Yang Guang's face turned green. He was so aggrieved that it was impossible to refute. He could only feel pairs of eyes staring at him. He helplessly glared at Zhao Kuangyin.0
Xuanyuan, Emperor of Human replied, "The reward and punishment are only the same. Although the Youzhou Warrior Ninth Brother did not participate, he was the one behind all this, so the reward is one hundred thousand gold."
When Liu Che and Zhao Kuangyin heard this, they also knew that the so-called reward was formal. How could Prince of Ning care about money? However, this reward had some face! Liu Che, Zhao Kuangyin, smiled and said in unison, "This son thanks Imperial Father on behalf of Ninth Brother!"
The Human Emperor paused, "As for Prince of Sui, I don't know how to command the military. He almost committed a grave mistake and was reduced to a lower grade!"
Yang Guang spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been demoted again, but there was nothing he could do. He had already signed the military order: "This son accepts the decree."
Now, besides Zhu Yuanzhang, he was the one with the lowest title among all the princes. He swore to himself that he would leave the Imperial City as soon as possible after the next dynasty. When he saw Shen Muqing circling around the Imperial City, he had no other choice. Shen Muqing had forced him to such a state.
Ji Chang, the Prince of Wen watched on coldly. Only then did he step forward and say, "Since Fourth and Seventh Brother have already done the work for Ninth Brother and Gongsun Zan, who would take the blame?"
Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Che looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Liu Che asked, "What mistakes did Ninth Brother have?"
Then, he stopped Ji Chang and coldly snorted, "Reporting to royal father, I have a joint book with over a hundred officials, and they want to consult Gongsun Zan."
These words were like a pebble on the calm lake surface, immediately causing great waves and great waves. The alliance of over a hundred officials of the Youzhou was not a small matter, it was equivalent to the entire Youzhou.
The Human Emperor also revealed a grave expression: "Gongsun Zan has rendered meritorious services, what crime has he committed?"
Ji Chang said angrily: "Imperial Father does not know, before this, because of the confrontation between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, Liu Yu used the following crimes to strip Gongsun Zan of his military authority. This time, Gongsun Zan led his personal guards to slaughter their way into the Youzhou, and kidnapped the civil officials to seize the military medallion."
The civil and military officials sucked in a breath of cold air. Including Ying Zheng and the others, they all praised Gongsun Zan for his audacity. How dare he kidnap officials and seize military power!
Ji Chang said, "After Gongsun Zan took control of the army, he marched into the city with great force and had the family donate food and valuables, causing a lot of bloodshed and losing the prestige of our government. His actions and bandits are unquestionable, and he must be punished.
The civil and military officials were dumbfounded. They also knew why Ji Chang was so confident. Gongsun Zan's actions had indeed surpassed the law. Liu Che and Zhao Kuangyin also frowned, not daring to defend Gongsun Zan.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian said, "Did Prince of Wen forget? Prince of Ning has already asked for an edict for Gongsun Zan to be excused from the crime. It's too late to take it back now. With this edict, there will be no more crimes against Gongsun Zan. Could it be that His Majesty is going to go back on his word? "
Ji Chang paused and became a bit dazed. The officials also remembered that Shen Muqing had asked for an edict of exemption at the assembly. At that time, they didn't know why Shen Muqing did that.
This time, he understood that Shen Muqing expected this to happen, so he did it. It was brilliant, brilliant! Everyone admired Shen Muqing from the bottom of their hearts. Liu Che and Zhao Kuangyin were relieved. They admired Shen Muqing's mental fortitude.
If Gongsun Zan had committed the crime before the edict was issued, the imperial government could sentence him to death. Now that the edict was issued, no one could stop Gongsun Zan anymore.
