The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2062

Li Chengqian closed his eyes and sighed.

"Uncle made it difficult for me." Li Chengqian said in a low voice.

"It's all the old minister's fault. The old minister is willing to die for His Majesty." Changsun Wuji said.

Changsun Wuji came to the Lizheng Palace without his official hat, and he knew in his heart that this matter involved himself, so it would be difficult for him to end well. Before he came, he was already prepared in his heart.

Get ready to die.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, uncle doesn't have to die."

"Bold minister, what does Your Majesty intend?" Changsun Wuji raised his head and asked.

Li Chengqian's attitude made Changsun Wuji a little panicked, he is not afraid of anything now, he can finish it, but the Changsun's family can't.

If he could use his death to protect the Changsun family, then he would undoubtedly be willing.

I was afraid that Li Chengqian would treat the eldest grandson's family like he treated the Zheng family and the Wang family.

The Tian family doesn't have any family affection at all, let alone the royal relatives.

If His Majesty Li Er was in power, Changsun Wuji would not have these worries in his heart, because since the Zhenguan Dynasty, the emperor has always treated meritorious officials kindly, and Dang Renhong survived such a big incident back then, so he saved his life .

But standing in front of him was not his brother-in-law, but his nephew.

It is no longer the Zhenguan Dynasty, but the Yonghui Dynasty.

Li Chengqian sighed: "In this case, I didn't intend to let anyone go from the beginning. Uncle also knows that the bank is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and the officials involved in this case are just greedy for money from the bank? No , They are digging the foundation of our Great Tang! Uncle, you are too!"

When he said this, Li Chengqian's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and it was no longer as complicated as before. In the ruthlessness, there was still clarity.

Because Li Chengqian already knew what to do about it.

Even his own uncle.

Even if his mother came from the eldest grandson's family, he couldn't let it go. In the choice between the eldest grandson's family and the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian believed that his mother's queen would definitely choose Datang!

"From the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, every step of the Tang Dynasty has been very difficult. During the reign of Wude, the four directions were uncertain, and the criminal law in the court was also full of mistakes. Thanks to the disdainful efforts of generations, it finally stabilized. The situation was broken. During the Zhenguan period, the imperial court took drastic measures and finally gave the people of the Tang Dynasty a peace. In the Yonghui year, I will never allow anyone to use any means to destroy this hard-won situation! Even the heroes of the past! They are indeed for Datang has paid a lot, but this is not the reason why they harmed Datang and the people of Datang!" Li Chengqian said firmly: "Since they were officials, worked for the court, and worked for Datang, then in their hearts, they will You should have this awareness!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's tone, Changsun Wuji's heart became colder and colder.

At the same time, there is a trace of relief in my heart.

Although Li Chengqian acted fiercely, his starting point was also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people. Such an emperor can be regarded as a good emperor. , certainly cannot be regarded as the Holy Master.

"Your Majesty, at this point, the guilty minister has no other requests, but I beg Your Majesty to let the eldest grandson's family go." The eldest grandson Wuji knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Chengqian.

"The eldest grandson's family will not be like the Wang family. After all, the eldest grandson's family is the mother's family, and you are my uncle." Li Chengqian put away the cruelty in his eyes and said to his eldest grandson Wuji: "I see that my uncle is also very old. Now, sometimes it is inevitable to be confused, so let's not get involved in government affairs in the future."

The implication is that Changsun Wuji, the first rank in the dynasty, was dismissed by Li Chengqian in this way.

This means to let the eldest grandson Wuji take care of himself at home.

"As for my uncle's title," Li Chengqian said, "Uncle will still keep it for himself. I'm tired, please come back first."

Of course, this matter is not over yet, for the rest, Li Chengqian plans to order the three provinces to draft an imperial decree and send it out.

Dealing with the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson's family, this can even show Li Chengqian's attitude. Even if his own family is involved in this matter, he will still not let it go.

"Yes, guilty minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Changsun Wuji even sounded as if he had aged ten years.

The glory of the eldest grandson's family may not be coming to an end.

Changsun Wuji left the Xuanzheng Hall, while Li Chengqian stood in the Xuanzheng Hall, staring at the back of Changsun Wuji for a long time.

Up to now, no one wants this result, but the involvement of the eldest grandson's family in this case can be said to have a great impact, and it really makes Li Chengqian feel cold.

Li Chengqian sighed alone in the Xuanzheng Hall.

The court officials may think that he is cruel and would kill people without blinking an eye, but why would he think so.

What he is doing now is all for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty.

It is true that emperors are lonely.

Li Chengqian walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall, stood on the steps outside the hall, and looked at the huge Daming Palace. There were many people in the palace, but in Li Chengqian's view, the palace was still empty.

"Lin'an." Li Chengqian called out.

"The servant is here." Lin'an trotted from the side to Li Chengqian's side.

"Let's order the three provinces to draw up an edict." Li Chengqian said: "Taiwei, Sun Wuji, chief minister of Tongping Zhang."

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, let out a breath, and continued.

"Old and weak, the imperial court thought of his past achievements, and allowed him to resign from office to retire, to take care of his old age, and to preserve his title of Duke of Zhao."

"Yes." Lin'an replied.

"There is another decree." Li Chengqian said: "Shangdang County Lord, Honglu Shaoqing and grandson Chang, participated in the Qianzhuang case, blamed, dismissed from office, and seized the title. Ankang County Bo, Changzhou Inspector Sun Jun, participated in the Qianzhuang case, dismissed from office, Seizing the title. Sun Yan, the magistrate of Ancheng County and the magistrate of Changshui County, participated in the case of the bank and was dismissed from office to seize the title. Sun Zhan, Chief Inspector of Xiangzhou, participated in the Qianzhuang case, dismissed from office, Jincheng County Son, Taichang Shaoqing, Sun Run, won the title, and hereby."

Among the twelve sons of Changsun Wuji, those who were released as officials were more or less involved in the case of the bank, and the few in Chang'an City were also affected by Chiyu.

Only a few unremarkable people who worked in Chang'an escaped this catastrophe.

Because it has nothing to do with them.

As for the eldest son, Changsun Chong, at least he still has the title of Captain Consort, which cannot be deprived. After the death of Changsun Wuji, the title of Duke Zhao will also be inherited by Changsun Chong.

Changsun Chong married the daughter of His Majesty Li Er, who is also Li Chengqian's half-sister, Princess Changle.
