Chapter 146 The Emperor’s Punishment (Additional update for [-] subscribers and [-] fans!)
The moment he saw the King of Hejian, He Jin knew that his brother had gotten into trouble and kicked something he shouldn't have.
This person, let alone myself, would not dare to offend even my own sister easily.
He Jin hid in the corner for half an hour, feeling anxious, "Little sister, hurry up!"
"Hey, Mr. Yin Hefu of Henan is finally willing to show up?"
Although Liu Han had not met He Jin several times, he still recognized him.
"Henan Yin Hejin, pays homage to the King of Hejian."
Hearing his brother calling him King of Hejian, He Miao realized how much trouble he had caused.
"Do you know who she is?"
Liu Han pointed at the woman next to him, the one who was captured by He Miao, and asked with narrowed eyes.
Although He Jin had never met Cai Yan, he guessed her identity based on her age, temperament, and the way she stood calmly beside Liu Han, "He Jin pays homage to the princess."
Cai Yan's face turned red at He Jin's name, and he bowed in return, "You shouldn't be called that by the Lord."
princess.
She knew that she was not worthy of it now. If her virtue was not worthy of her position, there would be disaster. Although Princess Hejian was extremely honorable, she still had a long way to go from that position.
"He Jin, it looks like Gu has never offended the emperor's wife, right? Gu's princess has only been canonized for a few days, and Gu can't bear to lose a single hair of her hair. My brother is going to punish her severely. Should I punish Gu's princess first today? I'm going to come to the palace tomorrow to use the knife on Gu Gu, huh?!"
"I don't dare. I don't dare! Your Highness will investigate clearly!"
He Jin quickly knelt down. If the Hejian King Shanggang came online, if it was spread outside by someone with intentions, He Jin and others would conspire against him. Not only would he die, but even his younger sister would not be spared.
"Don't dare? Look how brave you are, Gu! Who is he? He dares to pretend to be Henan Yin. Where is the law of the Han Dynasty and where is the majesty of the emperor? Come here, drag him out and chop him up!"
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a chamberlain hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, and Lord of the Palace, following the Queen's oral instructions, it is announced that King Hejian, Princess Hejian, Henan Yin and the sinner He Miao will enter the palace immediately."
# He Jin's servant, carrying the token, entered the palace in a hurry and informed Queen He of the situation. In short, something big happened to He Miao, and he offended the King of Hejian, and his life was in danger.
As a younger sister, Queen He certainly couldn't leave her alone. That girl could make King Hejian so sad. No one else except Cai's daughter could do it.
So Empress He hurriedly asked her chamberlain to pass on the decree, announcing that the person involved would enter the palace, and the scene just happened.
Liu Han looked at the servant and knew that He Jin was not slow in his actions. He asked the queen to send someone to smooth things over so quickly.
If it were Liu Han alone, he would definitely not buy it, but when he looked at Cai Yan, he still held back. He was the queen after all, and he was the royal sister-in-law of his fiancée, so he didn't care. The worst he could do was not meet, but if the relationship between the sisters-in-law was broken, they might have a child. unnecessary trouble.
Liu Han knew that He's methods were very dirty.
"Let's go into the palace. I haven't seen the emperor's sister-in-law for a long time."
Seeing Liu Han relent, He Jin breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that there was room for improvement. Looking at his half-brother who had caused trouble, he hated iron for not being able to turn into steel. If he hadn't been obedient, He Jin would have thrown it away. In a remote county, out of sight, out of mind.
# This is the first time Liu Han has come to the West Palace. The late Empress Song originally lived in Changqiu Palace. Perhaps because of Liu Han, the Song family did not die. The emperor saw things and missed people, and always left a place for the Song family in his heart. Therefore, Although He was the queen, she was never able to move in and could only stay in the West Palace.
Although no one mentioned this matter, it has always been a thorn in He's heart. "After being dead for so many years, he is still acting like a monster."
If Liu Han knew about it, he might tell He that her rank was too low, "The only thing more difficult to deal with than Bai Yueguang is the dead Bai Yueguang."
West Palace.
Queen He sat at the main seat. Liu Han and He Jin only bowed slightly to salute. Only Cai Yan bowed to her in a formal manner.
"Oh, I can't accept such a great gift from my younger brother and sister. Please get up quickly."
Queen He lowered her posture so that Liu Han could not get angry.
"Come here, bring the rebellious minister who caused trouble!"
As everyone was paying tribute, Queen He ordered people to tie up the prisoner He Miao.
"You know the crime."
Although Queen He was not of high birth, she still had the majesty of someone who had been in power for many years.
When He Miao saw the queen, he immediately knelt down and said, "I guilty, I know my guilt."
