Chapter 654: Persuasion

Li Shen's words made Li Chengqian stunned,

And when Li Shen said the second one, Li Shimin's eyelids also jumped twice.

In fact, Li Shen didn't say anything about the third article, and Zhang Liang's conversation with Fang Shi showed that Zhang Liang had a heart of disobedience.

Based on this, Zhang Liang is a capital crime.

"Gao Ming, can you hear clearly? If I want to kill him, it's not a vain killing, Zhang Liang already has a heart of disobedience. Li Shimin said Li Shen's third point.

"But Aya, Zhang Liang is also a founding minister, and now he is about to kill Zhang Liang with just a slight suspicion, which is a bit unkind.

Er begged Aya to spare Zhang Liang's life, deprive him of his title, demote him to a concubine, and let him live for a long time. Li Chengqian pleaded.

Li Shimin smiled and didn't speak, he knew that Li Shen had come back all the way, and it was impossible for him to agree to kill Zhang Liang.

He knows this rebel too well, there must be a trick, his eldest brother got him back, how could he dismantle the prince.

He just looked at Li Shen like this, meaning please start your performance.

Li Shen originally thought that there was a person who could help him hold a handful, but who knew that his father would not be able to play it at all.

So there was no choice but to say directly:

"Big brother, don't worry, the younger brother still has something to say.

Zhang Liang is indeed innocent, but Ayeer feels that there are many strange things here. ”

"Strange?" Li Shimin was stunned. He thought Li Shen could say something.

"Aya, Liu Xun's case has just ended, how long has it been, and someone has sued Zhang Liang again, Aye, I asked on the way back,

The person who reported it was called Chang Dexuan, and Wang Xuance didn't know where this Chang Dexuan was sacred, and why he dared to report Zhang Liang.

Aye, if you think about it, Chang Dexuan is just an amateur, how dare he dare to report Yun Guogong and the book of the Criminal Department?

Doesn't Aya feel weird?

Zhang Liang is clothed, he can't write or fight, but he can be in a high position, which shows that Zhang Liang still has merit.

And I've heard that wherever he has been, he has been very well governed.

In particular, wherever he went, he was able to suppress the powerful forces in the localities, so that the prefectures and counties could be stabilized and the common people could live and work in peace and contentment.

Everywhere he went, he could find out which people were harming the village, and which people were doing evil and oppressing the people.

He can find them all and catch them all.

Some of the people of Aya think that Zhang Liang is like a god, but they think that this must have something to do with his acceptance of a righteous son.

Otherwise, how can you master a place? ”

Li Shen said a lot, and pondered what Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had said.

Li Shen's words are not nonsense, they are all justified, in fact, Zhang Liang's adopted son is five hundred, how could Li Shimin not know.

It's just that Li Shimin hasn't said anything.

Li Shimin wasn't thinking about Zhang Liang, he was thinking about what Li Shen said,

Liu Xun has just been falsely accused, and now it is Zhang Liang's turn, Zhang Liang's sin is actually big or small.

He is just angry these days, because Zhang Liang asked Gongsun Chang a sentence; I have a concubine, and the fortune teller says that she will definitely become a princess.

This is obviously a big rebellious sentence, his concubine is Wang Ji, so isn't he Zhang Liang just going to be the emperor?

But now that I think about it, although this sentence is very contradictory, it is not known whether it is true or false.

The person who reported it, Chang Dexuan, was indeed a nobody, how could he dare to report a national duke.

Li Shen saw the change in Li Shimin's face and guessed that there was a play, and took the opportunity to continue:

"Aye, I don't think it matters whether Zhang Liang rebels or not, he already has a heart of disobedience.

But no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a founding hero, Aya might as well spare his life, remove his title, and let him live for the rest of his life.

Besides, the eldest brother has been the prince for so many years, and it is the first time he has his own opinions, and it is also the first time he has interceded with Aya.

