Chapter 405 What is a fine?I'm downgrading!

Chapter 405

When King Zhou heard that King Chu was arrested, he also sighed, while the other vassal kings looked at King Zhou, because only King Zhou knew Jiajing's thoughts best, after all, he was on the capital side.

"Prince Zhou, won't the emperor punish Zhang Hao?" King Shen Zhu Tianhuan immediately went to King Zhou and asked.

"Hasn't Zhang Hao been arrested now?" King Zhou asked back,
Shen Wang nodded, and then asked: "What does the emperor mean by this move? Is it going to cut down the feudal clan?"

"No, the emperor didn't have the idea of ​​cutting the vassal at all. In fact, it was something they tossed about. Originally, the emperor wanted to clean up the king of Jin. After all, you know what happened in the capital last year, but those vassal kings thought too much. Too much, I thought the emperor would take care of those vassal kings, but in fact the emperor didn’t have this idea at all, now that the king of Chu is dead, and those vassal kings were also arrested by Jin Yi, since they were arrested, they must be punished !” Zhou Wang sat there and said.

"Hey, hey!" The vassal kings all sighed when they heard it.
Then I saw some carriages coming in the distance, escorted by Jin Yiwei.

Those people just stared in this direction, and after a while, they saw those vassal kings being escorted down by Jin Yiwei and walking towards Yuxi Palace.

"This!" The feudal kings saw this scene, and they all looked at it in shock.And the vassal king who was escorted over saw so many vassal kings staring at this side, he also sighed, and followed the Jin Yiwei inside.

"Let's go, let's not delay!" Zhou Wang said, and then those people walked inside, and Zhou Wang was carried by the Jin Yiwei at the door in a soft sedan chair.

Soon, those people arrived at Danfang's side, and Zhang Rong was also here now. After Zhang Rong heard the news, he rushed over immediately.

"Your Majesty, those people outside have arrived!" Lu Fang went inside and reported to Jiajing.

"Are you here? Alright, go and call Zhang Hao over, just come here!" Jiajing nodded and said.

"Yes!" Lu Fang nodded and said,
Outside, there are now three princes standing in front, one is Prince Zhu Zaihe, the other is Prince Yu Zhu Zaihou, and the other is King Jing Zhu Zaizhen. The other feudal princes are standing behind, followed by Zhang Rong and the ministers.After Zhang Hao received the news from the prison cell, he also came out of the cell, and no one escorted him.
Zhang Hao walked towards the alchemy room in this way. After arriving at the alchemy room, those people saw Zhang Hao coming, and they were also taken aback for a while.Lu Fang stood at the door, saw Zhang Hao approaching, and immediately shouted: "The emperor let you in!"

The crown prince led the way inside, followed by the vassal kings, Zhang Hao, who went in last. When those people arrived at the alchemy room, they immediately kowtowed to Jiajing who was sitting on the Taoist platform, and Zhang Hao also kowtowed.

"Exemption. Please sit down. Zhang Hao, go to the back and make tea. Prince, King Yu, King Jing, you all go to the back and drink tea!" Jiajing sat there and said.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, and then went to the tea table,

And Zhu Zaihe also stood up, and followed Zhang Hao to the back. At the back, Zhang Hao sat on the main seat and started making tea. The crown prince, King Yu, and King Jing all looked at Zhang Hao.

"Tell me, now you all know that the King of Chu has been killed by Zhang Hao. Of course, if Zhang Hao kills the King of Chu, he must be punished. Now let's talk about the assassination of Zhang Hao by the King of Chu and you guys. , how to start, Zhang Hao killed the king of Chu, how to punish?
In addition, regarding King Jin, I know that you want to know the result. I will tell you right now that King Jin will be exempted from his rank and will be demoted to General Fengguo. In addition, the titles of other members of King Jin will be lowered by three ranks until they are demoted to civilians. , In addition, the people of the King Jin family have no bonus within ten years. After ten years, it depends on their performance to decide whether to give it. What's your opinion on this?
Oh, by the way, King Jin must die, and the title of King Jin will be inherited by his son! " Jiajing sat there and said.

"Ah!" When those people heard it, they all looked at Jiajing in surprise.

"Originally, I wanted to abolish the titles of the entire King Jin line, King Yi, King Heng, King Qin, and King Han, you go and explain to them!" Jiajing sat there and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The four princes all stood up, cupped their hands and said, and then everyone looked at King Qin, King Qin is respected, he must have spoken first.

The King of Qin then told the vassal kings about the siege of the capital last year and the loss after the siege of the capital, and explained why King Jin had to die. If King Jin did not die, then no one would dare to do so in the future.
And when King Qin finished explaining, Jiajing sat on it and asked, "If you have any other opinions, you can share them together!"

