When Li Er heard Li Tai's words, he finally felt some comfort in his heart and sighed.

"The blue finch is here, huh? If you can have this heart, you will be very satisfied. ”

Li Tai jumped to his feet and scolded.

"Erchen and eldest brother grew up together, but he never thought that the eldest brother would be such a wolf-hearted person, disloyal and unfilial, without a king and a father, wouldn't he want to think about how sad his father and mother would be? Such a disloyal and unfilial person, the son is ashamed to have such a brother! ”

Li Er sighed.

"It's very painful! The firearm supervisor was stolen, Li Yong found out about Hou Selei, and he still hoped that Gao Ming could rein in the precipice and wake up, but it's a pity! He eventually rebelled! ”

Hearing this, Li Tai knew that Li Yong had already found out that the prince had the intention of rebellion, but unfortunately Li Yong was not here, otherwise he really wanted to hug Li Yong and kiss him well to show his gratitude, Li Tai hurriedly said.

"The eldest brother has long been determined to rebel, and in the past year, the sons have also heard a lot of rumors, where is the father and emperor in the eyes of the eldest brother? Erchen only cares about the love of siblings, so he has not exposed him, but he doesn't care about the love of brothers and sisters at all, and he still wants to put his sons to death, regardless of the feelings of brothers and sisters, and now he doesn't even care about the love of father and son! ”

Li Er sighed.

"But Gao Ming is the son of a certain after all, although he doesn't care about the relationship between father and son, he still cares about the relationship between father and son, and it will be an early dynasty soon, and he really doesn't know what to do with him!"

How to dispose of it? Rebellion, is there any other way to deal with it? Of course, rebellion is execution, is it still difficult to do this? Could it be that his father wants to let Li Chengqian go? That's not going to work! As the saying goes, cutting grass is necessary to eradicate the roots, leaving Li Chengqian is a disaster after all, but this is a good opportunity for him to become a regular! Steady, one point to steady, Li Tai hurriedly said.

"Why should the father be embarrassed, since ancient times, rebellion is an unforgivable crime, as the saying goes, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the great crime of rebellion, if the eldest brother is forgiven, then how to warn future generations?"

Li Er groaned.

"Qingque, do you think Gao Ming should be executed? After all, he is your brother, the brother of your mother's compatriots! ”

Li Tai said awe-inspiringly.

"Erchen doesn't have such a brother! The eldest brother disregards the relationship between father and son, regardless of the relationship between brothers and sisters, has no king and no father, is disloyal and unfilial, and his son no longer wants to recognize him as his brother! The country has national law, and the crime of treason is unforgivable, if you forgive the eldest brother, how can you explain it to the subjects of the world? I hope my father will think twice! ”

Li Er sighed.

"Think twice, your mother received the flying pigeon and returned to Chang'an overnight, she was very sad, but you accompany your mother, the pheasant slave, Changle, and the son are still in the Lishan Palace, you have to explain your mother, your mother's health is not good, don't let her worry too much."

Li Tai listened to this, and then sighed.

"The eldest brother didn't know that the queen mother's health was not good, and the year before last, he was seriously ill and dying in the ninety percent palace, and he almost ...... Didn't the eldest brother rebel and think about how sad the queen mother should be if she found out? What if the queen mother falls ill because of this? ”

Li Tai saw his father's face becoming more and more gloomy with the afterglow of his small eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"However, don't worry, the son will go to accompany the queen mother, and he will not let the queen mother be sad!"

Li Er nodded and waved his hand.

"Go, it's time for so-and-so to go to the morning court!"

Most of the mansions of the ministers of civil and military affairs who entered the court are not far from the palace, so many people heard the sound of artillery last night, even the ministers who did not hear it or did not hear it have already heard it now, so they have been looking for Li Yong's traces since they entered the palace, because the first person they think of artillery is Li Yong, only Li Yong can mobilize artillery, and there is no artillery in the palace at all, and the roar of artillery at night must be related to Li Yong, looking for a circle, looking all the way, They never found any trace of Li Yong, they were very sure that Li Yong did not come to participate in the early dynasty at all, and many civil and military ministers were speculating in their hearts that Li Yong should have been imprisoned, right? Therefore, when Li Yong appeared in front of the Taiji Hall and entered the train, it really attracted the attention of all the ministers, because they found that Li Yong did not come from outside the palace, but from the direction of the Ganlu Palace, which means that Li Yong was in the palace last night? What really happened last night? How could Li Yong be in the palace? Only Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, and Xu Shiji were very calm, because they had already known what happened last night, and knew that Li Yong was not only okay but also made great contributions, and Li Yong must have rested directly in the palace last night, so naturally there was no need to enter the palace with everyone, and then everyone was shocked to find that Chai Shao, the Duke of the State of Chen, also walked over from the direction of the Manna Palace, when did the Duke of the Kingdom of Chen return to Chang'an? But it's early soon, everyone is lining up to enter the main hall, can only remain solemn, the civil and military ministers above the fifth grade Yuguan entered the main hall, since entering the palace, nothing has changed, so everyone's hearts have settled down, no matter what happened last night, as long as nothing has changed in the palace, it is a good thing.

