From top to bottom in Liaoning Province, from Jinzhou City to Ningyuan City, from the sergeants to the civilians, everyone who could make thumbprints was pressed. Several pieces of cotton cloth measuring three to five feet were slowly covered with reddish-brown marks.
When Qianniuwei showed them all, all the ministers were silent.
Jiangnan, Fujian, Liaoningthe urgent expressions of friendship of millions of people can be understood by looking at the dense imprints on so many cotton and brocade cloths.
Since ancient times, public opinion cannot be violated.
The last time Liu Mingqi massacred the group of human traffickers in Xiqiu Village, Miao Yan, Wang Zhigeng and others could still punish him according to the court decree.
But this time, it¡¯s a little exaggerated. Liu Mingqi has the power to save the world. Who dares to attack him?
Even if he is an emperor, when faced with such a big battle, the death penalty must be turned into house arrest, and the house arrest must be turned into acquittal.
It¡¯s not a joke, and it¡¯s not just ancient times.
For example, Fanfan.
Even if there are not that many criminal facts about him, under the surging public anger, a sentence of 3-10 years must be towards the full ten years, and it is impossible to find the lowest or middle value.
Sometimes public opinion does go against the law.
But living in the human world, it is impossible to live by cold laws, you still need a little warmth.
This kind of warmth is public opinion.
Whoever blocks it will have no good consequences.
Since ancient times, we, the Great Qin Dynasty, have done the best job of enforcing laws and prohibitions. However, the second generation of the Great Qin Dynasty died. Do you think there is an inevitable connection?
The faces of Wang Zhigeng and others all darkened.
They knew that this time their idea failed, and no one in the court supported them except them.
Even among them, many will hesitate.
¡°After all, not everyone does things with a public heart. Among those who strongly demand Liu Mingqi¡¯s punishment like Wang Zhigeng, there are many speculators and many who just want to gain fame.
"Excluding this group of people, there are only a few people who can really advance and retreat with Wang Zhigeng.
We are so lonely!
Wang Zhigeng sighed with a livid face.
Emperor Jinghe was laughing in his heart.
He didn¡¯t tell others that petitions from millions of people in Jiangnan and Liaoning had already arrived, but he waited until this day and waited until the most critical moment to take them out.
It is completely the effect of one battle to determine the country!
In the face of such majestic public opinion, even Miao Heizi would shy away, let alone you Wang Zhigeng!
Thinking of Miao Heizi, Emperor Jinghe felt unhappy again.
Because he actually received a memorial from Miao Yan.
"Miao Yan, a person who has been greatly favored by Liu Mingqi, actually still writes a memorial saying that Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing and Liu Mingyou will be severely punished, especially Liu Mingjing, who must be severely punished!
How can you believe it is so callous and ruthless?
This Miao Heizi is really not a person you can get close to!
Fortunately, Liu Renhuai, Jia Xiaode, Liao Shicong, and Xiong Wenqing are reliable!
As his thoughts passed, Emperor Jinghe said: "Zhao Shou, go and put these things away, show them to the Queen Mother first, and tell her that her grandson has grown up, knows how to serve the country, and has been recognized by everyone. !¡±
"yes!"
Zhao Shou went to greet him.
The ministers here also returned to their normal thoughts.
Cao Yi was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Deok, Prince Yi, Duke Yan, and so many loyal ministers and righteous men have been praised by the people. It is really gratifying! However, this does not mean that they are guilty. It can be eliminated, but it must be punished properly. Otherwise, if everyone learns from it, wouldn¡¯t it be a disaster?¡±
Emperor Jinghe looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, Prime Minister Cao, just say it."
The emperor still knew Cao Yi very well.
Although I don¡¯t speak much on weekdays and am often taciturn, I usually don¡¯t fight against myself.
With the victory now in hand, he jumped out, so naturally it was impossible for him to do anything wrong.
"I feel that your highnesses have both merit and demerit. Although they have made great contributions, they will definitely be punished for making mistakes." Cao Yi said harmoniously: "In the past few days, the veteran has also discussed with several prime ministers. They Among the three people, Yan Guogong Liu Mingyou was the least guilty, so the court even acquiesced in their going to Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City to help.?Stopped.
