The reborn sycophant

Chapter 152 Power Technique

A faint wind was blowing, and in the blue sky, with the rising of the sun, an orange-red morning glow suddenly appeared, and the glow gradually spread, and finally, the sky seemed to be cut by someone, half of it It's cyan, and half of it is red, but it's also pretty tight.

It was under such a strange sky that the adults wearing court uniforms of different grades gradually gathered from various places in Chang'an to the palace, talking in twos and threes all the way, and shut their mouths when they reached Weiyang Palace, waiting for today's morning court.

Among them, some people are thinking about making their enemies pay for their lives, some are ready to bite Wei Chuyan, and some are still focusing on the corruption case in Tongzhou. With various thoughts, they all feel that they Today there was going to be a tough battle in the court, but they didn't know that what they were going to face was a different little emperor from before.

Dressed in a black crown suit and a twelve-pronged crown, Zhao Ji, who looks like an emperor, is sitting on the dragon chair that she has sat on for more than twenty years, with one hand on the armrest of the dragon head, with a complicated look on her face. She looked at the court that was familiar but unfamiliar to her.

There were many faces in the court hall who had accompanied her for many years, and of course there were also many people who had disappeared from the court hall due to various incidents.She identified the past one by one, and went through the things that happened once again, feeling very disappointed for a moment.

She looked at Wei Chuyan who was standing in the crowd again, and the melancholy in her heart dissipated a little, and her emotions got involved, and the knife-like sharpness in her eyes melted away, and the indifference also eased, and she turned into a girl of this age. Zhao Ji often has that kind of wet eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

No one dared to look at her, so Zhao Ji was able to stare at Wei Chuyan unscrupulously, which caused Wei Chuyan to raise his head frequently, his eyes implying that she would look away, but Zhao Ji naturally ignored this hint , she still kept her eyes on Wei Chuyan until a courtier came up to play.

The minister's voice was a little strange, Zhao Ji looked down, and finally remembered that this was Yang Ruihua, the current young minister of Dali Temple.She said succinctly: "Yes."

This calm and majestic voice chilled people's hearts, as if they had been poured cold water over their heads in the coldest winter. The old courtiers were fine, but some new courtiers couldn't help shivering.

Wei Chuyan was the first time to go to court in the past two years, and she was relieved to think that Zhao Ji was already able to deal with the affairs of the court, and he had really been tempered, even better than in his previous life.

"Your Majesty, in the case of Tang Tang whipping Liu Miaomiao to death, His Majesty once ordered my ministers to investigate the back house of Liu's mansion. Now Dali Temple has found out that the fetus in Tang Li's womb was indeed killed by that outer room, and that outer room It was Liu Miaomiao who brought it back to the mansion, and the Liu family also helped to cover it up after the accident. Therefore, Liu Miaomiao took the outside room first and killed the fetus of his original wife. Tang Tang whipped her in the street for this reason, which led to her death."

"Oh? So how did your Dali Temple judge this case?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, murderers in the street should originally be sentenced to death, but since Liu Miaomiao is not innocent and Tang Tang is only out to vent his anger, he can be given a lighter sentence according to the circumstances. In my humble opinion, Tang Tang should be sentenced to exile."

Yang Ruihua was calmer than before, he didn't expect that such a tragedy would be brought about by the dispute over the back house, and he was a little bit embarrassed for a while, but he was straight-minded, even though the teacher hinted that he could commute his sentence, he also Just wish to do this.

"Your Majesty, who doesn't have the incident in the back house? There are many people who have done more than what my family did. If Tang Tang's sentence is reduced because of this, I, Liu Yuan, how can I go down to see my granddaughter. "

As soon as Yang Ruihua's suggestion was uttered, an old man standing in the front left took the conversation away. The old man had white beard and hair and gray eyes. He was Liu Miaomiao's grandfather Liu Yushi. Zhao Ji glanced at the old man and nodded. : "It is indeed a light sentence."

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Yushi was ecstatic, Yang Ruihua was slightly surprised, and Wei Chuyan looked at Zhao Ji in surprise.

On the throne, the young emperor sat calmly. Seeing her looking over, he smiled faintly at her, his eyes seemed to have a gleam of morning light and a dancing flame.

Wei Chuyan felt as if she had been burned, as if she had seen the unruly emperor in her previous life again.

"Your Majesty, the little girl is indeed guilty, but she is also selfish. Then Liu Miaomiao was at fault in the first place. I really shouldn't let the little girl kill and pay for her life."

The Liu family has already left, so General Tang has also left. He even feels that the punishment of exile is too severe, let alone the death penalty?It is absolutely impossible for him to let his daughter die like this, and he has to speak out at the risk of disobeying His Majesty.

