Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Zhu Pingan felt that the capital city, a place at the foot of the Emperor, was evil, one second he was still believing that his plea for mercy was sinking into the sea, and the next second the chamberlain from the West Garden to pass on the decree appeared in front of him, and the one who led the team was still an old acquaintance of his – Feng Bao.
“Little Lord Zhu, good to see you again.”Feng Bao smiled and arched his hand to greet Zhu Pingan.
“Haven’t seen you for a few days, Eunuch Feng is glowing and more elegant than ever.”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand to return the salute, the rest of his eyes instantly saw the bright yellow imperial decree held in the hands of the two small eunuchs behind Feng Bao, his heart instantly realised, and then his heartbeat could not help but accelerate with both anticipation and nervousness.
Although Zhu Pingan is still quite confident in his own zhangshi, but the Jiajing Emperor’s side of the variables are too big.
Concerning the life of Master Yang, Zhu Pingan couldn’t even think of not being nervous.
“Hehe, it is not thanks to the blessing of Lord Xiao Zhu’s brocade bag of tricks, the miscellaneous family has only been able to live a few good days in the palace.”Feng Bao smiled back, once again implicitly thanking Zhu Pingan for pointing him to the system of flipping the bedchamber, ever since the harem started to implement flipping the bedchamber, Feng Bao’s days have been getting better and better.
“Eunuch Feng has overstated his case, Ping An is too ashamed to do so. I merely provided an immature idea, everything is the result of Eunuch Feng’s own efforts.”Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, not taking credit in the slightest.
“Regardless of what you think, Lord Xiao Zhu, anyway, the miscellaneous family is mindful of this and will never forget it until death.”Feng Bao said in a serious manner, words from the bottom of his heart.
Er ……
Feng Bao so serious, but let Zhu Pingan heart a little embarrassed, at first I just hold the attitude of investment ……
“Eunuch, it is almost noon.”The small eunuch behind Feng Bao reminded Feng Bao in a small voice.
“Oh, almost forgot about the main event. I’m sure that Lord Xiao Zhu has already guessed the purpose of the miscellaneous family’s visit. The miscellaneous family has a good news and a bad news here, I don’t know which one does Ta-Jen Xiao Zhu want to hear first?”
Feng Bao, reminded by the little eunuch, remembered his errand for this trip and stopped the pleasantries and started to run his errand.
When he heard Feng Bao say that there was good news, Zhu Pingan could not help but breathe a slight sigh of relief in his heart, combining the circumstances of his own sangs, this good news in all likelihood would be about Master Yang …… that is, Master Yang’s life has been preserved ……
Zhu Pingan can’t help but be excited in his heart, as for the bad news, Zhu Pingan doesn’t take it seriously, how bad can the bad news be……
“Good news, of course we’ll listen to the good news first.”Zhu Pingan did not hesitate.
“The good news is that, after His Holiness finished reading little Zhu Ta-Jen’s your zang fu, he ordered the cabinet to prepare a decree to grant amnesty to the whole world! The decree will be sent out today. In addition to the ten evils and officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, depending on the severity of the crime, the living crime will be pardoned, although the death penalty can not be pardoned, but also can reduce the sentence, can be exempted from the death penalty. Little Zhu Taoshi you pleaded for mercy in the zhongsheng Yang Jisheng, is also in this line.”
Feng Bao smiled slightly and told the good news to Zhu Pingan.
Senior Yang’s life was saved!
It is fortunate that history can have Yang Jisheng again!
Although Zhu Pingan already had a guess in his heart, but at this moment, after hearing Feng Bao’s definitive conclusion, Zhu Pingan’s heart still could not help but feel a burst of joy and excitement as he said repeatedly, “Your holiness is wise, your holiness is wise ……”
“Ahem, Little Lord Zhu, after finishing the good news, then it’s time for the bad news. Little Lord Lord should be psychologically prepared.”Feng Bao waited for Zhu Pingan to finish his excitement, coughed and slowly spoke.
