Shen Mingzhu lowered her head, "Isn't it? Your Highness, didn't the county magistrate also receive a reward from the emperor? Just like the farmer who planted high-yield grain in Zhao State, he had merits, but the county magistrate who discovered that he had planted high-yield grain and reported it to the court was also rewarded, and the people of Zhao State praised him as a true parent official. This fuel-saving lamp, why don't I have any merits?"
Chen Xingqing just discovered that someone poisoned the emperor and the empress dowager, and they were both rewarded with a princess. Why didn't she get any credit for discovering a person who benefited the people of the world
She really felt so, or rather, from what she had heard and what she knew in the world, a great achievement should not be monopolized by one person, but should be passed down layer by layer!
She clearly participated in it and donated it to so many poor students and poor people, so why doesn't she have any credit
Does Chen Xingnong send as many people as she does
Why does she deserve so much credit
Shen Mingzhu thought so and said so!
The ministers in the hall looked at her as if she were a joke!
Chu Tianyu almost couldn't help but slap her, but fortunately he remembered that the occasion was not right, so he said with a dark face: "Shut up!"
Shen Mingzhu looked at the second prince in shock.
After saying that, he knelt down directly and said, "Please punish me, Father. I was foolish and was fooled by someone! I believed that the credit for saving the oil lamp was hers! I am guilty!"
This stupid woman!
The second prince was so regretful!
What kind of impression will he leave in front of his father and the ministers
He would give his father and the ministers the impression that he was stupid enough to be fooled by a woman!
People may even say that you are obsessed with sex!
The most important thing for a ruler is to know people and employ them, rather than being fooled by lowly people!
If a ruler of a country cannot even do the most basic thing of judging people, and then trusts treacherous ministers in the future, how can the country be stable? How can the ministers be at peace? How can the people be at peace
He has lived under Chu Tiankuo's shadow since he was a child!
Chu Tiankuo has been smart since he was a child. He could speak at the age of one, recite poems at the age of eighteen and a half, and could recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart at the age of six. He could compose poems at the age of seven, and was well-read at the age of ten. He was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was a master in all of them. One of his paintings was worth a fortune, and students and Confucian scholars from four countries competed to buy and collect it. After all, the calligraphy and paintings of the future king could be passed down as family heirlooms!
At the age of twelve, he was praised as a young formation master with rare talent, who was unprecedented and unrivaled!
It was not until he was thirteen that his mother committed adultery and his grandfather betrayed the country, which ruined him!
God knows how depressed and miserable he was during the thirteen years when he was famous!
No matter how hard he tried, he only had two hours of sleep a day, but he still couldn't compare to him!
He goes to bed at the beginning of the night and wakes up at the morning, and only has four hours to study every day. In the rest of the time, he plays, eats, and sleeps, and he is still better than me in everything!
He was so pissed off!
After waiting for a long time, Chu Tiankuo's world finally collapsed and he was exiled everywhere. He also heard that Chu Tiankuo always had nightmares and couldn't sleep all night after waking up. He didn't know how happy he was!
And without Chu Tiankuo for all these years, his intelligence and wisdom were finally noticed by the ministers!
He also always learned from Chu Tiankuo to be a gentle, polite, studious and kind prince in front of his father and ministers!
But this bitch actually fooled herself!
Therefore Chu Tianyu was extremely angry!
Shen Mingzhu was so scared that she quickly knelt down and didn't dare to say anything!
Prime Minister Liang took a deep breath. The Second Prince was stupid and even more stupid than the Crown Prince!
But no matter how dumb he is, he is still his grandson, and he prefers dumber grandsons.
Even though it’s a bit annoying at times!
But this kind of grandson is the most suitable, after all, he is obedient! Only in this way is he worthy of his protection!
Instead of waiting for the eldest prince to say that the second prince should be severely punished, Prime Minister Liang was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, although the second prince is anxious to plead for the people, he is wrong. As a prince, his position is related to the stability of the country, and he should not be so careless. Please punish him severely!"
Censor Lin also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although the Second Prince is not the crown prince, as a prince he needs to assist Your Majesty in managing government affairs and the people. It is wrong for him to be so easily fooled by a woman! As the saying goes, lust is like a knife above one's head. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. He should be punished lightly and warned severely, and learn from this!"
Chu Tianyu was furious after hearing what Censor Lin said. Wasn't this old man implying that he was obsessed with sex
But at this time, he also knew that admitting his mistakes was the right thing to do: "My Lords are right. I am a fool. I trusted others without checking the situation clearly. Please punish me, Father!"
The emperor's expression eased a little: "You have always been steady and prudent, but you were indeed careless this time! I will punish you by confining you to your home for three months and removing you from your position in the Ministry of Justice."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Liang's heart sank. The Minister of Justice was his man, but he was about to retire. Moreover, there was an old lady in her eighties at home who was dying. If anything happened, the Minister of Justice would have to mourn. Three years of mourning could almost mean direct retirement!
The Emperor has dismissed the Second Prince from his post in the Ministry of Justice at this moment, which means that they are no longer important people in the Ministry of Justice!
The Ministry of Justice has too many things under its control. Since the last emperor, the Liang family has been working hard for decades and has almost controlled the prisons of all the major cities in the Chu State! There are too many shameful cases.
The prince is back, and the emperor has begun to take action to clean up the power of the Liang family!
Is this to clear obstacles for the prince
Or do you want to vindicate the Changping Army
Does His Majesty completely disregard the Second Prince
Now you don’t even want to pretend
What do you rely on
That young formation master
... ...
Chu Tianyu was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that the emperor would punish him so severely! Remove him from the Ministry of Justice
Doesn't this mean undermining his power
He originally thought that his father still loved him, but now he has some doubts!
Shen Mingzhu was almost scared to death!
The second prince has been punished, what will happen to me
The emperor looked at Shen Mingzhu again and snorted coldly: "You ignorant woman, you have big selfish desires and big appetites! You plotted against the second prince, deceived the second prince, tried to gain something for nothing, and took away the great merit of the heaven. Your crime is unforgivable! Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years!"
Shen Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale, twenty years
She's the only one who's appeared in the past twenty years, and now she's old!
She immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! ... "
Eunuch Lao immediately called to the guards outside the palace: "Come here, drag him away!"
Two guards came in and dragged Shen Mingzhu away directly.
Shen Mingzhu was terrified: "Your Majesty, spare my life! Second Prince, save me! Second Prince..."
The second prince lowered his head and hid the anger in his eyes: Idiot, you're still asking me to save her at this time!
Save my ass!
The more he saved her, the more my father thought he had been bewitched by her!
