I didn't know what Li Shimin meant when I called Li Ke this time. Anyway, I just asked Li Ke a question in the end, as if he was asking about his feelings.
But until he left, Li Shimin didn't talk about other things. Maybe he just gave the courtiers an opinion?
When Li Ke came out, he didn't figure it out. His father was not that easy to understand. All Li Ke could guess was some of his daily behaviors, but Li Ke couldn't figure out Li Shimin's affairs about the court and politics. It's hard to guess, because what Li Shimin saw from that position could not be seen by ordinary people.
But no matter what, after reaching this point, people must die.
However, what Li Ke didn't expect was that the family members were much more decisive than he imagined. Seven days after the Zheng family, who was responsible for printing Datang Weekly, was arrested, the Zheng family in Xingyang issued a statement that the Zheng family had no king or father. , ignored the court laws and violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Xingyang Zheng family expelled him from the clan of the fourth family of Beizu! They are no longer recognized as the Zheng family in Xingyang.
In addition, in order to express her apology to His Highness the King of Shu, the Zheng family of Xingyang is willing to compensate His Highness the King of Shu for two million yuan!
Tsk tsk, when he learned this news, Li Ke had to sigh with emotion that these wealthy families could talk about two million yuan, and it was nothing at all. Li Ke suddenly thought of a historical record he saw in his previous life, which said that the Zhen family where Zhen Mi lived during the Three Kingdoms period was the first of the five wealthy businessmen during the Three Kingdoms period. It was said that he could easily spend three billion yuan!
That was the Three Kingdoms period! These are not the period when the man is at his peak.
It seems that 3 billion yuan converted into Datang is only 3 million yuan, but how long did it take them to accumulate it? And how long did it take for these aristocratic families to spread to the Tang Dynasty?
A thousand-year-old family...it's really not a joke.
Moreover, you have lost all this money, and you still have to plot against Li Ke. What do you mean by losing this money to Li Ke? This money was supposed to be used to make amends to the Tang Dynasty, but instead you gave it to me, Li Ke? Isn't this just deliberately putting Li Ke on the fire?
What? I, Li Ke, am missing the two million dollars? Can't you get this little money back in minutes?
But of course Li Ke would not refuse if someone gave him money.
When the person in charge of the first house of the North Ancestor of the Zheng family came to express this idea in person, Li Ke accepted it! Of course Li Ke understood what Zheng was playing and wanted to kill Li Ke with money, but their calculations were destined to be wrong.
Li Shimin only gave ten days. In fact, ten days were not used at all. Many things were already investigated on the eighth day. In the past, no investigation was done because no one complained. Now when they fell, everyone pushed against them. When a tree falls, the macaques scatter. The fourth door of the Zheng family in Xingyang is completely destroyed. Naturally, there are countless people suing them.
Many people came forward spontaneously, and there was no need for Wu Hou to investigate.
As for the matters with Hongwen Hall, whether Zheng admitted it or not, it didn't make any sense whether they admitted it or not. The result was the same.
After the results were reported to Li Shimin, Li Shimin directly issued an imperial edict, the core content of which was just four words: the whole family was copied and executed, and it was executed in the West Market three days later.
After asking people to write the imperial edict, some people wanted to ask for mercy, but in the end they held back. To put it seriously, this matter was comparable to rebellion. It was considered a minor matter without the three clans. Do you really think that Li Shimin did not dare to kill?
But what no one knows is that after issuing the imperial edict, Li Shimin told Chang Lin: "Go, make a copy of the imperial edict for Li Ke, and show him the list."
Chang Lin was stunned for a moment. He shouldn't have asked, but he hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Why don't you worry about it? Remember, no matter what he does after reading this, leave it alone. Whatever he does is up to him. Also, I won't see him before Zheng's questioning." Li Shimin said calmly.
"Yes..." Chang Lin did not dare to continue asking and went to execute the order.
When Li Ke received the imperial edict from Chang Lin, he had some doubts. However, after hearing the copy of the imperial edict sent to him by his father, Li Ke naturally opened it and read it. The imperial edict contained more than just the crimes committed by the Zheng family. , also included an execution list. When Li Ke read the list, he was confused.
"What's going on with this list?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin and asked seriously.
"His Majesty's handwriting." Chang Lin replied with just four words.
"The law of the Tang Dynasty states that under the age of seven there will be no death penalty. Why are there even babies who are just one month old?" Li Ke asked in a deep voice. Yes, the Tang Dynasty has a minor protection law. Although it is not called that, the current Tang law stipulates that those under seven years old who have committed the death penalty will not be killed. Women are basically not killed because of population problems. Of course, it is not absolute for women, it depends on the seriousness of the crime committed.
This is the law of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period. As the Tang Dynasty prospered, the law of the Tang Dynasty would be gradually improved. In the following dynasties, the law of the Tang Dynasty would gradually divide minors into three stages based on the age of fifteen. Laws on the protection of minors may have been handed down from ancient times.
The Zheng family has two children under seven years old, a boy and a girl, who are still babies.
"Your Majesty's words are the law of the Tang Dynasty." Chang Lin looked calm.
"I want to see my father." Li Ke stood up directly. He didn't care about Zheng's death. When Li Shimin asked him, he mentioned Tang Law because he knew there were these laws.
But Li Shimin did not follow Tang law at all, which was somewhat beyond Li Ke's expectation.
"Your Majesty said that Zheng was not seen before Wenzhan." Chang Lin answered simply.
not see? Li Ke frowned. Li Shimin said he couldn't see it, but he really couldn't see it, unless Li Ke led his army to break in, but that would not be the same nature. Besides, how many people did he have? Can you break into the palace?
Chang Lin didn't leave, but stood aside, as if he was following Li Ke's decision.
Li Ke has a headache. Li Shimin is playing the trick he used to educate his son again. He has liked this since he was a child, but he has always played like this with his eldest brother. Anyway, I do something, you guess and make your own decision. I am right or wrong. in spite of.
If you do something right, there will be no reward. That is what a prince should do. If you do something wrong, there will be punishment. That is what a prince should bear.
So Li Chengqian was miserable.
This move was useless against Li Ke. Li Ke had never played cards according to common sense since he was a child, but it was different now. This matter is closely related to Li Ke, and he cannot ignore it.
Li Ke never felt that he was a virgin, but he had his own bottom line.
"Is this the result of the joint trial of the three divisions?" Li Ke asked. There was Chang Sun Wuji among the three divisions.
"Yes! There is no doubt about the joint trial of the three departments." Chang Lin looked calm.
paralysis! Li Ke wanted to curse, but he didn't know why. He suddenly felt another side of ancient times.
"What if I go to Dali Temple Prison?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin and asked.
"Your Highness is free." Chang Lin bowed slightly.
"Tian Meng."
"exist."
"Tell Yang Anning and Yang Li to change their clothes, put on robes, and follow me." Li Ke said while looking at Chang Lin.
But how could Chang Lin, who had been with Li Shimin for so many years, let Li Ke see how he could control his emotions and expressions.
After drinking tea, the two women finished changing their clothes, and Li Ke took them straight to Dali Temple Prison.
