Chapter 69: Amnesty to the World
The Ministry of War, Shangshu Mansion, and the Mansion
"The criminal Liu Hong was brought in, and the old man wanted to interrogate him personally. Yin Kaishan's face was gloomy, as if there was a sign that mountain rain was coming.
The soldiers pushed and shoved all the way, and pushed Liu Hong, who was tied up with five flowers, to the seat of Yin Kaishan.
The housekeeper of the Yin Mansion standing next to him stroked his goatee and said to everyone in the hall: "You all stand down, the master will interrogate him personally." ”
Several soldiers who escorted Liu Hong and everyone in front of the hall bowed down and retreated.
Yin Kaishan looked down with a pair of tiger eyes, and saw that Liu Hong, who was tied up with five flowers, was covered in blood and looked embarrassed, but at this time, he was also very hard, and he would rather die than kneel down to Yin Kaishan. Yin Kaishan is also a member of the army, short-tempered, and he was furious when he saw this.
"The culprit Liu Hong, why didn't he kneel when he saw the official?" Yin Kaishan pointed at Liu Hong with a horsewhip and asked sharply.
"......" Liu Hong's face at this time was like ashes, as if he had not heard of it.
Yin Kaishan suddenly became angry, rushing straight to his head!
Leaving his seat, the furious Yin Kaishan grabbed Liu Hong's scattered hair, "Bang!" An old fist slammed down on Liu Hong's face, and the bound Liu Hong couldn't dodge, and was hit to the ground by a heavy punch, and two red blood flowed down his nose.
Yin Kaishan was still angry, and then he shoved Liu Hong with his riding boots nailed with iron soles, and Liu Hong was suddenly thrown on his back, and he fell to the ground on his back. However, at this time, Liu Hongwu was stubborn, and he didn't shout for mercy or moan.
"Yin Kaishan, you... How dare you abuse lynching!" Liu Hong, who was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, finally opened his mouth, but his bloody face became more and more hideous.
"To you, a heinous and vicious thief, the old man doesn't need to be polite!" Yin Kaishan sneered.
"Today, even if the old man abuses lynching, so what?!"
After that, Yin Kaishan whipped the horsewhip in his hand fiercely, and the crisp sound of the horsewhip sounded again and again------ "Snap ------ snap ------" The crisp sound of the whip sounded again and again, and several blood marks suddenly appeared on Liu Hong's head, and the red blood flowed down the whip marks......
After whipping dozens of whips fiercely, seeing that Liu Hong below had already fainted to the ground, Yin Kaishan glanced at Liu Hong's miserable appearance of fainting with disdain, and ordered: "First detain this thief for the time being, and when the old man plays the emperor tomorrow, he will be sentenced to death." ”
The next day
Emperor Taizong convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and planned to issue an edict to amnesty the world in the name of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
Sun Yuanji, the new secretary of the ministry, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the new emperor ascends the throne and gives amnesty to the world, which is the practice of all dynasties. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's voice changed, and he said: "However, Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, Yang Jian, once defined the "Ten Felonies", namely rebellion, great rebellion, rebellion, surrender, evil rebellion, immorality, disrespect, unfilial piety, injustice, and civil strife, as the "Ten Evils" and will not be pardoned. Although this is a case from the previous dynasty, it should also be used as a reference on the occasion of His Majesty's amnesty to the world. ”
Emperor Taizong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened, stroked his beard and nodded.
"What the eldest grandson Aiqing said is reasonable. In this amnesty, I believe that no matter the severity of the previous sins, including capital crimes, they can be forgiven. But I would like to make one thing clear......"
At this time, the civil ministers and military generals in the Jinluan Palace all pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the emperor's words, not knowing what Emperor Taizong wanted to say.
Taizong Li Shimin looked at the expectant gazes of the ministers below, stroked his beard and smiled:
"What I want to say is this: In this amnesty for the world, officials who pervert the law and receive wealth are not among the pardons. ”
In the main hall, after listening to Taizong's golden mouth, the military generals suddenly realized that Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the rule of officials, and he must rectify the maladministration of the lax governance of the officials of the previous dynasty, so that the officials of the current dynasty will be clear and clear, and strive to eliminate and eliminate corrupt officials.
