Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 278 Punishment
"Stop messing around! Your affair with Yang Yuzhi has already violated the civil strife in my Tang law. This is a heinous crime."

"What kind of punishment will there be? I think we shouldn't have to discuss it with the princess in detail!" Li Chengqian said.

He will not mess around with Princess Yongjia on the word freedom.

"You..." Princess Yongjia was very angry, she was her own aunt, how could he bend his elbow to help others.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian is only the crown prince, and her emperor's elder brother has the final say in this Tang Dynasty. If this nephew doesn't help her, then she will go to Yuhua Palace to ask His Majesty Li Er to make decisions for her.

"Chengqian! Since you won't help me, then I have no choice but to go to Yuhua Palace to find my brother! Farewell!" Princess Yongjia got up and left immediately after saying that.

How could Li Chengqian follow her wishes, and this East Palace was a place where she could come and leave whenever she wanted.

If Princess Yongjia were to leave the East Palace like this, no one would be afraid of him as a prince in the future.

"Presumptuous! Where is the East Palace where you are a widow? Come whenever you want, and leave whenever you want." Li Chengqian jumped at the case.

The guards outside the palace rushed in when they heard the movement, which shocked Princess Yongjia.

"Chengqian, what do you mean? Don't forget, I'm your aunt." Princess Yongjia turned around and asked?
"You have to keep yourself safe. If you understand the rules, you are still the widow's aunt. If you mess around, then the widow is the prince!" Li Chengqian said.

If you don't show some color, you don't know what the rules are. Don't think that you can do whatever you want because of your seniority, that's impossible.

"I am the princess of Tang Dynasty. Even if I have committed any crimes, it is not up to you to deal with me. Only the emperor can decide my affairs." Princess Yongjia said.

She is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and not just anyone can dispose of her if she makes a mistake. In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Er has the right to dispose of her, not even Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince.

Therefore, Princess Yongjia is confident!He was really not afraid of what Li Chengqian would do to her.

"I will report this matter to my father, but before that, please rest in peace in the palace." Li Chengqian said.

Although Princess Yongjia cannot be dealt with, there is still no problem in keeping her in custody.

"Chengqian, you want to put me under house arrest. I'm your aunt. You can't do this." Princess Yongjia was in a hurry. She wanted to enjoy life to the fullest. How could she be restrained and lose her freedom.

Besides, she originally planned to go to Yuhua Palace in person to intercede with Li Er. As long as Li Er is soft-hearted, she will be fine.

If she is put under house arrest, who knows what unfavorable things will happen to her, now Princess Yongjia finally panicked.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you invite the princess to go down to rest, and order someone to take care of you. If there is any mistake, I will ask you." Li Chengqian said coldly.

"No!" The guard took the order, turned back to Princess Yongjia and said, "Princess, please! I also follow orders, so please don't embarrass me."

"Hmph!" Princess Yongjia flicked her sleeves, stomped her feet, and led the maid to her place under the guard of the guards.

"How does Your Highness plan to deal with this matter?" Dou Fengjie asked.

"This matter can only be decided by my father, my father. I will do my best to punish Princess Yongjia."

"Not only that, but I also want to unite the ministers of the court, as well as the nobles, princes and princesses, to write a memorial to His Majesty, demanding that Princess Yongjia be severely punished." Li Chengqian said.

Zhao Jie and Dou Fengjie had nothing to say, it was already very good for the crown prince to do this, he couldn't ask for too much.

Even if the emperor was unwilling to punish Princess Yongjia severely in the end, they would still be grateful for what the prince had done from the bottom of their hearts.

"Dou Fengjie, what are you going to do next?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty intends to get married with the princess. After such a big incident, my Dou family will have no face to stay in Chang'an anymore. I will apply to His Majesty to return to Qinzhou." Dou Fengjie said.

Dou Fengjie is the governor of Qinzhou, so it is reasonable to return to Qinzhou.

"Resign!" Zhao Jie got up and saluted.

"Resign!" Zhao Jie left, and Dou Fengjie didn't need to stay here, so he also got up and left the East Palace.

After Dou Fengjie and Zhao Jie left the East Palace, Li Chengqian immediately joined the court ministers, princes, grandchildren, nobles, etc., and went to the memorial to request that Princess Yongjia be severely punished.

Here, Li Chengqian and others jointly signed a letter to Li Er to severely punish Princess Yongjia. On the other hand, Dou Fengjie also divorced Princess Yongjia, officially dissolving the relationship between husband and wife.

In Yuhua Palace, Li Er received a memorial from Chang'an. He didn't expect that Li Chengqian would unite so many people to submit a letter to him, requesting that Princess Yongjia be severely punished.

The story of Princess Yongjia and Yang Yuzhi was rumored in Chang'an, and Li Er had known it for a long time, but Princess Yongjia was his own sister after all.

He is a little emotionally inclined to Princess Yongjia, and he is a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian for uniting so many people on the table.

The incest rumors between Princess Yongjia and Yang Yuzhi are well known throughout the world, not only making the Dou family lose face, but also the Li Tang royal family's face.

These days Li Er has been thinking about how to deal with this matter, and with Li Zhi blowing the wind, Li Er did not intend to delve into this matter.

But how to give an explanation to the Dou family, without being gossiped by others, and at the same time show his selflessness, this really made Li Er difficult.

Fortunately, Jin Wang Li Zhi did not disappoint him and gave him an idea.

"Father! My son thought that father could make a fuss about Yuzhi's cousin's death. This time, Dou Fengjie led people to break into the aunt's mourning hall and lynched Yang Yuzhi to death."

"This is a fault in itself! No matter how wrong Yang Yuzhi is, he is still a relative of the emperor. How can he be allowed to be executed by Dou Fengjie without permission," Li Zhi said.

Li Er's eyes lit up, Li Zhi was right, no matter how wrong Yang Yuzhi was, it would not be Dou Fengjie's turn to use lynching, and it should be handed over to the relevant departments.

"Children, you are right, and I have the same intention, so what do you think should be done?" Li Er asked, this is to test Li Zhi.

"My minister thought that Dou Fengjie should be punished severely for his private execution and killing of the royal family this time, but Nian forgave him for the sake of excusability, and let him go back to Qinzhou."

"In this way, aunt will be fine!" Li Zhi said.

"Zhinu, you are becoming more and more mature. With you assisting Cheng Qian by his side in the future, Datang will last forever." Li Er laughed.

On the same day, Li Er issued an edict to condemn Dou Fengjie's indiscriminate use of lynching for causing Yang Yu's death. He should have been dealt with according to the law, but he thought it was justifiable, so he no longer pursued it, and asked him to return to Qinzhou to be the governor.

As for the punishment for Princess Yongjia, she would be reprimanded, grounded for several months, and beheaded her maids and servants, which was regarded as punishment.

Through this incident, Li Chengqian saw clearly who was on his side among the ministers in the court.
