Ning Chen and others were brought into the hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Chen. Most of the civil and military officials had never seen Ning Chen, and they were curious about what the man who dared to kill the uncle looked like? But when they saw him, they were shocked. He was actually a young man who was still childish? "Your Majesty!" Gao Ziping and others knelt down and saluted first. "The guilty minister Ning Chen, you see your Majesty!" Ning Chen bowed. "Ning Chen, you see your Majesty, why don't you kneel down?"
The shrill voice of Eunuch Quan sounded. He was reminding Ning Chen that it would be fine at ordinary times, and the Majesty would not care about it... But now, if Ning Chen did not kneel, it would become a handle for these censors to attack him. Ning Chen frowned slightly. What he hated most was that this world would kneel down at every turn? Forget it, kneel down... After all, Emperor Xuan was still very good to him. He knelt down. Gao Ziping spoke first: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!" In fact, Yin Yi was not qualified to enter the court, but he sneaked in under the name of escorting Ning Chen, with the purpose of telling the story of the attack on the road. The Emperor Xuan said lightly: "Speak!" "I was ordered to escort Ning Chen, but on the way here, I was attacked by a killer... The killer's target was very clear, he was coming for Ning Chen." The Emperor Xuan's face suddenly sank. The whole court was in an uproar. Under the feet of the emperor, the wanted criminal under the imperial trial, dared to assassinate... This is challenging the authority of your majesty. "How dare you, how dare you, is this still my world?" The Emperor Xuan was furious. The ministers knelt on the ground in fear. The Emperor Xuan stared at Gao Ziping, "Who did it?" Gao Ziping trembled and said: "The situation is urgent, Pan Jinyi led people to resist the enemy, and the four of us escorted Ning Chen to be tried... The specific situation, I don't know yet." The Emperor Xuan's face was ashen. "Good, very good... Someone dared to assassinate the criminal I want to personally interrogate in the street. Do you still take me seriously?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. We are guilty!" The emperor was furious. The ministers were so scared that their foreheads were sweating. They all begged Emperor Xuan to calm down. "Calm down? Is this all you can say? Someone dared to assassinate the criminal I want to personally interrogate. Will they assassinate me tomorrow?" "Send an order to Geng Jing to investigate. We must find out the truth... No matter who it is, I will kill all his clans and never show any mercy." The ministers were so scared that they dared not breathe. The left prime minister lowered his head and his face turned pale... If any of these people were to fall into the hands of the Supervisory Department alive, he would be completely finished. These rubbish, who couldn't even kill one person, now angered His Majesty... The left prime minister cursed in his heart. "Your Majesty, calm down. We are guilty!" The ministers shouted again. Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Of course you are guilty. You are receiving salary from the emperor, but you let this happen under my nose... I will remember this account for you first." The ministers were horrified. "Dismiss the court, go home and reflect on your mistakes!" Emperor Xuan waved his hand and stood up to leave. The left prime minister quietly turned back to look at a censor. The latter trembled. His Majesty was angry. If he asked him to jump out at this time, wouldn't it be like asking him to die? But facing the threat of the left prime minister's eyes, he could only bite the bullet and kneel down to move out of the line, lowering his head and saying: "Your Majesty, Ning Chen has not been tried yet?" Emperor Xuan looked at him deeply, then pretended to be slightly startled, and said: "My dear ministers, I am so angry that I am confused." "Then, my dear ministers, tell me, how should Ning Chen be punished?" Punishment? Those who can stand in this court are all smart people, and they immediately tasted the meaning of Emperor Xuan's words. Your Majesty said punishment, but he didn't say to kill Ning Chen. It seems that your majesty does not want to kill Ning Chen. What is the relationship between this Ning Chen and your majesty? The left prime minister looked back again. A censor stood up and said, "Your majesty, Ning Chen ignored the national law, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and despised the imperial power... Any one of these is enough to kill nine clans." "Your majesty, Ning Chen killed the king's uncle with a knife, lawless, and killing nine clans is a foregone conclusion." "I dare to ask you to drag Ning Chen out and behead him immediately to set the record straight." "Ning Chen's crime is unforgivable, and his nine clans should be killed... Please issue an order to deal with him immediately."
One by one, the censors jumped out and started to attack Ning Chen. They looked like they would not stop until Ning Chen was beheaded. Ning Ziming was so scared that he almost collapsed on the ground, his eyes went black, and his head was dizzy... How could he have given birth to such a thing? I wonder if it's too late for me to sever the father-son relationship with Ning Chen now? The left prime minister lowered his head, with a hint of joy on his face... As long as Ning Chen was killed, the queen would have an explanation. Even if he was really found out, the queen would find ways to protect him. As for Ning Ziming, even his biological daughter, and three grandchildren... he didn't even consider them. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and the three grandchildren all have the surname Ning, not Chang... dead or alive, it doesn't matter. Emperor Xuan said indifferently: "It seems that all the ministers think Ning Chen deserves to die?" "Your Majesty, Ning Chen is lawless and despises the emperor's power. His crime is unforgivable!" "Such a villain, if you don't behead him, how can you convince the public?" "I beg your majesty to issue an order to immediately drag Ning Chen down and behead him for public display, to uphold the law." A group of censors raised their heads, looking like I am the embodiment of justice. Emperor Xuan glanced at Ning Chen, and then said calmly: "Since everyone thinks Ning Chen deserves to die, let's drag him down and behead him." Ning Chen was agitated, hey...is this called an interrogation? Without asking any questions, these officials beeped a few words and dragged me out to chop me down. How about playing? Gao Ziping and others turned pale. "Your Majesty, I have something to say." Old General Chen, who had been silent all this time, stood up on crutches. Emperor Xuan glanced at General Chen, coughed, and asked, "What does General Chen have to say?" "Ning Chen did commit a heinous crime, but when Ning Chen went to Chongzhou, His Majesty specially gave him a sword, and he had the right to kill first and then report." Yu Jian is actually Shang Fang's sword. Old General Chen continued: "As a member of the royal family, my uncle is supposed to love his people like his own son, care for the common people, and set an example... But he wasted no time in killing people, robbing civilian girls, and made it difficult for the people of Chongzhou to live... Ning Chen killed his uncle , but also out of necessity.” "At that time, the uncle of the state wanted to kill innocent people in front of Ning Chen. If Ning Chen turned a deaf ear, he would be sorry for God's grace and the people... He was a young man with a young heart, ill-considered thoughts, and was so passionate that he decided to kill the uncle with a knife. A reckless move." "Although Ning Chen did something wrong, I feel that there is a reason for what happened, and his crime will not lead to death!" All civil and military officials were stunned. Sword? Your Majesty gave Ning Chen a sword? Not to mention them, Ning Chen himself was confused... When did His Majesty give him a sword? What does Mitsurugi look like? Emperor Xuan looked ugly, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I gave him the sword to kill corrupt officials, not to kill the emperor's relatives."
Old General Chen said: "Although my uncle is a relative of the emperor, he is also a corrupt official... Therefore, Ning Chen's execution of him does not constitute contempt for the emperor's authority." The Prime Minister Zuo's eyes flickered and he felt uneasy, feeling that something was wrong.
