The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2053 The post-sealing ceremony begins

This incident gave Li Chengqian an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, even so, the methods must not be too drastic." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said.

"My teacher also told me so, but if I miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to catch them in the future." Li Chengqian said: "You should understand the truth of this, right? Is it possible? , you also want to object to me doing this? At this juncture."

"Of course I won't object to Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing said, "But too many people are involved in this case, Your Majesty can't kill them all, right?"

There are indeed many people involved, and it is unrealistic to kill them all.

"Then what suggestion do you have? The matter is at hand, just say it." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty, some people are only slightly involved in the case. For such people, their lives can be spared and their titles can be deprived. As for those who are more seriously involved, their lives can still be spared, their titles can be deprived, and their property can be confiscated." , if the case is extremely serious, it is at the discretion of His Majesty to confiscate the family, behead the head and exile." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Chengqian nodded after listening to Xuan Shijing's words.

It is reasonable to classify those people into a crime level in this way. Although some people are involved in the case, they are not guilty of death, so they can do as Xuan Shijing said.

"Very good." Li Chengqian said: "Compared to the teacher's objection, your words are quite feasible."

Li Chengqian is not afraid of people's opposition, but if you oppose the emperor, you must always have a reason. In addition to having a reason, the solution to the matter is to give one, not to give advice, but to oppose you desperately. Not all courtiers agree. It's from Yushitai.

"If that's the case, I feel relieved. After all, today is a good day for the empress. Although I say that I should not talk too much, but if I act like this today, the empress will not say much for your majesty's sake. But she will It's a bit pimple, if you can kill less, it's better to kill less, it's a good deed."

Although those people should be killed, but it can't be done overnight, and they can't be killed all at once. If this is the case, it will easily cause a fierce backlash. No one knows what the situation will be like by then.

In order to be on the safe side, Xuan Shijing also had to advise Li Chengqian to delay the attack.

"In half an hour, the grand ceremony will start. I'll go change my clothes first. If you don't want to go early, you can rest here for a while. Feel free, don't be restrained, between you and me, in the hall It's a monarch and minister, in private, you are my brother-in-law." Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I'm gone, Lin'an!"

Li Chengqian yelled towards the outside, and Lin'an hurriedly opened the palace door from the outside and walked in.

"Changing clothes." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes." Lin An responded with a bow.

After entering the side hall of the Xuanzheng Hall, Lin'an waited on Li Chengqian to change into the clothes he would wear for today's post-sealing ceremony.

After more than half an hour, the emperor and empress will appear in front of the Hanyuan Hall.

At this time, the courtiers outside and the dignitaries who entered the palace to participate in the ceremony have already begun to wait outside. It has not officially started yet, so follow the order of the shift, stay in place loosely, and then chat with the people around. time.

There are some nobles who have not entered the palace for a long time, but in the palace, they met some people they knew or good friends in the past. The two said hello, chatted, and got closer. The post-ceremony is also a good time for them to develop their personal connections.

And some of them didn't know at all that today's grand ceremony was the beginning of their disaster. Now, they are still chatting and laughing with others in the square in front of Hanyuan Hall.

Xuan Shijing ate and drank in the Xuanzheng Hall, while the ministers outside were under the boss's sun.

Before the Empress Seal Ceremony began, Li Chengqian specially ordered the little eunuch to inform Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing walked from the Xuanzheng Hall to the Hanyuan Hall.

Xuan Shijing is a first-rank official and is also the Duke of the country, so he is already able to stand with Cheng Yaojin and others.

Thinking about when he was young, he was familiar with most of these people, but now, Lao Cheng is the only one who can talk.

Qin Qiong left, and then Chai Shao also left. The veterans withered one by one, and those standing around were people whom Xuan Shijing knew but didn't know well.

"Why did you come here?" Cheng Yaojin reprimanded after seeing Xuan Shijing: "Today is a big day, it doesn't matter if you are tired and lazy on weekdays, but today is not the case, you want to be targeted by the Yushitai people? "

Cheng Yaojin didn't know that Xuan Shijing came here after eating and drinking in Xuanzheng Hall.

"It's okay, I met His Majesty beforehand, and His Majesty ordered his servants to bring me here just now." Xuan Shijing said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin also lowered his voice: "Why, what did you talk to His Majesty about?"

Although it shouldn't be asked, Cheng Yaojin is curious, and with the relationship between the two families, it's okay to talk about it in private.

Even if something was discussed, it should be today's matter, right?
Although Lao Cheng looks crude and careless on the surface, but there are details in the thick and thin. He had already noticed when he entered the palace today. If there is only the Empress Seal Ceremony, why are there so many people from the Zuowuwei camp patrolling outside the Danfeng Gate? ?Moreover, the transfer of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City also made him feel that something was wrong.

Lao Cheng was born in the army. Although he is no longer in charge of fighting, the transfer of the army cannot escape his eyes. This man has a flexible mind.

"There is a big move today, but it has nothing to do with us, just wait for the show." Xuan Shijing said.

"Mysterious, it must be a big deal." Old Cheng said, "Boy, let me tell you, take it easy when doing things. If something happens to you now, I, Old Cheng, won't be able to protect you." , What you did this year is too offending."

Although Xuan Shijing is in his thirties, in Cheng Yaojin's eyes, he is still a kid.

When Cheng Yaojin saw Xuan Shijing, he always felt unknowingly that time had passed too fast. The boy and daughter back then were almost at the age of marriage.

Xuan Shijing was investigating the case of the bank outside. It is true that he offended people. Cheng Yaojin was worried about this. In the past, if something happened to Xuan Shijing, he would help him out. This time, who I can stand it.

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry." Xuan Shijing said.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

The sound of the drum echoed in the palace. Upon hearing the sound of the drum, the courtiers and nobles returned to their respective positions and stood up.

After the drums stopped, there was the deafening sound of long horns.
