Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming's words caused all of the officials to become spirited. Dashun's steel was finally going to be used in large quantities. Dashun was finally going to attack Qian Zhou. Over the years, Qian Zhou appeared to be a subject on the surface, but in reality, they had wild ambitions. They relied on their unique location and the barbaric nature of the people. Dashun did not have absolute confidence in winning, thus they had always been arrogant.
Now, Dashun was firm. He had the god of war, the Ninth Prince. He also had the Royal Consort Yu, who was even more legendary than the god of war. Everyone believed that as long as these two were present, Dashun would be invincible.
The Emperor was also very satisfied with his son and daughter-in-law's bold words, as he repeatedly nodded to the two. He then looked at the officials and saw that they all had spirited expressions. He felt that today's morning court session had been very successful, thus he sat up straight and cleared his throat. He wanted to very domineeringly say "We permit it," but he had become accustomed to being the Emperor. When he spoke, it became: "Alright! It's decided! "
Fortunately, the officials were accustomed to their emperor's personality, thus they did not think much of it. After morning court, the rewards that should be rewarded had been rewarded and the punishments that should be punished had been punished. Tianwu figured that there was nothing else to do, thus he gave a look to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan immediately understood and loudly said: "If there is something, report it early. If there is nothing, end court."
Normally speaking, the officials should be kneeling once more and sending the emperor off. Who knew that Feng Yu Heng, who was still standing in the middle of the hall, would suddenly say: "Daughter-in-law still has something to discuss with father Emperor."
Tianwu loved to hear Feng Yu Heng speak. He felt that no matter what his daughter-in-law said, it was very satisfying. No matter what she brought up, it was very satisfying. Especially now that Feng Yu Heng's eyes were filled with craftiness. He was all too familiar with this look. It was just like his ninth son's. This was the prelude to scheming against someone! Tianwu loved to scheme with Feng Yu Heng, so he casually asked, "Who's the unlucky one this time?"
More than half of the officials in the hall were confused. Those who understood began to wipe their sweat. They thought to themselves, no wonder the Feng family's second young miss had such a temper towards the Emperor and the Ninth Prince. It turned out that the three of them were the same. There were also some people who had already seen through the relationships between the characters, so they didn't find it strange. They just silently pondered the same question with Emperor Tianwu: Who is the unlucky one this time?
Feng Yu Heng's mouth also twitched. In her heart, she was full of admiration for this emperor! Really, for Da Shun to be able to continue growing under his rule for so many years, it was not easy!
That was what she thought, but since Tianwu had asked, she might as well go along with it. She then said, "Daughter-in-law wants to complain!"
Tianwu narrowed his eyes. He looked like he was deep in thought, but his heart was bursting with joy. Good! There would be fun again. He leaned forward slightly, asking anxiously: "Who are you complaining about?"
Feng Yu Heng took a step forward: "Zong Sui's sixth princess, Li Yue!"
"Oh?" Tianwu's lips curled up, revealing an old version of Xuan Tianming's evil smile, asking again: "Zong Sui's sixth princess? Is she in Dashun? Did she offend our Princess Ji 'an? "
Xuan Tianming glanced at his father, thinking to himself, just keep pretending. He didn't believe that this old guy would not investigate the girl who suddenly appeared by Xuan Tianhua's side.
But Tianwu was pretending to be stupid, so it was not convenient for him to expose him. He then heard Feng Yu Heng say: "That's right, for some unknown reason, this Zong Sui's sixth princess actually changed her name to Yu Qianyin and mingled in Dashun's capital. A few days ago, she poisoned Daughter-in-law's grandmother to death. A living person's life was lost in her hands for no reason. Father Emperor, Daughter-in-law has received great care from grandmother since young and has a deep relationship with grandmother. Daughter-in-law is saddened by grandmother's death. Father Emperor, please uphold justice for Daughter-in-law! "
When she finished speaking, she simply knelt down with a sorrowful expression.
All the officials broke out in cold sweat. Who didn't know that Feng Yu Heng did not get along with the Feng family! Who didn't know that the Feng family's matriarch was biased and greedy for money! To say that the relationship between grandmother and granddaughter was good, wasn't that nonsense? But since Feng Yu Heng said this, they could not refute it. Zong Sui's sixth princess suddenly came to Dashun, but did not go through the official procedures to enter the palace to pay respects. Instead, she mingled in the capital and even poisoned the Feng family's matriarch to death. What did Zong Sui want to do?
Actually, on the morning after the chaos in the capital was quelled, Xuan Tianhua had already told Tianwu about Yu Qianyin's matter. She was already locked up in the imperial palace's mountain prison, but she had not been convicted of a crime. Tianwu knew that Feng Yu Heng would not let this person off easily. He had been waiting for Feng Yu Heng to bring it up herself. As expected, this matter was brought up today. He was very curious about how Feng Yu Heng wanted to deal with it, so he simply said according to what Feng Yu Heng said — — "Make the decision! Of course, make the decision! The princess of a vassal country secretly came to Dashun and actually dared to kill the princess' grandmother. This is a heinous crime. Heng Cheng, tell me, how should this person be dealt with? "
Feng Yu Heng raised her head to look at Tianwu, a sly smile appearing on her face: "Father Emperor, Zong Sui and Dashun are still considered friendly. Daughter-in-law does not want to disrupt the relationship between the two countries because of my family's matter. How about we settle this matter privately!"
"Settle it privately?" Tianwu did not understand, "How do we settle it privately?"
