"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. But please, for the sake of Jiang Jing, don't castrate Jiang Heng. Give him another chance. Otherwise, Jiang Jing will not be able to rest in peace in the underworld. "The empress bit her lip and said angrily.
The emperor had never hit her.
But now, he had hit her for the first time in front of everyone.
How could she, the empress, show her face now?
Whenever Emperor Hongyuan thought of Jiang Jing, he couldn't help but sigh.
All these years, if he hadn't thought of Jiang Jing, he wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Jiang Heng.
It was for Jiang Jing's sake that he pretended not to know about those scandals.
In the past, when Jiang Heng made a mistake and played with the wives of officials, it was Madam Wei who settled it with money.
Now that she had reported it to the imperial court, how could he cover it up?
Next to him, Qin Hong cursed in his heart, "The emperor better have someone castrate Jiang Heng. Only then will The Emperor of Li be happy."
If The Emperor of Li was happy, his life would be saved.
At this time, Madam Wei prostrated herself at the emperor's feet and begged with tears and snot, "Your Majesty, Jiang Heng made a mistake. You can punish him however you want. I only beg you not to castrate him. He is still young and unmarried. The Jiang family is loyal and has served the country all their lives. In the end, they don't even have a descendant. How can I face the ancestors of the Jiang family in the underworld?"
Emperor Hongyuan could empathize with her when he heard this.
mark(“zhong“);
As a man, if he didn't have a descendant, the family would be extinct. All the glory and wealth that Madam Wei had earned would be gone.
Moreover, Jiang Jing had even blocked a sword for him and sacrificed himself for him.
If Jiang Jing hadn't died, he might have been able to teach Jiang Heng and he wouldn't have been spoiled like this.
Now, he was in a dilemma.
On one side was Qin Hong, who wanted justice. On the other side was the son of his savior. It seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't resolve this conflict.
Although the Empress had been slapped, she still stubbornly persuaded, "Your Majesty, please spare Heng 'er this time. Chenqie believes that he won't dare to do it again. If you really castrate him, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. In the future, who would dare to do their utmost for the Emperor and die for him? Lord Qin's concubine has been wronged, and our imperial family can do our best to compensate as a show of comfort. This concubine believes that Lord Qin has always been sensible and magnanimous. He will definitely understand Your Majesty's difficulties and will not force Your Majesty into a dilemma. "
After the Empress finished speaking, she glanced coldly at Qin Hong.
The moment Qin Hong received the Empress's gaze, he was so frightened that his body trembled.
The Empress's words seemed to be flattering him, but also seemed to be blaming him for making things difficult for the Emperor.
How could he dare to be aggressive towards the emperor?
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Madam Wei's attitude is very good. She didn't cover up for Jiang Heng and took the initiative to bear the responsibility. This humble subject also does not wish to trouble Your Majesty because of this humble subject's family matters. Your Majesty, in this humble subject's opinion, you can punish Jiang Heng lightly, but there is no need to castrate him. Let him properly reflect in prison, turn over a new leaf, and strive to become a new person. "
Hearing Qin Hong's words, Hongyuan Emperor found a way out. He sighed and said, "Lord Qin is still magnanimous. The Duke's Mansion has wronged you. Take these banknotes back and comfort your concubine. You don't have to return them to the Duke's Mansion. Come, pass on my order. Jiang Heng has committed such a serious crime. Immediately send him to prison and lock him up for three months. After three months, if he truly repents, he can be released. If he doesn't change and is still stubborn, then continue to be locked up! "