"In that case," Queen He looked at the person involved, "Brother, brother and sister-in-law, you have the final say on how to deal with this person."
Liu Han looked at Mr. He and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If you really want to deal with him, why bother retreating in order to advance? Let me decide. Although the bitter plan is not clever, it is useful."
Liu Han admitted that he underestimated this person a little.
Cai Yan looked at Liu Han, blinking his big watery eyes, "I listen to you."
Liu Han grabbed Cai Yan's little hand and patted it slightly to reassure her.
Cai Yan's face suddenly turned red and he quickly lowered his head, "He actually held my hand in public! How embarrassing!"
"Emperor's sister-in-law, although I have been in Bingzhou for many years, I have not been disrespectful to you during the four seasons and eight seasons. Although I am not too close to you, I have never been disrespectful. But today, my little princess, the emperor's brother has just given me a marriage a few days ago. , Your brother dares to bully me like this. If I leave Luoyang, won’t I receive bad news about the princess soon?”
"The emperor is joking. This is just a misunderstanding. He Miao, why don't you quickly apologize to Princess Hejian!" Hearing this, He Miao quickly kowtowed to Cai Yan, "Princess, I am blind, and I deserve to die for my crime. , the crime deserves death.”
"Sister-in-law, since your brother is so pious, why not help him?"
Liu Han got off the donkey and was so frightened that He Miao didn't dare to speak. He deserved death, but he didn't want to die.
"This"
"Could it be that the emperor's sister-in-law feels that the majesty of the Tian family is inferior to the family affection of her own family?"
Empress He secretly scolded Liu Han for being difficult to deal with, but she still smiled and said, "The emperor is joking."
At this moment, the chamberlain announced, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone stood up and knelt down again.
It was naturally Empress He's idea to invite Liu Hong. Apart from the Empress Dowager, the only person in the world who could persuade Liu Han was this one. However, Empress He had never dealt with the Empress Dowager very well, so she could only ask the emperor to mediate.
On the way here, Liu Hong heard Zhang Rang's detailed report and looked at He Miao with murderous intent on his face. His holy plan almost fell on deaf ears in Luoyang!
But seeing the pitiful queen with red eyes, her heart softened again, "That's it."
"Where are they all here?"
"His Majesty."
Queen He wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Hong, "Brother, can you spare this idiot for once?"
Liu Han looked at the helplessness on the emperor's brother's face and instantly understood that the power of the gentry in the central and local governments was still too great, and the emperor needed his relatives to fight for his right to speak in the central government.
"It seems that the He family cannot be moved today."
In this case, Liu Han immediately changed his plan, "The emperor's words are so serious. No matter how ignorant I am, I can't offend the emperor's face. However, I have several conditions."
"Say, as long as I can do it, that's fine."
"[-]. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. Let this idiot stay in prison for a year."
"Yes, that makes sense. Come here, take He Miao down and give him a fifty-pound beating, and then throw him into Tingwei's prison for a year."
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, please spare your life! Please spare your life!"
"His Majesty."
"Ok?"
He wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Liu Hong's look.
"Second, although He Jin is Yin of Henan, he cannot escape the blame. His beloved concubine was frightened, and the compensation must satisfy her."
"Accurate. He Jin will be fined for three years, and the Queen will be fined for one year. As a warning to others, you'd better give us some snacks as gifts. I won't wipe your butts again."
"Here."
The two of them accepted the order, which meant that the emperor raised it high and put it down gently, and it was over.
"Finally, my brother has not been in Luoyang for many years, and the princess is not with him. My brother is frightened. Since He Jin is Henan Yin, my brother will leave the safety of the princess to He Fujun. If she makes any mistake, who can I find? I want you to give me an explanation."
"Well, this makes sense. He Jin, you have to reorganize the government office after you return. Since the emperor's brother has entrusted the safety of the princess to you, it is a great trust in you. Don't let him down, and don't let me either. disappointment."
"Sir, obey the order."
He Jin knew that he was in big trouble, but he was helpless.
"In addition, mobilize one hundred Yulin guards to protect the safety of Princess Hejian."
"My lady, thank you Your Majesty."
Cai Yan reacted immediately and knelt down to thank him.
Yu Linwei, the emperor's personal army, Cai Yan was flattered.
"No need to be polite, just accept it if I give it to you. The emperor's brother still has three thousand with him. He can use it as a matter of course. If there is nothing else, let's go."
After saying that, Liu Hong left, and the matter ended here.
"Sister-in-law, my brother has also resigned."
With that said, he pulled Cai Yan out of the palace.
"My lord, please retire."
He Jin also followed out.
After everyone left, Queen He overturned the table and said, "He Miao, you idiot!"
