Travel back to ancient times to raise a prince

Chapter 156 Three Imperial Edicts
"Ok?"

The emperor did not expect that Li Liande, who had always been obedient to him, would come out to refute his words at this time, so he couldn't help but shift his gaze to him.

Li Liande's face sank like water, and he looked at him calmly.

"Your Majesty, the slave guesses that you have the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to severely punish Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing, don't you? The slave is bold, please don't mess around. If you take action against Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing at this time, not only will you not be able to control the epidemic, but you will also arouse public outrage."

Is it so exaggerated?

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he asked him coldly, "Why do you say that?"

"This……"

Li Liande shrank his neck, deliberately showing a panicked expression.

"Do not hesitate!"

The emperor shook his sleeves, and sat down behind the desk with a blank expression, "You can say whatever you want, there are no outsiders here, I promise you, no matter how shocking your words are, I will not punish you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

What Li Liande was waiting for was his words. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he began to talk freely.

He told the emperor that the out-of-control blood bat disease had nothing to do with Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing. It was too far-fetched for the emperor to use their poor prevention and control of the epidemic as an excuse to severely punish them.

You know, Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing are both ordinary people now!They have no obligation to help the people of Shu County deal with the blood bat disease, and they have no right to restrict the actions of the people.

It is already a miracle that Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing were able to stabilize the situation in Shu County without the help of the Tang family and the Shu county magistrate.

What's more, the magistrate of Xingyuan County said in the memorial that the blood bat disease leaked because Xiao Huaiyu's subordinates secretly kidnapped a person infected with blood bat disease and brought that person to Xingyuan County .

In other words, it was Xiao Huaiyu who caused the blood bat disease to get out of control, not Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing.

If the emperor wants to punish those who spread the epidemic, he should punish Xiao Huaiyu, not Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing.

"This……"

After listening to Li Liande's words, the emperor fell into a long silence.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the blood bat disease was out of control, and Xiao Huaiyu was all responsible. Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing were not only innocent, but also meritorious.

"Your Majesty, the servant has not finished speaking yet."

Seeing his face change, a smile flashed across Li Liande's eyes, and he hurried to make persistent efforts.

"The servant knows that you hate Xiao Huaijin, and wished to cut him into pieces, but now he is no longer someone you can kill if you want!"

"After the blood bat disease broke out, Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing took out all their family assets. Before His Royal Highness Hui made a mess, Shu County hadn't lost control. The two of them contributed a lot."

"Nowadays, the people in the entire Shu County regard Xiao Huaijin and Yin Weiwei as gods! If you kill Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Huaijin at this time, the people in Shu County will protect them at all costs."

Makes sense!
What he said was too reasonable.

The emperor was shocked, goosebumps appeared all over his body behind him.

"It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would make a big mistake."

He walked quickly to Li Liande's side, and personally helped him up from the ground, "Li Liande, in your opinion, what should I do at this stage?"

"Responding to His Majesty's words, the slave thinks that you should do two things right now. The first thing is to appease the people, and the second thing is to severely punish those who disturb the situation."

Li Liande cupped his hands to him, and spoke softly what he had prepared long ago.

"If you want to appease people's hearts, you have to reward Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing, give them power, and let them lead the entire Shu County. As for severely punishing those who disturb the situation, His Royal Highness Hui Wang is a rich man, you can not move him, but Tang The magistrate of Jiahe and Shu County..."

"I know."

The emperor interrupted him, leaned his forehead and let out a long sigh, "You don't need to protect that little bastard Xiao Huaiyu, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, I will not protect him!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Liande's eyes lit up, and he put a high hat on him unobtrusively.

The emperor pursed his lips and patted his shoulder. After a long silence, he turned and walked outside his study.

"Come here, draw up the decree, Xiao Huaiyu disregarded the life and death of the people, and ordered his servants to spread blood bat disease. The crime is unforgivable! From now on, he will be deprived of the prince's throne, demoted to the county king, and will be fined for another three years."

"As the parent official of Shu County, the magistrate of Shu County failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the people. The crime is unforgivable, and the nine clans will be punished!"

"Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing have made great achievements in controlling the epidemic. From now on, Xiao Huaijin's status as prince will be restored, and Yin Qingqing will be appointed as the first rank. In addition, I order the two of them to take full power to deal with the blood bat disease. If they can eliminate the blood bat within three months Illness, I have another reward."

The emperor issued several imperial decrees in a bang, which caused an uproar in the capital.

For a while, the news that Xiao Huaijin was about to return to favor intensified.

And all of this has nothing to do with Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing.

At this time, Xiao Huaijin and Yin Qingqing were arguing.

After a few more days of recuperating at home, Yin Qingqing felt that her body had completely recovered.

So, she chose a sunny day and told Xiao Huaijin one thing.

She said...she wanted to visit Shi Ru in Linshui Village.

"No, absolutely not."

Xiao Huaijin changed suddenly and refused her request without hesitation, "You can't go to Linshui Village. On this matter, I, Tao Jiang and Shi Ru have reached a consensus. If you don't believe me, I can let you go to Linshui Village. Shi Ru gives you..."

"Wait a minute!"

Yin raised his hand lightly, tsk-tsk in amazement, "You said you reached a consensus with Tao Jiang and Shi Ru? When did you reach a consensus? Why didn't I know?"

"The day you went to the gate of the city to have a heart-to-heart talk with the people, Tao Jiang came to me behind your back, and he said that you haven't given up the idea of ​​looking for Shi Ru."

Xiao Huaijin unconsciously licked her lips, and said with a straight face: "That night, I wrote a letter to Shi Ru, Shi Ru told me to take care of you, don't let you mess around, he can take care of himself, he doesn't want to see you."

Good guy, there is a traitor beside her?

Yin Qingwen's face twitched a few times, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Tao Jiang who was standing at the door.

Tao Jiang's face froze, and he instinctively took two steps back.

"Miss Qing, listen to my explanation..."

"Don't explain."

Yin gently rolled his eyes, pouted his lips and said, "Tao Jiang, let me tell you clearly, I will never share my secrets with you again."

"Don't, Miss Qing, please do me a favor and don't be angry."

Tao Jiang was about to cry, but desperately winked at Xiao Huaijin, "Brother Huaijin, help me talk."

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Huaijin coughed dryly twice, rubbed her forehead and shook her sleeves at him, "Then what... you step back first, I want to have a good chat with your Miss Qing."
