Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

"No... Your Majesty... the minister enters the palace... what?" Seeing that the king misunderstood that he and Zhao Qu were walking together, Liang Yuming quickly explained, but before he could say anything, he was distracted by the word 'slap', Who was slapped? Qiongshi? Qiongshi has always been well-behaved, how could she be slapped? Earlier I heard that Liu Jiang's daughter was an aunt in the palace. Could it be that Qiongshi made some mistakes in the palace? As for being slapped by my aunt! Concern is confusing, Liang Yuming suddenly couldn't figure out whose daughter made the mistake, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately asked for forgiveness, "My lord, if Qiongshi committed a serious mistake, I beg you to forgive me online." ."

Seeing Liang Yuming pleading for pardon, Xu Zhaoping glanced at Liu Jiang, but Liu Jiang was too shocked by the scene in front of him to cope.

"What if it's a capital crime?" Xu Zhaoping said lightly.

"Then... I beg the Holy Majesty Xu Chen to replace him with his body... no... the Holy Majesty should deal with it according to the law!" Liang Yuming kowtowed to the king.

"Huh?" Xu Zhaoping slowed down his speech, "Didn't the Tai Tuo cherish his daughter very much?"

"This..." Liang Yuming was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Liang Yuming was at a loss for words, Liu Jiang suddenly knelt down on the ground, "My lord! Liang Yuming is just afraid of death! I am willing to pay for the crime with my own body."

"General Liu, don't be in a hurry." Xu Zhaoping glanced at Liu Jiang, he was already sweating profusely, but it was not enough, she was still angry.The gaze shifted from Liu Jiang to Liang Yuming, she suddenly wanted to see how Liang Yuming treated Qiongshi, Xu Zhaoping took a deep breath, "Teacher Liang, are you afraid of death? Qiongshi committed a serious crime against the nine clans...you If it's true..."

"My lord! If I don't have a daughter, I will be alone. I lost my father when I was young, I lost my spouse when I was middle-aged, and I have even experienced a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. If I lose my daughter again, I am afraid that time will be difficult... But if In place of the daughter, under the overthrow of the nest, there are still eggs? His father died on the street, and his daughter An Kefei is expelled from the palace, or is left to live in the cold palace, why not let the old officials bury the bones?" Liang Yuming said Really, maybe someone has a home, ever since he left the palace gate and returned to Liang Mansion that day, he felt that Liang Mansion was inexplicably lonely.

The people present felt inexplicably sour after hearing Liang Yuming's words as if they were asking Gu.As the saying goes, it is not unreasonable to raise children to guard against old age.

"..." After listening to Liang Yuming's words, Xu Zhaoping suddenly felt that she had made a mistake. She thought that the Taifu would at most think of dying for Qiongshi, but she never thought that he had thought so far. It's okay...Xu Zhaoping sighed, "Teacher Liang, get up! Just now I just said casually, Qiongshi is still well."

"If Qiongshi is well, then please forgive Lord Liu!" Liang Yuming didn't get up immediately when he heard the king's words.

But hearing Liang Yuming's pleading, Liu Jiang felt very ashamed, and said directly to Xu Zhaoping, "My lord, the old minister will certainly apologize with death on behalf of his daughter... If the old minister is dead, it is only a handful of bones. Not too young, but being expelled from the palace and being helped by old ministers and old ministries, naturally she can marry into a good family..."

Xu Zhaoping looked at the lowered heads of Liu Jiang and Liang Yuming, and couldn't help but wonder why there was such a big difference between being a father and a daughter. Remember the imperial power? Xu Zhaoping thought of his throne and the past ten years, and couldn't help feeling bitter, "What if I want you two to die?"

"Then please let the old minister go first, the old minister..." Liu Jiang suddenly regretted that he had not disciplined Bo Xi strictly in the early years.

"General Liu, do you regret coming here today to ask for orders?" Xu Zhaoping sipped the last sip of tea in the bowl.

Regret to ask for an order? Liu Jiang glanced at the king sitting on the chair, "I don't regret it..."

"Um?"

"My lord!" Liu Jiang fell to his knees with a 'plop' when he heard the king's words, "If you let the old minister die, then the old minister will have no complaints, but the old minister's daughter is still young..."

