study.
After asking the housekeeper to pour some tea, they hid in the study and started discussing.
"What exactly happened?"
Wei Zheng knelt and sat on the front seat, his face extremely solemn.
Li Daliang and Chu Suiliang are both rare talents.
Li Daliang is dead.
But Chu Suiliang is still alive.
If Chu Suiliang was really framed, Wei Zheng would definitely have to protect him.
"Dengshan is still on his way back to Chang'an. We don't know the details..."
"Let me just tell you everything we know."
Ouyang Xun thought about his words and said: "The salt prices in Liangzhou and Jiangnan have problems at the same time. It really has something to do with it..."
“And it’s related to Li Daliang!”
"As we all know, Li Daliang has four sworn brothers..."
"Chi Mengbiao, Wu Xiaokuan, Zhu Shuyu, Fan Chengye!"
"Wu Xiaokuan, Fan Chengye, and Zhu Shuyu are from Jiangnan." (The first two are from Jiangsu, and the latter is from Jiaxing, Zhejiang)
"Chi Mengbiao is from Chenliu (Henan)."
"And the base camp of the Zheng family in Xingyang is located in Kaifeng..."
"Xuancheng thinks there is some connection between this?"
Wei Zheng nodded when he heard this.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "This shows that my original analysis was correct!"
Damn it.
Let's get down to business here.
You are such a boastful son!
"right."
Ouyang Xun nodded.
One breath, two breaths...
After a few breaths passed, Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask when Ouyang Xun didn't speak.
"Finished?"
"It's over."
Ouyang Xun nodded.
"..."
So I am retiring and making tea behind closed doors. Why?
"Now we only know that Dengshan killed Li Daliang. We can't find out the rest until Dengshan is escorted to Beijing."
Yu Shinan sighed.
Judging from the current intelligence, it is really difficult to save Chu Suiliang.
"Dad, actually this isn't urgent, is it?"
Wei Shuyu read through the Tang Dynasty Code and shook it in his hand: "It's only summer now. Not to mention the repeated five memorials, even if the death penalty is executed, it will still have to be executed after the fall. There are still several months."
Um?
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng had not yet reacted.
Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan were stunned.
Tang law stipulates that from the beginning of spring to the autumnal equinox, no death penalty can be imposed. Even in winter, if there are major sacrificial activities, the New Year's Day, the upper and lower strings, the twenty-four solar terms, the rain is not clear, the night is not bright, the slaughter day, the emperor's birthday, the New Year's Eve and other statutory holidays, the death penalty is not allowed.
No wonder the two of them were so anxious.
The two of them often gave Chu Suiliang calligraphy advice. They were called friends, but in fact they were masters and disciples.
"In that case, let's wait until Dengshan comes back to talk about everything."
Wei Zheng said.
There is insufficient information, and it will be useless no matter how much he sprays.
"The two elders don't need to worry. If Dengshan is really framed, Xuancheng will definitely help."
"I'll go to your Majesty's place later to hear what's going on and see what your Majesty has to say."
As Wei Zheng finished speaking, the two of them stood up and bowed to Wei Zheng: "Then I'll trouble you, Xuancheng."
"It's all for Datang."
Wei Zheng quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Meanwhile, the palace!
Li Shimin sat in front of the case, his expression extremely gloomy.
In front of him, many officials of the Li family in Longxi were requesting that Chu Suiliang be killed.
"Chu Suiliang killed heroes indiscriminately, please Your Majesty to put him to death!"
"Chu Suiliang relied on your majesty's secret order to kill innocent people indiscriminately. I beg your majesty to put him to death!"
"Chu Suiliang was a thief in prison, and I beg your Majesty to put him to death..."
All the officials launched attacks one after another.
Many members of the royal family also stood up.
It is the law of the Tang Dynasty to be beheaded after autumn.
But if Li Shimin decides to die alone.
Then this person will never see the sun tomorrow!
"Your Majesty, no matter what Chu Suiliang's reasons are, killing three of the eight ranks is truly treason. I beg your Majesty to convict him and put him to death!"
Fang Xuanling took a step forward.
There was anger on his face, but more of it was sadness.
If Li Daliang were still alive, he would definitely be the minister of the Tang Dynasty!
"Do you all think so?"
Li Shimin glanced at the ministers with a majestic look, his face was stern, and his words contained anger.
"Your Majesty, I also think that Chu Suiliang deserves to die!"
Cheng Yaojin also took a step forward, his face filled with resentment.
Li Daliang was a military commander and a comrade-in-arms.
And what about Chu Suiliang?
Nowadays it is just a little Karami.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
Seeing that all the ministers agreed, Li Shimin finally agreed.
"In this case, after Chu Suiliang is escorted to Beijing, Dali Temple will investigate the case."
"Once verified, he will be executed without mercy!"
Li Shimin's tone was full of murderous intent.
An eighth-grade supervisory censor was replaced by a minister with both civil and military skills.
It would make anyone feel uncomfortable!
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the ministers bowed.
After chatting for a while, the ministers retired.
Li Shimin sighed.
Then continue to deal with state affairs.
I don’t know when it happened, but someone suddenly came in to report...
"Your Majesty, Minister Wei would like to see you."
"Xuan."
Li Shimin replied without raising his head.
I haven’t seen Lao Wei for a long time, and I don’t know why I miss him so much.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, is here to see you."
Li Shimin put down the memorial and looked at Wei Zheng with a smile: "Xuancheng, have you recovered?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Wei Zheng bowed and responded.
"It's about to get off duty. Could it be that Xuancheng came here in a hurry to have a meal at the palace?"
Li Shimin made a rare joke.
"Your Majesty, I am here because of Chu Suiliang's affairs."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.
"Xuancheng, Chu Suiliang was recommended by you." Li Shimin solemnly reminded him.
Originally he didn't want to mention it.
Because Chu Suiliang was recommended by Wei Zheng, it harmed the relationship between the two men.
But Wei Zheng took the initiative to mention it.
It seems that if he still wants to intercede for Chu Suiliang, then he has touched the bottom line!
"Your Majesty, I just heard on the way here that you have handed over Chu Suiliang's matter to Dali Temple for trial?"
Wei Zheng straightened up and his voice suddenly became hard.
Li Shimin was stunned.
This posture, this voice...
Why do I have a familiar and unpleasant feeling again?
"What? Is there a problem?"
Suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, Li Shimin asked majestically.
"There is no problem in leaving it to Dali Temple for trial."
Wei Zheng nodded: "But I heard that once it is verified, he will be executed without mercy. Why is this?"
Li Shimin's hands couldn't help but tremble.
It's over.
Old Wei grabbed his pigtails again.
Just listen to Wei Zheng still talking endlessly...
"Three complexes and five memorials were personally approved by His Majesty, and now you are taking the lead in overthrowing..."
"Where is the prestige of Tang Law?"
"As the current Holy Emperor, Your Majesty should set an example for the people of the world."
"If your words and deeds are inconsistent, you may make all officials dissatisfied, and you may make the world question you!"
"I thought..."
Li Shimin's expression changed again and again, and soon he couldn't listen anymore and immediately interrupted...
"Wei Zheng, I just want to kill a prisoner. Is it as serious as you said?"
