Chapter 724: If you can't kill you, you'll be locked up for the rest of your life

Even if the royal family is not as good as pigs and dogs, it can't be killed indiscriminately.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the reputation of this royal family has not been much better, only those who have really been executed or exiled or taken away from the title are those who have rebelled. Even when dealing with the rebellious Han king Li Yuanchang at the beginning, Emperor Taizong even said that he could not bear it for his brothers, and he did not issue an edict to execute Li Yuanchang until the ministers repeatedly insisted on it.

Whenever he sees this period of history, Li Xian will think maliciously - where did his cheap grandfather Li Shimin kill his brother and force his father to abdicate in the Xuanwumen Incident? Of course, in more high-sounding words, this belongs to the mercy that the emperor must show, Li Shimin even abolished the crown prince at once, and he was definitely eager to kick his rebellious brother to death, but he had no choice but to show this hypocrisy.

Anyway, there are so many ministers who are familiar with Tang Law, and they don't have to worry about not being able to do what they want to do.

And this time, although it was not a crime of great rebellion, because the behavior of the dozen or so princes was too bad, it aroused public indignation in the court. Especially when the blue nose and swollen face of the imperial history appeared, the court officials were in an uproar, and they all said indignantly that the murderer must be punished, and the prince broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, especially many low-grade officials responded the most enthusiastically.

Now that group of princes dare to break into a house that oversees the imperial history and smash it wantonly, who knows that if they provoke these princes in the future, they will not do this? So, together with the limelight of hatred and hatred, it can no longer be stopped, and some people even hit their heads on the ground and wept bitterly, saying that if they do not punish the evil king, they will not be able to thank the world.

The people have already been talking about it. I don't know when this statement in the court spread, so. The evil king has become a proper noun, and countless people are swearing over there that those evil kings have done a lot of evil, and the court will definitely get rid of them this time. What's more, they whispered that they were afraid that it was not only those evil kings who were unlucky this time. Other royal clans will also be unlucky.

However, Jin Wuwei of Datang is not a vegetarian, but anyone who brought these private goods when he was talking was basically arrested and reported to the Luoyang County Ya the next day. And because of this. The big board of the Yadi in Luoyang County is crackling these days. The sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves has never stopped. Naturally, under such strict surveillance, the sources of those rumors were also dug up one by one, and they were labelled with bad intentions.

And Huo Wang Li Yuanliang is the most peaceful one, he didn't complain, he didn't connect in series, and he didn't care about it at all. Of course, because he is the second oldest and older member of the royal family besides King Han. Therefore, there are not a few people who come to ask for help and intercede. He didn't care about all the receptions, but when people were crying there, he often dozed off in less than a quarter of an hour, and when he finally woke up, he sincerely apologized, saying that people are too old to do anything and so on. Over time, the news that King Huo was old and mediocre spread far and wide. His courtyard suddenly became cold. Li Yuanliang was not annoyed by this. ordered to close the door tightly, and he was training his grandchildren in a good way. Reading when he has nothing to do, not to mention how pleasant it is, as if there are many things outside that have nothing to do with him.

He is different from King Han, he just changed his hand in Wu Huiniang's incident, and he didn't interfere in anything else, even if King Han denounced it, what if he could still rely on this to punish the crime? Besides, if the original incident was revealed, it would not be good for Emperor Li Zhi, Empress Wu, or even the entire imperial family, he would not believe that Li Xian would do such a stupid thing.

At that time, he was quite dissatisfied with Empress Wu's stealing of the rear position, and he still remembered his brother Taizong's expectations for him, and thought that he should come forward, so he planned such a scene. Now it seems that he really got home stupidly. His nephew Li Zhi has always been a half-hearted person, but he treats the Empress Wu as a treasure, and no matter how much he does, it is useless. The name of the virtuous king was thrown in the troubled waters of royal strife, and he couldn't even bubble up.

As for the fools of King Yu...... He should have died, but this time he had to shed a layer of skin even if he didn't die, what did it matter to him?

Li Xian is not a roundworm in a human stomach, and of course he doesn't know what a certain virtuous king thinks, so he didn't let down his vigilance. Fortunately, because the princes of King Yu did something stupid and stupid, the royal family who were originally going to go around to contact the feelings were a little jealous, and they didn't dare to stretch their hands too long, and they were all waiting for the final fate. Therefore, his life has been very simple recently-because the eldest sister and Su Yu helped him block the intercession.

When Qu Tushenruo was really in a state of outburst, he didn't have to worry about someone blocking the door at all.

Since it was an edict, of course he had to see what kind of charter those people above him were. Although it is the top, there are only three people above him now.

