Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 902 After the dust settles on the big case
He naturally knew the meaning of meaning, and also knew the meaning of usefulness, but he couldn't figure out what happened at the Great Court Meeting.What is the purpose of making the ministers quarrel with the matter that the father has already decided, purely for fun?
Impossible, his father is not that boring.After thinking and thinking, he still couldn't answer this question with the current experience and experience, so he could only say helplessly: "Father, my son is dull and can't figure it out. Please tell me clearly."

Li Zhiyun didn't let him think for himself this time, but instead asked: "Zhaoer, think about it, if I didn't bring this matter up for discussion at the Great Court Meeting, but directly make a decision, How do you think the officials will react?"

What's the reaction?
Li Chengzhao thought for a while and said: "In this case, the officials may think that the father is arbitrary and cannot accept the opinions of the officials."

"Not bad." Li Zhiyun asked again: "What about now?"

"Now?"

Li Chengzhao was taken aback for a while, then seemed to understand something, and thoughtfully said: "Although the father has made a decision, but this time, allowing all the officials to discuss at the court meeting will make all the officials think that the father respects their wishes and makes a decision. The decision was influenced by them."

Li Zhiyun smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and have a good rest, and when those criminals are beheaded in a few days, you can also go and have a look."

After speaking, Li Zhiyun started to leave, and Li Chengzhao naturally sent his father off respectfully.

"I see."

He understood a bit. In fact, the discussions at the court meeting were not important at all. What was important was that the emperor had to go through this process and make a statement to show respect for the officials.Similarly, this is also to make the officials think that the father is not an arbitrary person.

Even if the smart people clearly know that this is a cutscene, they still have to cooperate, because this is something they cannot refuse.If you don't cooperate with the emperor, then next time who knows if the emperor will get angry because of this and completely abandon the rules of discussing important matters in the court.

The meaning is not important, what matters is whether it is useful or not.Even if this is not very useful, you still have to go through it again, this is very important.Thinking of this, he remembered some things about the history of the Han Dynasty.Could it be that the reason why the Han Dynasty was so popular has something to do with it?

Thinking of this, he returned to the East Palace non-stop, and began to read history again.His father told him that reality has no history, and everything he experiences now is history.In the past, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but now he seems to have a little understanding.

A few days later, the ruling and opposition parties announced the punishment of the criminals in the big southern case.More than 26 officials from more than 20 prefectures and counties were involved in the case.There are [-] aristocratic families involved in the case, including the Xiao family, the Lu family and other powerful families.There are more than [-] water bandits and bandits involved in the case.In Chang'an, more than [-] officials were involved in the case.

Among them, the local officials involved in the case were convicted according to the circumstances, the big ones were beheaded, all their family members were imprisoned, the female relatives were not included in the Jiaofang Division, and the small ones were exiled to the border.The aristocratic family involved in the case took the attitude of implicating the "branch".That is, all the branches of his family involved in the case were beheaded, and the three branches with closer blood relations were exiled to the side.As for the water bandits and bandits, needless to say, all of them were beheaded.

The officials involved in the case in Chang'an will all be exiled and will not be discussed.The location of this exile is also announced by the way, one of which is the former Turkic hometown, which is the later governor's mansion of several prairie.The second is Liaodong Road, which is the original Goguryeo and other places.

There are also a very small number of people who have committed heinous crimes but cannot be killed directly, and take the form of exile on a deserted island.This type of person is either the patriarch of a big southern family, or a famous southern 'celebrity'.

In summary, more than 4 people were beheaded and more than [-] people were exiled.

An absolutely major case, a major case that shocked the whole world.

Prince Li Chengzhao has been watching the beheading for three days, and he hasn't finished it yet.Seeing the back, he found his father and said that he was so sick these days that he couldn't eat, could he stop watching.Then the emperor severely reprimanded him, gave him two days off, and gave him a little relaxation, so that he had to continue to watch the beheading on the last day.

Li Chengzhao had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.He could probably guess that his father was training his xinxing, but seeing too many beheadings was really disgusting.

With the sage's knife, the southern family was completely wilted, and they directly sought out various relationships to confess to the emperor.But, now that the government and the opposition are all working, who has the time to talk to them.The Zhengshitang is busy looking for a replacement official to send to the south to take up his post.Not to mention the six parts, the matter of filling officials is discussed all day long.

Among them, Zhao Cijing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, can vomit blood during this period of time, because too many prisoners' family members have been confiscated into the Jiaofang Division, and he is too busy to receive them. How can he be a middleman for the southerners.In addition, Jiusi was also devastated, pulled out the radish and brought out mud, many prisoners knew that they would die, and crazily pulled people into the water, and many officials of Jiusi suffered.

Generally speaking, there is no problem with the operation of various departments, but it will bring a relatively large workload to those who have not committed crimes in a short period of time.

As for the Guanlong people and the Shandong gentry?

Sorry, they are too busy dividing the cake.

What must be known is that the emperor eats most of this piece of cake, and they can fight for the rest. This is necessary and necessary.No one dared to eat before the emperor lowered his chopsticks. This is the self-knowledge they must have.If it was still the early years of Wude, then the memorials about the selection of officials are already full of the emperor's imperial case.

But it's completely different now, the emperor says what he says now, and no one dares to seek death to challenge the emperor's authority.In particular, in the past few years, the emperor has been arrested by tens of thousands of people, so whoever is left alone can not be afraid.

Yu Zhining, Wang Gui and others were awarded by the emperor for their excellent investigation performance, and they were sent down to Dazhou to serve as governors.Wang and Gui accepted this reward with pleasure.Because staying in Chang'an has no future, only by passing through the place can we grasp the opportunities for improvement in the future.

"Forgive me!"

Xishi Beheading Platform.

Crowds of melon-eaters filled Xishi Wai with water.The beheaded today were the main branch disciples of the Gu family. Looking at the glaring sword, they were frightened to see their feces, urine and fart flow freely.Seeing this, the beheading man was speechless.But he was used to it, beheading was not uncommon during this time.How could a group of children from aristocratic families go to death calmly?

"Hahahaha, he cried in fright."

"Really!"

"Don't make mistakes if you're afraid."

The people roared with laughter.

To be honest, the common people love to see those once noble guys being beheaded, which makes them think from the bottom of their hearts that the laws of the empire do not allow any criminals to escape.

"Execution!" Crown Prince Chengzhao looked at the supervisor and waved his hands, helplessly watching the executioner continue to send those criminals to their deaths.

During this time he really saw numbness.

Click!
Heads fell to the ground, corpses fell to the ground.

The process is such a process, but the scene is not very good-looking.

Li Chengzhao crossed his arms and watched the scene calmly, but in his heart he began to think about what his father would do next after this incident was over.To be honest, this sudden investigation of the South was actually beyond everyone's expectations.Because the south was not always quiet before, but the emperor chose to turn a blind eye.

More importantly, the opportunity to do it this time was only because a little problem was found.This is like a person who has been walking straight all the way, but at a certain time, without warning, suddenly turns around and walks around the path.

No signs, unexpected.
