Hearing his father say this, Li Er nodded again and again.

"Yes, father, who said no, or what my father said was right."

By the way, father, how do you feel about what your son told you about my Tang Dynasty law before?

"Well, I have been thinking about my Tang Law for a long time about the last time you told my father.

I think it also makes a lot of sense, the world still needs the rule of law after all.

The so-called upward and downward effect, if there is no above, how can this convince the public? ”

In today's world, although it is very plain, the surrounding alien races are also eyeing each other.

In addition to the reasons on your own side, there are many external factors.

"Yes, father, now the imperial examination and the martial arts are being held in order to gather more talents for the use of our Tang dynasty.

In fact, there is another important thing to do this. ”

"Oh, what's the matter, it's okay for me to just say it!"

"My father is actually a matter of five surnames and seven hopes, and now I am the whole world in Datang, and these five surnames and seven wangs are the largest clan in my Datang.

Not only do these people have such a big say in the court, but in fact, they also have a very big say in various territories.

also has a very large right to speak, and if my Datang wants to continue to develop, it will inevitably collide with the interests of this group of clan children.

Just like the one arranged by his father's sons at that time, the paper mill and the printing house.

Originally, Erchen thought that with these factories, students from all over the world could learn more.

Originally, this matter was a particularly good thing, but some time ago, the paper mill and printing factory arranged by Erchen were attacked by thieves.

This group of thieves is still wearing armor, and if it weren't for the strength of the people I arranged, this paper mill and printing house would have been destroyed by this group of thieves.

"What, that's unreasonable.

Hearing this, Li Yuan slapped the table hard.

I am angry not because the paper mill and the printing house were attacked, but because this person actually wore armor to fight, could it be that they don't know that this private armor is a big crime, this is to do things naked like my court.

"Yes, father, this matter has been sent to Dali Temple to secretly investigate.

However, in the end, all the fingers pointed at the Turks.

Although they did this seamlessly, and the spearhead was also pointed at the Turks, but Erchen knew that a small Turk, if he really wanted to make trouble, would he still target this paper mill and printing house?

Moreover, this paper mill and printing factory, Erchen arranged it outside an ordinary Zhuangzi.

My Datang paper mill and printing plant are not the only one, why is that the only one attacked?

Therefore, this matter must be something behind the scenes. ”

After Li Er finished speaking, Li Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

"What you mean is that the people behind this are the children of that group, with five surnames and seven hopes, which is really hateful."

"Father, although Erchen did not have the evidence, Erchen guessed that it might be their five surnames and seven hopes.

It's just that there is no evidence, and I don't dare to startle the snake rashly. ”

"Hmph, this hateful clan has given them such glory and wealth, but they don't want to serve my court, and they still want to make trouble with my court?"

"Father, his sons and ministers also understand that the court and the clan cannot coexist peacefully after all.

These people are like worms that poison my Datang, and they will continue to eat away at the foundation of my Datang.

They all said that there is a Tao that there is no eternal court, but there are eternal clans, which is enough to show the strength of their clan.

Especially these five surnames and seven wangs, looking at how many dynasties, they are still so strong. ”

In fact, their Li Tang Dynasty is also a clan in Longxi, and only by providing money and food can they recruit troops and go to compete with the world.

Of course, this group of clans in Longxi also obtained their corresponding benefits.

It's just that at that time, it belonged to the early establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and it needed a lot of manpower, soldiers, horses, money and food, so it cooperated with their clans.

Now that the whole world has been unified, Li Er, as an ambitious emperor, does not want to be controlled by this group of clans.

At the same time, in order to achieve a more sustainable development in this world, in order to make everything prosperous for Li Tang, so everything he has done is the same!

"It's really hateful, these things that these people are doing under our noses and we can't handle it, damn it!"

"Father, in fact, as long as it is carried out in full accordance with the current plan of the sons, it will not take 10 years for the court and the army to change blood.

Nowadays, many academies have been arranged for this imperial examination, focusing on cultivating those who have no power and power, children of poor families, or children of ordinary people's families.

and this martial arts, which also allows many powerless and powerless children of the poor family, ordinary people, to be promoted to important positions.

It only takes one day that the ordinary children of this court and the children of that clan each occupy more than half.

This means that my court has already won, and there are many more people in the army than they have arranged.

When the time comes, mainly the children of the Han family, this group of clans will be completely controlled by my Datang.