Xuan Tianming could not continue watching. What mute lawsuit was this, just say it directly and settle it! So he opened his mouth and said: "Let Zong Sui compensate!"
Tianwu became more spirited in an instant, "How much?" While saying this, he secretly gestured a "five" to Feng Yu Heng, moving his lips slightly, silently saying: "Five million?" Then he added: "Gold?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head and also gestured a "one" with her hand. Tianwu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood. He then said: "Although the Feng matriarch has no rank and that old man Feng Jin Yuan is only a fifth rank official, she is still your Princess Ji An's grandmother. How about this! Let Zong Sui pay ten million taels of gold as compensation for the deceased. In addition, let's pay another ten million taels of gold as compensation for letting the princess come to Dashun. Heng Cheng, what do you think? "
Feng Yu Heng kowtowed to Tianwu, saying: "Thank you Father Emperor. But grandmother has already passed away. She will not be able to spend this ten million taels of gold. Grandmother was concerned about the court when she was alive and always warned daughter-in-law to help His Ninth Highness contribute to the court. Then this ten million taels of gold as compensation will be donated to Dashun's national treasury on behalf of grandmother! It can be considered as fulfilling grandmother's wishes. "
Tianwu nodded. He just knew that this girl would not let the Feng family benefit so easily. "Good!" He said in a clear voice: "This ten million taels of gold will be used as the soldiers' pay for recovering the North and attacking Qian Zhou. It will be used by the two of you."
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming looked at each other and immediately said in unison: "Son (daughter-in-law) thanks Father Emperor for his grace on behalf of the soldiers of the three armies."
The officials all began to sweat. Twenty million taels of gold! Just like this, the twenty million taels of gold was settled. They had even figured out how to spend it. How could they be so certain that Zong Sui would give it? What if they fell out with Dashun like Qian Zhou?
Someone raised a question: "Your Majesty, it is not good to cause any more problems right now to prevent Dashun from being attacked from both sides!"
Tianwu glared: "They want to send out troops for a mere twenty million taels of gold? Forget it, since it is like this, then we will change it to fifty million taels of gold. Don't let their reason for sending out troops be too shabby. "
The official who raised the question immediately felt like he could not continue speaking. What kind of logic was this? His meaning was for the Emperor to reconsider. If he could not take this money, then he should not take it. He would use another method to support Feng Yu Heng. In the end, not only was it not reduced, it was even increased by thirty million taels?
This person was confused. He was busy settling the debt with himself and did not have the time to continue persuading him. Then he heard Tianwu's words settle the matter: "Fifty million taels of gold, it will be settled like this. Zhang Yuan, draft an edict. Zong Sui's Sixth Princess secretly sneaked into Dashun's capital with ill intentions, killing Princess Ji 'an's grandmother. Un, she also coveted Dashun's new steel technique. Considering Zong Sui's many years of loyalty and stability, We will not argue too much. If Zong Sui pays fifty million taels of gold, then the Sixth Princess can be redeemed. Otherwise, a life for a life, and the Sixth Princess will be beheaded in public according to Dashun's laws. "
Zhang Yuan did not say anything and nodded to comply with the edict.
Tianwu looked at Feng Yu Heng and mouthed silently: "Is it alright?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "It's alright."
This morning court session finally ended successfully.
After court was dismissed, a group of officials came forward to congratulate Feng Yu Heng on being promoted to a lower first rank imperial daughter. Feng Yu Heng greeted and thanked them one by one, then she was pulled out of the imperial palace by Xuan Tianming.
Xuan Tianming personally sent her and Xiangrong back to the manor. On the way, Feng Yu Heng finally asked the question in her heart: "Why is the treatment of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince so different?"
Xuan Tianming could not help but laugh, "This is a secret of the imperial family. After so many years, there are not many people who know about it. Look at us brothers, aside from Old Third, don't we all look a little like Lian Xiang? "
Feng Yu Heng recalled the princes she had met and nodded, "Indeed, all of them look a little similar. You mean to say that the Third Prince is not Father Emperor's son? " She then shook her head, "How is that possible, who would have the courage to make the Emperor a cuckold?"
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, a fierce look appearing in his eyes: "Who would dare? The North's Duan Mu family dares. I heard about this matter from eldest brother. The Duan Mu family sent a daughter into the palace; however, she was not even ten days pregnant. On the day she entered the palace, she thought of all sorts of ways to get Father Emperor's attention, but after the child was born, Father Emperor took one look and never went into that imperial concubine's womb again. Unfortunately, the situation in the North was not stable at that time, so this matter was suppressed. The old man thought that it was not something good, so he hid it as long as he could. Who knew that Old Third did not know what was good for him and actually tried to take the position of Emperor. Tell me, does he not deserve to die? "
Feng Yu Heng grinned from hearing this. The Duan Mu family really was talented! Instead of finding a place to hide this sort of daughter, they actually dared to send her into the palace. They really were daring. "No wonder when I whipped him into that state, Father Emperor didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. If I whipped you, Father Emperor would have chopped me up!"
Xuan Tianming glared at her, then the corners of his lips curled up into an evil smile. He leaned forward with a malicious smile and said, "So my wife likes this kind of thing. No problem, this husband is happy to cooperate. I promise I won't tell Father Emperor."
Feng Yu Heng also raised the corners of her lips and leaned forward a little. The two of them were almost nose to nose when she said, "Alright! Then why don't we try it now? " As she spoke, a soft whip appeared in her hand and she unceremoniously lashed out at Xuan Tianming.
