Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 494
Qin Shubao and others stood up to speak for Qin Tian.

But Li Shimin didn't have any intention of letting Qin Tian go because of their pleading.

Firstly, killing surrenders is indeed a serious crime, if not dealt with, it is really possible to kill surrenders as Gao Shilian said.

It would be very unfavorable for Datang if the killing became popular.

If the enemy knows that Datang likes to kill and surrender, then those enemies would rather die in battle than surrender, right?

If people have the will to die, they will have to pay a price if they want to kill them. Li Shimin doesn't want to see this kind of result.

What's more, Qin Tian's behavior obviously didn't take his words seriously, how could he do it if he didn't teach Qin Tian a lesson?

Just when Li Shimin was about to teach Qin Tian a lesson, an eunuch hurried over: "My lord, Lord Lu sent someone to send an urgent report."

Any urgent report can be directly reported to the court.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's urgent report, Li Shimin immediately snorted again, Qin Tian killed and surrendered, but Cheng Yaojin didn't stop him, and wanted to punish him.

However, Li Shimin was not in a hurry, but ordered someone to bring up the urgent report.

Li Shimin opened the urgent report and read it, and saw that Cheng Yaojin had described the situation of the killing and surrender. After reading it this way, Li Shimin felt that what Qin Tian said was very reasonable.

My blind kindness will only make those Li Jiancheng's old party members feel rebellious. If they rebel and don't kill them, how can it work?

Seeing this, the anger just disappeared.

And in the urgent report, Cheng Yaojin also mentioned about Li Luo, King of Wings. Seeing that Li Luo was the mastermind behind the rebel army, Li Shimin frowned again, as if he was very unhappy.

Gao Shilian was worried about what Cheng Yaojin said in the urgent report, which would ruin his plan, but seeing Li Shimin frowning, he thought that Li Shimin was not deceived by Cheng Yaojin, and he still wanted to punish Qin Tian. So it was a relief.

The entire hall was silent, only the sound of wind and rain outside could be heard from time to time.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, wanting to know the result.

As time went by, Li Shimin finally finished reading the urgent report, and after reading it, his expression was much calmer than before.

"Li Yiyu rebelled and should be executed according to the law. This matter cannot be brought up again. Let's discuss other matters now."

Li Shimin said it lightly, and directly turned over the matter of Qin Tian's killing and surrender. Everyone was stunned, and they didn't expect this to happen.

If they had known that an urgent report from Cheng Yaojin would have solved the problem, why did they bother to stand up and plead for Qin Tian just now?

However, they were also very curious about what was said in the emergency report, which made Li Shimin let go of the murder.

Qin Shubao and others thought this way, but Gao Shilian frowned, and immediately stood up: "My lord, Qin Tian killed and surrendered, how can this be forgotten?"

The impeachment that Gao Shilian worked so hard to arrange failed like this, and he was not reconciled.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Gao Aiqing thinks that rebels don't deserve to die?"

"This... I don't mean that." Just now he said that the rebels should not be killed, it is almost the same as the rebels, how dare Gao Shilian say that.

He was aggrieved.

"There is no need to mention this matter again. Qin Tian just killed a rebel Li Yiyu. None of the other rebels were killed. This is not considered a surrender."

Li Shimin needs to let people know that killing surrender is still a serious crime, but Qin Tian just killed Li Yiyu, which is not counted as killing surrender.

When everyone heard this, they naturally wouldn't say more about it.

"Seeing that it's already winter, next year will be my new year name. Do you have any year names to offer?"

Although Li Shimin is already the emperor, but now Datang still uses Li Yuan's year name, Wude Nine Years.

Next year will be Li Shimin's own reign.

When Li Shimin said this, he naturally wanted to divert from the topic just now. Of course, the New Year is only two or three months away, and the matter of his own year should also be on the agenda.

After Li Shimin said this, the courtiers in the court soon started discussing it, which was much more lively than the previous morning court.

After all, the year name is very important to the emperor, and if the year name he said is used, it is also a thing that can be recorded in the history books.

"Holy Majesty, the "Yi Xi Ci II" says that the way of the sun and the moon is the one who is chaste and bright, and the way that the sun and the moon shine is also known as chastity and righteousness. It is not as good as the title of the holy majesty. "Kong Yingda is considered to be the most educated person in the court, so he was the first to speak and proposed the reign name Zhenming.

Zhenming means Changming, which means that Li Shimin's world will be very clear and bright, and it will continue to be brilliant.

After Kong Yingda finished speaking, before Li Shimin could speak, another person stood up.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call it Changxing? In the hands of Your Majesty, Datang will definitely prosper for a long time. Changxing is very good."

"........."

Everyone was chattering, one talking more than one, and one talking louder than the other. Kong Yingda stood among the crowd, but was overwhelmed. He was so angry that he couldn't help shouting at those people: "No culture, no culture..."

The courtroom was in chaos, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, but frowned slightly, everyone said a lot, but none of them satisfied him, or in other words, none of them made him feel worthy of his temperament.

But soon, Li Shimin discovered that while others were talking a lot, Changsun Wuji was standing by the side without saying a word.

This made Li Shimin feel strange. For such a thing, Changsun Wuji should have a way of thinking. If he has a way of thinking, what does he mean?
When everyone was arguing, Li Shimin asked, "Aiqing Changsun, what do you have to say about this matter?"

Changsun Wuji was questioned, so he stood up and said: "My lord, I think it's better to call it Zhenguan. "Book of Changes: Xici Xia" says that the way of heaven and earth is the one who watches the truth. Zhen means righteousness; Guan means showing. "Zhenguan" shows others with righteousness."

Those who are chaste watchers show others with righteousness. After Li Shimin heard this, his expression moved slightly. Changsun Wuji stood below, but he remained calm. In his opinion, Li Shimin would definitely use this year name.

Because he knows Li Shimin too well, his throne was snatched, and he did not come rightly. Using Zhenguan as a new year, and showing people righteously, is actually in line with Li Shimin's wishes, and the year name that suits his wishes. Why doesn't he use it? ?

Changsun Wuji is best at guessing people's hearts, and as long as he masters people's hearts, he can do what he likes.

Sure enough, after Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin laughed: "Zhenguan is good, next year's reign will be called Zhenguan."

Li Shimin just made up his mind, and the others felt a little bit disappointed. Kong Yingda pouted even more: "Your Majesty, Zhenming is not bad, how about Zhenguan next year, and Zhenming the year after?"

"The next year will be prosperous..."

The court seemed to be in chaos again.
