Chapter 55: Li Shimin's reaction
"Li Chengqian, you don't have to die!" Du Chuke was shocked and angry, if Li Chengqian was just sentenced, it would be easy to say what crime he was sentenced, but now he is directly raiding his house, even if Li Shimin pardons all his crimes, what else will be left in the family? What are you going to do with this life when the money is gone?
Li Chengqian only smiled coldly when he heard this: "If the world is in chaos according to your will, I don't know how many people will be destroyed by breaking down their families?"
Li Chengqian is now insisting that you are a chaotic minister and thief, and I not only have to rehearse the play, but I also have to mention it every day, so that everyone in the world will recognize this article.
"When the world falls into the hands of a tyrannical person like you, the world will be in chaos." Du Chuke didn't care about anything else at this time.
"The lonely king is 'horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow.' We must kill all the thieves of the remnants of the world, so that trillions of people can share the peace and prosperity. Li Chengqian raised his voice and spoke loudly.
Today, he used such torture as inviting the king into the urn in front of everyone, if he didn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that the people around him would be cold.
Sure enough, everyone was secretly relieved when they heard this.
"Put them in jail and bring Duhe out." Li Chengqian watched the officials escort Fang Yiai and Du Chuke down, picked up the judgment pen and said directly: Du He was forced by Du Chuke to participate in the murder of the prince, and he took the initiative to confess and expose Du Chuke's treacherous conspiracy, and he was the concubine of Princess Chengyang, so Tekaien was not punished and released on the spot.
Li Chengqian waited for Du He to arrive, so he sat in the lobby and talked to Du He and drank tea, during which he also talked to Xue Rengui about military training.
Since Li Shimin handed over the actual control of the East Palace to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian directly transferred Su Dingfang and Wang Fangyi to the East Palace.
Wang Fangyi was born in Taiyuan, Wang is the grandson of Li Yuan's sister Princess Tong'an, and he is still Li Chengqian's cousin, who is only eighteen years old today, and he shoots a good arrow, and Li Shimin named him Qianniuwei.
In accordance with Li Chengqian's plan and method, Donggong Shilu was assisted by Su Dingfang's training, Pei Xingjian and Wang Fangyi.
Su Dingfang is a military master, and he can see the pros and cons of Li Chengqian's queue drill at a glance, and Li Chengqian can rest assured that he will pick up the missing and fill the gaps.
It's just that Li Chengqian's bodyguard had to be done by Xue Rengui, and Li Chengqian felt that it was a waste of talent to use a general like Xue Rengui as a bodyguard, so he always talked to him about military affairs when he had nothing to do.
Li Chengqian didn't know anything about fighting wars in ancient times, so he could only listen to Xue Rengui and then put forward some views of later generations to inspire him.
On this basis, Xue Rengui still felt that Li Chengqian was very good, and thought that he was a genius.
Although Xue Rengui has not yet led troops, his tactics and strategies are already first-class, especially he can draw inferences from Li Chengqian's views, according to the analysis of some battle examples he has seen.
Li Chengqian can benefit a lot, and the discussion between the two even attracted Liu Dewei next to him to join in the discussion of the art of war, and later Xue Rengui and Liu Dewei discussed Li Chengqian and Du He listened to it.
Only Zhang Chengxing was anxious, but he didn't know what to do.
Li Chengqian was in the Criminal Department until Qiu Shenji brought back all the people who raided the house before driving back to the East Palace.
Watching Li Chengqian's carriage leave the gate of the Criminal Department, Zhang Chengxing wanted to cry without tears and said: "Now Chang'an City is willing to mess up, how can we explain to Your Majesty." ”
"Ah, prepare the horse to enter the palace." Dewei Lau also reacted.
The criminal department is in the imperial city, and it takes a quarter of an hour from Suzaku Street to Taiji Palace.
When the two of them arrived outside the Ganlu Palace, they saw Cen Wenwen, Cui Renshi, Wei Ting, Zhu Suiliang, and Ma Zhou all waiting outside the hall.
Cen Wenwen saw Liu Dewei and Zhang Cheng walking, snorted coldly and turned his face to the side, no longer looking at them.
Cen Wenwen is now a high-ranking official at the prime minister's level, and he is favored by Li Shimin, and Liu Dewei can naturally be able to bend and stretch, just smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Chengxing has always been an upright person, and when he saw Cen Wenwen being rude, he snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
For a while, Li Shimin passed everyone in and asked what happened?
