Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 313 Atonement with Money
Dragon Palace.

The servants and maids of honor stood at the door neatly, with lowered eyebrows, but all of them looked strange.

In the main hall behind them, a shrill scream sounded from time to time...

In the distance, a petite man ran over cheerfully, followed by two maids, and kept calling: "Your Highness, fill up..."

The little man ran straight to the entrance of the Dragon Hall, staring with big black eyes, and asked in a childish voice, "Is the father there?"

The servants and maids saw that it was His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, and hurriedly leaned over to be rude. The head of the servants, Wang Dewen, said: "If you go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is..."

Right at this point, a high-pitched scream came from the hall behind him...

Princess Jinyang could tell that it was Fang Jun's brother-in-law, her face turned pale with fright, and said in panic: "Is the father going to kill Fang Jun's brother-in-law?" Jun's cry was so miserable that he was in a hurry.

Wang De's old face twitched...

"That's not the case, it's just that His Majesty is very annoyed, Fang Shilang is afraid that he will be taught a lesson by His Majesty this time."

I also admire him from the bottom of my heart, this Fang Jun is indeed so cowardly, he actually said that he likes Princess Changle in front of his father, Sun Chong, this is simply courting death, okay...

When Princess Jinyang heard this, she didn't care about etiquette anymore, she jumped up the steps with her short legs, and ran into the hall.

Wang De did not stop her, as long as the little princess was able to go wherever her majesty was, even if her majesty was discussing important government affairs, she would not shy away from it. Her Royal Highness Xincheng Princess is also incomparable...

Princess Jinyang stepped up the steps, ignoring the maid who followed behind her, and hurried into the hall, feeling a little dumbfounded...

But he saw his father wearing his helmet and armor, majestic and majestic, holding a wooden stick, confronting Fang Jun.

Fang Jun also had a wooden stick in his hand, but...it seemed to be much shorter than that of his father, and he didn't have any armor on his body.

I saw my father took a step forward, smashing the wooden stick in his hand down on his head, making a whistling wind.Fang Jun had no choice but to raise the stick to block, but was flipped by his father's wrist, and the stick flew away, and then a bunch of them hit his left shoulder. Fang Jun screamed "ah", stepped back a few steps, and kept rubbing shoulders.

His Majesty Li Er swung the wooden stick across, and proudly said: "Pick it up and continue!"

Fang Jun had a bitter face, so he had to dawdle to pick up the lost wooden stick, waved it twice, but threw his hand violently, threw the wooden stick away, and said with a stiff neck: "Your Majesty wants to be beaten and punished. What’s more, why is it so difficult? Not to mention that you are wearing armor, this minister is indeed wearing single clothes, which is not fair at all. Besides, if you give this minister a hundred courage, he would not dare to attack His Majesty. In my heart, Your Majesty, you are the wise and mighty Tian Khan, an emperor through the ages! It is a great honor for me to be able to bask in the glory of Your Majesty, and I am willing to accept my life Serve me up, how dare you be disrespectful to His Majesty?"

The little princess was still thinking about how to intercede with her father to Fang Jun's brother-in-law. This stick made her feel a little distressed, but when she heard Fang Jun's words, the little princess almost wanted to cover her face.

So shameless...

No wonder the outside world said that Fang Jun's brother-in-law is a sycophant, there is indeed some truth.

His Majesty Li Er was obviously disgusted too, he glared at Fang Jun for a while in a dark and strange way, and then said, "Truth?"

When Fang Jun heard this, there were obvious signs of looseness in these words, he quickly nodded his head, and said with a sigh: "It's more real than real gold!"

His Majesty Li Er let out an "oh" and said casually, "If that's the case, then you should commit suicide to show your loyalty to me."

Fang Jun was dumbfounded: "This..."

His Majesty Li Er stared and said: "Why, don't you want to? Didn't you just say that even if I want your life, you will not hesitate?"

Fang Jun is sweating profusely!

Your Majesty, that's just a metaphor, a metaphor!You also said that "the heart follows the sun and the sun is high, and the ambition and the autumn frost are clean". Is it possible that your heart can really fly to the sky?
His Majesty Li Er said again: "Since you don't want to, then I won't make things difficult for you."

Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty Li Er's words made him wonder what to say, but his Majesty Li Er continued to say: "But what you just said is deceitful words. According to the law, you should be beheaded." !"

Fang Jun was completely convinced...

Yesterday at the picnic on Zhongnan Mountain, I had such a big oolong, and I was uneasy after returning home.Princess Changle is His Majesty Li Er's favorite eldest daughter, how can Fang Jun be so frivolous?
He went to discuss with his father Fang Xuanling, and was spat on by his father, after which he instructed him to enter the palace quickly and take the initiative to plead guilty to His Majesty.