"The saint has arrived!"

Li Er walked into the main hall with heavy steps, and the civil and military officials saluted in unison.

"Greetings to the saints!"

"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, flat!"

Li Er said in a deep voice, the early dynasty is for deliberations, originally many ministers have prepared a recital, to play in the early court, but at this time, no one came out to perform the recital, there must have been something big last night, in comparison, what they want to play is nothing at all, who will be in a hurry to make a recital? The hall fell into silence, and the ministers were curious, but they didn't dare to come out to ask each other, Li Erchang sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Zhongqing must have heard last night's movements, and also noticed the bloodstains in front of the Xuanwu Gate, last night, the prince, Hou Junji, Hou Selei, Helan Chushi and others launched a mutiny, gathered thousands of horsemen and more than 1,000 musketeers and two artillery pieces, attacked the Xuanwu Gate, fortunately, Chai Shao, Li Yong, Du Junhui and others have been escorted, and now the prince, Hou Junji and others have been put in prison."

As soon as Li Er's words fell, the hall fell into silence again, and all the civil and military officials were shocked, no one really thought that the prince would rebel before! This is not someone who is exposing it, there is no need to verify, but it is an ironclad fact, the prince's rebellion and attack on Xuanwumen have already happened, and the ministers are spinning their brains rapidly, all of them are digesting the information they have just heard, and now they understand why Li Yong and Chai Shao came from the Ganlu Palace, it turned out that the two of them were guarding the palace ban last night and quelling the rebellion! After thinking about it carefully, everyone is still a little puzzled, since the firearm was stolen? Doesn't that mean that Li Yong is responsible? However, thinking that Li Yong had made a great contribution to guarding the palace ban last night, it seemed a little inappropriate to stand up and accuse Li Yong at this time, however, some people didn't care, Wei Zheng came out of the ranks, and said in a deep voice.

"Firearms are the most important weapons of the nation, so how can they be stolen? Rongfu County is in charge of firearms ......"

Before Wei Zheng could finish speaking, the emperor had already said in a deep voice.

"This is none of Li Yong's business, the prince's rebellion was premeditated, the theft of firearms was last year, when Li Yong went out with the whip, or Li Yong found out the theft of firearms after he came back, and then found out about Hou Sailei, now the most important thing is how to deal with the prince and Hou Junji and others, Zhu Aiqing may wish to discuss it!"

Is this still up for debate? Chu Suiliang immediately stepped out and said in a deep voice.

"The prince, Hou Junji and others launched a mutiny, the rebellion is undoubted, according to the law, Hou Junji and others should be beheaded, and the prince should be killed!"

Rebellion is a capital crime, not to mention the ministers of the court, even the people in the market know it, so after Chu Suiliang finished speaking, no one in the hall had any objections, even the civil officials who originally took refuge in the prince did not have any objections, they did not expect the prince to rebel, if they knew, they would definitely stay away from the prince, at this moment, in order to clear up with the prince, they also came out to agree with Chu Suiliang's words, Li Er asked in a deep voice.

"Auxiliary, what do you think?"

The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the queue and said in a deep voice.

"Saint, the country has national law, rebellion is a capital crime, the crime is unforgivable, in order to warn future generations, for the discipline of the discipline, for the clear law, Hou Junji and others should be executed, and the prince should also be given death!"

Li Er sighed.

"As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, although the prince is rebellious, but after all, he is the son of a certain person, how can he bear it!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

"The minister also knows that the saint is very sad in his heart, but the crime of rebellion is unforgivable, for the sake of the law, for the sake of alerting the world, for the sake of the country, the prince should be given death!"

