Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 381
In the Ganlu Hall, the atmosphere was very serious. Li Tai, Li You, and Li Zhi had been announced to the Ganlu Hall, and the three of them stood aside. At this time, Li Tai should have already received the news.

He knew that it was Wei Siqian who started to act, so at this time Li Tai was holding back a smile. The appearance of a villain made Li You slightly ashamed. There are really very few people who cheat their own brothers. But Li Tai is one of the best.

"Fifth brother. What happened?"

Li Zhi came from Dunhuafang with Li You, this kid really didn't know anything, but after he came to Ganlu Hall, he found that Li Shimin might be on the verge of rage, so this kid was a little scared, and held on tight Leaning against Li You, he asked Li You in a low voice what happened.

"Don't worry about it, just stop talking nonsense later, the prince may be in trouble this time." Li You warned in a low voice.

"Brother Prince...?" Li Zhi swallowed, and then said nothing, anyway, as long as he wasn't in trouble.

"Father, you called Erchen and others, what's the matter?" Li Tai stepped forward slightly, bowed to look at Li Shimin and asked, to be honest, this guy is bad enough, he is preparing to To throw stones at Li Chengqian.

Hearing Li Tai's question, Li Shimin gave a slightly unfriendly look, but Changsun Wuji sat aside and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is not necessarily the work of His Highness the Crown Prince. Wei Siqian's words are all one-sided, and even if it is proved that it is true The place is owned by the prince, or someone may have done it behind the prince's back.

The prince has not acted out of line recently! "

As Li Chengqian's uncle, Changsun Wuji kept saying good things for his nephew. After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Fang Xuanling said slightly: "Your Majesty, we should wait for the prince to come. , can be determined.”

The consolation of Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling made Li Shimin calm down a bit, but it aroused Li Tai's strong displeasure. You know, what he wants now is Li Shimin's fury, but Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are everywhere. Favoring Li Chengqian aroused hatred in Li Tai's heart.

"The prince sees you...!"

After a stick of incense, Li Chengqian finally came late, and when Li Chengqian entered the Ganlu Hall, seeing the current situation in the hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Li Tai, Li You , Li Zhi. He also felt a little bit of something bad in his heart.

"My son, meet the emperor!"

Li Chengqian came to Li Shimin and bowed to salute.

If it was normal, Li Shimin would definitely say no courtesy, but today, looking at Li Chengqian who kept bowing, Li Shimin didn't say a word, just let Li Chengqian keep bending.

Other people, even Changsun Wuji, did not dare to persuade them, because since Li Chengqian entered the palace, everyone felt Li Shimin's overwhelming anger.

Li Chengqian didn't hear Li Shimin's words of excuse, so he just kept bowing his body. At this time, Li Chengqian also knew that he should have exposed something, that's why Li Shimin was so angry.

So at this time, Li Chengqian's heart was raised in his throat, because you must know that he is planning a conspiracy now. If the treason is investigated and dealt with, then Li Chengqian will undoubtedly die.

About ten minutes later, Li Shimin sighed slightly: "Prince, I will give you a chance to tell what you did wrong. As long as you tell, I will punish you according to the circumstances.!"

After hearing this, Li Tai frowned slightly, with a helpless expression on his face.

However, fortunately, Li Chengqian did not disappoint Li Tai, because Li Chengqian would never admit it when Li Shimin said so. Li Chengqian was worried that Li Shimin was lying to him.

So after Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Chengqian replied with an innocent look: "Father, my son did not do anything wrong. What's wrong?"

When Li Chengqian said this, Li Tai immediately gave his own brother a big praise, just asking you to refuse to admit it, so as to fill up the hatred value.

Sure enough, after Li Chengqian finished speaking so innocently, Li Shimin's eyes became sharp again. Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin said slightly: "Prince, you should know that I have already given you a chance. If you don't want this chance, then I have no choice. So I advise you to tell what you have done."

"Prince..." The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't take it anymore, he hurriedly persuaded: "Some things are good to say, your Majesty has already said that you should deal with it according to the circumstances, don't be stubborn."

But Li Chengqian didn't appreciate it at all. He showed a confused expression and said: "Father, uncle, I really don't know what I did wrong. I know you don't like Gu, but there is no need to frame me like this." Alone?"

After saying this sentence, Li Shimin was blown up in an instant. What is this called? This is called kindness as a donkey!

Changsun Wuji also sighed, showing a bitter expression.

"Alright, since you said you were not wrong, then Xuan Wei Siqian let the two of you confront each other face to face!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the servant shouted Wei Siqian's name. After a while, Wei Siqian walked in from outside the hall and came to the hall. Wei Siqian bowed to Li Shimin: "My minister, Wei Siqian, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin saw Wei Siqian: "Get up and tell me what you want to sue and who you are suing!"

