Dahan first prince

Chapter 149 My mother is cranky?This is for the world!
"Xiao's blind date?"

In the morning of the next day, Taiwo Palace, Phoenix Palace.

Hearing the report from the little eunuch Chuntuo, Liu Ying couldn't help being taken aback, and her face became a little embarrassed.

——Although Liu Ying was not seriously injured in this assassination, the location of the injury is really embarrassing...

For now, Liu Ying is lying on her side on the soft couch, with a long cylindrical pillow behind her. Although the wound on her left rib has been bandaged, it is not covered with clothes.

To be precise: at this moment, Liu Ying has bare upper body...

If it is placed in later generations, at least it is a man, showing his upper body or something, although it is a bit indecent, but it will not make people stunned.

But in today's Han Dynasty, especially as the crown prince, Liu Ying, it is really not very convenient to show people the image of "exposing breasts and breasts".

But no, it doesn't seem to work either.

Firstly, the person who came to visit was the Prime Minister Xiao He, and there was a sense of 'apology and apology' in it. Even if Liu Ying was injured, it was inconvenient to turn Xiao He away.

Secondly, Liu Ying really needs to communicate with Xiao He to a certain extent regarding the rectification of the Tian family in Changling and the easing of grain prices in Guanzhong.

"Um······"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ying finally sighed helplessly.

"Please come here, Prime Minister Xiao."

She explained softly, and when Chuntuo took the order to leave, Liu Ying raised herself up with her right elbow and looked at the eunuch beside the soft couch.

"Take some more soft pillows and raise them higher."

·
"Sinner, see you at home..."

As soon as he entered the bedroom of the Phoenix Hall, Xiao He knelt down, bowed his hands to Liu Ying, and made a gesture of kowtowing.

Seeing that Liu Ying's face was a little anxious, but she was very honest and did not move, she only blinked at Chun Tuo who was beside her.

Having received Liu Ying's explanation a long time ago, Chuntuo just understood it, hurried forward, and supported Xiao He by his arm, but finally did not allow Xiao He to 'get what he wanted'.

When Xiao He straightened up with shame on his face, he saw Liu Ying smiled miserably, turned her head, and looked at her left rib which was still exposed.

"I've come to such a place alone, why don't Marquis Feng stay here alone, so that I don't want to kneel down and worship him?"

Hearing Liu Ying's slightly self-deprecating and slightly bitter ridicule, Xiao He couldn't help feeling guilty again.

"At home, my lord..."

Seeing Xiao He cupped his hands with guilt on his face, Liu Ying was lying on his side and stretched out his left hand a little.

When Xiao He stagnated, Liu Ying gave another stiff smile.

"It's really disrespectful to bear the wound alone, to show your breasts and show your face."

"Even so, Gu, I couldn't bear to reject Xiang Xiang from outside the hall."

"If Prime Minister Xiao came here, he just wanted to express his guilt and responsibility, why not return to himself, so that he can be at peace with Gu for a while..."

Saying this with a weak face, Liu Ying also smiled slightly, and looked at Xiao He with a little seriousness.

Beside Xiao He, the little eunuch Chuntuo even put on a posture ready to step forward at any time, waiting for Liu Ying to speak, and send Xiao He away.

Looking at Liu Ying's eyes looking at him, there was an inconspicuous but real kindness, Xiao He trembled his dry lips slightly, and was about to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Such a full ten breaths, when Liu Ying nodded with a kind smile on her face, Xiao He finally let out a long sigh full of desolation, and bowed deeply to Liu Ying.

"minister!"

"Thank you for coming..."

This time, Liu Ying did not signal Chuntuo who was at the side to step forward to help Xiao He up, but accepted Xiao He's gift calmly.

——After all, no matter what, Liu Ying was assassinated this time, and Xiao He couldn't get rid of the blame of "ineffective protection of the Lord".

If Liu Ying does not accept this gift, I am afraid Xiao He will not feel at ease.

After saluting, under the guidance of Chun Tuo, he came down to the position about five steps in front of the soft couch, and knelt down on a banquet table. The guilty expression on Xiao He's face finally retreated slowly.

After asking about Liu Ying's physical condition, Xiao He naturally brought the topic to the main topic.

"This time, regarding the assassination of the family member in Changling, the officials found out that the perpetrator was the Tian family of Changling!"

"Yesterday, the empress issued an order to my ministers: Tian's family, everyone, women, old and young, should not be judged and abandoned the city!"

Speaking of this, on Xiao He's face, there was also some palpitation subconsciously.

"At this moment, all the hundreds of members of Tian's family should have been taken to the outside of Dongshi by the court guards."

"It's only at noon, and I will ask to kill him when I know he is upright..."

Saying that, Xiao He couldn't help shaking his head with a complex expression, and sighed a little to himself.

Seeing Xiao He's attitude, Liu Ying thought about it for a while, and she also came back to it, so she shook her head and smiled.

"Runaway old lady, are you afraid that you will scare Waichao?"

With a slight slander in her heart, Liu Ying carefully adjusted her lying position, and looked at the sky from the gate of the palace.

"At noon..."

"Ah~"

With a long and leisurely sigh, Liu Ying's face was also slightly filled with exclamation.

"You sow your own cause, you should reap the fruit~"

"It's a pity that the old Tian Qi royal family will be lonely from now on..."

Hearing Liu Ying's reaction like this, Xiao He was taken aback for a moment.

After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, he finally looked at Liu Ying with hesitation.