Zhao Ji's smile disappeared immediately, she said "presumptuous", and said loudly: "One said that he should be killed, and the other said that he should not be killed. Is my court room where Rong Er and others scold and argue with each other like rogues? "

This is the first time that the little emperor has spoken out so loudly in the courtroom, and it is also the first time that she has scolded important officials so ruthlessly. He glanced at her, but unexpectedly, the emperor's eyes swept over immediately, as if being scratched by the tip of a knife, Prime Minister Zuo's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head as if to show weakness.

Has the new lord's observation of the court reached such a point?

"I dare not."

"The minister is guilty."

Accompanied by the emperor's anger, the two ministers Tang and Liu knelt down in panic. Zhao Ji made them kneel for a while, and when the atmosphere in the hall became more and more low, he suddenly laughed and said, "Why do you two lovers? I also understand my own children. Come here, help the two ministers up, and tidy up their robes. They are all important ministers of the country, and it is better to maintain a neat appearance in this Weiyang Palace."

When she talked about the appearance of the two of them here, it had to be reminiscent of the argument between the two of them just now. Immediately, all the officials lowered their heads and dared not speak.

General Tang and Master Liu heard that the emperor was still angry, so they didn't dare to get up.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and made a gesture to go down to help them. Then the two hurriedly stood up again, bowing and begging His Majesty not to do this for them.

Zhao Jicai sat back again. At this time, no matter whether she was standing or sitting, she had become the absolute center, and everyone's emotions in the hall were affected by her alone.

She is still not satisfied.Now she still has to rely on this method to deter the government and the public, she is really powerless!

But she has to bear it if she is not satisfied.She is still too young now, and she has neither removed the princes nor pacified the Huns. Although these people are afraid of her, they are only in awe of her status as an emperor, not afraid of her.

What she wants is the complete surrender of these people.

"Tang Tang's murder has become a fact. I think he should be sentenced to death."

As soon as the emperor said these words, General Tang and Wei Chuyan changed their expressions. General Tang immediately wanted to intercede again, but when he met the emperor's eyes, he seemed hesitant, while Wei Chuyan was suddenly surprised by Zhao Ji. Shocked by the change of mind, she clearly discussed it with Zhao Ji last night.

"However, the Tang family has served Daqi for generations, and many sons even died fighting for Daqi. Based on this alone, I should spare Tang Tang's life." Accompanied by His Majesty's words, General Tang's heart sank His downhearted heart rose again, but Liu Taishi beside him was not so happy anymore, but he also had lingering fears about Cai's matter, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

With Zhao Ji's words, Wei Chuyan knew that Zhao Ji would help Tang Tang, so she felt relieved, Zhao Ji glanced at her quietly at this moment, and gave her a smile.

Wei Chuyan was completely relieved.

Zhao Ji turned to Liu Taishi again: "I am very heartbroken when the Liu family loses their daughter. Your Liu family is also a loyal family, and you have been assisting Sheji since you were alive. Therefore, Tang Tang's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. I She will not be punished lightly."

Liu Taishi then made an appearance of being grateful, and kowtowed to His Majesty again and again.

This old fox!This is forcing her to give a heavy sentence.Although Zhao Ji had seen through it, she was unmoved in her heart. She had already made a decision, and she would never change it easily.

"Let's sentence Tang Tang to the death row camp. She is a lady of the Tang family. Even if she dies, she should die on the battlefield, and she should die with dignity. Let her go to the death row camp. Nine points will be left on the way to death, and one point will be left." Vitality. This is my punishment to her for the Liu family, and it is also my gift to her for the Tang family. With such a verdict, General Tang and Master Liu, are you two satisfied?"

The death row camp is an army composed of death row prisoners. They camped in the frontier fortress. If the Huns came, they had to rush to the forefront, and they often lost their lives.But for the condemned prisoners who were supposed to die in the first place, a little life is enough for them to rush into the camp. Therefore, Zhao Ji said that it is both a reward and a punishment, which is very close to the facts.

Liu Taishi is satisfied, what is the death row camp?It was a cannibal's burial ground, and the girl from the Tang family went to it, and she died in all likelihood.

General Tang also had to accept it.What Tang Tang committed was a capital crime, no matter how bad it was, he would be exiled to the border as a sinner.His Majesty's verdict at least... gave Tang'er a decent way to die.

Your Majesty is right, even if the members of the Tang family die, they deserve to die on the battlefield!

Tang and Liu thanked each other.

Wei Chuyan became suspicious again.What she had discussed with Zhao Ji was to let Tang Tang go to the frontier camp. This was considered a humiliation, and the Liu family could not accept it, but why did Zhao Ji suddenly change his mind?

Death row camp, isn't this the army Tang Tang went to in his previous life?No, if you don't stop it, Tang Tang will probably die on the grassland like in the last life!

The author has something to say: Wei Chuyan: Ji has grown up and looks more and more like before, both gratified and melancholy.