If they want to jump, they are assisting the law of my Datang, as long as their clan dares to jump, my Datang can raise an army and use the law to wipe them all out.

When Li Yuan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

"What my son said is not unreasonable, but my father did not think of so much.

If there's anything going on, just come to me. ”

Hearing what his father said, Li Er got up and saluted.

"Father Xie, the son must receive the order.

By the way, my father, in addition to this matter, my son has something to tell my father. ”

Li Yuan waved his hand.

"There's something wrong with my son, but I might as well do it."

"Father, my son-in-law actually came here this time to discuss with my father about my Tang law.

Erchen thought before, now I, Datang, want to implement the rule of law, and the upward and downward effects.

It's only in this process that the Son of Heaven breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the people of my Datang Dynasty will support my court even more.

It's just that when this law is being put into practice, there are people who always like to do things.

So Erchen thought about it, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he asked his father to make it clear. ”

Hearing his son say this, Li Yuan's face was displeased, and he immediately reprimanded angrily.

"How can this be reasonable, but my Tang royal family does not think about doing things for my court and sharing worries for His Majesty, but they are doing things behind their backs.

Deal with this matter as you would like it.

If you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will be arranged immediately according to the law. ”

"It's just that Father, if you say that this violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty and is subject to death, do you say that this time it will also be directly dealt with according to the death penalty?"

Hearing his son say this, Li Yuan also understood what his son said for a while, this is what he said.

Now it seems that this incident must have been touched by some people, but this person seems to have an interest in himself.

Li Yuan waved his hand when he heard this.

"I already know about this matter, remember what I said, you can deal with this matter as you want, and don't care about anyone's identity.

Even if there is a problem on my side, it is my cronies. ”

As an emperor, he Li Yuan also understands the principle of upward and downward effect.

If this matter is not arranged in this way, if something happens in the future, it will eventually become a big trouble.

Therefore, Li Yuan directly nodded in support of these things told by his emperor this time.

After all, these things are not just because of personal grievances, but also because of the entire Datang world.

Now that this has been said, Li Yuan asked directly.

"Okay, my son, let's just say which royal relative has this happened?

No matter who you are, as long as you dare to make trouble with my Datang, I will stand behind you and support you.

So on the matter, you say it's okay. ”

Hearing what his father said, Li Er smiled slightly, and directly said the reason for the suitability.

"What?"

When Li Yuan heard this, his face changed greatly, and he originally thought that his son would say something?

In the end, he actually said such a sentence.

For a while, his face became particularly ugly.

No one thought that it was his son who did the last thing, and he was the one he liked the most, which made his face particularly ugly.

Looking up at his son again, he heard what he said today, it must have been because he had already made up his mind about this matter.

And asking yourself is just to make sure again.

Now that this has come to this point, it gives people the feeling that this means "cutting first and then playing".

Although I don't feel particularly happy, this has come to this point, even if I want to change, it is already difficult to recover.

After Li Er finished speaking, Li Yuan didn't say anything, and after a little thought, Li Yuan said.

"My son has said so much before, isn't that all there is to it?"

Since this matter has been known to his father, he will not pretend to be a direct showdown.

Li Er nodded and spoke.

"Father, that's true, the son wanted to talk to his father about this matter from the beginning.

But he was afraid that his father would be angry, so he thought of telling his father in a different way, hoping that his father would not be angry. ”

Hearing what his son said, Li Yuan laughed out loud.

"How can I not know what the emperor said?

If this matter is not handled properly, how should the people of the world view me Datang?

My son told his father about this matter, which shows that this is my son's filial piety.

It's too late for the father to feel happy about this, how can he blame you?

Tell your father what kind of punishment will be given for the law that King Anyang has violated this time? ”

Hearing his father's inquiry, Li Er thought for a while, and said the punishment he would receive if he made a mistake this time, deprived him of the throne, demoted him to a commoner, and directly beheaded him.

Hearing that the price paid this time turned out to be a decisive decision, Li Yuan frowned and spoke.

"After all, he is also your younger brother, can you spare his life to demote him to a commoner and exile him to Lingnan."

Hearing what his father said, Li Er thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Father, it's not that the sons don't want to let him go, but because it was said at that time and in the court that the Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people if he breaks the law.

If in the end, it was because he was the younger brother of the son, and the son of his father forgave him.

In this way, how should people in this world view the court?

Isn't the law of my court just empty talk?

Father, if I do this today, if this group of clan children make a mistake, how will I solve it?

If they make a big mistake later, I can punish them as much as I want.

