Chapter 15: Knowing the Truth

Da Xiong nodded, looked at Li Shen, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, General Su returned more than twenty days ago. ”

Li Shen paused slightly, looked at Da Xiong, and said coldly: "What's going on?" When will Su Dingfang return? Why don't I know until now? ”

"The imperial concubine asked his subordinates to hide the news of General Su's return."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Li Su, Li Yuanqing, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others rebelled. The imperial concubine was worried that His Majesty would be difficult to do, so she privately recalled General Su. ”

"When?" Li Shen frowned and said, no wonder Hou Peipei always looked preoccupied all the way, he thought he was tired of riding in the carriage, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen!

It's really hard for him to deal with this matter, but he always knows that he will be able to do it! How to say that he is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, such a big thing happened, and he was kept in his bones, no wonder Wu Meiniang wanted to go out for a long trip this time, it seems that she had already known the news and made such a decision.

Li Shen believed that Wu Meiniang would not do anything to be sorry for him, even if he really did something to be sorry for him, he would accept his fate.

Li Shen really didn't expect that these people would be able to do something rebellious at this time, and he really didn't know what to say, how could today's war be able to win with a large number of people, and these Koreas and China would start a thorough purge again.

Some people don't understand why they are so greedy for power, even if they don't have the slightest chance of winning, they have to give it a go, and they don't know what the final outcome of this will be, if it weren't for the fact that the law has now been changed, they would have implicated three generations in doing so.

"Before Your Majesty came out, General Su had already returned."

Li Shen stretched out his hand and waved, exhaled, in fact, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "Go and arrange it!" When there is any news, contact Su Dingfang directly, so that he can prepare to go to Persia. ”

"My subordinates will arrange it."

Li Shen stood in Hou Peipei's room, stretched out his hand, and held it in the air, according to Wu Meiniang's character, this rebellion has been resolved for so many days, and it must have been resolved a long time ago, sighed in a low voice, and knocked on the door of the room.

I waited for a while.

The door of the room was opened, Hou Peipei lowered his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you."

Hou Peipei let out a low "oh" and said, "The concubine asked someone to prepare water for you to wash up." ”

"No, it's already washed."

Sitting on the bed, Li Shen looked at Hou Peipei, who had always lowered his head and said nothing, and said, "Peipei, do you know that my hope for you in this life is that you can live freely and happily without any sorrows, not like now." ”

"The concubine knows."

"I can tolerate everything about you, for your father's affairs, I have just learned, the state has national laws and family rules, I hope you don't resent Mei Niang, in fact, it is not easy for her, a woman is in charge of the operation of the entire empire."

"The concubine has no resentment against Mei Niang, these are the punishments that his father deserves, and he can't complain to anyone."

Li Shen nodded, stretched out his hand to lift her face, wiped the tears on her face, and said, "Don't cry, Mei Niang has her own way of doing things, and this matter will not involve your mother and them." ”

"I'm sorry." Hou Peipei cried.

"There's no need to be like this, don't cry, it's all family."

"If I had spoken out earlier, I wouldn't have been in the situation today."

"Let it pass, the future is the most important, the two Lin'er are still young now, and the future will be even better."

Hou Peipei rested her head on Li Shen's chest and cried in a low voice.

The next day, I sat on the carriage and began to continue slowly towards Mount Wutai.

The sky began to drizzle, the temperature dropped a lot, and the charcoal fire burned in the fireplace inside the carriage, which raised the temperature in the carriage by more than ten degrees.

Li Shen looked at Wu Meiniang, who was sitting on the side and watching the twists, and said, "You don't have anything you want me to talk about?" ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Shen and said lightly, "What's the matter?" I have something to tell you. ”

"Really?"

Wu Meiniang put down the fold, stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, and said, "It's okay for you to just make it clear, do you need to ask such an unclear question?" ”

"Hou Jun gathers them ......"

"You got it."

Seeing that Li Shen nodded slightly, Wu Meiniang continued: "That's it, now that you know, why do you ask the concubine?" ”

"What do they do?"

"According to the laws of the Chinese Empire, the concubines will not interfere with the operation of the laws of the empire, nor will they intercede for them, what kind of punishment they should receive is based on evidence, if the evidence is insufficient, they will still be released."

"It's all been like this, what do they do?"

"Two thousand people were executed, five thousand people have been served, Hou Junji, Li Su and their masterminds were all beheaded, Hou Junji's family was involved in this matter, but the concubine did not touch his family." Wu Meiniang looked at Li Shen and said, "Such a punishment, the concubine is also for the sake of Peipei's face, otherwise Hou Junji's family would not have been able to escape." ”

Li Shen nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "There's no need to do this, these things are what the concubine should do, and the concubine just hopes that Pepe won't complain about the concubine." ”

"I've explained it to her, and she didn't blame you."

"Thank you."

"If you encounter something like this again in the future, can you please explain it to me in advance?" Li Shen looked at Wu Meiniang, who was smiling hippie, and said helplessly.

"How can this kind of thing be explained to you, and what do you say you should do when the time comes? Datang is now changing the law, committing such a crime, do you want to cover up, but if you don't, how do you face Pepe? If you are covered, how will you give an account to the people, and what will become of the law? The concubine body is to tell everyone that anyone who violates the law will be punished, even if it is a relative of the emperor. ”

Li Shen nodded and said, "But you also have to look at what things are, sometimes you can do some things behind your back, and arrange your own people to do it." ”

Wu Meiniang glared at Luo Chen angrily and said, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you really do this?" Once this kind of thing starts, there will be a next time, and it will continue after the next time. ”
