Chapter 138: Absolutely Unacceptable

  A group of people were sitting in the yamen of Gui Prefecture, all waiting for Yu Jing, waiting for him to come over from the scene of the case.

  Zhao Xi was also present, with a face full of sorrow and regret. He seemed to be deeply pained by the loss of a future useful minister.

  Cao Lin and others couldn't be accommodated, even if they could, Zhao Xi would have sent them to Di Qing's side. The guards should be under the command of Di Qing since they are going on an expedition.

  As for himself, including Zhang Suo, Di Qing doesn't care about it, and even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference.

  Doing this kind of underhanded thing, Wang Zhongzheng wasn't doing it for the first or second time, his expression didn't change one bit.

  It's just that he thought it was his turn last night, and Your Highness didn't need to dirty his own hands.

  He would never understand Zhao Xi's determination to take matters into his own hands... If he couldn't do it himself, Zhao Xi worried that he would become depressed.

  Scholar-official? Is this a scholar-official? What the heck!

  "Your Highness, fellow officials, Li Xianming, feeling ashamed to face the court, hanged himself while writing his confession and apology."

  Yu Jing handed the memorial that seemed to have been wet with tears and appeared somewhat crumpled to Zhao Xi...

  Zhao Xi flipped through the memorial, occasionally sighing and lamenting...

  "Is Bachelor Li Xianming allowed to have children? How old is he?"

  "What does it mean?" Zhao Xi asked, leaving Yu Jing speechless.

  The man is already dead and that's a kind of explanation for his desertion. What does it mean to mention his descendants?

  "There are four sons. Three sons have grown up, only the youngest is still in swaddling clothes, and was also born of a concubine from Guilin."

  Knowing is not speaking, Yu Jing did not understand Zhao Xi's intention. If the Crown Prince had any excessive behavior, Yu Jing would have stopped him.

  "Can all three sons make a living?"

  "I have one son who is fifteen years old and has never had a livelihood."

  "Scholar, Xi knows that during wartime the imperial court's documents are often blank. Xi humbly requests of the scholar, hoping that the scholar will take into account Li Zhi's sincere remorse and grant a favor to Li Zhi's youngest son..."

  This matter can be decided by the Crown Prince himself, why mention it in this grand hall? Yu Jing looked at Zhao Xi with a puzzled expression, her face full of sincerity.

  It's still the Li family, Li Zhi and Li Xianming, who have shown such a remorseful attitude, yet a single memorial of remorse can actually bring about the granting of titles to their wives and sons... Where else can you find such good fortune?

  One by one, those who had been perfunctory, secretly made up their minds, and absolutely could not be inferior to Li Xianming's intention of self-blame.

  Of course, there are also those who are no less than Li Zhi, hesitating whether to hand it over to the Crown Prince now.

  Compared with facing the questioning of the imperial court officials, it is much easier for the prince who was born and grew up in the palace to muddle through.

  With just this one memorial, it's enough to get a title for my son... The Crown Prince has spoken, and some insignificant positions in such a chaotic Guangnan, Yu Jing really can't refuse.

  To be honest, what the Crown Prince said yesterday, such as having to take responsibility and taking on all the blame, not many people believe.

  The prince also pulled Li Zhi's hand for the longest time, and the time they spent pulling each other was also the longest. I thought it was just a trick to fool Li Zhi, but the prince actually used his strength.

  It seems like they really mean it.

  Li Zhi is the only one of Zhao Xie's promised sinners who will be used immediately, and even the errand boy said... Guo Guanji Yiwenci.

  To be honest, during wartime, using one or two governors who made mistakes and demoting them to serve in the army would be a matter of course, and even if it were to be discussed in the imperial court, it would still be permitted.

  This is also the reason why Li Zhen sincerely repented.

  Di Qingwu people cannot be solely in charge, this is a national dynasty convention. Therefore, the person in charge of the southern expedition should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

  After analyzing each element, no one doubted the sincerity of the crown prince anymore.

  Every petition of repentance that was submitted would be personally reviewed by the Crown Prince, who would even point out some places where the sincerity was insufficient, and order them to make corrections.

  Words must be heavy, statements must be true, analysis of the heart must be thorough, and repentance must be sincere.

  To put it bluntly, the whole article just conveys one meaning... I'm really not a thing.

  There is a big cake hanging in front of you, and there is also the identity of Prince Taizi as a guarantee, and there is also Li Zhi's precedent as a standard.

  A letter of apology has finally been written.

  Di Qing was busy rectifying military discipline and boosting morale, while Zhao Xie was busy with this matter during this period.

  It seems like they really need to be saved from their depraved souls.

  Seeing the crown prince acting like this, Lü Gong had wanted to remind him several times, but swallowed his words each time.

  These years of interacting with the Crown Prince, in his heart, he never thought that the Crown Prince would be so brainless. But after coming to Guangnan, everything about the Crown Prince was somewhat subpar.

  These people, including Lv Gong, have all carefully reviewed their resumes and none of them come from a high-ranking family background, they are all born into humble families.

  Isn't it because Your Highness the Crown Prince has yet to take control of them?

  Han Yun included Su Song, the three of them had exchanged and had deep worries. As for Wang Tao, he was a very disciplined person, saying what should be said, doing what should be done, never getting involved in messy things.

  He is not like others who have almost all family members as successful candidates and officials.

  "We, as officials of the Eastern Palace, originally had the responsibility to correct Your Highness's behavior. Now, regarding this matter, Your Highness has gone too far."

  "Moreover, regardless of the low character of these seven individuals, once Your Highness ascends to the throne and employs them, it will inevitably lead to criticism from the imperial court."

  No matter what the real purpose is, a decent excuse is always needed. Lv Gongzhu and others are getting impatient.

  "Your Highness..."

  "Your Highness..."

  This was still after coming to Guangnan, the first time the Crown Prince visited their residence.

  "Everyone is here, great!"

  It's really embarrassing, they were just discussing how to persuade Your Highness and point out the pros and cons of what you did, when suddenly you walked in.

  "Xī needs everyone's help with something this time..."

  Zhao Xi in Hu Wei Ying, often speaks very casually, and has also gotten used to it over the years. However, asking them for help this time still feels a bit unexpected.

  "Requesting the imperial court to issue a clear edict to the provinces, prefectures and military commands, so that officials at all levels may take it as a warning, and if there is fault, correct it; if not, encourage them..."

  Lü Gongzhu was stunned by the text handed over by Zhao Xi, which looked like a memorial...

  "I need you all to write a family letter to the elders, brothers, sons and nephews, as well as friendly officials in the imperial court, to attach their opinions after my memorial is presented to the imperial court."

  How ridiculous! What's the point of scholars living? What are they living for? They all live for a reputation, relying on their fame.

  Although these people were defeated and their reputation was ruined in Guangnan, they could still be officials in other military states with ease.

  The behavior of a few people is despicable, but it's also clear in the imperial court. However, Your Highness' actions are purely to make them have no place to survive in the country again.

  It's a bit too much! But somehow, at this moment, I feel at ease in my heart.

  Zhao Xi just looked on, waiting for these people to make a statement. They are all considered to be truly his own people, and this is the first time he has spoken out in court. Zhao Xi wants to know whether the power he has cultivated can be used at critical moments.

  "Your Highness, must it be done this way?"

  Once this memorial is presented to the imperial court, the originally benevolent reputation of the Crown Prince will be completely ruined.

  "Our dynasty does not kill scholars and officials, but I really want to make them despair, and also inform the officials of our dynasty that abandoning the people, abandoning the city, and fleeing without a fight is something I absolutely will not tolerate!"