"According to the order!" Wei Siqian bowed again without any hesitation and said, "The minister Wei Siqian wants to sue His Royal Highness the current crown prince for selling the test questions of Jinke Chunwei!"

"Pfft!" Wei Siqian's words changed Li Chengqian's face, who was still calm, and Li Chengqian quickly looked at Wei Siqian and said angrily, "You dare to falsely accuse Gu, but do you know what crime should be for framing the current crown prince?"

Facing Li Chengqian's questioning, Wei Siqian looked at Li Chengqian beside him calmly and said: "Your Highness, don't be so angry, if it can be proved that I framed you, then there should be laws of the Tang Dynasty to punish the humble minister.

And I also believe that the laws of the Tang Dynasty can not only punish mediocre ministers, but also anyone who violated the law in the Tang Dynasty, including your highness the crown prince! "

"Wei Siqian!" Li Chengqian yelled angrily: "Show me the evidence, otherwise, Gu must let you know the price of framing Gu!"

But at this time, Li Shimin sighed: "His evidence has been given to me. If you want to see it, let me show it to you!"

To tell the truth, Li Shimin asked people to deliver the small cloth bags on his table to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian also took the small cloth bags directly in his hands, and then Li Chengqian saw the contents of the small cloth bags one by one.

These contents were sent to Li Chengqian, and every time Li Chengqian looked at them, he felt a slight 'thump' in his heart. After Li Chengqian saw the place where he hid his money, Li Chengqian finally knew that the other party had solid evidence.

"Father. I.!"

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin said slightly: "I gave you a chance. It's a pity that you didn't take it!" After finishing speaking, Li Shimin asked: "Stealing the test questions of Chunwei and selling the test questions of Chunwei, who will tell me what crime should be. ?”

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were not too strict. If it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties, stealing Chunwei test questions and selling Chunwei test questions. Then 11% would be cut off. In the [-]th year of Qing Yongzheng, Yu Hongtu, Henan Xuezheng.!

Yu Hongtu lives in Henan Xuezheng, manages the province's imperial examination education affairs, is an honest official, and handles affairs cautiously, but he never expects that his concubine Lin colludes with the servants and secretly accepts bribes from candidates.

The specific method is that, on the eve of the courtyard examination, Lin will first secretly paste the test paper on the back of Yu Hongtu's official uniform. Afterwards, the servant gently took off the test papers inside the clothes and passed them on to the examinees, but Yu Hongtu was careless and didn't know anything about it. Over time, Yu Hongtu's reputation as a scholar was heard from far and near.

When Emperor Yongzheng learned about it, he was furious and sent imperial envoys to investigate closely. After finding out that the situation was true, Emperor Yongzheng immediately issued an order to cut Yu Hongtu in half.

It is said that after Yu Hongtu was cut in two on the execution ground, he was in so much pain that he stained his own blood with his fingers, trying to make the last breath, and wrote seven miserable characters before he died in peace. After reporting this tragedy to Emperor Yongzheng, Yongzheng ordered the sword to be sealed, and the punishment of beheading at the waist was abolished.

But this also shows the seriousness of selling test questions. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were not yet deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so after Li Shimin asked, Li Tai couldn't wait to jump out and said: "Huifuhuang stole the test questions of Chunwei and exiled for three thousand miles. Three years in prison for the Chunwei test questions!"

Changsun Wuji sighed!

Li Shimin also shook his head slightly, looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Prince, do you have any objections?"

At this time, Li Chengqian is already boiling water and is not afraid of boiling water. Even if Li Shimin asks questions, the prince will not speak anymore. His eyes are full of resentment. This is the manifestation of low EQ. If Li Tai encounters such a thing, he will know it Li Tai would definitely quibble crazily, and wouldn't admit it if he was killed, but Li Chengqian didn't make such a sophistry.

After the incident was revealed, Li Chengqian could only show an expression of resentment, and he couldn't utter any sophistry.

"Okay!" Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't speak, but looked viciously at Wei Siqian, Li Shimin didn't want to say anything more. Since he didn't speak, it was his acquiescence.

So Li Shimin also showed a helpless look: "Decree. Prince Li Chengqian steals the test questions of Chunwei and sells the test questions of Chunwei. Both crimes will be punished. I will imprison him in the East Palace!"

Confinement is a common penalty for crimes committed by the clan. Because the prince is a prince, exile is not applicable, so it was changed to confinement.

And confinement is a very harsh punishment!

At this moment, Changsun Wuji immediately got up and wanted to say something after hearing the confinement!
