Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The sage was very happy because his grandson was in sight.That night, I drank some wine and called a little promise to serve me beautifully. I played too much, and the next day I was a little sleepy and couldn't cheer up.

The prince went to Qianqing Palace in good spirits early in the morning. He would have breakfast with the saint every morning.

Seeing the young, handsome, energetic son who was half his son in the Forbidden City, the saint felt a little uncomfortable.

Father and son faced each other and had breakfast in silence.

"Father, my son looks at you today. It seems that you are not as energetic as usual. Did you not sleep well? Or is there something uncomfortable? Call the imperial doctor to take a look."

As someone's son, if you get someone's father's love, you have to reciprocate, right?

It really is a pot that cannot be opened without mentioning!

The saint is secretly lucky.Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is my son, and he cares about himself.But why do you feel panicked after hearing this? !

"Chengxian, what about the initial judgment I want you to do in spring? I have been waiting for months."

Prince:  …

"Father, this, the Shi family just had a happy event." Didn't it mean that at this time, it is time to accumulate blessings for the emperor and grandson, and to kill less?

"Just last night, I got the emperor's grandson, and the affairs of the court have to be done. Not to mention the felony of murdering the prince."

"Ok."

The prince's joy went down.

The saint felt a little better.

"Wei Jiu, go and bring those who are waiting to be determined to the crown prince."

Last night was Liang Jiu's duty night, and Wei Jiu didn't know what happened.He trotted to Mo Jiu's place to get the file.Mo Jiu was cautious, and accompanied him all the way, carrying all the files to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Right under the eyelids of the sage, the prince drew up a pen to make the first judgment.Frowning while writing.According to the law at that time, anyone involved in the Yufengtang case was a capital offense.The family members of the Chen family and the Zheng family will also be implicated.The family members of the owner of Yufengtang will also be implicated.But the owner died of a sudden illness the day after the incident.As a slave, how could he have the capital to open such a large Yufeng Hall?The person implicated should be the Zhenbei Houfu.

The prince skipped over the owner who died of the sudden illness, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion that should be implicated, and wrote down.What to do with the Zhenbeihou Mansion is a matter of concern for the saint.What's more, the disposal of Zhenbeihou's mansion in the capital also implicated Zhenbeihou on the border, Concubine Hui, the second prince, the eldest princess, and the sixth prince in the palace.

After transcribing the names of each person, the more he wrote, the more flustered he became.

So many people want to kill?

The sage remained calm and stared at the prince.Alas, this child is still soft-hearted!How should he practice to be more ruthless?The saint has forgotten his original intention of mentioning this matter.

140 for four people.The prince wrote down what should be asked.

Then, he took another piece of paper and wrote those who should be accepted as official slaves.For female relatives, there are several different punishments for being an official slave.One is to sell, allowing officials and officials to buy them, and also allowing relatives who are still officials to buy them, and buy them back to be used as ordinary maids and servants.There is just one thing, such official slaves, after giving birth to offspring, have to go to the government for filing and branding, and the children are still official slaves.The other is to go to Jiaosifang, most of them are young women or girls with good looks.Those who know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can live a decent life.Those who can learn singing and dancing, when they are young, they can also fool around.Nothing can be done, just to be a so-called official/prostitute.The worst thing is the kind of exile, the red tent assigned to the barracks, and become an army/prostitute.

No matter what kind, they are those who cannot redeem themselves, and their children and grandchildren must be slaves.

The prince shook his hands, not knowing how he should fill in the punishment for the female relatives.

"Chengxian, can't bear it anymore?"

The sage's sudden question made the prince tremble in fright.

The prince took advantage of the situation and put down the pen.

"Father, my son and minister are in a difficult situation. How about executing those female relatives as well?"

"No! It won't have the effect of deterrence. Only those with ulterior motives will understand that murdering the prince is the same as conspiring against him. Only when their children are implicated and they are slaves for generations. , to be afraid."

"Father, what about the Zheng family and the Chen family?"

"The men involved in the case, who are over 12 years old, will be killed. The rest, regardless of gender, will be branded and left as slaves in the eldest house of Zheng's and Chen's families. They will not be pardoned."

The prince gasped.

"Chengxian, I wanted to let the women of the Zheng family and the Chen family go, but you are too soft-hearted." The saint shook his head.

The prince felt guilty, "Father, son..."

"The rest of the people are exiled."

The saint spoke decisively, his jaw tensed, expressing his firm and unquestionable attitude.

The crown prince understood that it was his own impatience that caused these people to be punished more severely.

"Chengxian, think about it carefully. If they succeed in you, what will happen to you? Will you be abandoned by me? What about the servants and officials of the Eastern Palace?"

how?The prince thought, the original body was captured by them.Alas, it was because I didn't have a deep understanding of my hatred for the original body, so I thought of raising my hand to the Zheng family, Chen family and other female relatives and young children.

The prince became nervous, thinking about how many officials were involved when the original body collapsed...

"Father, my son made a mistake, my son shouldn't be soft-hearted."

The prince stood up and confessed his mistake to the saint.

"Chengxian, if you encounter similar things again, you have to think more, think more. If you let them off lightly, will there be more or less rebellious things in the future? Think about the incident in the East Palace again. A few kids, and you know what to do."

The sage spoke with sincerity, but the prince stood with his arms tied and listened carefully.

"My son, thank you for your father's instruction."

"Go to the Palace of Compassion and Ningqian, and discuss the matter with the Empress Dowager and the imperial concubine. Let's talk about it. I will keep those people in the long room of the family as slaves, so as not to let outsiders bully them. Think about the Queen Mother and the concubine. The noble concubine understands that I have already done this extrajudicially. Go."

