Li Shimin was not a self-righteous person, but after listening to his wife's advice, he recalled the big treasure book presented by Zhang Yungu three years ago, and then recalled that Wei Zheng tapped himself in his ears from time to time, and listened to the truth that it was clear and partial belief was dark.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt remorse in his heart, and felt that he was indeed a little impatient in the execution of Zhang Yungu.

Just because he saw a piece of Quan Wanji and listened to the testimony of several jailers, he was so angry that he didn't even give Zhang Yungu a chance to defend himself and killed him, thinking about it now, it's really a bit inappropriate.

Li Shimin, who realized that he might make a mistake, suddenly had the idea of re-investigating the case of Zhang Yungu and Li Haode.

He is a resolute person, and he has made up his mind, so he immediately took action, and under this investigation, he really found many suspicious points.

According to the evidence submitted through multiple channels, it is proved that Zhang Yungu knows Li Haode, but it has no relationship with the cover-up.

This Li Haode does suffer from epilepsy, but sometimes it is good and sometimes bad, and when it is good, it is no different from ordinary people.

In other words, the facts of the case presented by Zhang Yungu are all true, and he did not do anything to deceive the king for personal gain.

When it comes to his fault, it's just that before the release order of the judicial department was issued, he told Li Haode about it first.

But because of such a small mistake, he was killed in a fit of anger, which was really wronged, after Li Shimin figured out the cause and effect of this incident, since he was angry and regretful, he first summoned Quan Wanji in and scolded him for his head and face.

and warned him that before participating in the future, he must find out the reason, and he must not believe one-sided words, and he will be confused, Quan Wanji was scolded so much that his brain was confused, and he was a little aggrieved in his heart.

He thought in his heart that the imperial history was already expected to play the power, not to mention that he had personally seen it at the time, and when he sent someone to investigate, he did find out that Zhang Yungu and Li Haode were old acquaintances, and he only went to Zhang Yungu truthfully based on the information he obtained.

As for how to verify this matter, it should be a matter for your emperor and the judicial department, right? Why did you kill someone in a fit of rage, and now you find out that you killed the wrong person, but you are angry with me?

However, although Quan Wanji was aggrieved, he did not dare to defend himself in the face of the angry emperor, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what I have summoned you to do today?" Li Shimin looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall, and said with a calm face.

The ministers looked at the emperor whose air pressure was obviously low, their hearts tightened, and they shook their heads at the same time.

"I don't know, right, then I will say it bluntly, I summoned you today for Zhang Yungu's matter, and Zhang Yungu should be punished for violating the law, but the crime will not lead to death."

"At that time, I executed him immediately in a fit of anger, and my actions were obviously out of order, but you ministers, knowing that my actions were not in accordance with the rules, but none of you stood up to dissuade them.

"Is it that you all look at that Zhang Yungu unpleasantly, or are the uprightness and uprightness you show on weekdays all fake?" Li Shimin's eyes fell on the ministers and reprimanded angrily.

The ministers were silent, and some people complained silently in their hearts, with your angry appearance that day, even if someone stood up to dissuade you, it may not be able to persuade you, right?

Not to mention, there were all human and material evidence at that time, who knew that there were so many hidden reasons in the middle.

"Wei Zheng, you are the most daring person to tell the truth on weekdays, and above the main hall, you have done more than two things in front of me, why do you keep silent about this matter?" Seeing that no one was angry, Li Shimin's anger became even stronger, and he turned his attention to Wei Zheng.

"This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and the minister has done it, please punish Your Majesty." Wei Zheng, who was named, stood up, he didn't say anything to justify, and directly pleaded guilty.

"Hmph, I don't want to condemn you by naming you, the person who has made the biggest mistake in this matter is me, if I really want to condemn you, how should I deal with myself? The reason why I have called you all here is to tell you through this. ”

"Human life is of the utmost importance, and once it dies, it cannot be reborn, so in the face of human life, there is no room for negligence, and I hope that you can all keep this firmly in mind."

"After Zhang Yungu's incident, I found that there are great drawbacks in the criminal law of our dynasty, and this point must be corrected, and a premise is added to the article of the death penalty law, and if there is a death sentence in the future, the execution can only be carried out after five repetitions within the Beijing division and three repetitions outside the Beijing division."

"After you go down, you will immediately start this matter, which will be jointly revised by the three provinces and six ministries, and after it is drafted, it will be brought to me for review, does anyone have any opinion on this?" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, and his eyes swept over Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and others one by one, and continued to speak.

"The ministers have no objections, Your Majesty's proposal is very good, and after the ministers wait, they will start to do it immediately." Zai Fu Fang Xuanling stood up and was the first to speak.

"The ministers seconded the proposal." The other courtiers should immediately chimed in.

Coming out of the Taiji Palace, on the way to Zhongshu Province, Wei Zheng's face was quite solemn, and Dai Guan, the head of the household department who had a good relationship with him, walked up to him and said with a smile: "Xuancheng's face is so ugly, could it be because he was named and reprimanded by His Majesty?" ”

"I am indeed at fault in the matter of Zhang Yungu, Your Majesty is justified in reprimanding, even if Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will not have the slightest complaint, I am introspecting, reflecting on what I thought at the time, why I was indifferent to this matter." Wei Zheng glanced at him and spoke.

"Hey, speaking of this, I also feel deeply guilty and uneasy when I think about it, I have only heard the word "public mouth" before, and the guilty are also said to be innocent, and the sage can also be said to be a great evil, originally I still didn't believe it."

"At least I don't believe that such a thing will happen under His Majesty's court, but it just happened, Zhang Yungu did die a little unjustly, and we, the ministers, everyone has to bear some responsibility for his death." Dai Xuan was also full of emotion.

"However, Zhang Yungu's death can make His Majesty reflect so much, and he actually had the idea of changing the death penalty law, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death, if he can use his death to fight for more opportunities for all wronged prisoners in the whole country to prove themselves, such injustice, I Wei Zheng is also willing to suffer." After listening, he said again.

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji, who happened to walk past him, listened to it, and their eyes showed a thoughtful look at the same time.

Li Shimin's proposal to change the death penalty law was quickly promulgated and implemented.

After the implementation of the death penalty repetition system, the results were remarkable, the judicial officials became more and more self-disciplined and prudent, Li Shimin's style of prudence and leniency was also widely known in the world, the people were strict with themselves, the world style became clearer and clearer, and the prosperity of Zhenguan officially kicked off.
