Xie Yuanjia sat quietly at the table without saying a word. There were two rows of court ladies and eunuchs kneeling in the courtyard, headed by the elderly nun. A bunch of people lay on the ground trembling and waiting for their punishment.

Chunyuya had just told him in a lecture a few days ago that a wise king must be "distinct in rewards and punishments".

The most important thing about this reward and punishment is to grasp the "degree". Being too strict will cause them to panic, and they will not be able to use them wholeheartedly.However, if the punishment is too soft, it will make people despise the criminal law, deceive the superior and the inferior, and it will be difficult to establish the prestige of the king.

If you want to have a degree of relaxation and proper rewards and punishments, this "degree" is a compulsory course for every king's practice.

Xie Yuanjia was not in a hurry to speak. He was thinking about Chunyuya's words in his mind. These dozen or so people must be punished. It is definitely a felony to bully the princess. But he must calm down and not talk nonsense. It's enough for everyone to have a beating.

"Do you know what crime you have committed?" Xie Yuanjia said slowly.

The group of palace people hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy and automatically confessed their guilt.

Xie Yuanjia's eyes lingered on them, and finally landed on the headed nun: "Since you all feel that you are guilty, but you can't tell what you are guilty of, then go to the Shenxing Temple and explain clearly."

Shenxing Temple is a place in the palace of the Dacheng Dynasty that specially punished the palace servants who made mistakes. Rumor has it that the punishment is harsh, and all palace servants who enter will suffer a lot of punishment.

Sure enough, those people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they kowtowed desperately to beg Xie Yuanjia for mercy.

"When you carried the princess who bullied me, did you ever think about what punishment you would get?" Xie Yuanjia said blankly. He is not the kind of person who likes to lose his temper, but if this group of people don't give a severe lesson , what should Qiuyang do for the suffering he has suffered all these years?

He glanced at the people below, and said: "When you enter the Shenxing Temple, write down all your crimes in detail. I want to read it myself. If there is any false statement, you will never leave." I want to get out of there again."

"Also." Xie Yuanjia took another look at Nanny, and continued: "Mammy He has committed several crimes, and each of them should be a capital crime. Thirty boards, expelled from the palace and not to be used again. And, return all the silver taels obtained by stealing the princess’s gold and silver jewelry over the years, if you don’t pay back, you will be sent to the frontier to do coolies to pay off the debt.”

Nanny He still wanted to beg for mercy, but she was kicked over by Mu Zhan and asked two guards to drag her down, lest crying and shouting here would make people upset.

Xie Yuanjia felt that the punishment was almost the same, so he waved his hand and asked the guards outside to send the remaining dozen or so palace servants to the Shenxing Temple, so that they should be punished with the cane, those who should be served hard labor, and those who should be expelled , dealt with as a crime.

After a while, a large group of courtiers shouted and were tied up and thrown out, and the courtyard regained its initial calm.After Xie Yuanjia finished all this, he felt a little uneasy. After all, Fu Jinghong was still by his side, and because he wanted to vent his anger on Qiuyang, he dealt with these people privately. I don't know if he would be unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jinghong smiled instead: "Your Majesty has shown his might for the first time, and he is very imposing."

Doesn't sound like you're angry?

Xie Yuanjia's face was a little red, "I'm just a little angry. A little girl in Qiuyang was spoiled by these people. I don't feel angry, and I don't know if I dealt with it properly."

"The emperor handled it well." Fu Jinghong first affirmed him, and then said: "It's just that I think it's a little soft-hearted."

Xie Yuanjia was a little curious, and couldn't help asking: "If the emperor uncle comes to deal with it, what will he do?"

"Oh." Fu Jinghong sneered, "If I were to deal with it, few of these palace people would survive. Bullying the royal family is not an ordinary crime, let alone committing crimes under the nose of the minister. None of my dogs will live."

Xie Yuanjia's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but argue: "Isn't this too harsh? It's not that I don't know right from wrong and soft-hearted. It makes people feel distracted, and the whole palace is silent like cicadas. It is better to hand it over to Shenxing Temple, each person's guilt will be dealt with individually, and everything will be handed over to the criminal law."

Fu Jinghong wanted to sneer, but seeing the sincerity in Xie Yuanjia's eyes, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.His life experience is more complicated than Yuan Jia's. The bastard was not favored, and when he was sent to the capital to be a proton, he was about the same age as the current emperor. Where is your seat today?In his outlook on life, reusing all available people and eliminating all disobedient people is the fundamental reason why he controls the overall situation.

Yuan Jia is too young and has too little experience, so he thinks that all crimes in this world should be dealt with by the criminal law, but he doesn't know that some people are not worthy of living.

"The emperor's kindness is a good thing, and there is nothing inappropriate about this disposal." Fu Jinghong said softly, "Just remember one thing, if anyone around you violates your interests, no matter how many reasons he has to be forgiven , can’t stay alive.”