"Yes, Father."

The prince went to the Compassion Palace first.Because the crown prince wanted Shi's family to raise a baby in the East Palace, in today's Compassionate Ning Palace, there are a little fewer people because of the imperial concubine's illness in the future.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine De and Concubine Xian who were drinking tea with their heads down. If the Crown Princess was present, the two would still be able to talk affectionately in order to keep the Crown Princess alone.As for the concubine Cheng, she smiled and said nothing every year.Concubine Zhen, who had just been promoted, was holding her pregnant belly, showing unconcealable exhaustion.She saw that the Crown Princess was not here, and she didn't want to make a scene for the Queen Mother.

The queen mother felt bored since she knew that the princess would not come to pay her respects in the morning.If the imperial concubine comes over, I can still say a few words to the imperial concubine.These few people, without the crown princess, all came here to sit.

"You all go back."

The queen mother felt depressed and uncomfortable.Seeing them pretending to be filial and virtuous in front of me, it's better to ask the old concubine to accompany me, and recruit some clever servants and maids to tell me jokes.

When these people went out, they met the prince head-on.

After the two greeted each other, the crown prince said in amazement: "Mother Concubine De, Concubine Xian, my father has something to tell the Empress Dowager alone, and I will have to rely on the concubines to serve the Empress Dowager."

Concubine De and Concubine Xian, they looked at me suspiciously and I looked at you, but they couldn't guess what the crown prince was going to say.But the prince said so, so he had no choice but to turn around and go back to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Concubine Zhen saluted the prince, "His Royal Highness, I am tired, can I go back to the palace?"

"Okay, just save someone and help listen."

Concubine Zhen ordered her personal maid to stay, and left the Palace of Compassion and Ning with the rest of them, full of suspicion.

"Grandmother, my grandson greets you."

"The prince is here."

The grandparents and grandsons can still live together, mainly because the queen mother realized that after the death of the queen mother, she had to hug the thigh of the future king in order to save some dignity for the Zheng family after she passed away.

"Grandmother, the matter of Chunshang was settled by the emperor. The men involved in the case, over 12 years old, a total of 140 people were beheaded."

The Empress Dowager's face immediately turned pale.She knew that those from her natal family committed a capital crime.I thought that after so long, the sage would find some reason to pardon them, so that they would be spared the death penalty.

"Grandmother," the crown prince stretched out his hand to help the queen mother, "and the daughters of the Zheng family."

"Women's family? The women's family is also punished?"

The queen mother grabbed the prince's hand, and her nails were about to dig into the prince's flesh.

"Grandmother, it hurts, it hurts, please let go."

The queen mother smiled dryly and stroked the prince's hand.Those half-moon-shaped marks pinched out by myself are a bit dazzling on the back of the prince's hand.

"Prince, the imperial grandmother didn't mean it."

The crown prince nodded, "Grandmother, the emperor said that the female relatives will be sent to Zheng's parents' house as official slaves."

The female relatives were sent to Zheng's parents' house as official slaves?The queen mother repeated these words several times before she understood the meaning of the words, and tears flowed out all at once.

"The imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother."

The queen mother was in a trance for a while before finding her own voice.She didn't care about her tearful gaffe, she tugged at the prince's sleeve, stuttering a bit.

"Prince, thank your father on behalf of the emperor's grandmother. You have saved face for the Zheng family. You have saved face."

He was made an official slave, but he still stayed in the Zheng family. This is because the Empress Dowager gave the Zheng family great face.I believe that Chengjue's eldest house will not treat them as slaves and humiliate them.

The queen mother cried for a while, thinking of the Chen family.

"Prince, how did you deal with the members of the Chen family?"

"all the same."

"Well. Go and tell the concubine."

The saint does the same with his mother's family, that's fine.The queen mother calmed down, let go of the prince's hand, and pushed him out.

Her concubine De and Concubine Xian came forward, the prince took a few steps back and gave up his seat to the two of them.

"Grandmother, grandson will go to Chengqian Palace first, and will come to see you later."

"No need, let's go to work with the saint on the affairs of the previous court."

The prince left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and then Concubine De and Concubine Xian were also driven out.The news spread throughout the Forbidden City in just an instant.Before evening, it spread throughout the capital.

Because Concubine Zhen was pregnant, the servants who carried the sedan chair were also very careful.Not long after she returned to Changchun Palace, her personal maid came back to report.

"Your Majesty, it's terrible. The saint has punished Chunshang."

Concubine Zhen put down the tea bowl after listening to the saint's punishment.

After thinking silently for a while, he asked, "Do you know?"

Over there, it refers to Concubine Hui of the main hall of Changchun Palace.

The big maid whispered: "When the prince was talking to the empress dowager in the Palace of Compassion, Concubine De and Concubine Xian were all there."

"Okay, the queen mother and concubine will be sick tomorrow. You all keep your mouths shut, don't let the people over there hear anything from your mouths." Concubine Zhen motioned to the servants around her. "At that time, over there, I won't be able to win favor for you. When the seventh prince comes over in a while, restrain the seventh prince and don't let him fight with the sixth prince."

"Yes."

The people who served Concubine Zhen knew that Concubine Zhen said she couldn't get any favors, and that they committed crimes in the hands of the Lord Hall, so they would not care about them.Everyone was vigilant and dared not speak any gossip about Compassionate Ning Palace and Chengqian Palace.
