I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 360: Prisoner and execution of Kong Xian
"Bah bah bah."

Li Zheng pouted three times directly to the ground, and then cursed angrily: "You old man, if you don't open your mouth or shut up, you will die. You are still in your prime, and you have children. As long as you have children, I will not let you." you die."

"And I will let the prince wake up and watch the expansion of the Tang Dynasty."

"I won't let you get tired from now on."

Hearing Li Zheng's concerned words.

Li Shimin's face was full of joy.

"Haha."

"As long as you have a heart."

"But among all living beings in the world, what is the one that will not die?"

"In the past, Qin Shihuang was so domineering and sought immortality in the world. Throughout the ages, how many emperors have sought immortality but failed. Everyone is bound to die."

"This is a given."

"but…"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with joy: "Now that I have found you, even if I die, I will have no regrets, because I know that you will not let me down, Your Majesty. I will leave it to you in the future of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be able to protect the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty." , and created the prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty."

At this time.

A bad guy leader quickly came to the political hall and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, Kong Xian has confessed everything. He was responsible for the assassination of General Li. He bribed bandits and set up ambushes along the way. "

"Hmph." Li Shimin's face turned cold: "This bitch is not satisfied even after I gave him glory and wealth, yet he dares to make mistakes."

"Damn it."

"Did he confess anyone else?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Reporting to the emperor, he said that it was done by one person and had nothing to do with anyone else." The bad guy replied.

"It's quite righteous." Li Shimin sneered.

"Kong Xian knew that he was going to die, and it would be useless to accuse others. He might as well leave a way for his own people to survive."

"This is human nature." Li Zheng didn't care.

"Kong Xianming was beheaded, the men of the clan were exiled to Zhucheng on the border, and the women were demoted to Jiaofangsi."

"Confiscate his home."

"Tomorrow, Li Zheng will personally supervise the execution and announce his crime to the execution ground." Li Shimin said coldly.

"I accept the decree." The bad guy leader bowed respectfully.

"He is Liu Sheng, the deputy commander of bad guys."

"Remember him."

"There are two deputy commanders in the bad people, one is Liu Sheng and the other is Liu Lin. They are brothers. Now Wang Hao has gone to Luoyang, Liu Lin is guarding the Wei Palace, and Liu Sheng is left in charge of Chang'an. "Li Shimin pointed at the bad guy commander in front of him and introduced.

"Yeah." Li Zheng nodded.

"Liu Sheng." Li Shimin said.

"I'm here," Liu Sheng responded immediately.

"Do you know Li Zheng?" Li Shimin asked.

"General Li is in our Tang Dynasty, no one in the world knows him." Liu Sheng replied in awe.

"From now on, his words are our words. If he needs to mobilize bad people to do something, you just follow his orders." Li Shimin said.

Liu Sheng was shocked and looked at him in surprise, but he did not dare to hesitate and accepted the order directly: "I accept the order."

"Stand back." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Liu Sheng bowed and exited the hall.

"Zheng'er."

"Do you think setting up bad people is right or wrong?" Li Shimin asked suddenly, looking at Liu Sheng's leaving figure.

"It is of great use to be directly ordered by the supervisory agency of the imperial power to supervise all officials, to make them behave themselves and to keep the world in order."

"This is the sharp sword hanging over the heads of officials, so that they don't dare to mess around."

"For the imperial power, it is very necessary." Li Zheng said.

Although state-owned laws.

But for the powerful, with power, they have the power to take bribes, pervert the law, and take human lives. In addition to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment, the existence of bad people is also a key part. They are ordered by the imperial power, directly accept the emperor's command, and supervise all civil and military officials. .

"that's right."

"Bad people must exist."

"Supervision must exist." "It is better for officials to suffer than for common people to suffer."

"It is better for officials to cry than for all the people in the world to cry."

"Zheng'er, you must always remember this sentence."

"Imperial power bestows official positions. Official positions have rights, and the rights are superior to all people. This power can harm people and kill people. The originator must strictly supervise it." Li Shimin said with instruction.

"I understand." Li Zheng nodded.

……

The next day.

At noon.

The execution ground on the outskirts of Chang'an City.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of the capital, countless rebels have been killed here. Even after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, many former princelings were implicated in treason cases involving thousands of people, and almost all of them were here. Beheaded everywhere.

Even at noon.

It is the moment when the Yang energy between heaven and earth is the most intense.

There is still an invisible gloom hanging over this execution ground, and the majestic wind carries a chill. It is hard to imagine that it is still noon.

And this moment.

Tens of thousands of people have surrounded the execution ground, most of them ordinary people, but there are also many scholars from all over Chang'an City who have read poetry and books.

of course.

Most likely they came to see the fun, and some scholars just wanted to see this loyal but unloyal person die.

And in the position of the chief officer of the execution ground.

Li Zheng has already sat down, with Zhao Ming and Wu Yuanlong standing next to him.

There were personal guards all around.

Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an Prefecture also stood beside Li Zheng with a respectful expression.

"Master Wu, take the prisoner with you."

Li Zheng looked at Jing Zhaoyin and said.

"Yes."

Jing Zhaoyin nodded respectfully, and then said to his men: "Take the prisoner Kong Xian to verify his identity."

echoed.

More than a dozen officials from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion escorted Kong Xian and his three sons to the execution ground. Each of them was wearing prison uniforms with their names on their backs.

The former Yan Shenggong now looked desperate and embarrassed.

His three sons didn't even come here, but were carried here by the government officials.

"General Li, the prisoner has arrived at the execution ground. Please verify his identity personally."

Jing Zhaoyin turned around and faced Li Zheng respectfully.

"Ah."

Li Zheng nodded.

He slowly stood up and walked towards Kong Xian.

"Li Zheng..."

Seeing Li Zheng walking in front of him, even at the last moment, the hatred in his eyes was extremely strong.

"Kong Xian."

"Thanks to the emperor's favor, let me, the general, come personally to see you off."

"Is this the last time I saw you? Are you unhappy?" Li Zheng looked at Kong Xian who was kneeling in front of him and smiled coldly.

Kong Xian was stimulated by Li Zheng's words. He struggled wildly, stood up suddenly, and tried to rush into Li Zheng.

But as soon as he stood up, he was rushed out by two guards and pushed directly to the ground by the huge force of the two guards.

"Li Zheng, you must die a happy death."

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."

"The emperor ordered me to be executed because he was deceived by you, a treacherous minister."

"I, the Kong family, have been the leader of Confucianism since ancient times. If you kill me today, I will be despised by the world's scholars in the future, and will be criticized verbally and written down in the history books." Kong Xian stared at Li Zheng and said angrily.