Listening to Taizong's words about preparing an edict to amnesty the world, Yin Kaishan's heart was a little apprehensive, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the last time Weichen was ordered to arrest Liu Hong, the thief who killed people and stole his official position. ”
"Yin Aiqing, I know what you mean, that thief Liu Hong is heinous, his crime should be punished, it should not be among my amnesty, Aiqing doesn't need to worry. Yin Aiqing, after you go back, you can deal with it according to the rules of our dynasty. Taizong knew that this big case was very involved with Yin Kaishan's daughter, and it was inconvenient to talk about it in public, so he laughed and said.
Hearing this, Yin Kaishan was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said that Emperor Taizong was really wise, not only acting according to the law, but also taking care of the feelings of me, an old minister. At that time, Yin Kaishan in the court was so respectful to Taizong Li Shimin that he threw himself to the ground.
Seeing that the ministers no longer had objections, Taizong Li Shimin officially issued an edict to amnesty the world!
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: In the first year of Zhenguan, the country and the people are safe, the four Yi come to the dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. From now on, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty granted amnesty to the world: all those who committed capital crimes were reduced to exile, and those who were guilty of exile were pardoned to show mercy. Chin!"
"The Emperor Shengming!"
At this time, the civil ministers and military generals under the court knelt on the ground together, and the mountain shouted, "Long live, long live, long live!"
After getting out of the court, Yin Kaishan was walking in front of him, and suddenly heard someone talking behind him......
"Lord Yin has always relied on the old and sold the old, relying on the old man when the emperor was diving, and often likes to teach others, saying that our family education is not strict, and conniving at the children and grandchildren to do wrong...... Who would have thought that now his own daughter has been kidnapped by thieves and taken as his wife for eighteen years, hahaha!"
The speaker sneered as he spoke.
Listening to the gloating words and laughter in the back, Yin Kaishan's heart was on fire for a while, and when he turned around and looked at it, it turned out to be no one else, but Huang Shilang, the official who had always been at odds with him, was the one who wanted to marry the Yin family back then, and the second son of his family, Huang Wenjiao.
wanted to deal with this Huang Shilang theory, Yin Kaishan thought that this was his daughter's business, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and in front of so many courtiers, it was not good to argue with Huang Shilang in person, so Yin Kaishan forcibly swallowed this evil breath, and a displeased old face snorted coldly at Huang Shilang.
"Humph!!"
Then, turn around and walk away......
Jingzhao Mansion Prison
"Bang dang!"
A crisp voice sounded, and the cell boss took a bunch of keys in his hand, opened an iron lock, and the cell door was opened.
"Li Biao, go out, go out!" the cell boss shouted.
Li Biao, who was lying on the straw mattress and was sleeping, was woken up by the cell boss shouting loudly, and slowly opened his worried eyes. There is a small iron window above the cell, and the light from the iron window** is a little dazzling, but also a little warm......
Li Biao rubbed his eyes and came to the iron fence in a bit of a daze.
"Li Biao, let's go. The cell boss shouted impatiently.
"Let's go?" Li Biao was stunned, "Where are you going?"
At this time, Li Biao's heart moved: Isn't the big incident at the Hongjiang ferry being discovered, is he going to be dragged to beheaded? !
Seeing Li Biao's stunned expression on the spot, the cell boss smiled and patted Li Biao's shoulder: "Li Biao, your hard days are over!"
"Oh, that's right..."Seeing that Li Biao still looked ignorant, the cell head arched his hands upwards and said: "Today's saint is really Hong Enqi God! Today, Emperor Taizong has just issued an edict to grant amnesty to all prisoners in the world!"
"So, Li Biao, you can go. The cell boss said.
"Huh?!"
"May I go?"
It turned out that it was not to pull himself to cut off his head, but that the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, which was to release himself!
Suddenly, Li Biao was surprised and delighted.
