Chapter 246: Punishment (2)

"What does that mean, are you complaining?"

Li Jing snorted coldly and asked.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister definitely doesn't mean this, Su Heng offended the saint, it should indeed be severely punished, it's just the law of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's relatives are different from the common people, and everything committed should be handed over to Zongzheng Temple for disposal!"

Zong Zhengqing Pei Tan hurriedly saluted Li Jing, he didn't dare to get involved with the bully, so he had to move out of the Tang Dynasty Law to talk about things, as long as he could get Su Heng to Zongzheng Temple.

He has a way to characterize this matter from bullying the monarch to a dispute of tongues, even if he doesn't let Su Heng go, it is better than Yushitai in Zongzheng Temple!

But how did he know that Li Jing had made up his mind to rectify the rule of officials, so that the moral level and overall ability of Datang's officials would be improved!

How could he let go of the culprit who shielded and persecuted the bullies of the Tang Dynasty, especially the guy who dared to bully him with his power, how could he convince the world if he didn't punish him severely?

Originally, Su Heng's matter was not without room for maneuver, even if he was sentenced, he would be imprisoned for a few years at most, accept labor reform in it with peace of mind, and be a new person after he came out!

But after Pei Tan and others made such a fuss, things developed in another direction, making the whole thing even more serious, and Li Jing had to punish them severely.

If they let them go because they are relatives, it will be tantamount to rejecting the previous suggestion made by Yao Chong, and he, the emperor, will also become a person who does not believe in his word.

Not only that, Yao Chong will also be disappointed in him because of this, and finally choose to resign, then his previous efforts will not be in vain, if he wants to make Datang a prosperous world, Yao Chong cannot be absent.

"What Su Heng committed this time is not an ordinary dispute, what he did is shameful to the people of the world, Zongzheng Temple is not suitable to intervene in this matter, so I handed Su Heng over to Yushitai for disposal."

Li Jing made a judgment on Su Heng's case, and Su Heng's case is still tried by the Yushitai, and it must be handled impartially, and there must be no injustice.

Su Heng can only be handed over to Xu Yougong and others, so that law enforcement can be fair, and if he is replaced by another yamen, as long as the Su family moves, Su Heng may be acquitted!

This not only does not play any good role in maintaining the justice of Datang's laws, but will play a counterproductive role, and Datang's laws are undoubtedly a bunch of nonsense for the powerful.

"Sage, Heng'er is just a moment of confusion, he will do such a thing, his heart is not bad, please ask the saint to be gracious, take him back to discipline, the minister will definitely discipline Su Heng well, and ask the sage to be gracious!"

Wake up or still unwilling to give up, hurriedly knelt down to salute Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing can take back his life, his son has never suffered since he was a child, if he is allowed to stay in prison for a few years, he really can't imagine.

"Presumptuous! I said it so clearly, but you are still messing around when you wake up, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, you don't want to work for the Tang Dynasty! ”

"The reason why Su Heng is here today is not because of your excessive connivance, there is no way to wake up your godson, so that Su Heng is the one who is in trouble, from today on, you will be stripped of all your official positions and titles, demoted to a commoner, and I will be removed from the palace."

Li Jing made a judgment on Su Xing, waved his big hand, and called the guards to fork Su Xing out.

Su Xing was frightened on the spot, he never thought that because of such a trivial matter, he would lose his official position, and he would never have anything to do with glory and wealth!

Su Xing couldn't understand what kind of rebellious thing Su Heng had done, and he would suffer even if he was involved, so he wouldn't have come to save that rebel if he knew it, let him fend for himself!

Pei Tan and Pei Ning were even more frightened, they didn't have the calmness just now, and they kept complaining in their hearts that Su Heng was not sensible, why were they so unlucky, they had nothing to do and had to come to this troubled water, now it's okay, maybe they will put themselves in it. "Sage, if there is nothing else, the old minister will retire!" 33

Pei Tan saluted, planning to hurry away, Su Heng's kid, whoever loves to save will be saved, he should not have this relative.

"Pei Aiqing, are you old this year? How long have you been doing this? ”

Li Jing looked at Pei Tan's grandfather and grandson, he didn't plan to let go of this grandfather and grandson, they broke into the Yushitai, it was not enough for them to wake up, they could only be used to kill their grandfather and grandson again.

"Qiyu Sage, the minister is sixty-nine years old this year, and he has been Zong Zhengqing for more than seven months!"

After Pei Tan saluted again, he reported his age and time of service.

"Aiqing is sixty-nine, but she can't take care of her old age, how can I bear to let Aiqing work so hard, Aiqing should go home and enjoy her old age in peace!"

Li Jing felt that this reason was sufficient, and he was almost seventy years old, so it was also a good arrangement for him to go home for the elderly.

"Qi Sheng, don't look at the minister is now sixty and nine, but his body is still very strong, although he can't mention that the saint can handle the government, let alone open up the territory for the saint, but the minister can still serve the saint!"

Where would Pei Tan not know, this is the excuse that the boss Li Jing plans to quarrel with him for squid, he is a lot old, and he doesn't have too many requirements!

The only thing he can't give up is being an official, he finally had the opportunity to be an official, how can he give up because of a sentence or two.

"Aiqing is old, it is really not suitable for overwork, Zongzheng Temple will be handed over to young people to take care of, you will go home to support the elderly, go and bring the ginseng paid tribute by Silla, and reward Pei Aiqing!"

Li Jing ignored Pei Tan's pleas, and directly dismissed him from his official position, considering his age, he sent him some good ginseng to make up for it, and Zong Zhengqing's position was handed over to Li Yan, a disciple of the clan.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

Hearing Li Jing's words, Pei Tan knew that his career was over, and he thanked him and withdrew.

"Pei Ning, as a writer, but when you were in the school team's books, there were so many mistakes that there were mistakes in the whole article, and you still need to study more."

"In order not to delay your studies, I decided to let you go to Guozijian to repeat your studies, and temporarily exempted you from your official position as a writer, so you can study in Guozijian with peace of mind!"

Li Jing said with a serious face, directly dismissing him from his official position on the grounds that he had not read enough and needed to return to school to study, and sent someone to send Pei Ning to Guozijian.

In addition to the three of them, even the decrees of their daughters were revoked, and this punishment must be severe.

"Yao Aiqing, do you think it's appropriate for me to deal with it like this?"

After dealing with Pei Tan and the others, Li Jing turned around and asked Yao Chong. "As long as the saint can be just, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to prosper, and the saint will also go down in history."

Yao Chong crossed his hands and saluted.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Jing directly appointed Yao Chong to preside over the revision of the law, and from then on implemented benevolent government.

After Yao Chong said goodbye and left, Li Jing issued an edict appointing Li Yan to replace Zong Zhengqing, and asked the imperial historians to try Su Heng as soon as possible.

After the trial, Su Heng was finally convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison.

Some people died, but not completely......
