Chapter 57: Judgment (3)

"Since Lone didn't cause any losses, then Lone also admits that Lone has this intention to rebel, my father, the ministers, and all the people of the Tang Dynasty just want Lone to give everyone an explanation, Lone is not wrong, right?" Li Shen continued, slightly proud in his heart, this kind of crooked reasoning did not expect everyone to be able to agree, tsk, I knew that I used to learn more books related to debate.

"It's just a bunch of nonsense, rebellion is rebellion, and now that it has been admitted, it should be punished according to the crime of rebellion, and the whole family should be beheaded, otherwise what is the effect of the law of the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai jumped out, pointed at Li Shen and said loudly.

"Does King Wei mean that his father will issue an order to copy and behead the whole family?" Li Shen looked at him with a blank face, and he didn't know why His Majesty Li Er liked him with this IQ, and the pig was much smarter than him, so why did he like to jump out of the room.

"This king, this king..."

"King Wei said he couldn't come? Do you need to take you alone to say it? ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at the two people arguing below, looked at Li Tai, and shook his head slightly, what can't be put on the table really disappoints my high hopes, I am really dizzy, and now I can see his true face, no wonder I forced Qian'er to rebel, sighed in a low voice, and said to Li Tai: "Do you mean that I am also in it?" ”

"Father, son, ......"

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei also said that it was Hou Junji." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Tai, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, and said lightly.

"Yes, Erchen said that it was Hou Junji, a rebel minister." Li Tai reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice.

"Rebel minister, you Li Tai can also say this kind of thing from his mouth, Hou Junji is doing disobedient things, and you Li Tai can't say it, his merits, for the entire Tang Dynasty, no one dares to accuse him except for his father." Li Shen said coldly, kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er again, and said: "Since the matter of Erchen's rebellion has been investigated, but Erchen just wants to say that Erchen is just an intentional rebellion, and it has not been implemented, and all Erchen and General Hou and others cannot afford the crime of rebellion, at most they can only bear the charge of intentional rebellion." ”

"What is the difference between intentional rebellion and rebellion?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

"The difference between intentional rebellion and rebellion is definitely big, rebellion is to determine that Lone has rebelled, and intent to rebel is just that Lone has this intention, but the conviction is not very big, which is equivalent to saying that Lone is very likely to rebel, and it is very likely not to rebel." Li Shen explained to Fang Xuanling.

"It's just a bunch of nonsense, rebellion is rebellion, how can you intend to rebel." The eldest grandson Wuji scolded coldly.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said to Li Shen, "Go on." ”

Li Shen nodded, and sighed twice in his heart, it seems that the meals sent every day these days, plus the things taken out, really made His Majesty Li Er change a lot about him, and said: "Father, since the sons and daughters are intent on rebellion, the sons and daughters cannot afford such a crime of rebellion, and General Hou and others cannot afford such a crime, but the sons and generals do have this intention, so the father disposes of the sons and generals Hou, and the sons and generals have no regrets." ”

Li Shen looked at His Majesty Li Er, now he finally made it clear, and he didn't know that he and Hou Junji would be treated like this, I hope God will see it, his requirements are really not too high.

"What does the prince want me to do?"

Looking at the mysterious smile on His Majesty Li Er's face, Li Shen swallowed a little timidly, and said: "Since Erchen is intent on rebellion, Erchen feels that if he can compensate for the sins of Erchen and General Hou, it should be possible, but punishment is still necessary, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be regarded as child's play." ”

"I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make up for it?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shen took out a piece of paper from his chest, held it above his head, and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Erchen is willing to take out this thing to offset some of General Hou's sins, and I hope that my father will approve it." ”

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Li Shen twice, glanced at Duke Yang, took the paper handed by Duke Yang, opened it and looked at it, only to see a pear painted on it, and said a little strangely: "Do you think that a plow can offset General Hou's sin?" ”

"Father, don't you see the strangeness of this plow?" Li Shen asked.

"This plough comes from the hands of the family teacher, which can effectively increase the workload of about 40% of the farm work, and the ground turned out is deeper, and the father has also planted the field, he should know the benefits of plowing the field deeply, and this plough can save manpower more, the son thinks that this should be able to offset part of General Hou's crimes, plus General Hou's own military industry, when the son asks his father to deal with General Hou, for the sake of his past dedication to the court, the punishment is slightly lighter."

Everyone in the main hall looked at each other, some of them were incredulous, it could effectively increase the workload by 40 percent, and save more effort, so how many fields did the farmer have to plant in a year? How much food do you have to produce? Even if there is a famine, I am afraid that Datang will be able to withstand it.

It is indeed unimaginable that 40 percent can increase the food of the people of Datang by at least 40 percent, which is the whole country, not a locality.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Hou Junji who was kneeling on the ground, sighed deeply, and there were tears in his eyes, and asked the ministers, "What do you think of His Royal Highness the Prince's approach?" Whether it can offset some of General Hou's crimes of rebellion. ”

After waiting for a while, no one stood up, and they were not fools who could stand here, and they could all see that His Majesty Li Er was soft-hearted and wanted to protect Hou Junji, at this time, I am afraid that it will backfire from time to time, anyway, the crime of rebellion is not something that can be completed in a moment, the key is that His Majesty Li Er drank Li Shen and caught them off guard, so that they have not yet discussed how to deal with this matter.

His Majesty Li Er looked at everyone and didn't speak, and glanced at Gonggong Yang again.

"Chen Yi of the Propaganda Department, Zhao Da has an audience."

"Minister Chen Yi, Zhao Dayou knocks to see my emperor." One held a white paper in his hand, and the other held a book in his hand, kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Say it." His Majesty Li Er said lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the way to make paper provided by His Royal Highness the Prince, these days have been tested, and the paper has finally been manufactured, the paper is of good quality, the production process is simple, and the price of a piece of paper is estimated to be about the cost of a penny according to Weichen." Chen Yi said loudly with excitement on his face.

"What?" Fang Xuanling asked loudly with a surprised face, the price of a piece of paper is in one article, he heard it right, how is this possible, this price is too low, in this way, I am afraid that the people of the entire Tang Dynasty have the money to let their children go to school, this is simply ......

At this time, he couldn't imagine that after such paper was printed into a book, after a few years, how many talents would emerge in the Tang Dynasty, and when the time came, the imperial court could also select talents in many ways, unlike the current passivity in the selection of officials.