In the end, His Majesty Li Er threw him a bastard without saying a word, and then he put on his helmet and smashed his armor, saying that as long as Fang Jun can hit his torso ten times, he will spare Fang Jun...

Fang Jun is not a fool, let alone ten blows, he can't hit him even once!

Not to mention that this is the Tang Dynasty with no sky and no human rights. Beating up the emperor is a serious crime, and it is the Great Heaven | Dynasty of later generations. Would you like to beat Xi's father?I can't kill you...

Anyway, no matter what he does or says today, His Majesty Li Er must let His Majesty Li Er express his anger. Of course, it is impossible to continue to be beaten... The emperor really did not hold back. The stick just now almost beat him to death .

How to make His Majesty Li Er vent his anger?

Bankruptcy and avoid disaster...

Fang Jun cupped his hands and said: "I have heard that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! It's not that the minister is greedy for life and afraid of death, but really wants to keep this useless body, do his duty loyally for your majesty, and die for himself! Your Majesty has great faith, and the establishment of the "Shenji Camp" has been accomplished. It's just that the country is in trouble and the finances are tight. I can't bear His Majesty's troubles about money and food, so I found another way and planned a project for the "Shenji Camp" Hundreds of thousands of money have been raised. Although the "Shenjiying" is deeply relied upon by His Majesty, it is still a start-up, and there is no need for this much money. I am willing to hand over half of it to the treasury to fill the country's finances, so that the people of the world Everyone can bathe in the grace of the emperor..."

Hundreds of thousands of...

His Majesty Li Er suddenly regained his spirits.

"Is this true?"

Fang Jun said affirmatively: "It's more real than real gold!"

His Majesty Li Er clicked his tongue, why do these words sound familiar...

However, facing the temptation of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he couldn't care less: "When will it be released into the national treasury?"

Fang Jun didn't hesitate at all: "After autumn, before the Western Expedition!"

Right now, His Majesty Li Er is going to conquer Gaochang Kingdom in the west and Goguryeo in the east. The strength of the army is not bad, but because of the snowstorm and drought in the past two years, the money and food reserves are stretched. It can impress His Majesty Li Er more than money and food.

Wouldn't it be "redemption" to just do this by yourself?
The use of gold to ransom punishment has always existed in ancient times.

Emperor Jing adopted the method of "transporting millet to border counties to get rid of crimes". This kind of millet atonement system is actually a way for the country to make money.In addition, the Han Dynasty also allowed the payment of money, payment of money, and loss as redemption penalties.

Emperor Hui issued an order in the first year: "If the people are guilty, they must buy [-] grades of nobles to avoid capital punishment." Ying Shao wrote: "The value of the first grade is [-], and the value of the other is [-]." …

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, a very strict and specific system of ransom was formed, each penalty stipulated the corresponding amount of ransom, and the circumstances in which the ransom system was applicable were clearly stipulated.

"Law of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates that ten to fifty five grades of flogging and one catty to five catties are redeemed for copper, with a difference of one catty for each class, sixty to one hundred rod punishments, and six to ten catties for copper redemption.Imprisonment for one year will redeem 120 catties of copper, and exile for two thousand miles will redeem 120 catties of copper.The copper for hanging and beheading for the death penalty is [-] catties.The maximum amount of redemption for copper is [-] catties, and the minimum is one catty.

Of course, there is no redemption for committing ten heinous crimes.

Seeing that His Majesty Li Er seemed to be in a good mood, Fang Jun took the opportunity to say: "Well...Your Majesty, you can see that this matter is indeed the fault of this minister, but the matter has come to an end and cannot be changed. From now on, this minister and grandson Shaoqing Colleagues are officials, it's hard to avoid embarrassment if you don't look up and look down all day, so..."

His Majesty Li Er frowned: "You want me to transfer Chong'er away?"

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Actually, it's okay to transfer the humble officials, and the humble officials don't care about high officials and generous salaries."

But his heart is like a mirror, except for himself, who can play the "Shenji Camp"?His Majesty Li Er is not a fool...

"Hehe, this is called advancing by retreating? In your heart, you must think that I will not transfer you, because no one can play with this 'Shenji Camp' except you, right?" His Majesty Li Er snorted , Breaking through Fang Jun's tricks with one word.

Fang Jun was speechless, this is too fine...

"It's just a misunderstanding, and it's fine if you say it. Compared with Chong'er, he is not a narrow-minded person." His Majesty Li Er wrote lightly.

Fang Jun had nothing to say.

The benefits are in your hands. At this time, you said you misunderstood?

Who was the one who was about to be killed just now?
Your Majesty Li Er is really shameless...
