Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1166 Excusing

After thinking about it carefully, everyone is still a little puzzled, since the firearm was stolen?Doesn't that mean that Su Cheng is responsible?
However, thinking of Su Cheng's great service in protecting the palace last night, it seems inappropriate to stand up and accuse Su Cheng at this time.

However, some people didn't care. Wei Zheng came out and said in a deep voice, "Firearms are the most important weapons in the country. How could they be stolen? Duke Rong is in charge of the Firearms Supervisor..."

Before Wei Zheng finished speaking, the emperor said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter about Su Cheng, the prince's rebellion was premeditated, and the firearms were stolen last year. At that time, Su Cheng accompanied Su Cheng on the expedition, and Su Cheng found it after he came back. The firearm was stolen, so Du He was found."

"The most important thing now is how the crown prince, Hou Junji and others should deal with it. You might as well discuss it!"

Does this still need to be discussed?Chu Suiliang immediately came out, and said in a deep voice: "The prince, Hou Junji and others launched a mutiny, and the rebellion is undoubted. According to the law, Hou Junji and others should be executed, and the prince should be sentenced to death!"

Conspiracy is a capital crime, not to mention the ministers in the court, even the common people in the market know it.

So after Chu Suiliang finished speaking, no one in the hall had any objections.

Even the civil servants who originally took refuge in the prince did not have any objections. They did not expect the prince to rebel against him. If they knew, they would definitely stay away from the prince.

At this moment, in order to separate themselves from the crown prince, they all came out to agree with Chu Suiliang's words.

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Auxiliary machine, what do you think?"

The eldest grandson Wuji came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the state owns the state law, and treason is a capital crime. It is an unforgivable crime. To warn future generations, to uphold discipline, and to clarify the law, Hou Junji and others should be executed, and the crown prince should also be executed." It should be given to death!"

Li Shimin sighed: "As the saying goes, the poison of a tiger does not eat its son. Although the crown prince seeks rebellion, he is my son after all. How can I bear it!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "I also know that Your Majesty is very sad, but the crime of treason is unforgivable, for justice, for the warning of the world, for the sake of the country, the crown prince should die!"

No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty interceded for Li Chengqian, and all the ministers were either silent or insisted on granting Li Chengqian death.

Not to mention that Li Chengqian is not worthy of sympathy, and there is no grievance in being given death, who dares to intercede for Li Chengqian?

Now the emperor feels sorry for his son, but when the emperor thinks about it later, whoever intercedes for the prince, wouldn't the emperor think that he is the accomplice of the prince's rebellion?
Therefore, whether it was the ministers who took refuge in the prince, the ministers who took refuge in the king of Wei, or the neutral ministers, they all requested the execution of the prince.

Su Cheng came out and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have objections!"

Although Li Chengqian's rebellion dealt a great blow to Li Shimin, Li Shimin still couldn't bear to execute his most important eldest son. He still couldn't make a decision after thinking about it all night in Liangyi Hall.

However, all the important officials in the early court wanted to execute Li Chengqian. Now that Su Cheng had objections, Li Shimin was heartbroken. He quickly said, "Su Cheng, what objections do you have?"

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "Conspiracy is indeed an unforgivable crime, but I feel that the crown prince should not be sentenced to death. The crown prince has acted too much in the past year, and he has fallen into a magic barrier. In addition, there are villains around him who instigate him, so he embarked on this road." No way back."

"Now the prince must regret it very much. Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence. If you don't even let your own son be spared, how can you call it benevolence?"

All the ministers in the hall were very confused. They never thought that Su Cheng would jump out to intercede for Li Chengqian.

They felt that everyone in the hall could intercede for Li Chengqian, but Su Chengyou could intercede for Li Chengqian.

After all, it was Su Cheng who thwarted Li Chengqian's plot for rebellion, and it was Su Cheng who single-handedly threw Li Chengqian into prison.

Now, Su Cheng jumped out to intercede for Li Chengqian again.

They wanted to ask Su Cheng loudly, what are you going to do?

But then again, only Su Cheng and Chai Shao interceded for Li Chengqian in this hall and would not be suspected of being Li Chengqian's accomplices.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others were dumbfounded after hearing Su Cheng's words, and they frequently winked at Su Cheng.

They thought that Su Cheng must be stupid, what happened at this time?Anyway, Su Cheng's credit has already been obtained, so he can just stand by and watch at this time, it doesn't matter whether Li Chengqian is alive or dead.

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, Wei Zheng immediately said in a deep voice: "Mr. Rong's words are wrong. The crown prince committed the crime of treason and cannot be forgiven just because of regret. If it starts, does Mr. Rong know what will happen in the future?" ?”

"There will be more people rebelling, because they will feel that even if they fail, they only need to say regret and there is no fear of their lives."

Kong Yingda said in a deep voice: "Master Wei said that the crime of treason is unforgivable, especially the prince's treason, because His Majesty is not only a king or a father to the prince, the prince wants to kill the king and his father, there is no reason for that." How can human nature be forgiven?"

Su Cheng listened and murmured: "Although the prince is rebellious, we don't know whether he has the intention of killing the king and his father. According to the opinion of the minister, it is better to have a trial. If the prince really has the intention of killing the king and his father, then naturally The crime is unforgivable, if the prince just wants to mutiny and force His Majesty to abdicate, then I feel that the prince can be dealt with lightly."

Li Shimin had always been unable to make a decision in his heart, but his eyes lit up when he heard Su Cheng's words. He felt that Su Cheng had said what was in his heart.

At the beginning, he also launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, but he didn't kill the king and his father. What about Li Chengqian?

Li Shimin nodded and said: "What Su Cheng said is reasonable, we still have to have a trial. If the crown prince still cares about the relationship between father and son, then I should also care about the relationship between father and son and spare his life. If the crown prince ignores the relationship between father and son and wants to kill the king Father, then there is no father-son relationship between me and the crown prince!"

All the ministers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, they didn't know what to say when it came to this point.

After all, His Majesty also launched a coup at the beginning but did not kill the king and father. If they want to say something, they must always be cautious about this, otherwise they will anger His Majesty.

Even if the Prince's mutiny is just to force His Majesty to abdicate, it is still an unforgivable crime!Who dares to say such a thing?

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "But how can we find out the truth?"

All the ministers couldn't help but nod their heads, and this is where the problem arises.

How to tell if the prince has any plans to kill the king and his father?

Is it up to the prince to say it?

As long as the prince didn't hurt his brain during the disease, he would never admit that he had the intention of killing the king and his father!

Therefore, in their view, no matter how they interrogate, they are justifying the crown prince!
It's just that they still don't understand why Su Cheng excused the prince?
For a long time, Su Cheng kept a distance from the prince, and everyone in the government and the public knew about it.
