Datang Nongwang

Chapter 673
plead guilty.

Please what crime.

Are you guilty?
Maybe, maybe not.

However, after the old lady spoke, Li Chongyuan really had to go.

If the old lady is really angry, Li Chongyuan will be a sinner of the Li family. At that time, this crime will probably have to kneel from outside Chang'an city to inside Chang'an city.

Li Chongyuan came out of the old lady's room, but the housekeeper came up to welcome him and said, "Young Lord, don't worry. Some time ago, the Supreme Emperor went to the court to ask me about my clan being murdered. The responsibility is gone. Thinking about it, the Holy Majesty and all the ministers should know the importance of this matter in their hearts. Xiao Lang, you should follow the old lady's instructions and go to the palace to ask the Holy Majesty for a sin. It should not be a big deal. "

"Yes, fourth brother, you should go into the palace and ask the Holy Majesty for a crime. I don't believe it anymore, the Holy Majesty will disregard the face of the Supreme Emperor and blame you." Brother Li Chongji and the others also came out of the house, Among them, Li Chongxuan said first.

On the other hand, Li Chongji's face was more worried, but he didn't speak to comfort Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan saw another possibility from Li Chongji's face.

Li Chongji, the eldest brother, has always been a bystander above the court.

Although he participated in every court meeting, he, who participated in the small court meeting, was not qualified to discuss affairs and politics because of his lack of grade. He could only be a bystander or an observer.

Therefore, Li Chongji should be the clearest about what's going on in the court.

But Li Chongji's face was worried at the moment, and he knew what was going on in the court at a glance, and it was definitely not a good result.

After Li Chongyuan glanced at his elder brothers, he smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. What I am worried about now is Auntie. It is my fault that Auntie has been hit by this blow. I will bear all the crimes that the court wants to punish me. At worst, the governor of Yangzhou will quit, and the title of Xixiang County King will be cut off. Could it be that the court officials above the court can still punish me? I can't cut off my head."

"Fourth brother, don't stress too much. My mother has woken up now, and Doctor Zhang also said that as long as my mother is in a better mood, she will definitely get better. As you saw just now, my mother's complexion is better than that of a coma. It will be much better, and with some soup and medicine, mother will definitely recover. Therefore, as long as the doctor Zhang is here with mother, you can rest assured. But the eldest brother thinks that you should go to Li Zhuang first for your affairs Please ask the Supreme Emperor for instructions, after all, your matter is really big, only the Supreme Emperor can support you." Li Chongji knew about the decision made by the court towards Li Chongyuan in the recent period.

But he is not blunt, nor is it easy to speak bluntly.

Although, during this period of time, the court has been discussing the case of the Qi family being exterminated.

Up to now, Li Shimin has not said how to deal with Li Chongyuan's crime.

after all.

In the case of the arrest of the Qi family, there was no evidence pointing to Li Chongyuan's actions, and it was just speculation in the minds of the ministers.

If Li Chongyuan did not plead guilty, then the case of the Qi family being wiped out could only be investigated by the supervisory censor who was sent down.

As for whether anything can be found out, I don't know.

After Li Chongyuan heard the words, he looked at the old lady's room, nodded to his elder brothers and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I will leave it to you, aunt. You should also comfort aunt, don't Let A Niang pass out again. Otherwise, even if Zhang Wenli has good acupuncture skills, it’s probably fine. A Niang should let Zhang Wenli make a good diagnosis and treatment, so let’s stop thinking about it. I’ll go to Lizhuang in a while Ask the Supreme Emperor to see how this matter will end."

The old lady woke up and looked better.

For this reason, Li Chongyuan doesn't have to worry too much.

Moreover, with Zhang Wenli, Li Chongyuan still believed in Zhang Wenli's medical skills.

Although when he was in Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan always wanted to attack Zhang Wenli from time to time, saying that Zhang Wenli's medical skills were that of a barefoot doctor.

But that was just a joke.

Li Yuan has been in Lizhuang for so many years, and he must have some illnesses and other things.

If Zhang Wenli's medical skills were not good, then Li Yuan would have been taken back to the palace by Li Shimin long ago, why would Li Yuan be allowed to live in Lizhuang all the time.

and.

Just before that, Li Chongyuan heard from Li Chongji that Li Yuan fell ill, although he was not fully recovered.

Li Chongyuan rushed back from Xisha Island, if he didn't go to greet Li Yuan immediately, it would be unreasonable.

after all.

Li Yuan took good care of him, Li Chongyuan, and Li Yuan was also Li Chongyuan's reliance.

If Li Yuan collapsed and the old lady fell ill again, there really are not many people who can help him with Li Chongyuan's matter.

