Chapter 55: Judgment (1)
Waiting is boring, Li Shen's eyes are not glancing east and west, looking at the surrounding hundred officials with the curious eyes of modern people, but he doesn't know that when he makes these hopeful movements, all the eyes in the hall are basically focused on him.
It was not at all the same as on TV, the emperor did not have the slightest music to follow, and there was no palace maid who felt the big fan following him, only Gonggong Yang was about three steps away from His Majesty Li Er, hunched over and walked slowly.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er sitting down, Gonggong Yang stood on the left side, stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "Go to the court." ”
"Your Majesty, Ministers."
"Long live my emperor, long live ......"
Li Shen hurriedly swallowed before he finished shouting, looking at everyone's gaze, his old face was embarrassed for a while, could it be that he shouted wrong? One hand clenched into a fist and coughed slightly, looking at His Majesty Li Er's gaze through and smiling at him awkwardly.
Then he hurriedly lowered his head, he is now wearing a sinful body, it is better to be careful, glanced at the smile held back by the ministers, and rolled his eyes, this TV series is really deadly.
"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."
The sun slowly climbed up from the clouds, and the dazzling light shone into the main hall, and Li Shen, who was standing in place and groggy, nodded his head from time to time, not noticing the warning glances cast by His Majesty Li Er from time to time.
The chattering classical Chinese finally quieted down, anyway, the more Li Shen listened, the more he felt his head big, for such a long time, he didn't understand the meaning of their words at all, but it felt like an erosive sound, which could quickly make people fall asleep.
"Gather with the guilty ministers and princes to meet you."
A sharp voice sounded, Li Shen trembled, turned around, and looked at Hou Junji, who was walking in with shackles on his feet at the entrance of the main hall, followed by four guards, and rolled his eyes slightly, this is it?
"The sin minister and the prince gather to see our emperor." Hou Junji raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, sighed slightly, and lowered his head.
Cheng Yanjin held a long yellow text in his hand, standing in front of Hou Junji and muttering one by one, there were also various evidence and confessions about the rebellion with Li Chengqian.
After about ten minutes, Cheng Yanjin asked, "Hou Junji, can you admit these charges?" ”
"The guilty confessed."
Cheng Yanjin turned around and saluted His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the case of rebellion has been investigated clearly, and Hou Junji and others have all pleaded guilty. ”
"Hou Junji, I ask you, can you be guilty."
"The guilty minister has the emperor's favor, and the criminal minister is willing to accept the guilt, but all this is the criminal minister instigating His Royal Highness the Prince, everything has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the criminal minister is willing to bear it alone."
Everyone looked at Hou Junji kneeling there with different faces, what the hell is going on?
"It doesn't matter whether you provoke or not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's rebellion has become a fact." A faint voice sounded in the hall.
Li Shen turned his head, looked at Li Tai who showed a faint smile behind him, and gently spit out two words "****" at him, he couldn't wait to ascend to the throne of the crown prince so soon, he could also say this kind of thing, looking at the dark face of His Majesty Li Er, Li Shen smiled proudly in his heart.
"You..." Li Tai stared at Li Shen in black, speechless.
All kinds of controversial voices began to sound, as the confidants of His Majesty Li Er, some of them stood up to help Li Shen say some words, but it was just to reduce some crimes, it was impossible to continue to serve as the crown prince, and many people basically stepped on it to death, which made Li Shen a little speechless, is there such a big hatred?
"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has committed such a mistake, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped......" Fang Xuanling stood up and said that His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but nod.
"The minister does not agree with the words of the prime minister, rebellion is originally a felony of disobedience, if it is not severely punished, how to convince the people, how to give a warning to future generations, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since His Royal Highness the prince has committed a felony of rebellion, it should be punished in accordance with the law of the Tang Dynasty."
"The minister also agrees with Lord Chen's words, and the felony of treason should be punished in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
"The ministers agree to be punished in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
More than 20 people jumped out at once, and threatened His Majesty Li Er to severely punish Li Shen.
"Now interrogate Hou Junji, and the matter of His Royal Highness the Prince's rebellion will be discussed later." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said lightly.
The noisy voices in the hall suddenly quieted down, Hou Junji's rebellion has become a fact, and the convicted crime has been discussed by everyone, and now it is just a formality, as long as His Majesty makes a holy decree.
His Majesty Li Er has never looked at a word until now, he just looked at the hundreds of officials below who were making noise, but he wanted to see how many of these hundred officials could not tolerate Li Shen, and how many small forces had formed.
Gonggong Yang looked at His Majesty Li Er, nodded at him, picked up the holy decree on the table, and began to read it in front of everyone.
Li Shen looked at Hou Junji with a pale face, and exhaled slightly, no matter what, these sins were committed by Li Chengqian, and now it is just for him and others to bear them, for Hou Junji, Li Shen doesn't know what kind of emotions he has in it.
His exploits can be said to stand in this hall, and there are a few people who can compare, since His Majesty Li Er's rebellion, Sui has been loyally following him, no complaints, no regrets, everyone has selfishness, but there are too many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, causing His Majesty Li Er's negligence to him, so that he buried resentment in his heart, how to say that he is also a very human minister, there is no need to take the life of a family to rebel.
Li Shen didn't understand the holy decree of the classical Chinese at all, and he didn't know what kind of punishment Hou Junji was about to face, whether it was the same as in history, the whole family was beheaded, and His Majesty Li Er left him the last bloodline.
Li Shen covered his hands tightly, he couldn't bear it, the matter of one person committing a crime and offending the whole family happened in front of him, he exhaled deeply, glanced at Hou Junji, maybe he could do something for him.
"The guilty minister receives the sin, thank the emperor for his grace." Hou Junji said that the whole person seemed to be a lot older, and many generals in the hall who fought with him turned around, and their eyes were a little ruddy.
Li Shen let out another sigh, which was particularly clear in the quiet hall, walked to the center of the hall, and fell to the ground on his knees, he didn't want to stand up, but he knew in his heart that His Majesty Li Er would definitely let him go, if he didn't stand up at this time, what would others think of him in the future?
