Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

After changing the bed, Fang Hao not only did not sleep more comfortably, but he tossed and turned and had trouble falling asleep.

The heavy rain outside the window stopped at some point, and Fang Hao fell into a drowsy sleep in the second half of the night.

At noon, Jin Wuji arrived.

The Fang family was about to start dinner, so it was hard to tell whether he had come at dinner time on purpose.

Fang Hao sat at the table with sleepy eyes, facing the table full of food, but had no intention of picking up his chopsticks.

He was sleeping soundly when he was dragged out of bed because of Jin Wuji, who was eating with hearty appetite and had no demeanor of a prince at all.

"I say, you are the prince after all, can you pay attention to your image?" Fang Hao said unhappily.

"Image? We are all family, what image do we need?"

Jin Wuji said this and picked up another leg and put it in his bowl.

"Sigh~"

Jin Wuji suddenly gasped and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Fang Hao gloated, "What happened? Did you eat a stone?"

Jin Wuji bared his teeth and said, "No, it affected my injury."

Injury?

Fang Hao became interested and asked excitedly, "Did your father beat you?"

Jin Wuji nodded depressedly, "Besides him, who else would dare to hit me?"

“Haha, you deserve it!”

Somehow, when he saw Jin Wuji suffering, Fang Hao's depressed mood suddenly improved.

Jin Wuji rolled his eyes and bit the chicken leg hard, as if it was Fang Hao's leg.

"By the way, where's the guard? Why didn't he come?"

Fang Hao was a little curious. Don’t these two often come together to eat? Why did only one of them come today?

Jin Wuji showed an extremely perverted smile, "Him? Don't even think about it. He won't be able to get out of bed for three or four days."

"I sent someone to inquire last night, and heard that screams were heard constantly in the Sixth Prince's Mansion."

Fang Hao's eyelids twitched, and he mourned for Jin Shouyu for three seconds in his heart.

Brother Shouyu, don’t blame me, blame your father if you want to blame someone. He was the one who bumped into me.

People are so strange. When the depressed Fang Hao learned that Jin Wuji was beaten, he suddenly felt much better. The same was true for Jin Wuji. When compared with Jin Shouyu, he felt that he was not so miserable.

It seems that as long as there is someone more unfortunate than myself, I will be happy.

Jin Wuji suddenly said, "Brother Fang, are you going to the Colosseum this afternoon? I haven't been there for more than half a month, and I miss it a lot."

Fang Hao shook his head and said, "I'm going to the palace this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go by myself then."

Jin Wuji looked indifferent, obviously not realizing the problem yet.

Fang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Wuji, I still need you to lead the way."

Jin Wuji's body stiffened, "???"

Fang Hao's eyes were eager and sincere, "We are brothers, aren't we?"

Jin Wuji, "......"

......

The mess left by Kong Dongliu is not easy to solve.

If Jin Tianci were left to his own devices, he would have slaughtered all of the five great families, leaving countless heads rolling and blood flowing like a river, only then would he be able to vent the anger in his heart.

But he knew without anyone's advice that indiscriminate killing would only bring greater hidden dangers and troubles.

After a day of discussion, he finally made a decision at today's court meeting.

All the women in the Kong family were sent to the Jiaofangsi, and boys under the age of twelve were reduced to slavery, and those over twelve were beheaded.

As for the other four families, all their property was confiscated, and the remaining people became slaves.

Although he couldn't kill too many people, Jin Tianci definitely didn't want to let them go easily.

People of the lowly class could not take the imperial examinations, become officials, engage in business, purchase property, or even marry ordinary people. They could only work in menial jobs, and the lowly class was passed down from generation to generation, and their descendants were all of the lowly class. It could almost be said that they would never be able to turn their lives around.

As for Li Rixin and the Li family who had "come to their senses", Jin Tianci didn't want to let them go.

But at the suggestion of the left and right prime ministers, he was willing to give it a chance.

Nearly half of the Li family’s property was confiscated, but they were let off lightly. Li Rixin didn’t even die. He was beaten with a stick forty times and sent back home. His family would not be allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations.

Although the Li family was severely damaged, compared with the other five families, they at least escaped the disaster.

Little did you see that Li Rixin, who was beaten to death, was still shouting thank you for Your Majesty's forgiveness and that the Li family would be loyal to the country in the future and would never regret it even if they died.

Jin Tianci didn't care about the return of the Li family. What was important was that he needed to make his position clear to the other families. Those who defy me will die! But if you admit your mistakes and can correct them, I can give you a chance to correct them.

If you don’t believe me, look at the Li family. They committed such a serious crime, but I didn’t let them go.

In the court, the matter came to an end after the imperial edict was issued.

But the far-reaching impact of this incident is far from over.

The power of the aristocratic families is neither big nor small. Compared with a dynasty like the Great Jin that stands at the top, they are nothing.

But compared with some small countries, the power and resources they control cannot be underestimated.

The most crucial point is the extremely bad impact this incident has brought.

Not to mention anything else, just take the vacant seats in the court as an example. In the coming period of time, there will be many open and covert struggles surrounding these vacant seats.

Jin Tianci suddenly sighed. Although he suppressed the aristocratic families, he was only afraid that the aristocratic families were too powerful and would have an impact on the imperial power.

But he really didn't expect that these five families would be so bold as to openly commit treason.

Being caught off guard did cause him quite a bit of trouble.

Although some measures were taken, the direct descendants of the five major families were far away in Western Liao and could not be reached.

The longer these people live, the longer the influence of their treason will last, and the more the dignity of the Great Jin will be damaged.

Jin Tianci's eyes were filled with murderous intent. These people must die! Even if it costs a lot!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"

A sharp voice came from outside the hall, and then Jin Wuji stepped into the hall.

"My son has met my father!"

"Get up~"

Jin Tianci looked at him with interest. He had just taught him a lesson last night and asked him to reflect on his mistakes in the palace and not to go out. According to his temper, he should have stayed as far away as possible in the past few days. How dare he fall into the trap?

It has to be said that Jin Tianci is itching to do something again. He vented his anger on Qingque yesterday, and he felt refreshed...

There is even a folk saying that if you beat your children on a rainy day, you will be idle anyway...

Jin Wuji didn't know that he was walking on the edge of danger. "Father, Xinxiang County Earl Fang Hao has something to discuss with you. I brought him here to see you?"

Jin Tianci raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."

Zhang Ju immediately sang, "Send it to Xinxiang County Earl~"

Fang Hao strode in and bowed, "I greet your Majesty!"

Jin Tianci nodded, "What's the matter, Fang Qing?"

Seeing this scene, Jin Wuji's eyes turned and he immediately said, "Father, I will take my leave first!"

"No hurry, listen too~"

Jin Tianci's casual words shattered Jin Wuji's plan to escape.

Jin Wuji glared at Fang Hao and said, I have made great sacrifices for you!

Fang Hao ignored his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, someone wants to kill me. Please save me!"

Jin Tianci said simply, "Who?"

"Swallow Gate!"
