Chapter 178 You Resign

Treason is the leader of the ten evils, and he will not be forgiven when he is forgiven.

Even if you discuss eight things, you cannot avoid death!

"Li Youliang, Li Xiaochang, behead him and immediately executed!" Changsun Wuji requested.

"Sun Fujia, you are the young minister of Dali Temple. What crime do you think should be punished? How to deal with it?" Li Shimin asked Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia, wearing a breeze robe, seemed a little prominent in the hall. After all, everyone else had purple robe and jade belts. This Dali Temple Shaoqing, who won the imperial examinations in both the Sui and Tang dynasties, was actually very angry and excited today, and wanted to argue with Qin Lang and the emperor.

He wanted to ask why the custody department could bypass the three judicial departments and have such power to arrest and torture.

But now, seeing the emperor's hideous face, he heard that so many people were involved in this rebellion case, especially when Li Xiaochang actually wanted to welcome the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, he did not dare to offend Yan Jian again.

"The two kings confess their guilt, and the crime is treason, and they should be beheaded. However, according to the eight discussions, the two kings are relatives of the royal family and should discuss their relatives. Those who are all third ranks or above and have first ranks or above should discuss their nobles."

"In the Eight Discussions, the two kings can discuss the nobles in person, so they should reduce their sentences by second grade. Although the crime of treason cannot be changed to the death penalty for eight discussions, they can be changed to the death penalty for killing and killing!"

Even if the Heavenly King comes today, no one can save these two people.

However, Sun Fujia strictly followed the provisions of Wude's laws and regulations and made a verdict to behead him.

Both the killing and the killing are both death sentences, but the killing is one level lower than the killing. Especially for people with identities, the hanging is at least the whole body, and there is no need to separate the body.

Li Shimin said coldly, "Okay, I will judge the two thieves according to the law, but they will be hanged in public in the downtown area. Li Xiaochang was also expelled from his family." This was not even the last bit of face he gave to the royal family.

Generally, these important ministers of the royal family will be somewhat constrained. For example, even if they are guilty, they will not interrogate and make judgments. They will mostly let them commit suicide. This means that they will not be punished. Therefore, the prime ministers of the Han Dynasty often commit suicide, but in fact they do not like suicide, but this is the rule, and the consequences of not committing suicide are even worse.

Now Li Shimin refused to give the two faces, and did not give them any at all.

The two kings were strangled in public in the downtown area and decided to resign. Then the two kings would first deprive the title of king and demote it to common people. Their fathers and sons and brothers would also be held together. Their cousins ​​and uncles and brothers would be exiled for three thousand miles, grandfathers, grandsons, wives and concubines would be left as slaves, all family property would be left, and they would even be expelled from the royal family genealogy.

Even if Li Yi's lineage is completely finished, even Li Shuliang's lineage, who had died in the king's affairs before, cannot be spared.

This is the horror of being implicated. Even the royal family cannot escape the crime of treason that committed the ten evil deeds.

"Changsun Shunde, what should Liu Hongji be guilty of?"

Li Shimin asked again.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward again and replied, "Rebellion, behead!"

However, this time Sun Fujia stepped forward and advised him that since the two of them refused to plead guilty, they would be considered retrial and there must be sufficient evidence to sentence them. He also asked the emperor to hand over the two and even the entire case to Dali Temple.

After all, according to the system, Dali Temple is responsible for these major cases, and the Ministry of Justice itself is not responsible for the trial of cases. It is in charge of the criminal and punishment orders and has the right to review major cases. The real punishment power is in Dali Temple, and Menxia Province has the right to supervise.

Such a big case was all done by the tutoring department, and directly bypassed their Dali Temple. This is to infringe on their right to punish them.

But Li Shimin ignored Sun Fujia's strong advice at all.

At this time, Yu Wen Shi and Chen Shuda and other prime ministers finally spoke for Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji. After all, these two were meritorious officials of martial virtue and were meritorious officials of Taiyuan Yuan Cong. Moreover, they did not plead guilty and did not directly prove the crime.

After a long debate, Li Shimin still refused to hand over the case to Dali Temple, but in the end, he turned out to be the two important officials.

"Changsun Shunde is a relative of the foreign country and a founding father in terms of his status and a high status and a high title and salary, and can be said to be rich and noble. Now he is involved in this rebellion case, and all the ministers are willing to guarantee him. Then I will give him a chance, hoping that he can read more ancient and modern classics in the future, attract lessons from it, and learn from it."

Li Shimin's final disposal was that Changsun Shunde was dismissed from office, deprived of his title, and reclaimed the Zhenfeng and Yongye Field.

Liu Hongji's handling was the same, expelling officials from office, depriving him of his title, and taking back the Zhenfeng and Yongyetian.

The two brothers and nephews who were officials in the court were all exempted from office and removed from office and deprived of their titles. Even those who were officials in the three guards were also removed from office.

He also ordered him to return to his original hometown to live, and the local government was ordered to monitor his residence.

Liu Deyu and Changsun Anye, because the evidence of participation in the rebellion was conclusive, Li Shimin asked to deal with it the same as Li Xiaochang and Li Youliang.

"Liu Deyu is killed and decided!"

"Changsun Anye kills him!"

·······

Finally, fourteen Yuan Conspirators were decided, 37 followers, more than 500 followers, and more than 3,000 other implicated people. Together with their families involved, there were tens of thousands of slaves.

Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji were dismissed from office and removed from office and seized the title.

The two kings of Li Youliang and Li Xiaochang were killed and decided, and Liu Deyu and twelve others were killed and decided. Hundreds of other beheaded, thousands of people were killed as slaves, and tens of thousands of people were exiled.

This major rebellion case came to an end.

