Chapter 506: Death Penalty Can Be Avoided, but Living Crime Cannot Be Forgiven

Wen Zhan and Chu Xuance left quickly. Chu Qinghuang was shut up in the palace to review the memorials, and Fucang was waiting on him. One person was worth ten people in the palace, waiting on them to soak their feet, grind ink, and make tea. Squeeze shoulders, read memorials together...it's just a waste of time. You have to wash your hands after every task.

An hour later, Her Majesty the Queen finally remembered Chu Tianling who was still kneeling outside, and ordered Yuan Bao to announce his entry into the palace.

Chu Tianling walked in and knelt down: "I see Her Majesty the Queen, long live, long live, long live!"

Chu Qinghuang lowered his head to look at the fold, and said in a calm tone with no emotion at all: "If you have something to say, you can just kneel down and settle down."

Chu Tianling pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "I am guilty."

Chu Qinghuang raised his head to look at him, put the approved booklet aside, and picked up another one: "What crime do you have?"

"I had previously exchanged letters with the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. Before Duanmu Yu and Yanguo Prince Wei Heng came to Xiqi, I unilaterally severed contact with them, and I never responded to their letters." Chu Tianling said lightly, "Wei Heng's death was beyond my expectation, and Duanmu Yu's being trapped was something I never thought of. I have been feeling uneasy these days because Duanmu Yu holds evidence of my dealings with him, and I am worried that he will reveal the evidence. , so while His Majesty was resting, I decided privately to send someone to let him go.”

"Yeah?"

"But the people sent out made a mistake." Chu Tianling said, "My repeated behavior is enough to be considered treason. Even if Your Majesty kills me, I have no reason to excuse myself."

Chu Qinghuang said: "Since you know it is a capital crime, why did you take the initiative to confess? Are you not afraid of death?"

"I have been thinking, does His Majesty already know these things? Sometimes I comfort myself that Your Majesty may not know about it. However, this matter has always been like a thorn in my heart, making me worried from time to time, so I simply confessed to Your Majesty. "Chu Tianling said, "I am willing to let your majesty handle it without any regrets."

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "So what if I have a grudge? Who do I want to deal with, but I'm afraid you won't be resentful?"

"I don't dare."

"I'm in a good mood recently and don't want to kill anyone." Chu Qinghuang said in a calm voice, "Since you haven't given me any trouble, I can let you go in the past. Besides, Duanmu Yu is dead now, which is enough to show that The allies you make are vulnerable."

Chu Tianling lowered his head and remained silent.

"However, death penalty can be avoided, while living crime cannot be forgiven." Chu Qinghuang waved his hand, "Starting from tomorrow, after the morning court every day, go to kneel outside the imperial study room for an hour and half a month."

Chu Tianling raised his head slightly and frowned tightly.

"What?" Chu Qinghuang's eyes dimmed slightly, "You don't accept it?"

"No." Chu Tianling shook his head, as if he was extremely puzzled and couldn't believe it. "If what I did is made public, it should be punished as treason."

"In that case, why don't you take poison and commit suicide in your own palace?" Chu Qinghuang frowned, "You have already died a hundred times, so you don't want me to lose the reputation of eradicating dissidents."

Chu Tianling's expression changed slightly: "I don't mean that."

"I know what you did. Don't think that I am really like an idiot and kept in the dark about everything." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "If I really want to kill you, do you think you can survive until now?" ?”

Chu Tianling said nothing.

"I don't want to kill anyone this year. You can rejoice that you are lucky, or you can praise me for my tolerance and generosity." Chu Qinghuang said, "But if you think I won't kill you, you are just lucky. You can try to do more next time." I will tell you with practical actions what you shouldn’t do, and your luck will soon be used up.”

Chu Tianling lowered his head: "I don't dare."

Chu Qinghuang was a little impatient: "If you have nothing to do, just step back."

"I retire." Chu Tianling saluted, "Thank you for your grace."

Chu Qinghuang didn't respond to him.

It wasn't until he walked out of Changming Palace that Fucang said, "Just let him go?"

"I promised the Supreme Emperor before that I would try my best not to kill anyone who can." Chu Qinghuang frowned, "Besides, they are all a bunch of idiots. It doesn't make any difference whether they kill or not."

Chu Tianling may be a little better than the others, but he has no power behind him and no courtiers to help him. Associating with Duanmu Yu is probably the only way he can think of. He thought that he was the deepest and would be the final winner, but unfortunately it was just Just what I thought.

Fucang hummed: "Nuan Nuan is kind, but it is unlikely that these princes will completely give up their ambitions for a while. The Ange will keep an eye on them in the future."

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "You can make arrangements. I can rest assured that you will do your job."

Fucang smiled and said nothing more.

Government affairs were busy until noon, when Yuan Bao heard Her Majesty the Queen calling him.

It's time to prepare lunch.

After lunch, Her Majesty the Queen took a short nap. Master Fu Cang accompanied her attentively, massaging, squeezing her shoulders and even the soles of her feet, vowing to make her whole body active.

So Her Majesty the Queen took a nap comfortably.

…

At this point in the book, the career line of the heroine has come to an end. The author who just started the book said that the career line of the heroine in the early stage is great, and the emotional line in the later stage (although the emotional line cannot satisfy everyone, it is difficult to agree on, so I can only say and write) Show it to interested readers).

There is still an unresolved foreshadowing in the book, which will be solved later, and there is also a climax that has not yet been written.
