Chapter 141: What is Li Shimin going to do?
In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin sat on the throne like a squatting sculpture, his face was sinking like water, but his heart was turning over the river and the sea.
Now in his heart, he has hatred for Li Chengqian, and there is also the anger of being fooled, Li Chengqian wants to openly try the case in front of the Suzaku Gate, he knows it, but he did not expect that Li Chengqian was going to kill so many felons in front of the Suzaku Gate in front of hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people.
He didn't even dare to think about it.
You must know that there are important ministers of the court who colluded with the prince to rebel, if it was just a few local tyrants and inferior gentry Li Chengqian who were killed, they would have been killed, but if a prime minister-level figure like Cen Wenwen was casually killed by Li Chengqian today, then who would dare to say no to Li Chengqian in the future in the Manchu Dynasty?
Moreover, Li Shimin has always believed that only the Son of Heaven can decide the life and death of a person, and the felons who were sentenced to death in the Tang Dynasty could only be executed after the emperor personally executed them.
However, if Li Chengqian was not careful, he was about to execute it on his behalf, so one can imagine how angry he was when he heard that Li Chengqian was going to beat a dozen felons in public with 200 military sticks each.
And Li Shimin really can't understand why Li Chengqian did this, what is the benefit of Li Chengqian doing this today?
If Li Chengqian wants to plot a rebellion, then he should not set up enemies everywhere.
It is impossible to say that the people around Li Chengqian gave him such an idea, whether it is the seven scholars of the Chongjiao Palace, Cheng Mingzhen, Xue Rengui, and Xue Dading, Li Shimin knows very well that these people definitely do not have the courage to do so.
Is it really because Li Chengqian is brutal by nature?
Come to think of it, at the beginning, Li Chengqian was inconspicuous in the East Palace, and often sent people to assassinate several of his teachers, but now Li Chengqian naturally can't tolerate people who have different political views from him.
Thinking that Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui said in the court that the second Sui Dynasty died, did the Tang Dynasty also ......
Li Shimin thought of almost all Li Chengqian's shortcomings at this moment, and when he remembered it, he really wanted to pull Li Chengqian to death immediately.
At this moment, the little chamberlain came in to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and Li Shimin immediately looked up at the door of the main hall.
Li Chengqian limped into the Liangyi Hall with a cane, the corner of his eyes drifted to the left and right, and he immediately found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and the ministers on both sides were standing, unlike in the past in the Liangyi Palace, where the ministers sat on the small vultures.
Moreover, so many ministers did not make a sound here today, because everyone except him took off their shoes and came in when they entered the hall just now, so at this time, there was only the sound of the soles of his shoes and crutches touching the ground in the entire Liangyi Palace.
"Pop-pop, pop-pop-pop......"
The voice is extremely rhythmic, and listening to Li Chengqian's heart beat the drums.
"Son-in-law, see father!" Li Chengqian bowed to Li Shimin.
"Your ......, see Your Majesty!" Zhu Suiliang and others followed to salute Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's face was still sinking like water, and he just looked at Li Chengqian like this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Chengqian was very uncomfortable with his head bowed half-bowed, so he said again with a grudge: "The son of the emperor sees his father!" ”
Li Shimin still didn't react, and the needles could be heard in the Liangyi Palace.
Zhu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, Su Dingfang, and Li Yifu, who were standing behind Li Chengqian, all knew that Li Shimin was really angry, and they were all very worried, and they wanted to remind Li Chengqian not to contradict Li Shimin today, but they didn't dare to make any moves at this time.
There was a stalemate in the hall for a while, and Li Chengzhen couldn't help it, and said loudly again: "Crown Prince Li Chengqian sees His Majesty the Emperor." ”
After shouting, Li Chengqian heard the ministers on both sides and Zhu Suiliang and others behind him gasp.
"Humph! Do you know you're the crown prince?" Li Shimin snorted coldly.
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin's indifferent face, feeling a little unfamiliar.
Since Li Chengqian's crossing, although Li Shimin has rarely given him a good face, no matter how angry Li Shimin was in the past, Li Shimin always had some emotions in his eyes, and the root of this karmic emotion is to treat him as a child.
But what he saw in Li Shimin's eyes at this moment was indifference and ruthlessness, and Li Chengqian didn't know why Li Shimin had such emotions towards him.
At the moment, he said cautiously: "I don't know what happened to my father, Emperor Xuan'erchen and others?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and his entourage, and said expressionlessly: "Why are only four of the seven scholars from the Chongjiao Hall here?"
Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of evil fire Li Shimin had sent, so he just said calmly: "Back to my father, Mr. Huangyan, is preparing for the recruitment examination of Chongxian Pavilion tomorrow, Ren Yaxiang and Hao Chujun are on duty in Pingzhang Courtyard, and the sons have already sent someone to pass them on, and they are coming soon." ”
"Since they haven't arrived yet, I'm going to ask you first, why are you trying the case openly in front of Suzaku's gate?" Li Shimin's voice was still unemotional.
