Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 227 Disposing of Zhang Liang (1)

"Your Majesty! Ma Zhou, Minister of Zhongshu, Sun Fujia, Minister of Dali Temple, and Di Renjie, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are here to see you!" an eunuch bowed.

Li Chengqian said without raising his head, "Let them in!"

"No!" The eunuch took the order and retreated.

"Officer, what does Your Highness say?" Seeing the eunuch coming out, Sun Fujia hurried forward and asked, among the three, he was the more impatient.

"Lang Jun let you in, please come with me!" The eunuch turned around and left after saying that, Sun Fujia and the three hurriedly followed into the hall.

"See Your Highness!" Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, and Di Renjie saluted Li Chengqian.

"Exemption! A seat!" Li Chengqian put down the brush in his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After thanking the three of them, they walked to the side and sat down.

After the three of them were done, Li Chengqian asked: "The three of you came here, presumably the result of Zhang Liang's rebellion has come to fruition, have you found out the truth?"

"Your Highness! After being interrogated by the ministers and others, Zhang Liang's false son, Gongsun Chang, and the sorcerer Cheng Gongying have confessed. This is their confession. Please read it over, Your Highness." Show it to Li Chengqian.

Sun Fujia hurriedly pulled out the confession of Gongsun Chang, and an eunuch stepped forward to take it, turned around and sent the confession to Li Chengqian and stepped back.

Li Chengqian read the confessions of Gongsunchang and Gongsunchang, and asked a few sentences from time to time, and Ma Zhou answered them one by one. Finally, Ma Zhou simply told Li Chengqian what happened.

"So that's how it is. These two people are greedy for life and afraid of death. After a little scaring, they confessed everything!"

"Apart from the confession, is there any other physical or personal evidence that can prove Zhang Liang's treason?" Li Chengqian asked.

It is difficult to convict Zhang Liang if there is only a confession but no physical or personal evidence. Anyway, Zhang Liang is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

If he blamed others and said that someone framed him, who could do anything to him? Lingyan Pavilion 24 heroes are not so easy to frame.

Of course, if Zhang Liang himself had already confessed, this matter would be easier to handle!

"Your Highness! Apart from the confessions of these two people, there are 200 people that Di Shaoqing took to Anyifang to arrest. I don't know what Di Shaoqing asked." Ma Zhou said.

Di Renjie clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness! After interrogation, these 200 people are Zhang Liang's false sons, and Zhang Liang ordered them to lurk quietly in Anyifang, and there is nothing else! They don't know how many there are."

"Zhang Liang has [-] false sons, and only [-] were found. That means Zhang Liang has [-] false sons who don't know where." Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes!" Di Renjie nodded.

In other words, the other person may not be in Chang'an, or may be lurking in various places in Chang'an city.

"Has Zhang Liang confessed?" Li Chengqian asked.

Without physical evidence or witnesses, as long as Zhang Liang can confess, the case can still be closed.

"Your Highness! Zhang Liang categorically denied the matter of treason. Even when he presented the confessions of these two people, Zhang Liang did not confess. He kept saying that he was wronged." Ma Zhou said.

Ma Zhou told Li Chengqian exactly how Zhang Liang argued.

Li Chengqian frowned, Zhang Liang refused to admit treason, and without evidence, he cannot be convicted of treason.

But if he has no intention of rebellion, why does Zhang Liang want so many "adopted sons" and let them hide secretly in Chang'an.

The three of them waited quietly, waiting for the crown prince's final answer.

"The widow will report this matter to the emperor! The three of you have worked hard for this case! The widow will also report your contributions to the emperor." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian thought for a long time, and finally decided to hand over this matter to Li Er, so that Li Er would have a headache.

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Sun Fujia breathed a sigh of relief. With the prince's words, he was not afraid that His Majesty Li Er would blame him.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Since this is the case, I will not disturb Your Highness! Let me take my leave!" Ma Zhou stood up and said goodbye!
He is the long history of the Prince Jin's mansion, and he is also an important minister in the court. It is inconvenient for him to get too close to the prince. It is a taboo to get too close to the prince.

Seeing that Ma Zhou had left, Sun Fujia also got up and said goodbye. Only Di Renjie did not leave. He is from the East Palace. This is a well-known fact, so there is no problem in staying.

"Your Highness! How do you plan to deal with this matter?" Di Renjie asked.

"The widow has no clue, why not report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty judge!" Li Chengqian said.

"I think that Zhang Liang's rebellion, although there is not enough evidence, but since Gongsun Chang and Gongsun Chang have already confessed, I think Zhang Liang should also have this intention." Di Renjie said.

"What do you mean?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Since there is no way to prove it, and Zhang Liang has the intention of treason, why not just keep doing it and nip the harm in the bud, so as to avoid future troubles." Di Renjie said.

After listening to Di Renjie's words, Li Chengqian understood something.

Li Chengqian said: "Okay! Just do as you said, I will go to meet the emperor right now."

"Resign!" Di Renjie stood up and said goodbye.

Li Chengqian ordered Wang Quan to prepare a chariot, carried him to see His Majesty Li Er, and told Li Er about Zhang Liang.

The next day, early morning.

"Look, everyone. This is the confession of Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying. They have confessed that Zhang Liang conspired with them to rebel. Let's talk about how to deal with this matter." Li Er ordered people to take the confession of Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying. Show it to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

After the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had seen it, Li Er said leisurely, "What do you think about Zhang Liang's rebellion? Let us know what you think."

"Don't be scruples, I want to listen to the truth, don't listen to flattery and compliments, and words against my will! It doesn't matter if you say something wrong, I won't blame you."

All the ministers couldn't tell what His Majesty Li Er was thinking for a while, but His Majesty Li Er talked about this, if they didn't say anything!Not quite right.

If anyone in this Tai Chi Hall could best guess His Majesty Li Er's mind, it must be Situ Changsun Wuji.

Everyone's eyes were on Changsun Wuji, and the auxiliary machine felt the eyes of his colleagues, knowing that if he didn't stand up, no one would dare to speak out.

Therefore, the eldest grandson auxiliary machine must take the lead to make a sample, and demonstrate it to colleagues.

Now is the performance time for Comrade Auxiliary Machine, and all the ministers eagerly asked the auxiliary machine to start his performance.

Even the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was standing in the front, turned his head, looked at his uncle, and looked forward to his wonderful performance.

Li Chengqian knew in his heart that according to the trend of history, Zhang Liang was doomed no matter what, because he violated Li Er's taboo.

It's just that Li Chengqian didn't know whether the first person who took the lead in declaring that he wanted to execute Zhang Liang was his uncle and grandson Wuji.

After all, there is no record in the history books, but it is recorded that the ministers thought that Zhang Liang deserved to die, and only one person stood up to object, saying that there was not enough evidence to kill Zhang Liang.
