Chapter 166 The Emperor's Punishment

When the eunuch asked them to go in, the two men ran in quickly because the ground was very slippery.

The two men quickly slid to their knees in front of Wen Shang and said nervously, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty!"

Wen Shang was already somewhat annoyed by the fact that the two of them went to the brothel, and now seeing them doing this made him even more sick.

Wen En was covered in anger and said, "I summoned you here today for something important.

I have also heard about what happened between you two these days.

Do you two admit your guilt?"

The two men immediately admitted their mistakes in a friendly manner and said, "I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have entered that kind of occasion in public. It's beneath my dignity!"

After listening to this, Wen En snorted coldly and said, "If you know this is wrong, why do you do it again?

Do you not take me seriously, or do you not take the laws of the Dayun Dynasty seriously?

You are truly my good subjects, yet you did such a shameless thing behind my back. "

After Wen En finished speaking, he threw all the memorials on the table to the ground.

The hall suddenly fell silent. No one dared to say anything and even held their breath.

Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin's breathing slowed down. They knew that the emperor would be angry, but they didn't expect that the emperor's anger level would be so high.

Wen En still forced himself to calm down, and then reluctantly said: "Luo Wenqian! Do you know who you are? You are the father of this Dayun Dynasty's lucky star.

You have completely lost face this time! You didn't attend the court, do you know how many people have impeached you recently?

I spoke for you in the morning court, but this is how you repay me?

Have you been living too carefree recently and want to make your life a little more difficult?

What did you say when you proposed to Wang Yuyuan?

Over the years, you have been to such dirty places as brothels countless times without Wang Yuyuan's knowledge. Don't you have any idea?

You say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. Have you been treated the same way during your years at Dayun Dynasty?"

The more Luo Wenqian listened, the more cold sweat he broke out in. Luo Wenqian knew that the emperor was very angry, but he didn't expect him to be so angry.

Luo Wenqian's hands and feet began to tremble. He really had not done anything good in these years. He used the power in his hands to do things that were harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.

If the emperor continued to investigate, it would be a complete disaster for him.

Luo Wenqian immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then the words Wen Jin said to him in the carriage emerged in his mind.

Luo Wenqian didn't care about anything else now. He knew that the most important thing for him right now was to get rid of the emperor's suspicion of him, otherwise all this would be in vain.

Luo Wenqian knocked his head until it was bleeding, then he raised his head, his eyes full of guilt, and his voice was already weak as he defended himself: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I know I was wrong.

But Your Majesty, I have never done anything bad in all these years. I went to the brothel this time because someone framed me.

Please, Your Majesty, give me a chance to prove my innocence, so that I can die without any complaints!"

When Wen Jin heard Luo Wenqian say this, she felt relieved.

As long as Luo Wenqian admits that all this was a frame-up, then there is still room for change.

When Wen Jin saw that the emperor was angry with Luo Wenqian, he was afraid that the emperor would be angry with him again, so he hurried out to prove himself and clear himself of the matter.

Wen Jin immediately defended himself with a resounding voice: "Your Majesty! I was in the same wing room with Prime Minister Luo at the time.

"Your Majesty, I and Prime Minister Luo were both framed! Otherwise, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to go anywhere."

Wen Shang had ignored Wen Jin, but now Wen Jin came to him on her own initiative. Wen Shang also knew what Wen Jin had done over the years.

These two people are just birds of a feather. They both relied on women to get to where they are today, and now they kick them out, thinking that they have relied on themselves.

Wen Shang clapped his hands, then laughed in anger: "Okay! Wen Jin, if you hadn't said anything, I would have almost forgotten about you, but you reminded me.

Didn't you propose to He Jingming yourself in the beginning? Why do you look down on others now?

You two hold high positions in the court. Tell me, who in this court dares to falsely accuse or frame you?

Why don't you just say it out loud? You keep saying that you were framed, but where is the evidence in your hands?

You can't do it yourself? You guys are really good at making faces!

Others hide their shortcomings by themselves, but what about you?

Is your brain full of mush? Do you have to go to the brothel and tell everyone that you can't do it?

People with ulterior motives would think that the entire Dayun Dynasty is not good enough?

You will really be embarrassed!"

Wen Jin was petrified when he heard this. He wanted to resolve the conflict, but he didn't expect that he would bring the conflict to himself.

Wen Jin suddenly regretted speaking for Luo Wenqian. Looking at Luo Wenqian, who was already shaking uncontrollably, she glared at him viciously several times.

My mind is racing now, trying to think of what kind of excuse I can come up with to get away with this matter.

Wen Jin thought for a few seconds and blurted out: "Your Majesty! Although the guilty ministers and Prime Minister Luo are in high positions, it does not mean that we are free.

The crown prince of the Dayun Dynasty has not been appointed for a long time, and all the princes are eyeing him covetously.

I am in a neutral state. Many people want to win me over, but I am unwilling. If someone tries to trip me up secretly, I will be unable to defend myself.

I have been able to get to where I am today, and naturally my wife has contributed a lot. After all the ups and downs over the years, I will not be so confused.

I beg the Emperor to give me a chance to find out who is behind this!"

Luo Wenqian saw that the embarrassed expression on Wen Shang's face eased a little after hearing Wen Jin's words.

Luo Wenqian immediately kowtowed and agreed: "I have always remained neutral. This royal heir is related to the future of the Dayun Dynasty.

It is impossible for me to join any prince's camp casually, so please give me a chance to make amends!"

Wen Shang also rose from a prince to become emperor, and he knew very well how many calculations were involved.

Wen Shang looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and recalled the days when he was trembling with fear for the throne.

