Chapter 930: Plea for mercy
In the afternoon, the spring breeze was warm and the temperature warmed up, and after Murong Ziyan had a few drinks, she went back to the hall for a lunch break.
The hall is spacious, there are glass screens on all sides, the windowsill is lined with a flower-like lamp stand, the shape is beautiful, the incense burner is dyed with incense, Murong Ziyan lay down on the brocade couch and quickly fell asleep.
Luo Zhaoyun waited for her to fall asleep before leaving, walked out of the palace, looked at the afternoon sun, and groaned slightly, feeling the need to talk to Li Xiuning.
How to deal with the Li family, as well as Li Yuan's father and son, he has not yet made up his mind, whether to ask the queen of the autumn or open the net.
Tang King Li Yuan, the city is very deep, so many years of forbearance, and finally entered Chang'an, and quickly established a stable Li Tang Dynasty, which is related to his personal ability and influence, and can make the Guannei gate valve and the old nobles of the Great Sui support him, which in itself shows Li Yuan's ability to control.
With Luo Zhaoyun's thoughts, he can not be killed, but he must be placed under house arrest or deprived of all rights.
This Li Xiuning, there is no need to stay in the palace, she can be released and let her meet with that family, her brother is in custody, her father and stepmother are under house arrest in Jinyang, waiting for a holy decree to pass and decide their fate.
In less than two days, when the news of Jinyang was transmitted to the imperial court through the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would definitely be divided into several factions to discuss the disposal of Li Yuan's father and son.
As a king, you have to have an idea in advance, otherwise, when the time comes, the ministers will fight over each other, each with their own reasoning, and it is easy to lose their minds.
Luo Zhaoyun only took his personal attendant to the outside of this cold palace, it has been more than ten days since the last time he saw Li Xiuning, and the former Iron Lady is now like a canary in a cage, grinding off a lot of sharpness and fighting spirit.
As the saying goes, the times create heroes, once the time passes, the times no longer exist, and heroes are useless, and they gradually disappear from everyone and become ordinary.
"See Your Majestyβ"
The two maids were cutting the old flower beds in the courtyard, and when they saw His Majesty enter, they hurriedly knelt down.
"Flat, Miss Li!"
"Back to Your Majesty, she's reading a book inside......" the maid replied nervously.
"Wait outside, I'll go in and see."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Luo Zhaoyun walked into the Xuan, there was a sound of footsteps inside, Li Xiuning seemed to hear the conversation outside, put down the scroll in his hand, bypassed the desk, Yingying walked over, and the moment he saw Luo Zhaoyun, he gave him a blessing.
"Xiuning has seen Your Majesty!"
Luo Zhaoyun glanced at Li Xiuning, and saw that her cheeks were as white as egg whites, and her facial features were exquisite.
"How are you doing?"
Li Xiuning said: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, she has adapted to the quiet life here, and she has read a lot of books. β
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly bitterly and said, "I imprisoned you here, and I already owe you, and these books are also afraid that you will get sick." β
Li Xiuning shook his head and said: "Your Majesty did not owe Xiuning, after being captured that day, if it weren't for Your Majesty's magnanimity, he neither harmed the concubine nor persecuted others, he would have been put here at any time, isolated from the outside, but he would have lived alive and ...... after all."
"I came here, I want to mention one thing to you, Jinyang is lost."
Li Xiuning was going to say a few polite words to repair the relationship between them, but when he heard the news of the loss of Jinyang, his face changed, his big eyes were wide, he stared at Luo Zhaoyun, and asked urgently: "My father, do you want the second brother......
"Lingzun Li Yuan has surrendered to Cheng and is temporarily isolated with his harem concubines, waiting to be placed." Luo Zhaoyun paused, and then said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, led his troops to break through the siege, and unfortunately died when he was fighting outside the city. β
"What, second brother, he's dead!" Li Xiuning's face collapsed suddenly, her eyes were moist, and tears flowed out.
She has a better relationship with Li Shimin since she was a child, closer than Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, etc., when Li Xuanba was beheaded, although she was sad, but, after all, she has little contact with Li Xuanba, so it is not so sad that you are not sad, but the death of her second brother still has a certain blow to her.
"The two countries are fighting, each is its master, this is war, there is no way, let's mourn and change." Luo Zhaoyun comforted.
Li Xiuning cried for a while, and came back to her senses, although she had hatred, she also knew that Luo Zhaoyun's words were true, the war between the two countries was no longer a personal grudge, but a national hatred and family hatred, but she couldn't be impulsive, because the dead were gone, and Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and those concubines in the harem, the Li Valve clan, etc., their fate had not yet been settled.
"Xiuning begs Your Majesty to be merciful and spare your father and brother, for this war, there are enough dead people, Your Majesty has unified the north, and there is no opponent on the north bank of the Yellow River, please forgive my Li family." Li Xiuning knelt down and pleaded.
"Li is powerful, once a large number of ministers arrive in Chang'an, it is inevitable that they will not make waves, and I am also very rare, and the hidden danger is too great." Luo Zhaoyun's voice of his concern is also a warning in disguise.
Li Xiuning pleaded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my father and elder brother can be demoted to commoners, either settled in the county for the elderly, or relegated to the ancestral land of the Li family, and no longer go out, it will definitely not cause any hidden dangers to Your Majesty's governance of the country. β
When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he was infected by Li Xiuning's filial piety, but he intended to let Li Yuan and others live, but he didn't plan to continue to use it again, so he still placed it in a county in Guannai, and was an outsider or idle county magistrate, and was monitored by Qingyingwei for generations.
