After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Tai Chi Hall

Because of the stern expression on the face of the emperor on high, all the officials and royal nobles below did not dare to breathe, let alone whisper to each other as they did in the past.

They knew that the crime committed by the Prince of Qi had already provoked the Emperor.

Therefore, he did not dare to make any rash moves so as not to attract the emperor's attention.

"Princess Yucheng is here!" As the voices came from far away and got closer, everyone's expressions relaxed.

It’s good that Princess Yucheng is here. The emperor loves his sister so much that he is reluctant to be cold and indifferent to her.

Sure enough, as Princess Yucheng stepped into the palace, the emperor's expression instantly eased a lot, and the atmosphere in the palace was no longer as cold and eerie as before.

"Your Majesty, may you be well!" Princess Yucheng walked into the palace and prepared to perform the ceremony according to the rules.

"Imperial sister, please stop bowing!" Before she actually knelt down, the emperor hurriedly ordered people to stop her.

He ordered someone to bring a chair over, and then had someone bring up the King of Qi, his prince and other criminals one by one.

The interrogation went very smoothly. The evidence was solid, and Su Qinchao, Li Bi, Liu Yunzi and others testified. In addition, the King of Qi remained silent throughout the trial.

As for Yun Qing, the princess specially hid him before entering the palace.

He only told Su Qinchao and Li Bi that it was better not to talk about ghosts in the palace, for fear that if it got out, it would cause unrest among the people.

And it's not a good idea for the little mountain ghost either. People's minds are unpredictable, and who knows what kind of things someone might take advantage of this.

Therefore, no matter how the Prince of Qi and the people in the palace cried and begged, and no matter how Zhu Yunzi and others tried to argue.

The emperor still used thunderous means to shut them up one by one, and personally issued three edicts:

First: The Prince of Qi slaughtered the people, which was a heinous crime. He was sentenced to twenty lashes and slow slicing. The palace soldiers who committed the crime were also sentenced to beheading. The execution will be carried out at Caishikou three days later!

Second: The Prince of Qi failed to educate his son properly, so he was stripped of his hereditary title, his property was confiscated, he was demoted to a commoner, and was imprisoned for life, and the rest of the people in the palace were exiled.

Third: Changliu Palace has lived up to the favor of emperors of all dynasties, colluded with the Prince of Qi, and murdered innocent children with cruel and outrageous methods.

The palace will be permanently sealed from now on, the main culprit Zhu Yunzi will be sentenced to death by slicing, and the other offenders will be sentenced to death by beheading.

Although Liu Yunzi had made a meritorious contribution by reporting the crime, he had failed to supervise his brother, so he was spared the death penalty and was exiled. The other adult Taoists were punished by being flogged ten times, and the Taoist children were all sent back to their hometowns.

The emperor became more and more frustrated as he continued to judge cases, and felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibility to supervise the royal family.

He also wanted to issue another edict of repentance, but was stopped by Princess Yucheng and other ministers and nobles.

Are you kidding me? If the emperor really issued an edict of guilt, what would these ministers be? Is this a useless joke?

After the angel finished reading the three decrees, the emperor looked at the King of Qi, who had been kneeling in the hall without saying a word, with an unclear expression:

"Does the Emperor have any objection?" His brother had been upright all his life and had never done anything that would make him unhappy.

He was simply not attentive to his children's education and left them to the women in the back house to raise them without intervening at all, which led to such a disaster.

"I am a guilty minister who has failed all my ancestors! I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to atone my sins!" The King of Qi raised his head with a sad face and looked earnestly at the emperor on the throne.

"Yes." Seeing that the King of Qi was so determined to go to the imperial mausoleum, the emperor thought for a moment and agreed.

...

On the day of execution, there were more than 300 criminals sentenced to death by beheading, almost as many as the number of child victims.

Later, according to the onlookers, although there were more than ten executioners, it took them from noon to 7:15 pm before they finished.

Almost every executioner's knife had several broken and bent blades, and blood was flowing all over the ground. It took three to five days to wash it clean.

From then on, the case was considered over, and the gossips of the world gradually subsided because of the emperor's thundering action.

The people also knew that the emperor would really stand up for the people, and that the prince would really pay a terrible price if he broke the law.

Just look at the Prince of Qi who was tortured to death, he was the emperor's nephew, a member of the royal family...

This was even more true for the ministers and nobles who had become cunning spirits. They all detained and reprimanded their own sons and nephews.

I’m afraid that someone will be ignorant and bring trouble to the whole family.

...

At the end of March, another big event broke out in Chang'an, and this big event was brought to you by Li Wu, who arrived late.

According to her, she originally wanted to report on her work at the end of February, but something happened along the way and she was delayed for a long time.

At that time, she was suddenly attacked by bandits on her way to Beijing. Although she was skilled in martial arts, she could not defeat the bandits in large numbers.

Just when she wanted to get away first and then go back at night to deal with them one by one.

But he happened to meet a ranger who was over 30 years old. The ranger had clear features and an unrestrained temperament. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as his own, they were still pretty good.

With the cooperation of the two, they quickly took care of more than a hundred bandits who looked brave and armed, and tied them up one by one and took them to the nearest government office.

However, during this process, the ranger was stabbed in the abdomen while trying to block the sword for Li Wu. Although he was not injured in any vital parts, he still needed to rest for a while.

Therefore, after Li Wu sent the man to the clinic, she personally took care of him for half a month until the ranger's wounds had healed.

She realized that the report could not be delayed any longer, so she took her people and drove the carriage to Chang'an in a hurry.

After arriving in Chang'an, Li Wu's first stop was Princess Yucheng's Mansion.

Because she had promised Li Yun last year but did not show up within the agreed time, she wanted to apologize first.

However, he did not expect that when he was playing with Li Yun, the ranger sitting in the outer courtyard of the princess's mansion would have the courage to stop Princess Yucheng who had just entered the mansion.

At that time, the ranger was standing in the yard, looking bored at the lotus pots in the corner that were covered with dead branches and leaves.

Suddenly, a middle-aged young man in a green robe and jade belt walked in from outside. The feeling between his brows looked very familiar to me.

Until the young man saw someone in the yard and glanced over in surprise.

Suddenly, a face flashed in his mind. After it gradually overlapped with the person in front of him, he stood up in shock: "Li Yucheng!"

He didn't expect that the person he had been looking for in the world for so many years would appear here.

He was still young at that time, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and had just been released by his family to venture into the world, and he happened to meet the person in front of him.

Those were almost the happiest days of his life. At that time, they participated in the martial arts conference together and were knocked off the ring together.

Together we punished evildoers, together we rode horses up the mountain to watch the sunrise, together we lay on the roof drinking and watching the stars.

As time went by, he discovered that he actually had despicable thoughts about his brother, so he was scared and left without saying goodbye.

Later, when I regretted it and wanted to look for her again, I never met her again.