Most of the military commanders and most of the Li clan's relatives will definitely speak for Li Chongyuan, but these people really can't compete with those civil officials.

As far as Fang Xuanling is in Li Shimin's heart, that is a hurdle, whether it is a military general or a member of Li's clan, it is really difficult to jump over this hurdle.

After staying at Li Chongyuan's family for half an hour, after asking about Zhang Wenli who came out of the house after the diagnosis, Li Chongyuan's heart eased a little after he got a reassuring statement, "Old Zhang, I don't have much else to say. Said, I will leave Aniang's illness to you. If you don't help me cure Aniang's illness, don't blame me for my friendship with you. "

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry. Although the old lady's illness is mainly caused by heart disease, now that you have come back, the old lady's mood is much more comfortable. It can be seen that with you here, the old lady's illness has mostly recovered. "Zhang Wenli knew that what Li Chongyuan said was a joke, so he didn't fight back like he did in Li Zhuang, but gave Li Chongyuan a heavy nod.

After getting Zhang Wenli's nod, Li Chongyuan went to the house to look at the old lady again, and then left the inner courtyard of the family.

And the little servant who had been waiting at the house saw Li Chongyuan finally come out from the inner courtyard, went up to meet him and said anxiously: "Your Majesty Li, I know that Mrs. Xiangjun is seriously ill, but the Holy Majesty's order is to let him As soon as Junwang Li returns to the capital, he will go to the palace to face the saint, so please hurry up and follow the servants to the palace to face the saint."

"No hurry. I still have to go and ask the Supreme Emperor to say hello, and then I will go into the palace with you." Of course Li Chongyuan was not in a hurry.

Hurry up.

There is a saying that when a person dies, a bird turns to the sky.

It's all at this juncture, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

If it doesn't work, start over from scratch.

After the little servant heard the words, his expression was helpless.

Persuasion, that is inevitable.

But if Li Chongyuan didn't follow him into the palace, there was nothing he could do.

In the end, the little servant could only follow Li Chongyuan to Lizhuang, and continue to wait for Li Chongyuan to ask the Supreme Emperor for peace before following him into the palace to face the saint.

In Li Zhuang's small courtyard.

Li Chongyuan invited An, but Jin's servant sent two imperial physicians away and let the small courtyard out so that Li Chongyuan could talk to Li Yuan.

The imperial physician is not one of his own, but just two outsiders.

There are some words that others cannot listen to.

Sitting on the deck chair, Li Yuan looked at Li Chongyuan in front of him, with a look of relief on his face, "I've grown up, I've grown taller, and I've become a governor. But you are too impatient, and The means are also too harsh. Although the sharp angles of young people are sharp, but in the officialdom, the sharp angles have to be rounded, otherwise, they will hurt others and themselves."

"My uncle taught me the lesson. My grandnephew didn't think too much about it at the time. He only wanted to avenge his family. As for the consequences, his grandnephew alone took care of it. After all, the Xiang family once sacrificed thousands of people for my uncle and my country of Tang. If the grandnephew doesn't help or protect him, then the grandnephew will be in vain." With Li Chongyuan's words, Li Yuan looked at him differently.

but.

What Li Chongyuan said was just an excuse.

It's not that Li Chongyuan doesn't care about his official position, nor does he care about his title.

Lifting Xiang's family to a high position, Li Chongyuan believed that Li Yuan would protect him no matter what.

Again.

What Li Chongyuan said was not false.

then.

If there were no members of the Xiang clan, Li Yuan's bones would have been cold for a long time. Where would he still be Li Yuan? Maybe it's not even known whether the Tang Congress will be established.

Members of the Xiang clan have made great contributions to Li Yuan and Tang.

Thousands of members of the Xiang clan followed Li Yuan's army, and at the end of the fight, there were less than 500 people left.

although.

There are still two to three thousand members of the Xiang clan in the Xiang family's garrison, and they are just the sons of the Xiang family who grew up later.

After talking for a long time, Li Yuan also asked about the general situation of Jimo Qi's family being destroyed.

Standing up suddenly, he said, "If that's the case, then Uncle will accompany you back to Chang'an to lie down."

"Uncle, this can't be done. You haven't fully healed yet. Uncle, you have to go back to Chang'an in person for your nephew's affairs. Your grandnephew can't afford this responsibility." Li Chongyuan pretended to stop him.

in fact.

Li Chongyuan's purpose is to hope that Li Yuan will accompany him into the palace.

At least, with this great god standing behind him, whether it's Li Shimin or the ministers, it's impossible to kill Li Chongyuan ruthlessly.

