Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 163 Double Reed
On the pier, Ah Yue, who was pulling Sun Xiangfu’s clothes, looked blankly at the crowds beside the pier. In her perception, Yangzhou and Luoyang were already the largest and most populous cities in the world, much, many, many times larger than Lingnan , but I didn't expect that compared with Chang'an, it really pales in comparison. There are so many people on the pier alone that they occupy her entire line of sight. How many people are there!

"The hero is back..."

"Xu Xian is back..."

With the cheers of 10,000+ people, Sun Xiangfu couldn't find his way to the north. Chang Sun Chong played so well!With so many extras, how much is the appearance fee!

"Husband."

"Shi'er."

On the edge of the pier, Yu Xiu'er rushed towards Sun Xiangfu who had just landed, ignoring the defenses of men and women, and threw her delicate body into Sun Xiangfu's arms.

"Oh~~~"

The scene of 10,000+ people booing was really like a roaring tsunami. The left and right guard soldiers who rushed over were all frightened by the noise, thinking that there was chaos!
"Hehe, the scene is big enough, but I don't know whether to bluff the ministers." Sun Xiangfu whispered something in Yu Xiu'er's ear.

"Then why did my husband cause such a big trouble again, and let so many people worry about you!" Yu Xiuer's tone was not without blame.

"Uh, what's on my mind, you may not understand now, but you will understand later, what is the emperor going to do with me?" Sun Xiangfu pretended to be relaxed.

"The news from the palace yesterday is that she is going to death row." When Yu Xiu'er raised her head again, she was already in tears.

"Death prison? It seems that Wang Lin is going to succeed this time." Sun Xiangfu smiled lightly, then turned his head to look at the crowd, and released Yu Xiu'er from his arms.

"Thank you, folks, folks here to welcome you. I, Sun Zhengming, have done something that violates the laws of the country, so I should be punished by the laws of the country. Don't complain about me, folks. We left earlier, let's go home!" Chao Seeing everyone holding their fists, Sun Xiangfu raised his chest and shouted loudly.

"No, Mr. Sun is doing it for the country and the people, those Japanese people should be killed..."

A shout came from the boat behind the pier. At this moment, a group of ragged people entered the stage. According to Zhang Sun Chong's arrangement, the following should be their show.

"Fathers and folks in Chang'an, the Japanese people are obedient on the surface, but they secretly kidnap the people of Tang Dynasty as slaves. We are the people who escaped with the help of Master Sun. Those Japanese animals..."

This actor had to add chicken legs to his box lunch. He told the whole story vividly, and the audience friends who listened to it burst into tears. In fact, the people who came to watch did not even have a [-]% trust. The story, come to watch the excitement.

Today, more than 2000 Tang people who claimed to be rescued from the Japanese people by Sun Xiangfu told them about the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the Japanese people. Whether people believe it or not, anyway, these people think that they have seen it with their own eyes, so they believe it.

Under such powerful emotions, everyone felt that Sun Xiangfu was too wronged, so after one of them took the lead, everyone waved their fists and shouted, "Sun Zhengming saved people from crime, and defeated the Japanese thief. "

Then, under the leadership of Tuo, this group of people walked towards the gate of the imperial city. Due to the large number of people, they called Wei Shuxie, Li Gongyan, Feng Zhi and others who came to escort Sun Xiangfu to Dali Temple. The servants whom Dai and the others met all blocked back to the imperial city.

"Zhengming, you are making too much trouble!"

Wei Shuxie and others knew that Sun Xiangfu's team had made a big move in Chang'an, but they didn't expect it to be so big. 10,000+ people came to the imperial city to ask for their orders. This is to force the emperor to pardon him!
"Hehe, there's no way, the kid is afraid of death, so it's better to be safe."

"People like you will never die."

Wei Shuxie pointed to Sun Xiangfu, and he and Li Gongyan walked towards the crowd quickly. According to the system, they should go to see the emperor as soon as they return to Chang'an.

Jinshuimen Wharf is on the side of the imperial city, so in less than a quarter of an hour, these people came to the gate of the imperial city led by Toto and the actors. He knelt outside the cordon and shouted slogans into the imperial city.

