"Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified, the evidence of King Qi's rebellion is conclusive, and King Qi and his henchmen have all confessed, this is the case file of the interrogation, please ask Your Majesty to adjudicate!" In the Liangyi Palace, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Imperial Historian came to the Liangyi Hall to report to Li Shimin, and also presented the interrogation files.

Li Shimin frowned at this time, and immediately asked people to take the case file and open it, and personally read the interrogation case file in detail, but the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and finally slapped the case file on the book case, and he couldn't read it anymore.

Seeing Li Shimin angry, the three people below are also you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to speak again for a while, but now that the case has been tried clearly, if it were ordinary people, they would have already come to a conclusion, but the protagonist of this matter is Li You, so they don't dare to call the shots, and they came today to ask Li Shimin to make a decision.

I saw Li Shimin sitting behind the bookcase panting constantly, as if he was suppressing the anger in his chest, and after a long while, I saw him slowly speak: "The case has been cleared, what are your opinions?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin ask what they meant, the three ministers couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then saw Dali Siqing finally take the initiative to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the evidence of the rebellion of the King of Qi is conclusive, among which there are a total of forty-seven henchmen of the King of Qi who participated in the rebellion, and the opinion of the ministers is that these people are all capital crimes and cannot be forgiven!" ”

This Dali Siqing is also a slippery head, he only said that he wanted to execute Li You's henchmen, but he didn't say how to deal with Li You, which obviously kicked the ball to Li Shimin again, but the imperial historian and the criminal department Shangshu next to him all showed appreciation to him, after all, this kind of thing is still decided by Li Shimin himself.

Li Shimin naturally saw through the plans of the following three people at a glance, but he also knew that Li You's life and death had to be decided by himself, although he had already preferred to execute Li You to punish him, but when it really came to this time, he hesitated a little, and even thought of killing his own son, he also felt that his heart was bleeding.

Thinking that his son's life and death were in his own hands, the expression on Li Shimin's face was also uncertain, and after a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said slowly: "The forty-seven people who participated in the rebellion of King Qi were all executed, as for Li You, the king of Qi, ......"

When Li Shimin talked about the treatment of Li You, he suddenly hesitated again, he had already made up his mind to sentence Li You to death, but at this time, he suddenly thought that when Li Xiu came to see him before, he advised him to be cautious about Li You's sentence, and never let himself regret it, which made his mind also have a trance for a while.

"For the time being, the King of Qi will be stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the palace for introspection, and I will dispose of it myself in the future!" In the end, Li Shimin still failed to kill Li You immediately, and only temporarily locked him in the palace, but this is not to say that Li You will not die, but Li Shimin needs to think about the disposal of Li You for a while.

Hearing Li Shimin's decision, the three ministers below had no objections, after all, it was impossible for them to force Li Shimin to kill Li You, this kind of thing was against the family, and secondly, the royal affairs were already troublesome, so in addition to Li Shimin, they were not willing to participate too much.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the minister to report!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, step forward and said, Speaking of which, Liu Dewei escaped the catastrophe last time in Qizhou, and later after Li You was arrested, he personally escorted him to Chang'an, and served as the chief judge of the case of King Qi's rebellion.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked weakly at this time.

"This ......" I saw Liu Dewei hesitate for a moment, and finally spoke, "Your Majesty, because of the rebellion of King Qi, we have arrested many people related to King Qi, one of whom is the prince's personal guard Su Gan Chengji, this person has had a close relationship with Yan Hongxin and others around King Qi, and according to Yan Hongxin's confession, Su Gan Chengji has had many disrespectful words to His Majesty, and he should be punished with death according to the law, but he is the prince's personal guard, so our criminal department is also a little hesitant. ”

"Hmph, I have just said that all those involved in this case, no matter what kind of background the other party is, will all be dealt with according to the law!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time, although he was reluctant to execute his son, he would not be so merciful to others, and even he thought that the reason why Li You had come to this point today was inseparable from the villains around him.

After getting Li Shimin's reply, Liu Dewei immediately agreed, in fact, he had already sentenced Su Gan Chengji to death in his heart, but this matter involved the prince, so for the sake of insurance, he still asked Li Shimin's opinion, after all, the prince and King Wei are very sensitive figures now, and he doesn't want to be involved in the fight between the two for no reason.

After dealing with Li You's affairs, Li Shimin also felt upset and irritable, so he asked Liu Dewei and others to retreat, and Liu Dewei was also anxious to go back to deal with Li You's henchmen, after all, these people were all locked up in his prison of the Criminal Department, so after chatting with Dali Siqing and the two of them, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After returning to the Criminal Department, Liu Dewei personally wrote the sentence approval for Yan Hongxin and others, and also prepared to behead these people, originally according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the execution of prisoners is generally to wait until the autumn to execute, to be precise, the frost falls to the period before the winter solstice, because according to the concept of the ancients, this period of time when everything withers, so it is also in accordance with the will of heaven to behead the prisoner in this season.

However, rebellion is a heinous felony, and there is no need to wait until the end of the autumn at all, and a repeat offender like this may have an extra day of variables if he stays for one more day, so he will generally be beheaded immediately after being convicted.

Li Youmou's rebellion case is the case that the Criminal Department is most concerned about during this time, not only Liu Dewei personally tried it, but also most of the officials in the Criminal Department were also involved, and many people also knew that he entered the palace today to ask Li Shimin's opinion, so as soon as he came back, many people came to inquire, and he did not hide it, after all, Yan Hongxin and these people would be beheaded in a few days, so after a while, the entire Criminal Department already knew about Li Shimin's verdict.

However, just when Liu Dewei had just written the approval of the conviction of Yan Hongxin and others, and was about to send it to Li Shimin for him to write for execution, he didn't expect that someone suddenly came to report that there was an accident in the prison of the Criminal Department, and to be exact, it was said that something happened to the prince's personal guard, Su Gan Chengji.
