Episode 37: [Overjoyed]

"What does Hou Qing have to play?" Lao Li asked.

"The crown prince prayed for the queen's blessing a month ago, asking for amnesty for prisoners and enlightenment. Although rejected by the queen, this time the queen turned the corner, and it was the prince's filial piety that moved heaven and earth. The minister asked His Majesty to grant amnesty to the world to save the queen. Hou Junji said.

With that, the officials began to talk to each other.

Li Chengqian was a little stunned when he heard this, this matter is still related to himself, why did the former prince come up with such a bad idea!

In the face of illness, Li Chengqian believed in science and rejected superstitious practices. The queen still went to a doctor to treat when she was sick, and the former prince wanted to save the queen by accumulating virtue, which was too unreliable.

And this is not accumulating virtue, but doing something that lacks virtue. Amnesty for prisoners means to release the criminals in the prison, and after such a group of extremely large number of fierce and evil criminals go out, they will endanger society and harm the township, where will they accumulate virtue?

It's still the queen who is reasonable, otherwise she will really harm the lack of virtue that the former prince's son did!

Lao Li touched his beard and said hesitantly: "The queen has always disagreed, but I am afraid that I will ...... I have already ordered the rebuilding of more than 390 abandoned temples to pray for the queen, why don't you let people build more? ”

Yo, this Lao Li is also as superstitious as the former prince, building temples to pray for his wife, which can also be imagined.

This surnamed Hou is also a little bit lacking in his head, and he only praised the prince and missed the credit of Lao Li Xiu's temple, who will be happy to hear it?

"Good!" Fang Xuanling stood up and pushed Lao Li with a word.

Lao Li nodded with satisfaction.

Hou Junji did not give up and said: "The minister thinks that the prince's request for amnesty can accumulate good virtue and accumulate blessings for the queen......"

"Don't!" Li Chengqian stood up and shouted.

The embarrassing things done by the former prince were his business, and now that the prince is himself, Li Chengqian naturally does not want to let this matter fall on his head.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.

Li Chengqian said: "Father, my sons don't remember what they did a month ago, so I am here to ask my father and you for my guilt." Erchen thinks that it is inappropriate to amnesty this law! ”

Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

They were surprised for two reasons. The first is that this amnesty for prisoners was a request made by the prince himself, and now he has stood up against it. However, they remembered about the prince's loss of soul, so it seemed normal to go back on their word. They couldn't help but sigh. The second is that this is an act to accumulate virtue for the queen, and the prince opposes it even if he has lost his soul, isn't it too unfilial?

Lao Li asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Father, the queen mother's illness should not be pinned on these things, but should let the imperial doctors do their best to treat them, study the causes, find out the symptoms, and prescribe the right medicine. I have a lot of resources in the Tang Dynasty, there are many talents, and the people are even more hidden dragons and crouching tigers, there are great miracle doctors, and Erchen knows that there is a miracle doctor, named Sun Simiao, who has sent someone to find it, and I believe that there will be news in these two days. Li Chengqian said.

"The amnesty for prisoners has already been rejected once by my mother, and if she had done it against her will, it would have made her very angry when she found out, and it would have had a bad effect on her body and condition. We shouldn't do such dangerous things. Moreover, amnesty for prisoners is not a matter of accumulating virtue, but of lacking virtue. ……”

When Hou Junji heard this, he interjected: "Why is there a lack of virtue? ”

Cheng Yasha also interjected: "Yes, the prince didn't deliberately say it because he didn't want to accumulate virtue for the queen, right?" ”

"Cheng Zhijie, you ......" Wei Zheng jumped out, and wanted to start a war of words with Cheng Yasha again.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise, listen to Cheng Qian." ”

Li Chengqian continued: "The amnesty for prisoners is undermining the legal system of our Tang Dynasty, criminals will be punished as much as they violate the law, and if they are not able to eat the punishment they deserve, it will give them a fluke mentality, and it is not terrible to break the law, as long as they wait for the amnesty." What is the use of the existence of the law in my Datang, everyone does not take the law seriously, and my Datang will become unfeasible! ”

He didn't know if there were any restrictions on the amnesty of prisoners in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no way to check the legal code at this time, so he said casually, anyway, if there was anything wrong, the officials would also treat him as an amnesiac patient.

"If such people are released in advance, they will increase the instability of society, endanger society, and harm the township. So Erchen said, this is not a accumulation of virtue but a lack of virtue, my mother is wise, she should have seen these two points, so she disagreed with the idea that Erchen put forward before. Li Chengqian hurriedly slapped his mother's ass.

Because he heard from Hou Junji's words that the former prince proposed the bad idea of amnesty, and most of the officials agreed, and later even Lao Li agreed. At this time, when he expressed his opposing opinion, didn't he slap Lao Li's face, so he hurriedly patted his mother's ass, so that Lao Li's face looked good, and he would not embarrass Li Chengqian.

Lao Li sat on the dragon couch above, touching his beard and considering Li Chengqian's words.

"The minister Qiao thinks that the prince's opinion is very good!" Prime Minister Fang Xuanling stood up and agreed with Li Chengqian's words.

Then other officials also followed Fang Xuanling's tail to agree with Li Chengqian's opinion, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly upturned, this feeling of being recognized is really good.

After many officials expressed their attitudes, Lao Li nodded and said, "Okay, according to Chengqian's wishes, there will be no amnesty for prisoners." ”

Li Chengqian said very majestically: "Father, the son also thinks that it is a good thing to rebuild the abandoned temple, but if this money is used in the great drought area, the effect will be greater, and the public morality will be greater, so the son of the minister please ......" When he said this, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing through his neck, and shivered.

looked up at Lao Li above, Lao Li's face was a little unsightly, uh, something bad...... As soon as I was so proud, I said this without even thinking about it. Li Chengqian can say whatever he said about denying his previous request, but running out to deny Lao Li is a slap in the face.

He realized that something was wrong, and naturally he couldn't say the words again, so he got stuck in his throat and made an embarrassed ah-uh sound.

"What please?" Lao Li gritted his back molars and asked in a gloomy voice.

"Didn't ...... invited"

Lao Li stared.

Li Chengqian changed his words again, "Please ......"

Lao Li's face was dark. There was also some commotion among the officials below.

"Please...... Please ......"

Cheng Yasha's laughter was very bad: "Hehe......"

Li Chengqian felt that the situation was wrong, gritted his teeth, and said: "Erchen followed the queen mother's side, knowing that the queen mother is a kind-hearted and kind person who cares about the people, and it will be very distressing to see that the people in the drought-stricken area are suffering, and to rebuild the abandoned temple, those immortals who are living in a good temple will not move to the rebuilt temple, and it is useless to repair it, so compared with the two, my queen mother will definitely support my father to use the money for disaster relief and let the people survive the drought!" ”

He said it in one breath before he dared to raise his head again, looked at Lao Li with his clear eyes, and said, "If you don't believe it, father, you go and ask the queen mother." ”