But now it is because the royal relatives have gone through the back door, which makes these things very difficult.

At that time, if this thing happens, those kings and nobles have made mistakes.

And after the clan makes a mistake, it will be punished heavily, so how can the sons and daughters govern the country according to the law?

Originally, if the clan had made a mistake, Erchen would have been able to handle it easily, but because of the appearance of these things, he couldn't handle it. ”

Hearing what his son said, Li Yuan fell into deep thought again.

If things are really as he said, it is obvious that if something happens in the future, this matter will be a watershed in the law of the Tang Dynasty.

If it is handled well, everything that follows can be handled properly.

On the other hand, if this matter is not handled well, at that time, there will definitely be considerable trouble in handling this matter.

Speaking of these things, Li Yuan frowned.

In other words, is his son bound to die?

"Father, the son knows that this King of Anyang is very filial, but Father, what he King Anyang did this time did not deal with him properly, and there would be a big mess in the whole world at that time.

Therefore, the father, the father can no longer think about this matter.

Killing him alone has improved my Datang's law, on the contrary, if everyone turns a blind eye to this matter, the legal system that I have worked so hard to build will definitely fall apart at this moment. ”

Father.

Being enlightened by his own son and saying so many words, Li Yuan sat aside and pondered for a while.

"My son, after dealing with the King of Anyang, can you let him come to the palace to see us for the last time, after all, he is also my son."

"Father, the son will respect his father's will!"

Now that this matter has been said and done, Li Er has also known what his father chose in the end.

stepped forward and saluted again, saying that it was the father, and the son should receive the order.

It's not because he has any fear of this matter, but because his father and son are reconciled as before.

One is filial piety, the other is about the law of the Tang Dynasty, and in this matter, I thought that I couldn't have both, but I also thought about it, if the two really can't have both, even if it makes my father unhappy, I must maintain the dignity of my Datang law.

After all, if he can't handle this matter well, my Datang will have no law to speak of.

At that time, if this group of clans is engaged in something, how will they deal with it?

When the time comes, it will be very troublesome, so I'd rather have this matter even if it is infamous on my back, and I will arrange it like this.

Returning to the Taiji Hall, after being busy for a while, Li Yuan sat aside and exhaled deeply after Li Er left.

I really want to save my son's life, but I also understand better that in fact, my son doesn't need to tell him today.

When I came to Daming Palace this time and told myself these words, I actually gave myself a lot of face as a father.

Forget it, no matter what, they can arrange it however they want, Datang Wanshi Yongchang, I hope it can be truly realized on the son's side!

The next morning, as promised, came early.

One after another, the ministers rushed over and stood in front of them one after another.

Li Er glanced at the ministers and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few months, I have also known about the private visit of the microserver, during the period of the private visit of the microserver, what is the big thing on the court's side?"

The ministers shook their heads when they heard this, but nothing major happened in this world.

"Since nothing major happened in the court, but I encountered some during my private visit to Weifu."

Hearing His Majesty say this, many ministers were puzzled, did Your Majesty encounter something big during his private visit to Weifu?

His Majesty nodded when he heard this.

Li Er nodded when he heard this.

"During this private visit to Weifu, I did encounter some major events.

So I decided to tell you about this important matter. ”

Let me tell you how this matter should be resolved.

As soon as his words fell, Li Er told everything he had seen and heard along the way.

While talking, he asked the officials of Dali Temple to stand up and tell all the things.

Until they told everything about it, everyone was stunned when they heard it.

What does Your Majesty mean by this today? Why didn't you understand this?

How does this feel depends on what Your Majesty means, today this is to open a knife to the King of Anyang.

Who doesn't know that this King Anyang is a very favored heir of the Emperor, and now His Majesty is definitely going to take the King of Anyang, this is to let the Emperor know that this matter must not be fried?

Li Er nodded when he heard this.

"That's right, this is also what I heard in this private interview with Weifu.

Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think we should solve this matter? ”

As soon as the words fell, the minister below was silent, and watched quietly like this.

The officials of the Criminal Department were the first to stand up and speak.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said back then, my Datang Dynasty established the country by law, and those who violate the law must be prosecuted and strictly enforced.

Since these things done by King Anyang have violated my Tang Dynasty law, he should be punished according to the law. ”

Hiss.

Hearing that the criminal law he violated in Anyang was about to die, the rest of the people were all stunned, and some people muttered quietly in their hearts.

You don't think Your Majesty would really do that, do you?

