The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2057 Sentencing
Li Chengqian said that he would wait for Fang Yiai to bring her back, but he really didn't let the little eunuch beside him continue to read the case, but just stood there, waiting for Fang Yiai and them.

After about two quarters of an hour, Fang Yiai hurried back from the household department with a group of people.

"Does Aiqing know now that it's 800 million yuan?" Li Chengqian asked with a cold face.

"I understand." The man tremblingly hugged the wat board and bowed to salute.

"That's good." Li Chengqian said: "Come here, take off his official hat and send him out of the palace."

The soldiers of the Zuowuwei Battalion, who were beside Hou, stepped forward and took off his official hat from the man's head.

In this way, he was dismissed by Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty." The man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. He never thought that because of one sentence, he would lose his position.

"Aiqing should go back and have a good rest." Li Chengqian said, "Take her down and send her out of the palace."

"Yes." The people from the Zuowuwei camp clapped their hands in response, and then motioned to the two people under him to drag him out.

Just being dismissed from office and nothing else was done, which also shows that this official was not involved in the Qianzhuang case, otherwise, how could Li Chengqian let him go so easily?

Xuan Shijing stood behind Cheng Yaojin, watched Li Chengqian's series of actions, and fell silent.

It would be fine to deal with those who were guilty, but now that innocent people are involved, wouldn't that be a bit too much?

Now what is His Majesty thinking and what he wants to do, Xuan Shijing has no idea.

Originally, there were already many troubles in today's conferment ceremony, but now, the palace ministers below are even more silent.

"Okay, now that the person has come back, let's continue with what happened just now. The Yangzhou case involved not only Yangzhou's official circles, but even in Chang'an City, some people were involved, and some of them were involved in the case. The governor of Yangzhou is a backer, and some of them are friends with the governor of Yangzhou because of the bank, and there are letters as evidence for the relationship between them. "Lin'an, read the list."

"Yes." Lin'an bowed in response.

Immediately afterwards, there was a list of nobles in Yangzhou and a list of Chang'an City. In Chang'an City, there were three uncles and one Hou Ye who participated in the bank case in Yangzhou. They were all governors of Yangzhou in Chang'an. The backing of the city.

The person whose name was read turned pale, then stood up tremblingly, and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I know I was wrong."

"I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, I was also confused for a moment."

In an instant, there was a sound of wailing.

"If I knew this earlier, why should you be responsible for the mistakes you made back then." Li Chengqian said: "Take his title and confiscate his property! Come, take it down, and execute it."

"Yes!" The soldiers of the Zuowuwei Battalion responded, and stepped forward to a group of people, dragging them down.

When these people were taken away by Zuo Wuwei's men, they were still crying and wanted Li Chengqian to show mercy.

But Li Chengqian still had a cold face, standing on top of Pill, turning a deaf ear to their pleas and wailing.

Some ministers below began to frown.

In terms of cleanliness, how many people present are clean?Could it be that His Majesty has to clean up?

As for the dismissed official just now, he seemed to have no faults on weekdays except that he didn't know 800 million yuan, but today, if he stood up, he became a fault and lost his position?

Is His Majesty crazy?

Many princes and ministers thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.

There are also some people with keen minds, and Li Chengqian's idea came out of their hearts, that is to take back the titles that were given out, but the number of nobles has become less and less.

Those who guessed this, couldn't help but worry in their hearts, worried about their own title.

When he was awarded the title for his meritorious service, he still wanted to pass it on to future generations. If he was deprived of the title, what would happen to the whole family in the future?
In Chang'an City, without status, even if you have a family property, you will be bullied. What's more, those who participated in the case of the bank will have their family property confiscated after being seized
It was obvious that there was no way out.

"Don't think too much, dear friends." Li Chengqian stood on top and smiled happily: "I believe that most of you are upright and upright ministers, and you are not afraid of being crooked when you are upright, aren't you?"

After saying this, Li Chengqian signaled the eunuch beside him to continue reading.

Among the princes and ministers, some people were "invited out" by the soldiers of the Zuowuwei camp. There were many princes and ministers in front of the Hanyuan Hall, but now the number has decreased a lot.

And the two servants on the steps continued to read the file, and the file in the box had only been read for less than half.

I can't read any more, this is the voice of all the ministers below except Yu Zhining and Xuan Shijing.

If you continue to read, maybe something will be involved, and some big trouble will be caused.

Therefore, before Lin'an announced the decree, a large number of courtiers below fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, I can't read any more."

"Chen, I implore Your Majesty, please stop."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can't read any more."

Li Chengqian looked coldly at the trembling kneeling people below, and couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Why can't I read it anymore? Are you afraid of being involved?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "What? What happened? Do you dare to do it or not? Afraid of being exposed in front of others?"

"When I did such a thing, did I ever think that I would be here today! Did I ever feel ashamed!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

The people below all lowered their heads.

"Otherwise, what are you afraid of?" Li Chengqian asked: "Tell me! What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that too many people will be involved in the Qianzhuang case, and that I will deal with all the officials of the imperial court cleanly? I tell you, I am not afraid! There are so many people in the court, occupying so many positions, and the court never lacks people to replace you. There are many people who are thinking about the seats under your buttocks. Among them, there is never anything that cannot be replaced, including you!"

"Look at the case file of this box, and the evidence of this box." Li Chengqian said: "This is what you have committed since you established the bank. Where is Emperor Gao far away? Does it really mean that people will not find out what he has done? Wishful thinking!"
