Chapter 11

"Ye'er, if you were to handle this matter, what would you do?"

The officials heard this and secretly looked up at Prince Ying Zi Ye.

They all wanted to see how this Prince would handle this matter.

And Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai also looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

The three stopped arguing, their eyes filled with pleading.

The scene immediately went quiet.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked around, finally stopping his gaze on the three of them, and smiled indifferently.

"Father Emperor, this is rebellion, a capital crime, unforgivable!"

"The faults of the three are also different; if I were to handle it, Father Emperor might find it hard to accept."

Hard to accept?

Ying Zheng was stunned.

It had reached this point.

He had also come back to life.

What else could he not accept?

Ying Zheng couldn't help but be curious.

"Tell me about it."

"There is nothing I cannot accept."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled and looked at Hu Hai.

"First, Hu Hai, considering he is of royal blood, he can be handled with discretion."

"But rebellion is a capital crime, heinous, death can be avoided, but living punishment is hard to escape!"

"He should be stripped of his status as a Prince, demoted to a commoner, and left to his fate! This is the greatest mercy for him."

"Otherwise, for such a person, just cutting him down with a sword would be light!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye's words made Ying Zheng look at him with new eyes.

He originally thought Ying Zi Ye wanted to kill Hu Hai directly.

Who knew he was only stripping him of his status.

He could accept this result.

If Ying Zi Ye said he wanted to kill Hu Hai, he would have to object.

No matter what Hu Hai did, he was still his youngest son.

Tigers do not eat their own cubs.

If he killed Hu Hai directly, it would invite criticism.

Hu Hai heard this and was paralyzed with fear.

His whole brain was a mess.

Stripped of his status as a Prince, that would be worse than letting him die.

Without this status, how could he live?

"Hmm, very good."

"And the other two?"

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Zhao Gao and the other.

Zhao Gao and the other were stared at by this gaze, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

The taste of being judged by others was really not good.

But they had no choice.

If you do something wrong, you have to accept punishment.

Ying Ying Zi Ye turned his gaze to Li Si, feeling many emotions in his heart.

"Li Si, his contribution to Great Qin is great, and his merit is undeniable."

"But the crime he committed this time is too great; merit cannot offset the crime, he should be sentenced to death!"

"Considering his great achievements, the crime should not implicate his family; his clan can be demoted to commoners!"

Li Si heard this, raised his head, and looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye excitedly.

He knew he was dead.

Even his family and relatives would find it hard to escape death.

After all, the crime he committed was too heavy.

But the Ninth Prince actually said it would not implicate his family.

He never expected this result.

This was a blessing in misfortune!

"Si, kowtows to the Ninth Prince!"

"Thank you on behalf of my whole family!"

Ying Zheng heard this and looked at Li Si with complex emotions.

It could not be denied that Li Si's achievements were great.

But now that he dared to rebel, not exterminating his three clans was already the greatest mercy.

Handling it this way was just right.

It did not lose royal majesty, nor did it wrongly kill a meritorious official.

The family of a meritorious official could also survive.

Demoted to commoners, this was the best destination.

Ying Zheng nodded again, approving of this handling.
