There was silence in the hall, and they didn't know what expression to make.

Who doesn't know that the crown prince is in a beautiful time, at this time the crown prince is only six or seven years old, the emperor's fatherly heart has not been worn away by his aging body, and the little prince Sheng Qingsong is even eating and living with the emperor, who would Those who are not long-sighted are against the mother's family of the Yuan Dynasty, and even jointly signed a letter of impeachment.

What's more, the most important point is that if the emperor has no intentions, these papers will never see the light of day, and they will just be suppressed forever. This is dissatisfaction with the prince, or is it because the Cheng'en government has committed such crimes that the emperor can't stand it? the point?

No matter what they thought, Li Zhi didn't care at all anyway.Duke Cheng's mansion came out and knelt down in amazement. The evidence was conclusive. He was a smart man. He knew that the Holy Majesty was dissatisfied. If he confessed directly, he might be able to treat him leniently for the sake of the prince: "The minister is guilty. Discipline your nephews, restrain your subordinates, and ask your Majesty to punish you."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Let's be flat, speaking of it, this is not only the fault of Cheng Engong alone. Once a person has rights, no matter whether he is a servant or a nobleman, he does not treat people as human beings. How dare I blame you, I am afraid that if I just punished you today, the people in the city will suffer tomorrow."

This wave of her shooting blinded everyone, who dared to respond, they all knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Li Zhi and Ruan Qing's biggest gain from staying together is to learn the principle of "in case of indecision, take the big pot first". The identity of the emperor is the best sharp edge. I wonder if I will be rejected by the emperor and implicate the family.

What's more, no matter what time it is, speech is an invisible weapon of killing, which can destroy a person in all aspects, psychology, personality, dignity, family...

Generally speaking, people, especially an ancient person, would never want to ruin their reputation, especially women, who could be killed if their reputation was slightly worse.

Li Zhi couldn't understand this kind of atmosphere, but it didn't prevent her from taking advantage of it. The relationship between a monarch and his ministers was nothing more than the east wind prevailing over the west wind. If she wasn't tough, it was the courtiers who were tough.

As the first person to be attacked, Cheng Engong had no choice but to stand up first, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty calm down, I plead guilty, please punish me."

He is also smart, knowing that the emperor will make trouble is basically because he has the evidence, and stubborn resistance will only make the emperor more disgusted. In the future, the face will be gone, and it may not be possible to be punished lightly, it is better to admit it.

Li Zhi just valued his sobriety.

She raised her hand and nodded Cheng Engong, and said with a smile: "Forget it, get up, those who don't know are innocent, if you really investigate, I'm afraid most of the people in the upper class will lose their heads."

After Li Zhi finished counting the crimes in detail, she said, "All of the above are determined by the Minister of Dali Temple, and they will be dealt with in accordance with the law. There must be no mistakes."

"Also, Cheng Engong's third son's grandson rode a horse in the street. After trampling and hurting someone, he didn't repent. Because the other's family came to seek justice, he ordered his servants to kill his [-]-year-old woman and her parents. There is no pardon for this crime! Since Aiqing If he doesn’t know how to educate his offspring, let his parents in the next life educate him well. Since ancient times, princes have committed the same crime as ordinary people, and beheaded—”

"His mother was deprived of his imperial status because of covering up, and his father was suspended for reflection."

No one expected that the emperor would strike so cruelly, they were all stunned for a moment, and the whole hall was silent.Wu Ming watched with cold eyes for a long time, finally received Li Zhi's eyes, and raised his voice, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "My dear friends, please take this as a warning."

Her voice was gentle, even with a bit of kindness and tolerance. She didn't look like she had just sentenced someone to death. Everyone present could only feel a cold wind blowing directly into their hearts.

……

"Your Majesty is well." Xie Guifei frowned and looked at the little prince who was studying, and said with a lowered eyebrow, "His Royal Highness said in the morning that he wanted to find you."

It was not too early in the Yuan Dynasty. The noble concubine is also a concubine, and the crown prince of a country cannot be entrusted to a concubine, so the prince has been following the emperor. However, Concubine Xie took good care of the prince because of the good relationship between the prince and his daughter. In fact, she has nothing to do with the adoptive mother. different.

Li Zhi said: "The crown prince is young, so the noble concubine should be more concerned."

