Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw Zhinu's actions, and then burst out laughing.

Then lightly patted the young slave's little butt a few times.

It is true that Li Shimin's mood has improved a lot with the behavior of the childish slave.

Because of the negative emotions brought about by Li Chengqian's rebellion, it is also much better.

The next day.

early morning.

Li Shimin publicly announced Li Chengqian's rebellion last night.

Suddenly, there was an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Prince treason?"

"how can that be?"

"Isn't the prince in the barracks?"

"Why did you suddenly rebel?"

The ministers were talking.

Li Shimin ordered Li Chengqian and the others to be escorted to the main hall.

After a night of life in prison and the shock of failure, Li Chengqian looked sluggish.

The whole person is unkempt, and has long lost the demeanor of being a prince in the past.

Hou Junji and Zhang Liang didn't look very good either.

The two of them were already over middle-aged, and wanted to gamble on prosperity and wealth, but they didn't expect to lose in the end.

This time, it's all over.

Besides Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, there were also Zhang Liang's adopted sons, and some of Hou Junji's cronies.

All over the place, the entire hall was full of kneeling people.

At this moment, civil and military officials have to believe or not to believe, there is no choice at all.

"I really didn't expect Hou Junji and Zhang Liang to participate in the rebellion with the crown prince."

"That's right, not only them, but even the Changsun family got involved, which is really shocking."

Even though it was only a short sleep, earth-shaking changes took place.

And they didn't hear any movement, and no one could believe it.

Actually, it's not their fault.

Li Chengqian was preparing to attack secretly, so Hou Junji and the others led their troops to ambush outside.

Li Shimin has always been aware of their whereabouts and actions, and has already arranged everything for them.

Therefore, the two sides were black and white, and Li Shimin had no loss at all and got rid of Hou Junji and his troops.

"Li Chengqian, what else do you have to say?"

Li Chengqian cried bitterly on the ground, "Father, please forgive me. I was confused for a while, and I realized my mistake. Please forgive me this time."

At first Li Chengqian was really tough, it was because he believed that Hou Junji and Changsun Chong could succeed.

But not long after he was sent to the prison, he saw Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, and not long after that, Chang Sun Chong was also sent in.

Seeing these few people, Li Chengqian understood that this time, he had completely failed.

Failure means that he will lose his life.

It is true that his father is a Mingjun, but he is also a ruthless person. He could kill his mother and compatriots, so how could he let him go?

After a night of fear, Li Chengqian calmed down completely.

At this moment, it is not important to him to be satisfied, and the country is not important, the most important thing is to live first.

"Father, my son knows his mistake, please forgive me."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who kowtowed and begged for mercy below, frowning with displeasure.

Originally, he thought that Li Chengqian must be a man if he dared to rebel, but now it seems that he is nothing at all.

Is it really his Li Shimin's son to be so cowardly?

"what about you?"

Li Shimin raised his face and swept towards Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

At this moment, Hou Junji and the others couldn't care less about anything else.

Better to be alive than dead.

Li Shimin sneered, "Since you have the courage to rebel, why are you afraid of death?"

"What a joke!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are aware of their mistakes, please forgive me."

Li Shimin glanced at all civil and military officials, "What's your opinion, dear friends?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others dared to rebel, they should punish the Nine Clans."

"My minister agrees."

"His Royal Highness, who disregarded human relations and took the lead in rebellion, should be severely punished."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

"Your Majesty, since His Majesty the Crown Prince has already known his mistake and is His Majesty's eldest son, I believe that he can be spared the death penalty."

Fang Xuanling is Li Shimin's close minister.

He knew Li Shimin very well.

He valued Li Chengqian very much, and this love was enough for him to forgive Li Chengqian's capital crime.

Besides, which father is willing to kill his son with his own hands?
"This……"

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling, not understanding why he said such words.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he looked at Fang Xuanling, and begged, "Master Fang, help!"

Li Shimin sneered, "He dares to rebel against me, how can I tolerate him?"

"Come here, drag the crown prince, Hou Junji and others out and behead them."

"His Majesty……"

"Father!"

Li Chengqian did not expect his father to be so heartless.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Didn't you turn the death penalty into a labor camp last time? With so many Hou Junji and the others, wouldn't it be more useful than killing them if they participated in the country's construction?"

Fang Xuanling quickly stood up and said.

The reason why he pleaded is that the current national law is indeed the case, unless the person responsible for a major crime, everyone else has become a labor reform, repairing the city wall, or repairing the embankment of the reservoir.

On the other hand, being with Hou Junji was considered to be working together. He deserved it for going the wrong way, but he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Li Shimin paused, "Then send them to the frontier to build the city wall."

In fact, he also wanted to keep them alive, but he was afraid of losing face.

Now that Fang Xuanling interceded, Li Shimin borrowed the donkey from the slope to send Li Chengqian and others out.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were sure that they didn't have to die, and they couldn't help feeling grateful for the rest of their lives.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a complicated expression.

This time, Li Shimin did not pursue the responsibility of other people who were not involved.

Qin Yu told him more than once that the matter of implicating the Nine Clans was unscientific and irrational.

Li Shimin thought about it and felt it made sense.

Take the matter of Gao Ming as an example, if he is really Zhu Lian Jiu Clan, then he, the father, will definitely bear the brunt of it.

As for Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, only they and their cronies were involved in this matter, and the other offshoot families didn't know about it at all.

It would be inappropriate for him to kill the Nine Clans.

Li Shimin decided to cancel the punishment of Zhulian Jiuzu.

But at this time, he did not say.

The node at this time is wrong.

Li Chengqian and others were assigned.

All participants participated in (prison) education reform.

But these people are different from other people. Their labor can reduce their sentences, but they cannot get out of prison.

This is Li Shimin's greatest kindness to them.

Laifu Restaurant.

Qin Yu continued to speak his script.

In a story of Journey to the West every day, time passes slowly.

The people of Chang'an City also ushered in the spring through Qin Yu's day-to-day porridge relief.