Cen Wenwen said angrily: "Let's ask Liu Shangshu and Zhang Shilang to talk first!" ”
"What's wrong with Liu Qing's family?" Li Shimin said solemnly.
Liu Dewei was unmoved, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty's ministers and Zhang Shilang came to see the results of the trial and verdict on the case of Du Chuke and Fang Yiai framing the prince and the case of the former governor Liu Xun, the Duguan Langzhong Liu Yuan, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs Cangbu Langzhong Xiao Jue conspired to embezzle disaster relief food and materials. ”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of files and handed them over to Li Shimin by the chamberlain, Li Shimin took the file and said without reading it: "The sooner these cases are decided, the better, and the two Qing families have worked hard." ”
"Don't dare, this is all the credit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Dewei still said lightly.
"Hmm," Li Shimin looked down at the verdict......
"Bang" The small table in front of Li Shimin was kicked over.
"Rebel! Unkindness has reached the point of punishing the bones of the dead! Li Shimin scolded this, took a breath, looked up at Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing, and roared angrily: "Who let this rebel go to trial?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's judgment in the Criminal Department was based on His Majesty's edict and was not out of line." Liu Dewei still said calmly.
"This is an edict, I don't know His Majesty's will, I don't know about the Middle Book Province, how did I get to the East Palace and the Criminal Department?" Cen Wenwen said loudly.
Everyone in the hall also came to their senses when they heard this, especially Cui Renshi and Wei Ting's eyes were faintly excited, Li Chengqian had committed the great crime of pretension......
"It is the decree of His Majesty the year before last'○ to order the crown prince to listen to the lawsuit: the crown prince to accept the matter, it is advisable to order the lawsuit to be heard, and it is hereby hidden. ......'This edict has been preserved in Shangshu Province and the Criminal Department, I wonder if Cen Zhongshu still thinks that this edict is fake?' Liu Dewei said calmly.
Liu Dewei said that the expressions of everyone in the hall froze on their faces, and no one expected that Li Chengqian would use an edict from a few years ago to go directly to the Criminal Department to sentence the case.
After a long time, Li Shimin yelled angrily: "Bastard, bastard......"
"Your Majesty is angry!" The ministers hurriedly knelt down and prayed.
"How can I not be angry when this rebel judges such a case?" The entire hall echoed with Li Shimin's roar.
"These judgments of Liu Qing's family are invalid, and the Criminal Department will redraft the judgment and hand it over to me to see, Liu Qing's family, you will draft it now, and I will approve it now!" Li Shimin seems to be afraid of long nights and dreams.
"Obey the order!" Liu Dewei had long known that Li Shimin would definitely change Li Chengqian's verdict, and he discussed it with Zhang Chengxing when he came.
Liu Dewei and Zhang Chengxing went to redraft the verdict, but Cen Wenwen played again: "Your Majesty, Liu Fujian has been suspended for seven days, is it possible to bury Liu Fujian tomorrow?"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Let's settle in the ground as soon as possible!" ”
"Obey the order, it's just that Liu Yuan has only one son in Chang'an City, Liu Yuan is still in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the funeral is not decent without a filial son, can you be gracious and let him go home to bury his father?"
"Accurate!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Yuan embezzled disaster relief food, causing thousands of victims to freeze and starve to death in two days, what a heinous crime!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but remind.
"Liu Xun is dead, and if you think about it carefully, it's not all the prince's responsibility." Li Shimin said sadly.
"Your Majesty Liu Xun himself has nothing to do with the crown prince who has been ungrateful and killed thousands of victims." Zhu Sui Liang is right.
"Although Liu Xun is at fault, he is already dead, can't I remember that he has worked hard for many years and has a little compensation?" Li Shimin asked, but Zhu Suiliang didn't dare to argue anymore.
"Your Majesty, this afternoon, the guards of the Criminal Department and the East Palace have already gone to raid the house after the sentence, and this is a new sentence?" Cen Wenwen once again seized the opportunity to say, he saw through Li Shimin's bent on this name of benevolence and righteousness, and he would definitely change the sentence.
Sure enough, Li Shimin was furious when he heard this: "Go and find that rebel!" ”
