Chapter 387
Chen Shilang said: "Emperor, according to the laws and regulations, resisting the order is a crime of great disrespect, and he should be killed in accordance with the crime!"
"Your Majesty, never!" The general Gao Butian stepped out and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, General Feifeng has made great contributions to pacifying Dongzhe and committed the crime of resisting the order. He should be confused for a moment, and ask the emperor to be kind."
Chen Shilang said coldly: "General Gao, what you mean is that if you have made meritorious service for the country, you can do whatever you want and offend the king with merit? If so, wouldn't the court be in chaos? You are so brave!"
General Gao was not good at speaking. When he heard his rebuke, he couldn't help but blush and defended: "Your Majesty, I don't mean this. I just asked the emperor to be kind. Although the crime of resisting the order should be punished, there is no precedent for pardon. I would like to ask the emperor to make countless contributions to the country, so I will make a fuss! "
Mr. Lu also came out and said: "Emperor, General Gao's words are not without reason. General Feifeng's resistance was because he did not filial piety for his grandmother. Unfilial piety is naturally a crime, but this is probably a different story. Please let the emperor take a clear understanding!"
When the generals of the guards saw that the young army of Lu stood up, he also said, "Emperor, General Feifeng has always been loyal and loyal, and he will never resist the order rashly. There must be hidden information. Please ask the emperor to issue an order to investigate."
Lord Zhu also said: "Please go online!"
These people stood up and spoke for Jinning, which surprised Minister Chen.
These are all old foxes. They shouldn't say anything they shouldn't have said, for fear of causing trouble.
Why did you stand up and speak for Chen Jinning today?
Probably, it was my father-in-law who paid the money to walk around for her.
In the past, Mr. Chen would never dare to offend the three of them.
However, now it is difficult to get rid of the tiger, and at this critical moment, if you retreat, you will feel guilty and will be looked down upon by your colleagues who have been with the early alliance.
Therefore, he whispered loudly: "You are right, and the emperor's grace is indeed great, and there are precedents for pardon. However, General Feifeng cannot pardon. Her unfaithfulness and unfiliality are already contrary to the teachings of Taizu. The emperor gave her a chance, and she gave up on her own. If the emperor forgives her again, wouldn't she say that she thinks that the emperor has made a great contribution and the emperor is helpless to her? If he is so arrogant, will it not be a turmoil in the court?"
He knelt down and said resolutely: "Emperor, General Feifeng's unfaithfulness and filial piety must not be encouraged. It must be severely punished. Please punish the emperor!"
The emperor listened to Mr. Chen's generous speech calmly, and felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Mr. Chen's move is suspected of killing all the people.
Seeing that the emperor had not spoken, Chen was worried and continued: "Emperor, I am relatives of General Feifeng, and I want to prove her great disrespect in the court. I am heartbroken. I am so sad that I can eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries. I am afraid that once this case begins, all officials will follow suit. Where is the emperor's authority? Where is the emperor's majesty?"
The emperor then spoke slowly, "This matter will be discussed in advance. I want to say something to you all my dear friends today."
Mr. Chen was secretly surprised and wondered. When he talked about Chen Jinning, why did the emperor talk about the matter? Could it be that the emperor did not intend to punish her?
All the officials were also a little surprised. In the morning court, the emperor once occasionally talked about gossip and had emotional moments, but they usually only talked after discussing the main affairs.
I just started the courtship shift for less than a while, and I started talking about General Feifeng before I even finished talking about it.
"I still remember that when I ascended the throne, I was worried about internal and external chaos. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's uncle assisted me, so I was considered to have firmly placed on the throne. Can I be stable? Unstable, even today, I cannot say that the country is stable. My Great Zhou is poor and the nations bully him. My Great Zhou is rich and the nations covet. Whether it is a peaceful and prosperous era or a chaotic war, military generals always stand on the border town of my Great Zhou, guarding every inch of my Great Zhou, and guarding every citizen of my Great Zhou. Do you still remember that the Emperor's uncle awarded more than 20 military generals in one fell swoop?"
General Gao couldn't help but sigh when he heard the emperor talk about the past, "I remember that I spent a lot of money on the treasury due to the war, which also led to the people's misfortune. The meritorious ministers who made meritorious people were awarded no rewards, so they all had titles, and my father was also named Marquis of Ding'an by the Regent!"
"So General Gao remembers that what kind of war was sealed?"
"When I returned to the emperor, it was Lu Erwan who fought against the Xianbei. After five years of fighting, both sides were exhausted. At that time, General Zhen led 100,000 soldiers to fight, and only more than 30,000 people came back. After the victory, almost all the generals above the sixth rank were injured. This battle was also the ultimate battle with the Xianbei. The Xianbei surrendered and paid tribute every year. From then on, the border was peaceful, and our Zhou Dynasty had to rest and recuperate, and the people could live a peaceful and peaceful life."
The emperor nodded, "Yes, this peace was exchanged for my soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty with blood. I remember that the late emperor had not passed away, but he was seriously ill and I had not ascended the throne yet. The regent invited triumphant generals in the palace. More than thirty people entered the palace in a mighty manner, and each of them was injured. I remember that Duke Chen had injured his legs and entered the palace with a crutch."
The old ministers present still remembered the events of that year.
I hope the battle will stop for a long time, and when the news of victory comes back, the whole country is jubilant.
This celebration banquet is a celebration of the king and his subjects.
Mr. Chen didn't know what happened back then, but he also knew that the old ministers present had a bond of affection for the heroes of that year. Now when the emperor talked about Chen Jinning's father, he wondered if he wanted to pardon her?
In desperation, he said: "Your Majesty, it was true that the Duke of the Kingdom of Punishment was indeed a meritorious person. However, he could not pardon General Feifeng for his meritorious person. If this were the case, wouldn't he be the son of a meritorious minister? If he committed crimes in the future, he could escape the criminal responsibility of his ancestors?"
The emperor said lightly: "I have said that I will not discuss the matter of General Feifeng for the time being. Are you deaf? "
Although this was not angry, the last sentence was already a question.
Minister Chen was silent at the moment and dared not say anything more.
After the emperor's eyes flashed, he continued, "I was still a young man back then, but I will always remember that scene. In recent years, some veterans have died in battle or died of illness one after another. I feel uncomfortable when I think of their bright and bright record. Last night, another general left me, and I feel deeply sad!"
All officials were stunned, General? Who?
The emperor said: "This general, you probably only remember his inner courtyard joke. How can you still remember that he once fought for the country?"
The emperor mentioned Duke Chen just now, and now he was talking about the joke in the inner courtyard. Everyone guessed that Duke Chen was dead?
Why is it so sudden?
I heard that I was injured in Dongzhe. Could it be that my injury has not healed?
"Your Majesty, does it seem like a prince?" asked Lord Zhu.
The emperor nodded slowly and looked at Mr. Chen, "Do you know this?"
Minister Chen said in a daze: "I...I don't know!"
"Don't you know? It's you who killed him, don't you know?" the emperor asked again.
"My..." Mr. Chen was shocked, "What did I do? I have never harmed him."
A memorial was thrown directly from the front of the emperor and threw it on the face of Mr. Chen. The emperor's face finally stopped calming, but was furious, "The one who killed him was you, the messenger!"
