Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 338 Xiao Jun
"What's going on?" Xiao Jun, the admonishing doctor, saw that the soldiers of the Jinwu Guards were dragging Lu Wencao, but the other party kept calling me that I should not die, that the saint should spare me, and so on. Xiao Jun felt that something was wrong, so he stopped them to ask .

"Advising the doctor to save me, advising the doctor to save me." After Lu Wencao saw Xiao Jun, like a man drowning in the water, he met a straw and hurriedly shouted, his survival depends on Xiao Jun's help.

This was Lu Wencao's last hope, although he didn't expect Xiao Jun to be able to persuade the emperor to take back his life, at least it would be good to have more hope.

This made him feel as if his ashes rekindled his heart again. It was also his luck that he met Xiao Jun, the admonishing doctor.

If it were someone else, they might not be nosy.

Seeing that the person who came was Xiao Jun, an admonishing doctor, one of the Jinwu guards said: "This man's name is Lu Wencao. He was originally the Marquis of Zuo Wu. Because of guarding himself, he went over the wall and stole things from the Zuo Zangshu store. Don't catch him. The sage became angry out of embarrassment. , ordered him to be executed."

"What? Put to death? This person is just stealing property, and he is also committing the crime of stealing. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, all thieves are not allowed to get fifty lashes and sixty sticks per foot..."

"He is just a thief. Even if he has the crime of self-stealing, he is not guilty of death. How can he be sentenced to death so easily."

"You wait here, I will meet the saint and ask the saint to re-judgment." Xiao Jun said.

"Here, isn't Doctor Xiao embarrassing us! We dare not disobey the will of the saint, so please forgive me!" Jin Wuwei said.

They were the imperial guards guarding the palace, and they were the emperor's personal soldiers. Naturally, they only obeyed the emperor's orders. If the emperor ordered them to execute Lu Wencao directly, they had to do so.

"When the first emperor was alive, he issued an edict that anyone who was sentenced to death could only be executed again and again."

"Let me ask you, can he go through the Dali Temple trial, can he be executed by the Ministry of Punishment?" Xiao Jun asked.

"No, the sage directly ordered the execution." Jinwu Guard said.

"In this case, you should wait here. After I have an audience with the saint, it will not be too late to deal with it. Where is the saint now?" Xiao Jun said.

"The sage is in the Liangyi Hall." The Jinwu guard said.

Xiao Jun walked away, he had already said what he needed to say, he believed that the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard would listen to him and wait here.

Xiao Jun came outside the Hall of Liangyi, and said to the eunuch waiting outside the hall: "I'm here to report to the servants, admonishing doctor Xiao Jun to meet the saint."

"Doctor Xiao is waiting here, I will report right away." The eunuch on the right said, turned and entered the Hall of Liangyi.

"Report to everyone! Admonishing doctor Xiao Jun is asking for an audience outside the hall!" The eunuch saluted.

"Why is he here?" Li Chengqian wondered, "Show him in."

"No!" The eunuch took the order to retreat and came outside the hall.

"The sage declares that the doctor has an audience!"

Xiao Jun tidied up his clothes hastily, and then followed the eunuch into the Hall of Liangyi.

"I admonish the doctor Xiao Jun, see the saint!" Xiao Jun saluted.

"I don't know what's the matter with Xiao Qing coming to see me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The minister came here to advise the sage about Zuo Wuhou's theft by Lu Wencao!" Xiao Jun said.

"Lu Wencao stole Zuo Zangshu's property, and he got all the stolen goods. I have already ordered him to be executed. What are you doing here? Pleading for him?" Li Chengqian frowned, a little dissatisfied.

As the emperor himself, when he executes a prisoner, no one dares to jump out and make irresponsible remarks. What is his majesty?

"Saint, Lu Wencao, as the Marquis of Zuo Wu, had the duty of supervising and inspecting, but he guarded himself and robbed the wall from Zuo Zangshu. It is understandable that he was sentenced."

"However, although Lu Wencao is guilty, he is not guilty of death. It is too serious for the saint to issue an edict to sentence him to death without trial," Xiao Jun said.

"Absurd! Lu Wencao was guarding himself and stealing over the wall. Can't we punish him? Can't we let such a person go." Li Chengqian was furious.

"Lu Wencao's criminal situation is indeed unforgivable. I am afraid that when people in the world hear about it, they will definitely think that a sage despises the law and human life, and let everything be decided by his own anger."

"And money is very important, so you don't need to take human life seriously. Although Lu Wencao deserved his crime, according to the law, Lu Wencao will not be sentenced to death."

"The duty of a minister is to use advice in the name of admonishment, and he dare not refuse to act because of his foolishness." Xiao Jun said.

After being told by Xiao Jun, Li Chengqian calmed down a bit, not to mention, what Xiao Jun said was quite reasonable.

He, Li Chengqian, often said that princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people, and everything should be done fairly according to the law.

If he really killed Lu Wencao today, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for him!

Even if Lu Wencao was killed, nothing would happen, but wouldn't his hard-working image be about to collapse.

What's more, if you think about it carefully, stealing is not a crime that deserves death. Killing someone is a bit too much!
I often talk about the word "justice", but now I can't deal with it fairly because of my embarrassment, how can I ask the judicial office to be fair, fair, and open in the future.

At that time, wouldn't it be a lot of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself, that's what I mean.

"Aiqing's words made me realize that Lu Wencao should not be sentenced to death because of embarrassment." Li Chengqian said, and sent the eunuch to hand over Lu Wencao to Dali Temple for disposal.

"Xiao Qing, your duty is to advise me of my mistakes. I am very happy that you can advise me faithfully. If I want to reward you, I will give you ten pieces of brocade and silk." Li Chengqian laughed.

"This is the duty of a minister, and he dare not be rewarded by a sage." Xiao Jun said.

"I reward you with brocade silk to commend you for your due diligence, so that more people will always be outspoken, and don't have any concealment or deception from me."

"If I have made a mistake, I can tell it and testify against my mistake." Li Chengqian said.

In this way, he will be able to establish a lofty image of admonishment in the hearts of the subjects of the world.

"Given by the elders, I dare not resign! Minister Xiao Jun thanked the saint for the reward." Xiao Jun thanked him.

"Ai Qing is flat!" Li Chengqian said, stepped forward to hold Xiao Jun's hand, and encouraged him with a few words.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Xiao Jun took his leave and left the Liangyi Hall.

After Xiao Jun left, Li Chengqian said to the courtiers beside him: "Look, people like Xiao Jun are the real admonishers of my Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Quan and others can only say yes.

In the ninth month of leap, Changsun Wuji and others presented Li Chengqian with the newly revised laws, decrees, patterns, and styles. After Li Chengqian read it, he discussed it with relevant personnel.

Finally, an edict was issued to promulgate it throughout the country, so that all the subjects of the Tang Dynasty would abide by the revised law.
