The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 836 Han Fei was demoted [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"However, Han Fei is unable to control his own family, and he might have offended the nobles of the Imperial Guards!"

Zhao Gao immediately thought of it.

In the palace, Fusu and Zhao Jia went to see Yan Yan first.

"Please explain it!" Yan Yan said coldly.

"It has nothing to do with you, sir. It was all my idea!" Zhao Jia grabbed Fusu who was about to speak and took all the blame on himself.

When Yan Yan left, he let Fusu govern the country.

This kind of thing had a huge impact on Fusu.

Even if the news spread to the Qin State, the Qin State would think that Fusu was putting personal feelings above the laws of the country, which would leave a stain on Fusu's future return to the Qin State.

As Fusu's teacher, he could not allow Fusu to have any stain on him.

"Reason!" Yan Yan's voice was cold.

"I can't beat him, and I can't stop him!" Zhao Jia didn't take all the blame on himself, but put it all on Wei Zhuang.

"Why don't you mobilize the Imperial Guards and notify the Imperial Guards?"

"The Imperial Guards are your Majesty's personal guards. No one can mobilize them except your Majesty."

"You've cleared the blame for yourself!" Yan Yan snorted coldly.

Zhao Jia was still sober and knew that he could not mobilize the Yulin Guards, otherwise he would be committing an even greater crime.

"Deduct three months' salary and give him five lashes!" Yan Yan continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the five lashes seem lighter than Dianqing’s thirty lashes of the cane, those who understand know that flogging is more severe than caning.

The severity of caning can also be determined by the executioner's technique.

Caning is a real form of punishment, and there are only two types: heavy and severe.

Soon, the executioner took Zhao Jia away to be executed.

"You go and watch too, open your eyes and see clearly!" Yan Yan said to Fusu.

Fusu stood up and followed Yan Yan to watch Zhao Jia being put on the execution rack and tortured.

Yan Yan personally brought Fusu to watch the execution, and even if the executioner wanted to let him go, he didn't dare to.

Every time the whip fell, a scarlet blood mark appeared on Zhao Jia's back, accompanied by Zhao Jia's screams of pain.

The pain of flogging would be so severe that even if Dian Qing were to be punished, he would not be able to endure it without screaming.

Fusu couldn't bear it and wanted to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Yan Yan.

"If you open your mouth, Zhao Jia's five lashes will be in vain!" Yan Yan reminded Fusu.

Fusu finally remained silent and did not speak again.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

"Personal feelings should not be placed above the laws and dignity of the empire!" Fusu also knew where he made a mistake this time.

They wanted to bring Wei Zhuang and Hong Lian together, but they chose the wrong method.

After all, the royal palace was the center of power in Bingzhou, not a place for romance.

"Wrong!" Yan Yan shook his head in disappointment.

"This isn't your fault!"

"Your mistake is that you have lost your awe of power and your guard against others!"

"You are the future of Qin and the hub of the friendly relations between Qin and Bing."

"Have you ever thought about who Wei Zhuang is and who Hong Lian is?"

"They are all Koreans, they are Korean generals and princesses, and they have a grudge against Qin for destroying their families and their country!" "If Honglian and Wei Zhuang are a trap, then you are dead!"

"Have you ever thought about this: if you die in Bingzhou, how many people will be buried with you?"

"Once you die in Bingzhou, the relationship between Qin and Bing will break down, tens or even millions of Qin and Bing troops will go to war, and millions of people will be caught up in the flames of war because of your death, their families will be broken up, and they will be displaced!"

Fusu looked at Yan Yan in horror, and was also frightened.

He forgot that Honglian and Wei Zhuang were both Koreans, and mistakenly thought that Honglian was his good friend, and thus also thought of Wei Zhuang as his own.

If Wei Zhuang really wanted to kill him, and they allowed Wei Zhuang to enter and leave the Eastern Palace at will, he would have died many times.

Once he dies in Bingzhou, everything Yan Yan said will become reality.

"Similarly, you have lost your respect for power. I understand that you want to help them, but that is based on the premise of not undermining the dignity and laws of the country."

"What did you do? You colluded with the Imperial Guards and allowed Wei Zhuang to break into the palace at night time and time again."

"This time it was because of Honglian and Wei Zhuang, what about next time?"

"Will it be because someone close to you breaks the law next time, and then will you put pressure on the Imperial Court to make it bend the law for personal gain, thus destroying the dignity that the empire has worked so hard to establish?"

"Even until now, you are still thinking about how to make me let Wei Zhuang go!"

Yan Yan said sternly again.

Fusu's body trembled. He was really thinking about asking Yan Yan to let Wei Zhuang go.

"Power is given to the emperor and the court by the people. It is not only used to restrain the people, but also to restrain those in power."

“Always be in awe of power!”

"I understand that you want to help Wei Zhuang and Hong Lian, but the Beiye Royal Court is so big, why can't we go anywhere else? Why do you have to go to the Royal Palace? Can you help them or something?"

Yan Yan's tone slowed down a bit.

"Fusu knows his mistake!"

Fusu lowered his head. There were many ways, but they chose the least appropriate method.

After the five beatings, the soldiers hurriedly helped Zhao Jia down, but Zhao Jia's face was pale and he couldn't even speak.

"Send him back to the East Palace and let the imperial physician treat him!" Yan Yan waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Zhao Jia back.

"Tomorrow, you and the Supreme Court will judge Wei Zhuang together!" Yan Yan continued.

"I... okay!" Fusu hesitated for a moment, and seeing Yan Yan's unquestionable look, he finally nodded.

"Go back!" Yan Yan waved his hand and asked Fusu to follow Zhao Jia back to the East Palace.

"After all, it's still a bit too merciful!" Looking at Fusu's departing back, Yan Yan sighed.

They have protected Fusu too well over the years, making Fusu think that the world is all about kindness. He is unable to control his emotions and lacks some iron-blooded tactics.

"Send a message to General Meng Tian, ​​the Internal Affairs Minister, and Commander Han Xin, the Red Flame Cavalry, to return to the Beiye Royal Court!" Yan Yan said, turning around.

"Yes!" Mo Ya released a Saker Falcon and called Meng Tian and Han Xin back to the Beiye Royal Court.

After receiving the news, Meng Tian and Han Xin did not dare to hesitate and rode back to the Beiye royal court that night.

The next day, there was no court meeting, but Han Fei still came to the palace and took Honglian with him to apologize.

An Qisheng sat on the side and watched quietly, as if he had nothing to do with it.

He had long felt that Wei Zhuang's behavior was inappropriate, but because it had little impact, he didn't care.

"For failing to discipline his subordinates, you will be demoted to the position of Hetao Chief Justice and Censor, and assume the position of Chief Justice and Censorate!" Yan Yan issued the punishment for Han Fei.

Han Fei performed the ritual. As the drafter and enforcer of Bingzhou laws, he broke the law knowingly, so he was punished the most severely among all the people.

If there was no suitable candidate in Bingzhou, he would probably have been demoted directly and would not have been able to assume the power of the Chief of the Judicial and Surveillance Commissioner.
