Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 75
This matter is not easy to handle, and people are not easy to save.

However, if Lai Junchen can be allowed to make a move and pack Xue Shao into a loyal minister, there is still a turning point.

Shen Sanwen hurried to visit the upstart Lai Junchen.

This time, Junchen didn't have the low profile he had before.

He has already been granted the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, and half of his foot has stepped into the threshold of the prime minister.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to a noble rank."

Lai Junchen was very happy to see the gift he brought.

"What is the son-in-law doing?"

"I heard that your lord is trying Xue Yi's treason case. His younger brother Xue Shao is an old friend of mine. He is just a scholar. He is loyal. He admires the Queen Mother very much. It is absolutely impossible for him to commit treason. Sanwen came here just to inquire about the case. "

Lai Junchen nodded, "Don't worry, son-in-law, Lai will handle this matter carefully. If Xue Shao is really innocent, I will definitely not let him suffer innocent injustice."

Didn't expect it to be so easy.

Shen Sanwen thanked him again and again, and left from the mansion.

As soon as he left, Kang Shun couldn't sit still.

"Xue Shao committed the crime of treason, how does the adoptive father plan to exonerate him?"

Lai Junchen sneered, "Why do you want to exonerate him?"

"Here, you are not agreeing to the son-in-law."

"I just promised him to handle it carefully. Is he not guilty? As the younger brother of the traitor, this is a crime. It's not easy to handle this matter, and it's not surprising that it didn't work out."

"Isn't this offending the consort?"

"It's not a bad thing to offend. I work for the queen mother. If Xue Shao is exonerated because of taking so much money from him, will the queen mother still trust me? As a courtier, the more friendly you are with the dignitaries in the court, the more the queen mother will be." Be on the lookout."

"What if the son-in-law takes revenge?"

"That's not a big deal. He dare not let the Queen Mother know about it. If it's Princess Taiping coming, I have to think about it as a father. It's just a son-in-law, he can still find flowers."

Kang Shun was also speechless.

Hurry up and pass this news to Shen Sanwen.

Shen Sanwen was furious when he received the news.

This white-eyed wolf wants to repay his kindness with revenge, and he also intends to use me as his stepping stone.

The princess just comforted him lightly, "The son-in-law has already predicted this, Xue Shao's crime is unforgivable, why force him."

"But, I still want to save him." Shen Sanwen could hear what the princess meant. She didn't want to save Xue Shao. If treason could get rid of the crime and let people take chances on treason, it would be a big trouble. There are no exceptions.

The princess was speechless, "Why do you have to save him?"

"How kind he is to me. If I can save him, I can't give up."

The princess obviously didn't intend to make suggestions, "Then you have to think about it."

Wow.

It doesn't matter to me.

I married a principled princess!
Kang Shun served Lai Junchen by his side, and Lai Junchen's subordinates were somewhat in awe of him. He went to the sky prison where Xue Shao was imprisoned, all the way unimpeded.

Kang Shun just came to deliver some food to Xue Shao. After all, such a noble son would have some problems with eating and drinking when he came to the prison.

"Mr. Xue, here are some foods, I hope you don't dislike them." Kang Shun handed over chicken legs and some meat wine.

"You are Lai Junchen's adoptive son, why did you bring me food?" Xue Shao looked at the young man very kindly.

"It's just that I have heard Mr. Xue's upright name, and I will do my best for him."

"Unexpectedly, Xue Shao was reduced to a prisoner, and someone would miss me, haha." Xue Shao smiled wryly.

"Mr. Xue, why did you say that? There are many people who worry about you. There are still people thinking about you in the prison and working hard for you. Why are you so pessimistic?"

"I don't know who is running for me?" Xue Shao was somewhat puzzled.

"This cannot be said."

"Well, you are young and you can clearly distinguish between good and evil. Why do you want to help the evildoers? When your adoptive father was in the imperial examination, the conviction and closure of the case was disorderly, wantonly killing Zhongliang, do you know?"

"The adoptive father is just a poor man. He also suffered a lot in the world and was oppressed by the powerful. He doesn't want to go back to the past." Kang Shun and Lai Junchen have always depended on each other, and they have affection after getting along for a long time.

"He has suffered, so he can treat those kind people like this? Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. I didn't expect you to be so indiscriminate. Take the food away. I don't want your things, and you don't have to come in the future." Xue Shao scolded angrily.

"Why are you so ignorant?" This man is a hard rock.

Xue Shao made a cold face and did not respond.