No one in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty interceded for Li Chengqian, and all the ministers were either silent or insisted on giving Li Chengqian death, not to mention that Li Chengqian was not worthy of sympathy, and there was no grievance when he was given death, who dared to intercede for Li Chengqian? Now the emperor feels sorry for his son, but when the emperor thinks about it later, if anyone intercedes for the prince, won't the emperor think that he is an accomplice to the prince's rebellion? Therefore, whether it was the ministers who took refuge in the crown prince, the ministers who took refuge in the king of Wei, or the neutral ministers, they all asked for the crown prince to be executed, and Li Yong came out and said in a deep voice.

"Sage, the minister has objections!"

Although Li Chengqian's rebellion gave Li Er a great blow, but to execute his most important eldest son, Li Er still couldn't bear it, he thought about it all night in the Ganlu Hall and it was still difficult to make a decision, but all the important ministers in the early dynasty wanted to execute Li Chengqian, and now when he heard Li Yong's objections, it made Li Er's heart perk, and he hurriedly said.

"Li Yong, what objections do you have?"

Li Yong said in a deep voice.

"Rebellion is indeed an unforgivable sin, but the minister feels that the prince should not be given death, the prince has acted radically this year, entered the magic barrier, and there are villains around him, so he embarked on this road of no return, and now the prince must be very regretful, the saint rules the world with benevolence, if he doesn't even let go of his own son, where can it be called benevolence?"

The ministers in the hall were very confused, they didn't expect Li Yong to jump out to intercede for Li Chengqian, they felt that everyone in the hall could intercede for Li Chengqian, but Li Yong You may intercede for Li Chengqian, after all, it was Li Yong who thwarted Li Chengqian's conspiracy, and it was Li Yong who single-handedly sent Li Chengqian to prison, and now, Li Yong jumped out to intercede for Li Chengqian, they wanted to ask Li Yong loudly, what are you going to do? But then again, only Li Yong and Chai Shao intercede for Li Chengqian in this hall will not be suspected of being Li Chengqian's accomplice, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others were also stunned when they heard Li Yong's words, they frequently looked at Li Yong, they felt that Li Yong must be stupid, what happened at this time? Anyway, Li Yong's credit has already been received, so just stand by and watch at this time, it doesn't matter whether Li Chengqian lives or dies, as soon as Li Yong's voice fell, Wei Zheng immediately said in a deep voice.

"The prince of Rongfu is wrong, the prince has committed the crime of rebellion, and he can't be forgiven because he regrets it, if it is the beginning, does the prince of Rongfu know what will happen in the future? There will be more people who rebel, because they will feel that even if they fail, they will not worry about their lives as long as they say that they regret it. ”

Kong Yingda said in a deep voice.

"What Lord Wei said is that the crime of rebellion is unforgivable, and the prince's rebellion is especially unforgivable, because the saint doesn't know whether it is the king or the father to the prince, and the prince wants to kill the king and kill his father, and he has no humanity, how can he forgive?"

Li Yong listened and groaned.

"Although the prince rebelled, but whether there was a desire to kill the king and kill the father, we don't know, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to try the first trial, if the prince really has the intention of killing the king and killing his father, it is naturally an unforgivable crime, if the prince just wants to mutiny to force the saint to abdicate, the minister feels that the prince can be dealt with lightly."

Li Er had always been difficult to make a decision in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but light up after listening to Li Yong's words, he felt that Li Yong had simply spoken to his heart, and he also launched the Xuanwumen Revolution at the beginning, but he was not killing the king and killing his father, so what about Li Chengqian? Li Er nodded.

"What Li Yong said is reasonable, it still has to be tried for the first trial, if the prince still cares about the relationship between father and son, then so-and-so should also care about the relationship between father and son, spare his life, if the prince ignores the relationship between father and son, and wants to kill the king and kill his father, then there will be no father-son relationship between the prince and the prince!"

The ministers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, but they didn't know what to say, after all, the saint also launched a coup d'état but did not kill the king and kill the father, if they want to say anything, they must always take this into account, otherwise it will not anger the saint, even if the prince mutiny just wants to force the saint to abdicate, it is also an unforgivable sin! Who would dare to say such a thing? Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

"But how can we find out the truth?"

The ministers couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and the problem appeared here, how to tell if the prince had any intention of killing the king and killing his father? Is it up to the prince to say it? As long as the crown prince didn't hurt his brain in the mutiny, he would never admit that he had plans to kill the king and his father! Therefore, in their opinion, no matter how they are interrogated, it is to exonerate the prince! It's just that they still don't understand, why did Li Yong exonerate the prince? Li Yong has always kept a distance from the crown prince, and everyone in the court and the opposition can be said to know about it.
