Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 365 Execution of Ashina Helu

"Di Qing, what do you think I should do with Ashina Helu?" Li Chengqian asked Di Renjie with a smile.

"Your Majesty has made a decision in his heart, so why bother to ask me how to deal with rebellious people." Di Renjie laughed, there was no need to ask this question at all.

Rebels like Ashina Helu should be killed as an example to deter those with ulterior motives.

If they don't kill them, people who have the same thoughts as Ashina Helu will follow suit and rise up to rebel, and the world will be in chaos that day.

After killing Ashina Helu, even if someone has the intention of rebelling, before rebelling, he must weigh whether he has the strength.

"This Ashina Helu deserves to die. Killing him can also deter Xiaoxiao, so that those with ulterior motives will not dare to make any rash moves." Li Chengqian said.

"Resign!" Di Renjie didn't say anything more about Ashina Helu, but got up to leave, and he had already finished the report.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and Di Renjie withdrew from the Liangyi Hall. Three days later, the imperial examination was held, and Li Chengqian personally presided over the examination to select suitable talents and sent them to various places.

Those who fail to pass the grades will be sent back to their hometowns to continue their studies and strive to pass the exam next year.

Soon after the imperial examination, Ashina Helu was escorted to Beijing and temporarily detained in Dali Temple.

"I'll leave Ashina Helu to you guys! Take good care of him, and I'll report to His Majesty the Emperor right away." Xiao Siye said.

"Your Majesty Honglu, don't worry! If the prisoner enters our Dali Temple prison, there will be absolutely no problems." said the guard of the Dali Temple prison.

Xiao Siye nodded, turned around and left. He still needs to report to Li Chengqian.

"Mr. Xiao Honglu, please stop, I have something to say." Seeing that Xiao Siye was about to leave, Ashina Helu hurriedly called Xiao Siye to stop.

Xiao Siye stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked, "What else do you have to say? If it's not something important, it's better not to open your mouth. I'm going to report to His Majesty the Emperor. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Please also ask Xiao Honglu to bring me a message to His Majesty the Emperor! Please also ask Honglu to bring it for me." Ashina Helu begged.

"You know the crimes you committed yourself. It doesn't matter if you say it out loud. This time, you must be dead." Xiao Siye said.

He thought Ashina Helu hoped that he could intercede for him and spare him from death, which was completely impossible.

"Hongluqing misunderstood! I am not here to live. I know in my heart what will happen to me." Ashina Helu said.

"Then what do you want me to convey to His Majesty for you!" Xiao Siye said.

"I was originally a captive, and the late emperor treated me well, but I was ungrateful and betrayed His Majesty. Now that the wrath of heaven has punished me, what else can I say?"

"I heard that in the law of the Han people, murder is pushed out of the vegetable market. I would like to die in Zhaoling to apologize to the late emperor."

"I hope Hongluqing can convey my words to His Majesty the Emperor!" Ashina Helu said.

"Okay! I will convey your words to His Majesty the Emperor verbatim." Xiao Siye said.

"Thank you Xiao Honglu!" Ashina Helu thanked Xiao Siye with the most solemn Turkic gift.

Xiao Siye glanced at Ashina Helu, turned around and left the prison, and went to the palace to report the situation to Li Chengqian.

After Xiao Siye saw Li Chengqian, he conveyed Ashina Helu's original words to Li Chengqian verbatim.

Li Chengqian frowned when he heard this. Regarding the disposal of Ashina Helu, Li Chengqian naturally hoped to push him out of the vegetable market and behead him, so that more people would come to watch.

However, he is also a generation of heroes at any rate. It is really inappropriate to be beheaded in the vegetable market and be surrounded by people.

However, he didn't know whether he should answer the question Ashina Helu asked or not, whether it conformed to the regulations, whether it was appropriate for him to be taken to the Zhaoling of the first emperor to be executed, etc., needed to be considered by Li Chengqian.

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian didn't think about what to do, so he decided to leave this problem to the minister to solve.

Eat the king's salary, worry about the king!
Now is the time for them to solve problems for you.

"My dear friends! In the past, when Ashina Helu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor gave Ashina Helu [-] tents to rule over. Soon after I ascended the throne, Ashina Helu planned to rebel."

"Now Ashina Helu is already a sinner. I originally planned to push him out of Caishikou and behead him, but Ashina Helu made such a request. Can he be dedicated to Zhaoling? Is it appropriate?" Li Chengqian asked .

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know how to answer for a while, and they didn't know whether it was in compliance with the rules. After all, there was no precedent before this.

When the minister was in a dilemma and Li Chengqian was impatient, someone finally stood up.

"Report to Your Majesty! Since ancient times, armies have to go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices when they return from victorious expeditions. The princes offer prisoners and enemy leaders to the emperor."

"As for dedicating to the mausoleum, I haven't actually heard of any dedicating to the mausoleum. However, dedicating your majesty to the garden is the same as dedicating to the ancestral temple. I think this is acceptable." The new Zhongshu ordered Xu Jingzong to come out.

"Xu Qing's words are not unreasonable. I don't know what you think about your love? It's okay for everyone to say it, and you can speak freely." Li Chengqian said.

He also listened to the opinions of the ministers on whether Ashina Helu should be sent to Zhaoling to be executed. Although he is the emperor, he can't do anything wrong.

"Report to Your Majesty! The old minister thinks what Xu Zhongshuling said is feasible!" Changsun Wuji came out to salute.

Zuo Zuo is just a rebellious general, he is not executed wherever he is, and Zhaoling is not the same as the vegetable market.

"The Taiwei is right! Since Zhongshu ordered Xu Jingzong to say that there is no problem, there must be no problem. After all, Xu Jingzong once served as Minister of Rites." Chu Suiliang also stood up and said.

"Ministers and others!" The ministers echoed one after another.

"Okay! Since you love ministers have no objections, then according to Ashina Helu's request, allow him to be executed in the Zhaoling of the late emperor, and the matter will be handled by the Minister of Dali Temple." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Dali Temple Minister Di Renjie saluted.

"This time, Liang Jianfang and others made great contributions to the suppression of the chaos. All officials were promoted to a higher level. Liang Jianfang rewarded two horses, fifty pieces of silk, and 20 captives as slaves. The rest of the generals were rewarded in descending order. Zhongshu Sheren drafted an edict." Li Chengqian said .

"No!" Zhongshushe people hurried out to salute.

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do!" Li Chengqian said.

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The minister knelt down on the ground, and Li Chengqian got up and left the Tai Chi Hall.

Di Renjie personally led people to escort Ashina Helu to Zhaoling. After the sacrifice, he beheaded Ashina Helu in Zhaoling.

Ashina Helu thus ended his sinful life.
