Chapter 163: Double Reed

On the wharf, Ah Yue, who was dragging Sun Xiangfu's clothes, looked at the crowds of people on the dock with a blank face, in her cognition, Yangzhou and Luoyang are already the largest and most populous cities in the world, many times more than Lingnan, but I didn't think about it, compared with Chang'an, it is really a small thing, just a person on the dock, there are so many people that her entire sight is occupied, how many people are there!

"The hero is back······"

"Xu Xian is back······"

The cheers of more than 100,000 people, Sun Xiangfu is a little unable to find the north, and the eldest grandson is playing so big! With so many extras, how much does it cost to appear!

"Husband."

"Xiu'er."

On the edge of the dock, Yu Xiuer quickly rushed to Sun Xiangfu, who had just landed on the shore, and regardless of the defense of men and women, her delicate body threw herself into Sun Xiangfu's arms.

"Oh~~~"

The scene of more than 100,000 people cheering was really like a tsunami, and the soldiers of the left and right guards who came in a hurry were all frightened by this wave, and thought that there was chaos!

"Hehe, the scene is big enough, but I don't know whether to bluff or not to live those ministers." Sun Xiangfu whispered in Yu Xiu'er's ear.

"Why did that husband cause such a big incident and let so many people worry about you!" Yu Xiu'er's tone was not without blame.

"Well, what is in my head, you may not understand now, but you will understand it later, what does the emperor plan to do with me?" Sun Xiangfu pretended to be relaxed.

"The news that came out of the palace yesterday was that he was on death row." When Yu Xiu'er raised her head again, she was already full of tears.

"Death row? It seems that Wang Lin is going to succeed this time. Sun Xiangfu smiled indifferently, then turned his head to look at the crowd of onlookers, and released Yu Xiu'er from his arms in his hand.

"There are all the fathers and villagers here to welcome you, my Sun Zhengming has done something that violates the law of the country, he should be punished by the law of the country, you don't have to shout for me, disperse early, go home!" Holding his fists towards everyone, Sun Xiangfu raised the qi in his chest and shouted loudly.

"No, Lord Sun is for the country and the people, and those Japanese people should be killed······"

A shout came from the boat behind the dock, and at this time, a group of ragged people came on the stage, according to the arrangement of Changsun Chong, below, it should be their play.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Chang'an, the Japanese people are obedient on the surface, but secretly they have taken my Tang people as slaves, and we are the people who escaped only after Lord Sun's full rescue, those Japanese beasts ······"

This actor's box lunch has to add chicken legs, he told the whole story vividly, the audience and friends who listened to it were in tears, and the onlookers who came to watch actually didn't even have a trust, most of them really heard the story made up by Changsun Chong, and came to see the excitement.

Now, more than 2,000 people of the Tang Dynasty who claimed to have been rescued by Sun Xiangfu from the hands of the Japanese people told in front of them about the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the Japanese people, no matter whether others believe it or not, anyway, these people felt that they had seen it with their own eyes, so they believed it.

Under this powerful emotional rendering, everyone felt that Sun Xiangfu was too wronged, so after one of them took the lead, everyone waved their fists and shouted, "Sun Zhengming is not guilty of saving people and defeating the dog thieves of the Japanese country." ”

Then, under the leadership of Tuo, this group of people walked towards the gate of the imperial city, and because there were too many people, they blocked the servants who came to escort Sun Xiangfu to Dali Temple and the attendants who came to send a decree to Wei Shuhuan and Li Gongyan, Feng Zhidai and others to meet back to the imperial city.

"Zhengming, you're making too much trouble!"

Wei Shuhuan and the others knew that Sun Xiangfu's family of men and horses had made a big move in Chang'an, but they didn't expect it to be so big that hundreds of thousands of people went to the imperial city to ask for their lives, this was to force the emperor to pardon him!

"Hehe, no way, the kid is afraid of death, it's better to get insurance."

"People like you will never die."

Wei Shuhuan pointed at Sun Xiangfu, and then walked quickly towards the crowd with Li Gongyan, according to the system, when they returned to Chang'an, they should go to see the emperor as soon as possible.

