Cannon Fodder is King [Quick Transmigration]

When the emperor goes to court, all the officials will naturally be present.

Seeing Zhao Lingwu come in, all the officials bowed their hands in salute: "Song Guogong."

Zhao Lingwu blushed: "Lord Lu, Master Zhao, Master Liu..."

Since Emperor Ning Wu ascended the throne, the position of Duke Song's mansion among the nobles has risen, and it seems to be the leader.

Who made Emperor Ningwu call him his father for more than 20 years, but Emperor Ningwu was a filial man, and after only two months of enthronement, the rewards were carried into the Duke of Song's mansion like flowing water, even though this filial piety was mainly aimed at the Xiao family, but in the end It was Zhao Lingwu who made the profit.

Thanks to him, Zhao Yijing talked about another marriage a few days ago. The woman is the daughter of the Changxing Hou family, and she is more than a round younger than Zhao Yijing. Just as no one dared to mention the identity of his son-in-law, the incest scandal between Zhao Yijing and his concubine naturally disappeared overnight.

So in general, the two are fairly well matched.

He Song Guogong's mansion finally made it through.

Zhao Lingwu stroked his beard and beamed with joy.

At this moment, a eunuch shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"

All the ministers immediately returned to their positions and stood up, and the originally lively hall fell silent in an instant.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Meng Zezhi walked to the throne and sat down: "Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, long live."

After waiting for a while, no one came out to give a performance, so Meng Zezhi asked, "Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?"

Dengwen Drum is under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay: "I don't know."

"Tao An."

Meng Zezhi was about to send someone to summon him, when he heard a rush of footsteps, the minister of Dali Temple trotted in, knelt down and said: "My minister Xiao Yunqi, long live long live my emperor."

Meng Zezhi took a deep breath: "Do you know about the sounding of the Dengwen drum?"

"Long live the report, I came from the Meridian Gate." Dali Siqing said with a look of hesitation, "It's just that I really can't make up my mind."

"What?" Meng Zezhi said.

"Long live back," Xiao Yunqi straightened up, holding a fluorene board in his hand, "According to the "Da Yang Law", in order to prevent unprovoked treacherous people from maliciously petitioning, it is stipulated that anyone who beats the Dengwen drum will be given a thirty-eight stick."

"Yes." Meng Zezhi remembered such a saying, he picked up the tea bowl on the imperial table and moistened his throat.

"But the person who beat the drum is, it is Mrs. Fengsheng." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunqi fell to the ground.

"What?" Meng Zezhi stopped drinking tea.

"Mrs. Feng Sheng?"

"This, what is this?"

"Yeah, all right..."

……

All of a sudden, the whole court was shocked, civil and military officials were talking about it, and then they seemed to remember something, they all looked at Zhao Lingwu and his son standing among the military officials.

It took a while for Zhao Lingwu to come back to his senses. Perhaps there was a ghost in his heart. He clenched his fists suddenly, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.

Meng Zezhi understood it, and then suddenly raised his voice: "Have you already hit me?"

"I dare not wait." Dali Siqing said hastily.

He's not that stupid yet, who is Mrs. Fengsheng, the eyeball of Emperor Ning Wu.Don't say it's a court stick that can beat people half to death, even if it is knocked and touched, there is no good fruit to eat.

Meng Zezhi felt relieved and was silent for a while, then he cleared his throat and said, "I said on July 29 that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Madam Fengsheng is no exception."

He paused, and said slowly: "It's just that Mrs. Fengsheng is getting old, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the [-] court sticks. How about this? How can I say that Mrs. Fengsheng has raised me for so many years, and the [-] court sticks, I accept it for Mrs. Fengsheng."

With that said, Meng Zezhi stood up and was about to step down from the throne.

When all the ministers heard this, they knelt down on the ground and shouted: "No, how can the body of a thousand-year-old daughter be humiliated by the court staff?"

The imperial cane is different from the general beating board. It is to take off the pants to expose the buttocks and legs, and then dozens of sergeants take turns to carry the cane while shouting.After the beating was over, the person had to be wrapped in a thick cloth, and several people worked together to throw the criminal up and onto the ground.

Strong people can last for eighty times, and those who exceed one hundred are often killed on the spot.Even if he doesn't die, he has to cut off several bowls of rotten flesh and treat it for more than half a year.

The court rod is not only a physical torture to the prisoner, but also a spiritual humiliation.

……

"My minister is willing to accept this imperial staff on behalf of Mrs. Feng Sheng."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched like thunder, and they all said, "The ministers are willing to accept this imperial staff on behalf of the holy lady."

Zhao Yijing's face darkened, he knew that if he didn't stand up at this time, he would be stabbed to death tomorrow.But these ministers dared to say such things, purely because they were sure that Emperor Ning Wu would not really do this.But he is different, he is the biological son of the Xiao family in name, once he stands out, the thirty court sticks will definitely fall on him, that is the court stick...

Just when Zhao Yijing was fully prepared and was about to stand out, a voice full of air came from beside his ear: "Long live, just listen to what I say."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

A middle-aged man stood up at the end of the civil servant sequence.

Meng Zezhi looked at him strangely and turned his head.

Tao An immediately leaned into his ear and said, "That's Mr. He Qingyun, the new censor of the Zuoqian Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

I just heard He Qingyun say: "Long live benevolence and filial piety, I respect and respect you. It's just that it is not advisable to give up the body of ten thousand times and favor small righteousness. In ancient times, there was Shangtang, who cut off his hair and claws, and showed himself as a sacrifice. The Society of Sanglin. Your Majesty, why don’t you follow the example of the ancestors, and use the dragon robe as a substitute, and accept this court staff on behalf of the saint’s wife, one is for the filial piety of the whole Majesty, and the other is for the peace of mind of the officials.”

