Princess Consort Is No Pushover

At this time, Yun Ruoyue walked towards Chu Xuanchen, and said, "Xuanchen, these people are indeed hateful for betraying their country and seeking glory, but their family members are innocent, can you give me a lighter punishment?"

Yun Ruoyue, who had received a modern education, could not accept the ancient punishment of punishing the nine and three clans at every turn.

The family members of these officials are innocent. It would be too cruel to directly punish the nine clans!

It's just like when Taifu Han's family was clearly innocent, but they were all killed.

Therefore, she hoped that this kind of thing would never happen again in the future.

Seeing what Yun Ruoyue said, Chu Xuanchen grabbed her hand without even thinking about it, and solemnly said: "Okay, Yue'er, I will listen to you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at those people and said sharply: "For the sake of Princess Li pleading for you, I don't need to punish your nine clans, but you have committed such a heinous crime that you deserve to be punished and must be executed. As for your family members , all the males were exiled, all the wives and daughters were not enslaved by officials, and the other servants were dismissed on the spot, so as to imitate others."

When Geng Tian and the others heard this punishment, they were immediately taken aback.

Su Ming said coldly: "Geng Tian, ​​the lord has already treated you lightly, why don't you thank the lord quickly?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Geng Tian said, and quickly kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

They originally thought that they would be punished by the nine clans, but they didn't expect Princess Li to save their family with a single word.

Even if it is exile and not being an official slave, it is better than being beheaded directly.

So they immediately didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and calmly accepted the fact.

If they continue to quarrel, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Li Wang will change his mind.

Seeing such a result, Yun Ruoyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

She doesn't agree with continuous sitting, but this ancient punishment is different from the modern one, and it cannot be changed in a short while.

Such serious crimes as treason are usually punished by the nine clans.

But Xuan Chen only punished the officials and their families, and released those servants without implicating their relatives, so it can be seen that he has lenient the net.

As for these few officials, they usually like to form cliques for personal gain, embezzle and accept bribes. They deserved what they did.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Come here, drag these traitors down and execute them immediately!"

"Yes." After the soldiers answered, they hurried to drag Geng Tian and others.

Soon, they dragged these officials down.

When the others saw this, they all sighed in their hearts.

Princess Li is really important in King Li's heart. A word from her can make King Li change his mind.

It can be seen how much His Highness Li Wang cares about her.

Now, no one dares to underestimate her, nor dare to underestimate her.

At this time, Su Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord and concubine, you have worked so hard all the way here, I'm afraid you need to rest. Now that these traitors have been dealt with, can the lord move into the palace immediately to rest in the palace?" "

"Enter the palace?" Chu Xuanchen said lightly.

Su Ming hurriedly said: "Yes, now the emperor has fled the palace, the palace is in chaos, and no one can make decisions. The prince drove away the enemy for us, and he is the greatest hero of the Chu Kingdom. The prince is the only son of the first emperor. Only the prince can preside over the overall situation. Besides, the witness who witnessed the emperor's murder of the late emperor was also in the palace."

Li Taishi, Jiang Muyu and several other ministers also hurriedly bowed their hands to Chu Xuanchen, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is waiting to welcome you into the city, welcome you into the palace."

Seeing that everyone said that, Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright then, the king will follow you into the palace."

Seeing everyone eagerly calling him into the palace, Chu Xuanchen thought, they must have something to say to him.

Then he went to take a look to see what these people were thinking.

"My lord, please." As Su Ming said, he said to the guards, "Come here, hurry up and lead the way, and welcome the lord into the city."

"Welcome the prince to enter the city." The soldiers on both sides also spoke mightily, and their voices resounded through the earth, very shocking.

Looking at these soldiers, after Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue nodded, they quickly got on their horses, led the large troops, and walked towards the palace.

Along the way, the two were very moved when they saw the streets on both sides.

It's been three years, and it's been three years since they left Shengjing City. Now that they finally came back, they realized that Shengjing City has changed a long time ago.

It has long since lost its prosperity and prosperity.

Now it has become dilapidated, old, gray and full of decay, like an old man with sores all over his body and a serious illness.

What was once bright and vibrant has long been turned into dilapidated and shabby.

Chu Xuanchen couldn't believe it. It turned out that this was the most prosperous and desirable place in Chu State.

When the carriage passed by Prince Li's Mansion, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue deliberately stopped.

They looked towards the gate of the palace, only to find that the Li palace hadn't changed much in the past three years.

It is still as majestic, solemn, and solemn as before, but there are no people inside, and it looks very deserted.

Chu Xuanchen knew that the reason why Prince Li's Mansion did not become dilapidated was because of the long-term maintenance relationship between the eldest princess and Su Qishao.

Seeing the mansion in front of him, the scene of him and Yue'er living here before appeared in his mind, how happy and happy it was.