Xie Yuanjia felt uncomfortable hearing that, maybe he is still not suitable to be an emperor who can control the life and death of others, he doesn't like to deprive others of their lives, and he is even more afraid that if one day he sets a precedent, if this hole cannot be closed in the future, Power has made him lose his mind, so is he still his original self?

"I, I don't want to." Xie Yuanjia said desolately, he suddenly wanted to step down and leave the palace right now, and just hand over this kind of psychological limit challenge to the protagonist. Ordinary citizens don't want to have this kind of right.

Fu Jinghong knew that he had hurt him, but he didn't intend to take back what he said.It was true that he wanted to protect Yuan Jia, and he also thought that after he ascended the throne in Japan, he would be protected under his wings and he would not have to worry about anything.

But at that moment just now, he had some other thoughts, he wanted to see how Yuan Jia could grow.Chun Yuya was already teaching him some ways of being a king, and she seemed to be supporting him, not to mention Ji Shaoyan, who had expressed his sincerity to him earlier.It stands to reason that he should control the situation at this time and remove Xie Yuanjia from this seat in advance. Even if he is interested in him, he must weigh one or two before the throne.

But in the end he couldn't bear it.

It's one thing to be a canary under your own wings, but another thing to spread your wings and be an eagle. Owning a beautiful eagle is definitely more exciting than owning a canary.

He wanted to take a gamble, give himself and Yuan Jia three years to see who would win in the end.

If Yuan Jia wins, he will be willing to bow his head and become a minister from then on, and will fight for him and protect him for the rest of his life.If he wins, then Yuan Jia will be trapped in a world by him forever, never to be free again.

If Xie Yuanjia knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely kneel down and cry.

The main character in the original book is already perverted enough, how can this be the ultimate evolution?He never treated the heroine like this in the original book!What's more, who would agree to Lao Shizi's broken game!No matter how you hear it, he is at a disadvantage, okay?Winner and loser are all Fu Jinghong's people, have you asked his opinion?

After Xie Yuanjia dealt with these bad people, he got up and went into the inner room to see Qiuyang.Clinique was telling a joke to make her happy, Qiuyang covered her mouth and laughed softly, with cute curved eyes.

"Brother Emperor?" Qiuyang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, sat up straight immediately, and asked with some anxiety, "You, aren't you angry?"

Xie Yuanjia came over and sat down, put the quilt that was crooked for her, nodded and said: "I drove away those who bullied you, and I will send some people over later, your yard and house should also Tidy up well."

Qiuyang seemed a little hesitant, "The Chaoxi Hall is too big, and Qiuyang lives alone, so there is no need to repair it."

"You are my younger sister. You are precious, so don't underestimate yourself." Xie Yuanjia understood her fear of causing trouble to herself, and comforted her softly, "Before, why didn't you find a chance to tell Brother Huang? These people treat you like this, why did you Aren't you going to tell Brother Huang?"

Qiuyang's eyes were a little red, she tightened her quilt nervously, and replied in a low voice: "I've said it, will Brother Huang definitely decide for Qiuyang?"

"That's natural." Xie Yuanjia nodded affirmatively.

"But... the concubine mother said that no one in the palace can be trusted." Qiuyang was panicked, "Even the emperor doesn't come to see Qiuyang very often, so how can Qi Yang bother the emperor?"

Xie Yuanjia's eyes were complicated, he seemed to see himself many years ago from Qiuyang.Because she is not loved and expected by her parents, she lives so cautiously all year round, not daring to bother others, not letting others pay attention to her, not daring to make any demands, for fear of being abandoned.

If possible, who wouldn't want to be a willful young master or young lady?The reason why people are well-behaved and sensible is that they are not qualified because no one pampers them.

But even with such care, it was eventually abandoned.

Xie Yuanjia's eyes were a little moist, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Qiuyang's, looked into her eyes and said, "Doesn't Qiuyang believe in the emperor?"

Qiuyang seemed a little hesitant, as if she didn't know how to answer this question, but after looking at Xie Yuanjia's soft glasses, she thought about the many things he had done for herself, and finally nodded: "I believe it."

"Qiuyang believes what the emperor said."

"After that day, if anything happens, I must tell Brother Huang." Xie Yuanjia assured her, "I may not be able to protect others, but for you, I will definitely be able to protect you."

Qiuyang rubbed his eyes with his hands, and said with a sob, "Mmm."

She thought of her mother and concubine again, and thought of the words she said to her before she passed away. She strictly abided by them for many years, but now she really wants to say something to her.

Qiuyang also has an older brother.

Coming out of Chaoxi Hall, Xie Yuanjia was not in the same mood as when he came here, and he didn't say much along the way. Fu Jinghong noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him. The two of them walked side by side in silence, unexpectedly feeling a little warm.

Mu Zhan followed behind with his sword in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Looking at it this way, the prince and the emperor are really a good match.Although he is sent to follow the emperor now, he feels that he is still capable of great things. The emperor looks like a real dragon emperor, and he may be more reliable than the prince.

The self who followed behind might become a man recorded in the history books!
