Chapter 135: The Decisive Decision of the Gate Valve
I called Li Ke this time, I don't know what Li Shimin meant, anyway, I finally asked Li Ke a question, as if asking him how he felt.
But until he left, Li Shimin didn't talk about other things, maybe he just gave the courtiers an opinion?
When Li Ke came out, he also didn't figure it out, his father, it was not so easy to understand, and what Li Ke could guess was just some of his daily behaviors, but Li Ke was difficult to guess about Li Shimin's affairs about the court and politics, because what Li Shimin saw in that position was not seen by ordinary people.
But in any case, having come to this point, man must die.
However, what Li Ke didn't expect was that the gate valve was much more decisive than he imagined, and seven days after the Zheng family, who was responsible for the printing of the Datang Weekly, was arrested, the Zheng family in Xingyang issued a statement to the outside world, the Zheng family had no monarch and no father, ignored the laws of the imperial court, violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zheng family in Xingyang expelled him from the clan in the fourth room of the Northern Ancestor! It is no longer recognized as Xingyang Zheng.
And in order to express his apology to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the Zheng family of Xingyang is willing to compensate His Royal Highness the King of Shu with 2 million guan!
Tsk, when he knew the news, Li Ke had to sigh at the wealth of these gate valve families, and they opened their mouths to be two million yuan, and this was nothing at all. Li Ke suddenly thought of a historical record he saw in his previous life, saying that the Zhen family where Zhen Mi was located during the Three Kingdoms period was the first of the five wealthy merchants in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was said that he could easily take out three billion dollars!
It was the Three Kingdoms period! None of them were at the peak of the Han Dynasty.
It seems that 3 billion dollars is only 3 million yuan converted to Datang, but how long have they been accumulating? And how long have these gate valve families that have been handed down to Datang accumulated?
Millennial family ...... Not kidding, really.
Moreover, this money has been lost, and you have to calculate Li Ke, what do you mean by paying Li Ke this money? This money should be to apologize for the sins of the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, you paid me Li Ke? Isn't this deliberately roasting Li Ke on the fire?
What's up? I'm missing those two million? Isn't this money back in minutes?
However, if someone sends money, of course Li Ke will not refuse.
When the person in charge of the first room of the Zheng family's Beizu came to the door to express this meaning, Li Ke accepted it! Of course, Li Ke understands that this is to stone Li Ke with money, but they are destined to make a mistake.
Li Shimin only gave ten days, in fact, it didn't take ten days at all, about the eighth day, many things have been investigated, I didn't check it before because no one sued, but now when they fell, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, the trees fell and the macaques scattered, and the door of the Zheng family in Xingyang was completely down, and the people who sued them were naturally incomparably large.
Many people spontaneously stood up, and Wu Hou didn't need to investigate anything.
As for those things with Hongwenkan, it doesn't make sense for the Zheng family to admit it, or whether they admit it or not, and the result is the same.
After the results were reported to Li Shimin, Li Shimin directly issued a holy decree, and the core content of it was four words: copy and behead all the doors, and it will be executed in the West Market three days later.
After letting people write the holy decree, some people wanted to ask for mercy, but in the end they all held back, this matter, to put it seriously, is comparable to a rebellion, no three clans are considered light, do you really think Li Shimin will not dare to kill?
But what no one knew was that after the holy decree was issued, Li Shimin instructed Chang Lin: "Go, copy a copy of the content of the holy decree for Li Ke, and show him the list." ”
Chang Lin was stunned for a moment, he shouldn't have asked, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”
"Why don't you care, remember, don't care what he does after reading it, it's up to him to do anything, and I won't see him before Zheng's question." Li Shimin said lightly.
"Yes......." Chang Lin didn't dare to continue asking, and instead went to carry out the order.
When Li Ke received the holy decree sent by Chang Lin, he had some doubts, but when he heard the backup of the holy decree sent to him by his father, Li Ke naturally opened it and read it, the holy decree was not only committed by the Zheng family, but also contained a list of executions, and when Li Ke read the list, he was stunned.
"What's going on with this list?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin and asked with a serious face.
"Your Majesty's handwriting." Chang Lin replied with four words.
"Datang Law, the death penalty for children under seven years old is not killed, why is there even a baby who has just completed the month." Li Ke asked in a deep voice. That's right, Datang has a law on the protection of minors, although this is not called that, but the current Tang law stipulates that if a person under the age of seven commits the death penalty, he will not be killed, and women will basically not be killed because of population problems. Of course, the women's side is not absolute, depending on the severity of the crime.
This is the Tang law during the Zhenguan period, with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang law will be gradually improved, and the Tang law of the later dynasties will gradually take the age of fifteen as the standard here, divided into three stages, and it can even be said that the juvenile protection law of later generations may have been handed down since ancient times.
The Zheng family has two children under the age of seven, a boy and a woman, and they are both babies.
"Your Majesty's words are the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Chang Lin's face was calm.
"I want to see my father." Li Ke stood up directly, he didn't care about Zheng's death, when Li Shimin asked him, he said Tang law because he knew that there were these laws.
But Li Shimin did not follow Tang Law at all, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Ke.
"Your Majesty said that Zheng didn't see it before he asked for it." Chang Lin replied very simply.
Missing? Li Ke frowned, Li Shimin said no, that is really not seen, unless Li Ke leads the army to break through, but that nature is not a nature, besides, how many people is he? Can you break into the palace?
Chang Lin didn't leave, just stood aside, as if Li Ke's decision was made.
Li Ke has a headache, Li Shimin is playing his son again, he has liked this since he was a child, but he has always played like this to his eldest brother, anyway, I do one thing, you guess by yourself, make your own decisions, I don't care if it's right or wrong.
There is no reward for doing it right, that is what you should do as a prince, and if you do it wrong, there is a punishment, which is what you should bear as a prince.
So Li Chengqian was miserable.
This trick didn't work for Li Ke, Li Ke hadn't played cards according to common sense since he was a child, but now it's different. This matter is closely related to Li Ke, and it is impossible for him to ignore it.
Li Ke never felt that he was a virgin, but he had his own bottom line.
"This is the result of the triage of the three divisions?" Li Ke asked, there is the eldest grandson Wuji in the third division.
"Yes! There is no doubt about the triage of the three divisions. Chang Lin's face was calm.
Paralysis! Li Ke wanted to scold, but he didn't know why, he suddenly felt another side of ancient times.
"What if I'm going to Dali Temple Prison?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin and asked.
"Your Highness is at will." Chang Lin owed slightly.
"Tian Meng."
"Yes."
"Tell Yang Anning and Yang Li to change their clothes, wear robes, and follow me." Li Ke said as he looked at Chang Lin.
However, Chang Lin, who has been with Li Shimin for so many years, how could he let Li Ke see it in terms of controlling his emotions and expressions.
After the tea was done, the two girls finished changing their clothes, and Li Ke took them directly to Dali Temple Prison.
