Chapter 353: Execution
"Let the right guard general Ashina Sheer cooperate with Dali Temple to arrest Princess Gaoyang and others, and wait for trial." Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Wang Quan responded and asked people to pass on the emperor's will.
"Xuanwu King Li Ke, Tejin, Taichangqing, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, Shizhong Yuwenjie, and General Zuo Xiaowei came to see me." Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Wang Quan received the order and immediately asked people to call Li Daozong and the others.
Soon they came to the Liangyi Hall to meet the emperor, and after a salute, Li Daozong asked first.
"Your Majesty! In such a hurry, I summoned my ministers and others to come, and I don't know what to do. ”
When Li Daozong and the others came, they always felt that something big was going to happen, and when they saw Li Chengqian's dark and panicked face, he was even more sure that something was wrong.
"Gao Yang and Fang Yiai, Baling and Chai Lingwu, as well as Xue Wanche's family, secretly contacted Jing Wang's uncle Li Yuanjing, intending to rebel." Li Chengqian said.
"What?" Everyone was taken aback, rebellion was not a joke, Li Daozong said in disbelief: "How dare they do such a rebellious thing, rebellion is a capital crime, how can they be worthy of the first emperor in doing this." ”
"I didn't want to believe it, they were the emperor's favorite daughters and sisters, but facts speak louder than words, and the evidence of their rebellion is conclusive."
"I have already sent someone to Jingzhou to pass the edict to let Li Yuanjing enter Beijing, and also let the right guard general Ashina Sheer join Dali Temple to arrest Gaoyang and them." Li Chengqian said.
"Then His Majesty summoned his ministers and others for what?" Shizhong Yuwen asked him.
Since the evidence has been conclusive, the emperor directly ordered them to be arrested and convicted, and there is no need to call them to notify them.
They didn't think that the emperor would be so bored as to call them here on purpose, just to say something, there must have been other purposes.
"I want you to come to try the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion, Yuwenjie in the service is the main trial, and Uncle Huang, Li Ke and others are jury, I want to know if there are any remaining parties besides them." Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian did this to test whether Yuwenjie was wronged or really involved in the rebellion.
Let these suspects be tried, and if they did not participate in the rebellion, they will be handled impartially and without the slightest cover-up.
If they participated in the rebellion, they would definitely do everything possible to clear their names in the process of trying the case, and even did not hesitate to do something they shouldn't have done to cover up the traces of their involvement.
Perhaps, in order to prevent Fang Yiai and others from confessing to them, they did something to kill people.
Let them come to trial, as long as they are involved in the rebellion, they will definitely feel that this is a great opportunity, and they will definitely take action.
"Isn't there a Dali Temple in the trial of the case? Why did Your Majesty ask us to try this case? Obsessively asked.
"You are all the people I trust the most, and the stakes are very high, and it is difficult for Dali Temple to try this case alone, so I asked you to try this case." Li Chengqian explained.
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust! It must be found out how many others were involved. Li Ke said.
After receiving Li Chengqian's will, they immediately went to Dali Temple to interrogate Fang Yiai and others.
In addition to letting Li Ke and others try the case, Li Chengqian also asked Di Renjie and others to investigate in secret, and asked Jinyiwei to monitor their every move at all times.
As soon as Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, arrived in Chang'an, he was arrested and imprisoned in another courtyard, and Li Yuanjing knew that his affairs were exposed, so he committed suicide in another courtyard.
Under repeated interrogation, Chai Lingwu and others confessed the fact that they had rebelled and confessed to some of the officials involved.
Only Fang Yiai didn't open his mouth, and he had to see Li Chengqian to tell the truth, otherwise he wouldn't confess at all.
Anyway, his love is like this, and he is afraid of torture to extract a confession, as long as he is not allowed to see the emperor, he will bite and not let go, looking like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Li Ke had no choice but to ask the emperor for instructions on whether he wanted to see Fang Yi's love.
Li Chengqian agreed, he wanted to see what tricks Fang Yiai could come up with.
"The love of the guilty minister's house is to meet Your Majesty!" Fang Yiai staggered to Li Chengqian.
Looking at Fang Yiai, who was covered with scars, it seems that during this time, he has not suffered less, and Li Chengqian has no mercy for such a person.
"I heard Wu Wangke say, you have something important to tell me, I don't know what important information it is?" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty can you hold back and let Rong Chen report alone." Fang Yiai glanced around and said to Li Chengqian.
"No need! There's nothing I can't let people know, Wang Quan is my confidant, you just say it. Li Chengqian said.
He won't let everyone retreat and listen to what Fang Yiai said alone, although Fang Yiai doesn't learn or know, he is a person who practices martial arts.
If there were only the two of them left in this hall, if Fang Yiai suddenly became difficult, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, wouldn't he be in danger.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to put himself in danger, and it would be safer to keep some people around.
"The criminal wants to sue Wu Wang Li Ke, our conspiracies with King Jing are all Wu Wang Li Ke secretly matchmaking, if there is no Wu King Li Ke, the criminal will never dare to do such a rebellious thing." Fang Yiai said.
Fang Yiai reported to Li Chengqian that Li Ke was one of them, and what he said was clear-sighted, just like the real thing, after hearing it, people would feel that Li Ke was really involved.
Regarding Fang Yiai's words, Li Chengqian did not believe in it, and it is difficult to conclude whether Li Ke, the king of Wu, really participated in the rebellion.
In any case, Fang Yiai's purpose in saying this is to live, hoping to get pardon by exposing Li Ke.
In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji had already asked Fang Yiai to interrogate him before this, and by the way, he asked Fang Yiai to frame Li Ke.
What the two of them said exactly, only the two of them know.
No matter what they said, the eldest grandson Wuji finally promised Fang Yiai, as long as Li Ke was pulled into the water, he could be pardoned Fang Yiai.
"I've got it right! Whether Wu Wangke really participated in the rebellion as you said, I will naturally find out. ”
"As for you, I don't want to say anything, come here, take Fang Yuai back to prison." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty! What the sinner said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood! Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! Fang Yiai said.
The guards came in and took Fang Yiai back to the prison where she continued to be held.
As for whether Li Ke and others also participated in the rebellion, Li Chengqian soon knew the answer.
Jin Yiwei and Di Renjie sent news that Li Ke and others did not participate in Fang Yiai's rebellion, and they also handled the case impartially.
In February of the fourth year of Yonghui, the final verdict was finally made in the case of Fang Yuai's rebellion.
Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu and others were beheaded, and the eldest princess of Gaoyang, the eldest princess of Baling and others committed suicide.