Your Majesty is just asking you this, thinking that you will give you a step, why are you so realistic?

After saying these words, have you considered Your Majesty's face?

Hearing what the ministers said, Li Er glanced up at everyone and continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other ideas?"

Hearing His Majesty's inquiry, the other ministers didn't say anything, but the group of clan disciples stood up directly when they saw this scene and spoke.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen thinks that King Anyang is just a trivial matter that everyone will commit.

This King of Anyang is still a relative of the emperor, and this identity has made this little mistake, just criticize it and educate it, and the crime will not lead to death. ”

yes, yes.

The children of the other clans also stood up and began to say the same thing.

Hearing what they said, Li Er nodded again.

This group of clan disciples, don't look at them saying this, I think they are thinking about my court, but he Li Er is also very clear in his heart.

If you really do what they say, and do what they do, it will be very difficult to deal with this matter at that time.

What a clan, insidious and cunning.

Li Er smiled disdainfully as he spoke, looked up at the other ministers and asked again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what about the others, what do you think?"

Hearing what His Majesty said, the two sides began to discuss this matter, on the one hand, they hoped that my Datang could strictly follow the law, and on the other hand, they thought that this thing was like this, just look at it, criticize and criticize completely, there is no need to be angry because of this matter.

Everyone said a word from you and me, and they talked about this matter.

Li Er didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Until the group chattered and chattered endlessly, and discussed for a long time, Li Er glanced at everyone, coughed, and spoke!

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment, I already know what each of you is thinking.

Regarding this matter, I feel that it should be strictly enforced in accordance with my Datang law.

Since you have made a mistake, no matter what your status, you should do it according to the law, what do you think? ”

Hearing what His Majesty said, the ministers shouted, Your Majesty is holy.

On the other hand, the children of the clan are standing aside, why don't you follow the script?

Could it be that according to His Majesty's will, this King of Anyang is really going to die, which is not right.

This is not like rebellion, if it is a major crime of rebellion, it will definitely be a dead end.

People are just greedy for some money, do something, rob people's daughters, kill some people, for them, this is a trivial matter, why is this matter so serious in the end?

"Spread my will, the king of Anyang violated my Tang Dynasty law, and from today onwards, he will be deprived of his title, demoted to a commoner, and decided!"

"Your Majesty."

"Immediately implement it and announce this matter to the whole world, so as to implement my Datang determination to establish a country by law.

No matter who it is, any identity dares to make trouble with my Datang, the only way waiting for them is a dead end! ”

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers shouted, Your Majesty Shengming.

Li Er waved his hand and arranged for Dali Temple to deal with it.

The prison of Dali Temple, I have been pulled in and locked up for a long time, and I am wailing in pain every day, hoping to see my father.

However, the officials of Dali Temple are all the people arranged by Li Er, and they want to see the emperor without His Majesty's instructions, how can it be!

"You group of people are all looking for death, looking for death, and when I see my father and let my father release me, you people will wait for me to take revenge, you are all looking for death and death."

He said this sentence with anger, and he wanted to destroy all of them at once.

It is simply unreasonable to imprison yourself and give yourself such food!

However, at noon today, I found that there was no food, and not only that, but a few people came over to arrange new clothes for themselves.

Let yourself change your clothes first and go to Daming Palace to see the Emperor!

Hearing that he was going to see his father, King Anyang had a smile on his face, and hurriedly took his clothes, changed his clothes and did not forget to comb his face, and still did not forget to glare at them viciously before leaving.

I thought in my heart, you group of people wait, this time I went to Daming Palace, I must talk about this matter well.

Let the Father punish you for your sins and cure your sins!

On the way to Daming Palace, the entourage stood aside and followed, arrived at Daming Palace, and the moment he pushed the door open, he saw his father sitting at the table.

When he saw his father, he quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of his father!

"Father, father, you have to be the master of your sons.

Father, the emperor, and their group not only beat up their sons, but also put them in prison, father, you have to be the master of your sons! ”

"Okay, my son, you get up first, and my father will naturally give you justice!"

Hearing his father's words, King Anyang hurriedly got up, and his little eyes were still wiping away tears.

Seeing that all kinds of delicacies had been placed on the table, I secretly sighed in my heart, or my father was good to me, knowing that during this time in the prison, I didn't eat well or wear well, so after arranging myself back this time, I let myself have a good meal, and I was moved.

It's just that it's not right to think about it suddenly, so why did my father suddenly know?

