The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1369 The New Candidate of the Ministry of Punishment

Perhaps, His Majesty Li Er just didn't want this son to die in Chang'an, under his nose, and wanted to keep himself clean.

It's not that the opportunity was never given to him, it's just that Li Zhi didn't cherish it himself. It's okay to fail once in such a thing as rebellion. However, Li Zhi, after his failure, entered the Sixteenth Palace, but he still didn't want to repent and wanted to The rebellion also besieged His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun. If the time was not delayed properly, and Li Zhi was more ruthless, he let Zhang Liang's adoptive sons in the courtyard rush into the room and kill His Majesty Li Er. Empress Changsun must not be able to hold on, the empress of the emperor died in the Sixteenth King's House, which became a joke.

Sending Li Zhi to Yazhou, maybe Li Zhi is lucky and can really make it to Yazhou?After Li Zhi left Chang'an, the palace no longer needed to inquire about him. Whether he was dead or alive, in the hearts of the emperor and empress, he had the right to treat him as his son, but he would not be in contact anymore. Thoughts in my heart.

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er was also torn in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't want to see Li Zhi again, and on the other hand, he didn't want to kill him. However, rebellion twice is a repeated crime and an unforgivable crime.

What happened this time made His Majesty Li Er feel a little embarrassed, being trapped by his son in the Sixteenth King's House, it is easy to think of how the people in Tiance Mansion forced Li Yuan to give the throne to Li Er after the Xuanwu Gate. His Majesty's.

Although at the beginning, the crown prince was only established first, and finally the emperor was seated, but before the Tang Dynasty, there was no dynasty or generation. When the emperor died, the crown prince became the emperor, and then he was emptied and retired to the seat of the Supreme Emperor. .

Zhang Liang's wife and children were not spared, and in the end they had to go to the West Market with Zhang Liang to be beheaded. After hearing this, Zhang Liang sat paralyzed on the ground.

He has struggled for most of his life, from a dutiful farmer to the seat he is today, the Duke of Yun of the Tang Dynasty, the chief officer of the Canghai Road Marching, and the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and he still holds the military power of the Tang Dynasty. What a glorious status, what a noble status, in the end, a rebellion was all for naught, and there was not even a descendant left.

Although Li Zhi is still not sentenced to death by His Majesty, it is no different from being sent to Yazhou to die. The journey is long, and the journey is exhausting. The south is full of miasma, and Yazhou is close to the six kingdoms of Nanzhao. In the eyes of Guanzhong people, the residents are all a bunch of uncivilized wild people. They are no different from monkeys.

It is a miracle that a prince can survive after being sent to such a place.

His Majesty Li Er announced the fate of everyone involved in this conspiracy in Ganlu Hall, Xuan Shijing stood quietly in the hall, and a group of ministers in Zhengshitang were silent.

His Majesty Li Er's judgment has nothing to criticize. Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be exiled should be exiled, and those who should be exiled are still their own sons. If they say anything more, the result will only increase in vain His Majesty Li Er's displeasure is nothing more than that.

Not everyone is Wei Zheng, who dared to confront His Majesty Li Er, so after Wei Zheng died, His Majesty Li Er said that he had lost a mirror.

"As for the matter of the Nine Princes, after the three provinces issue documents, Dali Temple has full authority to handle them, and they will not go to the Criminal Ministry. As for Zhang Liang's rebels, they will wait for the new Shangshu merchants from the Criminal Ministry to handle the matter." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes." Everyone in the hall clapped their hands in response.

"Take them all down." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said.

After the Imperial Forest Army in front of the hall took away Zhang Liang and Li Zhi in the hall, His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. After today's stimulation, his head began to ache again.

"Next, there is one more thing." His Majesty Li Er said: "Zhang Liang has been dealt with, and the seat of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will be vacant. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a suitable candidate for arrangement?"

A country cannot be without a king for a day. Similarly, a minister is also a very important seat, and it cannot be left empty for too long, otherwise there will be no rules and no one in charge in the Ministry of Punishment, and sooner or later there will be chaos and death.

Everyone in the palace heard the words and began to murmur. For a while, they couldn't think of any good candidates. The people they knew well had already performed their duties in the imperial court. Now they wanted to transfer them. Some are not easy.

Three provinces and six ministries, the position of a minister is very important.

"Your Majesty, I think that Su Xu can take this position temporarily," Chu Suiliang said.

Su Xu is an old man by His Majesty Li Er's side. He followed His Majesty Li Er and made great contributions. During the reign of Wu De, he was a counselor for the King of Qin, signed a contract, a bachelor of literature, and Princess Shang Nankang. The captain-in-law, but up to now, has never been reused. He has been working in Li Tai's literature museum, and he has contributed to Li Tai's compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi".

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji.

Generally speaking, as long as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang have the same opinion when participating in politics in the Zhengshitang, the matter can basically be settled.

"My minister seconded the proposal." Changsun Wuji answered with cupped hands.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, although he is a minister, there are two servants under him. Even if he is a little unfamiliar with handling things at the beginning, he will get used to it after a long time. There is nothing he can't do. Besides, this Su Xu is also Born in Tiance Mansion, one of the Eighteen Scholars of Prince Qin's Mansion back then, there is no need to doubt his talent.

"That's very good. Let Su Xu report to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs as soon as possible. Once this matter happens, the affairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will pile up. If it is dealt with earlier, I will be less worried." His Majesty Li Er said: "Okay, nothing to do Alright, back off."

"Yes." The ministers in the palace cupped their hands in response.

When he was about to leave, His Majesty Li Er said: "Jing'er, stay here first, I have something to tell you."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing stopped in his tracks and replied.

His Majesty Li Er let out a sigh when all the people in the hall were gone, and only the emperor, Xuan Shijing, and Deyi were left in the hall.

"This son of mine has really disappointed me!" His Majesty Li Er said angrily.

The ministers of the political affairs hall were all there just now, and His Majesty Li Er was not easy to get angry. After the matter was settled, the anger in his heart made him uncomfortable.

Li Zhi couldn't bear it, it was also his blood and blood, the son of his direct relatives, just like this, His Majesty Li Er felt uncomfortable, and what Li Zhi said to His Majesty Li Er in the sixteenth king's house , It is really stinging.

It is said that the son does not talk about the father's fault, but Li Zhi said it, and kept poking at His Majesty Li Er's pain. What can His Majesty Li Er do?
What happened, it happened. His Majesty Li Er has never regretted what he did at the beginning.
