There was a commotion in the hall for a moment, and after a while, all the ministers turned their eyes to Li Shimin, and whether they saw Ouyang Tong or not depended on Li Shimin's idea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, he was a little ashamed of Ouyang Tong in his heart, so he didn't really want to see Ouyang Tong, and Ouyang Tong suddenly asked to see him, maybe he was crazy in his brain, if he made trouble in the main hall, what would he do?

However, Li Shimin did not hesitate for too long, and after a while, he nodded: "Xuan Ouyang Tong has an audience." ”

Li Shimin gave such an order, and immediately a eunuch shouted, this order was passed down layer by layer, and when the voice fell, Ouyang Tong had already knelt down and knocked on the top of the main hall.

When everyone saw Ouyang Tong giving such a big gift, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they secretly wondered what this kid wanted to do?

Entering the main hall, Li Shimin asked, "What is the matter with Ouyang Tong coming here?" ”

Ouyang Tong knelt down and said: "Back to the saint, the grass people are here to seek justice for their father. ”

Hearing Ouyang Tong's words, the crown prince Li Chengqian and the Wei king Li Tai were both shocked in their hearts, but Wu Wang Li Ke showed a light smile, just listening to Ouyang Tong's words, he knew that his plan was successful.

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, Ouyang Tong wanted to seek justice for Ouyang, how did he want to ask for it, could it be that he wanted to impeach his two sons? Although Li Shimin is a wise man and open-minded, he will never allow such a thing to happen.

However, he was not in a hurry to get angry, but asked, "How do you want to get justice?" ”

Ouyang channel: "Most of the sin in the death of my father lies in the grass people, if it weren't for the grass people, how could my father suffer this fate." ”

Everyone didn't expect Ouyang Tong to talk about his sin first, but they weren't particularly surprised by this, no matter what, if it wasn't for Ouyang Tong having to go to Shiquanle to watch the cockfight, there would be no follow-up.

But at this time, Ouyang Tong said again: "The grass people are guilty, but the death of the father is not the crime of the grass people alone, if the murder occurs, my Tang Dynasty officials can seriously examine the corpse, how can there be such an unjust, false and wrongful case?" Without such an unjust, false and wrongful case, how could my father have died? ”

Ouyang spoke, and the entire court suddenly fell silent.

But Li Ke, the king of Wu, was stunned, he thought that Ouyang Tong was going to be responsible for the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai, but why did he suddenly bring the topic to the criminal law, did he let the news not reach Ouyang Tong's ears?

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that Ouyang Tong's words were reasonable, but although they were reasonable, they were too bold and reckless, the laws and rules of the imperial court have always been like this, and he said these words to challenge the criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, before knowing Li Shimin's inclination, the ministers did not dare to speak casually.

Li Shimin was stunned, he didn't expect Ouyang Tong to come up with such a remark at a young age, was this really what he wanted to say?

"Do you mean that the people of Chang'an's Assassin Mansion are responsible for this?"

Ouyang Tong shook his head: "The officials of the Assassin Mansion act according to the rules, how dare the grass people accuse them, the grass people are just not satisfied with my Datang criminal law, the grass people ask the saint to take human life very seriously, and if a prisoner is not executed, he will think twice until he is sure that they really deserve to die, and the saint is in awe of life, but in terms of the current criminal law of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that I can't do this." ”

Ouyang Tong actually said that the current criminal law of the Tang Dynasty could not do this, and the courtiers couldn't help it at this time.

"The boy of the Ouyang family, this is a big hall, and the words are not said casually."

"Yes, my Datang criminal law has been practiced for decades, what's wrong?"

The ministers seemed to be accusing Ouyang Tong, but they were actually saving him, and now Ouyang Tong has not said anything that makes Li Shimin particularly angry, if their words can make Ouyang Tong shut up, it will undoubtedly save his life.

After all, criminal law is the norm of Datang, and to say that he is not good and has loopholes is to say that Datang is not, how can Li Shimin tolerate it?

But when the ministers accused Ouyang Tong like this, Ouyang Tong was unmoved at all, and said: "Naturally, there is something wrong, such as the body of the deceased, shouldn't we make a decision after the inquest is clear, and then determine the real cause of death?" Is it really okay to just have someone who doesn't really know about autopsies look at the body and see if there are any external injuries? ”

Ouyang Tong said, and suddenly said to Li Shimin: "Caomin just thinks that my Datang criminal law is a little inappropriate because of my father's matter, so he thinks that the saint can improve it, so as to avoid the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases, the saint is in awe of life, when we start from the root, is it really just to execute criminals when we formulate the criminal law?" Shouldn't we save the innocent from doom? ”

As soon as Ouyang Tong said this, the hearts of the ministers were suddenly shocked, they had never considered what purpose the criminal law was set up, if it was only on the surface, the criminal law was to execute those criminals who had released the law, but they had already broken the law, and the criminal law executed them as a normal thing, the effect was there, but it was not big, and it could not play the role of reverence for life.

But saving the innocent from doom is a different story.

The innocent should not have been punished, but because of the inadequacy of the court's criminal law, they suffered bad luck, which is indeed embarrassing and somewhat inappropriate.

They couldn't believe that such a sentence actually came from the mouth of Ouyang Tong, a young man who was not as weak as the crown.

"Saintly, the ancients had the virtue of a good life, but what is the virtue of a good life, is it more virtuous to save a person who is originally guilty, or is it more virtuous to save an innocent person? In Chen's view, the latter is more humane. ”

"Saint, the minister also thinks so, if there are innocent people in my Datang who suffer bad luck, this is my Datang's wrong."

"The minister seconded the ............"

"The minister also seconded the .................."

The officials who originally thought that Ouyang Tong's move was looking for death suddenly changed their minds because they heard Ouyang Tong's last words.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin knew that Ouyang Tong's words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Datang Law did have some deficiencies in the attitude towards corpses and the review of cases. ”

After retiring from the dynasty, the ministers left one after another, and when they left, they were still discussing what Ouyang Tong said, and Ouyang Tong was called to the imperial study by Li Shimin.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at Ouyang Tong and asked, "At this time, there are only the two of us, you don't need to hide it, and tell me, are you thinking these words yourself?" ”

Ouyang Tong hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down for Li Shimin: "It's the crime of the grass people, in fact, these words are ...... It's all taught by the little marquis. ”
