Chapter 836

After Li Shimin finished reading it for Empress Changsun, he sat there silently, knowing that this matter must be dealt with, but how to deal with it is a troublesome matter. In Chang'an, many businessmen are already planning to relocate their workshops, and they dare not continue to open workshops in Chang'an City.

"It's better to let the slave handle it, he will handle it better!" Sitting there, Li Shimin said after thinking about it.

Empress Changsun didn't say anything, anyone would deal with it in the same way. They deserved to die for committing such a crime. Now that they committed it, they must be punished.

"Your Majesty is the master!" Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin nodded, and after chatting for a while, Li Shimin left.

In the early morning of the next day, many impeachment memorials were sent to Li Shimin. They impeached Zhao Guogong and Chang Sun Chong. , There is no way to teach children, and even the pregnant women of merchants are forced to death. These memorials add up to forty or fifty copies, and there are officials sending them here.

"Is that really the case? Is there any misunderstanding?" Li Shimin held the memorial, looked at Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Fang Xuanling and the others asked.

"Returning to my lord, there is probably no misunderstanding, and it may be more serious. Now those businessmen have all gone to Luoyang, and they dare not stay here in Chang'an. They said that whether they can make money is a small matter, and the key lies in Chang'an. The city will lose your life, so in the past few days, businessmen have sent their families to Luoyang, and I am slowly moving the workshop!" Li Daozong reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin heard that he was helpless, and then looked at Fang Xuanling.

"The fact is true. The most urgent task is not how to deal with them, but to catch them and appease those merchants. If there are no merchants, Chang'an City will be finished by then!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Then what are you waiting for, arrest people, and besides, why didn't you see King Jin coming to report?" Li Shimin sat there, a little dissatisfied and said.

And Li Zhi is also very busy at the moment. After hearing the news reported by his subordinates this morning, he immediately sent someone to investigate. The investigation scared him. Three lives, strictly speaking, four lives were killed by the eldest grandson. Huan and the others were forced to death. In the end, those workshops fell into their hands. This is a clear robbery!
"These bastards, do they want to die? Ah, do they want to die? Dare to make any money!" Li Zhi was so angry!

He doesn't care what will happen to Changsun Huan and the others. The key is those workshop owners and businessmen. If they all move away, what will happen to Chang'an City this year?Can I continue to serve as the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion?

At this moment, Changsun Wuji came in from the outside, saw the scattered papers on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, what happened?"

"You don't know what happened?" Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji and said angrily.

"Your Highness, how do I know this?" Changsun Wuji was also puzzled, how could he know what happened.

"You raised a good son, they forced those businessmen to death, you know, now, ministers and ministers have already impeached, some impeached big cousin, some impeached you, what do they think about this matter , didn't you tell them not to touch this?" Li Zhi asked Changsun Wuji.

"What? You've confused me!" Changsun Wuji immediately knew that something had happened when he heard him say that, but he couldn't show it. If he did, it would mean that he knew about it before of it?If he knew, wouldn't it be that Li Zhi was deliberately framed, and Li Zhi could let him go?

"You really don't know?" Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji suspiciously and asked.

"What's the matter, why did those ministers impeach me and Chong'er?" Changsun Wuji continued to look innocent, staring at Li Zhi and asked.

"Pick it up and have a look yourself. Those cousins ​​of this king have done good deeds. They even robbed the merchant's workshop and killed him. Now this king doesn't know how to explain to his father!" Li Zhi stood there and said.

And Changsun Wuji immediately picked up the paper on the ground, looked at it, and knew that the trouble was serious, now that the matter has been exposed, there is no room for redemption.

"How could this be, how could this be, they are so confused!" Changsun Wuji said with a sad face.

"Your Highness, just now Chengtian Palace sent someone to report that His Majesty summoned you to go to Chengtian Palace right away. In addition, the eldest grandson and officials are going too!" At this time, an official came in outside and said to Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji.

"Okay! I'm going right away!" Li Zhi nodded, knowing that he couldn't go.

"Uncle, let's go. This scolding may not be able to pass, but whether this hurdle can be passed is the key. If we can't convince those businessmen, who will bear the loss of Chang'an City?" Li Zhi looked at his eldest grandson Wu Ji said with a sigh.