“Eunuch Feng please.”
Zhu Pingan nodded, as early as when I was drafting the zhengshi, I was already mentally prepared.
“The holy decree has arrived, Zhu Pingan receives the decree.”
Feng Bao turned around and took the imperial decree from the tray held by the small eunuchs following behind him, and became incomparably serious and earnest.
“Subject Zhu Pingan receives the imperial decree.”
Zhu Pingan saluted the holy decree in accordance with the decree receiving ceremony, kneeling down and kowtowing to receive the decree, there was no way, who let himself be in a feudal society.
“By the grace of heaven, the emperor said:Yu Wangfu’s bachelor Zhu Pingan as the imperial son’s bachelor, do not think for the imperial son to solve the problem, and strive to do exemplary things, but ignored the oracle, knowingly committed the offence …… with the court cane twenty, as an example to others, Chin Chin this.”
Feng Bao read the imperial decree in a staccato manner.
Zhu Pingan listened carefully from below, but when he heard the punishment at the back, Zhu Pingan froze.
Twenty court canes?
Just twenty court canes?
I remember that before the bull was issued, the three officials who pleaded for Brother Yang were all given thirty canes, right? Didn’t the Holy Spirit’s bull say that violators would be severely punished? If he had interceded after the release of the bull, the punishment would have to be heavier than 30 canes, right? Why is he only 20 canes?
Are you sure you’ve finished reading? Just twenty canes, no relegation?
Zhu Pingan froze after listening to the imperial decree, suspiciously looked up to Feng Bao, full of puzzlement.
“The imperial decree has been read out, little Lord Zhu accepts the decree ah.”Feng Bao closed the holy decree and lowered his head to remind Zhu Pingan.
“Oh oh, subject Zhu Pingan accepts the imperial decree, long live the emperor.”
After Feng Bao’s reminder, Zhu Pingan was then convinced that the imperial decree had truly been read out, and busily kowtowed to receive the decree.
“Little Lord Zhu, I really don’t know what to say about you.”After Feng Bao finished his business, he spoke much more casually, “His holiness has issued an oracle not to intercede for Yang Jisheng, and you still knowingly committed a crime. If you did not intercede for Yang Jisheng in your sonata, you would have been rich. You don’t know, the emperor just saw how happy when you play a letter, the face of the dragon is very happy ah. But after seeing the content of the second half of your plea for Yang Jisheng, the emperor almost didn’t have the anger to drop the plea to the ground. But even so, the saint also only ordered to hit the small Zhu adults twenty cane. Although His Holiness didn’t say so, but the miscellaneous family saw clearly from the bottom that His Holiness was cherishing talent.”
“Ping An has failed His Majesty’s great favour, it’s just that Yang Jisheng is my senior brother from the same school, and back then when I went to the capital to catch the examination, Yang Jisheng was kind to me, now that Yang Jisheng is in trouble, how can I just sit back and do nothing.”Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Knowing the favour!
Hearing Zhu Pingan finish, Feng Bao could not help but look at Zhu Pingan with a little more respect.
“Little Lord Zhu don’t worry, I have already instructed when I came to ‘fight’, this time the court cane will be high and light. But after all, it is a court cane, even if it is a ‘beating’, these twenty court canes go down, it is also enough for Lord Xiao Zhu to suffer. Little Lord Zhu also needs to be prepared.”
Feng Bao came close to Zhu Pingan’s ear and whispered.
“Hit” was their internal language, a lighter caning order than “really hit”. The so-called “hit”, simply put, is to mean it, do not really hit, the court cane should be lifted up and put down lightly, to muddle through.
But, just like Feng Bao said, the court cane is after all the court cane, even this kind of beating, also enough to suffer.
“Many thanks to Eunuch Feng.”Zhu Pingan sniffed and thanked from the bottom of his heart.
“Little Lord Zhu is polite with me.”Feng Bao patted Zhu Pingan’s shoulder, everything was in the air.
