Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
Wu Mian reacted very quickly, realized that his words were wrong, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake: "Please give me a clear warning from the sage. Even if you lend me a hundred courages, I will never dare to slander the royal family. My loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth..."
Before Wu Mian could finish expressing his loyalty, Emperor Liang interrupted him coldly: "My dear, don't be so panicked. Get up."
Wu Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Liang glanced at Qin Feng.
At that moment, Qin Feng dared to feel a strong sense of oppression.
Could this be the dragon's reverse scale, which will cause death if touched?
Qin Feng now understood why the officials would go out of their way to stab him to Fuyun County. They wanted him to get involved in the royal family's grudges and be shattered to pieces.
Emperor Liang's bottomless eyes were completely fixed on Qin Feng, and his tone was a bit deeper than usual: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs sent you to help the county magistrate to improve people's livelihood. I want to hear what you mean. "
As for the emperor's words, listen to the first one, examine the second one, and guess the third one.
If you are only blinded by superficial clues, you will die without knowing how.
Why did Emperor Liang ask about the people's livelihood in Fuyun County? He was clearly asking Qin Feng what he thought of Prince Ming who was trapped in Fuyun County.
Qin Feng, who was used to being a fool, couldn't help but become serious at this time, and his brain was working rapidly.
After only a moment of hesitation, Emperor Liang asked, "Is this difficult to answer?"
Qin Feng's heart thumped, and he did not dare to hesitate any longer, and quickly defended: "Anyone who can become the thirty-sixth county magistrate in Kyoto, how can he be an ordinary person? Who has not made meritorious service in local governance and been promoted slowly? Besides, in the middle of the capital There has been an unwritten rule for a long time. If you want to hold a high position, in addition to normal promotion, there is another way, which is to practice in thirty-six counties."
"After all, these thirty-six counties are all strong counties that can be counted in Daliang. If you can manage the strong counties well, you will be able to hold important positions in the future with ease."
At this time, the hall was completely silent.
No one dared to interrupt at this time.
Even Li Xu, who had long been a sworn enemy with Qin Feng and always liked to take advantage of every opportunity, had no movement at this time.
Emperor Liang was quite dissatisfied with Qin Feng's answer: "Do you still need to tell me this? Turn around and see how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty have served as magistrates of the thirty-six counties?"
This matter has been banned!
Qin Feng did not dare to pretend to be stupid at all, and said straightforwardly: "In fact, I already understand what I mean. It is difficult for the county magistrate to assist in transportation. The problem is not in the magistrate to assist transportation."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang's face instantly darkened.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely cold.
It wasn't until Qin Feng felt the pressure that Emperor Liang's voice sounded again, but it was sharper than before: "Are you blaming King Ming?"
"King Ming is my younger brother. He guarded the border and used his troops like a god. The several great victories recorded in this dynasty were all under the command of King Ming. His illustrious military exploits are known to the world! Now that he is older, in Fuyun County, It is reasonable to rest! The county magistrate of Fuyun is afraid of the king's power and is timid. It is only because of his own cowardice. What does it have to do with King Ming?"
"I see that you are clearly trying to frame Prince Ming on purpose!"
Although the person being scolded was Qin Feng, Qin Tianhu was already sweating profusely.
In this court, everything is negotiable, except for the Li royal family.
Although Qin Feng was under a lot of pressure, he was still calm.
Regardless of what Emperor Liang said, it was just for outsiders to hear.
If he really defended King Ming like this, how could he demote King Ming to Fuyun County? How could he consecrate the second son of Prince Ming to the lowest rank of baron? Isn't this a slap in King Ming's face?
Among the eight princes, only Prince Ming is outside Kyoto.
And when it comes to King Ming, Emperor Liang, who has always been calm and wise, becomes so excited.
It’s evident!
Qin Feng must not give in at this time, otherwise the charge of "framing the prince" will be confirmed, and he will inevitably take the blame for Emperor Liang's party's past of being together and opposing each other!
Qin Feng directly bowed his hands and argued with reason: "Perhaps King Ming has no intention to affect the peace of Fuyun County, but he is the prince after all, and the king's power intimidates everyone. Even if King Ming just sits in Fuyun County and does nothing, he will definitely make the local area The people are afraid, and the magistrate of Fuyun County is terrified."
"As the saying goes, when the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people."
"King Ming had no fault in his intentions, but he left the capital alone and insisted on going to Fuyun County. What else could he do except make Fuyun County tremble under the king's power?"
All civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and remained silent.
Li Xu also lowered his head, but almost laughed out loud, shouting in his heart: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, you are throwing yourself into the fire pit, but it has nothing to do with me! In front of the civil and military saints of the dynasty, you are blaming Prince Ming, it’s really unreasonable for you not to die today.”
Qin Tianhu's face was pale and his eyes were full of despair.
Unless Emperor Liang gives permission, even the three princes cannot easily discuss the royal family.
Just when Qin Tianhu was about to kneel down and take the initiative to accept punishment, Emperor Liang's stern voice sounded.
"Bold Qin Feng, he dares to talk about King Ming in public. Where are the warriors in front of the palace? Drag this guy down to the hall with ten sticks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, gasps sounded throughout the hall.
Li Xu, who had been looking forward to it just now, suddenly turned down: "What? Ten sticks?! It's obviously a capital crime, why is it only such a light punishment?"
Qin Tianhu was also shocked, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Accompanied by wails of extreme grievance, Qin Feng was dragged out of the hall by the warriors in front of the palace, pushed to the corner, took the torture stick from the hand of the young eunuch, threw it directly in front of Qin Feng, and said angrily: "You can do it yourself."
With a smile on his face, Qin Feng nodded and bowed to the warrior in front of the palace. He took the torture stick and knocked it on his leg a few times, letting out a howl with each blow.
Everyone knew that Emperor Liang had no intention of punishing Qin Feng.
Ten of sticks? Play!
As everyone knows, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but was frightened in his heart. It was really suspenseful just now. From now on, the topic of the royal family must not be touched. If he is not careful, he will be in catastrophe.
As for Emperor Liang's thoughts, Qin Feng had already figured it out.
The sentence that really saved Qin Feng was 'King Ming must go to Fuyun County'.
Everyone has heard that King Ming insisted on going there. What does it have to do with Emperor Liang?
The punishment is over.
Qin Feng showed off his acting skills and was dragged back to the main hall limping by the warriors in front of the palace.
Qin Feng collapsed on the ground with a plop, with a grimace on his face: "The saint punished me well, but I realized my mistake."
Emperor Liang snorted coldly, his face still cold: "You know you are wrong? Why are you wrong?"
Qin Feng then howled loudly: "Prince Ming insists on going to Fuyun County. Even if he is wrong, he is still the prince and it is not his turn to discuss it with the lower officials."
Emperor Liang was furious: "How dare you make such arrogant remarks! Drag me down, five sticks!"
The officials in the main hall were stunned.
Why is the punishment getting lighter and lighter?
Outside the main hall, Qin Feng's "wailing sound" echoed again...
