God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 254 Treason (Part [-])
In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengqian had not yet gone to court.

All civil and military officials are discussing.

"I heard that a large number of people were arrested in the sky prison last night. I don't know what crime they committed."

"I don't understand. It was General Cheng who led the arrest. There must be a reason for doing this."

"General Cheng has become more and more prestigious since he became a general! You can arrest people at will!"

"You can't talk nonsense about this, it would be bad if people overheard it."

"Perhaps it is the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"It's hard to say, the behavior of His Royal Highness makes us unable to understand!"

……

These people have nothing to do, but they are talking nonsense.

They didn't calm down until Li Chengqian's arrival.

I saw Li Chengqian walking towards the dragon chair in a majestic manner. Today is the fourth day that he will be in charge of the Tang Dynasty, and there are three more days before Li Shimin will be back.

But these three days are enough for him to toss.

I saw him slowly sitting on the dragon chair, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also sat down behind the curtain.

Xiao Huangmen yelled: "Go up to court!"

"See Your Royal Highness!"

All the ministers waited to salute, but at this time Li Shimin was behind and did not come out, so the ministers did not know whether he was there, so they did not salute.

"Get up!"

Li Chengqian said straight.

At this time, the ministers got up, and Zhang Liang came to report: "His Royal Highness, since the assessment of our dynasty, many officials have been demoted or lost their posts. As a result, we are now very short of manpower. Many cases With the backlog down, the progress of things has become very slow, so I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to suspend the assessment and wait until there are enough people to conduct the assessment!"

To put it bluntly, Zhang Liang wanted to procrastinate, but Li Chengqian hadn't looked for him yet, so he took the initiative to post it.

So Li Chengqian shouted fiercely: "Zhang Liang, you are guilty!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and Zhang Liang was even more at a loss. Why did you ask him if he could convict?What's going on here?He's here to make suggestions, and the assessment has nothing to do with him, so he's not guilty.

"His Royal Highness, what is the crime of the minister!?"

Zhang Liang was also at a loss and said so.

At this time, Pei Ji also came out and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is still in the rear. It seems wrong for you to do this! Everything must be based on evidence. In this way, Zhang Liang will be convicted, and what crime has he committed?"

Li Chengqian said coldly:

"Are you questioning the king!?"

Li Chengqian's words almost made Pei Ji swallow, which made him speechless.Say yes, it seems wrong, say no, he is questioning.No answer is right!

So he felt a bit wronged by himself, who made Li Chengqian the prince?

"His Royal Highness, I didn't mean that! Nor did I mean that!"

"Hmph, I don't need you to question this king's decision, someone, come and take Zhang Liang down for me!"

Li Chengqian suddenly called out.

Then someone detained Zhang Liang.

At this time, everyone was at a loss, especially Li Shimin who was behind the curtain.

He glanced at Empress Changsun, and then kept shaking his head. He actually wanted to go out at this time, but he said that the entire court would be handed over to Li Chengqian, so it was obviously not credible to go out at this time.

"Why did His Royal Highness detain me? Could it be that I was impeached before? I was also punished at that time. What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

Zhang Liang couldn't figure out why he was arrested.That's about all I can think of.

"Bold Zhang Liang, he dared to privately accept his adopted son in an attempt to make a fortune!"

When Li Chengqian said this, everyone was taken aback, what?Rebellion is no small crime.

Pei Ji came out at this time and said: "His Royal Highness, do you have evidence? Don't wrong a good person! It's chilling!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, how could I rebel?"

Zhang Liang's expression at this time was as if he had been wronged.

"Injustice? You ask him what he did!"

Li Chengqian didn't care and said directly.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Liang, because from his expression, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"What's wrong with me adopting a son? Who said you can't adopt a son?"

Zhang Liang wanted to refute.

The ministers also felt that this was really nothing.One thing everyone will do!

But Li Chengqian's words made them completely shut up.

"Zhang Liang is only in his 40s. Have you ever seen a son older than him?"

This rhetorical question made everyone dumbfounded.

Li Shimin also stood up from his seat, because it was too unbelievable, taking in a foster son who was older than himself, and it was possible to become a big brother, but being a foster son seemed unreasonable!What is this operation.

"Your Majesty, sit down first and see what Gao Ming has to say."

Empress Changsun hurriedly advised.

"Alright, I want to see what good things Zhang Liang has done!"

"His Royal Highness, it doesn't seem to be a problem, does it? You accept the adopted son if you like me, how do you say I rebelled?"

Zhang Liang said.

In his opinion, this is really nothing.

"Nothing? Hmph! Your adoptive son's acceptance is too abnormal. A total of 130 people have been taken in, and the number is still increasing. Moreover, the identities of these people seem to be very special, and they all have unique skills. I have a booklet here. If you I have a bad memory, you can take a look!"

Li Chengqian threw the booklet on the ground, Zhang Liang picked it up, his face changed drastically.

It seems that there is a problem.

The few ministers who wanted to speak for him chose to be dumb at this time, and they chose to be wise and protect their lives.You can't speak at this time, otherwise you will be questioned on the spot and cause trouble, these people are fine.

"His Royal Highness, this doesn't seem to prove anything, does it!?"

Zhang Liang is still struggling here.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that more than 130 adoptive sons have been accepted at once, and they all have unique skills. What will they do next?In fact, it is quite obvious.

But Zhang Liang is still doing the final struggle.

"Can't prove anything? It's so obvious! Can't prove anything? Do you want me to charge everyone up? Are you pleading guilty?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked by this, what!Could it be that Li Chengqian asked Cheng Yaojin to arrest everyone yesterday? It turned out that all the people who were arrested were Zhang Liang's adopted sons...

More than 100 people, this number is really scary!It has already caught up with more than half of the people in the court.With such care, one has to doubt it!
These and other issues have surfaced.People suddenly realized that Zhang Liang might not feel well now.

"His Royal Highness! I have a clear conscience!"

If Zhang Liang doesn't admit it, that's fine, Li Chengqian will definitely let him admit it.

"Okay, then I'll let you give up! General Cheng!"

"Yes! I understand! Your Royal Highness!"

Cheng Yaojin then shouted: "Come on, bring them in!"

With a swipe, everyone's eyes turned to the door. Who will come in this moment?