Li Yuan smiled faintly, without speaking, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Li Chongyuan quickly supported Li Yuan.

More than an hour later.

The carriage came to the gate of the palace city, Li Yuan sat in the carriage, and softly ordered to the little servant outside: "You go and inform the civil and military officials of the station to go to court."

The little servant was at a loss when he heard Li Yuan's words.

He is not qualified to notify all civil and military officials to go to court.

After hesitating, the little servant had no choice but to rush into the palace to report.

Shortly after.

After Li Shimin in the palace heard the news, he rushed out to welcome Li Yuan into the palace.

Not long after, at Li Yuan's insistence, Li Shimin sent someone to notify all the civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above to come to court.

Li Yuan sat under the throne, and Li Shimin stood beside the throne.

The civil and military ministers who were notified to come to attend the interim court meeting saw that Li Chongyuan had returned and that Li Yuan was coming to the court again, so they could guess that Li Chongyuan must have been invited to come to the court for Li Yuan's visit.

topic.

Naturally, it was the case of the Qi family being exterminated.

When the topic started, Li Chongyuan took the initiative to stand up and confessed in front of everyone in the court: "Qi Feng, the eldest son of the Qi family, is still in my hands. He is not dead, but he is disabled. Anyone who harmed Xiang's family, I, Li Chongyuan, will never let him go. The destruction of the Qi family was also arranged by me, Li Chongyuan. I, Li Chongyuan, have never caused trouble, but I have never been afraid of trouble, and I am not afraid of trouble. The Qi family's destruction is all up to me Li Chongyuan is responsible for it alone."

Li Chongyuan took the initiative to stand up and admit that he was responsible for the destruction of the Qi family. This is just like the controversy in the court during this period, which finally came to the ground.

Following Li Chongyuan's voluntary admission, the civil servants began to denounce Li Chongyuan.

Fang Xuanling is still the main one.

"Your Majesty, since Li Chongyuan has admitted this matter, the case can be settled. However, Li Chongyuan is the king of Xixiang County and the governor of Yangzhou. He ignored the laws and regulations of our dynasty and privately slaughtered the Qi family. I only saw it in my court. The subordinates believe that the punishment for Li Chongyuan should be dismissed from his official position, his title should be cut, and he should be sent to the frontier for three thousand miles." Seeing that Li Chongyuan had confessed his crime, Fang Xuanling directly wanted to beat Li Chongyuan die.

The Fang family suffered a loss at the hands of Li Chongyuan, and it would be the best if they could get it back this time.

And the other civil servants, of course, hoped that Li Chongyuan would be punished as he should.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who has never spoken, has been looking at Li Yuan and his son.

He really wanted to talk, but Li Yuan kept staring at these ministers, which made it difficult for him to stand up and make trouble.

There is no dispute.

No rowdy either.

Li Chongyuan didn't want to argue, let alone quarrel.

but.

Although Fang Xuanling's blow to Li Chongyuan was severe, Li Chongyuan was not unprepared.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan took out the evidence he had already prepared from his pocket, "Your Majesty, this is something that I sent people to Jimo to find out. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty and all the ministers."

As soon as Li Chongyuan's evidence was brought out, Li Shimin and all court officials circulated it one after another, they were all shocked beyond measure.

As soon as the Qi family's criminal evidence came out, the controversy began.

The generals fired at the civil officials, and the civil officials fired at Li Chongyuan's crimes.

It wasn't until Li Yuan snorted heavily that the controversy stopped.

After more than an hour, Li Chongyuan helped Li Yuan out of the palace with a happy face.

It can be seen from Li Chongyuan's face that today's trip to the palace is a good result.

just now.

Li Shimin announced at that time.

Li Chongyuan was removed from the post of governor of Yangzhou, and transferred to Suzhou to join the army as a recorder.

For Li Chongyuan, this was already the best result for Li Chongyuan, who was downgraded from the fourth rank to the lower rank of the magistrate.

And Li Chongyuan's title of king of Xixiang county was also reduced to Duke of Xixiang county.

From the first-rank Duke of the County to the second-rank Youxian Duke.

This matter, Li Chongyuan also felt that it was a good result.

It was the best result that he didn't lower his title from the top to the bottom and become a county man.

As for Li Chongyuan's other official positions, they have not been moved.

Whether it's the envoy of Dushui or something else, they are still hanging on Li Chongyuan's head.

and.

He Li Chongyuan also joined the army as a recorder in Suzhou, which made Li Chongyuan even more happy and delighted.

Perhaps, this is the best result he got when Li Chongyuan pulled Li Yuan to court.