"Someone is running around for your life, but you don't love yourself so much, I'm afraid you will starve to death before anyone saves you. If you want to die, I will give you a knife, and you will kill yourself." so as not to harm others or himself." Kang Shun didn't want to give him face.

"Hmph, your adoptive father is corrupt, accepting bribes and breaking the law. If I get out of prison like this, I might as well die in prison. I would rather die."

"You can rest assured that your adoptive father will never save you for what you have committed. You are waiting here to die."

After finishing speaking, Kang Shun left, not understanding why the son-in-law would save this kind of person.

However, before he was released from prison, he still did not forget to tell the cell boss to take good care of Mr. Xue inside if there was no order from his foster father.

With Xue Shao's personality, it is also difficult to make some friends who follow others.

A group of old friends gathered together, all thinking about how to save him.

But the main force will always be a few people. Later, Shen Sanwen simply discussed with Wang Bin and Cui Xuan.

Shen San asked helplessly, "Lai Junchen clearly agreed to me, but he didn't intend to rescue Brother Xue. Judging from the attitude of the princess, the queen mother should not be able to ask for grace anywhere."

Wang Bin: "What should I do?"

It is impossible to give some constructive suggestions.

Cui Xuan: "In the past, Fang Yi loved to conspire against him, but Fang Yizhi was spared because of his meritorious deeds in reporting."

Wang Bin: "However, it is very difficult to forge evidence nowadays, and Xue Shao's temper may not be appreciated."

Shen San asked: "I thought about it too, but I was just worried that Lai Junchen would obstruct it."

Wang Bin: "It's inappropriate to do this, not to mention whether the queen mother believes it or not, if you bear this reputation, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him."

Cui Xuan: "It's too difficult to get rid of the crime, so it's better to plead guilty. The Empress Dowager's matter is only for the sake of establishing her prestige. If Xue Shao can make a contribution, maybe she can go three thousand miles first, and then she can be exempted from punishment."

Shen San asked: "This matter is not easy."

In the end, everyone only discussed such a note.

Xue Shao pleaded guilty on the table, did not investigate his brother's treasonous activities, failed to dissuade him, and died.The empress dowager is benevolent, and the world bows its head. Now that everything is reformed, I hope that the empress dowager can practice the kingly way, govern the country with benevolence, and rule the people with virtue.

Wu Zetian had some thoughts after receiving the confession.

Xue Shao was able to express his sincerity in such a way, but death is inevitable, but life is hard to forgive. Even if he does not kill his head, he will have to be exiled for three thousand miles, and he deserves to die for treason.

Shen Sanwen remonstrated; "I congratulate the Queen Mother."

"Why is there joy?"

"Xue Shao's confession is a good sign. It means that more and more people in the world are submitting to you. I have the courage to intercede for Xue Shao. If those who are willing to dissuade those who rebel can be forgiven, then there will be fewer people who rebel. Many evil deeds of rebellion can be killed in the cradle."

Empress Wu thought it was extremely ridiculous, "It's really ridiculous. If you treat it leniently because of a confession, everyone in the world will rebel that day, and then make this paper of surrender."

Shen San asked, "God has the virtue of being good at life. If one dissuades rebellion or is killed for three thousand miles, then who else will dissuade it. If one person rebels, the whole family can only follow each other."

Empress Wu thought to herself.

Shen Sanwen also remonstrated: "Lai Junchen can try no less than ten cases of treason a day, so hasty, how can it be convincing. If you can avoid death, many people will definitely be willing to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. If you admit it frankly, you can also block it." Live at the mouth of the world."

"But Xue Shao didn't dissuade him."

"This handwriting has only been read by the minister and His Majesty. Xue Shao had answered this situation in his early years. He is a person who would rather be broken than jade, and will definitely not rebel."

It's not good for subordinates to have too many ideas, Empress Wu has to give this son-in-law a hard time, "You have worked so hard for him, maybe you also want to rebel."

Shen San asked with a slight smile, if he wanted to rebel, would there be any loyal people in this world? "No, I just fulfilled the Queen Mother's entrustment."

Empress Wu looked up to the sky and smiled, but she had forgotten about it. She asked Shen Sanwen to save Xue Shao in the early years, and this person was really not a lucky person.

"Just as you said. Xue Shao has done a great job in dissuading him, and he has traveled a thousand miles. The specific handling of treason will be discussed later."

　Thank you for letting you rely on me. The wind and snow are falling into the mortal world. God punishes. Every day is a beginning.

　　Excuse me, have you seen my recommendation ticket?