"Damn it, they really deserve to die, how could they do such a thing?" Changsun Wuji shouted angrily.

"Uncle, let's go, go to Chengtian Palace, my father and those ministers are probably waiting for us there now!" Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji very helplessly and said.

"Go, go, they are finished now, finished!" Changsun Wuji said with a sigh at this moment.

But Li Zhi kept silent, thinking in his heart, he doesn't care if they are finished or not, but who will solve the current affairs in Chang'an City and how?

Soon, they arrived at the Chengtian Palace. When they went to the study on the fifth floor, they saw that many ministers were there, including the ministers of the six ministries and officials from the Shangshu Province. , but Wei Hao didn't come over.

"I have seen my father!" Li Zhi went over and saluted Li Shimin.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji also went over to salute and said.

"Well, wait for Shenyong and see if Shenyong will come over!" Li Shimin thought about it and said.

"Father, don't wait. If you wait for Shen Yong to come over, you don't know when it will be. Just wait for him to come and let him in at any time. If he doesn't come, Father will summon you alone!" Li Chengqian reminded Li Shimin and said.

Now that he has arrived, if Wei Hao doesn't come, it will be too troublesome. It's better to just deal with it with a smile. In addition, he doesn't want Wei Hao to participate in this matter, which will bring trouble to Wei Hao.

"Well, that's fine. Do you two already know the matter? Do you still need me to show you those materials?" Li Shimin said while sitting there, looking at Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji.

"No, my son immediately sent people to investigate after learning about this. It was very shocking. At the same time, many businessmen in Chang'an have already started to flee. This is not the way!" Li Zhi stood there shaking his head and said.

"You've been the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture for almost a month, and the result is still the same!" Li Shimin said, looking at Li Zhi dissatisfied.

"Yes, my son is wrong. My son has been trying to find a way, but I haven't found a suitable one. However, my brother-in-law said that laws can be made, but my son is not familiar with this area, and only my brother-in-law is familiar with laws, so my son-in-law I want my brother-in-law to do this!" Li Zhi said as he sat there.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was dissatisfied. Didn't Wei Hao offend others?
"Father, you know Shen Yong's character. It's still difficult to get him to come out and make laws, and Shen Yong doesn't want to take care of those things right now!" Li Chengqian immediately stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, did you hear what your elder brother said? Shen Yong probably won't care about such things anymore, you should figure out a way for yourself!" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Li Zhi and said.

"Then it's okay if the sons and ministers come to formulate laws, but they need the cooperation of the Overwatch Council. After all, they are very familiar with such matters, and they also need the cooperation of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple!" Li Zhi thought about it, and said yes Li Shimin said.

"Well, it's possible!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Sun Fujia of Dali Temple and Li Daozong of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Yes, if we need our cooperation, we will send officials who are familiar with the law!" Li Daozong nodded immediately.

"Okay!" Sun Fujia also nodded and said.

"But how should we deal with this matter?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and asked.

"Father, please make a decision. After all, they are all cousins ​​of Erchen. They just came out of the iron mine. They are not familiar with the current situation in our Tang Dynasty, so they made such a mistake. Please give me your help." They have a chance!" Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"I also hope to give those cousins ​​a chance!" Li Chengqian also stood there and said with cupped hands.

"Your Majesty, they deserve what they deserve. No matter how they are punished, it will not be excessive. I will not intercede for them. After all, they have forced someone to death. This is unforgivable. Please make a decision!" Changsun Wuji stood there at the moment, cupping his hands Said.

"Well, what does the Ministry of Punishment say?" Li Shimin immediately looked at Li Daozong and said.

"Beheading according to the law, after all, it kills people, and the influence is extremely bad. In addition, they don't have fame or official positions, so there is no way to reduce them!" Li Daozong stood up, looked at Li Shimin with his hands folded, and then said again: "However, Considering that they have just come out of the cell, they can be reduced, after all, they are not familiar with things in the capital!"

Li Daozong originally wanted to say that considering that they are the nephews of the empress empress, they can avoid death, but this sentence cannot be said. If you say it, it is tantamount to offending the empress empress and making the people of the world think that it is the empress empress who is protecting criminals. She dared not touch her nephew.