Li Chengqian had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately said loudly when he heard this: "
The reason why the sons and ministers are in front of the Suzaku Gate is that in recent years, some noble families in our Tang Dynasty have lawlessly brutalized the people, and the local magistrates dare not intervene, resulting in a backlog of unjust cases and public grievances, and arrogance and ambition grow at the same time.
Father, please think about it, a prince who only relied on a few families and a few thousand people around him to openly rob and kill the emperor and the crown prince of the current dynasty, Cen Wenwen's younger brother Cen Wenzhao is just a small school scholar, and his casual words made dozens of people in a family innocently killed and the real murderer went unpunished.
Cui Renshi was born in Boling, the Cui family is a famous family, and he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court, who knows that he not only shielded his son for murder and shot people to death, but also connived at his son to accept bribes and make lawsuits, and how many unjust, false and wrongful cases have been created, which still need to be cleaned up one by one.
And Yu Zhining's younger brother Yu Yongning, eldest grandson Jiaqing, etc., which of these people should not die?
Erchen openly tried the case in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the verdict was announced to tell the people of the world that the Tang Dynasty was just, and to tell some people not to do evil......"
As the so-called arrogance is appropriate, Li Chengqian thought that what he had done was not wrong, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he was intimidating, and some ministers in the palace were also moved by Li Chengqian and couldn't help nodding.
Li Shimin looked at the impassioned Li Chengqian, his expression became more and more complicated, and it was not until Li Chengqian finished speaking that he said bitterly for a while: "What you said is right, but the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, since you have already tried these people publicly and sentenced them to death, why do you still have to beat 200 military sticks?"
You are the crown prince, how can you disobey the laws of the country?
Even if you hate them for mutilating the people and want to be punished with a cane, you only need to give an order to let your subordinates do it, why do you have to give this order in person in front of hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people?
If you are killed on the spot, how will the world think of you?"
As soon as Li Shimin said this, the ministers below all gasped, what kind of anger did the emperor become, and even said such words.
You must know that many senior leaders have a habit, that is, when he sees that the people below him are doing well, he praises them in person, but if he sees that the people below are not doing well, he will go to your direct leader or people from relevant departments and ask them to criticize you or punish you.
There are two advantages to the leader doing this, one is to leave a good impression on the employees below, and let him be a good person. The second is that he does not negotiate with the low-level management, and he is also worried that he will be scolded by the low-level employees in person, and it is not good to be angry.
The purpose of the emperors was to keep their image of saints who never made mistakes, and the pots of bad deeds and wicked people were borne by the ministers.
As the emperor, Li Shimin naturally knows this well, although he himself sometimes doesn't care so much about his temper, but this does not affect his desire for his successor Li Chengqian to do this well.
Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin was still educating him seriously, thinking that Li Shimin was thundering and raining lightly, so he didn't pay attention to it.
He immediately bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your teachings!" ”
"Hmm!"
Li Shimin also calmed down, looked at the people who came with Li Chengqian again, and saw Li Yifu holding the file in his hand, so he said expressionlessly: "Since you have publicly tried and pronounced the verdict, then show the file to me." ”
Hearing this, Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the verdict file just announced today has not been sorted out yet, so it is better to wait for the ministers to go back and sort it out before submitting it to His Majesty." ”
Li Yifu had already heard from Li Shimin's words just now that Li Shimin didn't know that more than a dozen criminals had all been killed with canes, but the dossier had already been clearly marked, and it was obviously not beneficial for Li Shimin to see it at this time.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, and his own chamberlain walked up to Li Yifu and took the case file in his hand and presented it to Li Shimin's desk.
Li Shimin waved his hand while picking up the dossier and said, "You all go back to your place!" ”
Li Chengqian and the four scholars of Chongjiao University each walked to their own positions, and they came in with a small waiter.
"Your Majesty, the scholars of the Chongjiao Palace, Yan Shigu, Ren Yaxiang, and Hao Chujun, please see you."
"Xuan!" Li Shimin didn't raise his head, at this time he was looking at the neat file put by Li Yifu, and he was very satisfied.
It's just that when he saw the first file of the file, Sun Jiaqing, had it written on his head that he would be punished but killed, so he hurriedly flipped it back, and he ...... two copies, and he was punished but killed, and he was tortured but killed......
The more Li Shimin looked at it, the heavier his breathing became, and his hands trembled when he saw that Cen Wenwen was also killed with a cane......
"Chenyan Shigu (Hao, Ren) see Your Majesty!"
After a while, Li Shimin raised his face and was very calm, and his voice said without emotion: "The crown prince Chengqian is bold and reckless, corrupting the law and discipline, and he has been thinking about it behind closed doors in the East Palace from now on.
Xiao Yu, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, added Feng Tejin and Sun Wuji, the chief of the Sikong, to take charge of the Pingzhang Yuan to deal with political affairs, and the Pingzhang Yuan moved into the director of Neike Province in the north of the Taiji Palace. ”
When Li Chengqian and the subordinate officials of the East Palace heard this, it was as if they had been beaten with a stick, and Li Shimin pushed them to the end.
A doubt immediately arose in Li Chengqian's heart, what is Li Shimin going to do?