I have been in Chang'an City for so long, why has my father been ignoring it, why did he suddenly know about it today?

After thinking about it again, I instantly understood that it must be their group of people, who arrived in Chang'an City in the evening that day and threw themselves directly into the prison, so there are very few people who know, so that these people have blinded their father.

And now I don't know what the reason is, my father knows, and after thinking about it, it must be this reason!

"My son, eat slowly, eat slowly, these things today are all yours!"

"Father, you are really good to me, you don't know, they are not good to me.

Not only did you not give me this food, but you insulted me, what are you people standing here?

Don't you see me talking to my father? Why don't you get out of here? ”

Hearing his angry shout, the accompanying officials were unmoved, and still stood aside and watched quietly.

"Hello my son, don't be so grumpy, eat your meal first.

Your temper should be restrained, my father told you before, don't do these wrong things just because you are a relative of the emperor and my son.

You must know that in fact, your eldest brother, who is now His Majesty, is also very hard. ”

"Father, the son already knows that he is wrong, and the son promises to listen to his father well in the future.

Definitely don't make things difficult for big brother. ”

After eating and drinking, he swallowed all the last soup into his stomach, burped heavily, looked up at his father and said!

"Father, I'm already full, Erchen wants to go and ask the eldest brother, Erchen should follow his father's side.

I won't go back to Taiyuan, so I'll just stay in the palace and serve my father.

Father, as he gets older, although he has a royal brother to take care of him in Chang'an.

But the emperor's brother has every opportunity, I can come to Daming Palace, 12 hours a day, and have been waiting for my father! ”

Just hearing what his son said, Li Yuan shook his head.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"I've eaten my father."

"Now that you're full, let's go on the road, and you must remember to be a good person!"

"Father, I know that I will be on the road, and after returning to Taiyuan this time, I will definitely change my past mistakes and never do anything wrong again."

"My son, you can't go back to Taiyuan, if you have the opportunity in the next life, you can still be my son.

Remember, be a prince again, but don't violate my Tang Dynasty law!

"What?

When he heard what his father said, King Anyang stood directly and asked unconvinced.

"Father, what did you mean by that? What next life? What's going on? And let me go on the road, where do I go?

Didn't you let me go back to Taiyuan? ”

"Hey, you stupid boy, you've gone too far this time.

You have violated my Tang Dynasty law, and from today onwards, you will be demoted to a commoner and beheaded for public use.

Your royal brother also saw in the face of his father, and brought you out of the prison, so that you could have a full meal, and our father and son met and asked my father to send you on your last journey.

You, I will still be your father in the next life! ”

What?

Shouldn't the father and son finish talking and then let themselves go?

Why did this suddenly come to a big reversal, this is thinking about his own life?

"Father, father, beg my father to spare his sons.

Father, father, beg my father to spare his sons.

Father, the son doesn't want to die, the son doesn't want to die.

Father, father, by the way, I want to see my eldest brother, I want to see my imperial brother, I want to see Your Majesty! ”

However, just when he was very excited, the accompanying soldiers quickly stepped forward and held him down!

The Emperor Taishang waved his hand, he turned around, his eyes had become ruddy, after all, this is also his own son.

is also his favorite, the most filial one, and now he is going to be executed because of the law of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, he also understands this matter.

His Majesty is now his own son, and he is nothing more than killing chickens and setting an example.

It's just that this son of his own has done these things a little offensively, but if anyone else does it, he will die, alas!

Speaking of this, he sighed helplessly.

There is no way, on the one hand, it is my Tang Law, and on the other hand, it is the life of my son.

Thinking back then, when he was the emperor, he might not have taken these things into account, at most he would be demoted to a commoner, and he would be arranged in the future and let him do things in a low-key manner.

And now the times are different, things are no longer the same, and I can't manage so much.

"Father, father, I want to see my eldest brother, I want to see my brother."

I want to see Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to spare my life.

"What are you shouting, tell you that these things you have done, and the order to kill them is Your Majesty's will.

If you go to see Your Majesty, even if you do, it will be useless.

And what about the people you killed, where are they going to find whom to avenge their grievances?

Speaking of these things, King Anyang's expression became irritable, they are all a group of untouchables, you are all just a dog raised by my imperial brother, what if I kill a group of untouchables?

Now the royal brother wants to kill his brother for the sake of a group of untouchables?

Does he want to follow the example of Xuanwumen back then, and kill all his brothers?
