end of his eyes, and finally also caught by the bright candlelight beside him. Smoked it clean.

"Your Majesty's meaning." Jiang Jingyun said something specious, like a question, like affirmation, and seemed to have not finished speaking.

Emperor Tai'an didn't comment, and spit out a sentence meaningfully: "Wood without wood, nothing can be used."

A sneering smile appeared on Jiang Jingyun's lips, he looked around at the officials around him, and finally stopped on Xie Fan who was on the ground, his eyelashes fluttering a little inadvertently, and he immediately turned his head away, curling up his fingertips hanging by his side slightly .

The handsome face was instantly stained with ice, and the long and elegant eyebrows and eyes were occupied by thousands of hectares of dark clouds, and even the candlelight could not see half of them being bright and hearty.

His Adam's apple was fluttering up and down, his expression seemed astringent, and it was like something else. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "A tree with no wood can be used for nothing. It is difficult to solidify when it turns into a false one."

"Since that's the case, please ask your majesty to abolish the position of Prince Xie An."

As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly that a gunpowder was thrown in the crowd. Sparks spread rapidly, and everyone was caught off guard with a bang, and their sanity fell apart.

They all grinned wide open, looked at Jiang Jingyun stupidly, stood there like wooden stakes, and didn't know how to wipe their saliva on the ground.

The expression on Emperor Tai'an's face also froze for a moment, and the swaying Yuzhu on the top of his head also became still, as if the ripples dissipated after a stone sank into a deep pool, leaving nothing but silence.Thick black sword eyebrows were about to be raised slightly, a dark color flashed across the half-closed eyes, and the eyes showed the meaning of scrutiny.

"Okay." Emperor Tai'an looked at Jiang Jingyun quietly, and suddenly the corners of his lips twitched.

"This matter is inappropriate." Su He, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was the first to come back to his senses. He stood up abruptly and said with a look of panic, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, and it must not be taken lightly. It should be submitted to the Department of Mirror for review. Let’s make a decision after clarifying the whole story.”

"I personally think Master Su is right."

"My minister agrees."

……

Several adults from Yushitai also echoed their voices, agreeing with Su He's point of view, and sent Xie Ming to the Department of Der Spiegel for a decision.

What's more, he was blushing and arguing with Jiang Jingyun. Anyway, relying on his age, he put his hands on his waist, tried to straighten his waist, and his gray beard trembled. Disaster funds, and now they are asking for an order to abolish the prince. What is the meaning of this move by the prince? Could it be that he thinks that the head of the Department of Defense of the Mirror Department is too old to solve the case?"

"What is your identity?" Jiang Jingyun glanced at the officials in front of him indifferently, and said coldly, "Where did you ever speak in front of this king?"

The official was blocked by Jiang Jingyun's arrogant and rude attitude, he couldn't speak a word, he covered his chest panting, rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for the timely support from his colleagues, he might have passed out directly.

Everyone saw the domineering and rude look on Jiang Jingyun's face, as well as the silver light constantly emerging from his arms, and hurriedly shrunk their necks, stepped back timidly, covered their mouths carefully, and acted wisely. No matter how much you talk, no matter how dissatisfied and opposed you can only nod your head in agreement.

"King Jing's words are not thoughtless, and you should listen to Gu Dao." Emperor Tai'an said slowly, "At this time, the people of Yongzhou are waiting outside the city gate, and they are angry. It will take some time and it won't do much to quell the anger."

"What they want to see now is Gu's treatment of the prince. After thinking about it, King Jing's words are very reasonable."

"Abolishing the position of Prince Xie Meng, demoting him to Marquis of Anping, confiscating all the family's property, confinement in the mansion for a year to cause public outrage, what do you think?" Emperor Tai'an asked.

No matter how stupid people are now, they have already understood that Emperor Tai'an's words are full of loopholes. The people of Yongzhou outside the city are indeed anxious to explain, but they are clearly anxious to ask the government to resettle houses and let them have a place to live.As for Xie Fan, this is just incidental, after all, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important things for them now.

Furthermore, Xie Yan was relegated from the crown prince to Marquis of Anping. Although he lost his status as a prince, he still became a Marquis. He still has a great reputation. Apart from losing some money and bad reputation, where is there any substantive punishment?

Everyone with a discerning eye knew the truth, but Emperor Tai'an pretended to be confused and listened to Jiang Jingyun's one-sided words.

Everyone knew the elegant meaning after listening to the string song, no longer refuted, and expressed their opinions one after another, imitating the style of sloppy.

"The minister is dull, and after thinking about it, I think what King Jing said is indeed reasonable."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister was stupid before, and he hadn't understood King Jing's intentions before."

……

"Since that's the case, then it's settled like this." Emperor Tai'an waved his hand, turned his head to look at Xue Bi who was standing beside him, and said, "Immediately draw up an order to abolish the position of Prince Xie An."

After Xue Bi drafted the decree, he read it out in front of all the officials, and Xie Fan, who had been dazed for a long time, also woke up from Jiang Jingyun's words asking to abolish the prince.

He kowtowed tremblingly, and from the corner of his eye, Jiang Jingyun, who had become calm, hurried away again, gritted his silver teeth, and his voice was hoarse, and said with difficulty: "Minister...lead the order."

After Xie Yan was taken away, Wei Yan, the Director of Der Spiegel who had been silent all this time, stood up.