Daddy Li Zhi was completely angered by those royal families, and now everything is done by you; Needless to say, according to his mother's purpose, he can't wait to kill all these people before he can feel at ease; As for Li Hong...... I have to say that Li Hong is really a humble gentleman with a benevolent heart, even if he is still hesitating there, and he is worried that people will criticize the emperor Li Zhi.

From this point of view, the title of the righteous prince of someone is indeed worthy of the name. It's just that this time Li Hong just wants to be benevolent and righteous again, and Li Xian will not agree. This benevolent and righteous monarch is much more unlucky in ancient and modern times, and it is the most boring. So, under his instruction, Li Hong had to hesitate to "fall ill". Even so, someone did not forget to warn that the royal family should not be killed casually.

Li Xian didn't think about killing people, although the previous incident was a big crime to kill no matter which official or the common people, but for the royal family, it was almost impossible to be executed because of bad deeds. If it is really killed, not only will there be panic among the clan, but the people will only be even more unable to adapt.

The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, although there are many people who shout like this, but if you really kill a few princes to show them, there may be countless people behind your back to criticize you for being cruel. An unspoken rule in this era that cannot be easily touched is that as long as the royal family is not a great rebellion, even the biggest sins can be forgiven.

Therefore, after several months of arguing and arguing in the court, a letter stamped with the emperor's jade seal, together with the seal of Empress Taishang and the seal of the prince of the East Palace, was issued to the world, and summarized and determined the various crimes of the princes such as King Yu, pointing out that this was a crime that could not be atoned for by death, but after this sentence, it cleverly turned a corner, which was nothing more than saying that it was for the sake of being the son of Gaozu and making a light fall.

But the so-called light fall is a heavy blow to the royal family who are waiting for the results. As the so-called capital crime can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, one is to seize the title, the second is to cut the seal, and the third is to order the person not to go out without being edicted. For princes such as King Yu, who has become accustomed to his self-respecting identity, this is undoubtedly more uncomfortable than asking for his life.

If you don't have a prince, what kind of spirit do you have? If there is no fiefdom, what do you spend all your days drinking? Do not go out...... Don't go out, they still stay in Luoyang, there is a fart! Therefore, when I heard that Li Yuanjia, the king of Dazong Zhenghan, took the lead in writing a book, praising the emperor's generosity and benevolence, King Jiang and King Teng even wanted to die, and they scolded themselves in prison. However, several other princes put on a good attitude of deep repentance and confession, and they no longer dared to collide with each other.

Can their heads be harder than the steel sword?

Therefore, on the day the edict was issued, Li Xian received several confessions, and even two of them were blood. The so-called closed-door thinking is just a kind of house arrest, and not being allowed to go out is a loose key. As long as he behaves well, of course, he can lift the ban as soon as possible, as for his three uncles who still don't know what to do...... I'm sorry, just ask the three of you to stay at home, anyway, you're not too young!

Although the superintendent Yushi who handed over the book of all the people was unlucky enough to be beaten up, and even his own family was in a mess, he became the biggest beneficiary of this incident - he was suddenly promoted to the imperial historian, and he was suddenly promoted from the eighth rank to the sixth grade, and this kind of good thing that can be called a straight line of rise does not know how many people are envious, and some people even beat their chests and regret why they didn't suffer this beating.

There is also a precedent for this kind of thing, and the subordinate officials who have been treated badly by some vassal kings before can often get such promotion opportunities, but they are not as eye-catching as this time.

After this incident, the public security in Luoyang Chang'an has greatly improved, not to mention the royal family, even the wealthy and powerful families have restrained their own children, and the phenomenon of bullying men and women has been suppressed, and the people immediately applauded. Although there are also many people who muttered that those evil kings should be killed, but when they thought that in the future, these people would be confined in their homes and it would be impossible for them to come out and run rampant, and people were relieved. The subordinate officials of the princes who ruled the land in the past even presented a call from the people, all of which praised the measures of the imperial court.

The halos of the Holy Monarch and the Ming Monarch were put on Li Hong's head, even if someone had been pretending to be sick; The title of Empress Wu was naturally accepted by her, she was tired of hearing the praise of officials, and the praise of the people was naturally very happy for her to hear; As for Li Xianmo...... In a very awkward sentence, that is, "there has never been such a virtuous prince since ancient times", in contrast, what sympathy for the people, what kind of sympathy for the people, what kind of selflessness, have to stand back.

And in the midst of such a messy discussion, Li Xian's first son-in-law was happily born in this world. Unlike his sister, the little one tossed his mother for a while, and when he landed, he cried loudly, and his voice was urgent and bright. If you count Li Jia's adopted son, this is Li Xian's eighth child, that is, the fourth son.

Someone's wish to have a full house of children is being fulfilled step by step.
