Chapter 148: Li Shimin, who loves his son
Li Chengqian said: "Among the ministers, there is a recognized and impartial figure, that is, Wei Zheng, the former superintendent of the imperial history and the current Zhongshushe. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Erchen recommended him to be the presiding judge. ”
After he finished speaking, a group of his subordinates also came out to support.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, he asked, "Are there any other candidates?" ”
Next, everyone elected a few ministers, but Li Shimin still didn't say anything, he said: "Today's morning dynasty is here." We'll talk about it later. ”
It is said that Wei Zheng is fair and prestigious, and among the people elected this time, the voice is the highest, and he should be the right person. However, Li Shimin was unwilling.
Li Shimin loves his son very much, and he doesn't want Li Ke to be executed. Wei Zheng's recognized six relatives did not recognize it, how could Li Shimin dare to hand over the presiding power to Wei Zheng to hear Li Ke's case?! Once the crime is established, there is absolutely no room for accommodation for Wei Zheng, and Li Ke will be dead.
What he needs now is a sleek figure who can exonerate Li Ke without allowing the case to have obvious loopholes and be criticized.
In fact, he wanted Cen Wenwen to try this case, and Cen Wenwen was thoughtful and sophisticated, and met this condition. However, Cen Wenwen used to be Li Ke's teacher, and he had to avoid suspicion.
Back in the study, he wanted to ask Cen Wenwen to see if he had any suitable candidates, and he knew that Cen Wenwen would definitely recommend candidates who were beneficial to Li Ke.
Li Shimin said: "Text, in today's court, everyone has nominated so many candidates for the chief judge, do you see which one is suitable, or, do you also nominate a candidate?" ”
Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that among these people, Wei Zheng is the most suitable. ”
Li Shimin was very surprised, he stared at Cen Wenwen for a while, trying to figure out what he meant, he originally thought that Cen Wenwen would definitely not support the choice of Wei Zheng.
Li Shimin has personally tried the materials of this case several times, trying to find out the loopholes that can exonerate Li Ke, but unfortunately, the human and material evidence is complete, the truth of the matter is clear at a glance, and there is no loophole to exploit at all!
If this is handed over to Wei Zheng for trial, Li Ke will definitely die!
Li Shimin said quietly: "Text, you tell me the reason for recommending Wei Zheng. ”
Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei has always been fair and selfless, and the conclusions he made about this case will definitely convince everyone, and no one will criticize this case." ”
Li Shimin admitted this, and it was precisely because of this that he did not dare to let Wei Zheng try the case. If he wants to be the first emperor of the ages, he is naturally strict with himself and does not dare to bend the law for personal gain. However, Li Ke is a very good young man and one of his favorite sons, he can't watch his son die, right?
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "Text, I know that you have a close relationship with Li Ke, and I won't hide it from you." I'm a father, how can I watch my son die? I want to save Li Ke.
If this case is handed over to Wei Zheng for trial, Wei Zheng is too straight and not good at being round. The evidence in this case is conclusive, and Li Ke will definitely die.
I believe you must be trying to save Li Ke, I don't understand, why do you still recommend Wei Zheng to try this case? ”
Seeing that Li Shimin trusted himself so much, he put his heart into himself. Cen Wenwen was greatly moved in his heart, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister wants to save His Royal Highness the King of Shu that Wei Zheng was recommended to try this case." You want to ......"
Cen Wenwen told Li Shimin the mystery of this.
Li Shimin was extremely excited and excited, he stood up and bowed deeply to Cen Wenwen, and said, "Wenwen, I really don't know how to thank you, please accept my salute." ”
Cen Wenwen was startled and hurriedly avoided it. He said: "Your Majesty, this idea was not thought up by the minister, but by His Royal Highness King Liang. ”
Li Shimin was also taken aback, and he said with some disbelief: "Is it a child? ”
Cen Wenwen said affirmatively: "It is His Royal Highness King Liang." ”
Li Shimin doesn't believe that Li Su can come up with a good way, in the past year, this former son of three evils has solved many problems for him, and his intelligence is really amazing. He didn't ask Li Su for an idea, because the relationship between Li Ke and Li Su has always been like fire and water.
He didn't expect that at the critical moment, Li Su would come to the rescue of Li Ke.
Li Shimin was moved, his eyes moistened, and he said in his heart: "Good son, worthy of being my Li Shimin's good son." ”
He said decisively: "Okay, just do it!" ”
The next morning, the main hall of the Taiji Palace.
After discussing other matters, Li Shimin said: "Regarding the trial of the case of Li Ke, the king of Shu, who was suspected of smuggling salt and iron, and was suspected of being an enemy, everyone elected Wei Zheng as the chief judge, and I think it is appropriate. Wei Zheng has always been fair and never bends the law for personal gain, so he is worthy of this position.
My decision has been made, and Wei Zheng will serve as the presiding judge of the case. Wei Zheng took the order. ”
Wei Zheng came out of the class and said, "The minister is here." ”
Li Shimin said: "I have ordered you to be responsible for trying the case of Li Ke, the king of Shu, who is the enemy, and you must try it impartially and must not bend the law for personal gain." ”
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will uphold justice and try this case in accordance with the law." Decree of the Minister. ”
At this time, the gang of the crown prince Li Chengqian and the gang of Li Tai, the king of Wei, were very happy, thinking that this time Li Ke was dead. They are all waiting to see what happens to Li Ke being disposed of.
Wei Zheng took over the case, he was serious and active, and immediately began the trial. But he soon ran into trouble.
First of all, Li Ke, he did not admit any of the charges against him, no matter how Wei Zheng tried it, even in front of several witnesses, he still did not let go.
The next trouble came from Li Shimin.
After the trial, Wei Zheng found that the evidence was conclusive, and whether Li Ke admitted it or not, he had concluded that Li Ke was guilty of being an enemy.
He reported it to Li Shimin, who was very serious, praised him, and said that he would take a closer look at the case file, and then he was silent.
After waiting for a few days, seeing that Li Shimin was not angry, he couldn't help but ask. Li Shimin said that he was too busy these days to take care of it. Let him wait a few more days.
A few days later, Wei Zheng asked again. Li Shimin sent the case file back to him, saying that there were many doubts in it and asked him to review it again.
Wei Zheng carefully doubled it many times and found that there were no discrepancies. So he presented the case file to Li Shimin. Soon, Li Shimin said that he still had questions and asked him to continue the review.
In this way, time dragged on day by day.
Speaking of Cheng Chuhuang and Wei Chi Baoqi, the two of them shouldered heavy responsibilities, and quickly stepped up their horses and went straight to the royal court of the Tiele Department. Along the way, they kept changing horses at the post stations along the way, and the Marshall people did not stop, running wildly all the way.
On this day, they finally came to the royal court of the Tiele tribe and asked to see the Khan Khan Qibi Dark Cloud.
