Chapter 510 The Second Prince

With these confessions, Luo Qinghan could convict these fifteen people.

According to the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty, those who cheat in the scientific examination will have all their grades invalid and their reference qualifications will be disqualified for life.

But that's just the punishment for cheating.

They also bribed the examiners to steal exam questions, a charge far more serious than cheating.

According to the law, bribing court officials was punishable by beheading.

When Luo Qinghan decided to sentence these people to beheaded in half, Dong Mingchun couldn't help but remind him.

"Your Highness, you have to think twice."

If this verdict is issued, it means that the prince has offended more than a dozen families at once.

Luo Qinghan ignored his dissuasion and simply put the prince's seal on the verdict.

Dong Mingchun looked at the judgment in front of him, thinking of the situation that would happen next, he felt a little cold sweat on his body.

When the prince came to Weiyang Palace with the confession and the verdict, it was already the hour.

There were twenty people kneeling at the entrance of Weiyang Palace.

Luo Qinghan fixed his eyes and saw that it was the families of the fifteen cheating candidates.

They already knew that their juniors were caught cheating in exams, and they went to the palace to ask the emperor, hoping that the emperor would raise his hand and spare the lives of those ignorant juniors.

However, the emperor said he was sick and refused to show his face.

They had no choice but to kneel outside the Weiyang Palace, trying to impress the emperor in this way.

As a result, they did not wait for the emperor's attitude to soften, but instead waited for the prince.

When they saw the prince appear, their eyes suddenly became unkind.

Luo Qinghan could feel that these people should hate him.

But he didn't care.

He walked past these people without squinting, entered the Weiyang Palace, knocked on the emperor, and presented his confession and judgment.

The emperor looked at what was presented, and was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Luo Qing said coldly and quietly: "Since Erchen has taken the first step, he will not look back."

Thinking of the people kneeling outside, the emperor hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but persuade a few more words.

"It's still private. After all, it's not a glorious thing. If it's going to be a big deal, others will think that you deliberately took the opportunity to suppress the second prince."

Luo Qinghan didn't want to make any more excuses, and just said something calmly.

"Right and wrong are in the heart of the heart, and my son has a clear conscience."

The emperor sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know who your stubbornness is following, or whether your temperament is good or bad. In short, you can take it easy."

He picked up the jade seal next to him and pressed it on the verdict.

This judgment has come into effect.

Gan Fu took the verdict with both hands and silently stepped aside.

The emperor turned to ask about the second prince.

Luo Qinghan said truthfully: "The second brother is now being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the father's decision."

The emperor slowly turned the jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand and asked, "How do you think he should be dealt with?"

Luo Qinghan: "He is Erchen's imperial brother, and Erchen is reluctant to deal ruthlessly with him, but this time, there have been two consecutive leaks in the exam. The world's scholars explain."

"According to what you mean, do you want to severely punish the second prince?"

Luo Qinghan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, making a humble gesture: "National law and reason are incompatible, and my son doesn't know what to do. At this time, I have to ask the father and emperor to give instructions."

The emperor was quite satisfied with his response.

Although the prince has the advantage of being young, he also has the disadvantage of being young, for example, he is not experienced enough in doing things.

At the critical moment, he had to rely on his father to make up his mind.

The emperor sighed: "This matter is indeed the second prince's fault, and the punishment must be punished. It just so happens that the second prince is also old, and it is time to give him the throne."

He summoned the eunuch with a pen and began to draw up the decree.

The second prince, Luo Yunxuan, was canonized as the King of You, and he was given the fief Youyun County. He went to the fief on the same day.

This imperial decree seems to be a reward, but it is actually a punishment.

Not to mention that the title of King You is inherently ominous, it is not an exaggeration to say that this place in Youyun County is very remote.

When Luo Yunxuan goes to such a place, the future will be very difficult.

The most important thing is that Youyun County is very far away from Shengjing.

Luo Yunxuan's departure in this way means that he is forced to stay away from the political center. If something happens to Shengjing in the future, he will be far away and have no way of knowing.

In other words, he has lost the qualification to compete for the right to inherit the throne.

For Luo Yunxuan, this punishment was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

But when he received the imperial decree, he had to force himself to pretend to be very happy.

He entered the palace to thank his father, and also said goodbye.

The emperor screened all the people around him, leaving only him and Luo Yunxuan in the room.

The father and son chatted alone for an hour.

No one knew what they were talking about.

By the time Luo Yunxuan walked out of the Nianyang Palace, the decadent look on his face had disappeared.

He regained his former gentleness and elegance, and told Gan Fu with a smile.

"After I leave, please take care of the father and emperor for me."

Gan Fu hurriedly said: "Serving Your Majesty is a servant's duty, and the lord does not need to be so polite."

Luo Yunxuan knocked his head three more times towards the gate of Weiyang Palace, and then left reluctantly.

That afternoon, King You's car drove out of Shengjing City and headed for the distant Youyun County.

When this matter reached the ears of King Xiling, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"The emperor, the old fox, deliberately took Luo Yunxuan away. On the surface, he wanted to appease the scholars all over the world. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to keep Luo Yunxuan away from the right and wrong place of Shengjing. From this perspective, it seems that the emperor's favorite is the Luo Yunxuan, the second son."

Xie Chuxue filled him with a glass of wine and asked softly, "Do you want to send someone to stop Luo Yunxuan?"

King Xiling: "No need, Steward Fang has already chased after him personally, and Luo Yunxuan will definitely not be able to escape without him."

Thinking of the unassuming steward Fang, Xie Chuxue had some doubts in his heart.

She asked tentatively: "Father, do you really believe in Fang Wujiu? Although he has helped you a lot, he is an outsider after all, and he is also involved in Xuanmen. I don’t understand very well, what if Xuanmen hides evil intentions and intends to harm you?”

King Xiling took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't worry, I have people staring at him. If he does anything wrong, that person will kill him immediately."

Xie Chuxue was a little relieved: "It's still my father who thought it well."

King Xiling put down the wine glass: "Are you ready for the birthday gift for the Queen Mother?"

Xie Chuxue: "It's ready."

King Xiling stood up: "Take me to see."

Xie Chuxue smiled: "Okay."
