Look, this is what the literati said.
Much stronger than those big bosses here.
Qin Su's faction was basically all military generals, with only Kong Yu being a civil servant.
Therefore, many times, the prince's faction could not be overcome in verbal disputes in the court.
"Huang Miao, the prince has always been benevolent and governed the country with royal principles. When did he act with authority?"
"Furthermore, the prince was only a minor punishment and did not order the killing."
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Ma, if the prince is so kind and virtuous, why would he order a direct beating on the street? Why did that person die?"
"May I ask, Master Ma, what is benevolence?"
As soon as Ma Ji finished speaking, Kong Yu raised his head and retorted directly.
"this……"
Ma Ji was immediately speechless.
How could he not know what benevolence is?
But he couldn't say it, because the prince was indeed unethical in this matter.
"Hmph, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people."
"According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, this matter should be investigated by the internal history, and then sent to Yanwei. Why did the prince ignore the law and commit the crime on his own initiative."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to handle this matter strictly and to uphold the law."
"I beg your Majesty to handle this strictly."
Seeing this scene, the second prince's faction quickly sent assists and knelt down right behind Kong Yu.
For a time, at least one-third of the people in the entire hall knelt down.
Emperor Qin sighed in his heart, how could he not see the strangeness of this matter.
You know, he also came from the prince's background.
But now that the prince is caught, what can he do?
Overt and covert fighting, isn't that what it is?
Thinking of this, he felt a little disappointed in the prince.
As the eldest son, he has no kindness, and as the prince, he has no brains.
Alas, he shook his head secretly and looked at Li Yi.
"What does the Prime Minister think of this matter?"
At this time, Li Yi was sighing in her heart, and she was even more disappointed with this Lanwai.
Unable to control his temper at all, he would commit violent acts in broad daylight on the street, and would be taken advantage of by others.
If you think about it carefully, it was the second prince who did it.
Because he had just done something like this a few days ago.
It's really like treating others in their own way.
Thinking in his mind, he walked out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, no one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes."
"On that day when the four princes left the capital, the prince was reluctant to give up and inevitably lost his mind. However, the commoner, no matter what the reason, undermined the prince's majesty and the royal majesty and should be punished."
"However, the prince was benevolent and wanted to end it with a small punishment. It was the guard who made his own decisions and punished him too harshly, which led to the man's death at home late at night."
"Therefore, although the prince made a mistake, there was a reason and he was virtuous. I think he can be punished lightly but not severely."
Another old fox.
Just these words are worthy of the position of prime minister. They are so beautifully said.
Everyone secretly praised it.
Emperor Qin couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, then turned to Liu Ji and asked.
"What the Prime Minister said is quite reasonable. How does Liu Aiqing view this matter?"
"Your Majesty, what all the ministers said is true. I believe that rumors are spreading throughout the Qin capital. We should make a fair decision and make the Qin capital public to stop the rumors."
"The prince has always been benevolent. However, the country has national laws and the king has his own return. I think that the prince should not convict and cast laws privately, but should leave it to the internal history. This is a crime."
"Well, the prince has indeed experienced this."
Emperor Qin nodded and said.
In Da Qin, no matter what crime was committed, it was handed over to the government instead of being punished privately.
You must know that civilians are not slaves.
Even if you kill a slave, you have to report it to the government.
Of course, some things are not made public, and in private the government turns a blind eye.
Regarding the prince's matter, we can only say that public opinion is too great and must be dealt with according to the law.
"Your Majesty, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law."
"The prince violated the law and was not strict with his subordinates, which resulted in a murder. He should be severely punished."
Kong Yu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, please punish me severely."
The Second Prince's faction spoke out again.
When Qin Mian saw this scene, he was angry and shocked.
He didn't expect that a small incident would evolve to this point.
He looked at Li Yi anxiously, trying to get him to speak again.
"Your Majesty, although the emperor commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, he has not been punished since ancient times."
"I think the prince can be punished for copying the laws of Qin to show the world." Seeing this, Li Yi could only stand up again.
"Your Majesty, the prince's virtue is not worthy of his position. As a prince, he knows the law and breaks the law. If you just copy the Qin law, I am afraid that the people of the world will not be convinced!"
Emperor Qin felt helpless. Although Wu Jian and others exaggerated, the prince was wrong after all.
Failure to punish would certainly be unfair.
For a moment, he was a little unsure.
It won't work if the punishment is light, and it won't work if the punishment is heavy.
Thinking of this, he could only look at Liu Ji.
"Your Majesty, the prince is the heir to the throne and it is inconvenient for him to be punished."
"But the teaching is not strict and the teacher is lazy. I suggest that the prince's teacher should cut off his hair and take his place."
Liu Ji understood and stood up.
Emperor Qin's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "What Liu Aiqing said is reasonable. What do you think of it?"
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became sharper.
Feeling the huge pressure, the ministers looked at each other and could only respond helplessly: "I second my opinion."
It's not okay to disagree. It's obvious that the emperor doesn't want the situation to escalate.
"Well, the prince's teacher, Dr. Chun Yuxian, was not strict in his teaching, so he ordered him to cut off his hair and replace his head as a warning to others."
"But the prince was not strict with his subordinates and ordered him to copy the laws of the Qin Dynasty ten times. His guards were good at making decisions and punished him severely and beheaded him."
Qin Huang said in a calm tone.
"promise."
Next to him, Zhao Gan quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"My beloved sirs, what else can I report to you?"
The ministers glanced at each other, and then replied in unison: "I have nothing to say."
"Then retreat."
Emperor Qin waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the back of the palace.
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
The ministers bowed their heads and saluted.
Emperor Qin finished his breakfast and came to Qinfang Palace. As soon as he picked up the book in his hand, Zhao Gan walked in from outside the palace in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Chun Yuxian couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting a pillar."
Emperor Qin was stunned, put down the book in his hand, and remained silent.
After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "A generous burial."
"promise."
Zhao Gan bowed in response, and then said with a somewhat hesitant look on his face: "Your Majesty, someone came from the Eighth Prince's Mansion just now, saying that the Eighth Prince has caught a cold and cannot afford to fall ill, and wants to summon the imperial doctor."
"Why do you feel cold?" Qin Huang frowned and asked subconsciously.
Zhao Gan glanced at him cautiously and said, "The Eighth Prince was waiting for King Ruyang outside the capital of Qin yesterday morning, and he even used his own body temperature to warm the wine, so he caught the cold."
Emperor Qin's heart was tightened and he stood up: "Show me the You'an Mansion."
Zhao Gan was stunned and quickly followed.
"promise."
In You'an Mansion, Zhang Long stood in front of the bed and said softly: "To report to the Eighth Prince, Chun Yuxian, the prince's teacher, was not strict in teaching, so he was ordered to cut off his hair as a warning to others."