24 Still young at five? Xu Zhaoping turned around and showed Liu Jiang a back view. She was ignorant at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she could force her to say that she was young. How could she be young after being promoted from a court lady to an aunt? Xu Zhaoping After thinking for a while, "General Liu, I think you have worked hard for Qian Guoyi, so your daughter doesn't have to face the wall and think about it, and just follow you to the frontier!"

"Ah?" Hearing that Xu Zhaoping let him go into exile, Liu Jiang kowtowed immediately, "Thank you...thank you... Your Majesty!"

"The journey of exile is bitter and cold. General Liu and Ms. Liu remember to add some clothes. As for General Liu's subordinates, wait for the officials to check and mend them!" Xu Zhaoping got up, it was getting late, and it was time to leave.

"Holy Majesty, Holy Ming!" Liu Jiang bowed and kowtowed slowly, for a moment he actually aged a little.

"Wait! Your Majesty!" Seeing that the king was about to leave, Liang Yuming hurriedly called to stop him, "General Liu cannot be exiled!"

"what?"

"There have been bandits in the northern city."

"Rogue bandits?" Xu Zhaoping frowned. Generally speaking, in the court, big things are always discussed, not small things. The report here must be that there is chaos in Nancheng.

"Yes, allegedly because of the food shortage."

Because of the food shortage? Xu Zhaoping recalled what the eunuch told her a few days ago that the north is cold in the north this spring, "Didn't the county guards in the northern city release food?"

"It is reported that the sheriff of Beicheng has been killed by the bandits." Liang Yuming fell to his knees again, "I beseech the Holy Lord to allow General Liu to take the crime and make meritorious service."

"No!" Xu Zhaoping raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Jiang, and walked slowly a few steps, "Liu Jiang's exile remains unchanged, as for Beicheng, Lu Ping will be appointed as the prefect of Beicheng, and he will lead an army of [-] in just a few days." Go to suppress the thief."

Upon hearing that Xu Zhaoping had sent Lu Ping, Liang Yuming immediately said, "Your Majesty! The people in Beicheng are innocent! Please, Your Majesty, order someone else instead."

Lu Ping is the king's confidant, but he is really too evil. Although he has outstanding military achievements, he has a quirk of massacring cities, and corpses are everywhere everywhere he goes.On weekdays, the king usually just gives him a job as a general judge, and does not assign him a real job.Liang Yuming did not expect that the king would actually use this person for Beicheng.

"Since there are bandits, how can there be innocent people!"

"My lord!" Liang Yuming saw that there was nothing he could do, and thinking of the oath made by the king when he accepted his concubine that day, he said endlessly, "I beg you to do good for Qiongshi..."

"Um?"

"A master and minister once said that although Qiongshi is blind, she can see ghosts..." Liang Yuming bit his head.

"Ghosts?" Xu Zhaoping has never believed in ghosts and gods. If there were ghosts and gods, how would she be able to sit on the throne, but last night Qiongshi's panic-stricken appearance made Xu Zhaoping hesitate. Thinking of the pear blossom with rain, Xu Zhaoping He took a deep breath, "Then change it to Chen Hui."

"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing that Xu Zhaoping had changed his mind, Liang Yuming breathed a sigh of relief, and told the sage that the master said that Qiongshi would see ghosts, but Qiongshi liked to watch ghosts when she was a child, so she found a Taoist to scare her.As for blindness, it was just a joke at the time, but it turned out to be a prophecy. Liang Yuming sighed, "What about Mr. Liu?"

"No change, exile!" Xu Zhaoping glanced at the three of them, seeing that it was already dark outside, and said, "Teacher Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, you go down first! Someone drag Liu Jiang down!"

Seeing Liu Jiang being dragged down, Liang Yuming sighed slightly. General Liu had spent half his life as a soldier, but he ended up like this. He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and immediately knelt down with the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, "Retire!"

"Get back!" Seeing that the side hall was empty, Xu Zhaoping immediately got up and turned to the back of the wall. There were two chairs behind the wall. Liang Qiongshi and Liu Boxi were both sitting with hot tea in their hands.

See the king is coming.Liu Boxi immediately put the teacup on the table at one side, and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty! Bo Xi is wrong. I beg you to let Bo Xi's father go!"
