Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 19 Either don't do it or do it!
The faint candlelight swayed gently, making Wei Boyu's face pale and bloodless, but his momentum did not decrease but increased. After arranging his clothes, he shook his head and said:

"What the crown prince said, this method is also betting on Dajing and Daoism, but it's just stewed meat with a slow knife, Boyu disagrees.

Firstly, I, Dajing, can’t wait that long. My Dajing Kingdom is not a sect of cultivating Taoism, and the people of Dajing Kingdom are not cultivators. 100 years is too long. It's absolutely impossible. Didn't His Highness hear that 'it's easy to ask God to send God away'? "

He snorted coldly and said: "As for the tens of thousands of Taoist believers that His Highness said is even more ridiculous, how can people who chase fame and fortune really die for the Taoist sect?
Once the upper layer is overturned, they will surely fall down and scatter. At that time, it will not be the fish on my Dajing chopping board, let me slaughter it! "

Why is this person so obsessed with the deadly logic, Xia Houchun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what, it's a fact that I, Dajing, can't fight against the Daoist sect, and it's even more impossible to complete my achievements in one battle. It's the right way to fight every step of the way!"

Wei Boyu pursed his lips, and said stubbornly: "If you compromise once, you will compromise countless times; if you bend down once, you will never be able to straighten up again."

His eyes were cold and stern, and he said word by word: "Either don't do it, or do it absolutely!"

Arguing endlessly with Wei Boyu was not Xia Houchun's purpose, he came here to convey a message to some royal officials in the court on behalf of his father: Our Majesty has not really compromised.

You can only wait for the future if you leave this useful body.

Before leaving, Xiahou Chun said: "Don't worry, Minister Wei, the people in the Wei Mansion are fine."

After a moment of silence, Wei Boyu said in a shy voice, "It's an honor for me, Mrs. Wei, to die for the country."

In fact, he didn't blame Xia Houchun and his son, because he knew that the ones who really killed him were those Taoist slaves.

Walking out of the dungeon, the sky was dim, and behind him He Yan said softly to the two servants: "Does the prince want to eat? The department has prepared a few cakes, which must suit the prince's appetite."

Xia Houchun, who is from the north and the prime minister from the south, shook his head and said, "Give those cakes to the children in Weifu."

He Yan's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Prince, this is not good, after all, it is the family of the guilty minister."

Xia Houchun paused, turned around, looked straight at He Yan, and said word by word: "If the servant of the guard has not been convicted and executed for a day, he will still be the servant of my Dajing official department!
What's more, according to the law of Jing, even if a heinous crime is committed, as long as his relatives have not participated in it, he cannot be implicated in it. Doesn't the Ministry of punishment know about these things? "

He Yan even has the ability to do it on his own, how could he be afraid of the prince's reprimand, he just said lightly: "Your Majesty has an order to search the evidence of crimes in the Weifu, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice still doesn't know whether they are involved, so we can only watch and detain them first."

With a movement of his eyes, he said quietly to Xia Houchun: "Your Highness wants to intercede for those women and children in the Wei Mansion, yes, but you are begging the wrong person."

Behind him, Bao Youzheng's eyes twitched. These words were obviously suspected of sowing discord and dividing Xia Houchun and his son.

After Xiahou Chun took a deep look at He Zhen, he flung his sleeves and left. Now that there is mud and sand, he can't tell who is good and who is bad. Even he doesn't know who is the imperial party and who is the Taoist minion.

Seeing the crown prince leaving angrily, He Yan waved his hands and said, "Dispose of those cakes, so as not to be caught by the pigtails."

Zhu Chenggou nodded slightly. He had no hope of making meritorious deeds, so he was not disappointed.

On the other hand, Bao Youzheng's heart was suffocated, he couldn't help but glanced at them, and asked, "What's wrong with the pastry?"

He Yan walked away with his hands behind his back, Zhu Chenggou glanced at him, sneered and said nothing.

what happened? "The prince took advantage of the chance to visit the prison according to the order, and privately met with three senior members of the Criminal Department, and accepted their bribes in order to reduce the crime of the guilty minister Wei Boyu and save him from death." How about this crime?
Just give those censors a smell, and they can suck out your bone marrow.

Outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Liu Wenzhen, who was waiting tremblingly, saw the crown prince come out, and felt a little relieved. She choked up tears and said, "Oh, my little ancestor, you have finally come out!"

"I'm worried about the dead servant!"

"If you have an accident, the life of this servant will be gone."

On the contrary, Xia Houchun looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Then do you care more about your own life, or my life?"

Liu Wenzhen spoke with certainty and authenticity: "Your Highness is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can it be compared with such a humble life as a slave girl, if there is a chance or two, this slave girl is willing to die and be loyal to His Highness, so as to honor the loyalty and righteousness in my maidservant's belly!"

Xia Houchun pointed at the other party and smiled, "You old bastard, you are so smooth and round."

Then he looked back at the word 'Department of Punishment' on the plaque, which was a bit dazzling under the glow of the morning glow.

With a sigh in his heart, he thought to himself, Minister Wei, I'm sorry.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Show me your car, go back to the palace."

This time, when I came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I brought the guard of honor here, so majestic and majestic.

Liu Wenzhen immediately yelled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Luan will drive back to the palace, those who are idle will give way!"

After returning to the palace, Xia Houchun was shocked when he learned that the emperor was in the Qilin Hall, where the portraits of the late emperor's heroes were enshrined, as well as the tomb plaque of the late emperor's spiritual throne.

It seems that the defeat of the court's beheading today made my father a little disheartened.

After thinking about it for a while, he told Liu Wenzhen, "Go back to the bedroom and fetch that piece of precious jade from my palace."

Liu Wenzhen left at the sound, walking quickly.

However, when he walked outside the Qilin Hall, there were already two teenagers kneeling and waiting.

They are exactly Xia Houchun's two younger brothers, but they were born of two concubines.

Xia Houchun narrowed his eyes slightly, jumped over the two brothers, and asked in a low voice to the old eunuch guarding the gate: "How long has Father been in?"

The old eunuch is Emperor Jing's great companion, and also the 'artifact of the country' left by the late emperor, he sighed softly: "Your Majesty entered the palace after the court, until now."

Xia Houchun thought, that is, he went in when he just left the palace.

He whispered: "I'll go in and have a look."

Seeing that the old eunuch hesitated, Xia Houchun shook his head and said, "No one can persuade him except me."

After the old eunuch glanced at him, he nodded slightly, and then gave way.

As for the two princes kneeling at the door, they were still stopped outside.

The older one looked up at Xia Houchun entering the hall, pursed his lips and said nothing; the younger brother's eyes rolled around, looking innocent.

After Xia Houchun entered the hall, he saw Emperor Jing kneeling in front of the late emperor's spiritual throne. He silently walked half a step behind him and knelt down silently.

After a while, a shy voice sounded in the hall: "Why did he scold you?"

After Xia Houchun knocked his head respectfully nine times, he replied softly: "The guard didn't scold you, but he just thought you were too introverted."

He paused, and continued: "In his opinion, I, Dajing, should fight to the death with the Daoist sect, otherwise there will be fear of subjugation of the country and extinction of the species."

"The minister retorted with the words of 'the Taoist sect is powerful, heaven and man are hard to match, and the war will disrupt the country', but he still couldn't dispel his stubborn obsession."

He hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "After all, the Wei family is a powerful family in the country. Killing Wei Boyu alone is enough to calm the anger of the Daoists, so there is no need to involve too much."

Emperor Jing turned his head slightly and asked, "Do you really think that the death of Wei Boyu will settle this matter?"