"Doesn't everyone in the family feel that the queen is a little violent this time?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Xiao He's question, Liu Ying frowned in confusion, then saw Xiao He sighed again, and bowed to Liu Ying slightly.

"As a minister, I should not say such a word in order to alienate the mother-child relationship between the family and the empress."

"However, I think that you are a prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and you are trusted by His Majesty, so I have no choice but to say a word!"

When he said this resolutely, Xiao He's expression also became serious.

"This time, the Tian family sent soldiers to assassinate the family, follow the law, sit and plot rebellion, and become the family!"

"However, in today's "Han Law", the penalty for treason belongs to the three tribes of Yi; and the offender's distant relatives, concubines, Ding servants, young children who are young in the head of the general, and old people who are more than ancient, can be slightly reduced according to the circumstances. Punishment, think of Li Chen, concubine."

"Changling Tian's son, Ding Qiqi, and Ding 41, the son of the third concubine; if the crime of 'conspiracy' should be the death, it is these 58 people."

"However, according to the Queen's order, all the fields in the Changling Mausoleum, so the Fan family was assassinated and died, there are more than four hundred people..."

Having said that, Xiao He quietly changed the subject, looking at Liu Ying with a little temptation.

"The queen thinks that she is the birth mother of the family, and if the family is assassinated, the queen should be the murderer and hate her to the bone."

"However, as the saying goes: there are no rules, and there is no square or circle—the current empress is angry, and Katian's punishment..."

"Here, don't you think you might be disturbing the laws of the country because of your own personal anger?"

After saying that, Xiao He lowered his head worriedly, waiting for Liu Ying's reply.

And after hearing Xiao He's hint full of meaning, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He with a hint of meaning in her eyes.

——Tian, ​​what crime should be charged and what degree of punishment should be imposed?

Whether it is for Liu Ying, the prince of the supervisory country, or Xiao He, who compiled the "Han Law" by himself, this is self-evident.

——Assassinating the crown prince is better than stabbing the emperor in the same way. Sitting on the throne and plotting rebellion, you will be the barbarians!

But Liu Ying is equally sure: Xiao He must be very clear about how to define the "Three Yi Clans" in his mind.

Today's Han Dynasty is not a society ruled by law!
Whether the assassination of the prince should kill a household register, or implicate a village, a county, or even a surname and a family in the whole world, all depends on the emperor's words!

It is no exaggeration to say: the same thing happened 20 years ago, when the first emperor Yingzheng was still in power, if the crown prince was assassinated, no one would dare to stand up even if Yingzheng ordered that "everyone in the world should be killed". Say even one 'wrong'!
The reason is simple: In this era, whether something is right or wrong is not decided by the law, nor by morality, nor even by heaven or God!
In this era, the only thing that can define everything in the world and will be unconditionally recognized is the golden words of the emperor!

A little thief who once stole a grain of rice, the emperor said that he should be Ling Chi, so he must Ling Chi!

A frightening Jiangyang thief, if the emperor says he is innocent, he must be innocent!
As for Lu Zhi, who is the founding queen and the birth mother of Prince Liu Ying, it may not be Lu Zhi's turn to "speak the law" for other things.

But in the case of the assassination of the crown prince and his son Liu Ying, Lu Zhi, as the mother, naturally has the unlimited right to revenge against the murderer!
Not to mention expanding the scope of attack from the Tian clan to servants, young and old, even if Lu Zhi went down the road and slaughtered Changling, no one could make a mistake!

It can even be said: This is not only the power of Lu Zhi, but the moral universal value of this era, which is given to Lu Zhi, and even the obligation of every mother!

And Xiao He, as the founding prime minister, was the Yuan Cong who came out of Fengpei together with the emperor Liu Bang and the empress Lu Zhi. It is impossible not to know this.

In this way, the deep meaning implied in Xiao He's criticism of Lu Zhi's 'too violent' words is also obvious...

"Unfortunately······"

"In this life, I don't intend to fight alone..."

With a sinister smile in his heart, he looked at Xiao He meaningfully at Liu Ying, and sighed a little.

"Marquis Feng, have you ever heard that in extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words suddenly, Xiao He's expression froze for a moment.

Liu Ying let out another short sigh, then shook her head slightly.

""Zhou Li Qiu Guan Si Kou" said: Punishment disrupts the country, and heavy codes are used."

"According to the law, the Tian family's assassination of an orphan should only affect the relatives of the family; in the "Han Law", no one has ever been convicted. The whole family, old and young, women and children, and Ji Ding's servants are all punished for the crime."

"However, in today's Guanzhong, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to only follow the "Han Law" to determine the crimes of such troublesome people..."

After speaking, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He again, her face was full of solemnity.

"Right now, Emperor Father is leading the army outside. Although there is no major obstacle to the battle, the Chen Xi Rebellion has not yet been settled."

"I am so lonely that my father entrusted me with the responsibility of supervising the country, so I borrowed my father's power to suppress the chaos in Guanzhong!"

"At such a delicate time, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom is assassinated, and the country is in danger of being shaken. Xiang Xiang thinks, can the mastermind be convicted according to the "Han Law"?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying shook her head and smiled, looking at Xiao He, there was also some earnestness in her eyes.

"Xiao Xiang thinks that the empress mother's serious crimes against the Tian family are due to personal anger."

"However, the empress mother's good intentions are all about the stability of the society. Gu Zongmiao is the most important..."
