Chapter 56: Judgment (2)
Li Shen knew that the current history had changed with his arrival, because of deceiving Li Zhi, making this kid bury his hatred in his heart, and standing with Li Tai, these subtle actions could not be concealed from the extremely wise Second Majesty Li Er, and the dispute over the throne is really unknown to who is now in charge.
According to historical records, after Li Chengqian's rebellion failed, His Majesty Li Er, the vacant candidate for the throne, was Li Ke in his heart; Later, he came to Li Zhi, because of Li Zhi's kindness, he became the emperor, and their brothers could have a chance to live. However, the ministers thought that according to the ancestral system, Li Chengqian's eldest son would inherit his position as the prince, and it is unknown why His Majesty Li Er changed his mind later.
Li Shen knew that it was impossible for him to be exiled as in history, and the agreement reached that His Majesty Li Er loved Li Chengqian so much, and he should be in accordance with the agreement, the position of the prince is vacant, no matter what he says, he must win a good reputation for himself, even if it is not for himself, he must work hard for his three cheap sons, and if he doesn't do well, he can still be a emperor.
Li Shen kowtowed, ignored the inquiring eyes of everyone, and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Father, the son has lost the memory of the past, and the court has not been able to listen to a word of the Chinese and the son, and the son has the courage to ask his father, how does his father deal with General Hou?" ”
"Poof".
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian with a blank face, and said, "I can't control myself, and I still have the heart to take care of others." ”
The hall suddenly fell silent, everyone's eyes were on Li Tai, His Majesty Li Er's face turned black into a pot lid, and his cold eyes stared at Li Tai tightly.
"Father, son-in-law..."Li Tai looked at His Majesty Li Er with a frightened face and said tremblingly.
Li Shen shook his head slightly, no wonder history would kill his son and pass the throne to Li Zhi, this person is really not ordinary stupid, he really reads and reads like a pig.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty remembers General Hou's past merits and leaves one of his heirs." Fang Xuanling said to Li Shen.
"Thank you Fang Xiang for informing me, Cheng Qian has thanked you here."
Li Shen kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er again, and said: "As the saying goes, the emperor is extrajudicial, and everyone is at fault, but this fault is big and small. Erchen knows that the sins committed by Erchen are not something that Erchen can bear, but since ancient times, it has not been said that merit and demerit are offset. General Hou should know that he was a father and the emperor, but he was confused by his sons and made such a thing for a while. Erchen implored his father to look at General Hou's past merits, offset the merits and demerits, and degraded to a commoner, and all the faults were borne by Erchen, an unfilial son. ”
"Your Highness, it's the minister's fault, if it weren't for the minister's encouragement, His Highness wouldn't have done such a thing." Hou Junji said loudly with tears streaming down his face when he heard this, and then kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er, and said: "Your Majesty, all the fault is the old minister, it was the old minister who instigated His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness did such a thing, and please don't listen to His Royal Highness the Prince's nonsense." The old minister is willing to bear all the faults. ”
Everyone in the hall looked at the two kneeling on the ground, no one, including His Majesty Li Er, thought that Li Shen would do such a thing, and many people showed a slight smug smile on their faces, and the meritorious ministers who had followed His Majesty Li Er's side for many years looked at Li Shen with a relieved expression on his face.
"General Hou doesn't need to say much, Lone has lost his memory of the past, whether it is right or wrong Lone doesn't know, why do you have to take all the responsibility for Lone, Lone is the son of Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven, if Lone can't even bear this little thing, Lone is not worthy of being his son."
Li Shen turned to Hou Junji and said, before this sycophant, everyone heard him say the name of His Majesty Li Er, and they all felt that Li Shen's courage was really too big, how could he know his father's name as a son of man, but the back was really bright enough, and his majesty Li Er was held high in one sentence.
A hint of relief flashed in His Majesty Li Er's eyes, and he thought in his heart; It is worthy of Lao Tzu's teaching and careful teaching, with Lao Tzu's demeanor, he nodded slightly, with a cold face, his eyes exuded a cold gaze, staring at Li Shen, and said, "Since you know your fault, what do you bear?" ”
"The mistakes made by the sons and daughters will be borne by the sons themselves, and now the sons want their father to forgive the generals and the children of General Hou's family, or reduce the punishment. The tutor said that money can make the ghost grind, even if it is an irreparable mistake, as long as you pay the corresponding equivalent exchange. Li Shen said respectfully, knowing that if he said such a thing, there must be many people who jumped out to accuse and so on, but it didn't matter, what he had to do was just show others, let others know that he was behind him, even if he made a mistake, he would never betray his subordinates.
"Tutor?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen with some doubts.
"It's just nonsense, according to His Royal Highness the Prince, if the people rebel, as long as they can pay the reward they should pay, they can be exempted from their sins, and if they kill people, as long as they pay the money they should pay, don't they need to pay for their lives, so that Datang still needs the law." The eldest grandson Wuji had a cold face and scolded Li Shen coldly.
"Why not, as long as the price is worth it, Lone thinks it's okay, as long as the murderer can pay the price of human life, why not forgive, as long as he saves the person he killed, can the law still punish him?" Li Shen said lightly.
"It's just nonsense, who can save people when they die." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Li Shen looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile, and said secretly in his heart; Old fox, you wait for the master, see how the master will clean you up in the future, ignoring the whispered voices in the court, turning his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, who is high above, and said: "Erchen wants to ask my father and the ministers, can the lone plot be carried out?" ”
"Nope." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"Since Gu didn't implement it, it was just planned in the minds of Gu and General Hou and others, so it should be right." Li Shen said, looked at everyone and nodded, and said, "This also shows that Lone has this intention to rebel, right?" ”
"Yes."
That also shows that Lone committed the crime of rebellion, but when Lone did not carry it out, he was known by his father and the ministers. Lone is right? ”
Li Shen looked at everyone and nodded, and said, "Then I don't have the intention to rebel because of Lone, but before Lone has made this decision, he will be known by his father and everyone, is Lone right?" ”
Li Shen began to keep going around in circles about whether he really wanted to rebel against this rebellion, in order to stun everyone, looking at everyone and nodding his head, he continued: "Since everyone agrees with this statement, it also shows that Lone did not really rebel, but had this plan, so Lone did not rebel, since the matter was known to his father and the ministers, he defined Lone as a rebellion, Lone also admitted it, and General Hou also admitted it, but Lone thought that Lone did not cause people and Tang Dynasty property. and any other loss at all. ”
