Next, Pang Xiangshou was paraded through the streets, and he was really spurned by 10,000 people. When people heard that this guy had embezzled Datang's money, which could be a huge amount of heaven, every bloody person would come out to scold and spit.

After that, Li Chengqian took the people of Zongzheng Temple to try the same trial, and Li Jing presided over the trial, during which Li Shimin sometimes sat on the side to observe, and after three days of continuous trial.

Finally, after the fourth day, Pang Xiangshou confessed.

At the same time, it also provides a network of many people with whom they are connected.

Regarding this, Li Shimin was very angry.

Ordered to block Pang Xiangshou's confession. Can't let him flow out, people are puzzled.

Li Chengqian explained that Li Shimin wanted to catch big fish, so he would do it. Only then did everyone understand what was going on.

After that, Li Shimin was not idle!

Li Chengqian, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Fang Xuanling were summoned to discuss the next moves. On the issue of the disposal of officials involved in corruption.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a solemn face. Obviously, this incident made him very depressed. After all, under his own governance, such a major event still happened, and even more terrible things were not discovered, if it wasn't for that letter, if it wasn't for Li Chengqian's appearance, then he was still in the dark.

"This Pang Xiangshou case has exposed the shortcomings of my Datang, about the management of the minister, I really had negligence, about the person Pang Xiangshou confessed, how do you think it should be punished? Also, about Pang Xiangshou, should be punished like this? ”

Li Shimin also has compassion for the officials who are loyal to him, and if he asks this, he does have some meaning of wanting to let Pang Xiangshou live. But I felt that something was wrong, so I asked everyone. I would like to hear everyone's opinions, especially what Li Chengqian means.

Then he said: "Let's discuss these two issues separately, and you can share your views." Let's talk about how Pang Xiangshou will be punished first! ”

Li Shimin looked at the four of them.

Li Jing saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Pang Xiangshou can be beheaded to show the public, and the people will be angry!" ”

He meant to kill it directly, and it was almost the same anyway!

Du Ruhui said: "Regarding corrupt officials, the monarchs of previous dynasties have different opinions, and the ministers think that they can let him live!" But it is necessary to transform him, so that his life is worse than death, and he must be shown to the people. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister and Li Jing have the same views. ”

Li Shimin already had the answer in his heart, but he just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

"Gao Ming, what do you mean?"

Li Shimin especially wanted to hear Li Chengqian's views, and only his views were the most important.

Li Chengqian actually has no special views on Pang Xiangshou's case.

He was like a stab in the throat about the corruption of the Tang minister.

"This, I agree with Li Jing's opinion, this person must be killed, so that the people can be angry."

In this way, Pang Xiangshou must die.

"Well, pass on my will tomorrow at noon, pull Pang Xiangshou out of the noon gate and behead!"

Li Shimin still listened to Li Chengqian's words, saying that if he cut it, he would cut it, there was no room for negotiation, and if Li Chengqian said no, he would not kill him 80 percent. This is the trust in Li Chengqian.

If there is a little yellow door, he will go down and give orders.

"Yes!"

Li Shimin then said: "Regarding the matter of Pang Xiangshou, stop here, and the people who help him, how to deal with it, do you have any ideas?" "The next thing is this, and he can't make up his mind. Take it out and discuss it directly.

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty thinks that these people have been directly executed like Pang Xiangshou!" ”

He advocated killing them, and there was nothing more relieving than killing them! And Li Chengqian also agreed to use this method just now.

And Du Ruhui said: "No, the involvement is too wide, and all of them are killed, which is a big shock to the imperial court, and the ministers think that they can all be reduced to one or three levels and punished for the embezzled money!" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "These people who are greedy are all sent to prison as punishment!" ”

It was Li Chengqian's turn again, Li Shimin didn't ask, but he said: "Your Majesty, these people are moths, but Erchen thinks that giving them a chance to take the initiative to admit their mistakes can give them a chance to educate." Now they are probably also panicked and scared to death. This time, it must be unforgettable! ”

He advocated that these people be spared. Don't kill! Li Jing was a little curious, but didn't say anything.

Give them a chance to admit their mistakes.

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, why was the punishment different from Pang Xiangshou?

So he asked, "Gao Ming, why?" ”

"Your Majesty, next, Erchen feels that he needs to educate about corrupt personnel, and Erchen thinks that there are more than a hundred corrupt people, many officials, more or less have problems, if it is too tough, the court will also be shaken, and now when the Tang Dynasty is taking off, it needs manpower, if they can take the initiative to explain, it is the best. It can also provide a reference behavior for latecomers. ”

"Well, I understand what Gao Ming means, so what exactly should I do?"

"Erchen has an idea for His Majesty's reference."

Then Li Chengqian began to say: "Set up a special dark room, located on the side of the East Palace, Your Majesty can first order everyone to check themselves, if there is a corrupt person, all the embezzled money will be handed over into the dark room, and after being counted by a special person, a piece of paper will be placed, and a piece of paper will be used by himself, with a unique number written on it, if it is found out next time, this paper can be used as a life-saving purpose." This process is anonymous and anonymous. ”

Li Chengqian paused, which made Li Shimin feel novel, because this had never been done before, and no one had done it before.

Then Li Chengqian said: "Of course, these are voluntary, and the imperial court will also conduct a review at the same time, once it is found that there are corrupt officials, there are two possibilities, the first is to count out the amount of corruption that is more than twice the contribution to the black house, and all of them will be beheaded, no matter how much money there is!" Second, if it is less than twice as much, and does not contribute in full, he shall be fined for one year, and all the embezzlement shall be put into the treasury. As for those who vomit it all, they can be rewarded for a year as a sign of determination. In this way, no one will dare to be greedy anymore, because there is only one opportunity, and there is only one string of mathematics! ”

Li Chengqian said it very clearly, and Li Shimin and the ministers could understand it.

"Then I want to see what it will be!"

Li Shimin said.

"Then please ask Your Majesty to implement it now!"

"Good! Spread my order, according to the clever meaning of the implementation, this time we must purge the corrupt officials of the Tang Dynasty! ”

It can be seen that Li Shimin's determination is very great, I am afraid that he has no determination, if it goes on like this, everything will wait for the final result.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Someone will go down to arrange it, and I believe that it will not take a few days to know the result.