Those princes look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, Jiajing has already made a decision, what else to say?
"Well, let's talk about the King Chu's affairs. The King Chu's crime is not worthy of death. Therefore, Zhang Hao must bear the responsibility for the death of King Chu!" Jiajing continued,
When those people heard it, they looked at Zhang Hao who was making tea in the back. Is this the person who should bear the responsibility?It's not that he was arrested, why is he still making tea here.Then those feudal lords immediately thought that Jiajing had no intention of punishing Zhang Hao at all.

"Tell me, how should you be punished?" Jiajing looked at the king of Shu and asked them. The captured vassal kings also knelt down immediately, looked at Jiajing and kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, the emperor, and so on. Bewitched by the King of Chu!"

"Bewitched by the King of Chu?" Jiajing squinted at them after hearing this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Chu has been asking us to assassinate Zhang Hao, saying that if Zhang Hao is not dead, we vassal kings will have a hard time. Zhang Hao has arrested the members of King Jin's family, and he will be able to arrest us in the future!" The King of Shu immediately said. Looking at Jiajing said.

"Huh? Why did I arrest you? You don't smuggle or treason, why should I arrest you?" Jiajing looked at them and asked, pretending to be confused.

"Huh?" The vassal kings were also stunned when they heard it. It seems that Jiajing really didn't mean it.

"I have said many times that King Jin was arrested, and you have also seen the Di Bao. It is because he violated the national law, and the national law does not allow it. Can't I arrest them?" Jiajing stared at them and questioned.

"Back to the emperor, the king of Jin really deserves to die!" The king of Shu immediately changed his tune.

"Well, let's talk about your affairs now. You assassinated a Marquis. You were so courageous. According to the law, you should rob your house, behead it, and your family members will also be exiled. But you are princes, and there are still so many princes. Tell me, what should I do with you?" ?” Jiajing stared at them and continued to ask.

Those vassals just look at me and I look at you.

"You ministers, I called you over last night to let you think about how to punish? Do you have an idea?" Jiajing asked.Those ministers look at me and I look at you.

Zhang Rong saw that those people did not speak, so he stood up: "Your Majesty, I have an opinion!"

"Well, tell me!" Jiajing nodded when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, everyone, it was indeed a mistake for my son to kill the king of Chu, but because the king of Chu assassinated him first, my son killed him later, no matter what, my son shouldn't die, but he is guilty, so, my son The opinion is that Zhang Hao has been demoted to a commoner, so all the participating princes will be demoted two levels and become generals of the country!" Zhang Rong stood there with firm eyes and said.

"Ah, this, this!" The feudal lords heard this, and looked at Zhang Rong in shock. This punishment was very serious.

"This is only fair. If my son made a mistake, he must be punished. If you make mistakes, you must also be punished. If you assassinate my son, nothing will happen!" Zhang Rong stood there, looking at the vassal kings and said.

"Your Majesty, is this a little serious?" Qin Wang stood up, looked at Jiajing and said.

"Then what suggestion do you have, let's hear it!" Jiajing didn't express his opinion in a hurry, and asked King Qin.

"Back to the emperor, is it better to punish the salary?" King Qin immediately looked at Jiajing and asked tentatively.

"Punish the salary? Are you kidding me? Can this kind of mistake be solved by punishing the salary? If so, can I also punish the salary if my son kills the King of Chu?" Zhang Rong immediately retorted.

"Yes, of course!" King Qin nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Yes, Duke of England, of course!" The lords immediately said yes.

"No, why? They want to assassinate me, there's nothing wrong with it, right? Otherwise, I'll give you 50 taels from the emperor, and you let me kill them!" Zhang Hao immediately stood up and shouted at Jiajing.

"Shut up for me, did I let you talk? You are drinking your tea there!" Jiajing immediately turned his head and shouted at Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, they bully people!" Zhang Hao shouted, pointing at those vassal kings.

"Shut up, I didn't greet you, you are not allowed to speak, if you say something, 10 taels!" Jiajing warned Zhang Hao, then turned his head, looked at the princes and said: "Zhang Hao disagrees, what should I do? That kid If he has money, he may really throw 50 taels in front of me, and then go kill people!"

"Ah?" The vassal kings heard this and looked at Jiajing in surprise.

"Tell me about other plans, so that both Zhang Hao and you can accept them!" Jiajing then said to them.

Those vassals look at me, I look at you, they thought, fines are enough, if they are demoted, they will lose a lot.

"Your Majesty, I'm downgraded by two ranks, they're downgraded by two ranks!" Zhang Hao still stood there and shouted.

"You, 10 taels!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao and shouted angrily.

"10 taels is 10 taels!" Zhang Hao took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and started counting the money, then took the money and walked towards Jiajing.

And those people all looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded, this kid actually carried so much money with him.

"Your Majesty will give you the money, and I will apply for demotion!" Zhang Hao stood there, put the money on the table above the altar, and said to Jiajing.
