Chen Jue knew this very well, so he had to work hard to review the memorial even if he didn't want to.
Even the original person who always wanted to destroy the Chen Kingdom understood this.
It's a pity that although the original person understands, he already has the intention of destroying the Chen Kingdom together.
The bright lights flickered in the silence of the night, and suddenly a chill came over, and Chen Jue sneezed violently.
Liu Zhong, who was waiting on the side, heard the sound and hurriedly put the prepared robe on His Majesty, not forgetting the last words of advice.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's a cool night in late autumn. It's time for your Majesty to rest. Don't hurt the dragon's body."
"What time is it?"
Chen Jue listened to Liu Zhong's ramble and moved his stiff neck and shoulders.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's seven o'clock in the morning."
Is it already so late? On weekdays, he never goes past midnight when reviewing memorials. After all, he is a human being and needs to rest.
Chen Jue shook his head slightly, resting his head on his hands, his eyes falling on the unfinished manuscript on his left hand. These were not important.
As a modern person, I know that staying up late is harmful to the body, and I should live well if I can. Chen Jue decided to leave these memorials for review tomorrow!
"Pack these away." After Chen Jue ordered, he got up and went into the inner room to rest.
When Liu Zhong on the side saw this, he immediately finished cleaning up in a low voice and tiptoed out, not forgetting to turn off the lights and close the door.
Liu Zhong looked relieved when he left the house. His Majesty now knows more and more to be diligent in political affairs. Guotai and people's peace is not a dream!
According to your Majesty's actions in Shangzhou, your Majesty's good reputation as a wise king who loves the people like a son will spread throughout the Chen Kingdom.
Of course, this still requires manual operation. Liu Zhong thought for a moment and asked his most trusted disciple to whisper a few words, "Go!"
"Master," the young apprentice hesitated and asked, "Aren't you going to report this matter to His Majesty?"
"Report?" Liu Zhong could see what the young apprentice was hesitating about. He smiled and nodded secretly. Yes, hesitation is a sign of fear.
Liu Zhong was very satisfied with this aspect of his young apprentice, as a boy can be taught!
"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know what we are doing?"
Liu Zhong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are everywhere in this palace. No, it should be said that in the entire Chen Kingdom, there is nothing that Your Majesty doesn't know."
The young disciple shrank when he said this, and he was even more afraid of the imperial power.
Seeing the fear of his young apprentice, Liu Zhong praised him again, "Don't be afraid."
"Your Majesty was brought up by me. He is a very good person. As long as you don't lie to Your Majesty, you can live on forever."
"Really?" The young apprentice didn't quite believe what the master said.
He didn't serve His Majesty closely, so he didn't know whether this was true or not.
But whether before entering the palace or after entering the palace, he had heard a lot of rumors about His Majesty, and he was not as "nice" as his master said.
It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. If your majesty is unhappy, you can kill yourself.
But considering that Master has been able to stay with His Majesty for so many years, he must have his own way of doing things. It is always right to listen to Master.
Thinking of this, the young apprentice decided to hug the master's thigh tightly and not waver.
Looking at the back of his young apprentice disappearing into the night, Liu Zhong shook his head helplessly. His apprentice was good at everything but a little naive.
well! Forget it, I am getting older now, and it takes time to choose an apprentice to train, so I might as well just train him first.
True to what Liu Zhong said, Chen Jue knew about the conversation between Liu Zhong and his young apprentice last night and what he told his young apprentice to do when he woke up the next day.
In response, Chen Jue just smiled.
In the morning of this day, all the ministers jointly submitted a letter asking the King of Qin how to solve the problem.
Some people think that the King of Qin and the deposed prince who led troops to rebel should be punished with death according to the New and Chen Laws, while some ministers think that they are members of the royal family and should not be sentenced to such a serious crime.
Moreover, the deposed prince is still a brother from the same father and mother to His Majesty.
There are also officials who believe that "princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people", and the convictions in the Xinchen Code should be based on this. This is what Tao Yuan of the Ministry of Punishment believes.
The ministers all had different opinions, and the noise really gave Chen Jue a headache. As expected, he hated going to court at such times.
While the ministers were arguing, one of them suddenly looked up and saw His Majesty's beautiful eyebrows knitted into a ball, and his heart suddenly thumped.
He quickly shut up and reminded the people next to him to stop talking.
Seeing that something was wrong, the ministers all shut up.
"I feel... I feel that Tao Shangshu is right. Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. According to the new laws, rebellion is punishable by death."
"I second my opinion."
"I second my opinion."
Suddenly the ministers began to agree with Wei Yuan's words.
If you think about it carefully, the life and death of King Qin and the deposed prince have nothing to do with them, and their words to these two people are not really going against the law.
They just wanted to prove their presence in the court.
It was obvious that His Majesty was not satisfied.
The new law was set by His Majesty. Now they are interceding with King Qin and the deposed prince. Isn't that a slap in His Majesty's face?
Are you facing His Majesty?
Isn’t this looking for death?
However, there are not always those who seek death.
"Your Majesty, King Qin cannot kill him!"
The ministers heard the sound and looked over, only to see Cui Shangshu standing in front walking out, "!!!!!!" What is Cui Shangshu doing!
Soon they found out.
"The King of Qin has a death-free order from Emperor Wen, so I'm afraid he won't be able to kill him!" Cui Shangshu said.
"!!???" King Qin still has this thing? No wonder King Qin, who was escorted back, looked fearless!
The current King of Qin is the adopted son of Chen Chang, King of Hengyang.
During the reign of the late Emperor, King Qin, who was still King of Hengyang, returned to Luojing to attend a banquet.
At the banquet, he blocked the assassin's assassination for the late emperor, so he was given the title of King of Qin as a reward.
With this rescue effort, King Qin was even trusted by the late emperor.
King Qin was the adopted son of King Hengyang, and King Hengyang was the only heir of Emperor Gaozu, so he and Emperor Wen were cousins.
King Hengyang was once captured by the Zhou State. After Emperor Gaozu came to the throne, he frequently sent envoys to ask Zhou Guo to release Chen Chang.
However, Zhou Guo promised but did not send him.
After the death of Chen Gaozu Chen Baxian, the Chen Kingdom had no heir, and the emperor's nephew Chen Qian took over the throne.
At this time, the state of Zhou wanted to cause civil strife in the state of Chen, but instead immediately released Chen Chang.
Chen Chang's return did create some trouble for Emperor Wen, but Emperor Wen did not take action against him for Gaozu's sake.
He even treated him with courtesy. If it weren't for the courtiers' advice, he would have given up the throne to Chen Chang.
Emperor Wen gave up this idea with the words "Have there been any emperors since ancient times?"
In order to show his courtesy to the legitimate son of the great ancestor, Emperor Wen made him the King of Hengyang and allowed him to raise private soldiers.
But on the way back to the vassal land, King Hengyang died because of the unsatisfactory climate.
The King of Hengyang had no children but an adopted son, so he gave this courtesy to his adopted son to succeed him as the vassal king.
However, this private soldier was withdrawn. After all, he was just an adopted son.
