Chapter 292 Princess Yonghua
In front of everyone present, Yan Zheng really punished himself with three drinks.
In fact, three glasses of wine is nothing.
But the essence of the matter is that the eldest prince put down his body and apologized to Yan Li in front of the queen, the prince, the ministers of Jin and the envoys of Mu.
That's what matters most.
What happened in Yanling caused the greatest loss to the second prince, Yan Chen, and was insignificant to the other three princes, and was even beneficial.
But what was revealed in this incident made it impossible to take Yan Li for granted as an innocent and harmless little princess who had just returned.
"The Kang family has committed many crimes, far more than just one." Yan Li looked around at the ministers in front of her. Even if she didn't recognize any of them, it did not affect her momentum at all. "What's more, what if he had made contributions to Yanling? Could it be that he was the leader of the Jin State? The law means that merits and demerits can be compensated, and no matter how serious the crime is, it can not be investigated? "
Yan Zheng drank three glasses of wine, put down the wine cup, and said, "There is no such rule in the Jin Kingdom, but the imperial sister is new here, so she may not know much about many things."
Yan Li nodded slowly: "I really don't know much about many things in the Jin country, but I know a little about what the Kang family does. Their behavior no matter which country they are placed in, is bullying men and dominating women, running rampant, and talking lightly. The point is to harm the people, and the point is to have no imperial power and regard the law as nothing, even if it means killing the Nine Clan."
The ministers present looked at each other.
They all felt that this princess didn't understand the rules too much. If the eldest prince said something, she would say ten things.
Isn't it too arrogant for her to argue with the eldest prince even if he doesn't even know how to step down?
"Imperial sister just said that the eldest son of the Kang family captured you in the middle of the night and kidnapped you?" The fourth prince, Yan Yun, raised his eyes slightly, as if he was concerned about her safety. "It stands to reason that the post house is heavily guarded, so there is no chance for him to succeed. ”
Yan Li said calmly: "Every time there is a sparseness, no matter how strict the defense of Guanyi is, there will be times of negligence. Not to mention the middle of the night, the guards on duty will inevitably get sleepy, giving people opportunities to take advantage of."
Yan Yun asked: "Has the imperial sister ever punished those who neglected their duties that night?"
"We have never been." Yan Li said, "The situation was urgent. The Prime Minister and General Xuan arrived at Kang's house in time, and I was rescued. After explaining the cause and effect to them, I went back to the hotel to rest. I don't have so much time and experience to consider pursuing the case. People who are derelict in their duties.”
Yan Yun frowned: "So if you don't protect your master well, shouldn't you be punished?"
"The fourth prince may have made a mistake." Yan Li looked at him coldly, "The seriousness of the guard's negligence is far less than the Kang family's sins. Besides, they neglected their duties. I am the one who decides whether to pursue them. I will not They can be let go if they are investigated, but for the crimes committed by the Kang family, it is the victims who decide whether to pursue them."
Yan Yun's expression changed slightly.
"When we left Yanling yesterday, people were watching on both sides of the street. They prepared rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in advance to see off the Kang family. Does the Fourth Prince think they are sad about what happened to the Kang family?"
Yan Yun was speechless, and then smiled awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. Did the imperial sister misunderstand what I meant? I just think that the imperial sister is too kind and can not hold accountable guards who neglect their duties. She is so kind-hearted. Master, it is their blessing."
Yan Li didn't say anything, and his eyes passed over the faces of Yan Zheng and the four of them, seeming sad and confused: "When the four royal brothers went to the Kingdom of Mu to see me, they clearly acted like good brothers who loved their sisters and were always worried. I will be wronged, why do you act so aggressively when I come to Jin?"
Yan Zheng showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Emperor Sister, we don't-"
"It is natural for a brother to love his sister, and the four princes are no exception." A middle-aged military general on the opposite table said, with a bad look on his face, "But the princess should put herself in a suitable position. If the princess doesn't understand Rules, as brothers, the princes have the right to make suggestions."
Yan Li looked up at him: "Huh?"
The middle-aged general seemed to be reprimanding an ignorant child: "The princess has no power to deal with the family at all. Even if the family makes a mistake, it should report it to the emperor and queen first before making a decision!"
Yan Li sneered: "The Kang family trapped us in Guanyi as soon as they came up. I wish I could leave Yanling."
The middle-aged general said coldly: "That's not the reason for the princess to overstep her bounds!"
"I overstepped my bounds, what can you do?" Yan Li sneered, "Do you want to kill me? Do you dare to kill me?"
The general's expression was gloomy: "You——"
"May I ask if the general's surname is Rong?"
The middle-aged general was startled, then slowly narrowed his eyes: "The princess seems to know me."
"Of course we know each other." Yan Li smiled faintly, "General Rong has close ties with the Kang family in Yanling. I'm afraid they have become people in the same boat. Naturally, he is very concerned about the fate of the Kang family. After all, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer. "
"Nonsense!" General Rong said with a livid face, "The princess is spitting blood! Has this general ever had any dealings with the Kang family?"
"The white jade screen that General Rong gave to the Kang family has now become the property of this princess." Yan Li looked as usual, not frightened by his anger, "General Rong is really a generous person."
"White jade screen?" The fourth prince Yan Jin, who had never been born, slowly turned his head and said with some surprise, "Is it the white jade screen that the queen mother gave to the Rong family?"
General Rong's expression changed little by little: "It's not at all——"
"Would you like to lift the screen up so that the Queen and the ministers can take a look at it?" Yan Li narrowed her eyes, "The Kang family personally admitted that it was a congratulatory gift from General Rong. Why doesn't General Rong dare to admit it?"
General Rong's face turned pale: "I..."
"That's enough." Jiang Yi had heard almost everything and finally raised his head to stop the argument. "Yan Li is my daughter. Today, I allow you to discuss and debate with her just to give you a chance to get to know her, not to let you find an excuse to make things difficult for her."
The Grand Tutor bowed: "I dare not."
General Rong followed reluctantly and apologized.
"In view of Yan Li's performance in Yanling and the rumors that have been spreading all over Jin recently... Well, let's call them rumors. Anyway, even if they are not rumors, you will treat them as rumors." Jiang Yi smiled gracefully, "Appoint Yan Li as Princess Yonghua, and Yanling will be regarded as her fiefdom, and will be under Yan Li's jurisdiction in the future."
What?
All the princes and ministers present were shocked and turned to look at the queen in disbelief.
"Mother!" Yan Chen was shocked, "This..."
"Please think twice, Queen." The Grand Tutor stood up and walked directly to the palace and knelt down. "Since the founding of Jin, there has never been a precedent of an emperor's daughter being named a princess, and there has never been a saying that a princess who has not yet reached the age of marriage can be given a fiefdom. Please ask the Queen to rescind your order."
