Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 17 Li You Escorted to Beijing
Changsun Wuji and others bid farewell and left, leaving only Li Er, father and son in Liangyi Hall.

"Gao Ming! My brother has something to ask you, I hope you can tell the truth to my brother." Li Er said.

"Yeah, just ask, Chengqian will answer truthfully." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er nodded and said, "What's the matter with Hegan Chengji? Is he also from Wei Ting?"

"Hegan Chengji is not from Wei Ting." Li Chengqian said.

He was telling the truth. On the surface, He Gan Chengji was the dead man of his East Palace, he was Li Chengqian's man, but secretly it was Qi Wang Li You'an's eyeliner by his side.

To be precise, it should be the pawn that Yin Hongzhi sent to Li Chengqian's side.

"No? Why did Hegan Chengji assassinate you, the crown prince?" Li Er asked again.

"I really don't know about this, but before he died, he said he was following orders, and as for whose orders he took, I don't know." Li Chengqian said.

Of course, these words were all made up by Li Chengqian, and Hegan Chengji never said such words until his death.

Now He Gan Chengji might already be rotten to death, not to mention the matter of evidence collection, anyway, there is no proof of death.

"It's not Wei Ting's person, it's not a play you put on yourself, the prince! You deliberately planted others! Maybe you want to cover up some ulterior purpose." Li Tai said with a strange air.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai, but said nothing, anyway, Li You was about to be escorted to Beijing, and when the time came, after some interrogation, Li You would definitely confess Hegan Chengji.

This can completely wash away any ulterior secrets he has.

He is also very helpless now, if it is not necessary to maintain the father-son relationship between him and Li Er, he would have given Li Tai a good look.

Even if Li Tai's left and right arms cannot be taken down, at least half of the people around him must be taken down.

"Enough!" Seeing Li Tai like this, Li Er felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Even if there was an unpleasant quarrel between brothers, they shouldn't be so tit-for-tat in front of his father.

Don't you even know how to act?

Being scolded by Li Er, Li Tai immediately became more honest, but his eyes still cast a provocative look on Li Chengqian.

Li Er wanted to say something to ease the embarrassing situation, but Wang Yuan hurried in and reported to Li Er.

"Everyone! Qi Wang Li You has been taken to the capital and is currently being held in Dali Temple. What do you think about it?" Wang Yuan asked.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, in this way, he could explain who Hegan Chengji really was, and everyone's eyes would not be fixed on him, the crown prince.

As soon as Li You entered the capital, the matter related to Hegan Chengji's assassination would be transferred from him to Qi Wang Li You.

"Let Sun Fujia properly interrogate Li You, a rebellious son, to see who else is in collusion with him." Li Er was very furious about Li You's rebellion.

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order and ordered other eunuchs to convey Li Er's meaning to Sun Fujia.

"Father, Li Shangshu and Liu Shangshu put down the rebellion of King Qi so quickly. It is a great achievement! It should be rewarded." Li Chengqian said.

For the suppression of King Qi's rebellion, Cao Du Xingmin, the soldier of King Li You of Qi, made the greatest contribution. He led people to capture Li You and sent him directly to Chang'an.

At this time, Li Ji and Liu Dewei's brigade was still on the way to assemble. After all, it took time to assemble the army.

Li Chengqian knew all these things clearly in his heart.

"Prince! The two ministers haven't arrived in Qizhou yet? It was Qizhou soldiers Cao Du Xingmin and others under King Qi's command who led the righteous men and officers from Pingling County to rebel against Ping." Wang Yuan said.

"I never thought that there are such loyal people in Qizhou. It's really a blessing for me in Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"Li You is a rebellious son. I have warned him not to get close to villains, so as not to cause trouble, but he just doesn't listen and insists on acting willfully."

"Nowadays it's going against the grain, so it's natural that everyone will betray their relatives, and everyone will be punished!" Li Eryi said dissatisfiedly while clapping the case.

For Li You, Li Er is far from being a favorite, and compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhige three, it is a world of difference.

Li Er was more angry with Li You for being disobedient and insisting on making troubles, but there was no trace of father's sadness for his son.

"Father, Du Xingmin and others have contributed to capturing Li You! My son thinks that Du Xingmin and others should be rewarded for their meritorious service." Li Chengqian said.

Needless to say, Li Chengqian, Li Er will also reward these heroes who countered the rebellion, otherwise, it's not that they have chilled their hearts.

If there is a rebellion in the future, who will stand up to put down the rebellion? It is precisely because of rewards for meritorious deeds that people like Du Xingmin and He Gan Chengji will betray the old master without hesitation in exchange for glory rich.

"Great! How do you think Li You should be dealt with? How should Du Xingmin and others award rewards?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty can make arbitrary decisions on this matter!" Li Chengqian said.

"Brother just wants to hear your opinion! As the crown prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if you encounter such a situation in the future, what should you do?" Li Erdao.

Li Er now just wants to find out how the prince's level of governance is.

"My son thinks that Li You should be demoted as a commoner, that Li You and his fellow conspirators should be killed, and that the rest of the people can forget the past, and then, Li You will be buried with the ceremony of a prince."

"Give Du Xingmin the governorship of Bazhou, the title of Duke of Nanyang County, and those who have contributed to the counter-rebellion together with Du Xingmin, and will be rewarded according to the degree of merit."

"I implore my father to issue an edict to change Pingling County to Quanjie County, in order to reward the righteous men in Pingling County for resisting King Qi's rebellion and reduce taxes." Li Chengqian saluted Li Er.

These are all related matters that he saw in the history books of later generations about the handling of Li You's rebellion case at that time.

Li You was ordered to die in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ouchi, and Du Xingmin and others who planned to capture Li You alive also made it to the top.

"Chengqian, you did a good job!" Li Er said approvingly, he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's handling.

Naturally, Li You's rebellion could not escape his death. After Li Chengqian's death, Li Chengqian was able to give him a standard of state ceremonial burial, which also made Li Er very satisfied.

In any case, Li You is Li Tang's royal family, even if he was given death for treason, his burial should not be shabby.

This is a big matter that concerns the face of the royal family.

"Thank you for your compliment!" Li Chengqian said.

"Order Zhongshu Sheng to draft an imperial edict, and after Dali Temple hears the case of Qi Wang Li You's rebellion, Li You will be demoted to a common man and given to die in Da Nei Shi Sheng."

"And send people to pass the edict, ordering Li Ji and Liu Dewei to return to the government, and ordering them to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"The meritorious minister who captured Li You this time, and other things, follow the prince's instructions!" Li Er ordered.

"Promise!" Wang Yuan took the order and withdrew from Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian saw that there was nothing to do with him here, so he also got up and left.