Compared with the previous case of Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo in Youzhou, it can be said that although it has not happened yet, it was conspired at the feet of the emperor, which is more harmful, so it is more severe to deal with it.

Fourteen Yuanmou people were either snatched or beheaded, hundreds of people were implicated and beheaded, and countless people were even detained as slaves and exiled for three thousand miles.

After the last time the title was reduced, there were only four kings left by the six kings next to the royal family.

The true hero Liu Hongji and Changsun Shunde were spared from death, but he was also beaten to the end, and even Yongyetian was taken back.

Changsun Wuji was in the hall and never pleaded for his uncle Changsun Shunde, nor did he pleaded for his brother Changsun Anye.

Back then, when his father passed away, Changsun Anye and several half-brothers abused their mothers and three, and finally drove the older brother and sister out of the house. If it weren't for his uncle Gao Shilian taking them in, they would have been wandering on the streets.

But although my uncle took him in, he was later demoted to Jiaozhi, Annan as the county chief clerk because he implicated the rebellion case of the Minister of War, and his uncle was no longer able to take care of them.

Those experiences when he was a teenager made him lose all the brotherhood for Changsun Anye.

After his sister married Li Shimin, she had always acted as a virtuous supporter, but she made an exception to plead with Li Shimin for her brothers and arranged official positions for them.

But Changsun Anye has always been addicted to alcohol and still remains unchanged from his scoundrel character. He never does things well after becoming an official. He neglects his duties again and again, and his sister always wipes his butt for him.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Changsun pleaded for him and found him the position of a gate general. Who would have expected that he would be involved in this major rebellion case?

Changsun Wuji was actually quite happy and was finally able to get rid of this bastard.

"Your Majesty, I request that the case be handed over to Dali Temple!"

Sun Fujia requested.

Li Shimin shook his hand.

"Leave it to you to take over? Why didn't Dali Temple notice any of the thieves' plots to rebel?" Li Shimin glared at Sun Fujia and refused his request. "This case has been closed, and the aftermath will be handed over to the Pacification Department for handling."

After the meeting ended, Li Shimin returned to the harem with some fatigue.

In fact, the case is still a bit rough now. He knew that if he continued to dig deeper, he could still find countless people with bad intentions, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both said that they should stop.

Stop when it is appropriate.

Just like the treatment of Liu Renji and Changsun Shunde, the two must not be so innocent, but if they have to thoroughly investigate the two, they are afraid that everyone will be in danger at that time. Someone will take the opportunity to say that he wants to eliminate the old ministers of Wude and that he wants to kill the meritorious officials.

"His Majesty."

In Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun’s face was covered with tears.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Li Shimin looked at his wife in surprise, feeling a little distressed.

"Your Majesty, I have a reluctant request."

"Get up quickly." Li Shimin didn't expect that the queen would actually kneel down to him.

"Your Majesty, I am in charge of the harem, but I have never interfered in politics, nor am I willing to seek personal gain for the Changsun family. However, I heard that my eldest brother An Ye had an affair with the rebellion of King Yi'an, so what is the matter seriously?"

Li Shimin nodded helplessly.

"You don't know what kind of nature that person An Ye is. It's not that surprising that he has done."

"Your Majesty, how will Anye be dealt with?"

"I have agreed with the prime ministers to participate in politics. Changsun Anye will be executed and Changsun Shunde will be removed from office and removed from office and seize the title."

"Is uncle involved in it?" Empress Changsun looked painful, "Your Majesty, An Ye is the eldest son of the Changsun family. Can you tell me that he loves drinking and then does it, but he really doesn't have the courage to rebel."

"Avalokitesvara, God's evil deeds can still be forgiven, but he will not live. Why do you have to be sad and sad for such a bastard? He seeks death to help him!"

"Your Majesty, I have an old grudge with my elder brother, and this is known to everyone in the world. Now that your Majesty wants to punish him, it is indeed a law-based approach, but what will the people in the world think?"

Li Shimin supported the queen.

"What can people in the world say?"

"Your Majesty, those who know will say that Your Majesty will destroy relatives for the sake of justice, and those who do not know will say that it is the minister who instigated Your Majesty to kill relatives to repay personal grudges."

"I just want to have a clear conscience, so why should I be afraid of the fall of black and white people?"

"Since Your Majesty can forgive me, why can't I forgive my eldest brother for death?"

Li Shimin had never seen his wife like this before.

It is indeed not easy to get my wife to plead like this today.

"Okay, I promise you that I will discuss with the prime ministers tomorrow, and forgive my death, and change it to be removed from office and be granted three thousand miles of remittance."

Qin Lang and Qin Qiong walked out of the Eastern Palace and got on the carriage.

Qin Qiong was in a somewhat complicated mood when he saw his son who had just issued an order to add the power of the Sixth Street patrolman, who was a little ordered by the emperor to join the emperor. He had always wanted his son to leave the Fufu Division, but now his son took the Fufu Division to handle a huge case.

After this case, who in the world is not afraid of the sanctuary department?

"This case is over, you can resign!" Qin Qiong sighed.

"I am in the world and I can't help it. After experiencing this case, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will feel more at ease with the Knife of the Punishment Department, and will not let my son leave easily."

"Oh!" Qin Qiong sighed.

"Actually, my son is ordered to handle the matter, and he will not weave a charge, nor will he frame the wrongdoer, and the grandfather does not need to worry too much. I can still distinguish right from wrong, and I will not do anything randomly!"

Qin Qiong shook his head.

"If you are a person, you will have selfish desires. Even the emperor is no exception. It is difficult for the yamen like the tutoring department to restrain it, and the emperor's selfish desires will be magnified exponentially. It is difficult to guarantee that you will use it to do any private matters. Sometimes you can be a tutor and you will find it difficult to be independent."