The imperial concubine's lifespan was not long in the original plot, and she handled things well. Li Zhi didn't want to find another one to retrain, so she simply asked Wu Ming for some prescriptions for her to take care of her. It seems that the effect is not bad so far.She hesitated for a moment, then said, "You should rest more."

After she finished speaking, she lifted her robe, sat next to the prince, and asked him softly about the progress of today's homework.

Concubine Xie had a wink, she saluted and led the people out after seeing this.

The little prince Sheng Qingsong was talented, quick-witted and eager to learn. Li Zhi had seen countless brats, and at first sight of such a well-behaved child, tears filled his eyes.

She thought that Cheng En Gong's mansion might deliver a letter to the palace, fearing that Sheng Qingsong might misunderstand, she explained a few words softly.

The little prince blinked his big eyes, frowned and said, "Father, do you feel embarrassed?"

Li Zhixin said that's not the case, Cheng Engong is not my father-in-law, "...after all, he is the queen's father."

The little prince pursed his lips, and said: "Father, you don't have to give in for anyone. You are the son of heaven, the ruler of all people in the world, how can you be bound by your children's private affections."

He sat upright on the table and said: "The sage has a saying that a scholar must have the ambition and boldness of 'establishing a heart for the world, establishing a life for the people, inheriting the knowledge of the past, and creating peace for all generations'. Son Dumb, dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with saints, but also understands right and wrong, understands reason, Cheng Engong was born in the imperial examination, after several generations, he used to be a poor family, but now he has forgotten his duty and ancestors, and he has learned from those bastards. The ancestors were once oppressed by the nobles and squires, and after trying their best to get ahead, their descendants turned into moths who oppressed others. Isn’t it ridiculous? He should be punished. If the ancestors know, I hope that the emperor will pull out the moths.”

Li Zhi taught him for several months, obviously not without results.She raised her hand and touched his head, and said, "Father knows that it's best for you to keep your heart."

The little prince pursed his lips, a little nervous.He said a long list without panting, his little head was almost overloaded and couldn't react. Hearing Li Zhi's gentle compliment, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Zhi squeezed his face, and said softly: "It's not that father didn't care about you today, it's just that the incident happened suddenly and it was too late to tell you. Father wants you to know that no matter who breaks the law today, he must be punished." You have to pay the price. You have to know that there has never been such a saying in this world, the so-called emperors are mostly self-appointed, and those wise kings are the emperors, so is it possible that the foolish kings and subjugated slaves are also the emperors?"

Sheng Qingsong was startled, a little panicked, "Father..."

Li Zhi patted his head and said, "I hope you can really think about the people. You were born to enjoy the honor that others can't reach. They hold you up because they hope you can bring them a good life. It's not that you really think that you are incomparably noble. If there are other people who can make them live and work in peace and contentment, whoever is the emperor is irrelevant. You must know that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. Don't be coerced by family affection.  … If Mrs. Engong comes to look for you, you just go to the imperial concubine, she will block it for you."

Sheng Qingsong thought of the old man whose eyes were shining with kindness every time he saw him, and thought of those shrewd and calculating women who followed her, he felt a little troubled, and whispered: "My son understands."

While the two were talking, a little girl's dazed voice came from the apse, probably just waking up from a nap.Li Zhi looked up, smiled and stretched out her hand, "Chang Ning, come to Emperor Father."

Princess Changning, Sheng Qingzhu, is the only one who followed her elder brother in the order of the world, and she was also the first princess to be born with a fief and title. Later, she was a fierce person who overthrew more than a dozen brothers in one fell swoop, but now she is still unable to stand firmly. little girl.

Chang Ning showed a toothless smile, and stumbled into Li Zhi's arms. She hugged the heavy little girl, and thought with some emotion, treasure, you have to fight a little bit, the status of women will depend on you from now on.

Sheng Qingzhu obviously didn't know how much hope was placed on her. Compared with her father, she was more impressed by her brother who had been with her for a long time. Before Li Zhi hugged her for a while, she twisted her body to ask the prince to hug her.

Li Zhi let go in a good manner, straightened her clothes, and asked the palace servants to take good care of them. Finally, she refused Concubine Xie's request to stay a meal, and left with a big fuss.
