Snapped!
Above the court, Wang Chen slammed the table angrily.
"If word gets out about the robbery of silver in the capital, it will really add to the prestige of Daxia!"
"I don't know how many days it will take before it will spread throughout the border countries."
"This is a good time. Not only can you say that I, Daxia, have no control, but you can also say that my officials in Daxia are self-involved. Even today's close associates of the elders dare to rob the army's pay at night!"
At this time, all the ministers of His Highness fell into silence.
News came in the middle of last night that a silver truck loaded with military pay was knocked over on its way out of the city.
The white money fell all over the floor, causing everyone to rob it. Fortunately, officers and soldiers arrived in time and saved most of the silver.
"What, Mr. Li Ge, aren't you going to say a few words?"
Today, the atmosphere in the court was completely reversed.
I saw Ge Lao Li Zhang's eyelids drooping, as if he was admitting his punishment and his mistake. But those Li faction officials who were surrounding Li Zhang lowered their heads at this moment and said nothing.
Just because the person who knocked over the silver cart was none other than Li Desheng, the nephew of current Pavilion boss Li Zhang!
In the end, it was Li Zhang who coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the court.
"This matter is due to my incompetent discipline. Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
"Severe punishment?"
After hearing this, Wang Chen sneered, seeming to have finally grasped the problem.
He said to the crowd of His Highness.
"Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?"
"I'm here."
"In the capital, riding a horse to hijack a silver chariot is a military reward. If this matter is handed over to you, how will you handle it?"
After listening to this, the Minister of Dali Temple had beads of sweat on his forehead.
However, he still spoke.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of Daxia, this matter should be... the death penalty!"
After saying this, the surrounding ministers were in an uproar.
Wang Chen looked at everyone's reactions and seemed quite satisfied.
This matter was planned by Wang Lin, and it was also a great gift he gave to himself. He knew that Li Desheng was irritable by nature and could cause trouble at the slightest agitation.
After all, Li Desheng is a member of the Li family, and Li Zhang should not do anything while watching his nephew beheaded.
If this matter can be used to shake up mountains and shake tigers and shake up the ministers, it should be a good choice.
So, he turned to Li Zhang and asked, "Mr. Li Ge, what do you think now?"
At this time, the sound of needle drops could really be heard in the entire court.
The surrounding ministers were all watching the changes in the expressions of the emperor and Mr. Li Ge.
They could all see that this was a confrontation between the two in the court.
A few days ago, Mr. Li Ge was indeed a bit arrogant. But just because of this, does the emperor want to kill his nephew as a deterrent?
All the ministers looked at Li Zhang standing aside, wanting to see his movements. They all knew that if Mr. Li Ge said a few soft words at this time, the Holy Master would definitely not punish him as the Minister of Dali Temple said.
But Li Zhang's words were shocking at this moment.
"How can one or two people change our laws in Daxia?"
"If he deserves the death penalty, I ask your Majesty to enforce the law impartially and give Li Desheng a way to die!"
After hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in shock.
What everyone didn't expect was that Li Zhang could be so ruthless, regardless of family ties.
Li Zhang looked at Wang Chen on the dragon chair with a dark face: "How about it, Your Majesty? Is this answer satisfactory to you?"
However, Wang Chen did not show any panic or unexpected expression at this time.
He looked at Li Zhang in front of him, smiled and said, "Mr. Li Ge is wise and righteous, I am naturally very satisfied."
"However, I see that Mr. Li Ge is so sensible and this son is unintentional, so I give Mr. Li Ge two opportunities to choose."
"First, I have long heard that Li Desheng is arrogant and domineering, so after this incident, I will imprison Li Desheng in a prison to make him sincerely repent."
"Secondly, Mr. Li Ge will train him at home, and I will not interfere in any way."
"It's just that if you do it again next time, I won't let you go easily."
"How about it? How should Mr. Li Ge choose?"
Wang Chen looked at Li Zhang with sharp eyes, only to find that Li Zhang's face turned darker.
But the discussions around him were all about Wang Chen's benevolence. After all, Li Zhang only united his ministers to offend the emperor two days ago, but now he has received the emperor's favor. He should repay the emperor's favor in the future.
However, the old fox Li Zhang's eyes were so vicious that he could see the problem at a glance.
If he directly executes Li Desheng, the debt will be placed directly on his head.
But now he gave himself two choices, which was to put pressure on himself.
After all, besides himself, the Li family also has various relatives. If everyone learns that Li Zhang is unwilling to save his nephew, I am afraid that not only will some people start talking about it, but even if Li Zhang wants to gain a foothold in the family in the future, there will be no place for him!
It seems like there are two choices, but in fact there is no choice!
So, Li Zhang took a deep breath, stepped forward and saluted and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"My lord, choose the second option."
Wang Chen also smiled and nodded: "In that case, Mr. Li Ge will teach this boy well at home."
"Tell him to stay safe in the future. If he has any other ideas, let alone I can't spare him, I'm afraid I won't spare him even today."
Hearing this, Li Zhang gritted his teeth. Wang Chen's words didn't seem to be talking about Li Desheng, but about himself.
But now that the matter was over, he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mr. Li Ge, who was once arrogant in the temple, finally bowed to Wang Chen temporarily!
…
An hour later.
The Li family's mansion.
call!
With a sound of breaking wind, the whip suddenly hit Li Desheng's white and tender flesh, and the one wielding the whip was none other than the current Chaozhongge Lao Li Zhang.
"Ouch!"
"Stop fighting, uncle, stop fighting!"
Li Desheng's whole body was kneeling on the ground, and his shirt was opened, revealing the skin underneath.
But Li Zhang was furious at this time, and his beard seemed to stand on end.
"I told you not to study well! I told you not to study well!"
Snapped!
"I am embarrassed in front of the emperor!"
Snapped!
The sound of whips and screams came one after another, and the sounds were connected.
After a while, maybe Li Zhang was tired of beating him, so he simply threw the whip aside, turned to the servants in the house and said.
"Violation of family rules will result in fifty lashes!"
"Twenty more left, take action!"
"If he doesn't have twenty more red marks on his body, these red marks should be added to you!"
After saying that, he stood angrily aside with his hands behind his back, watching the servants take action.
Under this situation, the servants complained endlessly and did not dare to clean or heavy their hands.
What hasn't changed is that there are still constant cries coming from the Li family's mansion.
However, in the Yangxin Hall of the imperial palace at this time, there was a different phenomenon.
