According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty.
Attempted murder was equivalent to murder.
It was only right and proper to pay a life for a life, and to pay a debt for a life.
Cao Ang was obviously forcing the Yuan Family. Anyway, with the Emperor backing him up, he had no fear at all.
Yuan Tan was so frightened that he scrambled to Yuan Kui's side. He tugged at his clothes and raised his neck, tears and snot flowing down his face.
"Grandfather, save Tan 'er! Tan 'er couldn't bear to see her father humiliated, so she was bewitched and made such a reckless move. Tan' er wouldn't dare to do it again in the future. She begged her grandfather to save Tan 'er!”
Yuan Kui remained cold and did not lower his head to glance at Yuan Tan.
It felt like he was saying,'You brought this upon yourself, kid. What does it have to do with me?'
Yuan Tan saw that Yuan Kui didn't react, so he crawled in front of Yuan Ji and tugged at his clothes. He cried bitterly and said,"
"Uncle! Please save Tan 'er. You're usually very good to Tan' er. Tan 'er won't dare to do it again in the future. She will definitely study hard in the future and will never be with those scoundrels.”
"Uncle! Please, save Tan 'er!"
"Wuwuwuwu ~~~"
Yuan Ji's heart softened a little. He lowered his head and glanced at Yuan Tan. Two streams of tears flowed out of his eyes."Tan 'er, uncle can't bear to do this either, but there are laws in the country and rules in the family!”
"Uncle is really…"
At this point, the scene of his uncle and nephew hugging each other and crying was really touching."Uncle is really helpless. Although you have already recognized your mistake, the situation has already reached this point. The law of the country cannot tolerate it!”
Yuan Ji bent down and supported Yuan Tan. At the same time, he pinched the other party fiercely. Then, he cried and sobbed. Yuan Tan immediately understood.
This was an act!
Yuan Tan even howled out loud and cried,""Uncle, Tan 'er is still young. Tan' er!"
Yuan Kui, who was at the side, had his neck raised the entire time. However, his sobbing actions were obvious, causing one's heart to ache.
As expected!
The hall instantly became solemn.
It was as if all of a sudden, it had become a moving farewell party for the Yuan family.
Some civil and military officials with lower tear glands lowered their heads and wiped their tears.
Some of the civil and military officials who were good friends of the Yuan Family also cried silently after understanding their intentions.
The grand Chongde Hall!
The place where the emperor discussed state affairs every day.
Had it turned into a mourning hall?
Censor Wang Yun stepped forward and cupped his fists at Emperor Liu Hong.""Your Majesty, I believe that Yuan Tan's assassination of Cao Ang had a reason and did not cause too much damage. Yuan Tan is a filial person and knows his sins.”
"This is enough!"
Censor Wang Yun cupped his hands and bowed." I believe that although the laws of the country are strict, our dynasty rules the country with filial piety. Yuan Tan committed murder, but after all, it was an attempted assassination. The death penalty can be exempted, but the crime cannot be avoided. Your Majesty, you can punish him slightly.”
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the case of Dong An during the reign of Emperor He?" Zhang Mao, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, flashed out. He had avenged his mother and killed his enemy. In the end, he was promoted to an official by Emperor He. All of this was because of the word filial piety.”
"Although Yuan Tan committed the crime of treason, his starting point was filial piety. It's understandable. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a bad ending. I think that this case should focus on education and punishment!”
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
(P.S. Dong An avenging his mother was not fabricated, but a historical fact.）
Immediately after, a group of ministers flashed out one after another.
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"
“......”
This scene!
Coupled with the scene of the Yuan family crying bitterly.
But it was really too lethal. Even Cao Ang couldn't bear to see it.
However, this was only for an instant, and he threw it to the back of his mind. He was not injured, but what if he was?
Mercy was absolutely not allowed!
He glanced at the Emperor and found that there was a hint of anger hidden in his face.
It was obvious!
This kind of forced abdication scene was never liked by the emperor.
The Yuan Family's power had been accumulated over several dynasties and was no longer something that Emperor Ling of Han could control.
He hated scholars!
He hated the Yuan Family even more!
However, the situation was difficult to resolve.
This group of court officials used filial piety to kidnap the Emperor, as if the Emperor had ordered Yuan Tan to die. That was wrong. It would make the hearts of the people of the world cold. This was a common method used by scholars!
Zhang Rang naturally understood the Emperor's intentions. He immediately flashed out and rebuked the scholar,""Humph! According to what you said, in the future, as long as you are filial, you can kill people at will?”
"Wouldn't the world be in chaos?”
"Moreover, Cao Zhonglang is leading an army to fight for the country. If he knows that his son was assassinated but was forgiven because of the attempted assassination, what do you think Cao Zhonglang will do?”
Awesome!
This was too f * cking awesome!
Zhang Rang was indeed worthy of being a figure who had been in the court for many years. He hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head!
Liu Hong nodded in agreement." Zhang Qing is right. Meng De had just made a great contribution to the court, but his son was assassinated. Although the assassination attempt failed, if Cao Cao knew about this, how could he be willing?”
At this point, Liu Hong turned to Yuan Kui.""Yuan Qing is the Grand Commandant of the court and is well versed in military affairs. I believe you should know what kind of impact it will have on the court if you can't be at ease outside!”
Yuan Kui hurriedly bowed deeply." This old official knows his sins. It is my Yuan Family that has made things difficult for Your Majesty. My Yuan Family is willing to be punished!"”
"Uncle, Tan 'er is only thirteen years old this year!" Yuan Ji begged bitterly.”
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty!"”
"Your Majesty, the war involves the safety of the court. If we can't make the general feel at ease, it will endanger the country!" I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"
The eunuchs also said in unison,"Think twice before Your Majesty!”
On the other hand, Cao Ang acted as if nothing had happened. He stared at the internal strife between the two factions and thought to himself that it would be strange if the Great Han Imperial Court didn't perish when its foundation was rotten!
Liu Hong took a deep breath and turned to Cao Ang. He said softly,"Little Cao, what do you think of this matter?"
Cao Ang was also a little dumbfounded by Liu Hong's sudden question. He didn't have time to think and could only cup his hands and say,"I will leave it to Your Majesty to decide!"
Anyway, no matter what, it was true that the Emperor, this old fellow, would definitely not suffer a loss.
Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction and said with interest,""Little Cao! I heard that you have five or six hundred thousand stones of grain. Is that true?”
Food?
These two words immediately touched Cao Ang's nerves.
He was keenly aware that the army at the front had run out of rations.
He reckoned that Liu Hong had already set his eyes on his rations.
F * ck!
Could it be that Yuan Kui was going to be a scapegoat?
As expected of the emperor who knew how to make the most money in history. Even Cao Ang admired his stingy spirit.
Awesome ~