The Golden Water Gate Pier was on the side of the Imperial City, so in less than a quarter of an hour, these people were led by Toto and the actors to the Imperial City Gate, led by the actors wearing beggar makeup, and everyone knelt down outside the cordon of the Imperial City guards and shouted slogans towards the Imperial City.

"What's the noise out there?"

As soon as Li Shimin asked, a general standing in the hall hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered at the gate of the imperial city, shouting for Sun Zhengming. ”

"What? Several hundred thousand? ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, especially the officials of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames, who all felt that things were not good, and they all looked at each other.

This kind of large-scale people's petition is the first time in Datang, Li Shimin doesn't need to ask everyone's opinions, and directly said, "Zhongqing, follow me to the city to see the situation." ”

Soon, Li Shimin led a group of ministers to the city wall of the imperial city, and as far as the eye could see, there was a large area of Wuyang, and there were really tens of thousands of people, seeing so many people speaking for Sun Xiangfu, those ministers who had just asked Sun Xiangfu to behead Sun Xiangfu did not dare to speak rashly, even the big families did not dare to offend the anger.

"Xuan Cheng, how should I decide on this matter?"

Li Shimin directly ordered Wei Zheng's general, because he is now the imperial historian, in charge of the official and the atmosphere of the court.

"Uh, this, the minister thinks that the people's will is irreversible, Sun Zhengming's matter, whether there is another hidden reason or not, Your Majesty should first issue a pardon to temporarily appease the people, so as not to change, as for the specific disposal, you can discuss it later."

Well, there is a sentence about the head of the official, even if there are officials who want to hold on to it, they can't do it, everyone has said that the pardon of Sun Zhengming is to compromise with the people, and how to do it will be discussed later.

And the goal that Sun Xiangfu wants to achieve is that the emperor just said in public that he would not kill him, and he would not believe that Li Shimin dared to be an untrustworthy emperor.

"Do you have any objections to Xuan Cheng's words?"

What if there is an objection? Being held by so many people, if you have objections, you have to have a way to settle the matter in front of you first, there is no way, if you have objections, don't open your mouth.

"The minister agrees with Wei Xuancheng's words." Fang Xuanling and other ministers who didn't want Sun Xiangfu to die came out one after another at this time.

"Ministers seconded the ······" Not only Sun Xiangfu's related households, but also those ministers of the seven sects and five surnames who knew that this matter had developed until now and could only deal with it in this way.

"However, Sun Zhengming's violation of the law of the country is an unforgivable crime, and you are forcing me to ignore the law of the country!"

Okay, at this point, it's Li Shimin's play, but you ministers unanimously said pardon, don't come and persuade me to do repeated things when the time comes.

"Your Majesty, put the will of the people first." Wei Zheng spoke again, and Fang Xuanling and others echoed again, helping Li Shimin sing this play more completely.

"In this way, I had no choice but to issue an order, temporarily pardon Sun Zhengming's capital crime, and the secretary supervised the draft." Li Shimin said that Gao Shilian, the secretary and supervisor, was listed, and due to the changes in history, he had not been demoted.

"Sun Zhengming, the lower pastoral supervisor, is eager to save the people, violates the law of the country, remembers his dedication to the people, and pardons his crimes, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, and he is now removed from his official position, removed from his status as a royal retainer, demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in Dali Temple, and sentenced to 100 days."

After that, Li Shimin strode under the palace wall amid the praise of the minister's 'Your Majesty's wisdom', and later, Gao Shilian would naturally post this holy decree in the form of an imperial list for the people to see.

The capital crime was changed to a common person, and he was sentenced to a hundred days, hearing this, Qin Qiong and the others were relieved, and looked at Li Shimin's back gratefully.

You must know that Wei Zheng actually said that he would pardon first, and the specifics would be discussed later, but Li Shimin directly made a specific punishment, so it was not good for the ministers to discuss the punishment after that, after all, it is a common practice for one crime to be punished again, and then punished is a credit problem that changes the order of the day, and unintentionally, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin completed a double play.
