Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

At first glance, Yun Ting's slamming of the table sounded very loud, and judging from this behavior alone, he seemed to be very angry.

But Nan Yingzhi is not someone who has no knowledge of acting, and is not easily fooled by these trivial things.

As an experienced actor, Nan Yingzhi has seen and eaten pork and also seen pigs run, and has long possessed the ability to recognize the acting skills of his peers.

She quickly discerned Yun Ting's anger from the flash of joy in his eyes, which was somewhat useful for his work.

Not knowing that his performance was being analyzed frame by frame by Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ting continued to perform.

Pretending to be extremely angry, he shouted downstairs: "Where is Zhao Yi? Get out!"

Knowing that he could not escape the fate of Zhao Qiao's defection, Zhao Yi was to blame. He stepped out from the ranks of generals tremblingly and knelt on the ground: "I am here, your old minister!"

Trying to create a sense of authority, Yun Ting lowered his voice, not sounding like he was accusing someone, but rather like he was having a secret conversation with Zhao Yi: "Do you know, according to our Dali laws, if a soldier deserts, what crime should his family members, especially his father, be punished for?"

Feeling that Yun Ting's words did not contain any intention of settling the issue peacefully, Zhao Yi broke out in a cold sweat.

The crime of treason can be either light or heavy, all depending on your Majesty's wishes. But if your Majesty does not agree, then this matter will be difficult to handle!

"In reply to your Majesty," Zhao Yi was terrified, but he was still mentally stable and could barely keep calm, speaking in an organized manner, "In serious cases, he will be exiled, and in minor cases, he will be demoted."

"Then what do you think?" Yun Ting gave the decision-making power to Zhao Yi and hinted clearly, "Is Zhao Qiao's action a minor one or a major one?"

Of course he wanted to avoid the main point, and Zhao Yi immediately understood why Yun Ting was asking him this.

He racked his brains and organized his words, but in the end, with trembling lips, he took back the decision-making power that Yun Ting handed to him.

"This is a serious matter. I am in the middle of it and cannot see clearly. I cannot just say something without thinking." Thinking that it would be more convincing if he did not say "I am not guilty" himself, Zhao Yi pushed the problem back to Yun Ting cautiously. "In my opinion, it is safer to leave this matter to Your Majesty to decide."

Yun Ting gritted his teeth secretly as he wanted Zhao Yi to defend himself and arouse public outrage, and then he could come out to "administer justice" and choose a compromise method that would not only stop them from arguing but also make him appear less stupid and incompetent.

This Zhao Yi is really a seasoned man. With just one sentence, "It's all up to Your Majesty to decide", he cleared himself so cleanly!

Feeling that he was in a dilemma, he couldn't help but frown.

If Zhao Yi is not rescued and he is exiled, the post of "Admiral" will remain vacant and there will be a large vacancy in the defense of the capital.

Being an admiral is a good job with a high salary, and one only has to do daily patrols around the capital, without having to fight on the battlefield.

For many years, it has been the fat piece of meat that everyone has been fighting for.

It was just that the Zhao family had made great contributions to the emperor before, so they were given this job and the position of admiral, which became a meal for the men of the Zhao family.

If it were released now, there's no telling how much dispute it would cause.

Thinking that he only had Jin'an at hand, and Jin'an had secret guards who could have threatened him with their power. If the imperial guards were added, his situation would be further aggravated. Yun Ting was willing to save Zhao Yi.

But it would not be possible to release Zhao Yi without any evidence. All the civil and military officials were watching, so at least they had to put on a show.

"If I were to say," Yun Ting felt that this statement was not convincing, and he felt a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but put on a pretentious tone, "Zhao Qiao's defection has nothing to do with you, Zhao Yi."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like oil in a hot pot. The ministers below could no longer bear to be lonely and began to whisper to each other.

The rustling noise was like a tide, slowly surging towards the dragon throne, pressing Yun Ting to the point of being unable to breathe.

But since he had already decided to save Zhao Yi, Yun Ting had no choice but to go his own way.

"I have decided to fine you half a year's salary and confine you to house arrest for five days. Do you have any objection?"

This punishment was too lenient, which made the ministers furious. Even Nan Yingzhi, who was always kind to others, couldn't bear it.

Originally, she just felt that Yun Ting's every move seemed like acting, and his acting was full of flaws, which made her unable to complain.

I never expected that Yun Ting would perform with all his passion, and it turns out he was holding back some big moves.

Zhao Yi's legitimate son, Zhao Qiao, did such a despicable thing and his whereabouts are still unknown. As a father, it is not excessive for him to be punished for his son.

Yun Ting's way of dealing with it was to just fine him his salary, and impose a mild house arrest and exile on him.

It’s no wonder that the ministers reacted so strongly. Yun Ting’s style of thunder without raining made Nan Yingzhi feel indignant.

Is this approach worthy of the chief commander Nan Yi who is fighting on the front lines, and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for peace?

Seeing that the ministers were indignant and questioning whether the treatment was too lenient, Yun Ting felt a little embarrassed.

He knew very well that "lifting high and putting down gently" was not appropriate, but if he wanted to hug Zhao Yi, this was the only solution he could do.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Yun Ting quickly skipped the topic and forcibly stopped it: "This matter ends here."

The noise below was too loud, completely drowning out his voice.

For a moment, the orderly Golden Throne Hall fell into a sea of ​​chaos.

As the chief eunuch, Gao Shu had the obligation to help maintain order. He waved the whisk in his hand and shouted for Yun Ting: "Silence——"

Because “the first bird to stick its head out gets shot”, no one had the courage to raise objections to Yun Ting openly. They only dared to discuss it below, and when Gao Shu shouted at them, they slowly shut up.

The noisy Golden Throne Hall gradually returned to calm.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Nan Yingzhi thought about the content of her speech and prepared to speak for the soldiers.

Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, an old voice suddenly came from the side.
