A group of people came to the main hall
After kneeling down to worship, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi were immediately taken aside to observe since they were not involved in the case.
Changsun Wuji, Chai Lingwu, Li Daozong, and Li Jingyu knelt in the main hall, waiting to state the case.
According to the pre-designed plan, Li Jingyu, who was not involved in the organization, was first asked to make a statement, and then he was thrown back to the prison to talk about other things.
The persons involved were handed over to Cheng Yu for trial
Cheng Yu walked out from among the ministers and stood beside Li Jingyu.
Cheng Yu: "Li Jingyu, the son of Jiangxia County Prince, are you right?"
When he came to Tai Chi Hall for the first time, Li Jingyu was a little nervous, and the pain in his leg made him look a little pale: "It's me."
Cheng Yu: "Why did you come to Chang'an from Jiangxia?"
Li Jingyu: "The elders in the family saw that there were many vacancies in the imperial court, so they came to Chang'an to study and then entered the official career."
Cheng Yu: "Who said that?"
Li Jingyu glanced at Li Daozong beside him, looked at Li Dongmei's expressionless face, and then replied in a low voice: "It's my father and uncle."
Cheng Yu pointed at Li Daozong and asked Li Jingyu: "Can he be the king of Jiangxia?"
"yes"
Li Jingyu nodded and answered Cheng Yu, then continued: "My uncle didn't know about the trouble I made this time, so please let your majesty keep an eye on it."
Hearing that Li Jingyu had no copywriting to answer first, Li Daozong's expression was a little unnatural: You silly man, why are you so anxious to answer a question that hasn't been asked yet? The flowers in the room really can't withstand the wind and frost.
Cheng Yu carefully observed the expression on Rain's face, and then continued to ask: "Why did you go to Piaoxue Tower to cause trouble and abuse the imperial concubine and His Majesty?"
hiss
The surrounding officials took a sharp breath of air. This question Cheng Yu asked was a bit heart-wrenching. Li Jingyu was causing trouble in Piaoxue Tower. If he did such a thing for so long when he knew that his bosses were Murong Xue and Li Mingda, it was deliberate. If so, you can give him a serious crime of disrespect.
Changsun Wuji and Chai Lingwu looked at Cheng Yu with worried eyes: This Cheng Yu is too bad. He would be tricked in such a trial. If he didn't take the trick, he would anger Li Mingda later and implicate himself in a matter that was originally only involved in the case. Very Guang, then when the time comes, their goods and family will be the last thing they want to see. Even if Li Shimin and Changsun are willing to protect them, it will be difficult to talk.
Cheng Yu is a cruel official
Li Daozong was also very nervous at this time. He was afraid that Li Jingyu would say "I know".
Behind the screen at this time, the family members of Li Lingjun and Jiang Xiawang also looked nervous. If Li Jingyu said something wrong today, his family might be gone.
In the eyes of everyone, Li Jingyu nodded heavily: "I know."
puff
Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking tea and watching a show, spit out the tea in his mouth. He had seen stupid people before, but he had never seen such stupid people. Wouldn't this bring disaster to his family~!
Li Mingda and Murong Xue looked at Li Jingyu with great interest: "Xiaobai, what do you think this guy is thinking about?"
Murong Xue: "There is a trap in my mind. If I want to see your Majesty, I can ask my uncle to help me. I can make trouble in our property and get beaten."
The answer from his own Xiaobai was exactly what Li Mingda thought. He patted Murong Xue on the head: "She is indeed my beloved concubine, just as I thought."
Murong Xue: "Keep letting Cheng Yu scare him."
Li Mingda: "A must"
Cheng Yu looked at Li Mingda, who had a theatrical expression on his face on the stage, and made a decision in his heart. Then he ignored Li Daozong's unkind eyes and continued to ask Li Jingyu: "Since you know that Piaoxue Tower is where the imperial concubine and His Majesty sit down, so According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you knew the law and violated the law. You deliberately insulted His Majesty and the noble concubine, which is a great disrespect. Anlu should be exiled thousands of miles away. Your father, the King of Jiangxia County, was not strict in educating his children. As an uncle, the King of Jiangxia did not educate him well in Chang'an City. , I beg your Majesty to convict the three people."
When he heard that his father and uncle Li Daozong and Li Jingyu were involved, he hurriedly defended himself: "Your Majesty, this matter was all done by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. Moreover, I did this in order to state what I have learned in front of your Majesty. It’s his own statecraft that led him to do such a ridiculous thing,”
Statecraft~!
This aroused the curiosity of everyone present. What strategies for governing the country did this silly Li Jingyu learn?
Cheng Yu turned around and asked Li Mingda: "Your Majesty, please make your decision on this matter."
What that means is whether Li Jingyu should be allowed to continue talking. If he is asked to say that once Li Jingyu tells what flowers are coming, Li Jingyu will be cleared of most of his charges. If he can't tell the reason, he may be more serious. .
In line with the principle of not taking things too seriously, Li Mingda nodded: "You can talk and listen. If it makes sense, I can exempt some of the charges at my discretion, but your approach is not advisable. There is a place for advice in the Tang Dynasty, even for poor families. Students can express their ideas to the cabinet, but you have a title and if you want to say something, just tell your uncle Li Daozong. It is inappropriate to do such a stupid thing."
After being lectured by Li Mingda, Li Jingyu lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Yes, Jingyu knows he was wrong."
Li Mingda waved his hand: "Then start your performance."
Cheng Yu explained to Li Jingyu in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked you to explain your strategy for governing the country."
Li Jingyu came to his senses, collected his thoughts for a while, and said: "Dynastic changes have been like the rising and setting of the sun for thousands of years from ancient times to the present. If we want to make a country prosperous for generations and never fall, the current basic system of the Tang Dynasty should be reformed and a constitutional monarchy should be implemented."
Um
When Li Mingda heard the words "constitutional monarchy", he immediately thought of one thing, another time traveler~!
Constitutional monarchy, also known as "limited monarchy", is a national system relative to autocratic monarchy. Constitutional monarchy is a constitutional monarchy that establishes people's sovereignty, limits the power of the monarch, and realizes republican ideals in affairs without adopting a republican form of government through the establishment of a constitution on the premise of retaining the monarchy. It can be divided into dual constitutional monarchy and parliamentary constitutional monarchy.
The first time this happened in history was after the "Glorious Revolution" in Britain. After the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, the head of state and the royal family will be subject to many restrictions by the legal system. This is relatively good. There is also a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, which is thorough. Take away the power from the hands of the emperor, and the king will no longer be the actual master of a country but become a puppet and decoration.
Although this kind of system can ensure the longevity of a dynasty, in this era, Li Mingda cannot, will not allow, and will not let this happen. After all, the era of global chaos has begun, and doing this at this time is tantamount to putting himself at risk. Cutting off the hands and feet ruined the great prospects of the Tang Dynasty, and even gave some people a chance to gluttony the Tang Dynasty from behind to the front.
Li Mingda narrowed his eyes, murderous intention gradually rising in his heart
