Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 386 Wei Zheng's Three Questions
"That's enough..." Li Shimin was very angry, but he was also a little happy in his heart.

Now that he saw with his own eyes that these people were not compatible, he was really relieved.

After Li Shimin shouted loudly, everyone fell silent.

"The prince didn't call you here to watch you fight. Don't you want Wei Zheng to live? I will give Wei Zheng a chance today, but whether he can take it or not depends on his own decision."

Although Wei Zheng was intentionally spared, if Wei Zheng was stubborn and still wanted to follow Li Jiancheng, then he would never spare him.

After saying this, Li Shimin took people into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

It was surprisingly cold in the prison of the Ministry of Justice in the cold winter. Although they were all wearing a lot of clothes, they were still shivering after entering.

As soon as they walked in, some prisoners in the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to cry.

"Let me out, let me out, I was wronged..."

"let me out……"

Crying and shouting continued, Li Shimin and the others seldom came to the Prison of the Criminal Ministry, and when they came, they suddenly discovered that there were so many prisoners in the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

For a long time, they all felt that Chang'an was a very safe place. At least they could keep their doors open at night and not pick up their belongings. But there are so many prisoners in the prison. To say that Chang'an City is well managed would be an exaggeration, right?

Qin Tian is somewhat better, he works in Jingzhao Mansion, and the prison in Jingzhao Mansion is similar to this one.

The Tang Dynasty has just been founded, and the forces of all parties have just been removed. Regardless of where, there are still many people who break the law and taboo. In addition, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he believed in heavy codes in troubled times, so the specified laws are very strict. Small problems, I am afraid they will be locked up in prison for a few days.

There are too many prisoners in the prison, and the government is busy with its affairs. Sometimes it is inevitable to neglect some prisoners, so those who could have been released after serving their sentences are still locked up in the prison.

And these prisoners have no right to appeal, so they can only stay in the prison. If they continue to stay, the number of people in the prison will naturally increase.

Li Shimin secretly wrote down these, because the purpose of coming here today was not for this, so he didn't pay too much attention to this situation, but he also knew that there were still many problems in the Tang Dynasty, and after he became the throne, he had a long way to go.

A group of people walked through the cold and damp prison, and in the innermost cell, they saw Wei Zheng curled up in a corner in thin clothes.

Wei Zheng's hands and feet were not locked by iron shackles, but at this time there were traces of beatings on his hands and feet. Obviously, he had poisoned Li Shimin before, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment often questioned him.

The door of the prison opened, and Li Shimin led people in. As soon as they entered, Li Ji suddenly took off his clothes and spread them on for Wei Zheng.

"Xuancheng...Xuancheng..." Wei Zheng's name is Xuancheng, and Li Ji has a good relationship with him. Seeing Wei Zheng like this, Li Ji couldn't help feeling sad.

Wei Zheng opened his eyes, saw that it was Li Ji, his eyes froze for a moment, and suddenly pushed Li Ji away with a slap, and then tore off Li Ji's clothes and threw them away.

The whole movement was done in one go, without the slightest sloppiness, and Wei Zheng didn't say a word after finishing these.

He has already heard the news of Li Jiancheng's killing, and he also knows that Li Shimin will not let him go, so facing the people who killed Li Jiancheng and those who will soon kill him, he feels that he should also learn a lesson sheet Xiongxin.

Anyway, he is about to die, so why not be more righteous and awe-inspiring, so that it can be passed down to future generations, and it can be seen that his iron bones are strong.

Both Li Shimin and Qin Tian were taken aback by Wei Zheng's reaction. They came to save his life, but he still put on a show.

"Xuan Cheng, as long as you are willing to submit to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince will spare your life." Li Ji's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Wei Zheng and said, but Wei Zheng just laughed: "His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness is already dead."

When these words came out, Li Shimin's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he snorted: "The prince is generous, I originally thought that even if you poisoned the prince, as long as you are willing to surrender, the prince will spare your life, but now it seems that you If you don’t want to repent, if that’s the case, then go to die.”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin turned around and was about to leave. Although he really wanted to get someone like Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng said such a thing, it would be unreasonable for him to spare his life.

He only spares those who are willing to submit to him. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he still has this temper.

However, when Li Shimin was about to leave, Li Ji, Qin Shubao and others suddenly knelt down: "His Royal Highness..."

They failed to save Shan Xiongxin last time, this time, they don't want to miss Wei Zheng again.

The voices of several people were a little choked up, and there was an indescribable determination. Li Shimin's expression froze slightly. Datang had hurt these people once. If he hurt them again, would it cause dissatisfaction among them?
Li Shimin stood at the gate of the prison, a little hesitant. He suddenly found that it was very difficult to be a prince or an emperor, and he was worried that these people would be too powerful if they huddled together, but he didn't want to hurt their hearts.

The atmosphere in the prison was somewhat dignified. Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng felt a sudden pain in his heart. When he rescued Shan Xiongxin, he was like Li Ji and others. He could understand how these people felt at this moment.

And now he is the same as Shan Xiongxin at that time, as long as there is one choice, there will be a different result, whether to let these former brothers continue to feel guilty, sad, and painful, or to allow himself to bear the confusion of the world and help these brothers?
Wei Zheng is different from Shan Xiongxin.

"If you want me to surrender, yes, but you need to answer me three questions."

Wei Zheng, who was trembling, spoke, he finally couldn't bear his brother's guilt and sadness.

Li Shimin turned around, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Those three questions?"

"If you are enthroned, can you be diligent in governing and loving the people, can you be a kind and virtuous minister who is far from a small person, can you listen to loyal words and harsh words?"

Wei Zheng's words were so deafening, Li Shimin's body was full of excitement, these things can only be achieved by a sage and wise king, Wei Zheng's three questions were clearly asking him if he wanted to be an emperor through the ages.

And what Li Shimin worked so hard for was to become an emperor through the ages.

"This prince is here to tell you that if I ascend the throne, the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment. I will not close my doors at night and pick up my belongings. The Tang Dynasty will also be full of talents. There will be no use for villains, let alone kill an official."

Li Shimin also spoke every word, and Wei Zheng's mouth showed a slight smile: "If so, please give me an official position. I, Wei Zheng, live, not for myself, but for the Tang Dynasty. Since you said this , then let me use this life to verify your words."

When Wei Zheng said these words, his eyes made Qin Tian tremble.