According to historical records, after the founding of the Shang Dynasty, there was a severe drought for many years, and the grain was not harvested. The minister in charge of religious sacrifices said that people should be used as sacrifices to pray to the sky for rain.After Tang knew about it, he cut his hair and claws as his substitute, and prayed for rain.After the people knew about it, they were very moved, and finally it rained heavily.

When all the ministers heard it, they all echoed: "What Mr. He said is very true, please think twice long live."

Meng Zezhi couldn't help giving him a high look, and hesitated for a while, until all the ministers shouted 'Long live and think twice' again, then he sighed and said: "In that case, let's follow He Aiqing's words."

"Long live the wise."

After finishing speaking, Tao An bowed and retreated, went back to Zhaoren Hall to pick up a dragon robe and sent it to the Meridian Gate in person.

About a quarter of an hour later, a guard came to report: "Long live Qi, the execution has been completed."

Meng Zezhi immediately said: "Xuanfeng Sheng's lady is going to the palace."

"Proclamation of the holy lady to the temple—"

As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Shi was about to kneel down, Meng Zezhi stood up from the dragon chair in a flash, and Tao An hurriedly helped him up.

However, Mrs. Xiao refused to let her go, and insisted on kneeling down: "My wife kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Meng Zezhi sat down slowly: "Madam, please get up."

Xiao Shi has no intention of getting up.

Meng Zezhi had no choice but to ask: "Why did Madam beat the Dengwen drum?"

Seeing that Xiao's eyes were red for an instant, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you go back to Long Live, I will sue someone."

Zhao Lingwu's heart skipped a beat.

"Who to sue?" Meng Zezhi's tone was not kind, and he was naturally targeting the person Xiao Shi wanted to sue.

Xiao said with hatred: "Sue the Duke of Song, Zhao Lingwu, to stop his wife from entering into a family, confuse the blood of the Duke, and deceive the king."

"What?" Meng Zezhi's expression changed.

All the ministers were shocked.

Zhao Lingwu and his son's face paled.

"What's going on?" Meng Zezhi said in a deep voice.

"Long live, Zhao Lingwu's original wife and family were lost during the war. At that time, his mother was seriously ill, and he had no money to ask a doctor to treat him. It happened that his wife's father was looking for a wife for his wife, so Zhao Lingwu lied that he was unmarried and brought his mother into marriage. Later, my father-in-law joined the Emperor Taizu, and Zhao Lingwu joined the army under the arrangement of my father-in-law."

"It's just that I didn't expect my father-in-law's eyes to be mistaken. The person selected by thousands of picks turned out to be a white-eyed wolf. He became wild when he was successful. As his status in the army rose, he began to be dissatisfied with his status as a son-in-law. He actually used the minister's wife as a threat to force the minister's wife's father to accept a dowry gift from him, canceling his status as a son-in-law."

"You talking nonsense?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lingwu felt like tearing apart.

Back then, it was clear that Xiao's father took the initiative to ask for a dowry gift from him in order to win him over, which was regarded as canceling his status as a son-in-law.

Meng Zezhi grabbed the tea bowl at hand and smashed it on Zhao Lingwu's forehead. With a bang, the tea spilled all over his body, and the tea bowl left a hole on his head, and bright red blood seeped out in an instant.

Meng Zezhi's gaze was like a torch, and he said sharply, "Did I let you speak?"

The hearts of all the officials froze, Zhao Lingwu was struck by lightning.

Meng Zezhi managed to soften his tone: "Madam, please continue."

"Thank you, long live." Xiao said with a sob: "Afterwards, the world will be settled, and at the juncture of meritorious deeds and rewards, his original wife Zhou Suniang came to the door. In order to keep his title, Zhao Lingwu sent Zhou Suniang Raised outside the house."

"Two years later, Zhou Suniang and the minister's wife gave birth at the same time. The minister's wife was dystocia, and the child was dying after birth. The doctor said that he might not survive the night. So Zhao Lingwu took care of his heart and replaced the minister's wife's child with Zhou Suniang's child. child……"

Xiao burst into tears: "My wife is like a fool, she has spoiled a bastard like a treasure for more than 30 years, and has been played by Zhao Lingwu for more than 30 years...Long live, you have to make decisions for my wife!"

Meng Zezhi's eyes turned red instantly, and he gritted his teeth: "Ma'am, do you have proof?"

Mrs. Xiao sobbed and said, "Long live, everyone from the Zhao clan in Zhaojia Village, Wannian County, Raozhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, has witnesses. There is also Mrs. Ma Feng. Her late husband Ma Sihai was once a close friend of Zhao Lingwu. In this matter, she Also know."

Meng Zezhi looked at Zhao Lingwu with a livid face, and asked, "Song Guogong, I ask you, is it true that Mrs. Fengsheng told you to stop marrying a wife?"

Zhao Lingwu's face was ashamed, Xiao Shi was right, everyone in the Zhao clan was a witness, and the things he did could not help being investigated, and Emperor Ning Wu was obviously on Xiao Shi's side again.

It's over, it's over...

He knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "I am guilty."

"That is to say, the matter of changing sons is also true?"

Zhao Lingwu closed his eyes: "Minister, death penalty."

Zhao Yijing collapsed on the ground, his face pale.

"Okay, okay." Meng Zezhi took a deep breath: "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely give you justice today."

He shouted: "Where is the Ministry of Punishment?"
