Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"The prince has made up his mind about this matter. Even if they go in, they can't change the outcome." Lin Tie said looking at the direction in which the three disappeared.

study.

Fan Xin sat in front of the big case and looked through the memorial in his hand. He said without raising his head: "I ordered not to see anyone. Who let you in?"

Zhang Huan and Cao Wei winked at Liu Zi, gesturing for him to speak.

Liuzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, although Lao Jiang is a little unruly in his private life, he has made many military exploits over the years, and there is no credit but hard work."

"Please spare him this time because he still has some use."

"Yes, we are brothers who have been born and died for many years. I really can't bear to see his head missing." Zhang Huan and Cao Wei agreed.

Fan Xin put down the file and glanced at a few people: "Is this why you forced your way into the Intelligence Department and injured Li Lang?"

Speaking of this, Fan Xin suddenly took a picture of the big case and said angrily: "Did you know that the Intelligence Department involves major national secrets, and no one except me is allowed to enter!"

"Tell me how you want to die!"

Liu Zi and others have followed Fan Xin for many years, but they have never seen him get so angry. They were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and whispered.

"Your Majesty, if the general is guilty, he will be beaten or punished as you wish. Can you spare Lao Jiang for a while? Don't worry, we will teach him a lesson for you when you go back!"

Seeing that these guys ignored the law and insisted on saving Jiang Ji, Fan Xinxin sighed secretly.

Now he finally understood why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to deal with those arrogant soldiers after he ascended the throne.

Although these people fought bravely, their own shortcomings were too great when the country was moving towards normalcy, which had seriously affected the operation of the court.

If we do not have the courage to kill these people and allow them to undermine the majesty of the law, sooner or later it will lead to an irreversible mistake.

With this thought, Fan Xinxin's idea of ​​erecting Dharma discipline became more determined.

"Jiang Ji colluded with the enemy to release the prince secretly, and tried to deceive the court. All of them are serious crimes. I have ordered that he be punished in three days."

"You all should go back. This matter has been defined by the court and cannot be changed!"

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and left the study, leaving the three of them with expressions of disbelief.

a long time.

Zhang Huan sighed: "Forget it, we have tried our best. Lao Jiang violated the national law and cannot blame others. All we can do is send him off for the last time."

Liuzi and Cao Wei nodded silently, got up and went back to the house, bringing some good wine and food to the Intelligence Department Prison.

Under the surveillance of dozens of intelligence agents, the wine jar was placed on the table.

Looking at the disheveled and haggard Jiang Ji, Liuzi said with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry, old Jiang, we don't have the ability to rescue you."

It seems that from the moment he entered the prison, Jiang Ji had taken a dim view of life and death, and smiled lightly when he heard this.

"I don't blame His Highness Prince Yan for this matter. I'm sorry for him first. Jiang is already very happy that you can come see me before he dies."

"Come, let's have one more drink before we hit the road. I won't be able to accompany you on the road from now on."

After hearing these words, everyone present felt a little uncomfortable, and silently picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Finally, he stood up, hugged Jiang Ji and left the prison.

When only Jiang Ji was left in the cell, Li Lang walked out of the corner. The two brothers sat facing each other without saying a word for a long time.

In the end, Jiang Ji couldn't help but raise the wine bowl: "You are also following orders in this matter. I don't blame you. Come and drink this glass of wine!"

Li Lang glanced at the wine bowl, then picked up the jar and started drinking.

Then he left the cell without looking back and said, "I'll have someone boil a bucket of hot water for you to wash well. You'll be ready to hit the road in two days." After that, he opened the door and walked out.

Looking at the disappearing figure, the smile on Jiang Ji's face faded and he sighed: "It's hard for you, brother."

Soon, three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the news that General Jiang Ji was sentenced to death for violating national laws spread everywhere like wings.

In the early morning, countless dignitaries came to the execution ground to watch, and everyone's face was very solemn.

Especially those feudal officials who have the power of following the dragon. In the past, they relied on their reputation as Fan Xin to do whatever they wanted and did not take the law into account.

Now that I see that even a die-hard direct descendant like Jiang Ji was killed for violating national laws, the last trace of luck in my heart has disappeared.

Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Di Renjie smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Jiang Ji has been with you for so many years, do you really want to kill him?" Until now, he still doesn't believe that Fan Xin will actually kill someone.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaojie, Wei Yuanzhong and others looked sideways, wanting to hear Fan Xin's answer.

Fan Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Juniors have no choice. If the national laws collapse, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't mention Jiang Ji today, even if I break the national law, I will still kill him!"

There was another reason Fan Xin didn't mention. Although his son was the emperor, he was too young. In order for him to be a benevolent king, he had to do the offending work with blood on his hands.

No matter how much infamy he bears or how many people hate him, he will pave the way for his son.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Fan Xin took a picture of the big case and said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring Jiang Ji up to show his integrity!"

"Yes!"

Several soldiers with command flags on their backs disappeared from the execution ground with fists in their hands. Not long after, a man with disheveled hair and prison clothes was escorted to the execution ground.

Fan Xin nodded calmly to Li Lang, who walked up to the prisoner to check, clasped his fists and said, "I would like to report to the prince, Mr. Di Ge and all the ministers. The prisoner has been found to be correct, shall I be executed?"

"The execution can be carried out!" Fan Xin threw down the signature without hesitation and ordered the executioner to start.

After receiving the instruction, the executioner raised his machete and chopped off Jiang Ji's head without saying a word. Several soldiers who were prepared quickly went up to collect the body and carried it to the Intelligence Department.

After doing this, Fan Xin walked to the execution ground and said to everyone, "The national law is like a mountain. No matter who breaks the law from now on, Jiang Ji will be his fate!"

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and robe and strode away.

……

Late at night, outside Chang'an City, there is a long pavilion ten miles away.

"My lord, your kindness will have to be repaid in the next life!" Jiang Ji said with tears in his hands and his fists in his hands.

Fan Xin straightened his collar and said: "The mountains are high and the roads are long. When you get to Lingnan, you have to work hard and try to develop it within twenty years."

"Remember, you cannot tell anyone, including your brothers and family, that you are alive."

Jiang Ji nodded with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will lead my subordinates to do a good job, and I will leave my children to you to take care of."

"Well, go ahead, I've already arranged the itinerary for you." Fan Xin said.

"Please take care of yourself. The general will leave now." Jiang Ji took a deep look at Fan Xin and Li Lang, then turned around and got into the carriage and drove away towards the official road.

Looking at the carriage disappearing into the night, Fan Xin took a deep breath and sat in the sedan to go to the palace.

Seeing his father, the little emperor pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, why did you kill Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Ji was the best to him in the past, so the little guy was full of dissatisfaction.

Princess Taiping slapped her son angrily: "Your father has his own reasons for doing this. You will understand it later."
