N-M Chapter 160 General Resigns
Chapter 160 General Resigns
"Oh, is that so?" Nalan asked suspiciously, turned to look at Jiang Bai, and said:
"Young Master of the Jiang family, is what Lang Shilang said true? Did you really post a reward for Lang Shilang on the dark web?"
Jiang Bai also didn't get up, sat on the seat, clasped his fists, and said bluntly:
"Returning to the Emperor, it is indeed true. But it was Lang Shilang who wrote a poem to humiliate and provoke our Jiang family first."
"According to the laws of the empire, those who seriously humiliate the royal family can be executed. I did this to safeguard the imperial law and the dignity of the royal family."
"If anyone can speak out and humiliate the royal family, then where is the dignity of my royal family?"
"The royal family cannot be humiliated, and those who humiliate them will be beheaded. This is the rule set by the ancestors of the Nalan clan."
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Nalan Xing looked at Lang Shilang again.
"this……."
Lang Shilang knelt on the ground, a layer of cold sweat could not help but overflow from his forehead.
In order to flatter his colleagues, he even forgot that the Jiang family was also a royal family.
The royal family cannot be humiliated, and those who humiliate will be beheaded.
This rule was established by Nalan Tian, the second emperor of the Shenhe Empire.
At that time, shortly after the empire had just stabilized, due to the sudden death of the first emperor, the court struggled for power.
Many heroes of the founding of the country, because of the loss of the suppression of the first emperor, became unscrupulous, and did not take the children of the royal family seriously.
They are arrogant and domineering, hold great power, treat the royal family as a display, and oppress them at will.
Nalantian is also among the targets of oppression. Therefore, he hated those who oppressed the royal family very much.
So, after regaining power, Nalantian made this rule.
The royal family cannot be humiliated, and those who humiliate will be beheaded.
Tick tock...tick tock....
The sweat on Lang Shilang's forehead fell to the ground drop by drop, resisting the panic in his heart, he said:
"Emperor...Emperor Lord...I just broke my promise for a while...I have no intention of humiliating the Jiang family, so I ask the Emperor to learn from me."
Ming Jian?
How to let him know?
Nalanxing looked at Lang Shilang with strange eyes.
The cause of the incident was clear to him in his heart. There was even him behind the scenes.
But he just let people test Jiang Bai, and didn't let Lang Shilang write poems to humiliate Jiang Bai.
Now that the poem has been published, how can he learn from it?
Everyone's eyes were sharp, even if he wanted to favor Lang Shilang, he couldn't do it right now!
Once he favors Lang Shilang, what will Jiang Bai think? What do the royal children present think?
At this time.
Among the three elders of the Wen Pavilion, an old man with white hair suddenly stood up, bowed his hands towards Nalan Xing, and said:
"Emperor, although Lang Shilang is guilty, but I believe that paying the crime will not result in death."
"What's more, even if Lang Shilang humiliated the royal family, he should be tried by the third judge and then sentenced according to the seriousness of the circumstances. Instead of Jiang Bai hiring the dark net."
"Darknet, darknet, they're just some rats in a stinking gutter."
"If they can judge the officials of the dynasty, where is the imperial law? What's the use of imperial law?"
Finished speaking.
The old man returned to his seat and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Lang Shilang's eyes lit up.
If he goes through three judicial trials, he still has a chance of survival.
The judges who are presiding over the case are all their colleagues. If he is a little more relaxed, he can save his family, his life, and his family.
"Yes, Mr. Ge is right. Even if Lang Shilang is guilty of humiliating the royal family, he should have gone through three judicial trials instead of hiring a dark network."
"If the darknet can judge officials, then what do we need to do for these officials? What do we need from the imperial law?"
"Yeah yeah."
"The minister is guilty of humiliating the royal family, so is Jiang Bai not guilty of hiring a dark network to kill officials?"
"Or does he think that if he has money, he can do whatever he wants?"
All the civil servants said something to me.
With Mr. Ge's words, they seemed to have regained their backbone. The previous fear of Jiang Bai disappeared in an instant.
"snort."
"Who doesn't know that you, civil servants and officials, love to confuse right and wrong and use various excuses to excuse yourself?"
"Don't say that it's only the royal family that Shilang is humiliating. Even if you scold the emperor in person, you will only say that Shilang is an upright and loyal minister who is risking his own life to remonstrate."
"The third court judge, in Cao's opinion, it's just that you want to exonerate the minister."
"Looking at the entire Kamigawa Continent, even a three-year-old child knows that you civil servants are ruining the country and are useless scholars."
In the general camp, a short general snorted coldly.
His words aroused the glares of all the civil servants.
"Cao Maozi, don't slander us."
"We, the civil servants, are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and we are willing to die to remonstrate for the sake of the entire empire. But on the other hand, you and other generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no ambitions. They have nothing to lose."
"Who in the entire Kamigawa Continent doesn't know that Cao Maozi loves wives the most. With a general like you, you can see the overall level of your generals."
"With your helpless people, I don't know when the Empire will be able to annex the Galactic Empire."
A group of civil servants criticized him verbally and penally.
Cao Maozi did not dare to show weakness, he smiled contemptuously and said:
"If you, my lords, think that our generals are all useless, then it would be better for your lords to go to the front lines and annex the Galactic Empire."
"I am waiting for the good news of your lords' annexation of the Galactic Empire, general."
"I just don't know. What you adults say sounds nice, can you do something nicer than what you say?"
"Absurd." A civil official stood up, pointed at Cao Maozi, and shouted:
"How can we, civil servants and scholars, go to the battlefield to fight and kill?"
"If you generals are too timid to fight, you can resign your official posts and go home to be a coward. Is there any reason to let civilian officials go to the battlefield?"
"If you're greedy for life and afraid of death, just say you're greedy for life and afraid of death. Why do you say it so grandly?" Cao Maozi said with disdain.
"you……."
"alright."
When the civilian camp wanted to say something else, Jiang Bai interrupted them, stood up, and said with neither joy nor sorrow:
"If many civil servants feel that the military generals are useless and cannot annex the Galaxy Empire, then it would be better for all the military generals to dismiss their duties collectively and go home to retire."
"I'm just a futile person. I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court. But I know that if we value literature over military affairs, our country will not survive."
"Emperor, I am not feeling well, please excuse me first."
Finished speaking.
Jiang Bai left his seat and strode out of the hall.
"I'm going to resign, and I hope the emperor will allow me to do so."
All the generals stood up at the same time and shouted loudly.
Without waiting for Nalanxing's consent, they followed Jiang Bai outside.
