At this moment, everyone in the audience looked at Li Chengqian in stunned silence.
The two palace guards were even more moved.
Who can believe that Li Shimin can punish his own son for the lives of people, especially people of foreign races?
It is true that Li Chengqian sent troops to kill people, but he also received the punishment he deserved.
Who can say anything on this issue now?
Everyone is watching it with their own eyes.
The injuries on Li Chengqian's back cannot be faked at all.
It was done by people watching with their own eyes, whip after whip.
Thirty lashes fell, and the skin and flesh on Li Chengqian's back had been beaten to pieces.
But he remained silent from beginning to end.
This kind of endurance and endurance alone is enough to amaze anyone.
After this time, no one will say that Li Chengqian killed innocent people indiscriminately.
No one will say that Li Shimin favors his son or Li Chengqian anymore.
And Li Chengqian's reputation will be restored under such circumstances.
Even if the people outside did not see it with their own eyes, they felt frightened after hearing it.
Everyone admires Li Chengqian's tough qualities.
Li Tai in the main hall couldn't help but secretly shake his head when he saw this scene.
Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian.
Your destiny is really great.
And what about Dai Zhou?
He also sighed at this time and said secretly: "It's all over."
Within the main hall.
The generals all knelt down and began to plead for Li Chengqian.
Many people in the civil service class knelt down to beg for mercy, begging Li Shimin not to continue punishing Li Chengqian.
In this matter, it seems that Li Chengqian was cruel and cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But in reality?
He really protected more people.
As the marching general, Li Chengqian encountered a situation where his own troops were betrayed by the enemy's civilians.
Only those tribes that had anything to do with Shi Wei's army were ordered to be slaughtered, and the other honest and stable tribes were not moved at all.
His purpose in doing this was nothing more than to ensure the safety of his own soldiers.
What if it was not Li Chengqian who directed the war that time, but Li Shimin.
The people he ordered to kill were probably not only the Shiwei tribe who had contact with Shiwei's soldiers, but also all men, women, old and children.
After all, in his eyes, the lives of the enemy's civilians were far inferior to those of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
But in the eyes of literati, this is not the case.
What these scholars saw was that Li Chengqian killed innocent people indiscriminately, which led to the continuous rebellion in Shiwei.
But they never thought that even if Li Chengqian didn't massacre those tribes, wouldn't there be a rebellion in Shiwei?
As long as there are people who are willing to stir up trouble, chaos will definitely happen.
So in the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with Li Chengqian.
It's just that someone framed him and took the blame.
And to a certain extent, it's not enough if he doesn't bear the blame.
Otherwise, people will point their noses and scold him, and even Li Shimin will be implicated in it.
And Li Chengqian naturally knew this, otherwise how could he be willing to be punished?
Of course Li Shimin understood Li Chengqian's good intentions.
Li Shimin glanced at Dai Zhou, who was standing at the forefront.
He shook his head and sighed: "Since I said the punishment will be thirty lashes, then it will be thirty lashes. One more lash will not be enough, and one less lash will not be enough."
"Now that the thirty lashes have been completed, let him go back to practice first."
After saying that, he waved to Eunuch Zhou beside him.
Eunuch Zhou did not dare to delay at this time. He hurriedly ran out of the palace and shouted to the outside of the palace: "The punishment of thirty lashes has been completed. Send His Highness the King of Qin back to the palace!"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian shouted towards the main hall: "My son, thank you father..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian could no longer stand and fell to the ground on his back.
At this time, the stretcher that had been prepared had been carried over by two other guards.
They put Li Chengqian on the stretcher and hurriedly carried Li Chengqian, whose back was already bloody, and ran outside.
There is no blood in the palace, this is the rule.
Seeing Li Chengqian lying on the stretcher being carried away, although Li Shimin's face remained expressionless, his heart hurt as if a knife was stabbing him.
He stood up, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired. Even if I have something to report to you as your beloved, let's wait until the next court meeting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin left the throne and walked towards the harem.
All the ministers bent down to send them off: "I will send you off to your majesty!"
…
After the end of the dynasty.
Li Shimin asked Chang Sun Chong to take several palace doctors and rush towards Li Chengqian's mansion.
Sure enough, as he expected, Prince Qin's palace was already extremely busy at this time.
The maid brought in basins of clean water and basins of bloody water and then brought out basins of bloody water.
Because Li Chengqian did not take off his middle coat, the whip hit him and many of the crumbs from his clothes were penetrated into his flesh.
In order to avoid infection, you can only wash it with water and then wipe it with spirits.
After Li Chengqian returned to the mansion, he actually woke up.
But it was okay not to be awake. When I woke up, it felt like there were millions of knives scraping my back.
Let alone him, even Cheng Huailiang was frightened when he saw Li Chengqian's back.
Although he was whipped by Cheng Yaojin, he had never been beaten so severely.
And facing Changsun Chong and Cheng Hualiang.
Su Qingling didn't have a good face at all.
She is not a stupid woman, but she is very smart.
He knew that Li Chengqian's beating today was very unusual and something big must have happened.
Looking at Su Qingling's gloomy face, Changsun Chong was also embarrassed: "Princess, this..."
"What is this?"
Su Qingling glared at him: "You'd better tell me now what's going on."
"Qingling..."
Because of the injury to his back, Li Chengqian couldn't lie down at all and could only lie down on the mattress on the ground.
At this time, I saw Changsun Chong's embarrassed appearance being interrogated by his wife.
He couldn't help but said: "This matter has nothing to do with them, don't take your anger out on them."
"you shut up!"
Su Qingling glared at Li Chengqian: "I don't know what your virtue is?"
{Received anger value +73 from Su Qingling...}
As the system prompt sounded, Su Qingling gritted her teeth and asked: "Just tell me, who is it that you are helping to take the blame?"
"Qingling..."
Facing the angry wife, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what, I am still the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of attitude do you have..."
"What attitude?"
"What do you think of my attitude?"
Su Qingling raised her hand and grabbed the broom from her side, and swung it at Zhangsun and the others: "Everyone, get out of here, everyone, get out of here!"
Changsun Chong's martial arts skills were excellent, so naturally he couldn't be hit this time.
But seeing that Su Qingling was really angry, he didn't dare to tit for tat.
He hurriedly said: "Princess, Princess, don't, don't..."
Su Qingling now also vented all her anger on Changsun Chong.
She can see it now.
This matter is 100% related to her emperor father-in-law.
Watching Changsun Chong being chased and beaten by Su Qingling.
Li Chengqian became anxious and said bluntly: "Su Qingling, how do you think this is so inappropriate for your little girl? Put down the broom immediately!"
"I'm no longer a girl!"
"I am the Princess of Qin!"
Su Qingling turned around and glared at Li Chengqian, then hit Changsun Chong with a broom.
This time Changsun Chong had nothing to say.
After dodging Su Qingling's blow, Changsun Chong said quickly: "Your Highness, I'm going to leave first. I'll come back to see you when your injury is better."
Then, Changsun Chong led a group of imperial doctors and ran away in despair.
Mother, tigress, I can’t afford to offend you...