"What's the commotion outside?"

Just as Li Shimin asked the exit, a general standing in the hall hurried in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the gate of the imperial city, calling for grievances for Sun Zhengming."

"What? Hundreds of thousands?"

There was an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the officials of the seven sects and five surnames. They all felt that something was wrong, and they all winked at each other.

This kind of large-scale people's petition was the first time in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin didn't need to ask everyone's opinions, and said directly, "Everyone, please follow me to the top of the city to see the situation."

Soon, Li Shimin led a group of ministers to the city wall of the imperial city. Looking around, there was a huge area, and there were really tens of thousands of people. Seeing so many people speak for Sun Xiangfu, those who just invited The minister who beheaded Sun Xiangfu did not dare to speak rashly, and even the aristocratic family did not dare to cause public anger.

"Xuan Cheng, how should I make a decision on this matter?"

Li Shimin directly chose Wei Zheng's general, because he is now a doctor of imperial history, in charge of speech officials and court atmosphere.

"Uh, this, I believe that the hearts of the people are irreversible. Regarding Sun Zhengming's matter, no matter whether there are other secrets or not, His Majesty should issue a decree to pardon him first, so as to temporarily appease the hearts of the people, so as not to change the situation. As for the specific handling, we can discuss it later."

Well, there is a saying that there is a leader of officials, even if there are officials who want to hold on to it, everyone has said that the pardon of Sun Zhengming is to compromise with the hearts of the people. How to do it will be discussed later.

And what Sun Xiangfu wanted to achieve was for the emperor to say in public that he would not kill him, and he did not believe that Li Shimin dared to be an emperor who did not believe what he said.

"All the love ministers, do you have any objection to Xuan Cheng's words?"

So what if there is an objection?Being framed by so many people, if you have any objections, you must first find a way to settle the matter in front of you. If there is no way, don't open your mouth if you have objections.

"I agree with Wei Xuancheng's words." Fang Xuanling and other ministers who did not want Sun Xiangfu to die came out one after another at this time.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal..." Not only Sun Xiangfu's relatives, but also those ministers of the seven families and five surnames who knew the matter had developed to the present and could only deal with it in this way also followed Daliu.

"However, Sun Zhengming's violation of the national law is an unforgivable crime. You are forcing me to disregard the national law!"

Well, at this juncture, it's Li Shimin's play, but you ministers agreed to forgive me, so don't come to persuade me to do repeated things at that time.

"Your Majesty, the hearts of the people should be the most important thing." Wei Zheng spoke again, and Fang Xuanling and others echoed again, helping Li Shimin to sing this play more perfectly.

"In this case, I have no choice but to issue an order to pardon Sun Zhengming's death penalty for the time being, and the secretary supervises to draw up the order." After Li Shimin said, Gao Shilian, the secretary supervisor, appeared on the list. Due to historical changes, he has not been demoted. Therefore, the secretary The supervisor is still doing it steadily.

"Sun Zhengming, the supervisor of the herdsman, was eager to save the people and violated the laws of the country. I thought he was dedicated to the people and pardoned his crimes. However, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the crime of living is hard to forgive. Now he is dismissed from his official position, removed from his status as a royal retainer, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned. Dali Temple, tortured in shackles for a hundred days."

After all, Li Shimin strode down the palace wall under the praise of "Your Majesty is wise" by the ministers. Later, Gao Shilian will naturally post this imperial edict in the form of an imperial list for the common people to see.

The death penalty was reduced to common people, and the sentence was [-] days in shackles. Hearing this, Qin Qiong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Shimin's back gratefully.

You know, what Wei Zheng originally said was to pardon first, and discuss the specifics later, but Li Shimin directly made specific punishments. Then, it would be difficult for the ministers to discuss the punishment after all. Punishment is a common practice, and further punishment is a credit problem that has been changed day and night. Unintentionally, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin have completed a double reed play.

　Thanks for the reward of Eternal Chaos Truth!On the train back to my hometown in the evening, I received a tip before departure, and I felt very happy, thank you brother!
