"As the eldest prince, you actually fought with your younger brother over a woman, severely injuring him. This matter cannot be forgiven lightly. You are grounded for a month, and you must also pay the second brother 10,000 taels of silver as compensation!"
Emperor Liang said coldly.
call!
Hearing Emperor Liang’s punishment, Qin Wu breathed a sigh of relief!
"My son, I accept the decree!"
Qin Wu said in a deep voice.
"Shangguan Xiong! You framed the prince, what crime should you be punished for?"
Emperor Liang looked at Shangguan Xiong coldly and asked coldly.
Gum!
Shangguan Xiong swallowed hard, his face looking extremely ugly!
He felt that he treated Qin Wu sincerely, but Qin Wu didn't take him seriously at all. Emperor Liang didn't even use any tricks, but he just sold himself out.
"This... Reporting to Your Majesty! I was also deceived. I was not present at the time. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who told me everything!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Humph! You believe everything others say. No wonder you managed the government in such a mess when you were Prime Minister, and our Daliang's national strength continued to weaken!"
Emperor Liang scolded coldly.
Shangguan Xiong's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! I know I was wrong!"
"Humph! I'll deduct half a year's salary. If it happens again, I'll quit my job as a cabinet minister and retire as soon as possible!"
Emperor Liang said coldly.
Then, he looked at Wen Sanhu and said, "Master Wen, you also spoke about the Crown Prince's matter just now. Tell us about it. Were you also present at the scene?"
"This...I am not here..."
Wen Sanhu said in a deep voice.
Qin Wu immediately said, "Father! What Master Wen knows is all what I told him. This is all my fault!"
Qin Wu took the initiative to take the blame, and Wen Sanhu's eyes looking at Qin Wu became softer!
This scene made Shangguan Xiong grit his teeth. He had helped Qin Wu so much, but Qin Wu treated him and Wen Sanhu differently!
"Since this is all your fault! Then go kneel outside! Come! Give Qin Wu twenty lashes of the cane!"
Emperor Liang said coldly.
He wanted to expel Wen Sanhu from the court, but Qin Wu actually took the initiative to take the blame for Wen Sanhu, which made Emperor Liang very angry!
"Yes! I'll kneel outside right now!"
Qin Wu said immediately and retreated respectfully.
The matter of Qin Mang was basically resolved in less than half an hour. After the court was dismissed, Emperor Liang kept Qin Yu alone.
"When Qin Mang was beaten, you were at the Shangguan family. Why didn't you intervene?"
Emperor Liang asked in a deep voice.
He had spies in Shangguan Mansion, so he knew that Qin Yu beat Qin Wu. Moreover, when Qin Wu beat Qin Mang, Qin Yu was still in Shangguan Mansion!
However, according to his spies' report, Qin Yu disappeared for an hour and no one knew where he went, so Emperor Liang was very confused.
"Um...Reporting to Your Majesty, I originally wanted to hide away for a while, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to be so fierce. By the time I found out, my second brother was already seriously injured!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
He didn't dare tell anyone about his relationship with Shangguan Wan'er, otherwise, he didn't know what Emperor Liang would think of him.
"Do you know that because Qin Mang was seriously injured, General Su Tu of the Western Expedition is about to return?"
Emperor Liang said coldly.
"Su Tu! Is he Qin Mang's grandfather? This is going to be difficult. He's the General of the Western Expedition, and my eldest brother is the chief prince in charge of the troops. If the two of them clash, the imperial capital will be in chaos!"
"Father! It's time for me to report to the frontier. I'll leave today. Please take care of yourself, Father!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
