Chapter 142 The prince visits a prostitute
After listening to Li Zhen¡¯s words, Li Shimin¡¯s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He didn¡¯t expect that Li Zhen, who never talked much about calligraphy, actually spoke clearly and to the point.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Zhen's performance and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my son has such attainments in calligraphy."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "My son only knows a little bit about it. Compared with my father, I can't even keep up with him."
Li Zhen¡¯s flattery was just right, making Li Shimin feel very comfortable and laughed immediately.
"Zhen'er, why did you come to me today?"
"Father, I have investigated clearly the assassination of my son. These assassins were sent by Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun."
"oh?"
Li Shimin's heart moved, and he could no longer write with the brush in his hand.
Li Shimin said coldly: "Is there any evidence?"
"Here is the testimony of Zhang Liang's confidants Cheng Gongying and Gongsun Chang who signed and sealed it."
"read!"
Eunuch Gao was about to read the confession.
"snort!"
Before Eunuch Gao could finish reading, Li Shimin slapped the brush in his hand heavily on the desk.
"In the morning, this confession will be read out in the court hall later. I want to see if Zhang Liang has anything else to say!"
Li Shimin was extremely angry. Zhang Liang was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and the founding father of the Tang Dynasty.
" Hou Junji had already rebelled first, but Zhang Liang unexpectedly followed in Hou Junji's footsteps and embarked on the path of rebellion.
Both Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were veterans of Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion. They had gone through so many ups and downs. Li Shimin asked himself that he treated these veterans very well, but why, these comrades who had been with him through life and death, Now they have betrayed themselves one by one!
Why""
Why did they betray themselves?
Am I an ignorant and ignorant king? ?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Li Shimin looked up to the sky and sighed!
"It's not that my father didn't do well, but that power is too tempting, and people's desires are hard to fill. In the face of power, most people will lose their nature. Only a very small number of people like my father can keep it. Nature is not moved by power and desire." Li Zhen said.
"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded. He felt that what Li Zhen said made sense.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and looked at Li Zhen, his eyes a little confused and a little surprised.
Although the son in front of you is young, he has seen through human feelings and has insight into everything in the world.
At such a young age, how can you see through things that you can¡¯t even see through?
Have you really seen through power and desire?
But I can see that Zhen'er has really seen through it.
This son is really unique. At such a young age, he has such achievements in his character. I am really pleased.
Li Shimin suddenly had a feeling that if he left the country in Li Zhen's hands, maybe he would do a better job than himself.
At this moment, Li Shimin recognized Li Zhen even more.
Eunuch Gao on the side said: "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."
Li Shimin nodded and said loudly: "Okay, I'll go right now. I want to see what Zhang Liang has to say!"
In the Ganlu Hall, Emperor Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chair, his eyes indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.
Your Highness, all civil and military officials gathered together. Prime Minister Fang Xuanling reported important matters one by one from time to time, and asked Li Shimin to issue an edict to make the final decision.
It has to be said that Fang Xuanling is extremely capable and organizes all political affairs in an orderly manner.
It was very comfortable for Li Shimin to handle, and Li Shimin handled political affairs extremely well. In a few short sentences, he gave instructions one by one on the memorial.
After everything was done, Li Shimin asked people to take out the testimonies of Cheng Gongying and Gongsun Chang and let Eunuch Gao read them out in public.
Zhang Liang, who was among the officials, trembled when he heard the words, cried and bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"The evidence is irrefutable. This is the confession of your cronies Cheng Gongying and Gongsun Chang. What are you wrong about?" Li Shimin said coldly.
Zhang Liang defended: "These two people were afraid of death, so they framed me."
"Your MajestyI have been following you for decades, starting from Tiance Mansion. How could I do such a thing? Please don't believe the false accusations, your Majesty, and give me justice. "
Li Shimin felt very deeply in his heart. He still had feelings for the old man in Tiance Mansion. However, Zhang Liang made a big mistake this time and he really could no longer protect him.
At this time, Minister Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang secretly raised five hundred adopted sons."
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Liang raised five hundred adopted sons privately. What did he want to do? He wanted to rebel. He also sent people to assassinate the King of Yue. This is adding insult to injury!"
"What do you think we should do with Zhang Liang?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Liang is treasonous and intends to rebel. He should be executed!" Fang Xuanling said.
Zhang Liang was shocked and quickly looked at Changsun Wuji and begged: "Master Changsun, please beg for me"
Changsun Wuji didn¡¯t even look at Zhang Liang, he just didn¡¯t know.
Zhang Liang had no choice but to look at Li Ji and other old brothers from the Wagang Army, but Li Ji and others were also silent.
Zhang Liang intended to rebel and assassinate the prince. His crime was too great, and no one dared to provoke him.
Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang deserves to be executed!"
"Zhang Liang deserves to be executed!" All officials said in unison.
The evidence was overwhelming and Zhang Liang could not defend himself at all. He collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
At that moment, Li Shimin ordered Zhang Liang to be escorted out and beheaded three days later. All Zhang Liang's property was confiscated.
After dealing with Zhang Liang¡¯s matter, Li Shimin felt a little disheartened and was about to retire.
However, at this moment, Changsun Chong came out and said: "Your Majesty, why did the prince break the law? What crime should he be punished for?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said: "It has been said since ancient times that if a prince breaks the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people."
"Please, Your Majesty, put the Yue King Li Zhen in prison!" Changsun Chong said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace was shocked and didn't understand what Changsun Chong meant.
Changsun Chong said loudly: "Li Zhen, the king of Yue, as a prince, went to a brothel to visit prostitutes, and killed people in the street. There are all witnesses and physical evidence, so he should be punished!"
At that moment, Changsun Chong told Li Zhen about entering Ruyi Tower and killing Chen Fatty in the street.
After hearing this, Li Shimin and the officials took a deep breath.
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, and prostitution was common among the people. Many dignitaries often hung out in Goulanfang. However, this was the first time that a prince had prostitutes. This can definitely be called a royal scandal.
At that moment, Chu Suiliang said loudly: "The prince visited prostitutes and killed people in the street, which is an insult to the dignity of the royal family. Please punish Li Zhen severely to silence the people of the world!"
At present, ministers such as Lang Cen Wenwen, the Minister of Zhongshu, Ma Zhou, the Duke of Ande County, Yang Shidao, and other ministers of the eldest Sun Wuji line came out one after another to ask Li Shimin to deal with Li Zhen (remember the website address: www.hlnovel. com - Didn't finish reading?
