Chapter 198: Severe Punishment
"Bold! Good you Li Xiaochang, the so-called so-called ruler of the country, the Lord is clear; The so-called rebels of the country are victorious. And you rebel with your own selfishness, you are a sinner through the ages, and you have all been exposed, but you still don't repent, you are simply damned! Moreover, the current emperor can retire and live an enviable life, which is a fairy-like life, which people cannot hope for. But you speculate that he's not doing well. In fact, it is a cover for your own rebellion. ”
Li Chengqian's way of governing the country is admirable, and this must be affirmed.
As long as the emperor can make people live a good life, he must be a good emperor, why overthrow him?
If you want to build a stronger country yourself, but usurp the throne, you are stealing the fruits of others, and this kind of behavior is a banditry.
When Li Shimin and Empress Changsun heard Li Chengqian's statement, they felt very pleased.
Isn't that what they want him to think?
In their opinion, there is such an explanation.
Li Chengqian is like expounding a fact, which is very convincing.
"Qian'er is right, that's it. Li Xiaochang, you made a mistake, you can't repent of your mistake, and you say such a rebellious thing, it's really chilling. It's also in vain for the emperor to reuse you! You are revenge! ”
Empress Eldest Sun said.
said that Li Xiaochang was embarrassed.
Cheng Yanjin also said: "When you are a courtier, you must have the appearance of a courtier, and a person like you should be cut with a thousand knives, even if you die, you will have to be violently corpsed for three days to show the people." ”
Although Cheng Yanjin is a martial artist, he still knows what is right and wrong.
As for the rebellion, it is really undesirable.
Killed, a hundred.
If all the civil and military officials were there now, 100% of them would advocate killing them. They are the cancer of society!
And Li Shimin opened his mouth at this time: "Li Xiaochang! In the case of your rebellion, there are all human and material evidence, the charges are confirmed, and the will of the people will be passed on, and the son will be killed on the same day to warn the people! As for the immediate family, kill them all! To prevent future troubles! ”
It's not that Li Shimin is too brutal, but when he kills a Li Xiaochang, his immediate family may resent him, and rebellion is a big crime. They should be killed, and all of them should be killed, so as to prevent future troubles.
This is a great rebellion, and no one will feel sorry for killing it.
But Empress Changsun said: "This matter was done by Li Xiaochang personally, and the concubine thought that his family was actually innocent and there was no need to kill him." Severe punishment is enough, one person does things and one person is responsible, and all the people in the world will definitely feel relieved by the emperor's benevolence. ”
Empress Eldest Sun thought further.
This point did not make Li Shimin, who was in a rage, not expect.
He was very angry, but when he heard Empress Changsun say this, it seemed that he was too.
So he changed his tune.
"I listen to my concubine!"
After all, the family members are all innocent, and there is no need to kill them all, which Li Shimin really did not consider.
"Passing on my order, Li Xiaochang was directly cut off, and his immediate family members, some were officials, some were demoted to the people, some were in business, their property was confiscated, and all of these people were assigned to the frontier! Never be reused! ”
This is also considered merciful.
Otherwise, all of them would have to die.
He also just let the direct line be assigned. There is no punishment for the side, otherwise this volume will be large, and it will cause some unnecessary trouble. Because Li Xiaochang's identity is Li Shimin's uncle, this is why he does not move.
But his way of giving people room to learn.
Li Chengqian summed up three points in this point.
The first is that the punishment and sentencing are appropriate, the second is that the state treasury has been filled, and the third is that these people are time bombs, blocking their road to becoming officials, so that they can serve the people well, and they don't have to think so much.
Look at Li Xiaochang again, the whole person is slumped on the ground.
Then someone took it down.
When he rebelled, he should have known that this would happen. Few of the rebels in ancient times were successful, because the roots were not right, and the end was often miserable.
After disposing of this goods,
And Li Shimin looked at the other four.
These four people participated in the rebellion and should also be convicted.
"As for the four of you......"
Li Shimin is about to start, and they are probably going to suffer too.
And Li Chengqian came out at this time and said: "Father, although these four people have great faults, they can be regarded as some merits, and the sons think that the death penalty can be avoided!" ”
Li Chengqian said very vaguely that capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Punishment is definitely going to be.
And there is also an eldest grandson An Ye here.
He can also be regarded as the eldest brother of the eldest grandson Wuji, the so-called not looking at the monk's face, but looking at the Buddha's face.
Li Shimin naturally has a way to deal with it.
So he said: "All four of you are reduced to the people, you will never be reused, your property will be confiscated, you will be distributed to the frontier, and you will be left to fend for yourself!" ”
Then he said, "Parade in the streets for three days at the same time!" Let all nations know what you do. ”
For Li Xiaochang's punishment, he was punished at the same time.
As for these four people, it is not the same, their families are safe.
But because of this, their family will be ruined, because all their possessions will be confiscated.
What else could they do?
For these pampered people, going to the frontier is worse than death.
But it's better to die than to live, and there are infinite possibilities to live.
Therefore, it is also the best ending for them.
It's just that there are people who make people feel hopeless.
But what about it?
Liu Deyu, the eldest grandson Anye, Du Caigan, and Yuan Hongshan were relieved and made a big gift to Li Shimin.
This time they did it wrong, and it was best to survive.
"Xie Huang opened the Internet!"
After that, he said to Li Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness Prince Xie!" ”
This is what Li Chengqian promised them, and this is also the gratitude he deserves.
"Come on, take them down!"
Li Shimin shouted.
Then the four men were brought down.
From then on, they were not qualified to stay here.
Li Shimin also didn't expect that he would find out about Li Xiaochang's rebellion because of the investigation of the assassination of the prince.
This is something he did not expect.
I don't want to see it.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly asked: "Just now, Li Xiaochang didn't let me enter the mansion to search for Xu Jingzong, this Xu Jingzong must also have something to do with the rebellion, right?" ”
It's something that people can think of.
As soon as his words came out, Li Chengqian said: "No! Li Xiaochang's rebellion had nothing to do with him. He has something no worse than the four! ”
Sometimes, he will talk about things, anyway, Xu Jingzong is also a dying person, and with him, there is also the group behind him.
This rebellion really has nothing to do with him.
The unwarranted accusation will only put him in a difficult situation, and it will also make his favorability in front of Li Shimin low.
Li Shimin also wondered.
"What is Qian'er's opinion?"
Empress Eldest Sun also wanted to know why.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian opened his mouth that everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.