Wen Shang sighed and said to the two people: "Since you think that the princes framed you, then find them for me!

If you can't find it, you will be punished for deceiving the emperor and be torn into pieces by five horses!"

Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin immediately knelt down to express their gratitude, and their hearts finally settled down.

Wen En then continued: "Since you all think that this incident happened because the Dayun Dynasty has no crown prince.

Then starting from today, I will begin to consider the candidate for the Crown Prince of Dayun Dynasty.

It’s better if you don’t have a team, otherwise, you know my methods.

You are now spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living!

It was you who entered the brothel, and you ultimately created a bad influence.

You will be fined three years of salary and suspended from work for three months! During these three months, you will copy the Dayun Dynasty Law a hundred times for me to serve as a warning to others. "

Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin were both not very satisfied with the punishment, but unfortunately this was the only option for now. If they continued talking, they would probably end up in jail!

Wen En thought for a while, and then added: "You will be suspended for three months, so you can privately investigate who framed you!

A three-month suspension is an opportunity for those people to expose their true colors. If you still can't laugh in three months, you don't need to be reinstated!

I will personally send you to heaven!"

When Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin heard this, they couldn't help but tremble all over, but now in front of the emperor, they still tried to remain calm.

Both of them felt very upset and thought that this punishment was a sudden disaster, but since the emperor had already spoken, they had to pretend that nothing had happened.

The two men knelt upright, their faces full of gratitude towards the emperor.

The two of them were even more dramatic, and immediately said to the emperor with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you for not killing us. We will do our best to find the person who framed us."

Wen En looked at the two people kneeling below and had already made a plan in his mind.

Over the years, some people have raised objections to them, and some have even reported them privately.

Wen Shang had also checked the whereabouts of these two people in private, and naturally knew that these two people were not good people, but it was just that the time had not come to deal with them yet!

The two men walked out of the hall, and the eunuchs who were usually respectful to them now raised their heads proudly.

Eunuch Zhang also mocked the two men in some ways: "I advise you to find out the person who framed you as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be something you cannot afford.

Don't enjoy the glory for too long or you will forget the way you came.

This old servant has followed the emperor for so many years and knows his temper to some extent.

This suspension and salary deduction is just to give you two a chance. If you still can't find out who it is after three months, I'm afraid you will lose your head next time!"

When Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin heard this, they were also frightened.

Although the emperor has been a little willful in recent years, he is still a wise ruler and he is not so easily fooled.

Seeing Eunuch Zhang's obvious change in attitude, the two men looked disdainful but still spoke respectfully on the surface: "Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Zhang!"

The two men walked away quickly. Eunuch Zhang looked at their backs and said with a mocking smile: "Some fish have grown so big that they really think they are carp!

Little do they know that this is just someone raising the fish and then killing them!"

The two men returned to the carriage, and the atmosphere became even more suffocating.

Wen Jin said calmly: "Now that we have come to this, I am afraid we have to advance our plan!"

When Luo Wenqian heard this, he was naturally a little unhappy.

He has been in the Dayun Dynasty for many years. If there were a sudden change of dynasty, he would probably be the one to fall to the bottom.

Luo Wenqian murmured reluctantly: "Is there no other way? This matter is progressing too fast.

What if this is a trap set by the emperor, waiting for us to fall into it? Then we will end up being killed by the sword!"

Wen Jin still understood Luo Wenqian and knew that Luo Wenqian was only thinking about his own wealth and glory.

Wen Jin said sarcastically: "Do you think it's a trap? Would the emperor use his own children as bait to trap us?

Are you a fool to be the emperor, or am I a fool? You just can't bear to give up your wealth and glory!

That’s right, after all, those who don’t have the ability to rely on others to get to the top have worked hard to get what they want.

If you were to live in a different dynasty, I'm afraid your abilities would make the gap between your current life and yours too big.

Have you ever thought about what options we have now?

You're going to die anyway, it just depends on how you want to die!"

The thing Luo Wenqian least wanted to face was this matter. He knew too well what kind of person he was, and of course it was impossible for him to give up his current wealth and glory.

Luo Wenqian kept dragging his feet on this matter. He felt that he could find a compromise, and then he would be able to possess all this wealth and glory for a long time.

How could Wen Jin let him go? With provocation in her eyes and threat in her tone, she said: "This matter has come to a point where we have to choose between two options.

If I tell the people over there, think about what the consequences will be.

Your life is as worthless as grass in their eyes. If you make such a mistake again, you should think carefully about the consequences!

This is not something I can decide. When it comes to a critical moment, people will choose to protect themselves. Don't blame me for not remembering our friendship. Think about it carefully!"

After hearing this, Luo Wenqian clenched his fists tightly. He really once regarded Wen Jin as a friend.

Wen Jin has been able to live such a stable life over the years, and his help is also a part of it.

Luo Wenqian didn't expect that after the incident, Wen Jin actually wanted to quickly distance herself from the matter.

Even at this point, they didn't even forget to threaten him, so he still felt a little disheartened.

Luo Wenqian didn't say anything else. He knew that there was nothing to say to such a person. He was just a villain!

Soon, they parted ways, which seemed to indicate that they would go their separate ways in the future.

After Luo Wenqian got off the carriage, he stopped where he was, looking at the carriage that was gradually going away, and recalled their past.

The two of them met each other in the most dangerous time, and gradually stood out among the unfavorable people and got their current position.

They have been keeping this secret for all these years, but now this secret is almost becoming a consensus among everyone.

Now they are faced with their own choice, whether to be enemies or friends, it all depends on what choice they make this time.

A tear seeped out of the corner of Luo Wenqian's eye.
