Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1569 Fame
Tang Jian was taken aback by Prince Li Chengqian's words, a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Li Chengqian would think more broadly about this matter.

He couldn't help but think to himself that Qin Tian is really good, and the students he teaches have much better vision than others.

If it was for the hearts of the people, he would agree with Li Chengqian's approach.

It is not a terrible thing to offend a few officials in the court, but it is terrible to lose the hearts of the people.

In addition, this is also an attitude expressed to Li Shimin for Prince Li Chengqian.

As long as Li Shimin has no intention of abolishing the reserve, no matter how many officials Li Chengqian offends, the crown prince will still belong to Li Chengqian in the end.

After thinking about this, Tang Jian didn't say much, and Li Chengqian's order was quickly conveyed.

Zhang House.

Zhang Yuan, as a member of the third rank in the imperial court, is still very important in Chang'an City.

His mansion is also very grand.

At this time, in the Zhang residence, Zhang Yuan was drinking with his son Zhang Feng, and several singers and dancers were singing and dancing beside them.

Father and son share a common interest in such things.

As for what Zhang Feng did, Zhang Yuan didn't think it was anything at all. Even if the truth was found out, what could Li Chengqian do to him?
While the father and son were having fun, a servant hurried over.

"Master, son, something is wrong."

Being disturbed, Zhang Yuan's expression was a little ugly.

He glared at the servant, and asked angrily, "What's wrong?"

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone here, saying that he wants to take the young master away."

"What?" Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard that his son was going to be taken away. Does Li Chengqian really dare to do this?

As he said that, Zhang Yuan got up and walked out. Soon, he saw the yamen servants sent by Li Chengqian. There were not many yamen servants, only five or six, and they didn't look imposing.

After seeing Zhang Yuan, these yamen servants hurried forward to salute.

"Greetings to Mr. Zhang, we are also here at the order of the crown prince, so we will be more accommodating to Mr. Zhang."

Seeing the attitudes of these yamen servants, Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then relaxed again.

If Li Chengqian wanted to kill people and establish his prestige, he didn't need to be so polite at all, just bring people to arrest him, but the attitude of these people now, does it mean that Prince Li Chengqian is just putting on a show?

Then find a reason to let him go, after all, if you kill someone, if you don't even arrest him, you won't be able to convince the public.

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Yuan glanced at his son and gave him a wink. The father and son had a good understanding, and Zhang Feng immediately understood his father's intentions, so when he was detained by the yamen servants, he didn't even think about it. How to resist, not even yelling.

In his opinion, none of this was necessary. Since it was just a formality, then he should be free soon, right?

When Zhang Feng was arrested, other people were also arrested in this relatively gentle way.

After they were arrested, they were locked in a prison in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The prison was relatively clean, but Li Chengqian just locked them up and did nothing to them.

At this time, people like Zhang Yuan felt that Li Chengqian was really just putting on a show and would not do anything to their son.
-
The weather in Chang'an City was extremely hot, and the cicadas were singing and making noise.

In the morning, Li Chengqian discussed some things with the officials, which seemed to be the same as usual.

Huang Duojiu stood on the main hall with an ugly look on his face, hesitant to speak, and after several times, he finally made up his mind, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Feng and others bully the people and wantonly kill people. I don't know what His Royal Highness wants How to punish them, I heard that His Royal Highness has arrested them, but he has not punished them, I don’t know what His Royal Highness intends to do, but we have to put on a show and let them go?"

Huang Duojiu openly questioned Prince Li Chengqian in the main hall. Some officials in the court discussed with each other, some were curious about Prince Li Chengqian's choice, and some thought Huang Duojiu was bold.

But Zhang Yuan and the others just smiled softly with disdain.

Now, even Huang Duojiu knew what Li Chengqian meant, so Li Chengqian must have put on a show. Thinking about it, Li Chengqian still didn't want to make too many enemies in the court.

However, when they were thinking this way, Prince Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at the sky outside. At this time, the sun was scorching hot and it was almost past noon. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at Huang Duojiu and said: " Killing people pays their lives, it’s only right and proper, if someone kills someone, they must pay their lives, this is the law of the Tang Dynasty, at this moment, Zhang Feng and the others may have already had their heads chopped off on the street."

When these words came out, Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly. He could have expected Li Chengqian's upright temper and would kill to relieve his hatred, but he did not expect that Li Chengqian would kill without Zhang Yuan and others knowing, and he would kill on the street.

Obviously, Li Chengqian wanted to take advantage of this incident to gather some people's aspirations.

He really underestimated Li Chengqian.

But at this time, Zhang Yuan and the others were shaken all over, their heads felt dazed, and their feet were even a little unsteady, staggering, and they were about to fall to the ground.

All along, they thought that Li Chengqian was just showing off, but how could he really kill someone?
"His Royal Highness, what do you mean?" Zhang Yuan looked at Li Chengqian and asked, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Li Chengqian met his eyes and looked down, but there was killing intent in Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Zhang Feng and others killed people in Chang'an City. The prince executed them according to the law, but there is something wrong. Mr. Zhang has no way to teach his son. Is it possible that you still want to violate the laws of my Tang Dynasty? It seems that the prince needs to talk to his father. Tell me about Master Zhang's situation."

As Li Chengqian said, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Yuan, who laughed, shuddered all over, feeling an indescribable chill.

These people really underestimated Li Chengqian. Now that Li Chengqian killed their son, what can they do to Li Chengqian?
But when Zhang Yuan and others were resentful and helpless, some officials in the court became excited.

"Okay, dudes like them have to be killed."

"That's right, that's right, kill them and see who dares to carelessly take human life in a place like Chang'an City."

"Who do you really think you are?"

"His Royal Highness is wise, you killed well."

"That's right, that's right, His Royal Highness is wise."

Everyone was very optimistic about Li Chengqian's behavior, but Li Chengqian just nodded slightly. The reason why he wanted to use this method to kill people unexpectedly was because he didn't want to cause too much trouble. smoothly.

Now that people are killed, what tricks can these people make?