His face was sallow because of his unwell body, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up intricately like tree roots. Following the movement of the corners of his lips, they each found a new place. There was an awe-inspiring look in his cloudy eyes.

"Since ancient times, the Department of Mirrors has been in charge of the affairs of the royal family and officials above the third rank." Wei Yan's eyes burst out with a captivating light, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, and the sharp blade is eagerly waiting to absorb the bright red blood. own style.

He met Jiang Jingyun's gaze without fear, and smiled grimly: "King Jing's acting like this is really against the precepts of the ancestors."

"Prince, oh no, Marquis Anping made a mistake, and it would be too light to just abolish the position of prince." Wei Yan's eyes were full of sarcasm, "With such a precedent, won't all the prince's descendants follow suit in the future? "

"The Chief of Wei is questioning the king's decision?" An official hid far away, leisurely with his sleeves in his hands, and asked gloatingly.

"No." Wei Yan shook his head, "I just think this kind of punishment is too light. The Marquis of Anping is not only greedy for ink disaster funds, but also pushed the people into the sea of ​​fire, which is clearly deliberate. There is no distinction between good and evil. Your generation deserves to be whipped by my Mingjing Division for good and evil."

"Then I will replace him." Jiang Jingyun said.

what? !

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't hold their tongues. Some people even pulled out their ears and whispered to the people around them in disbelief, repeatedly checking whether they had heard it wrong.

King Jing wants to be whipped by good and evil on behalf of Marquis Anping?

"This king will be punished in place of Marquis Anping." Jiang Jingyun's clear and cold voice wafted back and forth in the huge golden palace, but the voice was as light as a cloud, but it was as heavy as a weight in everyone's ears.

"Why bother Jiang Qing." Emperor Tai'an's expression was unpredictable, his eyes changed a few times, and finally turned into a pool of dead ashes. After pushing away the curling smoke, there was no light in it, "This good and evil whip, Anpinghou can still bear it."

"Affordable?" Jiang Jingyun repeated in a low voice, then sneered, his words mixed with contempt, "The whip of good and evil... can he really bear it? Why does your majesty think he can bear it?"

He paused, looked at Emperor Tai'an with a bit of ridicule and mockery in his eyes, and said quietly: "There is nothing like that, and nothing is like, and you can't see it from there. I didn't seek the way, but I suddenly heard it now. "

Emperor Tai'an choked on his words, and the words that came to his mouth were turned back.

"King Jing can think about it." Wei Yan licked his chapped lips, his eyes were as cold as a hissing poisonous snake, and he tried to get close to Jiang Jingyun's soft throat with his venomous fangs, tearing at Jiang Jingyun wantonly. Biting and gnawing.

"Master Wei is old, but his ears are still good, right?" Jiang Jingyun asked back, "Since you have heard it, don't talk nonsense."

Wei Yan glanced at Emperor Tai'an's expression, and seeing that he didn't make a sound to stop him, he agreed.

Impatiently, he took out the right and wrong book from his sleeve and threw it in the air, twirling the formula with his fingertips, and the golden lower letters with hairpin flowers hung in the air, writing Xie's crimes gracefully and calmly.

Wei Yan read in his old voice.

"Corruption and perversion of the law, two hundred lashes."

"In disregard of the life and death of the people, one hundred lashes."

"A total of three hundred lashes should be completed under the witness of the king and all the officials."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, three hundred lashes for good and evil!If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin, right?Furthermore, the scars caused by the whip of good and evil will take half a year to fully heal, and the scars will last forever.Pain is temporary, but shame is forever.

Why did King Jing punish Anpinghou?Could it be that he was full?

Just when everyone was speculating about Jiang Jingyun's purpose, he had already lifted off his robe and knelt on the ground, his face remained calm, and he said calmly, "Then let's start."

Wei Yan was not one to shirk, a golden light emerged from his palm, and a golden whip with a dragon head and a phoenix body full of barbs jumped out of his palm.

"Offended." Wei Yan stepped forward, and lightly flicked the good and evil whip in the air. The sound of breaking wind and the faint sound of dragons and phoenixes made everyone shiver uncontrollably.

The dull sound of the whip lashing on the bed made the hearts of all present thump, and the splashed blood happily wet the gorgeous carpet, blooming red lotuses, enchanting ghosts.

Jiang Jingyun clenched his teeth, showing no expression on his face, but the slightly trembling shoulders and the bulging veins on the back of his hands betrayed him.

Xie Yan in the corner was red-eyed, his heart was throbbing with pain, he wiped his tears over and over again, his sleeves were soaked and he couldn't get half of his relief.

The whip of good and evil is specially used to deal with the most vicious people, Jiang Jingyun is jealous of the evil, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let him go unpunished.

This shows that...Jiang Jingyun believed in him!Believe in him from beginning to end!

Jiang Jingyun never underestimated him, nor did he think he was worthless.

The author has something to say:

The sentence that touched you the most recently.

Xie Yan: "This king is punished instead of Marquis Anping", the second elder brother is really the best second elder brother!I'm a real dog too, eh~

Jiang Jingyun: I'm still lying down and can't hear it. If I have to hear it, it's the cry of a dog. If I'm not moved, I'll want to beat him.

Thank you: "It's cold, remember to wear long johns", a reminder from an old mother.
