Chapter 229: Disposition

As for how he regrets it, now, it's too late......" His Majesty Li Er's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early dynasty, Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers did not go to the court, and when they received the news in the East Palace, the three brothers immediately changed into filial piety clothes and rushed to Da'an Palace.

Emperor Taishang died, the whole Chang'an was a vegetarian, the palaces in the palace have been hung with thick white silk, the eunuchs and palace maids who came and went were tied with white cloths on their waists, and the princesses and concubines in the harem also faded away from the old clothes, put on plain clothes, and wore filial piety for Li Yuan.

The eunuchs in the Da'an Palace have changed their clothes for Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's body has also been carried to the "Zi Palace", a long offering table has been set up in front of the coffin, and the table is full of tribute, and an ever-bright lamp stands on the table, with a special little eunuch guard, from time to time from the butter to pick the lamp twist out, to ensure that the ever-bright lamp will not be extinguished.

On the first day of Li Yuan's vigil, His Majesty Li Er, the prince and princess and all the courtiers knelt in the palace during the day, and from the first day, His Majesty Li Er made a decree to suspend the court for three days.

On the first day, Xuan Shijing naturally had to enter the palace and guard Li Yuan's spirit with the ministers, so even if it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xuan Shijing could not stay in the Hou Mansion.

Originally, the ministers of the court and the central government had a holiday for the Shangyuan Festival, but Li Yuan's death, the officials' rest day was gone, and the folk festivals were gone, which made these little people depressed.

Kneeling in front of the Spirit Hall for a day, in the middle of which he drank some white porridge, Xuan Shijing now felt that he was about to be starved to death, and he had to be taken away by Li Yuan before he succeeded, and finally stayed up until the evening, the ministers dispersed, and Xuan Shijing was also ready to pack up and go home, but he was stopped by Deyi, saying that His Majesty Li Er was waiting for him in the Ganlu Palace.

Xuan Shijing sighed silently, so he had to obediently turn around and follow Deyi to the Manna Palace.

The door of the Ganlu Hall was closed, and Deyi walked outside the hall and stretched out his hand to push the door of the Ganlu Hall open, inviting Xuan Shijing in.

Xuan Shijing walked into the hall, and the door behind him was closed by Deyi from outside the hall.

Xuan Shijing turned his head to look at the upper room of the main hall, and His Majesty Li Er was standing next to the bright yellow soft couch with his back to Xuan Shijing with his hands back.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing bowed and saluted His Majesty Li Er.

"Excuse me." His Majesty Li Er responded lightly: "Jing'er, I have worked hard for you to go out this time." ”

"It should."

His Majesty Li Er turned around and his eyes fell on Xuan Shijing: "Jing'er, I called you over today, in fact, I also want to hear your opinion. ”

"If Your Majesty has any orders, just order the ministers." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said, but in his heart, there were a hundred turns and thousands of times, Li Yuan had already gone to the things related to himself, and the rest that could make His Majesty Li Er come to find him so tactfully was Li Yuanjing.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "I am also a little unsure of this matter, so I want to ask you." ”

"Why doesn't Your Majesty consult with Lord Eldest Sun?" Xuan Shijing asked rhetorically.

"I haven't talked about this matter with the auxiliary machine, not to mention, this matter has little to do with the auxiliary machine, if you ask him, it's just a little bit of a detour with me." His Majesty Li Er said: "What I want to ask you is, what do you think about how to deal with Yuanjing, Jing'er?" ”

"Your Majesty, if you ask the minister about this, it's not very good, now the whole court knows that the minister and His Royal Highness King Jing have a beam, if you ask the minister, then the minister is hoping that His Royal Highness King Jing will not come to block the minister in the future." Xuan Shijing said.

Hearing His Majesty Li Er ask himself like this, Xuan Shijing naturally guessed that Li Yuan must have said something to His Majesty Li Er before he died, nine times out of ten, he was talking about Li Yuanjing, Li Yuan was using his own death to protect his son by the way.

"You're honest." His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly: "As far as your kid is so clever, you must have guessed some reasons, so don't be sloppy with me, just say something." ”

"Then the minister really said it." Xuan Shijing lowered his head and secretly looked at His Majesty Li Er's face.

"Say!"

"Originally, His Royal Highness King Jing rebelled, just having this idea and operating in Chang'an for so many years is inevitable, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Jing also hid soldiers in Jingzhou, which caused a military disaster, and it was the people of Datang who suffered, and what was endangered was the society of Datang, so no matter how you say it, His Royal Highness King Jing is a capital crime." Xuan Shijing said.

"You want me to execute Yuanjing?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister hasn't finished talking yet." Xuan Shijing said: "This is the law of the country, but the Emperor Taishang interceded for His Royal Highness King Jing in front of His Majesty, this is a favor, and now the Emperor Taishang is in a big line, this plea has become an edict, if you do not comply, Your Majesty is not filial, so Your Majesty can throw this question to the ministers to think, if you make a decision here, when the decree is made, it will inevitably be sick by those imperial historians." ”

Xuan Shijing told His Majesty Li Er about this problem from the two aspects of the country's legal situation, as for how to make a decision in the end, it naturally depends on His Majesty Li Er, but it is not Xuan Shijing's turn to point fingers here.

"If I don't kill Yuanjing, what do you think should be done?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, if you leave His Royal Highness King Jing alive, the result is nothing more than two things, one is house arrest and Chang'an, and he is not allowed to leave Chang'an City in this life, and the second is to be allocated, exiled for three thousand miles, and never return to Chang'an, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty for the conviction of a crime, no matter which of these two items is for His Royal Highness King Jing, the first offender, it is a light sentence." Xuan Shijing said.

After taking up his post in Dali Temple, Xuan Shijing also read the "Wude Law" and other laws of the Tang Dynasty when he was idle, so he also had some research on the law, at least for the big crime of rebellion, Xuan Shijing remembered it very clearly.

"Yes, Yuan Jing's sins, if it were a normal situation, even if it was me, it would be difficult to forgive him, but now, before his death, the Emperor Taishang said to me, no matter what, I have to forgive Yuan Jing once, this is what makes me embarrassed." His Majesty Li Er sighed.

"Your Majesty, according to the ministers, even if this matter is handed over to the courtiers to argue in the court, the result will be the same, because the edict of the Emperor Taishang, His Royal Highness King Jing, can save his life." Xuan Shijing said.

Although Xuan Shijing really wanted to eradicate Li Yuanjing, the culprit who had harmed him, the development of the matter was not in his control, especially Li Yuan's sudden serious illness and death, which paved the way for Li Yuanjing's life. (To be continued.) )