Huh?
"Has this Wang Changde changed his gender?"
I thought he was going to stalk me!
While the emperor was thinking, Wang Zhigeng said again: "In addition, everyone knows that in the past year, various businesses in His Highness Prince De's family have been in full swing and they have made a lot of money! Now that winter is approaching, various places have been fighting against the epidemic. The invaders spent a lot of money! If His Royal Highness Prince De¡¯s family can spend a sum of money to help the victims who are short of food in various places, this will be another kind of atonement."
"hehe!"
King Su looked at him with a sarcastic look on his face: "You are really weird! If people in the world knew the price of being a hero, would they still dare to be a hero?"
Wang Zhigeng also looked back at King Su: "Your Majesty, if His Highness Prince De was an ordinary person, I would be willing to kneel down and kowtow to him, thanking him for saving the people in trouble! But he is a member of the clan, and he has knowingly committed so many major crimes of disobedience. Now that I have said this, he is already It goes against my code of conduct! If you think every clan can do this without taking responsibility, then of course you won¡¯t even mention the humble position."
"you¡¡"
King Su was so angry that he blew his beard.
Seeing that something was going to happen, Emperor Jinghe quickly coughed and said, "Changde, is this your opinion?"
Wang Zhigeng sighed: "Your Majesty, what else do you want from me?"
In fact, the emperor just wanted to confirm whether this die-hard had relented.
Now overjoyed, he nodded and said: "Well, Changde, you really thought well Mr. Cao! Do you think this is okay? Mingqi will let him be reduced to the lowest level of viscount! But if he can give him money to exercise 'gain' If so, can I be promoted to the level of Duke?"
The Enhancing Order was created by Liu Mingqi, specifically for wealthy clans and nobles to upgrade the titles of their children and grandchildren.
However, there are many restrictions. For example, the highest rank can only be restored to a title one level lower than one's own, and the highest rank can only be a duke, which is not allowed to be changed.
If Liu Mingqi is demoted to a viscount, his father will still be Prince Yu. However, due to the rules, he is not eligible to restore his title to a prince, only to a duke.
"The ordinary price should be 800,000 taels of silver for the Duke. What's the use of 800,000 taels?" Ge Songdao next to him interjected: "It's better than this. Since His Highness Prince De has such great achievements, we can also have a special one." , let him pay 10 million taels of silver and directly return to the level of a prince!"
King Su was furious: "Ge Honglian, it's a pity that you are not a profiteer! Why are you going to rob ten million taels?"
For more than a year, business in Prince Yu's Mansion has been going very smoothly. Everyone estimates that they may have a fortune of tens of millions, and can be called the richest people in the world.
But taking ten million taels of silver in one breath is an exaggeration.
Emperor Jinghe also felt that something was wrong, and Cao Yi interjected: "Let's do this! Ten million taels to restore the title of a prince to the title of son is indeed a bit excessive! Prince Yi and Duke Yan should also have been punished by being demoted. , as long as His Highness King De gives the money, then they don¡¯t have to demote him! Anyway, His Highness King De encouraged them to do this, so it¡¯s normal for him to give the money.¡±
King Su glared at Cao Yi again, "No! Ten million taels is too much!"
"It's not like he has to give it a year, just a few more years." Cao Yi said with a smile, "Don't be ridiculous, Prince Su. After fighting for such half a year, the court is indeed too short of money. Now if I can have a little If you subsidize it, that would be the best!¡±
Indeed it is.
There were no natural or man-made disasters this year, but the more brutal invasion of the six nations happened, which made the already poor imperial court even worse.
They are looking for money everywhere, and it is normal for them to go crazy thinking about money.
Cao Yi has already talked about this. What else can you say to King Su? He pondered: "Then I will discuss it with King Yu"
"No need to discuss!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and then King Yu appeared out of nowhere.
He raised his hands high and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we gave you the money! As long as we can let Ming Qi go!!"
Emperor Jinghe looked at his honest brother, feeling funny and angry.
You, you, are just a fool!
I don¡¯t know that the price is actually very low. Can I negotiate the price?
Now, everyone knows that you are a rich man, and these ten million taels of silver will make you feel bad! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
