Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1376 Li Ke's Winning

After Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, the officials in the court suddenly became excited again.

They originally thought that Li Xiaogong wanted to kill his relatives righteously, but they didn't expect to intercede for their son in the end.

Did he think it would be enough to speak nicely?
"Your Majesty, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? It is only right and proper to kill someone for life."

"That's right, that's right, if Li Chongyi killed someone, would he still want to live? If so, wouldn't we be able to kill people casually?"

"In that case, wouldn't the whole Tang Dynasty be messed up?"

Li Xiaogong's request is already very low, he just wants to survive, but now even such a low request, all the officials still don't agree.

Among the crowd, Li Yuanjing looked at Li Xiaogong with resentment in his eyes.

There was no way, originally he would be able to get the secret recipe of gunpowder soon, but it was destroyed by Li Xiaogong's son Li Chongyi, which was tantamount to ruining his great career.

This hatred is irreconcilable.

Therefore, he had already arranged for his people to kill Li Chongyi no matter what, and he wanted to vent his anger.

At this time, the loudest yelling in the hall was his people.

Everyone kept talking, Li Xiaogong suddenly felt sad when he saw this situation.

I'm afraid that I can't save my son.

And he knew that Li Shimin was also angry about his son's situation.

But Li Shimin did not intend to speak for a long time.

At this moment, Li Ke suddenly stood up.

"Father, my son thinks that Li Xiaogong's request can be granted. You know, my Tang Dynasty has military merit rewards. Those who have military merit can use military merit to pay for their lives. Li Xiaogong can use his own military merit in exchange for his son's life. "

When Li Ke said this, everyone was stunned, but a smile suddenly appeared on Li Xiaogong's face.

That's right, Datang did have this rule.

In order to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, the Tang Dynasty all had military merits, but those who made military merits could use these military merits in exchange for some benefits, such as fields, money and food.

Of course, those who exchange these are those who have made small contributions, and those who have made great contributions are generally based on the size of their contributions, the titles they are awarded, and so on.

Li Xiaogong was rewarded with a title and many other things because of his military exploits. After all, his contribution is really great.

After Li Ke finished speaking, Li Xiaogong immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, I am willing to use military merits in exchange for my son's life."

Li Xiaogong did this, no one can say anything, Li Xiaogong was born and died for the Tang Dynasty, made great contributions, he has military merits, he is willing to use this in exchange for his life, who can refuse?
You can talk about the law, it’s okay, if you have the ability, you can also make military contributions to the Great Tang to kill the enemy?
The entire hall is silent, because military merit is also stipulated by the Tang system, and it does not conflict with the law.

If the rules of military merit are not maintained, who will kill the enemy and serve the country for Datang?

Take the opportunity, take the opportunity.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked somewhat better.

This reminder from Li Ke finally solved his problem. It can not only calm Li Xiaogong's heart, but also make those shouting people in the world shut up.

After a long time, Li Shimin nodded: "Since Li Xiaogong is willing to exchange your military merits for your son's life, then I will agree."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
-
At the end of the early court, the officials left one after another.

Li Xiaogong gave Li Ke a grateful look when there were few people.

After Li Ke saw it, he smiled and nodded.

Then, the two left separately.

Li Ke returned home in the carriage, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Li Chongyi killed someone, and Li Ke also wanted to kill him. However, this was another opportunity for him, a chance to win over Li Xiaogong.

If he wants to fight for the imperial power, he must have talents from all over the court, and Li Xiaogong, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has a huge influence at the same time, if such a person can be drawn to his side.

That will definitely be very helpful to my great cause.

When other vassal kings wanted to fight for the imperial power, they usually conspired against each other, but the most common method used by princes like them was to develop their own power and make the whole court belong to them.

In this way, their words will be effective, and they will naturally have the opportunity to seek the crown prince.

Sending a favor to Li Xiaogong today is a very good sign.

If he wins over Li Xiaogong, his power in the court will be close to that of Prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai.

As a prince who is not a direct descendant, it takes more effort to be able to compete with them.

But when Li Ke was thinking this way, Li Xiaogong had already rushed to the mansion in a hurry.

At this time, he was also a little grateful to Li Ke in his heart. If it weren't for Li Ke's words, his son might have been killed.

Of course, although my son is exempt from the death penalty, he cannot escape the crime of living. He has already been demoted to a commoner, and he will be dispatched to other places. Find a way to find a future for your son.

"Li Ke, it's interesting..." When he went back like this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiaogong's mouth, and he muttered to himself.

As a person who has struggled in the court for many years, Li Xiaogong is not only good at fighting, but also excels in many things sometimes. Now, several princes of Li Shimin have grown up one after another and began to occupy the court. One seat.

The battle for imperial power, which has been silent for many years, is probably about to start again?
The favor Li Ke sent today was undoubtedly meant to win him over.

After thinking about it, Li Xiaogong smiled.

The battle for the prince has always been very thrilling, but if the bet is correct, it will be very contemptuous of his future. For example, when he rebelled with Li Yuan back then, it was a successful case.

Once a person speculates once and succeeds, he will be full of enthusiasm for this method, and wants to use this method again to improve his strength.

Today's Lee Hyo-gong is undoubtedly like this.

And he wanted to get more benefits from his success, so it was impossible to support Li Chengqian. He was already the prince, and his name was justified. Even if Li Chengqian became the emperor, he would not be too grateful to him.

Li Tai, Li Ke, and even the young Li Zhi are all good choices, but among these people, Li Ke is the only one in terms of talent.

Li Xiaogong smiled slightly, in such a situation to compete for imperial power, the supporters must be capable, otherwise there would be no chance to enter the center of power.

It just so happens that Li Ke is a very capable person, and he even helped him.

However, he still has to observe and observe.