Er thinks Aya should give his eldest brother this face. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, and it was true that Li Chengqian had never disobeyed him over the years.

This is the first time that Li Chengqian has his own thoughts, and after thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded.

Whether to kill Zhang Liang or not is actually not a big deal.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian:

"Gao Ming, what do you think about this?"

Li Chengqian sorted out his thoughts, he knew that his answer was very important,

"Qi Yu Aya, Zhang Liang has always been loyal to Aya, regarded as a confidant, under the coercion and temptation of Prince Yin, Zhang Liang never betrayed Aya,

Why did he say that he wanted to rebel now?

Besides, Aya treats him well, but he can be in a high position with mediocre qualifications, high-ranking officials, fine clothes and food,

Was there any injustice to him, and what was his purpose in rebellion?

Therefore, he felt that this matter was purely imaginary, and Zhang Liang did not have the strength to rebel. ”

Li Shimin nodded after listening to the prince's words. He agrees with Li Chengqian's analysis, and there is indeed something strange in this.

Since the prince wants to save Zhang Liang's life, let's follow the prince's wishes, so he nodded and said:

"Well, if you think so, then according to your wishes, spare his life, remove his title, and demote him to a commoner."

"Thank you, Ayeche." Li Chengqian thanked him happily.

"Thank you Aya, in fact, I think that the eldest brother saved Zhang Liang, maybe he can use it in the future." Li Shen also said.

"That's the smart thing in the future, and I can't control it."

Everything is over, Li Chengqian and Li Shen withdrew from the Liangyi Palace,

Li Chengqian patted Li Shen on the shoulder and said:

"Tenth brother, thank you."

"Haha, what is the eldest brother talking about, we are brothers, this time Zhang Liang escaped death, he must be grateful to the eldest brother,

Coupled with his son Zhang Yi, the eldest brother will also have two more available people in the future. Li Shen laughed.

"Zhang Yi is available, but Zhang Liang will talk about it later, he is indeed a little shady." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"That's your business, big brother, it's over here, I'm going back to the northwest.

Big brother, let's go to the prison to see Zhang Liang first, we have to let him know that the eldest brother saved him, otherwise this favor will not be saved in vain. ”

After Li Shen finished speaking, Li Chengqian nodded, and the two went to the prison of the Criminal Department together.

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I have no two hearts. Cure them against me. ”

As soon as the two of them went down to the prison of the Criminal Department, they heard Zhang Liang shouting inside,

Zhang Liang saw Li Chengqian and Li Shen as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and shouted:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, save the old minister, the old minister has no intention of rebelling, the old minister is loyal to His Majesty."

At this moment, Zhang Liang no longer has the vigor he usually has, and he has been locked up here for so many days, suffering both physically and psychologically.

He didn't know when he would be found guilty and executed.

Under the double torture, the person was visibly thinned twice, with a full beard and unkempt hair.

In the past few days in prison, he began to reflect on the past, and many things he regretted.

He should have told His Majesty about recruiting his son, and he should stop his wife, the secret letter warlock, and he should not be so pampered.

I regret not being at the beginning.

(For the sake of this Chang Dexuan, I consulted a lot of information, but there is no record of this person, and only about Zhang Liang's unjust death did he mention this name.)

Tongdian, there is no information about this person in the old and new Tang books, only that he is from Shaanzhou

It stands to reason that he should be rewarded for reporting Zhang Liang's rebellion, or be added to the knighthood, but there is no record of the reward.

And it is true that it was Zhang Liang's turn only three months after Liu Xun's unjust death, and behind history are unknown truths.

Personally, I think Zhang Liang died unjustly, when Li Yuanji framed Zhang Liang in prison, tortured, coerced and lured, wanted to get Li Shimin's incriminating evidence, and put Li Shimin to death.

After Zhang Liang entered the prison, he didn't say a word, and forced himself over. It can be seen that he is loyal to Li Shimin. )
